Almost one full year has passed — 364 days to be exact — since the Bismarck-Henning Blue Devils were on the verge of making history.
All they had to do was prevent the Marshall Lions from going 59 yards in 17 seconds, and they would not only secure their first 10-win season in school history, but also advance to the state quarterfinals, something no other Bismarck-Henning football team had done.
It didn't happen.
As much as the Blue Devils would sometimes like to forget the disheartening loss, they have been reminded of the day constantly throughout the 2012 season. But for good reason.
Game-by-game, goal-by-goal, the Blue Devils have remained focused, reaching milestones that at times seemed improbable, but in reality, they were just seconds from achieving last year.
Following an undefeated regular season, Bismarck-Henning earned its record-setting 10th win against Georgetown-Ridge Farm/Chrisman in last week's Class 2A opening-round playoff game. Today at 2 p.m., a win over the DuQuoin Indians (8-2) would give the Blue Devils that elusive second-round playoff win, and notch their third team milestone this season.
"We keep bringing it up, but we were on the verge of this last year," Bismarck-Henning coach Mark Dodd said. "This is a big progression of the program. If you kind of look back and see where we've gone in the last six seasons, we're a little better, a little better, and I think the last two seasons are, I guess, our reward for all of the hard work. We really hope to take that next step."
But taking that next step won't come without a challenge. In fact, the Indians are expected to give the Blue Devils (10-0) perhaps their biggest challenge of the season.
DuQuoin has played a schedule consisting of five Class 3A schools, one 4A program, and suffered its first loss of the season in the opener to Highland (5A). The Indians lost 7-6 the following week to Harrisburg (9-1), but have since been on an eight-game winning streak.
"We're going to have to play our best game," Dodd said. "That's just the truth of the matter. They're going to be big and fast, and they've played a lot of bigger schools, so a lot of people think that's a pretty big advantage.
"Their two running backs in the backfield are very quick. They've got two really good receivers, and their line is comparable to ours. We're probably a little bigger than them, but not drastically. We're really going to have to be sound in everything that we do."
And that includes limiting penalties, taking care of the football, and forcing turnovers. The Blue Devils have forced a total of 22 turnovers this season, and have found success in limiting the offense of the opposing teams. Bismarck-Henning is giving up an average of only 2.8 points per game. The Blue Devils still know they will have their hands full.
"This is going to be one of the best teams we've played all year," said Bismarck-Henning senior defensive end Austin Reinken, who has a team-high eight sacks this season. "They've got the size to match up with us, they've got the speed to match up with us, and as a matter of fact, they run the same offense as us.
"A lot of people are saying we are the underdog and we're not better than this team. We've just got to show them — that's the way we were last year when Pinckneyville came to us. We're the underdog, they're bigger, they're supposed to beat us. We came out and played hard, and that's what we need to do again."

Permanent drug drop-off boxes have been unveiled throughout Hampshire and Franklin counties and Athol.
"One of the biggest crisis' in America for our youth now is opiate addiction," said Northwestern District Attorney David Sullivan. "And, abusing prescription medication has become rampant. One in seven youth 12 and over have used prescription drugs to get high in the last year."
The new boxes, which are set up at 15 police stations throughout the district, are expected to bring in up to two tons of unused prescription drugs each year.
"The chance of a young person abusing drugs goes up by having them available," said Sullivan. "Seventy percent of the youth get these medications from their friends or family."
In years past the area has collected unwanted drugs on National Prescription Drug Day and has seen overwhelming results.
"We actually collected more in Hampshire and Franklin County than the entire state of Rhode Island and Vermont the last three drop offs," said Sullivan.
And, in addition to helping to prevent teens from abusing prescription drugs, the hope is that the boxes will help elders by allowing them to get rid of their unused drugs to avoid confusion and prevent theft as well.
"We often times see cases of theft of drugs and persons with disabilities by in-home health aides, their loved ones," said Chris Geffin the NWDA's coordinator for elders and persons with disabilities.
Putting drugs in the trash or down the toilet can have extremely negative environmental impacts. One of the added benefits of the boxes is to decrease the number of drugs that are improperly disposed of.
"These types of medications basically cause the bacteria that lives in the soils to become immune," said Charles Kaniecki, the state district health officer for Western Mass. "When you have higher immunity to bacteria then what happens is when we become ill our drugs that we are using have less of an effect on us."
And, by making these boxes permanent, the district is expecting to bring in one to two tons of drugs per year.
"Whether it's aspirin all the way up to oxycodone, we want to get every single prescription, non-prescription medicine that is no longer being used into these boxes," said Sullivan.
All drugs in pill form are accepted, though no liquids or needles are allowed in the box.
The drugs will be collected by the sheriff's departments from all the drop-off locations once a month and disposed of free of charge by Covanta Energy in Agawam.

Eagles Lose Heartbreaker to Kennesaw State
FORT MYERS, Fla. – The Florida Gulf Coast University men's basketball team fell to Kennesaw State in the final seconds of Friday night's game, 69-68. FGCU used a late 12-0 run to take a one-point lead, but fell just short of the win.
The Eagles record falls to 5-13 (2-7 A-Sun), as Kennesaw State improves to 7-12 (2-6 A-Sun).
Redshirt-Freshman Anthony Banks (Lantana, Fla.) scored 14 of his 18 points in the second half on 6-of-8 shooting, and recorded seven rebounds. Sophomore Reggie Chambers (Miramar, Fla.) added 16 points and six rebounds, while Derrick O'Neil (Moreno Valley, Calif.) grabbed a game high 10 rebounds. Kennesaw State's Markeith Cummings led all scorers with 30 points.
Cummings scored the first 17 points for the Owls, singlehandedly outscoring the Eagles through the first 7:19 of the game (17-14). Back-to-back threes from KSU's Kelvin McConnell and Spencer Dixon extended the Owl advantage to 23-14 with 12:12 remaining in the first half.
Kennesaw State would go on an 11-0 run, capped by a Cummings dunk to build a 38-22 lead with 3:50 left in the half. The Eagles scored the next five points, cutting the lead to 44-32 heading into the locker room.
Cummings finished the half with 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting, including 4-of-7 from behind the arc. Chambers led the Eagles with 11 points and four rebounds in the first half.
Kennesaw State maintained a double-digit lead throughout much of the second half, widening the gap to as much as 20 points (64-44) with 10:34 remaining. However the Eagles would not go down without a fight. Trailing 65-46 with 8:34 remaining in the contest, the Blue and Green scored 10 consecutive points to trim the deficit to just nine (65-56) with six minutes to go.
After a Jonathan Whipple dunk ended the KSU drought with 5:27 remaining, Banks answered back with a dunk of his own that sparked a 12-0 run, giving FGCU a one-point advantage (68-67) at the 1:17 mark. The Eagles continued to utilize a full-court press, forcing four turnovers and shutting down the Owls offense.
With FGCU holding on to a one-point lead, KSU's Kurtis Woods hit both free throws off a Chad Lutkenhaus (Fort Myers, Fla.) foul, advancing the Owls to a 69-68 lead. Despite having one last opportunity, a turnover by O'Neil with five seconds remaining would leave FGCU empty handed.
As a team the Eagles shot only 51.9-percent (7-of-13) from the charity stripe and went 24-of-61 (39.3-percent) from the field. FGCU also scored 21-points off 24 KSU turnovers. The Owls shot 57.8-percent (26-of-45) from the field and 54.5-percent (12-of-22) from behind the arc.
The Eagles are back in action this Sunday, Jan. 24 as they play host to the Bears of Mercer University for "Take A Kid To The Game Day." Tip-off is scheduled for 2:05 p.m. at Alico Arena.

Appearance: a black pour with a very healthy and rich tan head.
Smell: the nose is rich in molasses and black licorice. Roasted malts are everywhere.
Taste: Big and malty up front....roasted malts. Much like the nose this beer is big with sweet molasses and black licorice. A sweet roasted finish.
Mouthfeel: lively and yet smooth.
Drinkability: A decent beer which makes for a pretty good cold weather drink.

4.47/5 rDev +10.1%
Appearance Black as night with a dark head that didnt foam up too much but left its mark on the glass.
Smell Traditional stout aroma. The burnt essence, mostly of malt, came out first followed by the huge sweetness of molasses, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and an announcement of alcohol.
Taste This is nice. The flavor fits the bill presented by the aroma, although the chocolate seems to be coming out a little more. The burnt malt flavor is the highlight, IMHO.
Mouthfeel Little to no carbonation in accordance with the style, and no stinging sensation on the gums or cheeks from the 9 ABV.
Drinkability You cant drink this one all night, because youd be trashed. But, that said, this is a very smooth brew that I highly recommend.

Bottle, best by December 2013, poured into a chalice at Poechenellekelder in Brussels.
A – Pours a very deep brown, though clear as some light does come through. One and a half fingers of light tan head has pretty good retention before fading completely, leaving no lacing behind.
S – Chocolate malts, dark fruits and a faint amount of alcohol.
T – Roasty and chocolaty with a very light initial sweetness that quickly fades. Very nice lingering roast bitterness.
M – Medium full mouthfeel with a roasted malt finish that is dry and slightly bitter.
O – Definitely one of the better Belgian stouts I've had. Hides the alcohol pretty well, without resorting to big sweetness to do so.

Presentation: Swing-top bottle at 't Brugs Beertje, Brugs, Belgium.
Appearance: Really dark brown, close to opaque with a creamy tan head.
Smell: An interesting floral hop aroma. Never experienced it before.
Taste: This brew is very stout like, but with a big kick. Fruity and malty with burnt notes and some raisin flavours to round things off. It's also quite bitter which, again, is stressed as being very unusual. The hop flavour is unlike any other that I have tasted. There's some semi-astringent notes and loads of esters too. Alcohol is like vapor in your mouth -- very dominant.
Notes: Nothing to comapre it by, however it is very European in charater. Sheer bliss.

Comes in a cute and tiny 11.2 oz swing-top bottle, thanks to Daniel of The Moan & Dove for the sample.
Appearance: Pours a think fluffy tan head ... nice retention. The liquid easily renders a stout black colour.
Smell: Major licorice. Fruity, ester and some solvent alcohols in the nose as well as some undertones of dark roasted malt.
Taste & Mouthfeel: Sturdy medium to full body with a rich complex maltiness of dark and toasted malts. On the sweet side with light earthy mineral and nutty flavours. Hints of roasted coffee and dark bread come to mind. Prune like fruitiness, alcohol is a little bit solvent with a broad range of esters to boot. Hop bitterness evens the brew and stays on the sidelines though.
Notes: The alcohol lands it as an Imperial Stout, perhaps not as thick as others but this may have been closer to what an Imperial Stout could have been. An amazing brew to say the least.

Tap @ Toronado SD. Poured jet black with dark ruby edges. Tiny ring of oily bubble on the top. No lacing, but could have been the glass. Currants, coffee, roasted malt, and chocolate. A bit thin for the style, big carbonation. Deep, rich currants-with-dark chocolate flavor. Subtle bretty taste with smoke and roasted malt. Tastes a more like a Belgian stout than a RIS.

Black throughout with a light brown cap that eventually leaves small, irregular lines down the glass.
Roasted malt, a touch of coffee, and a lot of dark fruits aroma, especially red grapes.
An interesting and unusual imperial stout, with the red grape flavors dominant, along with lots of roasted and black malt flavors, a bit of Belgian yeast tang, as well some mild coffee presence. Strange.
Medium to full mouthfeel with moderate carbonation.
A strange, unique, grape-forward stout. I wouldn't have this again, especially for the price.

Best before 9/2003...
Solid black appearance, big bottle-conditioned head of a full inch in height, tan and creamy. Fat ring laces. Muted aroma, some bit of far off chocolate and a touch of molasses. Interesting flavor, coffee roastiness but combined with prune and a spicy ester. Starts off soft, builds in yeasty and fruity components, and finishes with a java bite and a Belgian-style mustiness. An interesting take, it may compare most closely to Le Coq Imperial, but with traces of its heritage still lingering. A little expensive, but a nice beer for sure. Could have used a little more mouthfeel, alcohol level was sufficient.

On-tap at the Brick Store.
Pours black with a one-finger tan head. The head recedes into a thin layer on top leaving solid lacing.
Smells of roasted malts with a sort of ashy tinge to it. Dark fruit aromas waft out from time to time and grow stronger as the beer warms.
Tastes good. Heavily roasted malt flavors with slight hints of dark fruits and slighter hints of tobacco. The ending is mildly bitter leaving a roasted flavor lingering on the palate. The alcohol is very well hidden.
Mouthfeel is good. It has a solid thickness with moderate carbonation.
Drinkability is good. I didn't have a problem finishing the glass and could have a few more.
Overall this was a very solid stout that has more dark fruits than most but not quite enough to be a "Belgian Stout". Definitely worth a shot.

A bit like a milk stout in sweetness but not too much so. At the high end of mouth and finish for a stout without a lot of chocolate or coffee finish. As good a beer as it is, it is way too expensive at $4.79 for a .33l bottle. To share a high end stout with a friend a Mackeson XXX is very close in taste at much less cost.

(Served in a dimple mug)
Vintage 2007, best before April 2008
A- This swing-top opens with a sharp loud pop and slowly the head rises up the neck. The very thick oatmeal-beige creamy head sits on a brown dense body of beer with a huge boiling carbonation of tiny bubbles. The head pushes above the glass never loosing its form and last for the full glass.
S- The light musty smell of fresh rain has a smooth dark malt nose and a hint of aged red wine vinegar. The smell is pretty clean overall.
T- The taste of dark roasted malt has a slight red wine tannin taste to it with a dark chocolate malt flavor to follow. The malt flavors are dark but have a very fruity quality with notes of prunes aswell before the soft malt flavor in the finish.
M- This beer has a medium-light mouthfeel with a slight watery texture and a light alcohol burn in the back of the throat as the beer warms.
D-This beer has some nice dark malt flavors and some subtle Belgian yeast character but it was a bit light and watery. This beer won't stand up to age.

Pours a deep black with some hints of red/copper around the rim. a nice fizzy off white/gray head of foam. Nose is a bit earthy with some copper and chocolate notes and some faint dark fruit and roast. Taste follows with some bitter chocolate and dark malt. Some hops in here. an akward oliveness that hampers this one a bit. Getting better as this warms, tastewise. Mouthfeel is quite thin and a bit chalky. Drinkability however is quite good. Defenitely one of the easiest drinking 9%ers I have had. It is clear to me that this stout is made in belgium, as they seem to have issues with subpar viscosity when it comes to imperial stouts. These are just my thoughts. One worth trying, that I think may get somewhat better with a little bit of time. A fine beer.

4.8/5 rDev +18.2%
A belgian dark strong ale tweaked to near imperial stout status. I couldn't ask for anything more!
Pours virtually black with just a trace of ruby around the edges. Gigantic fluffy, rocky tan head is as impressive as any I have seen. This is one beautiful beer.
Nose is stung with notes of dark chocolate, berry sweetness, and a strong spice of some sort (perhaps clove). Spicy hops too? Hard to decipher all that is going on here, but I am certain that a good deal of roastedness is evident.
Lots of dark chocolate riding on top of some burnt/expresso hues. Juicy black berries and dark fruit appear. Then comes a yeasty spice kick, which brings some heavy earthiness with it. Alcohol is slight and almost scotch-like. Faintly smoked. Some hops come in toward the end, adding a unique floral taste and bitterness. But they end up squashed under the chocolate-berry-roasted-smoky mix.
Highly charged, typical for a belgian.
Very smooth and creamy, typical for a stout.
It manages to find a middle ground in mouthfeel, and ends up being very drinkable.
Big time winner here. This one is a treat. Right up there on my list of favorites

A very good stout, smooth in a beautiful flip top directly fresh from Belgium, that "popped" twice from the carbonation. The added flavourings gave it a syrupy aroma with molasses. Not as thick as other Russians, but I could stay on this all night no problem.

a- Poured dark black rooter candy. One finger of quickly dissipating tan head
s- Interesting. Black Licorice, Anise, Red wine alcohol
t- Bitter Dark Chocolate, black Licorice, unsweet red grapes
m- Light on the palate for a stout, slightly watery which did not detract from the beer too much, carbonation perfect, light n bubbly on the tip of the tongue
D- 3/5, I'd say don't pass this one up, try it once, it is a great beer with a unique taste like nothing I've ever had. Besides how many times do you get to drink a Belgian stout?

Black in color with a deep tan head that holds well and leaves a good lacy surface coating and solid collar. No lace around the glass, however. Overall, a very nice appearance. The aroma is somewhat surprising in it's fresh, youthful, sweetness & fruity character. It's also fairly intricate with notes of sweet malt, rich dark fruit, some brown sugar and molasses, and limited roastiness. The body is medium-full with a solid and very-fine carbonation; giving a somewhat zesty - and oily- mouthfeel. The flavor is quite complex, offering different flavors throughout the range of the tasting including dark fruits, rum, chocolate, caramel, molasses, floral hops, berries, very creamy coffee, not so creamy coffee, and spent espresso grounds. These flavors are all fairly sweet in the mouth but the underlying bitterness keeps everything from whirling away; and the finish leaves a distinct bitterness at the back of the throat. The aftertaste lingers with some lightly sugary, grainy, and roasty notes. Still, the sweetness can become somewhat cloying towards the end of the bottle. The alcohol is very well hidden at first, but becomes more apparent toward the middle of the serving. An extremely enjoyable beer with great complexity. A very interesting and highly unique beer that probably deserves more than one tasting. Absolutely worth seeking out.

On draft at Churchkey in DC.
Garnet body, one finger creamy tan head with sticky lace.
Some vague Belgian yeast and some tart grape on the nose.
Mellow, like mulled wine. Vinous, slightly tempered by hop bitterness. Some plum and some malt. Some background cranberry. Cinnamon?
Smooth, fluffy mouthfeel.
Unique-- bitter for a Belgian, but unlike other stouts.

Picked up a swing-top at Abe's Cold Beer. This certainly is an interesting beer. From the get-go there's a big, sweetish borubon aroma that's intoxicating with an edge of charred grains to it. The flavor is subtle and dangerously drinkable. There's a very Irish-styled mellow mixture of roasted chocolate and dark toast with light prune notes. This beer reminds me of a fine baltic porter for its smooth, dark flavors and mixture of fruit with black barley. I don't know if I've ever come across a stout this strong and this drinkable. There's no hint of the 9% alcohol whatsoever. It's probably a good thing this beer is only sold by the single bottle.

Asana Column: Virabhadrasana II (Warrior Pose II)
The Power of Yielding
As you explore, you'll become more and more familiar with the physical and emotional characteristics of each pattern. In the pattern of "push and push" or "prop," muscles tend to grip the bones, creating hardness in your tissues. This pattern impedes your circulation. When you're pushing too hard you'll tire quickly and waste products will build up in your muscles, making them feel heavy and sore the next day. In addition, whenever you hold yourself apart from your breath and the Earth, you create a frozen, isolated, defensive state of mind.
In the pattern of "collapse," muscles hang from the bones, joints lack integrity, and force is unable to travel through you efficiently. Your bones become like misaligned railroad tracks: When a train of force moves through you, it moves from side to side or completely off the track, rather than in a powerful, unbroken line.
By contrast, when you yield in your relationship with gravity, force can transfer smoothly from bone to bone, and your muscles can work with maximum efficiency. You may notice that when you let the Earth hold you up, you can stay in the pose a great deal longer than you can when you're pushing the Earth away. With some practice, you can feel all the muscles in your body moving with your breath in an undulatory rhythm.
In Virabhadrasana II, your leg bones will actually migrate away from and back toward your pelvis, becoming a part of the breathing process. In fact, when we get out of our own way, no part of the body is held separate from the breath. When you allow yourself to be moved by the breath as it rebounds from the Earth, your mind becomes open and receptive, returning to its naturally inquisitive nature. But all of this will only happen if you let it happen: You cannot achieve yielding through effort. It can only happen when you begin to let go of effort, balancing intention with release.
My own discovery of the power of yielding came through illness. Some time ago I was chronically ill for more than a year, and during this time I became terribly thin, losing much of my muscle bulk and strength. Previously I had been given to effortful and highly controlled practice, but after my illness I no longer had the physical capability to hold myself up in my old way.
After many months of practicing nothing but restorative postures, one day I tentatively stepped onto the mat to do a standing pose. Trembling with the effort and astounded at my weakness, I paused for a moment and stood very still. Taking a deep breath, I asked if there was something else that could hold me up. And then, as I exhaled, the Earth answered.

6 Best Ways to See New York, by Fly.com's Ralph du Plessis
Manhattan (fondly known as "The Big Apple" or "The City" ny
locals) is the reigning top U.S. tourist destination, packing a
world-renowned punch in just 23 square miles. NYC is a city of
superlatives boasting five-star hotels, top-rated restaurants,
world-class entertainment and sports venues that house national
title-holding teams; one could spend years fully exploring all New York
City has to offer.
Must See Manhattan is a year-round destination,
drawing millions of visitors to see the famous Rockefeller Christmas
Tree, sip cocktails at the Central Park Boathouse restaurant, take in a
Broadway show on the Great White Way, reflect at Ground Zero,
helicopter around the Statue of Liberty, run the famous NYC marathon or
admire it all from atop the Empire State Building or from the middle of
Times Square. Home to the United Nations, the city is
dripping with diversity and culture. Lincoln Center is the world's
largest cultural complex with theaters, operas, ballets and art
exhibits. Carnegie Hall is considered the premier venue for classical
music in the U.S. The Museum of Modern Art is the most comprehensive
collection of modern art in the world. Little Italy and Chinatown
remain hot destinations for tourists looking for an authentic meal or
simply a meal-side serenade. World famous doesn't have
to mean expensive, especially for those willing to explore some nearby
boroughs. Consisting of Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and the Bronx,
Manhattan's sister boroughs offer even more cultural insight and family
activities. The Bronx Zoo accepts admission by suggested donation on
Wednesdays. Brooklyn's Botanic Garden offers free admission on Tuesdays
and Saturday mornings. Staten Island's famous ferry, which shuttles
riders from lower Manhattan to Staten Island, provides a free spot to
enjoy views of the skyline and get up close and personal with the Statue of Liberty and
Manhattan Harbor. Two new ballparks opened in 2009: Queens' Citi Field,
home to the New York Mets, and Yankee Stadium, home to the Bronx
Bombers (better known as the New York Yankees).

The 2010 college football postseason is hitting the home stretch as it heads to Alabama for the BBVA Compass Bowl. The Pitt Panthers and Kentucky Wildcats hit the field on Saturday, Jan. 8 and we've got all your odds and predictions needs covered.
The line: Pitt by 3.5-4 points. The line opened favoring Pitt by two, but has moved a couple points more in the Panthers favor.
Notable Pitt units: The Pitt defense is giving up 19.8 points per game, ranked 20th in the nation. On offense, the Pitt rushing game is marginally better than its passing game, with the Panthers running for 157.8 yards per game, good for 54th in the nation.
Notable Kentucky units: In the regular season, it was the passing game. The Wildcats threw for 274.2 yards per game, ranked No. 22 in the nation. That all changes in the BBVA Compass Bowl with quarterback Mike Hartline suspended for the game. The offense, producing 33 points per game (ranked 25th) is likely to see a change without Hartline at the helm, relying more on Randall Cobb, the Wildcats all-everything athlete.
The pick: Even with Pitt's coaching situation in flux and all the distractions the Panthers have had leading up to the bowl, we'll go with Pitt here. Without Hartline, Kentucky takes a huge hit on offense, making one think the Wildcats will struggle to put up points. Pitt for the win and to cover.
The 2011 BBVA Compass kicks off at noon EST. The game will be televised on ESPN. Browse our 2010 college football postseason schedule for a complete list of bowls.

FHB: I have never heard of this for an IRA. I went to Citizen's webpage and it seems there is a $25.00 fee for closing out the IRA plan. It says nothing about fees for closing CDs even when they reach maturity. I have always just replaced a matured CD in the IRA with another and never been charged a fee at any bank I use for my IRAs.

NARRAGANSETT ŌĆö A disturbing defensive trend developed early in Friday afternoonŌĆÖs Division II-South baseball game for both Narragansett and the visiting West Warwick.
In the first inning of the contest Mariner ace Kullen McGill walked three of the first four batters and allowed runs to Ray Zincone and Matt Grenier. In the bottom of the first inning the Wizards committed an infield error which didnŌĆÖt cost them a run.
WEST KINGSTON ŌĆö It wasnŌĆÖt the sunny spring day that everyone was hoping for, but the rain held off long enough for the South Kingstown golf team to compete in its first RIIL match of the season. The Rebels team of six went up against southern division opponents from North Kingstown and Chariho High School on Monday afternoon at Laurel Lane Golf Course. The teams endured very windy conditions for their first match, which brought an extra element of difficulty to the course. Returning after a successful 2013 season (7-6-1) that qualified the team for the state tournament, South is preparing for a competitive season with hopes of chasing the southern division title.
NORTH KINGSTOWNŌĆöSenior night.
For nearly every high school athlete, itŌĆÖs the one event that always leaves a lasting impression.
It was certainly a special night Tuesday for the eight seniors on the North Kingstown boys basketball team ŌĆō Jake Mansfield, Spencer Bode, Grant Gillis, Chris Lenox, Evan Gaudreau, Isaiah Butler, Kellen Coleman and Zac Brady. But for Brady in particular, it was a momentous occasion.
NORTH KINGSTOWNŌĆöSouth Kingstown seniors Mary Eden and Mary Matthews combined to take 10 foul shots in the final minute of regulation and overtime in Wednesday nightŌĆÖs girls basketball game at North Kingstown.
And their coach didnŌĆÖt see a single one of them.
ŌĆ£It was just too stressful,ŌĆØ first-year SK coach Amanda Varone said. ŌĆ£I couldnŌĆÖt watch. IŌĆÖm also very superstitious, so when I didnŌĆÖt watch, we made them.ŌĆØ
Nick Ross didnŌĆÖt compete with the La Salle University menŌĆÖs track team last year but his early performance during this indoor season shows that he didnŌĆÖt get rusty.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆō ItŌĆÖs official; North KingstownŌĆÖs boys indoor track team is definitely a contender for the state championship.
With the times they put up during SaturdayŌĆÖs Southern Division Championship at the Providence Career and Technical Academy, thereŌĆÖs certainly reason to put them in the running for state champs.
The Skippers blew the division away with a final tally of 163 points, coming in first over CharihoŌĆÖs 99 and Rogers with 42.
Not only did North take the division, the Skippers took first in nine out of the 14 events that were scored and earned points in every one.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆō The East Greenwich boys indoor track team held its own at the Suburban Division Championships Saturday at the Providence Career and Technical Academy.
Coming in second place with 75.5 points, 20 points ahead of West Warwick, the Avengers scored where they would have expected given their daunting Hendricken competitors. The Hawks won by a landslide with 223.5 points.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆō On paper, it looks like the Southern Division Boys Indoor Track Championships was a slaughter delivered by North Kingstown.
Sometimes looks can be deceiving though, as Chariho put up a mighty fight and more than earned their second place rank. The Chargers may not have clinched first at the Providence Career and Technical Academy on Saturday morning, but they put impressive distance between themselves and the rest of the field.
Chariho tailed NorthŌĆÖs 163-point win with 99 points of their own, while Rogers finsihed in a distant third place with 42 points.
Due to the football schedule our weekly high school picks for Tuesday night's Division I, III and IV semifinals will not appear in print as the games will be played before our papers go to print, yet the matchups were not available last week as our papers were published prior to the Thanksgiving contests. As a result, our picks for the semifinal rounds will be published online and our Superbowl selections will appear in print this week.

(4) Cranston East at (1) Barrington

Ocean State Waves general manager Matt Finlayson is going back to his roots for his new manager.
A baseball player in his own right at Salve Regina University, Finlayson has tabbed Seahawks skipper Eric Cirella to take over head coaching duties of the Waves.
Finlayson played for CirellaŌĆÖs father, Steve, at Salve and also coached with Eric under Jim Foster at the University of Rhode Island.

= Introduction =
This version of the Compendium is very much a community effort and is still a work-in-progress. Derevka
contributed substantial sections and moral support, and I must thank Sambubrad both for going over the
math with me and the regular reminders that technically correct is the best kind of correct.
A/A: Archangel/Atonement spec
BT: Borrowed Time
CoH: Circle of Healing
DA: Divine Aegis
GS: Guardian Spirit
HC: Holy Concentration (talent, Holy tree)
HoH: Hymn of Hope
HpM: Healing per Mana, a measurement of efficiency
HpS: Healing per Second, a measurement of throughput
ICD: Internal Cool Down
IF: Inner Focus
IW: Inner Will
MA: Mental Agility
PI: Power Infusion
PoH: Prayer of Healing
PoM: Prayer of Mending
PS: Pain Suppression
RSTS:Random Secondary Targeting System
SoR: Spirit of Redemption
SoS: Strength of Soul
= QuickStart =
These are some suggested templates:
as Disc:
Archangel/Atonement, general purpose
dedicated tank healing, without Archangel/Atonement
There is a distinct gap between our obviously useful glyphs and the remainder of our choices.
Take the ones that are obvious, and fill in the rest according to your preference, or even by the
mechanics of a specific fight. With the changes to the glyph system, there is now no reason not
to view glyphs as a consumable.
Based on the idea that we have 3 prime and 3 major glyph spots, we will fill these with the
must-have glyphs first. Then options for the remaining slots are given and these can easily be
changed to suit the individual fight.
*Must-have glyphs - disc
*Penance |reduces cooldown by 10% |
*PW:Barrier |increase healing by 10% |[absolutely necessary]
Prayer of Healing|adds a HoT (20% over 6 sec)|
PW:Shield |heal for 20% of shield value |
*Divine Accuracy |hit cap for smite and holy fire |[must-have for archangel builds]
*Prayer of Mending| increased healing from first charge of PoM |
Smite|+20% damage to targets with holy fire |[a strong choice for A/A builds]
Dispel Magic |heal for 3% of overall health |[can proc DA]
Mass Dispel |reduce cast time by 1 sec | [very nice if you will be doing any dispelling]
Holy Nova |reduces GCD by ½ sec|
Fade |reduces cooldown for fade|
Fear Ward|reduces cooldown and duration by 60 sec |[situational and/or pvp]
Desperation |cast GS and PS while stunned | [mostly a pvp glyph]
Psychic Scream|cower, but +3 sec cooldown |[possible utility in 5-mans]
Fading|reduce mana cost by 30% |
Shadowfiend|5% max mana if it dies | [much less useful now that pets have good resistance to aoe]
Levitate|no reagent | [how did we live before we had this?]
Fortitude|reduce mana cost by 50% |[less useful now after the cost reduction in 4.0.6]
Shadow Protection|increase duration by 10 min|[/TABLE]
Mastery is a new stat introduced in Cataclysm that basically makes you better at what you do. Mastery's effect
depends on your class and specialization, and the mechanic can be different for each.
For Disc, our Mastery is Shield Discipline
For Disc:
1. Get as much Intellect as you can through higher item level gear and gemming.
2. Items should have Spirit as a secondary stat.
3. Keep a balance to your other secondary stats (haste, mastery, crit). None of them are
outstanding, but they synergistically increase each other's values.
See Also Stat Ratings
As your mana feels more comfortable, start reforging your spirit into one of the other secondary
stats, usually haste or mastery.
We are still considering socket bonuses with an eye toward what will bring us the most overall
benefit: either the bonus+mixed color gem or the pure color intellect gem by itself. Often only the
higher socket bonuses will be worth matching.
[TABLE] | Artful Ember Topaz |20 int, 20 mastery

On one hand you have the Ember Shadowspirit Diamond, this provides provides an increased mana pool,
which in turn affects "total mana†based regen. (Replenishment, Rapture, Hymn of Hope, Shadowfiend, etc…)
Additionally, you start the fight with more mana, which is mana you wouldn't have had without the meta gem.
On the other hand you have the Burning Shadowspirit Diamond which provides you with 3% increased critical
effects… pure throughput increases to your critical heals. (Disc Priests: Dont forget that this, in turn, provides
increased Divine Aegis).
Ember Shadowspirit Diamond remains the default choice, but the recent change to Burning Shadowspirit
Diamond (now critical effect instead of critical damage) makes it a viable throughput option.

Quick answer:
Bring intellect food and flasks to the raid, along with mana pots.
Availability and cost of materials for various buff foods remains to be seen.

The feasts provide intellect as the useful stat, so you may want to consider bringing your
own spirit food if that is your preference.
[TABLE] |Flask of Battle (guild flask) |effect based on class and talents
|Flask of Flowing Water |300 spirit
|Flask of the Draconic Mind |300 int[/TABLE]
Cauldrons give an int flask, so again healers may want to bring their own spirit flasks.
The new potions available are:
[TABLE] |Mighty Rejuvenation Potion |7200-8800 mana and health
|Molotov Cocktail | increase runspeed by 50% for 15 sec
|Mysterious Potion |restore 1-15000 health and mana

|Mythical Mana Potion |9250-10750 mana
|Potion of Concentration |up to 22000 mana, defenseless
|Volcanic Potion |1200 spell power[/TABLE]
At the bare minimum, you will need a way to track the ICD of Rapture, and you will need to be able to
see both PW:Shield and Weakened Soul (cast by both yourself and others) on your raid frames.
Please see the Addons and UI section for detailed information.
= Brass Tacks =
Let's talk about Archangel/Atonement.
Smiting to a 5-stack of Evangelism costs less mana each cast and Atonement does 100% of the damage
as healing each cast. It is a 'smart' heal, so it chooses the lowest health targets within a short range
(now accounting for the target enemy's combat reach), including hunter pets and temporary pets like
shadowfiend. A 5-stack consumed by Archangel will return slightly less mana than you spent, and boost
your healing by 15% (+3% per stack) for 18 seconds.
The main purpose of Evangelism is to provide Archangel for the times when you need the healing boost.
The smite-to-heal mechanic is a conservation technique to keep putting out a base amount of healing
while spending (overall) very little mana during lower damage phases of the fight. A non-Archangel/Atonement
spec would use Heal for this purpose.
In Cataclysm it is not unusual to see a raid with health not topped off while healers go into their conservation
phases. HOWEVER--if someone needs healed, heal them! Don't just keep smiting and hope a heal hits the
person you wanted.
In 4.1, Holy Fire was changed to also trigger Atonement and Evangelism, meaning that we will want to keep
Holy Fire on cooldown as much as possible during any time we will be Smiting. The can be
used to increase damage and therefore Atonement healing.
In 4.3 Atonement was changed to account for the target enemy's hit box when calculating range, enabling its
use on very large enemies such as Ragnaros and Al'akir.
Power Word: Shield has a 1 second cooldown when talented and a high mana cost. How am I
supposed to spam this like I used to?
The days of PW:S spam are over. The reduction of the duration of PW:S in patch 4.1 to 15 seconds made
pure shield spamming even less practical. That said, there are still a few times when spending the mana to set
up a bunch of shields is worth the high cost. Overall, it is nice to still have this as an option without spending the
entire raid casting one spell over and over.
Remember that Rapture is an important source of mana regen for the disc priest, and proper shield placement,
timing and monitoring of the rapture procs can maximize returns.
Should I take Inspiration?
Yes--you should always take Inspiration if you might be healing a tank at any point. This includes healing
the tank group with PoH, and remember that PW:S can proc Inspiration from the glyph heal. The value of
the 10% physical damage mitigation from Inspiration should not be underestimated.
How should I use Power Infusion?
Both the haste and the decreased mana costs are very valuable to a disc priest while gearing up. Once in
full raid gear, the decision to keep PI for yourself or cast it on a dps becomes much more situational,
depending on the demands of the indiviual fight on healing and dps.
Divine Aegis -- Lasts for 15 seconds.
A foundation disc talent, and now even more so for raid healing. Critical heals from PoH
award bonus DA, in addition to the guaranteed proc.
Divine Aegis absorbs are 30% of the critical heal amount * Absorption Mastery. It continues to stack
when refreshed, and caps out at 40% of the priest's total health. Multiple DA's from different
priests do not stack together, but instead create separate buffs which can each stack up to 40% of
the casting priest's health.
Divine Aegis will not produce a shield if the full heal that would cause the DA is absorbed by a Death
Knight's Necrotic Strike.
Patch 4.3 brings a return to a spell graphic very similar to the old 'soap bubble' effect.
Pain Suppression
One of the best cooldowns available, but don't forget the threat reduction can do funny
things if used on a tank.
Power Word: Barrier
Almost a smaller version of Pain Suppression, the glyphed version of this giant bubble
is amazing stacked onto top of holy priest and druid ground-based AoE effects. Changed to a 3 min.
cooldown in patch 4.1.
Should always be glyphed for the healing bonus.
Divine Hymn
Changed in 4.3 to heal the 5 lowest health raid or party members (up from 3). Always use hymns
when buffed with Borrowed Time, a haste trinket or bloodlust (or both). Tick gains and haste calculations
are made at the start of the channel, so beginning the cast with only a second or two left on bloodlust
is enough to get the benefit for the entire channel.
see also Haste and Channeled Spells
Inner Focus -- Often macroed to be used with the
elegible spells on cooldown.
Grace -- Grace is 4% per point per stack,
reaching a maximum of 24% additional healing on your primary target. This stacks multiplicatively
with other healing bonuses for a very substantial increase to Disc single target healing. As of 4.0.6
Grace is no longer limited to a single target, reducing the penalty for healing someone other than your
primary target and opening up opportunities for boosting AOE healing on multiple individuals.
Only your own Grace provides benefits to your healing of that target.
Veiled Shadows
This can be a useful regen talent.
Holy Nova is no longer confined to your group, or even your party. It will heal other members
of your raid, other players who happen to be nearby and even friendly npc's wandering past at the right
Strength of Soul -- In patch 4.1 Strength of Soul will
also reduce another priest's weakened soul effect, not just your own.

is dynamic; healing is fluid. That said, we will need to be sure we are keeping an eye on Weakened
Soul, Grace, Penance CDs, and Prayer of Mending CDs.
Grace, when fully stacked, gives you +24% healing done to that target. That isn't a trivial amount of
healing. Pre-pull you'll want to Penance your tank to get those stacks up. Additionally, if you are doing
a fight where you will have tank taunting, you'll want to be sure your new tank has their Grace stacks
ready. This can mean waiting 1-2 seconds on casting a Penance and use that to "prep†the Taunting
Tank as they do "Taunting in 3…2 … 1?. For example, on Ragnaros when our tanks are taunting to
reset their debuffs, I'll pre-penance the new tank to ensure my Grace is stacked on them. (Protip:
Grace not only provides throughput, it also is a trigger point for Renewed Hope)
I use both GHeal and Heal as my filler spells. GHeal is my primary go to… why do I not cancel cast?
Well, canceling that cast might have just canceled a 70k Crit– and thus a potentially valuable DA and
refresh of Inspiration. If mana is starting to run low, or if I know the damage pattern is going to be
low for a while. I will switch to regular Heal– this allows me to Strength of Soul reset Weakened Soul,
as well as potentially critically heal for 20-22k. (and DA)
Remember to use FH/SOS in those emergency situations. Strength of Soul also allows you, at the
sacrifice for some mana, burst heal with a string of Flash Heals to top off your tank, and (via SoS)
reset Weakend Soul for a follow up PW: Shield.
Most importantly, as a Disc priest your biggest advantage is to know the fight. If you know you have
a boss ability that requires everyone to do some movement… prepare yourself. Will you need/have
PWS available to use on the fly? Same for POM. If you know big damage is coming in a few seconds,
hold off and mitigate some of it with PWS (into a Borrowed Time GHeal or BT>Penance>GHeal).
Saying "I was running away from ability X†is not a valid excuse for letting your tank die — prepare for it.
Coming Soon!
For 4.3, the threat system has been overhauled yet again. Tank threat
generation has been made more quick and consistent. Caution should still be used at the start of a pull,
when the tank might not have control of all the mobs yet. Increased tank health pools
provide some buffer, but you may find yourself needing to heal before the tank has solid threat on
every mob. In this situation pre-fading is very useful. Keep an eye on dps who manage to get a mob
away from the tank, as they may die (or feign death), sending the mob running to hug YOU.
This actually sets you to zero threat for the duration of the buff.
Cast fade immediately before you start healing. Waiting to fade until you
actually have the attention of one or more mobs can cause them to move away from the tank and cause
positioning issues. Also, remember that not only your initial threat but all the threat you generate
while faded is returned to you when the fade ends. Be aware of all these factors when you make your
decisions. Low-threat heals like binding heal may be called for in particularly delicate situations.

How should you leverage haste when you are channeling your Hymns? The easy answer is for Discipline:
always cast hymns when you have Borrowed Time. That is immediately a free 14% haste included in your
channel. Holy Priests, since they do not have a on demand Haste ability, can leverage either Haste Trinkets
or Heroism/Bloodlust should they line up to be used at an appropriate time. Protip: Your tick gains and
haste calculations are made at the START of the channel. So if you start a Hymn with 1 sec left on Hero/Lust,
your channel is cast under those higher haste assumptions.
To provide an example, on the PTR I have 18.34% Haste, unbuffed. As Disc I can leverage Borrowed Time
and cast a Hymn with 34.90% Haste (Remember: Haste gains are multiplicative, so you just don't add haste
together). As Holy, I won't have access to Borrowed Time, however, I could use Shard of Woe (despite its
regen nerf in 4.3) and cast with 33.75% haste. (For those curious: Shard, Borrowed Time, and Power Infusion
I landed at 82.97%. )
It should be noted, however, that the tooltips for both Divine Hymn and Hymn of Hope both state "Maximum
Targetsâ€. (4.3 PTR Divine Hymn: 20; and Hymn of Hope: 12). For several patches now, this bug has simply
allowed for additional ticks to be gained. If it is ever "corrected†(a la the HW: Sanctuary 6+ targets "bugâ€);
we should still continue to value Haste for these Hymns if anything for a decreased channel duration.
(bug confirmation)
Disparity Between 10-Man and 25-Man
Purely based on the total number of targets available, a single Hymn (Hope or Divine) will have different
results in 10 and 25. Taking range out of the discussion, a 10 man raid will be much more likely to "double
hit†(or Triple) a single target with a Divine or Hope tick… while a 25-Man raid might have more "equitable
distribution†of each tick. Further affecting our hymns, is the fact that each hymn provides a lingering buff,
that makes subsequent ticks even better– and in turn making the impact of raid size disparity difficult to
really gauge
Leveraging Our Hymns
How and when should we be using Hymn? Say it with me (again) know the fight. The more you know the
boss encounter, the better you can plan and time your cooldowns. This is particularly important for Holy
Priests, as they can leverage their shortened cooldowns to get multiple hymns cast in a single fight. For
example, in the Dragon Soul fight against Zon'ozz, a Holy Priest can time their Hymn to be available for
every other round of Black Blood of Go'rath. (Depending how many 'bounces' you do of the shadow orb).
Of course, we should also use Divine Hymn as a "OH CRAP!†panic button when the raid takes a sudden
surge in damage. (Just remember, this may adjust your cooldown rotation and your raids should be
prepared to handle that)
Hymn of Hope is always a little tricky, since it can be a 8 second (non-hasted) period of pure altruism!
The casting priest is not guaranteed a regen application. On Heroic Ragnaros, I have trained (or attempted
to!) our Warlocks to Lifetap before I cast HoH; this helps in getting the mana to the folks that really
need it.
Long-time priests either hate our regen pets for their short attention spans and
wandering ways, or have accepted their shortcomings and given the little guys names. In 3.3 they
were changed to now avoid 90% of incoming AOE damage, dramatically increasing their survivability
(and therefore reliability).
You can get the most out of your shadowfiend by combining it with Hymn of Hope if the fight allows.
If you are low enough in mana to be sure of getting at least one of the HoH ticks (which raises your
maximum mana by 15%), you should use your fiend and then go directly into HoH.
Shadowfiend returns 3% of your maximum mana per attack. It will deliver 10 * (1 + Haste*0.01) attacks
during its duration. It can be useful to cast your fiend right before bloodlust/heroism (extra
swings mean extra mana), although timing this can be tricky.
Rapture is an important part of mana regeneration for a disc priest. Fully talented, it returns 6% of total
mana when PW: Shield is fully used or removed, and there is a 12 second internal cooldown on this ability.
In order for Rapture to cause your Shields to be mana neutral, your mana pool will need to be:
[TABLE]Condition |Mana cost |3/3 Rapture |2/3 Rapture |1/3 Rapture
none |6795 |113250 |169875 |339750
Hymn of Hope
Hymn of Hope will restore 2% total mana per tick for 4 ticks and increase your mana by 15%. The first
tick does not benefit from the mana increase, but subsequent ticks do. Best used when your mana is low
enough to guarantee you will recieve one of the ticks and the associated buff to overall mana pool.
Inner Will and Mental Agility
Inner Will reduces the mana cost of your instant cast spells by 15%. Mental Agility reduces the mana
cost of your instant cast spells by 3%/7%/10%. Though technically not 'Regen', these effects stack
additively to give 25% mana cost reduction to instant cast spells.
Mana Tide Totem
Mana Tide now provides a flat amount of spirit, and is raid-wide. This means that
using the on-use spirit effect of a trinket ( for example), will no longer improve your
regen during Mana Tide.
A healer's UI is focused around two points--the raid frames and your character model. The less time
your eyes spend moving between these two locations of vital information, the more time you have to
react to changing circumstances. Other needed information is displayed radiating out from this
central location, the importance dictating how close to the center it needs to be. Examples of this
second ring would be player and target frames and important procs and debuffs. Remaining
information, such as damage/healing meters, chat frames and ordinary buffs are lowest priority and
can safely be placed at the edges of the screen. It is important to prioritize information in this
way so that you aren't distracted from the job at hand (healing and staying alive) by a flood of too
much information, most of which you don't actually need at the moment.
Unit frames are used to show information about your raid and party members in a compact format.
Health status is a primary concern, but select buffs and debuffs are also very important to show. Of
less importance but still common are indicators of incoming heals, the status of HoTs on the player,
their distance from you, as well as convenience items such as group role and afk status.
The new raid frames now available through the default UI are dramatically improved from times past
and are certainly a viable option now, especially for those who want to keep setup minimal and memory
useage low. For those who prefer the appearance and customization options of unit frames through an
addon, there are many choices readily available but for simplicity I will mention only two: Grid and
Vuhdo comes with an very usable default setup right out of the box. The configuration interface
is completely redesigned and the appearance of the raid frames can be customized if desired.
VuhDo : Raid Mods : WoWInterface Downloads
A long-time favorite, Grid is extremely customizable but not as intuitive to set up,
although recent changes have made large improvements in ease of use. The Grid addon itself is
fairly basic, and many additional modules are available to add a wide variety of functions. A
benefit of this is that you don't need to download modules you don't intend to use.
Grid - Addons - Curse
Now that the unit frames are set up and everyone is visible, you need to be able to cast your heals
on them. The simplest method is of course to click the player you want to heal to target them and
cast the spell. Most healers find this system too slow and unwieldy however, and choose one of the
following methods:
Mouseover Macros
This is a system of binding macros to keys and casting by hovering the mouse over the appropriate
player's frame and pressing the key to cast. This method does not require a mouse with extra buttons
or an addon to use, and you do not need to actually select the player as your target. Make one macro
for each of your healing spells.
A typical mouseover macro would look like
/cast [target=mouseover,exists] Greater Heal
or with a stopcast (to interrupt a slower casting spell)
/stopcasting /cast [target=mouseover,help,nodead] Pain Suppression
A popular alternative to mouseover macros is click-casting. For this you use an addon to
bind spells and macros to your mouse buttons directly, and then just click on the selected raid
frame. These addons are used with raid frames that do not have this functionality built in already
(Grid is the most common example given, while Vuhdo has the capability built in).
Clique : Unit Mods : WoWInterface Downloads
Tracking buffs, debuffs and cooldowns on yourself and others and displaying the pertinent information
in a convenient location is also important for effective and efficient healing.
Power Auras is an addon for displaying graphical auras on your screen to indicate
various states. A much more elaborate version of the default aura system, very customizable and
capable of linking auras together to produce more complex conditions.
Power Auras Classic : Buff/Debuff/Spell Mods : WoWInterface Downloads
Some handy pre-made Power Auras for healing priests:

There is a lot of information out there about setting up a healing UI, and additional research will
serve you well as you develop as a healer.

This spreadsheet calculates the effects of your spells and models customizable healing rotations.
This is still a work in progress. Bugs and errors can be reported to Arison via private message on these forums.
To calculate the value of a spell, the formula (BaseValue + Spellpower * Coefficient) * Modifiers is used.
[TABLE]|Level 85 Base Value |Coefficient |Modifiers
Shield |8136 |0.870 |Imp. PW:S, SD, TD
Renew* |1224 |0.131 |SH+IR+GoR, TD

Prayer of Mending* |2971 |0.318 |SH, TD
Prayer of Healing |3087:3262 |0.340 |SH, TD
Holy Nova* |1696:1972 |0.196 |SH, TD
Divine Hymn* |4009 |0.429 |SH, TD
Penance* |2822:3187 |0.321 |TD
Circle of Healing |1776:1962 |0.2 |SH, TD
Lightwell* |3309 |0.354 |25%
Serenity(Heal) |5198:6100 |0.604 |TD
Sanctuary(PoH)* |299:355 |0.03 |SH, TD
Smite |653:732 |0.714 |TD [/TABLE]
*Per tick value
SH = Spiritual Healing, 15%; Imp PW:S = Improved Power Word: Shield, 20%; TD = Twin Disciplines, 6%;
IR = Improved Renew, 10%; GoR = Glyph of Renew, 10%; EH = Empowered Healing, 15%;
SD = Shield Discipline, 20%+
The direct relationship between the base values and the coefficients of (most) spells means that we
can derive a formula for comparing Spellpower as a rating; that is, a measure of how much Spellpower
is needed to gain a 1% increase to healing.
(BaseValue + Spellpower * Coefficient) * Modifiers = BaseValue * (1 + Spellpower / BaseValue / Coefficient) * Modifiers.
At level 85, dividing the base values by the coefficient gives us ~9345. Therefore, your Spellpower
will give your spells additional value equal to Spellpower / 9345. Using Heal as an example, with
7482 spellpower:
2824 + 7482 * 0.302 = 5083.564
2824 + 7482 * 0.302 = 2824 * (1 + 7482 / 9345)
7482 / 9345 = .80064
2824 * 1.8006 = 5084
With 7482 Spellpower, Heal gains 80.06% additional value.
Since it takes 93.45 spellpower to gain a 1% increase to your spells (93.45 / 9345 = 1 / 100), it can
be said that it takes 93.45 Spellpower 'Rating' to equal a 1% increase. This makes it easier to
directly compare the throughput value of Spellpower with other ratings to determine basic stat
The spells that do not follow this convention are Binding Heal (100.01) and Holy Word: Sanctuary
(105.32); these spells will not scale as well as our other healing spells, though only slightly.
[TABLE]Statistic| Rating | Increase | Adjusted| Stat Weight
Disc Mastery| 179.28 | 2.5% | 71.71|1.3
Spellpower | 93.45 | 1% | 93.45|1.0
Haste | 128.06 | 1% | 128.06|0.73
Holy Mastery| 179.28 | 1.25% | 143.42|0.65
Disc Critical | 179.28 | 1.147% | 156.35|0.60
Holy Critical | 179.28 | 0.557% | 268.92|0.36
'Adjusted' is how much of each stat is need to give the equivalent of a 1% increase to healing.
Intellect increases your Spellpower by 1, Spell Critical Chance by .001541, and Mana by 15. The
first 18 Intellect will not give mana, and the first 10 Intellect will not give Spellpower
Spirit increases your Spirit Regen according to the following formula:
Spirit Regen = Sqrt(Intellect) * Spirit *.016725
Mastery adds 1.25% additional healing to direct heals with Echo of Light for Holy, and 2.5%
additional absorption for Discipline.
Critical heals are 200% of the value of a non critical heal. Divine Aegis adds 10% additional
healing as an absorption shield per point, increased by your Shield Discipline mastery.
Healing = Average Heal * (1 + Critical% * (0.5 + Divine Aegis * Shield Discipline)
Haste increases your casting speed according to the following formula:
Base Cast Time / (1 + Haste *.01)
Haste rating decreases the period length between ticks from channeled spells and heal over time
effects according to the same formula, replacing the Base Cast Time with the channeling time or tick
period. Durations are determined from the period times the number of ticks. You get k more
ticks for a hot/dot that has m ticks at 0% haste if your haste is higher than (2k-1)/2m.
Haste rating converts to a 1% increase at a much quicker rate than other secondary stat ratings, but
does so without providing any increase in efficiency. Generally, it lets you spend your mana faster,
and is devalued any time you aren't GCD locked.
Haste rating is additive, haste buffs and percentages are multiplicative.
To calculate the number of ticks for a given haste:
Int[Base # Ticks * (1+ Haste *.01) + 0.5]
To calculate the Haste Rating needed to reduce spell cast time from base cast time to any desired
cast time you use:
((Base Cast Time / Desired Cast Time) - 1) * Rating Conversion * 100
With the removal of Enlightenment and 3% Haste buff, the reduction of Borrowed Time (14% at max
rank), and the change to Darkness (3% available in Tier 1 Shadow), we have new caps and plateaus for
Haste rating.

themselves, but can reduce the overall channel time. How do we know how much haste affects the total number
of ticks? Well… here's the formula:
ROUND (Base Spell Duration / ( Base Tick Time / (1 + Haste %)))
That said, the breakpoints for these spells are:
12.5% (5th tick)
37.5% (6th tick)
62.5% (7th tick)
87.5% (8th tick)
Woah there buddy… now before you go chasing these breakpoints, I am displaying these more on an academic
level. Haste, as a general rule, is a great way to increase your output based on the fact that you'll be doing
things faster. (Faster cast times, channels, GCDs, etc).
That said, any haste beyond any of these breakpoints will simply shorten the channel time but retain the amount
of any additional ticks. For example, if you had 37.4% haste, you would have only 5 ticks (Meeting the 12.5%
breakpoint but not the 37.5%) however your channel will be substantially faster (actually as fast as possible without
gaining an actual tick). While having exactly 12.5% haste would keep you at the longest possible channel(8 sec),
and still 5 ticks of the Hymn. The overall healing that the spell did is the same, but the HPS is higher for the shorter
channel (as you are getting the same amount of healing out in a shorter period of time)— more importantly, shorter
cast times free you up to move or begin casting a new spell sooner.

In order to determine which enchant is a better choice for you, we need to first determine what it is that you are
looking for or what you feel you need more of.
Heartsong has a chance to give you 200 spirit for 15 seconds when casting spells. Keep in mind that spirit is purely
a regen stat. It does not give you any increases to your spell power or to your mana pool.
Power Torrent has a chance to give you 500 intellect for 12 seconds when casting spells. Intellect serves a number of
purposes. Each point of intellect after the first 10 increases your mana pool by 15. It also increases your spell
power, at a rate of 1 spell power per point of intellect.
Spirit and intellect both factor into the formulas for in combat and out of combat mana regen.
In Combat
Base mana regen + % of spirit based regen from ]Meditation & Holy Concentration x 0.016275 x spirit x square root
of the total amount of intellect
Priests have a base mana regen of 1029.5 every 5 seconds. Meditation gives you 50% of your spirit based regen
while in combat. Holy Concentration increases this amount by an additional 30%. Currently, I have 2509 spirit and
5415 intellect. The square root of 5415 is 73.59.
1029.5 + 0.80 x 0.016725 x 2509 x 73.59
Next, we do our math from left to right, starting with the multiplication. The final numbers will always be rounded
down, for the purpose of these calculations.
1029.5 + 0.01338 x 2509 x 73.59
1029.5 + 33.57042 x 73.59
1029.5 + 2470.4 = 3499
Out of Combat
Base mana regen + 0.016725 x spirit x square root of the total amount of intellect
1029.5 + 0.016725 x 2509 x 73.59
1029.5 + 41.963025 x 73.59
1029.5 + 3088.1 = 4117
These figures show what my regen would look like without any of the enchants mentioned above and without any
party or raid buffs. Now let's take a look at what my in combat regen would look like if I had a Heartsong or Power
Torrent enchant on my weapon and the enchant procs. I'm choosing to go with in combat regen here because I
don't feel these enchants would have as much weight if you were standing still and not in combat.
In Combat (Heartsong)
1029.5 + 0.8 x 0.016725 x 2709 x 73.59
1029.5 + 0.01338 x 2709 x 73.59
1029.5 + 36.24642 x 73.59
1029.5 + 2667.4 = 3697
In Combat (Power Torrent)
1029.5 + 0.8 x 0.016725 x 2509 x 76.91
1029.5 + 0.01338 x 2509 x 76.91
1029.5 + 33.57042 x 76.91
1029.5 + 2581.9 = 3611
As you can see, the difference is quite miniscule. You are getting more regen from a 15 second Heartsong proc
than you would from a 12 second Power Torrent proc, but not by much. The Power Torrent proc also temporarily
increases your spell power by 500 and the size of your mana pool by 7500. So it could be argued which enchant
you're really getting more out of. Heartsong is great for regen, but only regen. Power Torrent may increase your
regen by a smaller amount, but also buffs your character in other ways.
One way that you can close the gap between Power Torrent and Heartsong is by timing a Power Torrent proc with
your Shadowfiend. Shadowfiend restores 3% of your total mana with each strike and usually strikes a target 10
times. If you have a larger mana pool, Shadowfiend will give you back more mana. This is one of the big reasons
that Shadowfiend works so well with Hymn of Hope, which also temporarily increases the size of your mana pool.
Let's see how much mana Shadowfiend would return to you, using my unbuffed mana pool as an example.
103,122 mana x 3% = 3093 returned per swing
3093 x 10 swings from Shadowfiend = 30,930
Now, with the temporary boost to my mana pool from Power Torrent
103,122 + 7500 = 110,622
110,622 x 3% = 3318 returned per swing
3318 x 10 = 33,180
Power Torrent clearly came out ahead on that one. Keep in mind that this is only if you use your Shadowfiend
when you have a active proc from Power Torrent. If you time it wrong, you won't see the increased returns.
