...* Meta Socket: Chaotic Skyflare Diamonds are the best meta gem for warlocks. While Crit is not a stat Warlocks should gem for, the 3% extra crit damage is multiplied by the Destruction talent Ruin to actually give a 9% increased damage when you crit. This is incredibly powerful and makes this meta-gem much stronger than any of the other options. * Red Sockets: Reds should always be filled with Runed(spellpower) gems. * Yellow Socket: Yellow sockets should actually be filled with orange gems. If you are not hit-capped then use Veiled(spellpower/hit) gems. If you are hit-capped then use Reckless(spellpower/haste) gems. * Blue Sockets: Blues should actually be filled with purple gems. The temptation is to use spellpower/stamina gems but a much greater DPS increase is gained by using Purified(spellpower/spirit) gems. What enchants are best for a warlock? * Head: Arcanum of Burning Mysteries * Shoulders: Greater Inscription of the Storm or Master‘s Inscription of the Storm if you are a Scribe * Chest: Enchant Chest - Major Spirit or Enchant Chest - Powerful Stats * Wrist: Enchant Bracers - Superior Spellpower or Fur Lining - Spell Power if you are a Leatherworker * Hands: Enchant Gloves - Exceptional Spellpower or Enchant Gloves - Precision if you need the extra hit or Hyperspeed Accelerators if you're an engineer. * Legs: Brilliant Spellthread * Feet: Enchant Boots - Tuskarr's Vitality > Enchant Boots - Icewalker > Enchant Boots...

She needed to do her mission, but he was beyond reason at the moment. She could resume her task in the morning. Elsewhere… Heswyn remained at the manor. She was ashamed, she brought her mistress distress and nearly ruined everything. Heswyn wanted to undo her mistake, and make Jhorlia happy again. Jhorlia spent so much effort in this, and then…. She felt a presence in the room. She saw a shadow engulf her as she turned in horror, a familiar Dreadlord stood behind her, and to her horror he had an orb. An orb that would undoubtedly imprison her. One that she would be fuel some would be warlock. Back at the Church… Douglas knelt at the Altar to pray, the only thing he was good for. If he was as good as a father as he was a Knight, maybe Caldwell would live. The pain of burying his only child was unbearable. He failed his son, and he failed as a father. He knew only one thing was left for him to do. One way to stop the pain… Behind him was a noose and a stool, the noose was tied and ready. The only way to end the pain, the only way out. He finished his prayer as he asked for the Light’s forgiveness. Some say people who commit suicide were cowards, but they were wrong. It takes courage to go through with the act. He set his Libram on the altar one last time. He moved like a ghost to the stool as he stood with the traitors rope...

...Their parents couldn't help anyone and were slain in the battle. Caladril and Gwenyth couldn't stand by and watch their parents get attacked. Caladril not yet strong enough to shapshift into anything helpful, he ran over and grabbed his crossbow and tried to keep his distance and take some pressure of his father and mother. Gwenyth grabbed her staff and tried to attack the powerful warlock who was destroying all that she loved. Though she was a year younger than her brother and not even close to being able to put up much of a fight against this warlock. Noticing this young Druid rushing towards him, he let out a laugh, and started muttering some words under his breath. Only word that was heard was "Nastrisal". With that being said a great and powerful creäture raised up from depths of the earth. This creäture was at least 40 feet tall and seemed to be covered in red drake scales. He held a giant great sword. He quickly swept up the girl and stopped her dead in her tracks. The Warlock let out another laugh and said " FInally i've come for what I was looking for " Then cast a spell that exploded smoke all around the...

...INTRODUCTION We have been task to watch movie Die Hard 4 as our individual assignment and have been told to do a summary report based on the movie that have been watch and based on the movie we need to collect the content of the movie summary based on the rubric given. We watch it in the class for about 1 and a half hour. Below is the summary that I have summarized. McClane is attempting to stop cyber terrorists who hack into government and commercial computers across the United States with the goal to start a "fire-sale" of financial assets. The F.B.I. responds to a brief computer outage at their Cyber-Security Division by tracing down top computer hackers, finding several of them have been killed. Taking others into protective custody, the F.B.I. asks New York City Police Department detective John McClane to collect Matthew "Matt" Farrell. McClane arrives in time to prevent Farrell from being killed by assassins working for a cyber-terrorist named Mai Linh who was working for her boss and love interest, Thomas Gabriel. En route to Washington, D.C. Farrell reveals that he received a large sum of money from Mai to write an algorithm that can crack a security system. As they arrive in D.C., Gabriel orders his own crew of hackers to take control of the transportation grids and stock market, while nationally broadcasting a message threatening the United States. Farrell recognizes this as the start of a "fire sale", an attack designed to target the nation's reliance on computer...

John McLane, interrupts guy making out with his daughter, Lucy. She told the guy he was dead. [i.e. family dynamics, dysfunctional] She’s not talking to him. ‘You are such an asshole’. She isn’t using his surname. McLane asked to pick up one of hackers being sought for possible FBI breach. Matthew Farrell, who we saw earlier being contacted by one of those involved in the hacking (fits geeky stereotype in collectable figures, etc). Killers after him, just as McLane arrives. First real action sequence, although not large scale, mainly shooting. Explosion in computer – booby-trapped. Escape building. Into car, grabbed through window – action continues, stunts, etc, guys on car. But doesn’t turn into car chase to follow (as might expect). Followed by quiet reaction – of bad guys, of the two in the car. ‘Have you done stuff like that before’, asks M (intertextual ref, but also motivated). Seven dead hackers so far, none of whom were on the FBI list of suspects. (Hackers used without knowing what they were involved in.) 4th of July weekend (fitting DH holiday template). Music taste difference between M and J (old rock preference of J, Credence; marker of generational difference).

...Halloween: The gate between the living and the spirit world opens Holly A. Moran Keuka College COM320.355 Abstract Halloween is a magical and superstitious time of year. It is a time when the spirits, fairies, goblins and witches come out to join the living. Not so long ago people believed that, and some still do, that the spirit world is closer on the night of Halloween. It is a night when you can talk with your deceased loved ones, find out who is going to die before the next Halloween or find your mate. Though we no longer hold sacrifices to the Lord of the Dead, we still celebrate with a lot of the same traditions that took place hundreds of years ago. Of all the festivals and celebrations that we observe today, few have a tale stranger than Halloween, also known as the eve of Allhallows – or Hallowmas or All Saints’ Day. All Saints’ Day is one of the gloomiest festivals of the church, while at the same time it observes the supernatural ceremonies with which the church has always been at war. This, after all, is the night when ghosts walk and fairies and goblins are astray. (Linton, 1950) Druids held the earliest celebrations in honor of Samhain, Lord of the Dead, whose festival actually fell on November 1. November 1 was also the Celtic New Year’s Day, the beginning of winter and the time known as “the light that loses, the night that wins.”(Linton, 1950 pg. 4) Halloween (Hallowe’en) is one of the world’s oldest...

...The Cemetery Once upon a time, on a dark, quiet, and almost eerie night, there were two girls walking past the cemetery on the way to a friend’s Halloween party. When all the sudden the two girls heard screams of help. Startled by this they decide to go into the cemetery. The fog rolled over the tombstones, just barely visible by the full moon. Towards the middle of the cemetery a dark and ominous figure stood staring at us. It looked like a man but when we took a second look the figure was gone, and then out of nowhere came a warlock from behind a tree, and swooped down. His screams were ear piercing, and his eyes glowed like fire. We ran for our lives. As we ran through the cemetery in hopes of finding the exit, we notice all the graves had been dug up. We didn’t know what we were going to be up against. Our only hope was to find our way out. We walked further into the cemetery and came up upon a tomb. We were about to walk past it when a huge group of bats started coming at us. We decided to take shelter in the tomb. As we entered the tomb we could smell death. I looked down only to notice a trail of bloody footprints. When we looked around we couldn’t see anyone. Then there was a loud bang on the tomb door that made all of us jump. The door was closed; the only option was to walk through the tomb. We were so scared. After walking for what seemed to be an eternity, we notice a light at the end of the tunnel. We all had a moment of hope. We rushed to the end to find...

...Abstract Throughout all of history people have been using and experimenting with drugs especially artists and musicians. Numerious musician have reluctantly admitted to or actually proclaimed their use of drugs. The general conscious of these “artists” is that their drug use has unlocked a higher level of creativity. As trendsetters and role models this use of drugs was emulated by audiences across the United States and Great Britain. To such a point as references to mind altering drugs were appearing in Beats poems and essays and even protest songs of the middle 1950s. As music progressed through the year’s drug use (by artists and fans) and references became more mainstream. This paper will look at two specific band, The Beatles and the Grateful Dead. Rock and Roll on Drugs Drug use and music have been intertwined for many years. This use whether illegal or legal has had both positive and negative impacts on the artists and their success. While the creative juices may be flowing while under the influence of drugs the final outcome (maybe years down the road) almost always ends on a negative note. Even dating back to 1830 when Hector Berlioz wrote his most famous work “Symphonie Fantastique” he detailed the effects of an opium induced dream, specifically in the fourth movement. In an interview on June 16, 1967, Paul McCartney was asked if he ever took drugs, he said “After I took it (LSD), it opened my eyes. We only use one-tenth of our brain. Just think what we could accomplish...

...SHADOWHUNTERS. The word that really caught my attention while walking down the hall of our local bookstore. The Mortal Instruments Trilogy is a young adult paranormal romance/urban fantasy, set in a colorful version of our reality where humans walk unaware of not just the vampires, werewolves, fey and warlocks, but also demons and their part-human enemies – the Shadowhunters. The author Judith Rumelt better known by her penname Cassandra Clare is a bestselling American author of young adult fiction. The books are inspired by the urban landscape of Manhattan, Cassandra’s favorite city. As I progress through, I found that the books are fast flowing with vivid characters, a lot of action, and interesting twists. The City of Bones, the first book of the trilogy, tells us about a seemingly ordinary teenager, Clary Fray, who live in New York City, discovers she is the descendant of a line of Shadowhunters, a race of young half-angel warriors locked in an ancient battle to protect our world from demons. After the disappearance of her mother, Clary must join forces with a group of Shadowhunters, who introduce her to a dangerous alternate New York called Downworld, filled with demons, warlocks, vampires, werewolves and other deadly creatures. As I read through the book I found each and every character such charming personalities, as if they where real. I become aware of there presence and starts to worry. The words used by Cassandra to narrate the whole story and describe what it looks...

... To women being accused of being a witch was a way men could demoralise them and justify their own power, it was dangerous for women to be independent or different in any way. Therefore Charmed was successful in its ability to make the witches central and empowering women, by working together the three sisters are able to defeat many supernatural demons, showing the power of female solidarity. Michaela Myer, in her essay, “The process of developmental empowerment in Charmed: Implications of a television narrative on third-wave feminism, witchcraft, and disempowerment” argues that, ““Charmed has made empowerment palatable to a postmodern generation who is turned off by the word feminism.” In the series the male witches are known as warlocks, they attempt to steal power from the three sisters but are always defeated by the heroines. It is interesting to note that in Charmed it is women who have the most power, with the exception of one episode, while male witches are represented as a dangerous evil, women are portrayed as the saviours. The three sisters live together and are therefore not dependant on men, nor are men the dominant subject of conversation. This essay will focus on three key episodes of the series Charmed, analysing them as post-feminist texts. While Charmed is hailed as a post-feminist television show, some critics of post-feminism argue that post-feminism is an invention by the media in order to sell. Therefore capitalism is using feminism to its advantage...

...Since he is one of Brona's opposers philosophically and politically, he could very well be clouded by his purpose or duty to wage a new war to win the Sword, as to blind him to Brona's intentions. (Apologies again for going off on the sarcastic remark I made as the last sentence of my previous post saying that the Warlock Lord was probably just misunderstood. I assure you, I didn't think I would be posting this at that time.) Anyway, I have just made the bold claim that Allanon was exaggerating or, *gasp*, goodness forbid, even not telling the whole truth. All Brona did, was to attempt to master the mystic arts, naively not knowing what it may yield. Now, we know that this magic warped him, turning him into the embodiment of...

...Viral Marketin To : Mohammad Anisur Rahman, Assistant Professor From : Shah Alam Laskar, ID# 201103109 Date : November 16, 2012 Re : Assignment-03 Viral marketing, viral advertising, or marketing buzz are buzzwords referring to marketing techniques that use pre-existing social networks and other technologies to produce increases in brand awareness or to achieve other marketing objectives (such as product sales) through self-replicating viral processes, analogous to the spread of viruses or computer viruses (cf. internet memes and memetics). It can be delivered by word of mouth or enhanced by the network effects of the Internet and mobile networks. Viral marketing may take the form of video clips, interactive Flash games, advergames, ebooks, brandable software, images, text messages, email messages, or web pages. The most common utilized transmission vehicles for viral messages include: pass-along based, incentive based, trendy based, and undercover based. However, the creative nature of viral marketing enables "endless amount of potential forms and vehicles the messages can utilize for transmission" including mobile devices. The ultimate goal of marketers interested in creating successful viral marketing programs is to create viral messages that appeal to individuals with high social networking potential (SNP) and that have a high probability of being presented and spread by these individuals and their competitors in their communications with others in a short period...

...teacher and thought he was a little pale? Not your average pale, but ghostly pale, almost vampire pale? Is the delivery man a little hairy? And toothy? An unable to deliver on full moons? These scenarios are fully plausible in Cassandra Clare’s City of Bones, the first book in The Mortal Instruments series. It was originally a trilogy, with the City of Glass being the finale, but readers begged for more, and Clare added three more books to the series and included a prequel and sequel series. In City of Bones Clary Fray discovers a New York that runs in her veins, but one she has never seen. Alongside irresistible Jace, indifferent Alec, and edgy Isabelle, Clary must find her missing mother in a realm full of vampires, werewolves, faeries, and warlocks. Not to mention demons, angels, and Nephilim, the mighty offspring of angels and humans. In City of Bones, Clary and her best friend Simon are clubbing it out, when she sees a group of people no one else can see. Apparently, her mother senses that she’s discovered her ability, so she plans on fleeing to a country home outside the...

...Bureaucratic and Patron-Client Organization Executive Summary Howard Abadinsky (1985) proposed the bureaucratic and patron-client models of organized crime. The bureaucratic model characteristics have compilation from Fredrick Taylor (1990) and Max Weber (1947) theories on organized crime. This structure has a requirement of a hierarchy of power, rules, and regulations with each group, a labor division, specialized members, and a routine necessary for the group to function efficiently. ¬¬¬Outlawed biker groups such as the Hells Angels and the Warlock are a bureaucratic form of organized crime. The Mafia represents the comparable model; the patron-client organized crime model. Formal initiation confirms membership into the group and like the bureaucratic model; the structure is of hierarchy power. The main boss has an underboss and downward levels of power the members have a close relationship and the relationships branch out towards the bottom level and this is where new members are initiated. By branching out the lower level, the organization has a better opportunity to evade detection and apprehension by law enforcement, and maintain a steady flow of production and operation (Limbaugh, Sept.10, 2010). Another attribution for the organization models an executive branch as in a system of government. For example, if the top leader were unable to fulfill the role, the next person in position would take over the role of that leader, and so forth. The “patron-client...
