With the introduction of cutting ice Machines edge and innovative technologies, a commercial ice machine is no longer a bulky device producing insanitation, consuming a lot of energy, making noise, and taking a lot of time to make the needed supply of ice. As a result of high end technologies, commercial ice machines are able to achieve "being green" the highest levels of energy and water conservation. Now a commercial ice machine can easily produce from 65 pounds to 2,000 pounds of ice cubes in a day. You can find varied shapes of ice cubes such as dice, half dice, octagon, crushed, nugget, and flake.
Commercial ice machines are the standalone units,ice Machines designed to produce large quantities of ice for various commercial purposes. Once installed, these commercial ice makers are pretty automatic and do not need much attention from you or your staff. These factory-made machines consist of a condensing unit and ice-making section that operates as an integrated unit to make ice, an ice bin or a storage unit to store the created ice and a dispensing unit to dispense the ice out of the machine. Many automatic ice machines use moving water to create an improved quality of ice cubes. They work on the principle of "faster the water moves the better the ice quality becomes". In this process, the air and un-dissolved solids get washed away. This results in pure and clear ice production.
Large amounts of ice are demanded for various purposes in many ice Machines commercial entities such as Restaurants, Bars, Ice Cream Parlors, Bakeries, Country Clubs and Golf Courses. A commercial ice machine is the perfect choice for such places as the large quantity of ice also needs to be a certain quality as well. Automatic commercial ice machines will make plenty of ice of equal size in a short span of time. All you need to do is just start the machine and set the required functions, and leave the rest up to the machine. You will get good quantity of quality ice in a short amount of time. In addition, many commercial ice machines come with a self cleaning function. This will help maintain the quality and quantity if the produced ice while decreasing the time that you and or your staff must spend with the machine.
Keep in mind that there are two varieties of ice machines: air cooled and waterice Machines cooled. Air cooled ice machines use air to disperse the heat, whereas water cooled ice machine uses water to do the same function. Air cooled ice machines use more energy and also are much noisier than water cooled ice machines. However, they are more affordable than water cooled ice machines.
An assorted collection of wonderful, fast and energy efficient commercial ice makers are readilyice Machines available in the market. Various renowned and reliable manufacturers have come up with their unique range of these amazing machines. Numerous models that create different types and sizes of ice are available in the local and online market. A competitive urge of creating more efficient and cost effective ice machines, has left the customers and consumers with a distinctive variety of these units in which to choose.

Former Tulelake city clerk charged with embezzlement
TULELAKE – Tulelake's former city clerk Kim Marie Keiser has been charged for allegedly embezzling over $10,000 in city funds, stated Tulelake Police Department (TPD) Chief Tony Ross.
Keiser, 43, had served as Tulelake's city clerk for approximately seven years.
According to online court documents, Keiser is charged with appropriating public money, creating false records in regards to public money and committing a crime in her capacity as a public officer.
The TPD began its investigation in May after Tulelake City Hall's accounting system was modernized and staff found discrepancies in city accounts.
It is alleged that over a seven month period, Keiser accepted cash payments from citizens for utility and other city fees that never made it to the bank and "manipulated accounts," said Ross. She was subsequently removed from her position as city clerk.
Following the TPD's investigation, the Siskiyou County District Attorney's Office filed charges against Keiser on Nov. 21 and sent her a notice to appear in court for her arraignment on Jan. 2. At her arraignment, Keiser entered a plea of "not guilty."
Siskiyou County Superior Court Judge Karen Dixon ordered Keiser to be booked and released from the Siskiyou County Jail.
Keiser is scheduled to reappear in court on Feb. 6 for further proceedings.
"The positive part of this case is that the city stepped up and spent a considerable amount of money to account for every penny of city funds," said Ross. "Staff is on their toes in regards to accounting."
He added that Tulelake City Hall no longer accepts cash payments for city bills and fees.

Jewelry is measured through a gauge system (conversion chart below). The higher the gauge number the smaller the wire is. For reference, a standard "earring" is usually 20 gauge. Jewelry gauges can vary between manufacturers. There is no universal regulation on companies to make a standard size in body jewelry. This is because some jewelry is made outside of the USA and measured in millimeters. And in the USA jewelry is measured in inches.

What an accomplishment this game is. Created with such a small team, the result is really amazing. The game oozes creative passion. While the gameplay is really well balanced, it is a tough cookie, very hard from time to time with its moments of sheer frustration. As of level 3, timing becomes key. You will need to practice and learn the levels to complete this game, there are so many bad guys on screen it sometimes gets a bit hard to take.

Graphically, it's also nice on the eyes with well-defined graphics and animation. You really get the feeling that the developers put some thought and love into the game. Remember what I said about the large levels? Well these are wonderful and are very different to each other, they also scroll fairly smooth in all four directions.

When you boot up the game you're presented with a fantastic loading picture of your ship. It's detailed with bold colours and it tells you This is 16-bit, bitch. Then you get the wonderful rendition of the Cybernoid theme that's on all the 8-bit versions. It's not exact but the changes still make it noticeable to anyone who knows it.

Disabled vet: Diner owner threw me, service dog out
Owner maintains he doesn't want dog in shop
James Glaser, of Gardnerville, Nev., brings his dog, Jack, everywhere.
Glaser needs him.
"At night when I start having night sweats and tremors and nightmares, he'll actually jump on top of me and wake me up and give me kisses and hugs," he told NewsCenter 5's Liam Martin on Monday.
Glaser suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder after two stints in Iraq with the Air Force.
Jack, a 3-year-old Jack Russell Terrier, is his service dog, trained and certified to help Glaser get through attacks. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, because Jack serves such a vital function, Glaser is supposed to be allowed to take him just about anywhere.
But when the two, along with Glaser's wife, walked into Oxford's Big I's Diner on Saturday morning, they were quickly shown the door.
"I hear, 'Get that (expletive) fake service dog out of here,'" Glaser recalled the owner, Russell Ireland, shouting at him.
Glaser argued with the owner and showed him Jack's certification papers -- to no avail.
"He says he doesn't give a righteous whatever, and him or I are not welcome back in his restaurant," Glaser said.
Even the Oxford police showed up and explained to Ireland that Jack is a service dog for a disabled veteran.
"I told him, as well as the other officer, that, 'We do believe you're wrong, that Mr. Glaser should be able to come in with his service dog,'" Sgt. Anthony Saad told NewsCenter 5 of his conversation Saturday morning with Ireland. "He still maintained his position."
Saad had to inform Glaser, his wife and Jack that the owner wanted them off the property.
Glaser hasn't forgotten. He sent a letter Monday to the ADA offices in Washington, D.C., asking them to look into the case and to fine Big I's for discrimination.
In the meantime, he's organizing a boycott of the restaurant.
"As far as I'm concerned, I don't want him to get a single cent from anybody in these United States," Glaser said.
Ireland talked with reporters outside Big I's Monday afternoon. He apologized to any veterans he offended.
"I have nothing against veterans at all. They're the backbone of the country. It's what makes us the United States," he said.
He also apologized to Glaser specifically, admitting he handled the situation poorly.
But he stopped short of saying he'd allow Glaser and Jack back in. Ireland said he had seen the two in the restaurant before, though he wasn't aware of Jack's status as a service dog, and felt it was bad business to have a dog in a restaurant.
"Do you need it to help you get to the bathroom? By all means. Do you need to cuddle it and sneak it a piece of sausage? No, I'd rather not have it in my place," he argued.
Big I's has received hundreds of threatening phone calls in the last two days, according to Ireland, including one in which the caller threatened to burn the building down with the workers inside.
Glaser, for his part, said any such threats are unacceptable.

Presenting the work of thirty artists from each state and territory, the triennial demonstrates the incredible range of contemporary Indigenous art practice. It is the largest survey show of Indigenous art at the Gallery in more than fifteen years, featuring up to four works by each artist created during the past three years in a variety of media, including painting on bark and canvas, sculpture, textiles, weaving, new media, photomedia, printmaking and installation. The works selected not only create an exhibition of outstanding quality but are also ultimately important acquisitions for the national collection.
Internationally, there has been incredible interest in contemporary Indigenous art from Australia, most notably with the prestigious Australian Indigenous Art Commission at the new Musée du quai Branly, Paris, in June 2006. And there can be no doubt that locally the launch of the triennial is well-timed. Not only does it open the day after the Gallery's twenty-fifth anniversary, it also coincides with the fortieth anniversary of the 1967 Referendum (Aboriginals), whereby non-Indigenous Australians (90.77%) voted overwhelmingly to include Indigenous Australians on the census as citizens, and the fiftieth anniversary of NAIDOC (National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee). These anniversaries are a major inspiration for the exhibition's thematic context.
To ensure that successive National Indigenous art triennials are as dynamic and as stimulating as possible the Gallery will invite an Indigenous guest curator to direct the exhibition's theme and content. The theme of the inaugural triennial is Culture Warriors and this year's guest curator is Brenda L Croft, Senior Curator, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art, National Gallery of Australia. The guest curator position provides an outstanding opportunity for Indigenous curators to develop skills and direct a major Australian art event.
The Gallery's development of an Indigenous art triennial is also in light of there being fewer high-profile opportunities to showcase Australia's leading contemporary artists, especially considering that some major forces in contemporary art such as the Moët et Chandon Fellowship and the Art Gallery of New South Wales's biennial, Australian Perspecta, have ceased. To date, the most widely acknowledged survey of contemporary Indigenous Australian art has been the highly popular annual Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award, held each August at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, Darwin. Although it is not a theme-based or curated show, the Telstra Award features the work of more than 100 artists. What defines the National Indigenous art triennial is that it is curated, themed, and by invitation; therefore it stands as an important counterpoint to existing annual, biennial and triennial visual arts events.

The Emerging Careers series at HLS will focus mainly, and not surprisingly, on career paths opening up in the digital realm of the library and information science field. It's true that our field continues to "emerge" most visibly there, while the death of print, and even of libraries themselves, continues to fascinate us. But let us not forget the ways that print can still be cutting-edge and community-based, AND offer librarians innovative ways to reach out to library users. I'm talking about zines, and the librarians who work with zines also know as, get this, zine librarians!
Because you're a cool library school student you probably already know all about zines, but here's a brief overview for those who may not be familiar with the subject. Zines are difficult to define because they're so all over the map, but generally they are self-published "little magazines" on any topic imaginable, or perhaps no decipherable topic at all. Generally, the zinester writes the content, creates the artwork, does the page layout, and physically puts all the parts together in the production of a zine. Photocopied, collaged, stapled or not, zines can be bare bones publications unedited and unvetted by any authority, however, they can also be highly polished art objects created by a group of collaborators. The content can be totally personal, known as a perzine, or mainly informational, like a vegan recipes zine, for example. Zines are often youth oriented, often highly politicized, and offering perspectives not usually seen in the mass media on issues around race, gender, sexuality. With roots in the Punk scene of the 1970s, zines tend to be edgy and uncensored. Yay!
But are people still making zines? It's true, zines had their heyday in the 80s and 90s. And blogging has provided a new platform for self-expression, but a blog and a zine are two different things. People are still attracted to the beauty of such an unwieldy thing as a zine. As digital information creation and sharing becomes ubiquitous, there is also a renewed interest in what we're leaving behind. Hello zine comeback! Even the most established of established publications, the New York Times, recognizes that zine culture is experiencing a resurgence.
So how does one prepare to become a zine librarian? The truth is you will probably not be lucky enough to land a paid position with the title of Zine Librarian, but you can make zines a part of your job. There probably won't be much discussion of zines in your MLIS program, but, of course, you can hack your program by doing a project on zines in a number of your classes. Most importantly, there is an online network of zine librarians sharing tips and information about zine librarianship that you can easily join.
Many unique problems arise when working with zines in a traditional library setting, so zine librarians have to be creative in their solutions. At the ALA 2012 Annual in Anaheim, I attended a Zines in Libraries pre-conference. The panel of zine librarians provided all the basics that a zine librarian would need to get started, and they even made a zine about it! They talked about how to pitch a zine collection to library administration providing no less than fourteen different good reasons, including "Both zines & libraries are reflections & creations of their communities." They also talked about the debates around how zines should be processed and if zines should be kept safe in the archives or made accessible in the circulating collection. Deciding how to catalog zines probably provides the most challenging aspect of working with zines in the library. Zines do not fit easily into the Dewey or LC classification schemes. And isn't that a good thing? Oh, and you can teach information literacy and do outreach with zines, too!
Zines allow librarians to break the rules, to create collections that won't be neat and tidy, but that will generate a lot of user interest. It probably helps a lot if you're already a zinester, but you don't have to be. You can learn the very basics of zine layout here, and there are lots of articles and books about zines out there. Basically, zines are hella fun, for both the library user and the zine librarian. Zines can provide a fascinatingly unique addition to a public or an academic library collection, and that's a fact. And, as someone at the pre-conference said, they can even be "life changing." Put Zine Librarian in your job description!
Extra Special Bonus Feature:
An interview with two real-life zine librarians: Jenna Freedman, Director of Research and Instruction at Barnard College, and Kelly McElroy, Undergraduate Services Librarian at the University of Iowa.
What led you to become a zine librarian?
Jenna: I proposed the zine collection to my boss a few months into my job as Coordinator of Reference Services at Barnard. She said yes, and I'm a zine librarian! As far as what led me to pitch the collection, I don't entirely remember, other than the fact that I was already interested in zines and Sandy Berman or Chris Dodge sent me an article about zine libraries.
Kelly: When I moved to Seattle after college, I stumbled onto the Zine Archive and Publishing Project. Volunteering there was part of what pushed me to go to library school. Since then, I have been lucky to work and volunteer in organizations with preexisting zine collections, or places where I've had the flexibility to incorporate zines into my tasks. But if I understand what you mean, I am a zine librarian because zines are an awesome form of publication, containing perspectives that might otherwise go unheard.
Were you a zinester before?
Jenna: Yes. I contributed to literary zines in the 1990s, and began my own in 2001. I wasn't quite all the way to zinester yet, when I pitched the zine collection in 2003, but by the time it was on the shelves in 2004, as my friend Celia put it, that's when my zine was all growed up. It's also when I started connecting with members of the zine community, other than librarians.
Kelly: No – my first real experiences with zines were in a library setting. Since then, I've made zines of my own, but I did not start out as a zinester.
Did anything you studied in library school prepare you for this work?
Jenna: I can't say that anything specific did, other than meeting Celia! But I don't want to say that library school didn't prepare me at all. How I envisioned building the collection has to be something of a reflection on what I learned there.
Kelly: I volunteered at ZAPP long before I went to library school. In my current position, my work with zines is generally through instruction, which I don't think is probably typical of zine librarians, if there's such a thing. If you're putting together (or maintaining) a zine collection, you'll have to be ready to deal with alllllll the nuts and bolts: acquiring and processing them, figuring out how to classify and catalogue them, and preserving them. Zines have their own quirks, but all this basic stuff still comes up.
Do you see a trend towards more zines in libraries?
Jenna: I know a lot of library workers are interested in zines, but I'm not sure if it's more than in the past. I've had library school students contacting me the whole time I've been working with zines. I think Julie Bartel comments in From A to Zine that she had LIS students contacting her all the time, too, and she started the collection at SLCPL about five years before I launched mine at Barnard.
Kelly: That's a good question, but I don't have a good answer. Things like the Zine Pavilion at ALA may suggest that, but more attention doesn't necessarily mean it is an upward trend all around.
What should librarians who want to work with zines do to prepare or become involved with this work?
Jenna: I could probably say a bunch of other things that have more to do with zines in particular, but I kind of think the most important qualities and skills I had were the idea, the ability to make it happen. I also think it's important to be at an institution where you can make the case for zines. I wouldn't have proposed the collection at Iona College, where I worked before Barnard. There, if I'd been inspired to launch a special collection, it might have been something to do with radical priests or Ireland. Or maybe I would have come up with something else to do at Iona that would have been special and fun and was organic to the institution. Although more libraries should have zine collections, especially if they're driven by a zine niche, or if they're in an area that isn't already served by a zine library, I'd like to see people start other creative collections and services. There also aren't enough baking pan, singles (records), T-shirt, religious tracts, and greeting card collections in the world.
Kelly: Many fantastic zine libraries have been started or maintained by people with no formal library training, just a love of zines and their communities and a dedication to preservation and access. So, anyone, librarian or not, who wants to work with zines should just go out and find likeminded folks: check out this list of zine libraries and infoshops from Zine World and stop by your local zine library to see how to contribute. You can also get involved with the Zine Libraries Interest Group. Honestly, I think an equally valid question would be: Do zines fit in the work I already do? Zines may fit into your reader's advisory or teen programs or _________. It doesn't have to be a separate thing.
Thank you, Jenna and Kelly!!

- If I have to run back, you should be running back too. Ressing lazy people after a wipe is a waste of time. Parallel execution, not serial.
- Please maintain Line-Of-Sight to the healer. Don't hide behind pillars. There's nothing more heart-stopping than seeing a player take a chunk of damage, going to heal them, and seeing an "Unable to cast" message.
- You know, DPS players really infuriate me when I heal.
- There's something about the duration of Beacon and Seals that bugs me. I have no problems keeping Sacred Shield up, but I struggle with Beacon and Seals. I think the time--1 to 2 minutes--is short enough that it has to be refreshed in-combat, but long enough that it falls outside my immediate horizon and thus I lose track of it.
- I'm still mulling over gemming Intellect vs Crit. The math generally points to Intellect, but it really depends on hitting Divine Plea every cooldown. While Crit doesn't require extra effort on my part, and is not that far behind.
- There was a real lack of blue plate gloves for both Ret and Holy. There isn't a single blue plate glove quest reward for Holy and only one for Ret. I wonder why gloves were overlooked. I'm very slowly working on my Frenzyheart rep to fix this.
- Working on rep was a lot easier as Retribution.
- Heh, I complain a lot about Holy, but I actually like healing. The level of control, of immediacy, of concentration is a lot of fun. I don't really feel like a separate member of the group, I feel like I am submerged in the group, or even that I am the group. Everywhere and nowhere.
What I don't like are DPS who are ... "inconsiderate", may be the best word. It can feel like they are actively working against the group, and that makes the experience extremely unpleasant. In contrast, competent considerate DPS are great to run with. In some ways the DPS have more of an effect on the healing experience than the tank does. I mean, the tank is going to take a beating, and take the majority of heals, and that is going to depend on her gear and skill. But that is expected. How the DPS acts is much more of a wild card, and really makes the difference between a pleasurable run and an unpleasant run.

More Thoughts On Healing
46 comments:
I think we need a set of minor glyphs for each of the seals, that increases that specific seal to 5 minutes duration. Or hell, even 3 minutes might be enough. 2 minutes is better than the old 30 seconds, but it's one more thing that tends to need to be re-cast a lot.ReplyDelete
The lack of healing plate gloves is probably because there's decent rep reward gloves, and there's always the brilliant saronite gauntlets (though the frenzyheart reward gauntlets are far better)

I ran into the worst kind of inconsiderate dpser the other day. He put out sub-1500 dps and ninja'ed the Christmas Hat. OMG. Ninja the Bronze Drake! I don't care. Ninja the Frozen Orb! Here, I'll give you another orb. But, please, don't ninja the Christmas Hat.ReplyDelete

PUG DPS is irritating, regardless of if I am tanking or healing these days. If I am tanking, there are those who just cannot focus-fire. If I am healing, there are those who just take craploads of damage because they just blindly whack on things.ReplyDelete
The latest irritating adventure was with a below 1k DPS fury warrior (I wish I was kidding) who kept spamming his meters over and over again. Regardless of him being drop dead last!

Healing is stressful and can make you upset pretty fast. It is worth it to me because I am addicted to the "control" you speak of...

Thanks for this post, it gave an idea about a post of mine.ReplyDelete
One tip about the beacon and such: you most probably have deadly boss mods. Replace the beacon with the following macro:
/cast beacon of light
/dbm timer 1:50 Beacon
this will create a similar bar like "next air phase" on Sapphiron, with 1:50 duration and "Beacon" text. You can always see how much left of your beacon.

Were u my healer in a keep run tonite? - Cause our healer told us off about the Los and the pillars tonite,ReplyDelete
and I only copped damage because silly me shadow word deathed myself for 5k right before the end of phase 1 - but point taken :P
I often find its the tank that doesnt run back, and as a Nightelf with my speed increase on death effect I beat most of the rest back and am the one who rezzes them :(
My pet peeve is people who don't run back after a wipe. On my hunter when I see people do it I write "it is considerate of the healer to release after a wipe" it takes more time to rez then drink then buff then drink than if everyone just released.ReplyDelete
I also can't stand people who won't bandage or eat while I'm drinking between pulls.
Come on a little help here.
However regardless, when I tank I hate people even more (not in wow but have tanked in other games). I hate tanking so much, because it seems like every other player out there is just trying to make things harder for me :) So I don't have any tanks in wow, just healers and dps.
I'm collecting a healing set (currently ret) and have yet to make the leap to holy since I've still got so many quests left to do but I do like reading about your experiences so far.ReplyDelete
What kind of dps are you putting out when you are questing/doing dailys?
- Anonymous6:27 AM, December 30, 2008
I'm surprised you're getting mad at DPS these days. I'm wondering if your tanks aren't AOE tanking enough, in which case having an issue with focus firing is irrelevant.ReplyDelete
I try to avoid PUGs like the plague, but sometimes they're necessary. I've been running into a LOT of crappy tanks (a lot of them DKs, but tanks of all 4 classes).
Heroics are so easy these days, if you can't AOE tank and DPS the entire instance, then you suck. I can't even remember the last time I sheeped something, I took it off my bar!
Oh, and I do usually run back. Unless the bad healer caused the wipe (for instance, I watch the tank's health go from 100% to %50 to %35 to %15 to dead over 8 seconds and never see a heal thrown). In that case, I wait for the rez.
I think the whole thing about DPS needing a summon is either very anecdotal or, well, indicative of the fact that 60% of the group is dps!ReplyDelete
But that said, from my minor healing experience in WotLK, and thinking back to TBC/PreTBC, I must say that LOSing is definately the big killer here for me. I don't care if DPS is trigger happy, because I'm in the "just let them die then" camp, but LOS'ing and whining, argh.
My roomie is a healer. I'm a dps nut now. Sure, as a hunter I have quite a few tools to reposition and dump aggro, but unless the tank is stellar, you can bet your arse my priest buddy will get a few new grey hairs. So.. sorry, healers, it's not my fault, it's the meters! Start linking meters and my brain shuts off.
Well yeah, as Grim said, quite a few new grey hairs. But I spent some time being his healer when he still was a tank, so I'm sure I've done the same to him.ReplyDelete
Anyway: yeah. LoS'ing. I HATE it. I've lost count of how many times I've wanted to leave a 5-man, or even a raid, because some nutter (and why are they almost always rogues, in my experience?) runs off into the horizon to hide when he needs a heal? Gah!
Fortunately I've engrained in everyone in my guild the need to all run back.ReplyDelete
As for the LoS thing, speaking as a healer for the first 60 levels (back when the cap was 60 levels,) I've found that LoS is a healer problem 90% of the time. Especially if the LoS is on the tank. As for DPS, they could bandage themselves every once in a while. I remember when that used to be a more common occurance. I still pop out of cat form and heal myself when I think the healer could use a hand.
Go to Heroic Nexxus and pick these up.ReplyDelete
I've run H nexxus 6-7 times and it's dropped every single time.
- Anonymous7:39 AM, December 30, 2008
yeah they really need to increase the duration on beacon. Hell, I don't see why it needs a timer at all. It should be a permanent buff much like an aura. I understand they wanted to put a mana sink in for paladins, but why not just increase the cost of the heals slightly?ReplyDelete
- Anonymous7:45 AM, December 30, 2008
Totally agree on the seals dropping off part. I found it annoying even as ret while I was levling, same with Beacon and Sacred Shield (and to a lesser extent JotP) now at 80 as holy.ReplyDelete
My solution is an extra buff frame, using SatrinaBuffFrames, for the seal (and some other short buffs, like Light's Grace and JotP) and corner indicators in Grid for SS and Beacon.
the yellow corner is BoL and the white/grey one is SS
1.) Level 80 Holy Plate gloves:ReplyDelete
Usually available for 30-50 gold. Much easier than an 8 week rep-grind.
2.) Agreed on the beacon/seal duration 'issue'. I like the durations from a game-balance standpoint, but it's hard given my actual attention span. Get class-timers or use one of the other solutions suggested here.

A careless DPSer can be just as frustrating to conscientious DPSers as to healers and tanks.ReplyDelete

The refusing to release and run back has always been a pet peeeve of mine. Not on pugs as much (I really don't pug much, if I can't get a guild group I quest/farm) but on GUILD runs. I had a druid healer who refused to release in ZA, and after wipe #4 on Malacrass, (one wipe caused by me getting a hair close and pulling as I was trying to rez the lazy ass) I got back to the group, started eating buff food and mana biscuits and did /afk. Came back 3 minutes later to see im STILL waiting for a rez, and the group gave him so much shit about it, it never happened again. To me, it's being inconsiderate more than anything and I see the *younger* set having a lot more trouble with it than adults who play the game. Great post!ReplyDelete

All you complaining about sub 1500 dps. Well I have to say I'm in a pretty good guild on my server. We cleared all but Malygos 10/25.ReplyDelete
So I'm geared as a Death Knight for tanking and dps. However, I was tanking at this point in time. We decided to do heroic AN, the healer was weak, we had 2 warlocks one was at like 1700 dps throughout the instance. The other was at <600.
Less then 600 dps. How is that possible at level 80. I can't even fathom how you do under 600 dps.
It really makes tanks mad too when paladins just try to heal them with flash of light throughout the majority of an instance.
I know how you feel. I have leveling my Druid for healing first because it is much more convinient to throw a hot on some DPS and continue healing the tank. My Paladin was formerly Holy, but is going to Ret this expansion.ReplyDelete

@ felfireReplyDelete
If a mage is pulling aggro these days, then your tank is terribad. Almost every Heroic and Naxx pull is AOE these days, and if Blizzard/Flamestrike/Arcane Explosion is pulling aggro, either the tank isn't using the correct abilities, or they're spec'd incorrectly or just plain bad.
- Anonymous10:09 AM, December 30, 2008
Further, if after an iceblock the Warlock is the next aggro target, that's even MORE proof that the tank is bad. How are both the Mage and the Warlock above the tank's threat?ReplyDelete
Answer: The tank is bad. Period.
Well, 600 dps at 80 isn't great, but you need to consider the context. Is it the full instance including trash? Affliction/Demo locks do alot of DOTs, if you are single pulling then I am guessing this about what I would get at 80 in that spec. If you are AOEing, then it should be higher, probably 1000.ReplyDelete
My pet peeves? Don't show up to a heroic with <1000 dps. The group won't have enough slack to carry you through it.
If you have gone through the instance but nobody else has, explain the fights! A sentence is all it takes, or a few words on vent. The group as a whole needs to make sure everyone is on the same page.
I (healer) did HOL for the first time last week, mentioned i didn't know it to the tank. We proceeded to wipe on the first boss 3-4 times before the tank mentioned that it was exactly like the first boss in ramps. Meanwhile the dps took off for greener pastures and we had to rebuild the group (after that explanation we one-shotted everything else).
I realize I should have looked up the instance, but I dont think it would be too much to ask to say a few words over vent or type a sentence in chat.
- Anonymous11:38 AM, December 30, 2008
I really liked every one of your points. After playing as a warlock since the game came out I switched to a shaman (healer) at the end of TBC. I was basically tired of waiting in LFG channel. Turns out that I love this more (same as you last point in the list) than dpsing. At that time I didn't have too many complaints since the majority of the people I was playing with were WAY better geared than the stuff we were doing (KZ, ZA, Heroics). But its has been very different in Wrath since every one was leveling and gearing.ReplyDelete
The DPS should roll a healer (or at least a tank), so they can see that there is more to this game than banging their heads against the keyboard to hit 1 or 2 keys.
The other day blue posted the following, which I think captures the essence of many of the DPSers out there:
It's Never The DPS' Fault!
It is never the fault of the DPS. If they couldn't beat the enrage timer, it's because the tank didn't generate threat quickly enough. It's because they had to run out of the fire because your spellpower was too low to heal them through it. It's because you wouldn't let them Whirlwind or Volley or Arcane Explosion because you had to Shackle the bad man.
Pick your analogy. The DPS player is the quarterback, the soprano, the lead singer. ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: AWESOME! BECUZ U R!
As a tank who recently had threat issues I feel the need to respond to the mage and warlock pulling aggro is a sign the tank is bad comment.ReplyDelete
I walked out of a nexus run the other day. The mage and hunter were constantly pulling aggro. How? Easy, they didn't wait for me to hit the mob.
I throw my shield and los them back and the mage cuts loose on one before it reaches me and the rogue runs forward and attacks a different one.
The mage goes "Oh no! and ice blocks just as I used my taunt on the mage and the priest's heal lands. Then the rogue vanishes.
Now two things are on the priest and my taunt is down. We lived. The priest faded and I was able to gather them up.
But every single pull was like this. I set the kill order, marked the mobs, pulled them so that no one had to worry about patrols or getting punted or just not paying attention and pulling.
But focus fire was too difficult a concept. Waiting for me to hit the mob was to difficult a concept.
I'm sure they thought I was a terrible tank, but there is only so much one person can do to carry a group of people like that.

I think you're probably one of those evil DPS Rohan is talking about. Not everything is AOE, that line of thinking is part of the reason why there is a shortage of tanks/healers.
Some groups just don't aoe. Some groups with say 1 aoe class may not be able to do enough damage to kill everything before being overwhelmed.
I was in a group of pally tank and 3 rogues and priest healer for H UK, and initially everyone was in the mindset of no CC and "AOE", but after the first couple of pulls, Saps were used and we finished just as fast and just as smooth.
Also sometimes tanks that are starting, can't handle AOE, not because they have bad skills, it's just their equipment don't allow them to do it, and in this case that is NOT a bad tank, it's bad thinking scapegoating the poor tank.
Look at the situation, not everything is just mindless AOE.
- Anonymous4:37 PM, December 30, 2008
That is why I always use, as a rogue, Trick of the Trades on the tank followed by a Fan of Knives on each multi-pull (and sometimes a Blade Flurry Killing Spree).
It is sad that misdirect abilities are invisible. When I pug hunters or rogues, I have no way to know if they Misdirect as soon as they can or if another rogues does the Trick of the Trades. As a side note, many humanoids and bosses (Skadi among others) can be Dismantled (and/or Disarmed), why doesn't it happen more often?
Now I had times when I tricked the tank and still pulled aggro later on said mob...

Woah you get a lot of comments... Everytime I want to say something someone else has already beaten me to it! =)ReplyDelete
I second the comment about the Web Winder Gloves. Thats the ones I use and have had them for some time. I replaced the Patina chest within a day T_T and spent much more on it. I think I got the gloves relatively cheap.
Its refreshing to read another person fed up with careless DPS. I had a bad Heroic night last night and actually got a bit pissy with my guildies. They know its not always that easy on me being a pally healer, yet they want to make my job even harder?
My main gripe about healing is that careless players will spoil your enjoyment in a run. Warlocks Lifetapping between pulls instead of Drinking was a big one for me in BC, so much that I wouldnt even heal them. Not to mention Shadow Priests who don't use VE, but insist on using SW:Death every cooldown.
Being a healer can be fun and it is exciting, but more often than not its a thankless job =/

I think Chris summons up what is wrong with DPS these days better than I could have said it myself. Everything is AoE, nothing is CC, focus fire lolwut? And of course, if you pull aggro, it's because the tank is terribad. Not because you're ignoring the threat meter because you can iceblock anyway, picking your own individual kill order, going nuts before the tank has touched the adds etc.ReplyDelete
The release of Wrath and the changes leading up to it shifted instance runs from a set of group responsibilities to where the majority of it falls on the healer's ability to keep up with the incoming damage, and the threat building the tank can do.
I run things in all three roles, although mostly healing and tanking, and have seen some really bad examples of each. But the one deciding factor that makes or breaks the experience for me is the quality of the damage dealers; some common sense, situational awareness, the ability to understand and act on the specifics of an encounter in a timely manner etc.
Focus fire remains important, even with AoE tanking as it is now. Makes life easier on the healer because the incoming damage on the tank tends to drop a lot quicker, or because there's less AoE damage from the mobs. Makes life easier on the tank because they're not chasing mobs, have less adds spawning etc. And threat won't be an issue.
Just requires that little bit of responsibility and awareness of your DPS role as part of a team.
- Anonymous3:14 AM, December 31, 2008
As far as DK tanking goes, understand that our AoE threat abilities are on a cooldown, even talented, and/or depend on the spread of diseases. The latter requires a few seconds to build, as well as a mob in melee range. Unholy tanks have their desecrate ground effect, but even then the point is still valid.ReplyDelete
It's also a new class, unique in the sense that all three talent trees are supposed to be viable as tanks. This means a multitude of different specializations and the possibilities and limitations that go with that; one might tank like a paladin, the other more like a warrior or a bear.
Give it some time; people are learning the specifics, specs and abilities are still changing. Gearing up for crit immunity is also a bit more of a challenge at the moment for most, although the next patch seems to fix a lot of that.

* Why am I always the first one at the instance? Why does it always seem to be the DPS who need summons?ReplyDelete
- then stop summoning. I originally dutifully travelled to the meeting stone every run then I kinda got fed up. Now I regard being in a group as a sign I should be at least ready to accept a summons but no more than that. Sometimes I'll go summon if I'm close or if nothing solo draws me. I'll always try to support anyone who is politely asking for people to move but the guy at the Auction House asking summ???? can sit there all day before I move
* Why do DPS players think that that sub-1500 DPS is acceptable?
- because it is. I've completed many instances where 3 dps have all been around 1000 dps and we've got through with no wipes and no drama. I'm saying this as a healer, you don't need high dps to complete heroics.
* Also, if you aren't over 2K, STFU about damage meters .
If you get annoyed then start playing games with them. Let them die when they rip aggro. Bop melee dps (their damage goes to zero until they figure out what's happened and click the bop off). Salv the tank. DI the tank. When people complain state that you'll start playing properly if they do, ie not meter whoring and nuking the wrong target.
* If I have to run back, you should be running back too. Ressing lazy people after a wipe is a waste of time. Parallel execution, not serial.
- there's no great answer to this. Replacing them works but wastes 20 mins. Refusing to ress never works. They won't change and it just turns the group to crap for the other 3 players. If you have tank/dps who can ress then next time you wipe say "ress plz" before anyone else and watch tv or read while they run back to ress you.
* Please maintain Line-Of-Sight to the healer. Don't hide behind pillars. There's nothing more heart-stopping than seeing a player take a chunk of damage, going to heal them, and seeing an "Unable to cast" message.
- I actually don't agree with this. We have instants, we can move. On certain fights like HoL 3rd boss you can be cut off from injured dps by spiders but even there you can often keep them up (BoL tank, run back quick and DF HS the LOSer). But everyone has their playstyle and if it annoys you to heal los-ers just don't sweat it when they die. If they whine just tell them you were Los-ed
* You know, DPS players really infuriate me when I heal.
- Then go back to Ret. Sure, you instance less but questing and pvp are more fun and at least when you instance you are doing what you enjoy. I heal because I prefer healing (I actually retired a Mage to make Paladin healer my main)
* There's something about the duration of Beacon and Seals that bugs me.
- Familiarity completely solves this, possibly interface too. I use Healbot and I can always see if BoL and SS are up because they show up on the life bars. I notice Seals because I Judge a lot.
* I'm still mulling over gemming Intellect vs Crit.
- doesn't really matter. For a long answer check my post in the paladin forums of Plusheal but having two good options for yellow (3 if you count Haste) isn't a disadvantage. Just wish one of them were Blue ^^
* There was a real lack of blue plate gloves for both Ret and Holy.
- no need to grind rep, just wear non-plate. The pvp healer gloves are very good btw since they have +2% FoL crit
* Working on rep was a lot easier as Retribution.
- that's arguable. I have instance invites coming out of my ears now. If I randomly join lfg and put Healer in comments I get an inv within 2 minutes. Most of the juicy rep rewards are from the reps you progress in Heroics
* Heh, I complain a lot about Holy, but I actually like healing.
- yup, me too
What I don't like are DPS who are ... "inconsiderate", may be the best word.
- It goes with pugging and even with running guild groups. The Greedy Goblin has posted an excellent response to this post over on his site. Basically he explains it's just self-interest - the dpsers can get what they want from joining your group and have no motivation to behave themselves if messing around is more fun
Try an addon like Karma to collect good players you enjoy playing with. Form groups yourself and select the players. Interview them or Armory them to see if they are idiots (asking them if about their raid experiences gives you a great insight into randoms). Choose players by doing /who [good raid guild] then /w members of that guild
I love healing and I love pugging. Hope your experiences become more enjoyable soon!
Happy New Year!
I cannot agree with you more. More often than not, it's the DPS that make and break what would have been a good run. Only in rare cases does an incompetent tank bring the whole group down. I suppose it's because a good healer can keep the tank going as long as DPS is decent (I'm talking >1700 at least). As a former Mage switching to a Holy paladin, the shift from dps to healing is a whole new paradigm. I guess DPS just don't see things the same as we do.ReplyDelete
For the record, regarding bandages, I used to be their biggest proponent.ReplyDelete
Back in vanilla, DPS was expected to use a bandage after certain boss abilities. You burnt though them so very fast.
In BC, good (considerate?) DPS were always using bandages if there was heavy healing pressure, and they could catch a breath. It wasn't gamebreaking, but it helped.
In Wrath, I've stopped bubble-bandaging. The lad fact of the matter is, I'm better of FoLing myself twice (as ret), then hitting them a couple of times.
Bandages have not scaled, and that has hurt their use and usefulness.

So much qq...so much qq...ReplyDelete
You should never feel any personal feelings when people die. Especially when they die because of their own actions.
Part of being a good player no matter your role is being aware of your surroundings. Putting out sub 2k dps shows you arent a good player.
Even if you do pug alot....you will find out who is and or isnt a good player. From this you can always make groups to do things. Especially if you are a healer or tank, and pretty dang solid...you can have a group that wants you all the time
- Anonymous11:03 PM, January 04, 2009
A dps who has never been a healer or tank will always be a risk. And that follows for all the roles - you need to have actually done all three modes to appreciate the needs of each (tank, dps, heal).ReplyDelete
It also follows for classes, but to a much lesser extent. Show me a great healer and I bet they have been a tank and a dps at some stage - because its about the player. Good ones try their hand at everything, bad ones will just use the default rotation on EJ Forums.

I had a party fall apart on me on this exact issue.
The farcical thing about it was that this occured on the first trash mobs of the Nexus, where the res point is some 10 seconds from the entrance (tank? What tank?).
A dps refused to corpse run, and I refused to res them, seeing as we were so close to the entrance.
The dps quit the party rather than press the res button (and so had to corpse run after all - logic?).
I then got a load of abuse from another player in the group; it was all my fault they left, and why was I such a ****?
- Anonymous6:32 AM, January 05, 2009
Why do people refuse to run back after a wipe? In a 25 man run if I were the only healer to run back, mana up, rez the healers, mana up, rez a few more, and then mana up again...? What if I didn't have mage food which has happened to me several times?ReplyDelete
Then there are those that after a rez who don't have food to heal back up or at least refuse to eat. I then have to heal them. What makes them so special that they don't have to use their food, but I have to use mine? Sure it's a few measly silver, but is it fair?

When I see a healer saying stuff like that I die a little in side. Its YOUR job to be on los of your group. Yes I admit that once in a while it is impossible to follow someone around and keep them up, but 99.999% of the time in PVE its YOUR job to stay in los of them and keep them topped. FOL Glyph really comes in handy here-- oh wait you don't use FOL.
Heh, Reclaimed, you're not going to be happy when 3.0.8 hits.ReplyDelete
Though you might be right about the FoL glyph. My old issue with the FoL glyph was that I used to spam FoL a lot, and that style is a poor fit for the glyph. Now with HL being used a lot more for tank healing, using glyphed-FoL for healing the rest of the group might be interesting.
It might depend on how glyphed-FoL interacts with Beacon of Light, I think. The last time I checked in Beta, the HoT portion didn't get copied by Beacon.
Regardless, it's a moot point with 3.0.8.
As for LoS, I think that the healer should maintain LoS on the tank and be somewhat central to make it easy for the DPS. But I don't think it's the healer's responsibility to chase down DPS that run off to odd positions.

So much to comment on!ReplyDelete
First, I am one of those DPSers (a rogue) who is somewhere between completely awful (<2K) or perfectly acceptable (>1K). I haven't done any raids yet, but for for normal or heroic runs, my 1300-1500 seems to be enough.
Running back. I will usually wait until the healer dies before releasing. I have been yelled at for releasing too soon (when someone could self rez) and then making the group wait while I do a long run. I (stupidly) died on the first boss in HoL and was able to run back and get back in the fight since the graveyard is so close.
Note to healers: if I die, I am going to eat one of the buf foods anyway so you really don't need to heal me (unless it was a battle rez of course). I mean, thanks and all, but save your mana.

A old farmer sacrifices his rice crop to save his neighbors from a monster wave
Tsunami! By Kimiko Kajikawa. Illustrated by Ed Young. Adapted from Lafcadio Hearn's story, "A Living God." Philomel, 32 pp., $16.99. Ages: See discussion below.
By Janice Harayda
When I was a teenager, I had a summer job with a federal anti-poverty program that once took a group of children on a day trip to Point Pleasant Beach in southern New Jersey. Some of our young charges had never seen the ocean and were terrified by it. I looked after a boy of eight or nine who was so afraid of the water that he would go near it only when I carried him into it.
Since then, I've often seen similar scenes at Jersey Shore and elsewhere. Some children are so afraid of the ocean that you see them crying at the water's edge even when their parents are holding onto them tightly.
So I can't figure out what the Philomel editors were thinking when they recommended Tsunami! for ages 3–5 on their Web site. Older children might love Caldecott medalist Ed Young's dramatic mixed-media cover image of a wave powerful enough to sweep up a Japanese temple gate. But if they're old enough not to be frightened by it, wouldn't they be too old for a picture book?
As for those 3-to-5 year olds: You wonder about the effect of book that describes not just a monster wave but the destruction of a village and the burning of a rice field, shown on two-page spreads with flames leaping across the gutters as a child screams. Young knows how to evoke devastation without needless gore, and throughout the book he does with it vibrant collage-like images that, unlike his more realistic cover picture, have an abstract-expressionist spirit. He suggests – instead of showing in bloody detail – the power of a monster wave.
Even so, Tsunami! is an odd book. Kimiko Kajikawa tells a dramatic story in this adaptation of a 19th-century tale about an old rice farmer who saves the lives of 400 people in his Japanese village. One autumn day, Ojiisan thinks that something doesn't feel right, so he stays in his mountaintop cottage with his grandson when everybody else goes to a harvest celebration at a low-lying temple court. His instincts prove correct when the sea turns dark and begins to run away from the land. When he can't get the attention of villagers who are in danger, Ojiisan sets fire to his rice field, anticipating – correctly — that they will see the flames and rush up the mountain to help put them out. I enjoyed reading this story, and it develops the worthy themes that people are more important than possessions and exceptional events call for exceptional sacrifices. But after living with this book for nearly two weeks, I'm still not sure who it's for.
Best line/picture: A two-page spread of the rice harvest festival makes lovely use of framing, showing the celebration partly through a temple gate.
Worst line/picture: The picture that goes with "Finally, the sea returned to its ancient bed" is more abstract that than the others and doesn't convey its meaning as clearly.
Furthermore: Young won the Caldecott Medal for Lon Po Po: A Red-Riding Hood Tale from China.

No full talks in NHL labor fight
NEW YORK (AP) ? Any momentum gained from a long night of negotiations between the NHL and the players' association seemed to have been lost Thursday when the sides remained mostly apart.
A meeting that Commissioner Gary Bettman said would begin at 10 a.m. EST didn't start until several hours later, and then ended quickly.
That one hour of talks centered on the reporting of hockey-related revenues by teams, and both sides signing off on the figures at the end of the fiscal year. The problem was resolved.
An NHL spokesman announced shortly before 9 p.m. that federal mediator Scot Beckenbaugh was still working with the sides, but they would not get back to the bargaining table before Friday morning.
The players' association didn't immediately comment.
The key issues that are still threatening the hockey season weren't addressed early in the day, but a small group of players and other union staff returned to the NHL office shortly before 6 p.m., to hold another meeting regarding the contentious pension plan. That wrapped up about two hours later.
Union head Donald Fehr didn't take part in either of the two sessions Thursday.
The players' association held a conference call at 5 p.m. to discuss starting another vote among union membership that would give the executive board the power to invoke a disclaimer of interest and dissolve the union.
Members gave overwhelmingly approval last month, but the union declined to disclaim before a self-imposed deadline Wednesday night. It wasn't immediately known when a new authorization would expire. Players are expected to have 48 hours to vote, as opposed to the five days they were given the first time.
With the lockout in its 110th day, both sides understand the urgency to save a shortened season. They have several key issues to work out ? pensions and salary cap limits, among them.
Bettman has said a deal needs to be in place by next week so a 48-game season can begin Jan. 19. All games through Jan. 14 along with the All-Star game have been canceled, claiming more than 50 percent of the original schedule.
The sides met in small groups throughout the day Wednesday. They held a full bargaining session with a federal mediator at night that lasted nearly five hours and ended about 1 a.m. Thursday.
The biggest detail to emerge was that Fehr remained as union executive director after players passed on their first chance to declare a disclaimer that would turn the union into a trade association. The disclaimer would allow individual players to file antitrust lawsuits against the NHL.
Fehr wouldn't address the issue Wednesday, calling it an "internal matter," but added that the players were keeping all options open.
"The word disclaimer has yet to be uttered to us by the players' association," Bettman said Wednesday. "It's not that it gets filed anywhere with a court or the NLRB. When you disclaim interest as a union, you notify the other side. We have not been notified and it's never been discussed, so there has been no disclaimer."
It was believed the union wouldn't take action Wednesday if it saw progress being made. Neither side would characterize the talks or say if there was any movement toward common ground.
"There's been some progress but we're still apart on a number of issues," Bettman said. "As long as the process continues I am hopeful."
In a related move, the NHLPA filed a motion in federal court in New York on Thursday seeking to dismiss the league's suit to have the lockout declared legal. The NHL sued the union in mid-December, figuring the players were about to submit their own complaint against the league and possibly break up their union to gain an upper hand.
But the union argued that the NHL is using this suit "to force the players to remain in a union. Not only is it virtually unheard of for an employer to insist on the unionization of its employees, it is also directly contradicted by the rights guaranteed to employees under ... the National Labor Relations Act."
The court scheduled a status conference for the sides on Monday morning.
That still gives them time to get back to the table to try to reach a deal. There won't be one, however, if they don't resolve the differences regarding the players' pension.
Bettman called the pension plan a "very complicated issue."
"The number of variables and the number of issues that have to be addressed by people who carry the title actuary or pension lawyer are pretty numerous and it's pretty easy to get off track," Bettman said. "That is something we understand is important to the players."
The union's proposal Wednesday makes four offers between the sides since the NHL restarted negotiations Thursday with a proposal. The league presented the players with a counteroffer Tuesday night in response to one the union made Monday.
Fehr believed an agreement on a players-funded pension had been reached before talks blew up in early December. That apparently wasn't the case, or the NHL has changed its offer regarding the pension in exchange for agreeing to other things the union wanted.
The salary-cap number for the second year of the deal ? the 2013-14 season ? hasn't been established, and it is another point of contention. The league is pushing for a $60 million cap, while the union wants it to be $65 million.
In return for the higher cap number players would be willing to forgo a cap on escrow.
"We talk about lots of things and we even had some philosophical discussions about why particular issues were important to each of us," Bettman said. "That is part of the process."
The NHL proposed in its first offer Thursday that pension contributions come out of the players' share of revenues, and $50 million of the league's make-whole payment of $300 million will be allocated and set aside to fund potential underfunding liabilities of the plan at the end of the collective bargaining agreement.
Last month, the NHL agreed to raise its make-whole offer of deferred payments from $211 million to $300 million as part of a proposed package that required the union to agree on three nonnegotiable points. Instead, the union accepted the raise in funds, but then made counterproposals on the issues the league stated had no wiggle room.
"As you might expect, the differences between us relate to the core economic issues which don't involve the share," Fehr said of hockey-related revenue, which likely will be split 50-50.
The NHL is the only North American professional sports league to cancel a season because of a labor dispute, losing the 2004-05 campaign to a lockout. A 48-game season was played in 1995 after a lockout stretched into January.

Excellent driver, showed us everything around Rishikesh. We had a great time in Shivpuri. The cab was neat and clean. 5 stars for everything. Booking for 2 more trips right now.
The Wiwigo team was quick to understand our needs and very welcoming. They arranged to pick us up early in the morning and showed us around the city. The overall experience was great. Will definitely use them again on my next trip to India.
Great service and driver. Same cab arrived as seen in the picture. Very pleased- will use again.
Very professional and transparent in their dealings- cab was immaculate and driver was great. I had a great trip to Agra. Next year, I would use Wiwigo again when I come back again. This time I would like to visit Jaipur.

The combination of asparagus and mushrooms is one of my favorites. Their flavors and textures seem to work so well together. I like to sauté them together and mix with cooked pasta, grated Parmesan cheese and good olive oil, or serve with polenta.
But when I saw these wonderful King Oyster mushrooms at the store, I thought it would be a shame to just chop them, so I've decided to use their unique shape with whole asparagus in this tart, which is very quick and easy to assemble and is just perfect for brunch.
As is the case with most dishes that contain a few ingredients and do not rely on cooking expertise, the result depends heavily on the quality of the ingredients.
Make sure to start with good quality puff pastry (preferably homemade with butter (also available online), or at the very least one that is made with non hydrogenated oil), add to it fresh Asparagus, mushrooms and goat cheese, and your dish will be a hit.
Makes: 6
Prep time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
4-5 each (6 oz, 170 grams) King Oyster mushrooms
3 Tbs olive oil
Salt to taste
Freshly ground 4 pepper mix
1 bunch (1 lb, 450 grams)) Asparagus
¼ cup water
1 lbs (455 grams) good quality puff pastry sheet (10"x15", 25cmx38 cm)
6 thin slices (about 3 oz, 90 grams) Swiss cheese
4 oz (115 grams) fresh garlic and herbs goat cheese
1 Tbs chopped red jalapeno pepper
1. Preheat the oven to 420F (215C).
2. Cut the mushrooms in half, lengthwise. Cut each half, lengthwise, into 2-3 sections. Heat 1 Tbs of the olive oil in a pan on medium heat, and add the cut mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and fry gently on all sides for 1-2 minutes. Take off the heat and bring to room temperature.
3. Cut off about 1" (2.5cm) of the asparagus ends and place in a large pan, in one layer. Add the water and sprinkle with salt. Cover the pan and bring to a boil on high heat. Lower the heat to medium and let steam for 1-2 minutes, until the asparagus is bright green, tender but still firm. Place on paper towels and bring to room temperature.
4. Line a 12"x8" (20cm x 30cm) baking pan with the rolled dough, pressing the edges of the dough to the sides of the pan, to create a rim. Prick the dough all over with a fork.
5. Layer the Swiss cheese slices over the dough and add the asparagus and the mushrooms. Crumble the goat cheese on top. Scatter the red jalapeno, drizzle 1 Tbs olive oil and sprinkle with a bit more salt and pepper.
6. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the dough is puffed and golden, starting in the lower part of the oven for the first 10 minutes and finishing in the upper part of the oven.
7. Take out of the oven and let rest in the pan for 2-3 minutes, before carefully transferring to a large cutting board. Portion with a large, sharp knife, drizzle the remaining 1 Tbs olive oil on top and serve.

Steve Shipuleski doesn't let use of 1 arm stop him from playing golf
Man rarely misses despite inability to use left arm
Steve Shipuleski was born without the use of his left arm. However, he hasn't let that stop him from playing golf.
Shipuleski said not only can he not use his arm, but the entire left side of his body is weak. His left foot and toes do not move and, despite multiple surgeries, his left arm still can't be used.
In 1996, Shipuleski was at a charity golf tournament when he just started hitting golf balls at the driving range. From then on, it has been his obsession.
Shipuleski, whose home course is Eastpointe Golf and Racquet Club in Palm Beach Gardens, only uses his right arm to play golf, but he can make every shot on the course without a problem.
In fact, he said that he shoots in the 70s regularly.
Shipuleski does not see his physical limitations as limitations at all.
"I don't consider mine as a disability," he told WPBF 25 News. "I have no idea what the difference would be. How can you miss something you never had?"
Shipuleski has very high long-term goals for himself. He is 43 years old and wants to qualify for the PGA Senior Tour by the time he is 50.

I haven't had many tuits to work on Perl 6 lately — except this week I needed to have three pages of transposed single-line sheet music ready to go for tonight's rehearsal. The ABC module (particularly the abc2ly.pl script to convert ABC to Lilypond) was the obvious choice to use. However, to make it work well, I needed to add ties, slurs, multi-measure rests, fermatas, and text messages, as well as fixing the key change and meter change code. While I was at it, I went ahead and got all the tests passing again under Rakudo (version 2012.02-173-gb13c517, the latest won't build on my Mac) and for the first time, Niecza (latest source from github only, I actually added a small patch in the process).
It feels so good to have this working under both compilers!
