Moonkin T8 Set Bonuses
That said, not all set bonuses are created equal. In some cases classes decide to skip a set bonus because it is either weak or useless. Others hold onto a set bonus for a very long time because it is so awesome. Since moonkin have been fairly lucky with set bonuses in the past I've been receiving a lot of questions asking me about the T8 set bonuses and should they drop the T7 bonus. In this post I hope to give you a good idea of what they are worth.
The Model:
I came up with these values using my model and my standard starting stats of a T7 BiS moonkin. Both the Solar and the Lunar model were updated and are being uploaded to File Front (in process). Please review my warnings on using my model found here.
4T7 - Wrath/Starfire Crit:
Your Wrath and Starfire spells gain an additional 5% critical strike chance.
Before week look at the tier 8 set bonuses I think it is important that we understand the value of the 4T7 set bonus. It is an awesome set bonus, but I get the impression that some players believe it to be untouchable.
In Theory: I subtracted 5% crit from both of my models and ran them a thousand times each. My results agree with my valuations of Crit Rating as a stat. For a Lunar rotation the 4T7 set bonus increased my Moonkins DPS by 176.54 DPS or 3.72%. For a Solar rotation the 4T7 set bonus increased my Moonkin's DPS by 213.73 DPS or 4.42%.
In Reality: In terms of DPS I don't know of anything that would alter the theoretical results. If you look at it from a mana perspective though it obviously has additional value due to Mana on Crit.
The Verdict: Anything that increases your DPS by about 4% is good thing so it is no wonder why this set bonus is so well liked. However, as good as a 4% increase is its not so huge that it couldn't be passed by another set bonus.
On a side note, this set bonus is more significant for a Solar rotation because crit is more valuable in a Solar rotation, but it is very good for a Lunar rotation.
2T8 - Eclipse increased by 15%:
Increases the bonus granted by Eclipse for Starfire and Wrath by 15%.
A lot of players are unhappy about this set bonus because it ties even more of Moonkin DPS to Eclipse. I can see their point but on the other hand its not like Eclipse is optional at the moment anyway. This set bonus should just be a supplement to how we are already playing.
In Theory: For a Lunar rotation the 2T8 set bonus increased my Moonkins DPS by 187.98 DPS or 3.96%. For a Solar rotation the 2T8 set bonus increased my Moonkin's DPS by 193.9 DPS or 4.01%.
In Reality: My theoretical numbers are probably a little high for this set bonus. My model assumes a stand still fight with a perfect rotation. In reality part of our Eclipse procs are going to be wasted due to movement or other game mechanics. So, lets assume a 70% usage of the Eclipse procs. For Lunar this would drop the numbers to 131.57 DPS or 2.77%. For Solar the numbers would go down to 135.73 DPS or 2.81 %.
The Verdict: Theoretically the 4T7 and 2T8 set bonuses are about equal in terms of DPS. In reality the 2T8 set bonus is a little bit behind, but some the difference is made up by tier 8's superior stats (yes, T8 does have superior stats). While it might be slightly worth it to stick with 4T7 instead of pickup up 2T8, the difference is very small. It is my opinion that you should break your 4T7 set bonus for the 2T8.
4T8 - Instant Starfire with IS:
Each time your Insect Swarm deals damage, it has a chance to make your next Starfire cast within 10 sec instant.
As you know there was a lot of drama surrounding this set bonus on the forums last week. The good news is that Blizzard will fix the bug and decrease the proc rate to 8% in the next minor patch. It should happen soon since blizzard has already released the patch notes.
In Theory: For a Lunar rotation the 4T8 set bonus increased my Moonkins DPS by 163.38 DPS or 3.31%. For a Solar rotation the 4T8 set bonus increased my Moonkin's DPS by 121.72 DPS or 2.42%.
Some of you may be surprised by this. I've seen many posters and bloggers assume that 4T8 would be better for a Solar rotation. However, the opposite seems true. After I did a little checking it looks like an instant SF is a bigger DPS increase over a normal SF then it is over a normal Wrath. This may even out a little bit when lag is added into the equation.
In Reality: For this set bonus I think my numbers are probably a little low. There are two primary reasons I think this. First, since it gives you an instant SF you can cast it while moving. This a significant bonus. Second, there will be times when you can DoT up multiple targets while moving. If you have IS's ticking on multiple targets then then you will get more procs. More procs means more DPS
The Verdict: I think it is a great set bonus and I will be equipping it once the fix is live. A couple of people have asked me if it is really worth it to equip it instead of hard mode gear. In my opinion, it makes the Tier(25) pieces better then hard mode gear. For hard mode gear to be better you would have to be getting at least 95 additional spell power or its equivalent. While a lot of the hard mode gear is great, its not earth shattering.
In short, I like the T8 set bonus once the 4T8 set bonus is fixed. The old 4T7 set bonus is awesome for its level, but its not so good that you should continue to use it in Ulduar at the expense of Tier 8 set bonuses.
On a Side Note: This will sound like a strange request to some of you, but I'm looking for some help with statistics. I did very well in my stats classes in college but that was over 12 years ago and I don't really remember it. So, I'm looking for some one with a good back ground in statistics to answer a couple of questions for me regarding my model.
1. To come up with relevant results I am running my model a thousands of times and taking the average DPS for each test. Is a simple average a relevant measure or am I missing something obvious that would make my results less accurate?
2. When I am running my model a thousand times I notice that the average results change very little after about 300 or 400 trials. How many trials do you think I need to run to get relevant results with a relatively low margin for error?
If you have a good knowledge of Stats and would like to help, please use my email to respond.

I'm not a stats person (and my stats courses were much longer ago than yours), but what you are seeing with the 300-400 trials seems to be on par with polling type of statistics and is why polling a few hundred people is fairly accurate for a much larger pool of people.

Thanks for the info, is there any chance that you could add the problem the instant SF can cause in a lunar rotation precast?
I mean i'm casting wrath to proc eclipse, i get the insta SF and instead of a lunar rotation i get a solar one.

ust a thought on the 4T8 for a Lunar cycle: What if it pops in the precasting phase? Do you let it expire if you don't get an eclipse? Do you risk popping the wrong eclipse if it crits? I see this as being a logistical problem that decreases the value of 4T8 for a Lunar cycle.
Also, in regards to the 2T8 and breaking 4T7, it allows you the freedom of possibly picking up two or three more Ulduar pieces. I do not value the 2T7 bonus that highly since IS rarely contributes more than 10% of my DPS anyway, amounting to a max of 1% DPS lost. I'd much rather chuck that and pick up some very nice non-set upgrades.
EDIT: I couldn't edit it so I deleted it and brought it here. I added a second thought up there.

Types of descriptive statistics: Minimum, maximum, range, mean (what you call "average"), median, mode.
I tend to just report averages, and/or ranges.
There is a trade-off between "sample size" and accuracy. After a certain point, you'll see very little return for your time (why the 300 trials gives you about the same average as 1000).
If you wanted to run inferential statistics (ie. does solar or lunar have statistically significant differences?), then you may end up needing larger sample sizes to detect smaller differences...

Oh, it's helpful to report both the mean and some type of range term (ie. variance, standard deviation) for people who actually understand statistics (so we know not just what the average is, but also what the spread of your distribution looks like). However, other than people like me who live statistics... mean is probably the most informative thing that the average person knows how to interpret.

Very very interesting article on the T8 that answer a lot of interrogations about it.
For your mathematical question :
The problem of average is only encountered if the difference beetween two values are huge - as the different values for DPS (even crit) are not very "different" the average is quite a good measure (and simple to understand).
So you are probably right in using the average.
Speaking of statistic : the number of figures needed to be "ok" depends of the quality of the input.
Anyway as your figure are mathematical results, with no "wrong figures" you can assume that 400 can be enough.
Eg in poles (like for election) the "representative value" is about 1500. Doing a collect of 60 000 is irrelevant expect on a huge period of time (not the case here).
So if you run 1500 iterations of your calculation it would be far enough to prove your figures.

The other statistic that would be interesting (to a few) is some idea of the variance - range or even better would be the standard deviation / variance. E.g. a coin with 499 & 501 would have the same average ( 500) as a coin with 1 and 999. But the latter would have more spread - ten flips would be 4990-5010 vs 10-9990.
The old way would be use Excel; but now the Cool Kids post an online Googel Doc spreadsheet. :-)
Thx for a great article. I don't think people realize just how much the price of level200+ items can bounce around; you can save a lot of gold by planning ahead.

Rather than run a single simulation with randomly generated numbers, it might be better to do N independent simulations with different sets of random numbers. That way you could do a true ensemble average.
In statistical language, you're currently equating "time average" with "ensemble average", which is often true for quantities like mean DPS, but may not hold for higher order moments like the variance and won't let you get a reliable sense of the parameter sensitivity. Particularly if certain nonlinear effects like details of the eclipse mechanics are dominating the results.

Maestro: I'm guessing that will be dependent on gear, but it should be easy to figure out if the difference in damage done during a solar eclipse instead of a lunar is greater than your average damage on a starfire. I doubt it is though. Solar has really gotten boosted.
- May 29, 2009 at 4:41 AM
- sonak said...
Anyway from tests on a dummy, and test on real circonstances (ulduar 10/25) :
warth to proc eclipse as an average DPS (on a 10min fight) of 3100 -
starfire to proc eclipse average 3050.
So we can say both are very very close now.
- May 29, 2009 at 5:23 AM
Your estimate get's closer to the true average at a speed of the square root of the number of samples you are running.
So incresing your sample size by a factor of 100 would improve the accuracy of the number by a factor of 10. If you think your already pretty close after 300-400 samples (and the number varying little after that is a useful way of saying that your pretty close) then increaseing to thousands will help a little but not a lot, so it's just a question of how long the extra samples takes you.
Volatility of the dps is good a decent measure to look at. Probably quote it in terms of 10% of the time your dps will be above X and 10% below Y (You might t do this via running more stamples and looking at the percentiles). This is easier for most people to understand I think.
I think an understanding of this could help in interpreting dps numbers and someone having a bad or great day could just be RNG. But on a full raid it feels to me like this averages out a lot across 15 or so dps each randomly having "good" or "bad" days.
Feel free to mail me if you want more details or have any questions.

great writeup. i am doing a few gear lists myself based on your weights limited to what reckon i have a chance of getting anytime soon (no hard modes basically). i just wonder about tier-bonus weights. is "95 additional spell power or its equivalent" as you mention here for 2p and 4p combined or 4p only? if so, what is the weight of 2p, and if both combined, what are the respective weights? thanks in advance.

Thanks for all the responses to my Statistics question. It has given me a lot to think about and I my have to ask a few more questions in the future, but here are some of the fun things I've found since then. Most of my trials have a variance of around 50 DPS and Standard Diviation of about 7 or 8. Given that the mean is around 5k this seems very small to me so I am more confident in my numbers. Thanks for the help.
My model assumend that you wouldn't risk procing the wrong eclipse so, if the buff falls of the buff falls of. However, I will say though that on average you will proc eclipse within ten seconds. So, wasted procs should be few and far between.
@Maestro aka Relevart
As I said to anon my numbers assume that you don't risk proccing the wrong eclipse. I also agree that holding on to the 2T7 set bonus isn't a big deal. My napkin math says it worth about a 0.8% increase to DPS.
Each of my numbers is independant of the other number. My 4T8 valuation assumes you have 2T8, but the valuation is the increase in DPS over the 2T8 set bonus. So each section is just for that set bonus.
Regarding the 95 Spell Power figure, Several people asked was it worth going for 4T8 or should the skip it and go for hard mode gear. The 95 Spell Power figure was the minimum and was for a solar rotation.
I don't have my spreadsheet available to me right now, but the Lunar rotation was around 130. The 2T8 set bonuses would be even higher then that. Probably around 150 or so.
- May 30, 2009 at 6:20 PM
thank you for the reply. so if i understand you correctly, assuming a lunar rotation, equipping 4+ t8 pieces gives a weight increase of the equivalence of ~(130 + 150) = 280 spellpower. that is pretty massive :). i guess it's a simplification of the matter but having some "hard numbers" brings the math down to my level...

A wasted proc is on average for me 14k damage (it would have to crit for it to be wasted in the first place). I doubt the difference between a solar and a lunar eclipse is that big. Have you done any modeling that suggests this is worth giving up?
- June 2, 2009 at 3:56 AM

I'm actually looking into this right now and will probably have something written up on it by tomorrow. I think the difference might come down to the idol bonus, but we shall see.

You Lost Control of Your Car in Bad Weather. Now What?
When the weather turns bad, it's best to stay off the roads. Heading out when conditions are less than ideal increases your risk of being involved in an accident. If you can't avoid it, here's what you need to know to lessen your risk and stay safe.
The most common reason for being involved in an accident in bad weather is a loss of traction. When weather conditions are bad and the road is wet, muddy, snowy or icy, traction is reduced and your car has a higher chance of slipping out of control. One of the best ways to lessen your chance of losing traction is to slow down and drive smoothly. Don't jam on the gas or brakes or jerk the steering wheel. Think of it this way: If you had to walk across a wet floor or ice skating rink, you'd stay in control by walking in a slow and controlled manner. That same principle applies to driving in slick conditions.
Regaining Control
Sometimes, despite your best efforts, your car still may lose traction and start skidding or even hydroplane on wet roads. Now the car is no longer traveling under your control. If this happens to you, don't panic. Instead, take your foot off the gas. Look where you want to go and smoothly steer the car in that direction. Give light braking pressure, if needed. Once the car is pointed in the direction you want to go, you can give a little gas as you regain control. You'll do better in this type of situation if you've had some practice, so consider taking a driving course where you're taught how to recover from skids.
Perhaps the most important step to take, besides not panicking, is to look where you want to go. Drivers have a natural tendency to look at where they don't want to go or objects they don't want to hit. Unfortunately, that usually means they end up steering toward where they're looking and end up hitting the very thing they were trying to avoid. By simply looking where you want to go when you've lost control of the car, you can help yourself regain control.
After You've Made Impact
In some cases, however, conditions may be so bad that you end up hitting something or getting stuck. If that's the case, first make sure everyone in the car and in the immediate area is all right, and call for medical help if anyone is hurt. If you're blocking traffic and can safely move your car, move it to a safe place. If you can't safely move it, call the police. Once you and your car are in a safe place, call your insurance company to file a claim for any damages to your car, other property or injuries. Use your cell phone to take pictures of the accident and the area around it, and if anyone else is involved, exchange insurance information with them.
No one likes losing control of their car, especially when the weather is to blame. But, by knowing what to do during and after you've lost control of your car in bad weather, you can better protect yourself and stay safe.

The classic design and low-profile pan makes this a real professional prop. Made of polished stainless steel, it will not warp or bend, nor will it 'lock up' like some of the aluminum models. Our Pans will last you a lifetime. Basic Effect: A small metal chaffing dish is shown and various ingredients are placed inside. The contents are accidentally set ablaze and the lid hastily replaced to extinguish the flames. The performer makes thing right as he gestures toward the Pan and removing the lid, reveals a real live baby chick!
The Pan can be used to produce any number of items from silk hanks, candy, toys, to a real live animal.
Finest quality for professional use. Pan is 5" in diameter
EXCELLENT. I use it since 8 years, it shines like in its first days. Highly recommended. What I do? Simple: I change a silver half dollar into a gold half dollar in my hand than put it in the pan and ask to a young boy if he wants bigger gold dollars, the answer is always "yes". I open the lid to show and serve big gold foiled Starbucks chocolates. - Selim Basarir, M. D.

• Other highlights: Talking about diets is a sensitive and tricky thing. Talking to people about changing their diets is even trickier. After spending some time with this book, I feel that Rebecca Katz and her co-author Mat Edelson do a really nice job of having this conversation and keeping it engaging! Longevity Kitchen certainly doesn't read like just another gimmicky diet book; it reads like an honest and well-informed cookbook devoted to healthier eating.
The first fifty pages of the book are devoted to an in-depth look at the relationship between food and your body, the ingredients to keep stocked in the pantry (and why), and the best foods and recipes to focus on with your particular medical condition. If this kind of eating is new to you or if your doctor has recommended you significantly change your diet for medical reasons, the information contained in these fifty pages will be invaluable.
They're also like a sigh of relief — a new diet doesn't mean total sacrifice! It can mean exploring your spice cupboard, getting up close and personal with sweet potatoes, and discovering what a squeeze of citrus can do for your simple lunch salad.
The recipes help to bring it all together. Paging through the book, entire meal plans fall into your lap. The recipes are simple and sound universally tempting. Someone who's used to a diet of meat and potatoes might need a little time to get used to something like a miso glaze on their cod or farro mixed with kale in a salad, but there are plenty of more familiar recipes to ease the dietary transition.
• Who would enjoy this book? Folks trying to eat and cook with more awareness of overall health and healthy diet; people diagnosed as pre-diabetic or who are at risk for heart disease; people with a family history of high blood pressure

Nothing deflates the thrill of a new purchase faster than seeing someone else wearing the same dress. So imagine how stars must feel when they see photos of other celebs in the same frock they thought they were rocking. . . Jennifer Lopez wore this kimono-style Roberto Cavalli dress while acting as the Grand Marshall, along with hubby Marc Anthony, of the Puerto Rican Day Parade earlier this summer in New York. A newly blonde (rumors swirl that it's for a role) Juliette Binoche turned up at the Venice Film Festival in a black version of the same dress. Great fashion minds really do think alike. Tell us who wore it better: Juliette or Jennifer?

This Umbreon is a Dark-type Pokémon that Gary evolved from his Eevee while in Johto.
Gary's Umbreon first appeared as an Eevee where it battled Ash's Pikachu shortly after Ash won the Orange League. Eevee defeated Pikachu without too much effort.
When it next appeared, Eevee had evolved into Umbreon and was used to battle an Alakazam whom it defeated without taking any damage. Ash wanted to challenge Gary and his Umbreon but Gary refused.
For some reason, Gary did not use Umbreon against Ash in the Silver League Conference.
Umbreon was one of Gary's favorite Pokémon and stayed with him through his journey in Sinnoh. It was Gary's only Pokémon that has not been 'defeated'. It once battled Ash's Gligar in a brief practice battle shortly before Gary gave Ash a Razor Fang in order to get Gligar to evolve.
Umbreon was also used when Gary encountered Team Galactic. Along with Gary's Electivire it challenged Saturn's Toxicroak but Toxicroak was too fast, even for Umbreon, and although it was not knocked out, it was unable to stop Team Galactic.

LOOK FOR THE WONDER. REPEAT. Right outside my window is a female ginkgo tree, her boyfriend is on the other side of the house, and every fall they engage in an ancient mating dance, a spectacular competition for attention. So exhausting is the effort, it doesn't last long. So intense is the result, it's explosive. And then it's gone, leaving only a memory.
One morning they're both green. That afternoon they're a bit less green. Overnight, they turn. The next morning, they shed light, a brilliant yellow that doesn't so much stop you as arrest you, so bright it shines through window shades and burns off gloom, a yellow that turns every other yellow green.
And the next day, it seems, it's all gone. Their leaves fall as one, leaving the host naked and alone, covering the patio and everything on it with their loss.
"Watch your step out there," Nora said, "the dogs just left a message in the ginkgo leaves and I got it."
So it goes. One day, it's all beautiful. The next day, it all turns to crap. Or maybe that's not the message at all.
My immediate family has been visited by death, near death and deadly threat, by deceit and heartbreak, by cancer in varying form, by Alzheimer's and plain old dementia, by diabetes, alcoholism, kidney disease and kidney stones, emphysema, bankruptcy, divorce, blown dreams and blue toe, broken bones and torn muscles, curved spines and fractured vertebrae, stupid mistakes and senseless loss, rejection and reflux, gum disease, blood disease and general disease.
And that's just up to now. And I'm due for a check-up.
But we've also been visited by each other, by shared experience and gained appreciation, by children and grandchildren, by a lot of friends and a lot of delightful silliness, by unforgettable moments and uncontrolled laughter, by faith and hope, and love. And by waking up today.
We've been visited by the privilege of life, the gift of perception, and the opportunity of choice.
Last weekend, the 1-year-old was bleeding on several adults and three dogs, on everything and everybody, as she screamed her way around the big room. The very tip of her index finger had been nipped by errant fingernail clippers and she was a fountain of misery. A bit later, she was wearing her very first Band-Aid and a very big smile as she held it up high and waddled across the same room to proudly show it to her grandfather.
All better now.
The ginkgo trees are regarded as living fossils, literally writing their history in stone dating back almost 300 million years, some claiming to live more than 2,500 years. And they've done that dance every one of those years a few billion times around the world, and right outside my window. To see the wonder of it, I only need to look.
The ginkgo trees don't leave you with a memory, they leave you with the promise of their return.
I'm a Memphian, and, this week, I'm especially thankful.

Did I mention that Squilliam is the object of Squidwards deeply buried affections?
You guys do realize this is a work of comedy, right? I'm not actually implying that Squidward is an old foreigner who doesn't want to admit he has the hots for Squilliam. This is just a bit of fun I'm poking at the 'Spongebob is gay' controversy.
How many times was he somewhat on the mark? xD
Someone obviously has way too much time on his hands...
According to him Big Bird/Snufful<whatever, the elephant guy> were gay as well as bert and enrie, and oscar on Seseme Street, Buffy was, Angel/Spike were a former couple, half the staff of B5, EVERYONE on Xena/Hercules, Picard, Geordi/Data (from ST:NG) and more than I can recall. He was trying hard to convince a bunch of us in a Buffy game that Xander was in the show.
Big Bird/Snuffles aren't a gay couple...Snuffles is Big Birds Drug induced Hallucination.Everyone knows that.
LSD figment that keeps coming back.

The 2011 Giro d'Italia, the first of the 3 Grand Tours of the cycling season, starts on Saturday. Known for its unpredictability and excitement, not to mention the rabid tifosi, last year's Giro will be a tough one to outdo. Don't remember the crashes, lead changes and climbing exploits that led to Ivan Basso's victory of the final pink jersey last year? Then check out this race highlight reel to get caught up on what happened:
This year's route promises more outstanding bike racing, with a route celebrating the Risorgimento, or unification of Italy in the 19th century. This year's Giro will roam all over Italy, in a wide-ranging route from the Alps all the way down to the slopes of Mount Etna on Sicily.
Many people are proclaiming this edition of the Giro as one of the toughest Grand Tours in history, and one look at the stage profiles bears out that assessment. With 8 mountain stages on tap, including an uphill time trial, this is a Giro for the climbers (not that Tyler Farrar, Mark Cavendish and Alessandro Petacchi won't battle it out in the sprints when they get the chance!). Alberto Contador has said that this Giro would be the hardest 21-stage race of his life.
And yes, and we did say Alberto Contador; participating in his first Grand Tour since his infamous drug test during the Tour de France, Contador will be vying for his 6th Grand Tour title. But he's not the only one with a shot at the final maglia rosa in Milan this year. Ivan Basso may have opted not to defend his title this year, but his young teammate Vincenzo Nibali (seen below in the pink jersey) will try to build on his triumph at the 2010 Vuelta a Espana, while Italian Michele Scarponi and former winner Denis Menchov will also be contenders for the overall (and don't rule out Menchov's Geox-TMC teammate and 2008 Tour de France champion Carlos Sastre).
But knowing the Giro, all we can be sure of is that the race will be filled with the twists, turns and surprises that make the Giro d'Italia so entertaining. If you want to dress the part while watching the race, you can always pick up a pro jersey from Katusha, Vacansoleil or (a personal favorite) the always distinctive Lampre-ISD kit:
And you might as well pick up a pro-level helmet while you're at it, like the sleek Lazer Helium or the brand new, and super-light, Giro Aeon:
Or you could just go all out and pick up a pro-level ride in honor of the Giro, such as the Fuji Altamira 3.0 road bike, or the race-tested Focus Izalco Team Replica road bike:
So are you excited for this year's Giro d'Italia yet? We sure are, and we hope to have so extra-special, behind-the-scenes footage and stories to share with you during the second week of the race! Stay tuned for details!

Three bears slaughtered in June Lake
Three bears are dead in June Lake and it's not their fault.
After a rash of bear break-ins in June Lake recently, three bears were shot to death in several separate incidents and the Department of Fish and Game said Thursday that it is investigating reports of a local June Lake resident who may have been feeding bears for some time now.
"I can confirm that we are investigating reports of a woman who is believed to be feeding bears in the area," said Andrew Hughan, a spokesman for the department.
The bear killings; one by a June Lake resident and two by Mono County Sheriffs deputies, were a "last resort" said both Sheriff Rick Scholl and resident Dean Rosnau.
Rosnau took out a bear depredation permit retroactively. He said Monday that Fish and Game issued the retroactive permit, after hearing about his encounter with a bear in his home and agreeing with him that the shooting of the bear was in self defense.
"Dead as soon as people started feeding them"
"Those three bears were dead as soon as people started feeding them," said Rosnau. He refused to give names of the people (he believes there might be more than one) who he says are feeding June Lake bears, but said "they have been doing it for years. It's even worse that they were locals.
"This was a terrible situation that did not have to happen," he said.
"It was terrible," he said again, visibly shaken.
He said he shot the bear in his home early Sunday morning after repeated attempts to scare the bear away. "It was in my house, on my porch, and it came straight at me trying to escape and I was armed," he said. "This is what happens when you feed bears."
Scholl said deputies shot the other bears earlier.
"Those two bears had broken into numerous homes over the past weeks, seven days in a row, whether the owner was home or not and our hazing techniques did not work," he said. "The owner was petrified." He said the bears had a long history of causing problems and that it is possible that they were siblings.
Scholl said that although bear problems technically belong to the jurisdiction of the state Fish and Game Department, there are only two game wardens to cover a huge amount of territory, meaning bears and other animal "problems" are often dealt with by on-duty sheriff deputies who can respond comparatively quickly.
"Anything that could be a public safety issue, or cause property damage, we respond to," he said. All incidents are reported to Fish and Game, he said.
He knows his department is likely to face some criticism for the bear killings, but he believes that deputies do everything possible to prevent bear deaths.
"As per our policy, and as you can see by the reports, killing a bear is the last resort and only done after hazing techniques have not worked, or the bear is an immediate threat to the public," he said in an email Thursday.
"We (sheriffs deputies) use the same handbook with the same manual as the Mammoth Lakes Police Department uses," he said. "We use many of the same hazing techniques, with much of the same equipment. The only thing we don't use that they use is pyrotechnic devices, anything that could start a fire."
"Mutual aid" doesn't apply to bear issues
Mammoth's Steve Searles, known as "The Bear Whisperer" in Mammoth and across the world now due to a popular television show, works for the Town of Mammoth Lakes as a wildlife specialist. Searles has helped develop and perfect many of the bear hazing techniques that are being used by law enforcement across the country and in other countries as well.
He believes the June Lake bear killings were entirely preventable.
"It's a matter of training, both the people and the bears," he said. "You simply can't feed bears, or leave food out and expect them not to associate that with humans."
He said he is frustrated with his limited reach: he's only allowed to employ his bear-hazing techniques within the four-square-mile boundaries of the Town of Mammoth Lakes due to a complicated and volatile mass of differing agency regulations, politics and personality conflicts that have dogged his efforts to protect bears outside of Mammoth for decades.
It's not that he believes he can single-handedly save every bear. He does not. But if he can help — if he has the time and training to help occasionally — why deny him?
"Any other situation where one agency cannot handle something alone, they call in for reinforcements," he said. "That's why they call it mutual aid. It happens when there are fires, when there are search and rescues. But not with bears and they pay the price for it. I can't help even when I have the time and training to do so."
Mammoth Lakes Police Chief Dan Watson said he is fully supportive of Searles extending his work into the county, should the county request help.
"I've told them that," he said.
But Scholl believes his deputies can handle the situation in the county, due to their proximity to the local areas affected and the training he said they already have.
"Mammoth has a much bigger problem than we do," he said. But he added that there has been a big increase in bear-related incidents across the country, not just in Mono County, where his reports show a marked spike in bear incidents.
In the end, the three bears are gone and June Lake residents are left to grapple with the issue, just like their neighbors down the road do. Is there anything anyone could have done before it came to this? Why didn't someone turn in the people believed to be feeding the bears sooner?
There are a lot of questions, a lot of answers still to be found.

For years, doctors told John Young that because he had achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism, he couldn't run.
Young, a 47-year-old teacher at the Pingree School in South Hamilton, Mass., is 4-foot-4-inches tall.
But on Tuesday, Young finished the final half mile of his first Boston Marathon more than two weeks after the April 15 bombing ended it half a mile early for him. As he reached his family near the finish line, his son put the marathon medal over his head.
"I lost it," he told ABCNews.com. "I was just weeping."
His 10-year-old son, Owen, had been waiting at the finish line with Young's wife, Sue Casey, when the bombs exploded. They were unharmed, but Young said he wanted to give Owen a happy memory of the area.
"He said, 'Dad, all I want to do is put the medal around your neck when you cross the finish line,'" Young said. "I'm amazed at how strong he was."
But Young was strong, too. His journey to the marathon started seven years ago, when his wife suggested he might have sleep apnea -- or difficulty breathing during sleep --which is a common complication of dwarfism. It's also common in people who are overweight, which Young was at the time.
Not long after he sought treatment for sleep apnea, he started to feel more energetic, so he started to exercise by swimming and riding his bike. He didn't run, but he was losing weight.
RELATED: World's Smallest Dwarf Siblings Live Large at College
One day Young came across a YouTube video of Team Hoyt. Rick Hoyt, 51, has cerebral palsy, but his father, Dick Hoyt, 72, pushes him in a wheelchair during runs, pulls him in a special boat during swims and rides with him on a tandem bike. They did dozens of distance races a year, including 247 triathlons and 70 marathons -- 30 of which were in Boston.
"I got very emotional watching," Young said. "I thought if this father can do this with his son, I think I can do a triathlon."
He signed up for his first triathlon in 2009, but he skipped the running part.
"When I saw everyone else getting off the bike and running, I thought, 'I really need to do a full triathlon,'" he said.
Because people with achondroplasia have narrow spinal columns at the base of the spine, they can experience numbness or back pain during running. But Young said running never hurt him. Although many doctors tell people with dwarfism to avoid running entirely, Young's doctor was supportive.
"His adage is, If it doesn't hurt, don't stop," Young said.

Four weeks later, Young raced in a triathlon with a 3-mile running portion. Since then, he's done more than 20 triathlons, including two half-"Iron Man" distances, which included a 1.2 mile swim, a 56-mile bike ride and a half marathon, which is 13.1 miles. It takes him about 8 and a half hours to complete.
To prepare for a full Iron Man, he would need to do a marathon, so he signed up for the New York City Marathon, which was canceled because of Superstorm Sandy. So two weeks later, he did one in Plymouth, Mass., finishing in 6 hours and 20 minutes.
To his surprise, he qualified for the mobility-impaired division of the Boston Marathon. Young and 26-year-old Juli Windsor were to be the first people with dwarfism to ever compete in it, which didn't surprise him because he often looks for athletes like himself, but he almost never finds them. Windsor is 20 years his junior, but she reminded him that he could push himself to run faster.
"What she showed me is there's probably more inside of me where I can probably run faster," he said. "I think a lot of people limit themselves either by what other people are telling them or other people's ideas. A lot of times, limits are false, and you can push yourself a lot further."
Young was on "Heartbreak Hill" five miles from the Boston Marathon finish line on marathon day when he felt proudest of his athletic achievements. He passed a young son and his father. Like many children who see him, this boy said loudly, "Look at that little man running."
"Sometimes parents ignore them or get embarrassed," Young said.
But this father turned to his son and explained that he'd read about Young in the newspaper, and that he was going to be the first man with dwarfism to complete the Boston Marathon.
Young was so proud, he could have stopped right then, he said.
"There's no type of marathon body," Young said. "If you train, put in hard work and follow through, you can do it."

Difference between revisions of "Ayacucho"
Revision as of 17:11, 25 November 2012
Ayacucho is in the Southern Sierra region of Peru. The population is about 100,000, altitude 2,700 m. Ayacucho is embedded in a broad sunny valley with mild climate. It is home of the Morocucho people, a group of the Quechua.
During the 80's and early 90's, Ayacucho was mostly under control of the Sendero Luminoso, an extreme leftist terrorist group. After the successful anti-terror fights under president Fujimori, the influence of the Sendero Luminoso decreased almost completely. In the recent years, some singular activities have come up again. The area of Ayacucho is declared as zona de emergencia (emergency zone), but the only practical restriction for normal tourists seems to be the recommendation not to travel in the area during night time.
The Tourist Office is found in the Plaza de Armas.
Get in
The Airport has flights from Lima. Small airlines in Peru are a bit sketchy, but a good alternative for those who don't like a rough long bus ride.
Daily buses to and from Lima on a well paved road. (9-10h) - It goes over some high mountain passes which make some people sick
Daily buses to and from Pisco the same well paved road. (6h)
Daily buses/colectivos to and from Huancavelica offer 3 alternatives (note: dirt roads may be impassible in the rainy season):
The above three options also work in reverse. However, the bus from Huancavelica to Rumichaca leaves at 4:30 AM.
Daily buses to and from Andahuaylas, run by Molina, Wari (leaves at 5AM) and others (at least 10 rough hours). The dust road is partly in very poor condition, but the magnificent scenery is more than a compensation for that.
Get around
Taxis run for 3 Soles (1US$) in the city.
Willy Del Posa Posa runs a Tourist Agency Near the Plaza de Armas. He proved honest and helpful on a few occasions.
On the road towards the bus station, some places offer nice but simple double rooms for less than 20 soles, and 13 soles for the use of only one bed.
You can stay at the Plaza Hotel for as long as you need.
Get out

Top Muslim Cleric Warns of Egypt Civil War
A top muslim cleric warns of impending civil war in Egypt as the gunfight between soldiers and supporters of ousted president Mohammed Morsi sharply raises the stakes in the brewing conflict between Egyptian secularists and Islamists. Charles Levinson reports.

Red Carpet to Room: Blush & Navy
Did you watch the Golden Globes on Sunday? I personally love a good awards show. As I was scanning the red carpet fashions, a couple color trends caught my eye. Some actresses were eschewing black for navy. And on the lighter end, there was a handful in the palest pink-nearly-ivory blush-toned gowns. After tracking down some examples, the hues make a chic pair in decor, too!
With navy-clad Sofia Vergara sitting at a table with blush-covered Julie Bowen, you could see how complementary the colors are. Structured, classic navy gets a pinch of femininity from soft blush, and the navy keeps the pink from getting too girly. What do you think?

John Taylor needed a new t-shirt design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 18 designs submitted by 9 freelance designers.
AJ's On The Lake
AJ's On The Lake is an upscale seafood restaurant.The bar (square) has a nautical feel (waves). Because of its shape there are lively discussions around the bar each night ranging from Nascar, girls and politics. These "regulars" that inhabit the bar daily we call "Skid Row". I would love a t-shirt design that would set them apart from the regular diners and also become an attractive design that would promote the restaurant. Much like Joe's Crab Shack. http://www.ajsgrille.com
See above. The Skid Row members range from affluent to craftsmen and nurses. They have all become friends and know and tease each other. Their television interests are Nascar, College Football, Baseball, and women.
It must be memorable, attractive and fun.
I would like to work in "Founding Member" somewhere but its not critical. I had though about a nascar car with our logo and skid row in the design. Racing team etc. Just my initial thoughts but I'm open to anything.

Stewart Downplays His Role in Smith's Win
Consider it the ultimate irony.
In October of 2008, when Regan Smith thought he had recorded the first Sprint Cup victory of his career at Talladega, it was Tony Stewart who helped take it away from him. Last Saturday night, when Smith finally did capture that elusive first win more than two years and eight months later, Stewart had a hand in helping him do it.
Mostly overlooked in the aftermath of Smith's dramatic victory in the Showtime Southern 500 at Darlington was the fact that Smith and his No. 78 Chevrolet team accomplished the unlikely trip to Victory Lane with assistance from a pit crew on loan from Stewart-Haas Racing. They have been pitting Smith's car for Furniture Row Racing all season.
Stewart downplayed the role the SHR pit crew had in Smith's big win and said he was ecstatic to see Smith finally reach Victory Lane -- which he did after declining to make a final pit stop in a perfectly-timed effort to gain track position when Carl Edwards, then the race leader, and most others opted to pit and take on fresh tires late in the race.
"I think Regan did it on his own at the end," Stewart said. "Our guys did a great job all night long, but I think you've really got a place it in Regan's hands. He did a great job. To finish it off the way that he did was classy -- and that was hard to do.
"To have that pressure on you going after your first win, and on top of that to have 20 more laps on your tires than all the other guys around you, that's not the ideal scenario. What he did to win his first race was very, very hard to do. But he made the best of his opportunity."
Smith thought he had made the best of his opportunity in the fall of '08 at Talladega, when he beat Stewart to the finish line. But NASCAR ruled that Smith advanced his position by dipping below the yellow line that signals out of bounds at that track, and Stewart was ruled the victor.
It would be 89 more Sprint Cup races over parts of four seasons before Smith finally earned the win that should help ease, if not entirely erase, the pain of the Talladega setback. Stewart helped make it happen by agreeing to loan out the pit crew to Smith's team prior to the 2011 season -- with the caveat that at any time he can pull one of Smith's pit-crew members from the No. 78 car to one of the other SHR cars, including the No. 14 Chevy he drives himself and the No. 39 driven by Ryan Newman.
"Basically the moral of the story is that's the third pit crew that we have," Stewart said. "If something happens, we always wanted to have other guys we could call on. It's no different than a football or baseball or basketball team where you've got guys on the bench who can come in and substitute. The best thing for these guys is to be active every week and doing what they're doing.
"So there was an arrangement made with Furniture Row Racing where those guys pit the 78 car each week. It's good for us, knowing we've got a group of guys getting experience and staying sharp. And of our three teams, they actually were the second-best pit crew for us over the [Darlington] weekend. It makes you feel good as an organization, knowing that we've got three really good pit crews right now. If we have an injury in one spot, we have that third team to pull from."
Told Smith may now have something to say about that before any switch is made, Stewart laughed heartily and added: "He may be the third guy we want to pull and keep for ourselves.
"He did an awesome job. We've had two races this year that have been storybook endings for guys [including Trevor Bayne's upset win in the season-opening Daytona 500]. It's neat to see someone like Regan get to Victory lane. You look at the scenario and you look at that team being based in [Denver] Colorado, and it's amazing to see what they've accomplished in a sport really where it's very regionalized as far as where everyone else is based out of. But he's pushed and pushed and pushed, and he's getting the results now."
Even Rick Hendrick, whose Hendrick Motorsports is at the opposite end of the ownership spectrum from Furniture Row Racing's single-team operation, has taken notice.
"That was unbelievable. Those guys worked hard and he's a heck of a driver," Hendrick said of Smith and the No. 78 team. "Those guys deserved to have an opportunity to win, and I just think that speaks volumes to how competitive these cars are. He drove the wheels off that thing -- because I would have bet you everything you had that there was no way you could take old tires and stay in front of Carl [Edwards] and those guys at the end at Darlington. But he did it, and he drove the wheels off it.
"I think it's good for the sport. I know it's good for the sport. ... That shows a lot of independent [owners] what they can do."
Especially, Hendrick didn't need to add, with a little assistance from non-independent owners willing to help out.

Spielbauer amassed 17 digs while Leonard posted 11 of her own. Tatiana Berger led the way with three aces as Kelly recorded seven digs. Hao distributed 28 assists in the loss.
Li and Schulte were forces to be reckoned with at the net versus Vassar as Li led the way with 15 kills while Schulte had 14 kills and four blocks. Hao tallied 39 assists, five digs, four aces, and one solo block as Berger posted eight digs, five kills, and two aces. Gargus and Bunker notched four and three blocks, respectively, while Spielbauer totaled 16 digs. Jensen contributed 12 digs as Leonard and Kelly both added six.

This figure takes into account ten hours a week prep time, not just my hours in class. What we have to take into consideration is both the low tax rate and the free rent. I get a lot of my meals free at the cafeteria. I don't have car expenses, except for busses and the occasional taxi. If I am conscientious and don't travel abroad, I would be able to save almost $1400 a month. So the hourly wage is misleading. If I made that much an hour in the States I would barely be able to make ends meet. But it is an interesting exercise to figure it out.

Does anyone know when they might start making notifications? It seems like it should be about now from last year's experience. Thanks in advance.
Last year they sent out EA decisions on April 15. I think they've changed the system a little bit this year, so that might impact when they send out acceptances. Also, in response to the comment about contingent EA offers - they've had that policy in place for the last few years, but I don't know of anyone who's had an offer revoked. I was accepted EA last year and my second semester grades were not nearly what my first semester ones were. I really wouldn't worry about it too much.

Semihandmade: Custom Doors and Drawer Fronts For IKEA Kitchens
If you followed along with Faith's kitchen renovation, you already know about Semihandmade, the LA-based company that makes custom fronts to fit IKEA kitchens. She said ordering from them was "the single best decision" she made through her entire kitchen renovation process. High praise indeed! If you're new to this company, here's what you need to know:
In sum, Semihandmade provides custom fronts specifically designed to fit IKEA's modular kitchens. This means that you can buy a budget IKEA kitchen — the cabinets, feet, hardware, etc — but finish it with fully custom doors, drawer fronts, and panels from Semihandmade for an upscale look at a fraction of the price. It's the best of both worlds!
Here's how it works: when you've designed your IKEA kitchen online or in the store, send the plans to Semihandmade. They'll send you bids based on your chosen door style and material, and once you've agreed on something, you can order your IKEA kitchen (sans any doors) while Semihandmade creates custom, perfectly-fitted fronts. That's what is says on their website, and Faith confirms that's pretty much exactly how it worked:
I worked with the Semihandmade owner John McDonald to plan out and order drawer fronts, doors, side panels, and filler pieces for my IKEA kitchen plan. I sent him the IKEA kitchen plan I made and he gave me a list and a quote of everything the kitchen needed. It was super simple, and the results are absolutely stunning. I even got cut-outs instead of hardware handles on most of the drawers, just like I wanted.
See here for their pricing notes. In general, prices for their veneer fronts start at about 50% higher than IKEA's Abstrakt line. But in comparison to a fully customized kitchen, you're likely to save upwards of 30-40%.
