Chisholm: Piano Concertos
Studio Master: CDA67880 Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available
Movement 1: Molto moderato (tranquillo)
Movement 2: Allegro scherzando
Movement 3: Adagio
Movement 4: Allegro con brio
The earliest version of the Pìobaireachd Concerto dates from 1932. By December 1937 it was revised and, in 1938, first performed in a broadcast from Edinburgh with Chisholm as soloist and Ian Whyte conducting. The first public performance, however, was in the St Andrew's Hall in Glasgow on 20 January 1940, with Chisholm again as soloist and Aylmer Buesst conducting the Scottish Orchestra. Unfit for active service, Chisholm spent the first months of the war painting white lines on the streets and blacking out windows:
Well, in this painting business I don't think that my musical training is altogether wasted. When painting lines on steps and along the edge of pavements I lay on the paint as a musical stave—in five lines with four spaces between—and this gives me an advantage over the man who lives as it were only from line to line, doing what must be one of the most monotonous jobs in the world. Looked at in this way, our gang must have ruled enough five lines and four spaces to write the complete works of Bach and Beethoven! … Nor can I complain that my life lacks variety—this morning, for instance, I was helping in blacking-out 1200 large windows in a large building & now I am going off to rehearse my piano concerto with the Scottish Orchestra.
The pìobaireachd on which the first movement—Molto moderato (tranquillo)—is based is Maol Donn, now known as MacCrimmon's Sweetheart. Maol Donn is a lament for the death of a favourite cow and it has an associated pìobaireachd song. Songs in praise of individual animals are common in the Gaelic-speaking world, and with good reason, for its economy has been focused on cattle for thousands of years. Such sentiments may seem odd to some readers in an orchestral context: but we are dealing here with a culture which has retained much of its closeness to nature and which still retained a degree of veneration for cattle, as is the case to this day in the East. Since his mother was a MacLeod, Chisholm would have welcomed the association of this tune with the MacCrimmons, who were the MacLeods' hereditary pipers.
The concerto opens with bassoons supplying the drone, and a solo oboe playing the bagpipe line verbatim. Chisholm's treatment is, however, entirely his own, and one can hear immediately how effectively he has translated the idiom pianistically. The first variation is a much more energetic affair than would be the case in a normal pìobaireachd, the piano soon stamping out the rhythm in the bass, with the tune in the violins and upper wind. There follows a return to the opening tempo with the piano in rhapsodic mood. This, though rarely done at this point in modern pìobaireachd playing, used to be an integral part of the tradition in the eighteenth century. The ensuing variation (Allegretto scherzando) is a jig that brings out a totally different character in the tune. This is followed by a thoroughly joyful passage leading to the cadenza, which runs the jig to ground and, via a ruminative section, prepares us for a return to the opening, but in different guise.
There is no conventional recapitulation of the main theme or, as would also occur in the tradition, the ùrlar. A brief up-swell of feeling—it is marked appassionato—is more in the classical than in the traditional mould, but it captures and extends that moment which, in pìobaireachd, hovers between the elaborate and the simple as the ùrlar returns. For all its liveliness, there is much that is thoughtful and lyrical in this movement, honouring the gentle and beautiful shape of the ùrlar itself.
The second movement, Allegro scherzando, is a wonderfully energetic Scottish dance. It is delivered with a splendid mix of Stravinskian neoclassical techniques and more volatile Bartókian twists, twice grounding itself in a slow powerful passage in the lower register which, on its second appearance, is summarily dismissed with the last gesture of the movement. The tune itself is a lively variation on the pìobaireachd Fàilte Uilleim Dhuibh Mhic Coinnich—The Earl of Seaforth's Salute.
The slow movement, Adagio, is based upon the famous Cumha Dhomhnuil Bhain Mhic Cruimein—The Lament for Donald Bàn MacCrimmon, for which Chisholm has marked the solo piano to be played 'very distant and impersonal'. This pìobaireachd is reputed to have been composed by Malcolm MacCrimmon on the death, in 1746, of his younger brother, Donald Bàn. Donald Bàn is also the subject of Cha Till MacCruimean. Even if it is not by his brother, we know that when Donald Bàn was previously captured, the pipers on the opposing side refused to play until their own leaders released him, which was duly done. So it is anything but an impersonal pìobaireachd. Indeed, it is written of the famous piper John MacDonald that it 'was almost sacred to him'.
If it was sacred to Chisholm, it was in a very different way. He has enshrined it as though it were indeed a sacred object from the past, announced and concluded by a stroke on a gong, and veiled in mysterious textures. Low flutes set the tone, over which the piano introduces the ùrlar, like a bird in the night, uttering complex cries, brief but haunting, derived from the pìobaireachd. This is then taken up by the oboe and bassoon.
The sense of mystery is continued in the first variation, with the veiled tonal wash of the piano and horn, against which a solo violin, followed by solo clarinet, draws out a long thin line of sound as if from another world. The harmonic and orchestral textures here are rich and strange—sometimes coming like waves of water or light. Throughout it all, phrases from the ùrlar emerge and sink back into the texture. As the music gathers strength, the muted trumpet sings its own lament against rising arpeggios from the soloist, and the inherent riches of the whole burgeon into a climax which suggests a vastness beyond. There is a close similarity between this movement and the latent and sometimes terrifying power of Chisholm's Night Song of the Bards for solo piano.
The finale, Allegro con brio, starts as a reel—a quintessentially Scottish dance form which has traditionally involved rhythmic twists as part of its repertoire of tricks. Chisholm is quick to exploit this, with syncopations and notes picked out by additional emphasis, achieved through declamatory orchestral chords where the traditional fiddler would use bow attack or double-stopping. Into this repertoire of standard tricks Chisholm throws chromatic displacement of chords and spirited orchestration, tossing around from section to section fragments of rhythm. And 'rhythm' is the operative word. When asked whether melody or rhythm came first in his music, Chisholm responded: 'I rather think the rhythmic impulse is strongest; a definite body stimulus which, by its continued reiteration, induces a feeling of magnetic attraction (or sheer monotony) is a characteristic of the pìobaireachd, and also in my music.' The tune is number 16 in the Patrick MacDonald collection, and demonstrates that even a quite uniform pattern, when related to pitch with skill, becomes wonderfully provocative rhythmically.
A more lyrical section follows, with solo piano and woodwind seemingly anticipating Bartók's third Piano Concerto, anticipations which keep surfacing as the piece gathers energy on its way back to the reel. One moment stamping a foot, the next swirling and turning, with a final fusillade of off-centre chords, it ends—anything but exhausted, but with a flourish as if to say 'that is enough for now'.
Taken as a whole, this four-movement work not only introduces a new idiom to the world of the concerto, but also a new type of virtuosity. The piano concerto as a form is riddled with cliché, but in the twentieth century, particularly in the concertos of Bartók, there emerged a new kind of pianism. Chisholm had played the solo part of Bartók's Piano Concerto No 1 in Glasgow, but Bartók had only just completed his Concerto No 2 on his second visit to Glasgow in November 1933. Chisholm's piano-writing is totally different from both of these works. If there is a Bartók concerto which might be placed alongside Chisholm's No 1, it is the Third—composed after Bartók had twice stayed with the Chisholms and, intrigued by what he had heard, travelled home with as much pìobaireachd as he could carry, and a bagpipe chanter under his arm.

Hi everyone! I'm a newbie to this forum. I've been reading quite a few previous threads on the forum and have found them really useful. I thought it would be the ideal place to as a couple of questions I have.
At present I have a small compact and old Nikon Coolpix 5700 camera which has served me well over the years. I'm aware of the improvement in quality and versatility that I would get from a DSLR, and with young children would certainly benefit from the lack of shutter lag to avoid 'missing the moment'. I'd planned to spend about £600 but as yet other priorities have stopped me taking the plunge.
My first experience with a DSLR was with my Brother's Nikon D70 which a was really impressed with. As the Nikon range evolved to the D70s, D80 and D90 I noticed the obvious improvements; increased sensor size, LCD size, ISO range, dust removal system (as well as change from CF to SD, although I'm not sure that's an improvement).
Recently whilst browsing eBay I noticed an original D70 with lens could be bought for £150. Obviously this is a 5 year old design and technology has improved and moved down the range. My real question is would a D70 be a good buy in today's market? Or would I be better paying an extra £50 to get a d70s, or waiting until I'm in the Market for a D80 or D90? Would a newer 'entry-level' DSLR such as a D40x be better than an older D70? I don't know as much about the D40/D50/D60 range but was aware there can be some difference in the location of the autofocus motor in the lens rather than body, which can limit future lens choice. As I'm used to Nikon cameras and their menus I'm happier to stick with Nikon.
Any advice would be gratefully received!

[QUOTE=brady's a catcher;2387349]Is it possible that Tangini feels that Mosely, pouha, draft pick will be no drop off?[/QUOTE]
Sure it's possible and it would be a strong indication if the Jets trade Robertson prior to acquiring anyone else. But, I for one am not comfortable going into the Draft with major needs at OG, OT, NT, OLB and lesser needs at other positions like WR or CB. Robertson may not be great but he's a good body that plays a lot of snaps for us.
The problem with Robertson is that he's average and he's overpaid. If there is perceived value by a 4-3 team then we have to move him but doesn't his contract situation make that difficult?

FAIRFAX, Va. -- Three Fairfax County boys have been found guilty on juvenile charges for shooting cellphone videos of themselves and other teens having sex.
The boys, ages 16 and 15, were convicted Thursday by a juvenile judge. The Washington Post (http://tinyurl.com/c2msjn5 ) reports that two of them pleaded guilty to lesser charges of unlawful filming in exchange for their testimony in the trial of the third teen. That boy was found guilty of two counts of unlawful filming but acquitted of more serious child pornography charges.
The boys are students at West Springfield High School. They were arrested in January on child pornography charges.
One of the teens testified on Thursday that their judgment had been impaired by alcohol and that they considered the videos to be "humorous."

Hayward AQL-CHEM-UPG Sense and Dispense Chemistry Chassis Retrofit Kit with Board
Short Description
Sense and Dispense Chemistry Chassis Retrofit Kit with board (Includes AQL-CHEM and communication board. Add AQL-CHEM2 for pH dispense)
What if your pool could self adjust, automatically test its own chemistry, and balance and sanitize your water? What if it always knew what the water needed and adjusted continuously, eliminating unhealthy highs and lows? Ensuring brilliant, balanced water all the time, automatically. You can get your water and maintenance time in balance with Goldline Controls.
This professional-grade ORP and pH sense-and-dispense technology was previously only available for commercial pools. Goldline Controls now offers an economical approach, with the same level of accuracy, for residential pools. Unlike others on the market, Sense and Dispense uses a proportional feed algorithm that continuously tests the water, sampling pH and sanitizer activity, and adjusting chemical feeding on a basis proportional to the demand. Other approaches don't sample the water often enough and release larger doses, which is far less effective and can create highs and lows similar to a manual approach.
Adding the Sense and Dispense option to your Pro Logic*, Aqua Plus or Aqua Rite Pro is a fully integrated solution - not an additional box that resides on your pool pad - eliminating additional installation costs. It also provides a single source for status reporting and control.
Sense and Dispense consists of two kits. The first kit senses pH and ORP levels and dispenses a self-renewing supply of pure chlorine generated from salt. pH dispense can be achieved using the second kit, which includes a manifold that connects to a CO2 tank. CO2 is highly effective in lowering pH. With salt-chlorinated pools, pH tends to drift up. CO2 reduces pH to recommended levels by forming H2CO3 (carbonic acid), a safe acid that does not require handling. As an alternative to CO2, Sense and Dispense also supports commercially available peristaltic acid pumps. This approach does not require the second kit to manage pH.
* Requires optional salt chlorination kit

Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, the man who says he tricked Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o into falling for a woman he created online, claims the hoax had "everything to do" with escaping real life because he was molested as a child.
Tuiasosopo spoke publicly for the first time in an interview with Dr. Phil McGraw for the syndicated "Dr. Phil Show," the second part of which aired Friday.
Tuiasosopo, 22, told McGraw he was repeatedly molested, beginning at age 12, by someone who was close to his father, a church pastor and youth minister.
"I felt that I couldn't do things, accomplish things, pursue things, live out as Ronaiah," Tuiasosopo said. "And I felt the need to create this. It has everything to do with what I went through as a child."
Tuiasosopo did not identify his alleged attacker by name and did not say whether he had told police about his claim.
His father, Titus Tuiasosopo, said it was difficult to hear the details of his son's abuse.
"When he told me the location, the time, I could go back and vividly remember those trips, the times that these guys came over," he said. "That part, right there, was kind of gut wrenching for me."
Ronaiah Tuiasosopo said he built the online persona of Lennay Kekua, a nonexistent woman who Te'o said he fell in love with despite never meeting in person. Tuiasosopo then killed off the character last September.
Tuiasosopo impersonates Lennay Kekua's voice on Dr. Phil
He said creating Kekua — who met Te'o online during the player's freshman year at Notre Dame — allowed him to live in an alternate reality, and helped validate that he was a good person.
"When I looked at Lennay through Manti's eyes, I got a glimpse of who I was as far as my heart," said Tuisasosopo, who told McGraw he fell in love with Te'o.
When Deadspin.com exposed the hoax in a story on Jan. 16, the report raised questions about whether Te'o was in on it. But Te'o denied he was involved and Tuiasosopo also said the All-American linebacker had nothing to do with the scam.

Economic opportunity
Markets, whether large or small, keep communities thriving. But conflicts, disasters and a lack of infrastructure can prevent people from conducting the daily transactions on which all growth and progress depend. Around the world, Mercy Corps discovers why commerce is stuck.
In some places, manufacturers need loans to purchase equipment and young people desire job skills. In others, key transportation routes to market must be rebuilt or farmers require better storage to keep their inventory fresh until sold.
Our economic development projects provide financing, equipment, training or technical support. These projects help people find jobs, build their businesses, supply their communities with the goods they need —and improve their lives.

It is no accident that the opening tune in G minor has this down-to-earth quality—that is exactly where the wanderer is, his feet condemned to trudge the unfriendly earth. The vocal line starts in the lower part of the voice as if the singer at 'Ich auf der Erd' is looking down at his feet; then at 'am Himmel du' he gazes up at the moon and suddenly the tune jumps an octave into the heavens. Both travellers, the moon and its admirer, then occupy the middle of the stave at 'wir wandern beide rüstig zu'. In the third line of the first verse this contrast of tessitura also serves to underline a difference of mood—the traveller's 'ernst und trüb' as opposed to the moon's 'mild und rein.' It is all so natural and apt that one needs to remind oneself that it takes a special type of composer to reflect word-to-music details in such a way that we take them for granted There are other things in this song we scarcely notice on first hearing: the contrasts ('Ich' and 'du') in the first line have been harmonised by the straightforward apposition of G minor and D major chords, tonic and dominant; in the second line the moon music of 'mild und rein' is underpinned by D minor which gives a plaintive modal twist to the proceedings. The question ('Was mag der Unterschied wohl sein?') ends the verse in this same key; Schubert then simply changes F natural to F sharp in two chords (D minor—D major) and lo and behold we are in the dominant of the home key of G minor. It could not be simpler, but who else but Schubert could have done it? The tune of the second verse is exactly the same as the first but for the last three notes which fall earthward as they bitterly sum up the traveller's fate. Such a tiny difference as this—an upward inflection for a question ('Was mag der Unterschied wohl sein?') and then downward for the answer ('doch bin ich nirgend, ach! zu Haus') defines Schubert's genius for the modified strophic song.
But the greatest marvel is to come—the healing balm of moonlight streaming out in the major key. Up until now the accompaniment has been strongly accented chords, so simple on the page that they could be strummed on a guitar, the traditional instrument of travellers. Some of the chords are rolled in a no-nonsense manner which helps establish a mood of hearty self-reliance and the strong dotted rhythm of the jaunty little interlude which introduces the third line of the first verse suggests a certain type of grim courage, even defiance. At the beginning of the third verse ('Du aber wanderst') everything changes as the music softens into the major key. Instead of the heavy accented footfall of the traveller we hear the moon swimming (thanks to flowing semiquavers and a touch of pedal) in a pool of light and well-being. What is even more exceptional is that envy, bitterness or unhappiness are banished as the protagonist is overcome by admiration and love; in music of the greatest tenderness he salutes the moon as a marvel of nature. This song is thus a textbook case of how Schubert uses the polarity of major and minor ('the contrast', in Fischer-Dieskau's words, 'of masculine and feminine, of hardness and softness, of light and shade, of day and night') in order to depict that special realm of the spirit which is far removed from banal reality. The final verse is a compromise between the hearty opening and the dreamy atmosphere when the G major was first introduced into the picture. Compromise is the order of the day, for now the traveller can go on with life in a new perspective; in wishing happiness to those luckier than himself he has recovered his spirits. The four bars of the postlude allow him to walk offstage accompanied by a beam of light and as content as he will ever be.
It is worth noting that the words 'aus Westens Wieg' in Ostens Grab' in the first edition of Seidl's poems (and thus faithfully set by Schubert) make no sense in planetary terms. The sun and the moon rise in the East and set in the West. Seidl corrected it in later editions of his poems and we have accordingly changed it for this performance. One or two things in twentieth-century life are as fixed and reliable for us as they were for the composer, including, thank heavens, the workings of the sun and moon.

The Marxist League. The Socialist League. PRICE IN ENGLAND: 2d. AGENTS FOR U.S.A. : Y.P.S.L. The Labor Book Shop PRICE IN U.S.A. : .05 EDITORIAL OFFICE: "THE SPANISH REVOLUTION" 10, Rambla de los Estudios BARCELONA CONTENTS 1: For a Red Army of the Spanish Workers. 2: Declaration of Comrade Nin. The New Justice. 3: The Agrarian Question in Catalonia. 4: The Soviet Government's New Attitude toward Spain. 5: The Dissolution of the Antifascist Militia Commitee. 6: Stalinist Vandalism at Madrid For a Red Army of the Spanish Workers The difficult time of trial which the workers and peasants revolutionary impetus is passing through imposes upon us a primary duty: that duty is to face the facts. The military fascists will not be able to gain even insignificant victories, once we realise that we have taken up our arms not merely to call a halt to fascism but to prevent it from ever again constituting a menace to the cause of the workers emancipation, and that we must crush it and put it to rout once and for all though the triumph of the proletarian revolution. So long as the revolution goes on triumphantly day by day, fascism cannot triumph. The revolution demands heroism, a spirit of sacrifice, class-consciousness. Only by maintaining the revolutionary morale of the workers, not by useless words, but by the unanswerable force of deeds, will we be able to add to the cry of "fascism shall not pass" the more effective reality of "we shall pass over fascism". To conquer, fascism will go to the most barbarous extremes. But when we take into account the monstrous means to which the fascists have recourse, even when they are making war between themselves, we cannot be surprised that such proceedings are carried to their very limits when it is a question of strangling the revolution. But if all the workers organisations will work together, we will make fascism retreat to where the peninsula meets the sea. In the cause, we find ourselves in complete agreement with the "professed aims" both of the recent governmental reforms in Catalonia and the new military measure looking towards a unified command and a more effective army: but this army must be the Red Army of the workers. Revolutionaries are not mercenaries; they are the autonomous heroes of the proletarian revolution. Without damaging the perfect right of everyone to express his political opinion and social ideas, it is neccesary to keep the strictest discipline in the military sense and to carry out to the letter all orders coming from the unified command. From every combattant must be exacted unshakable revolutionary conscience and self-denial. But if it is neccessary to abolish the Antifascist Militia Committee in order to avoid the dangers of dual power after its mission is accomplished, it is not neccessary to recreate the army of the state, the tool of government, capable one day of being used against the people and against the cause for which we are struggling and daily offering our lives. We object to the present measures which create an army other than the Red Army. The combattants of the revolution must not be the headless automatons who so efficiently click their heels and do and die for Hitler and Mussolini. They must be the red army of the workers, fighting under a coordinated military command more capable of winning the war than the independant action of every political party's command. The unified command and the tightening of discipline are necessary, but after the model of Trotsky's army. When Lenin in Russia asked Leon Trotsky to take over the War Commissariat; the bolshevick situation was desperate. They scarcely even had under their control the territory lying between Moscow and Petrograd. There were counter-revolutionary governments in the north, menacing the old capital. In Archangel, the Ukraine, Siberia and the Caucasus, the "white" troops were advancing on Moscow irresistibly; they could count on the support of the whole of Imperialist officialdom. France, England, Japan and the United States gave them war material FOREIGN HELP Beans! They think we shoot with beans!

First of all,we must know how to calculate the Dodge/Parry/Mastery on your character sheet
In order to calculate easily,i ignore the 2 factorsParry = 5%+ parry(after DR)
Dodge = 3.9% +dodge(after DR)
Block = 5%+15%(Sentinel)+Mastery*1.5%+0.44%(shield enchant)
DR math : 1/y = 1/c +k/x
x= Dodge/Parry Rating adds Dodge/Parry chance before DR
eg: Dodge rating 1384 of adds 7.84% Dodge chance,so x = 7.84
c=65.63 k=0.956
1 Hold the Line in the talent
2 ShieldBlock in the skill
some explanations for this table
it's easy to find thatParry = parry on your character sheet after add 176.72 parry rating
Before DR = increase 176.72 parry rating adds parry chance before DR
DR = increase 176.72 parry rating adds parry chance after DR
1%parry = the increase reduction when add 176.72 parry rating(1%parry =1reduction)
eg:the row of Parry = 15.58, 1%parry=0.75%
it's mean that 14.79%→15.58%,add 176.72 parry rating can take the 0.75% reduction
Mastery = mastery on your character sheet after add 179.28% mastery rating
Mitigation = the matery you had gain the reduction,In fact, it's a Mathematical expectation
math = block*(critBlock*0.6+(1-critBlock)*0.3)
1%Mastery =the increase reduction when add 179.28 mastery rating
1%Mastery(actual) = add 176.72 converse 0.9852 mastery' effect in actual
becase 176.72 = 1% Dodge/Parry(before DR) =0.9852 Mastery
Parry:13.23%→14.02% 1%Parry =0.79%
Mastery : in the same row 17→18 Mastery 1%mastery(actual)=0.77%
Parry:14.02%→14.79% 1%Parry =0.77%
Mastery : in the same row 18→19 Mastery 1%mastery(actual)=0.78%
so,it's mean when your character sheet
parry=14.79 mastery=19
Regardless add the points from gems or refoged
add the same points, the reduction from parry < mastery
however, when parry<15,mastery<19
you should choose the parry, because parry's reduction >mastery
from this picture ,wo can know the rate of change from this 2 attributes
X-axis is mean adding X% parry before DR
in the picture,the cross-point is close to 11(before DR),so 5%+after DR(11) =14.59
At the last, for the easy to remember,the conclusion is that
note :1.if your character sheet(buffed) Dodge/Parry<14/15 and Mastery<19,you should reforged or gems to Dodge/Parry is better than Mastery
It's gain the better reduction that maintaining the blance between Dodge and Parry as soon as possible
2.if your character sheet(buffed) Dodge/Parry>14/15 and Mastery>20 , stack the mastery util your unhittable =102.4%
parry14.59≈ 15 because 15 is more remmbered
dodge have the similar relationship when parry-1.1 ,so dodge =14

e.... i forget the title cann't be edited in this forum
But I love some anal zing!!
Jokes aside, I don't think you can just cast aside Shield Block. It GREATLY improves Mastery rating.
Also, you don't really explain what I should do with Dodge/Parry > 14-15 & Mastery < 19 or the other way around. Its probably not a case that will happen that often, but just for the people that like to know everything
Mists of Pandaria Protection Warrior SpreadsheetOriginally Posted by Ion
Warlords of Draenor One Minute Field Guides
because Shield Block can be casted whenever parry15/mastery20 or parry 16/mastery19
and we change variable only = 1% ,△Reduction Expectation is too small, but it let me construct the math model become complex
so,for this reason, i decide to ignore the ShieldBlock factor,and same to Hold the line
Am I interpreting this properly?
Each parry step is 176.72 parry rating and each mastery step is 179.28 mastery rating - then you are comparing the values directly across...
So when you are at 10 pre-DR parry and 18 mastery, you are actually comparing:
1767.2 parry rating against 1792.8 mastery rating?
Sure it's only 1.4% difference, but your conclusions are also based on percentage point differences... Surely you should be comparing ratings directly.
if you get the 176.72 2nd Attribute's points from reforged
1.you converse to the parry , then your parry increase to 14.79, =your reduction +0.77% = the Boss Damage -0.77%
(+1%parry =-1%damage)
2 you converse to the mastery ,then your mastery increase to 18.9852(176.72 =0.9852mastery) = your reduction +0.79% = the Boss Damage -0.79%
so, it is easy to see, in the situation ,mastery is better then the parry
On the contrary , we find the excel table, when parry14.02/mastery18,1%parry>1%mastery(actual)
So,conclusion is deduced for these
Unless I'm reading this wrong, you are looking solely at the pure damage reduction benefits. Since mastery prevents less damage but over a larger percentage of hits, it also functions to flatten out damage graphs. While this may not be the intent of your analysis, it is worth noting, as it (in my opinion) gives mastery slightly more value.
It's the same reasoning why armor was valued so much higher than avoidance pre 4.0.1 - since it was easier to predict, it was better.

parry 30% +176.72 = 0.33%parry =0.9852*mastery
In defferent time,in the same rating converse rate are different
the conclusion is only dodge/parry = 14/15 , we only need few rating from gems or reforged can be achieved the Dodge/Parry to these Criital points
if 3parry vs 4mastery, i think i could choose 3parry,because parry is avoidance,but block is not
for the smooth out the damage ,
if Boss attack =60K, it have 30% chance direct hit you
+3% vs 6%block
continual direct double hit
3%parry =9% chance,and the 6%block =7%
the former have 2% less than the latter,it is mean latter have relative 2% smooth more than former,but parry is aviodance,block only mitigation

I like the graph and the table but to make it realistic you should include shieldblock and Hold the Line.
Hold the Line is only complicated if you want to do it accurately. 1% parry increases the uptime for HtL around 2-3% depending on the swingtimer of the boss and current amount of parry. Average amount of block is between 55-60% including shieldblock so HtL will turn an additional 5,5-6% blocks into crit blocks for an additional 30% damage reduction. 2,5%*6%*30%= 0,045%
I would just add a static 0,035-0,045% into the 1%parry column to account for HtL.
Not sure how you calculate the mitigation from mastery, should be %block*average block. Where average block is 0,3*(1+crit block).
Mitigation from 1 mastery: 1,5% crit block*0,3*old block percentage + 1,5% block*average block if you rewrite this you get:
1,5% crit block*0,3*old block percentage + 1,5% block*(0,3*(1+critblock)
0,45%*old block percentage+0,45%*(1+critblock)
0,45%*old block percentage+0,45%+ 0,45%*critblock
0,45% + 0,45%*(old block percentage + crit block)
In the last formula its pretty easy to add in shieldblock just add 50/3=16,67 for 25% critblock + 25% block divided by 1/3 uptime
0,45% + 0,45%*(old block percentage + crit block + 0,1667)
One last thing that changes the value of mastery a little is the 10% crit block from Hold the Line. When i did some calculations a while back i just added average 5% crit block for a 50% uptime on HtL.
Hope this helps

I am still opposed to averaging in shield block for damage reduction in stat comparisons.
You don't die with shield block up. You are unhittable and crit block is over 50%; It just doesn't happen. The marginal difference between stat priorities with shield block up, isn't worth the cost of an effective comparison while you are at your weakest.
Impact of shieldblock on the value of mastery is easy to seperate if you dont want to average it. 0,5*0,45%=0,225% extra damage reduction during shieldblock for 1 point of mastery. You can divide it by 3 and add it up to the total or just keep it separate. its significant enough that it shouldn't be left out.
Why i ignore the Hold the Line(HtL) and ShieldBlock(SB)
if your sheet parry10,mastery19, they can be casted
if your sheet parry11,mastery18, they can be casted
now,△parry/mastery = 1, the △benefit=1masteryBenefit(cause SB)-1parryBenefit(cause HtL) is too small
if i import them,my math will become complex,but △result is too small,and you know,more complex more may go to wrong
i wander to get the dim value like 14、15 etc, not 14.897、15.999
because nobody likes to remember 14.xxx%、15.xxx

Sure, math will become more complex with them, but they do actually change the outcome. Especially SB. It's up either 1/3 of the time or when needed most. (You have other big CDs as well that can be used at SB downtime if you go low there, so it's not totally wrong to assume, that one of the two above assumptions is true for a prot warrior who knows her class and the encounter.)
SB pushes both, survivability and dmg/threat. I doubt many prot warriors will allow SB to have a much longer downtime than 2/3 of the encouter. If you want to be on the save side, just calculate it's uptime around 1/4 of the time. That would be far off of what it's for most tanks but it's much better than to ignore it completely.
Same for HtL. Well you can chose to not skill it, but if you are interested in best survivability you should actually consider it. Everything else does not yield relevant results. It's just not important if the values are 14 or 10 or 19 IF you don't take HtL and never use SB. Anyone not doing this either does not have any problems with survivability or does not know the class.
If you want to give such easy to remember values - which I appreciate - you should at least make some approach to include them. It does not have to be accurate since you just want to give some easy to remember numbers. But if you want to have those numbers taken serious you have to include such important things like HtL and SB.

Haydn: Sun Quartets Nos 1, 2 & 3
Archive ServiceCDA66621
Movement 1: Allegro con spirito
Movement 2: Menuetto: Allegretto
Movement 3: Poco adagio
Movement 4: Allegro molto
The desolate minuet, its unease enhanced by the pervasive five-bar phrases, is relieved by its exquisite, lulling E flat major trio. Both minuet and trio fade away strangely on the brink of C minor, an effect that Haydn replicates in the unsettling pianissimo close of the finale. Though written against the background of sonata form, the Poco adagio, in G major, is essentially a fantasy on a single ardent melody. (A rare surviving sketch for Op 20 reveals that Haydn originally conceived the melody for cello rather than first violin.) Each of its reappearances is characterized by an evocative new sonority, typical of the composer's heightened sensitivity to tone colour throughout the Op 20 quartets.

"I know it's silly to give all 10's, obviously every trip has it's ups and downs, but if it hadn't been for our Kensington Tours planning, guides and drivers we would have been lost! It was wonderful to be out in a strange new environment yet know we had a safety net and a friendly face. The places we visited were awesome but I think we'll remember most the people that we met. Thank you and I'll send photos soon! Sincerely, Christina Adams"

"We just returned last night from our Patagonia adventure and we had the time of our lives! Everything turned out perfectly. Guides were fun, on time and informative. The excursions were great for an active family and, of course, amazing. I thought after the glacier trek it can't get any better - but it kept surprising me and amazing me. My personal favorite was the horseback riding. I thought afterwards after everything we have seen the bike tour would have to be a let down - NOPE - it also was so exciting and our guide was a hoot! Meals were amazing and after so many active excursions no guilt in pigging out. I am so happy we took a little risk and went out of the way with our vacation this year. We will have this with us for a life time.

"GREAT trip! We were very pleased with every aspect that Brandi set up for us including the tour of Quito and environs. Our guide spoke excellent English, the driver was courteous and we felt safe and well-informed throughout the day. We're still going through the 500+ photos that I took and the 1700+ photos that my son took. Galapagos was a fabulous trip and the Eclipse was a terrific way to navigate the islands.

"My wife and I had a wonderful trip, we really enjoyed ourselves. All the accommodations that you booked for us were exceptional and our drivers and guides were lovely. We had great weather the whole trip and only lost one activity due to high winds. As you know this is a beautiful part of the world so my camera was snapping all the time. We would definitely use your services in the future for this type of travel. Thanks for all you help and expertise........be well.....m.d."

"Dear Sofia
I wanted to give you a little feedback on our recent trip to Peru.
In a word – EXCELLENT – especially the high quality people you work with in Peru. We have taken tours all over the world, S. Africa, France, England, Vietnam, China to name just a few, and the service we received in Peru was far beyond and of the other experiences we have had. The attention to detail was very much appreciated, picking us up at the airport, taking us back to the airport and complete, hassle free, handling of all our details truly made this a stress free experience.
Special thanks to:
-The entire reservation system and the people I came in contact with that process...every detail accounted for
-The people that looked after us in Lima
-Andre, the young man in Cusco who faithfully phoned every night just to make sure the day went well, my wife was well and that we knew what we had to do the next day.
-The Sumaq hotel in Aquas Calientes...you can tell the level of service by the details...I watched a waitress hold a high stool for a lady to prevent her from tipping backwards as she got on the stool, the lady didn't even know the waitress did it....that's client care.
-Especially Mariela, the tour guide in Cusco...highly knowledgeable, passionate, personable and shows great care for the people she guides.

A big ship that shoots at baddies
An unrealistic relationship that you love so much but causes you so much pain and misery forcing you to scream "MY FEELS!" while sliding out of your chair because it never comes true even though it's so obvious it should.
