I ask because I came across this:
"Strength gives a large amount of parry now. Using a Fine/Guardian's instead of a Skillful/Sovereign give you about 80 more parry rating per gem, which is on the order of .01% extra chance to parry. That is... completely underwhelming. Although AP from strength doesn't contribute to SBar on its own, the 5% extra AP from strength given by our Battle Shout does contribute to SBar. Per gem, we get about 32 extra damage reduction on a 60 rage SBar while also getting a very comparative amount of parry. In the end, the difference lies in its effect upon your damage output. Parry rating gives you nothing, strength gives you a little bit more. Is the difference world-ending? Nope, but the greater benefit across the board will come from the strength gems."
Is this math just incorrect? I assume the dancing steel versus rivers song question is similar.

OK, today I am selling my iPad 1 64GB 3G for £450. I am planning on spending that money on photographic equipment. I will be saving some more money as well to reach my target fund of £700. I currently have two Canon DSLRs, the 450D and the 5D mark 1 with a canon 70-300mm F4.0-5.6, a canon 50mm F1.8, A canon 17-40mm F4.0 and a Canon EFS 18-55mm kit lens. My next purchase choice is between a Canon 100mm 2.8 L macro lens and a Sony NEX 5 with a 16mm pancake lens. The macro lens will help immensely but so will the NEX as I cannot carry my DSLRs everywhere and I could fit it in my pocket all the time meaning that I wont miss opportunities. But it means that I would have to start a new collection of lenses. I am having a huge problem choosing what to go for so I thought I would ask the surplus of enthusiasts and Pros at the WDC forums for help.
Please help !

My kitty begs for Cat Man Doo
By Magnus
from New Jersey
I have been giving my cat these fish flakes for a few years now - she actually sits at her bowl and looks at me and gives me a little meow every night so I will give her some. they are expensive but I buy the biggest bag available so it lasts. And a little goes a long way - a pinch or two is all it takes to make her happy.

3 of my 4 cats tried this today and loved it. It looks and smells like bacon to me, maybe to them too. In any case, they ate every flake from their bowls.

just so much fluff
By Cathy
from Cape Cod, MA
I was unhappy with the texture of this product---it is like tissue paper. It makes it hard to feed. The best use would be to sprinkle on top of food for a picky eater, but did not work if you wanted to hand your pet a treat.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

My Gibson loves this stuff! It's his last treat of the day before bedtime. I keep mine fresher, longer in a Charles Chips pototo chip can. When I open it, he knows what time it is if he isn't already here bugging me for it. They have very excellent internal clocks!!

My cat loves this stuff...
By Serendipity-WA
from Vancouver, WA
My orange tabby, Milo, absolutely loves this stuff. He craves it constantly. I would buy it more often if the shipping were not so expensive. If you are on the fence about whether or not to buy this just try it. When he/she tries it for the first time, your pet may be a little confused at first because this stuff is light and fluffy and does not have a hard texture like dry kibble or squishy like canned food. It will kind of melt on their tongue but they will definitely love the taste. This company's freeze-dried chicken breast is great also. BOTH my cats love that. Mmmm...good!!!!

The Art of the Plausible
Prospects for clean energy legislation in 2011.
• Energy Efficiency: CES proposals can treat energy efficiency in different ways. Some include a minimum energy efficiency carve-out within the CES, effectively establishing a nested energy efficiency program, where energy efficiency credits can be used for both mandates, while others simply allow, sometimes with caps, CES requirements to be met with energy efficiency credits.
Both Lugar and Graham allowed energy efficiency simply to be a compliance option of the overall CES, rather than a parallel portfolio mandate. Lugar's bill restricted energy efficiency trading, by stipulating that a utility with excess energy efficiency credits could only sell or transfer those credits to entities in-state. In turn, the Graham bill capped use of energy efficiency credits, by allocating them separately from clean energy credits and limiting their use to 25 percent of a utility's compliance obligation.
• ACP and Cost Recovery: An ACP fills several roles. It provides a price ceiling for a command-and-control program to address regional resource differences and mitigate ratepayer exposure, and it provides a long-term price signal for clean energy developers. The ACP in Lugar's bill was 5 cents per kilowatt hour, while the Graham ACP was set at 3.5 cents/kWh, with both adjusted for inflation.
A key issue with the ACP is deciding how ACP payments are to be used. In order to ensure cost neutrality, one approach is to send some or all of that revenue to the federal government, although that would inevitably result in a large wealth transfer from, primarily, resource-poor states that find the ACP option to be most cost effective. However, the seemingly more popular approach is to return all or most revenues to the state whose ratepayers incurred the ACP costs. For example, under Lugar, the ACP monies would be paid to the power company's states, and states were directed to use such funds to increase clean energy production and offset ratepayer impacts.
Environmental Options
Republicans and a number of Democrats are interested in addressing EPA's authority to regulate GHG emissions under the CAA. EPA's permitting program for new and modified sources emitting GHGs above certain thresholds, and requiring application of still-undefined Best Available Control Technology, began on Jan. 2, 2011. EPA has also announced plans to begin issuing GHG performance standards under Section 111 of the Clean Air Act for new and existing stationary source categories such as power plants this summer, with final regulations expected beginning in 2012.
There are only a few issues associated with potential legislation to address EPA's authority to regulate GHGs under the CAA. Republicans are seeking to permanently bar EPA from regulating GHGs under the CAA, and some are also seeking to bar GHG issues from entering federal policymaking through other mechanisms such as the National Environmental Policy Act. In turn, many of the Democrats supporting such legislation are seeking only a two-year stay of EPA's GHG regulatory authority under the CAA. However, delay doesn't really resolve the underlying issues.
Industry, environmental groups, members of Congress and the past two administrations have all said over the years that addressing power plant emissions with a

1/28/13 Justin Bieber Assault with Nerf Gun
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, January 28, 2013
"Snow White and the Huntsman" director RUPERT SANDERS is getting divorced. His wife, Liberty Ross, filed last week. They'd been married for 10 years and have a 7-year-old daughter and a 5-year-old son. --Of course, this is a direct result of Rupert's little grope-fest with KRISTEN STEWART over the summer. A source says, quote, "Liberty is the kind of person who wouldn't really ever get over it." --Despite recent break-up rumors, it appears that Kristen and ROBERT PATTINSON are still together.
Olympic skier LINDSEY VONN isn't addressing speculation that she's dating TIGER WOODS. Her rep says, quote, "Lindsey is currently in the midst of the World Cup season in Europe. --Her focus is solely on competing and on defending her titles and thus she will not participate in any speculation surrounding her personal life at this time."
A woman in Ottawa filed a police report against JUSTIN BIEBER for assault. With a NERF GUN. --Justin was having a Nerf gun fight with his brother and sister at an arena before a concert, when one of the darts hit a female employee at the venue. She flipped out and went to the police, who are apparently taking this seriously. --A source says they've interviewed several people at the arena.
Kim Kardashian has offered Kris Humphries either $10 million or not a red cent to settle their divorce, depending on which report you're reading. --According to TMZ, Kris asked for $7 million, but Kim rejected that offer. And now they say that she's looking for him to pay her attorney's fees. The reasoning -- Kris has dragged this thing out so long that her lawyer bills have gotten out of hand. --But Radar Online reports that Kim offered Kris $10 million, which he rejected.
1/25/13 Tiger Has Moved On
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, January 25, 2013
Earlier this week we heard that TIGER WOODS was desperate to get his ex-wife ELIN NORDEGREN back. But maybe he's actually moved on. --The "Star" tabloid claims that he's been dating Olympic skier LINDSEY VONN since November. A source says, quote, "He wants to marry again, and thinks Lindsey could be the woman." Lindsey is 28 . . . Tiger is 37. --Lindsey just got divorced last month, but she split from her husband, fellow skier THOMAS VONN, over a year ago.
Yesterday we heard rumors JENNIFER LOPEZ and MARC ANTHONY hooked up. Now we have this: Marc and his girlfriend Shannon de Lima just broke up this month. His rep confirmed it. --No word if there's a connection.
ROBERT KARDASHIAN'S widow Ellen recently released Robert's old journals . . . which reportedly included a story about KRIS JENNER beating up KIM KARDASHIAN when she was 9 or 10. --Well, the Kardashian girls are fighting back. --KHLOE Tweeted, quote, "How can such a piece of trash even mention my father's name. You married him on his deathbed when he was not even aware of his surroundings. --You should be hiding in shame for all of the lies you sell to the tabloids. You have no right to even mention our names especially my mother's! We don't know you!!! How dare you spread such lies! You are a disgrace." --Kim added, quote, "10 yrs since dad passed & this woman he married [for] 2 wks before he died needs to get a job instead of trying to destroy my family [with] fake stories." --Then she said, quote, "PS that story that my mom beat me & threatened to kill me hahahhahaha! I'd beat her! [Just kidding] truly laughable!"
Snooki has outed her former cast mate Pauly D. In a recent interview, Snooks revealed that Pauly D once made out with none other than Lindsay Lohan. --Snooki says it happened "about three years ago" when the Jersey Shore cast was in Los Angeles for the first time -- promoting the first season of their MTV series.
1/24/13 J Lo Hooks Up with Marc
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emiy Poyet Webb
Thursday, January 24, 2013
An Internet radio hostess in Charlotte, North Carolina says she had a nasty run-in with JUSTIN BIEBER at her local gym on Tuesday. She says he was rude to her when she introduced herself and asked for a picture . . . then he and another guy made snide comments about her as she continued her workout. He also spit into a bottle, which she accidentally drank out of after he left.
If you try to get with CAMERON DIAZ and she denies you, blame GWYNETH PALTROW. --Britain's "Sun" tabloid claims that Cameron was having a mid-life crisis after her split from ALEX RODRIGUEZ . . . partying and throwing her naughty bits at just about any guy who'd have them. So Gwyneth stepped in. --A source says, quote, "Gwyneth's sorted out everything from finances to hooking her up with her trainer. She has also forced her to swear off sex for a year, saying men distract her focus."
The "New York Post" claims that JENNIFER LOPEZ hooked up with her ex-husband MARC ANTHONY during a recent trip to the city. She'd left boyfriend Casper Smart back in L.A. --Supposedly, they spend more than two and a half hours together in his hotel. Marc was the first one to emerge . . . quote, "He came out really quickly, with his head down, like he didn't want to be seen." --J-Lo came out later, disheveled, but with, quote, "a smug grin on her face."
If LINDSAY LOHAN thought "The Canyons" was going to revive her acting career, this is going to come as a blow. The South By Southwest Film Festival has reportedly passed on it. And that's after Sundance did the same. --A source at South By Southwest says there are, quote, "quality issues" with the movie, and it has, quote, "an ugliness and a deadness to it."
We heard LINDSAY LOHAN turned down a $550,000 offer to do "Dancing With the Stars" because she thinks she's above reality TV. --But according to a new report, her advisers turned it down because they don't think she can handle live television. --A source says, quote, "Lindsay has been a mess on movie sets lately. She doesn't show up on time, she keeps everyone waiting and so her team decided that there was no way that she could handle the pressure of a live show like 'Dancing With the Stars'."
1/23/13 Beyonce Lip-Synced
Find me on Faccebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, January 23, 2013
A spokeswoman for the Marine Corps Band came out yesterday and said that BEYONCÉ lip-synced her rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" at PRESIDENT OBAMA'S inauguration on Monday. But a Marine Corps spokesman issued a statement saying that no one in the band knows whether she sang live or not. He did admit that the BAND didn't play . . . because they didn't have time to properly rehearse with her.
It's been over a year since MARIA SHRIVER filed for divorce from ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER . . . and apparently, he still wants her back. --He reportedly told a German newspaper, quote, "We're not fighting any war. I still hope for reconciliation. I still love Maria."
As you know, Lindsay Lohan fired her lawyer, Shawn Holley last week, out of nowhere. Now, Lindsay has realized she made a mistake and has begged Holley to come back. But TMZ is reporting that Holley is having none of it. They say she is in the process of filling out paperwork and getting the necessary signatures to officially withdraw from the case ... before Lindsay's hearing on January 30. –By the way, Lindsay hired Mark Heller, a New York lawyer who is not licensed to practice in California.
1/22/13 LiLo Turns Down "Dancing"
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, January 22, 2013
YouPorn.com has released a list of the Top 11 Most-Searched Celebrities on their site in 2012. --Even though it's been YEARS since her porno flick came out, KIM KARDASHIAN is still #1. Paris Hilton came in third, followed by Pamela Anderson. And HULK HOGAN made the list . . . proving that people will watch video of ANY celebrity having sex, no matter how hideous. --He's the only GUY on the list, by the way.
PRINCE HARRY admits he screwed up when photos of his NAKED BILLIARDS shenanigans hit the web last year. He says, quote, "At the end of the day I probably let myself down, I let my family down, I let other people down." --But he also thinks HE was a victim . . . quote, "At the end of the day, I was in a private area and there should be a certain amount of privacy . . . The way I was treated . . . I don't think is acceptable."
SHERYL CROW dated LANCE ARMSTRONG from 2003 to 2006. They were even engaged before they broke up. Have you ever wondered whether Sheryl knew what was propelling Lance to all those Tour de France wins? --Well, there are new reports that Sheryl DID know Lance was doping. That's according to Lance's former teammate FRANKIE ANDREU and his wife BETSY. --Both of them mentioned Sheryl in affidavits they submitted to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. --In those documents they claim that some years back, Lance called Frankie to his hotel room to ask him for a favor. He wanted Betsy to sign a statement retracting her earlier claim that Lance had admitted to a doctor that he was doping. --And they both say that Sheryl was IN THE ROOM when the conversation went down. --Lance didn't mention Sheryl during his interview with OPRAH WINFREY last week. And Sheryl hasn't spoken since the interview, either.
Dancing with the Stars just offered Lindsay Lohan more than a half-million dollars to compete next season, but TMZ is reporting that she turned them down. Reality TV, from her warped perspective, is beneath her. Even if a reality show would mean cashing out $550,000 for only a few weeks of dancing. That amount of money could pay her IRS back taxes and her attorney, who's kept Lindsay out of jail all this time. She's apparently too vain to grasp for a lifeline when it's tossed her way.

Mammograms can help find breast cancer early. You have a better chance of surviving breast cancer if it's found and treated early.
What is a mammogram?A mammogram is an x-ray of the breast. Mammograms use a very low level of x-rays, which are a type of radiation. A mammogram is very safe.
When you get mammograms, the nurse will place your breasts, one at a time, between 2 plastic plates and take pictures of them. Mammograms can be uncomfortable for some women, but they don't hurt.
It takes only about 20 minutes to get mammograms.
What if the doctor finds something wrong with my breast?Mammograms let the doctor or nurse look for small lumps inside your breast. If a lump is found, you will need other tests to find out if it's cancer.
The doctor or nurse may take a small bit of tissue from the lump for testing. This is called a biopsy ("BY-op-see").
What is breast cancer?Abnormal (unusual) cells in the breast can turn into cancer. Breast cancer can spread to other parts of the body.
About 1 in 8 women born today in the United States will get breast cancer. After skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common kind of cancer in women. The good news is that many people can survive breast cancer if it's found and treated early.
Talk with your doctor or nurse if you notice any of these changes:
To learn more about breast cancer:
Find out when and how often to get mammograms.
Talk with your doctor. For women ages 40 to 49, talk with your doctor about when to start getting mammograms and how often to get them.
For women ages 50 to 74, talk with your doctor about getting mammograms every 2 years. You may choose to get them more often.
Together, you and your doctor can decide what's best for you.
What about cost?The Affordable Care Act, the health care reform law passed in 2010, covers mammograms for women over age 40. Depending on your insurance plan, you may be able to get mammograms at no cost to you.
Check with your insurance company to find out what's included in your plan. For information about other services covered by the Affordable Care Act, visit HealthCare.gov.
If you don't have private insurance, you can still get mammograms.
Get support.Use these tips to get support when you get mammograms.
Make sure to ask when you will get your mammogram results. When you get the results, ask the doctor or nurse to explain what the results mean.
Get active.Physical activity increases your chances of living longer. Exercise may help prevent breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and heart disease.
Get your well-woman visit every year.Talk to your doctor or nurse about other important screenings and services to help you stay healthy.

Microsoft's New CEO Signals Radical Shift
Though Wall Street may not thoroughly rally around Satya Nadella to succeed Steve Ballmer as CEO at Microsoft, I believe this so-called "safe choice" is a compelling one because it signals a radical shift in management style at the company. Nadella is described as smart, persuasive and likeable. He's also known as a great...

Looking for earrings you can wear with everything? These earrings feature a swirl of sterling silver in a size that will make them your 'to go' earrings. Elegant and unique, they enhance everything from jeans to a simple black dress and - best of all! - match every piece of sterling silver jewelry you own. Moreover, they are made from recycled sterling silver, which minimizes impact on the earth without sacrificing quality. These versatile earrings measure approximately 1" long x 1" wide and have sterling silver posts and earnuts. Made in America.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

I love how a prot warrior can miss his shield bash and still silence me for 4 seconds.
Any thoughts on how the changes are gonna affect your spec? So far I'm not liking some of the things that are different in the Prot tree, as far as PvP is concerned.
I'm sure everyone's having gear issues with the gem changes. Not sure why they didn't refund them, or change them all to mastery, or keep them the same color, or tailor it to your class, but I'm also sure I'm not the first to say any of that.
I'm finding myself having rage issues in PvP as prot, at least against casters. I skipped the shield specialization talent in trying to mimic my last spec when I only had 2 points in it, without really reading it, and now I'm realizing that was a terrible idea, and it also appears they're planning to make blocking more important for warriors in Cataclysm anyway, judging from the so-far-lackluster Mastery we've been given.
How much resilience should we be shooting for now?
I mostly wanted to bring up the talents from the other two trees, and a couple iffy prot talents:
- War Academyhttp://www.wowhead.com/spell=84572
Before the patch, I'd be tempted to say that if you take War Academy as prot, I'm probably going to find your car and pee on the door handle. The only reason I don't say that, is that I've yet to see how these HS/Cleave/VR mechanic changes are going to affect things for either PvE or PvP.
- Field Dressinghttp://www.wowhead.com/spell=84580
Field Dressing is a no-brainer raiding talent, and could be great for PvP if you have a healer around. For arena, fresh, but for BGs it's probably a waste.
- Blitzhttp://www.wowhead.com/spell=80977Fury
Blitz seems awesome for PvP, at least situationally. I would really like to know what range the nearby person has to be in. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem worth it to drop talents into this as Prot when you never know when it's going to come in handy and it's relatively useless for PvE aside from building initial rage. Arms, sure, but probably not Prot. I wish it applied to Intercept as well, or increased the stun time, or the second point stunned more people or something. It's also good for pressuring Philip Rivers to throw the ball away.
- Blood Crazehttp://www.wowhead.com/spell=16492
The math on Blood Craze makes it a little less enticing than I initially thought, although having it in the first tier and not dependent on crits had me pretty excited. If you have 40k health, that's 3k HP per proc, a little more with FD from Arms. Again, awesome for your healer in long fights, but kinda unpredictable in PvP. If it wasn't a HoT, maybe, but chances are, it's not gonna proc when you want it to, and if you're about to die and it does proc, you're probably gonna die anyway if you're only getting 3k and it takes 5 seconds.
- Battle Trancehttp://www.wowhead.com/spell=85742
The proc rate on Battle Trance is kinda the question here. Rage starvation can definitely be a problem in arena if nobody's focusing you because you're prot. Not sure how much Sentinel will help that in PvP. 15% chance is pretty decent, and a lot of our abilities cost more now without the old talents.
- Crueltyhttp://www.wowhead.com/spell=12852Prot
More crit. Okay, Cruelty's not that simple anymore. There's twice as much crit, BUUUUUT it's now limited to Shield Slam. 10% more for SS is pretty sexy for that last second PvP burst, and this is definitely the only talent I can say WILL improve your DPS and WILL NOT screw up your rotation. However, the question is simply whether or not it's worth it.
- Impending Victoryhttp://www.wowhead.com/spell=80129
Here's the question: How often are you going to be hitting Devastate on somebody under 20%; and is 5% health half of those hits going to be worth it? Kinda good for saving your ass when you're both low on health. Probably worth it, and useful on bosses if your healers are getting worn out.
- Incitehttp://www.wowhead.com/spell=50687
Anyone have any insight (badum-chh) on how important HS will be for prot in either PvE or PvP now that it's, you know, different?
- Thunderstruckhttp://www.wowhead.com/spell=80980
AC/DC jokes aside, Thunderstruck makes it seem like they want us to use Rend and Thunder Clap a lot more often. I'm ambivalent on how much a 6% dmg increase on any of those will help things, and the Shockwave buff is really the only part that helps us in PvP. This is definitely a talent meant to combine with Blood and Thunder to help our AoE tanking, but with less points to throw around, spending 4 pts on those talents is a lot, with little benefit to PvP.
- Blood and Thunderhttp://www.wowhead.com/spell=84615
Great for tanking trash, and pretty much the only reason to hit Rend, but this seems more like a talent for Arms warriors to grab. Rend just doesn't do enough, and in PvP i doubt you'll be around enough people to waste two GCD to Rend everyone.
- Vigilancehttp://www.wowhead.com/spell=50720
Now that it doesn't help with threat, Vig is really only good for helping out a squishy that's getting hit by something. In arena, I can see grabbing this, but for BGs people are dying too much to keep picking random suckas to put it on.
- Safeguardhttp://www.wowhead.com/spell=46949Before the patch, I had given up some prot talents for some increased dps, but these changes make that a pretty difficult decision. Blood Craze and Field Dressing seem HUGE for raiding, but don't really help so much in PvP, and I'm personally not keen on having two separate prot specs for PvP/PvE and no dps spec. Well, maybe.
One that hasn't changed, but its importance is debatable with less points to toss about. For arena, it's great if you get good at keeping an eye on your teammates, but maybe Intervene is good enough without Safeguard to put those points somewhere else. But if you skip both Vigilance and Safeguard your ability to save the one squish who keeps dying is pretty nerfed.
Stat priority?
What weapon enchants do you plan to use? Now with no ArP, Executioner is 120 crit. How does Mongoose suffer from the Agility changes? Blade Ward benefits from Hold the Line, but I never understood why I'd want to choose Blade Ward anyway. Blood Draining might be okay for PvP survivability but 2k health is meh. As Prot, you can probably stomach the 5% armor drop from Berserking, if that's still what it is.

PVP prot talent tree, shield spec is a great talent , in pve you only need 1point, but for pvp you should max it, as you get 60 rage every time you spell reflect and 15 rage every time you block, thats alot of rage from all types of players. The victory rush thing isnt worth taking,its more a pve dungeon ability imo or for when you know you really need it (for eg you playing 2v2 two dps).
PS. I forgot glyphs...
Also some talents i have taken are just filler, as in I had no choice but to take them to get to next tier. Its pretty obvious which are the fillers, and if you feel like changing the fillers feel free to.

"Gnoma Brasi sleeps withs the murlocs"
looks like ya went up to 85 too.
not sure, but i think i'm gonna go with the long charge glyph instead of intercept stun... personal preference, but i hate being kited and sometimes it seems like they can stay out of charge range.
mine looks like this right now:
i also can't find a definitive answer on the resilience changes. anyone know aside from it not affecting being crit? what's the dmg reduction cap?
Using http://cata.wowhead.com/talent#LZhbZcrhdRRodru
Vigilance is great for the veng stacks, in BG or arenas. Safeguard is too good to skip in BGs IMO; nice utility to keep your flag carriers and healers alive. I should swap Thunderstruck for Impending Victory instead, It would have made a difference in a toe-to-toe match against another melee class, which usually drags on longer than pre-patch.
Gearing is pretty straight forward now, hit > str > crit > resil. Not sure about the resil cap, I'm sitting on 1.1k resiliance in arms spec and that provides 31~% damage reduction.
I haven't come across rage issues in BGs, but I don't spam abilities every GCD like I was before patch - devastate, HS, and shockwave don't do as much damage as before, so most of the time I'm pooling rage for shield slam. Apart from adding to the concussion blow > shield block + shield slam burst damage, HS don't really have much use since it cost way too much for its damage.
Enchant wise, berserking is solid - in fact anything that buffs SS damage is solid; On-use AP trinkets, Ashen Verdict ring etc.
what about expertise? i have 0 if i'm in all-PvP gear. i don't usually go entirely PvP unless i'm in a large BG and wanna stay alive for more honor, but still... i know exp isn't a priority, but how much of a waste would it be to gem/reforge for a tiny amount?
vengeance is kinda weird for prot pvp, because ultimately you need to take 200% of your health in damage before you can get to 10% of your health in AP. great if you've got good heals, but in BGs there might not be anyone around you... i can see how vigilance helps a little, but my problem is simply that in BGs if i die, or they die, i forget to always have it up on somebody. do either vengeance or vigilance give you rage?
i noticed you didn't take hold the line. i'm already pretty ambivalent about that particular talent, and it definitely seems less useful for pvp... but i'm wondering if it'll hurt me in pve not to take it.
Last edited by Lautoa; 10-18-2010 at 12:50 AM.
The only melee ability that would need expertise is concussion blow; shockwave is ranged, shield slam is semi-spamable and nothing else is on a cooldown. It may matter more in an arena setting where that 1 dodged concussion blow will cost you a kill.
I doubt we can realistically aim for something as high as 10% hp to AP (that's 4k AP with my pvp set) in current PvP contents, even with a healer, it will take one extremely long fight to get to that point, considering how quickly vengeance drops. I have easily got up 800~ AP while a mage is free casting on me (so I know nothing else proc'd to give me AP).
Hold the line doesn't seem to have a very high up-time in PvE, I don't do hard modes, and in normal ICC I'm doing fine without it.
I have a odd question. Ive never done prot and im thinking of keeping my low level for bg. I love bg even with all the shadowstepping rogues now and was wondering what talents should i use? Can anyone help with a rotation. Im usually doing one on one stuff in bg. I might stay at 19 if not i wont move past 29. My toon is tungstenx on norgannon server if you want to look it up on armory and give me suggestions. I would greatly appreciate some decent advice. Tyia
rotation for pvp ... am i only one that had *rotfl* after reading this?
Im sorry i forget that everyones a complete pro at a brand new class when they start it. Ive read alot on here and im sure there our others who just lurk because they get laughed at for asking a question but most of the info is for high level warrs. Thank you for your vast wisdom. Btw the next time your in a low level dungeon and the tank sucks chances are they were afraid to ask for help.
Well...if you want to twink toons for fun and profit, prot warrior (or even arms) is definitely not for you. You'll just be a slow moving meat shield at level 19, without utility or damage to speak of. At 29 you'll have 1 point to choose between Last stand, con blow or warbringer in tier 3 talents. 39 looks promising though, you'll get all the utilities from tier 3 and 1 point to spend on devastate.
Thank you for the helpful info. So far execept for an occasional twinked out rogue im doing well. I can even handle the gone crazy ShS/ambush craze going on right now. But ive bumped into the 20s and im going to see where it takes me. Ive always dps every class ive played. I dont really want to tank dungeons because of too many 12 year olds that dont have patience to know your learning and if they are at all decent they wont die in ragegire chasm...lol. So ill give it to 29 then ill make the decsision to stay prot are go arms.
49 twink prot warrior was kinda fun. i just did it to get achievements before moving on.
my off spec is fury right now, but that kinda screws up my dps gear for pvp because i don't need all that extra hit. so i'm thinking about either going back to arms off-spec, or just having two prot specs for pve/pvp. that way i can just go back to STR. it'd suck for rolling on dps gear in raids but whatever i've got t10/264 to fall back on for the moment.
it sucks to depend on vengeance for the more intense dps... but i guess that's one reason to still wear a bunch of resil instead of pve pieces.
i also decided the imp. victory rush or whatever is stupid. gotta spec out of that soon too.
i'm not going to switch over, because blood elves are dumb... but if you're thinking about rolling a prot warrior for pvp purposes, you might consider a belf or goblin...
Blood Elf
arcane torrent (http://www.wowhead.com/spell=69179)
extra silence, since that's a lot of what you'll be doing to help everyone else in bg/arena. and extra rage, since people probably won't be focusing on you and feeding you rage. i assume it's not on the same DR as any of your other stuff either. so you can probably make a caster shut the hell up until they're dead, or keep a healer from doing anything significant while your team does the killing for you.
Rocket Barrage (http://www.wowhead.com/spell=69041)
not sure how much damage this will actually be doing yet, but could be good to get an extra shot off at someone who's running away or kiting you, or if it's anything like heroic throw, you might be able to cast it mid-charge for a little extra damage during that stun.
Rocket Jump (http://www.wowhead.com/spell=69070)
Prot Warriors already have pretty excellent mobility and this makes it even better. great for saving a teammate, especially if intervene is on cd. hell, you might even get the Quick Cap achievement which i still haven't managed. p.s. i'm wondering if casters will be able to get on top of crates and such in arena and basically snipe you...
Time is Money (http://www.wowhead.com/spell=69042)
Attack speed will be good for prot for rage generation more than damage. Couldn't hurt anything.
although, i'm tauren so i have war stomp and a little extra hp, and i look cooler, so that'll do for me. goblins, it appears, have better racials than any other class now. i almost feel bad for worgen. plus i noticed the new races, in fact even the BC races, have more or better racials than the original eight. and not as much stuff that only helps certain classes (my troll warlock is really gonna benefit from that bow specialization)... maybe they'll hook us up at some point.
oh yeah, and i don't know anything about alliance. i think extra worg speed could help you for mobility, plus extra crit, and nature/shadow resistance... i could be wrong but are they the only race with two resistances? not that resistance is very useful anymore... that's another thing that needs to get buffed...
Last edited by Lautoa; 12-06-2010 at 03:20 AM. Reason: forgot allies existed.
I have recently been using Prot for my pvp spec on my warrior, and I was so used to arms that it is a treat to actually beable to survive and LOL at mages and warlocks that get spell reflected and one shot themselves or the arms warriors that think they can take me on when i just dodge and parry everything. but I would eventually like to go back to Arms, just curious, If I have to use a PvE weapon, all I keep seeing is Haste and Mastery on them. Is haste really that important for an Arms warrior? If not, what stats should I be looking for on the weapon. And as far as prot, I was wondering if I should just lace myself up in Resilience gems, or keep the stam mastery thing i got going on and just get res off the gear.. Thank you for your time.
I'm bumping this for 4.2 because I decide to keep doing pvprot even though it's extremely nerfed. I also had my account closed for a while til recently.
Currently I'm using my tanking weapon with mending on it, but survivability isn't really something to be worried about once I start getting more pvp gear.
I also spend most of my time in Def Stance. Conventional wisdom has always said do Battle Stance for the extra damage, but I feel like I use some of the Def abilities often enough, I'd rather stance dance if I need Hamstring or whatever because Revenge hits pretty hard to make up for some of the dps loss.
I've been doing bg's, and find myself doing a lot of things like just trying to waste the other team's time, occupying a bunch of people while my flag runner's going by, or keeping them busy so they can't cap a node, or whatever. strategic things that don't necessarily net kills but, in my opinion, help the team win.
Anyway, i wanted to talk about enchants. Landslide (http://www.wowhead.com/spell=74246) is the obvious choice... but I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on Hurricane (http://www.wowhead.com/spell=74223) for arenas and whether it might help with rage generation... since that's one of the biggest problems. It's probably not worth it, just a question. While +50 Mastery is the obvious shield ench for PvE, there's not much that's very sexy for PvP, but I do like Pyrium Shield Spike because it makes the mastery you do have more helpful, turning your block chance into palatable dps. Oh, and I use dps enchants instead of pvp enchants on my shoulder/head, by the way.
A while ago I had decent success with the African Turtle Cleave (prot warrior, mm hunter, holy paladin... or sometimes rdruid) comp in arenas. I also was considering hpal/arms/prot or hpal/dk/prot but that might be too much melee. Might try something like that this season.
Oh yeah, and this thread never addressed the second level arms/fury talents for those extra 5 pts after 80, and maybe how some of that will affect the Prot tree. I want feedback because it's a little murkier now that the spec just isn't that good anymore.
- Tactical Mastery
Depends on your play style and how much you stance dance. Rage is pretty important in arenas because you're not going to get focused.
- Second Wind
Normally, this would seem like a no-brainer for PvP, to keep you from sitting and watching yourself die while you're stunned, but you shouldn't be dying that easily in the first place. Rage is the attractive part of this talent.
- Deep Wounds
More dps good. Typical 1-hander weapon dmg bad. You'll actually probably getting lots of crits in PvP gear, and if you have points in Hold the Line, Sword and Board, and Incite. I'd have to see some numbers on how much damage this talent would actually add.
- Drums of War
Seems lame, BUT for arenas, part of your job is going to be laying down Demo. Shout and throwing out Int. Shout aaaaand Pummel, Pummel, Pummel (I miss Shield Bash dearly). Not to mention, Challenging Shout can be good for taunting nearby pets without having to take the time to target them. Pet walks by, Challenging Shout, Thunder Clap, takes the pain out of the ass of your teammate. I'd love to hear some feedback on this.
- Executioner
If you're in BS and you're trying to kill someone off, Execute is nice, but from experience in my Fury spec, the buff falls off too fast... This talent is designed for finishing off raid bosses... for PvP it's hard to get more than one or two stacks before somebody dies or gets healed out of being able to keep hitting Execute, plus in Prot you're changing targets a lot, and if it were an attack power buff or something it'd be good for bursting somebody down, but attack speed probably isn't gonna help you besides getting a little extra rage.
- Booming Voice
Rage is pretty cool.
- Rude Interruption
You're going to be doing a lot of interrupting, and this could really help you finish off a caster. Wish it proc'd off Heroic Throw too, but obviously it's not designed for us.
- Piercing Howl
Classic PvP talent. My problem is I always forget to use it and am hesitant to waste a GCD on it when I'm trying to burst. Always good for kiting classes when your stuns/int. shout/hamstring and charge/intercept/hleap have all been used up, or for rogues trying to get behind you.There are some changes in Cataclysm that might affect your approach to this.
- Last Stand
Now that all warriors have Rallying Cry, this point seems a big question mark and I say ditch it if you have a dedicated PvProt spec. Anyone argue with that? 10 seconds more health to yourself vs. Team boost for 10 sec. less. Especially since you're not likely getting focused, you're gonna find yourself using Rallying Cry in arena to save somebody else more than yourself.
- Hold the Line
We've seen mastery being huge for PvE, so Hold the Line is def for that. But it's more about the crit boost than the critblock boost in PvP and this is one of the only ways to get any extra dps out of whatever parry you get from Str. Any thoughts?
- Shield Specialization
Not that important in PvE because you're probably not gonna have too serious rage problems tanking, but in PvP this could help. However, the 25 sec (20 glyphed) cooldown isn't sexy.
You might not even get into the second level of Arms or Fury talents if you wanna take 5 from each. I still am not a huge fan of the Thunderstruck/Blood and Thunder talents.
Feedback, please! I might be a total idiot and wrong about everything, you know.

prot... you won't need more resilience, stam, or mastery than you get off the gear. you're already gonna be tough to kill, getting maximum burst dps is the hard part. don't gem or reforge for survival AT ALL. in fact, i reforge the mastery into crit/haste and wish i could do that with resil.And as far as prot, I was wondering if I should just lace myself up in Resilience gems, or keep the stam mastery thing i got going on and just get res off the gear.. Thank you for your time.

The automatic waterer drinker our competitors don't want you to know about!
And Here's Why……..
Our philosophy here at the Bar-Bar-A Horse is that water and electricity don't mix. Add a horse into the equation and you can imagine the potential for danger and problems.
The reason we do not need electricity for our livestock water feeders is that there is no standing water in the unit. The unit is either filling or draining. As a result there is no water left to freeze in the winter or get scalding hot in the summer. With no standing water there is no possibility for slimy algae growth. This means that you don't have the weekly cleaning of algae found in horse tanks and even other automatic animal waterers.
One of the main purposes of purchasing an automatic waterer drinker is to limit the amount of work in watering your animals. Why buy an automatic waterer drinker just so you can clean algae every week from stagnant water?
Bar-Bar-A has been successfully watering horses the easy way for over 25 years. Horses learn quickly and have ready access to fresh water. In the summertime hot water in traditional automatic waterer drinker, tanks, or buckets, limit water consumption. Decreased water consumption results in more trips to the Vet and limited mental and body function.
In the winter animals have the same problem of proper water consumption with the standing water exposed to the icy frigid air. Because the source water for our units comes from a buried water line, the temperature of the water is consistent. In the winter the water is much warmer than standing water and in the summer the water is much cooler.
Whether you are in the hot hill country of Texas or the frosty New York Adirondacks, Bar-Bar-A gives your horses what they need- Clean, Fresh, Water at the right temperature- and all this without algae and without electricity.
Horses- enjoy fresh tasting water without all the algae that can grow in stagnant standing water. From 4 models to choose from you can customize to fit your situation.
Happy Watering With Your Very Own Automatic Horse Waterer Drinker System.
And…. Electric Blackouts and You're Still in Business

Personally, given the sizable cost of the tier pieces and the other great upgrades (compared to the aforementioned small upgrade of the sigil) I won't be getting it for months either. Ha.
I think it may stack up relatively quickly, definitely for DPS, and maybe a little slower for tanks. Off the top of my head, with Chill of the Thrown I'm sitting around 45% avoidance with raid buffs? Several of the bosses so far have nice quick attacks so without having a log to parse I think I've been getting about 50-60% melee-to-RS turnover, so it would take roughly 20-30 seconds to get the full stack, and a little less to approximate or pass the value you get from the previous sigil on a chance proc.

If you have already checked in for the flight you wish to change, please first cancel your check-in under 'Online check-in'.
If you would like to change the time of your flight, simply call up your booking on LH.com. When you have logged in, select your LH.com booking from your booking list.

Stamp Block Quilt Project
By: Gai Perry for C&T Publishing
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
40 different small blocks of fabric make up this stamp quilt from C&T Publishing. With so many different fabrics, you won't need a color scheme and can use up any scraps from your fabric stash.
This project comes form Gai Perry's book Color From the Heart.
You will need a half yard of an outer border fabric and an eighth yard of an inner border fabric, but wait until the main body of the quilt is complete before making your selections.
Cut 3 squares 2″ x 2″ from each of the 40 fabrics for a total of 120 squares. Put all the squares in a lunch-size paper bag and shake it to mix the fabrics.
Begin the Design:
Following the same procedure, add 11 more rows (10 squares across) for a total of 12 rows.
You must practice rigid self-control and put the squares up just as they come out of the bag. No peeking!
If you try rearranging the squares at this point, you will defeat the purpose of the exercise. The only reason to exchange a square is when the same fabric appears next to itself.
Ask the following questions about your design:
Is there a pleasing balance of colors? Sometimes several closely related hues will be grouped together and you will have to decide whether they make the quilt look awkward-interesting or awkward-unbalanced. Look for happy accidents like colors or prints that, until now, you would never dream of putting together–and surprisingly, they look good!
If you answered yes to the last question, now is the time to make some changes. Do a little rearranging or add some new squares of fabric and delete others. I caution you not to make any more changes than necessary. If you do, the spontaneous charm of the quilt will be lost. Let your intuition tell you when the quilt "feels right."
When you are pleased with the arrangement of squares, it's time to sew your Postage Stamp quilt.
Sewing Instructions
2. Sew the squares together in the row directly above the bottom row and this time, press all the seam allowances to the right.
3. Working toward the top of the quilt, continue sewing rows of squares together and alternate the pressing direction of the seam allowances from row to row.
4. When all the squares are sewn into rows, join the rows. (Note: Pinning at each seam allowance juncture will produce nicely aligned squares and perhaps save some ripping out and resewing.) Press all these seam allowances either up or down. Pressing them in a single direction will make the quilt top lay flatter.
1. Cut the inner border strips 1 1/4″ wide.
2. Cut the outer border strips 3 1/2″ wide.
3. Attach the borders.
Once the quilt top is assembled, it's ready for quilting. Refer to your reference of choice for quilting and finishing instructions.
Happy Quilting!

Gallery: Who's the most memorable S.I. model?
Now would seem like a good time as ever to look back at the 10 supermodels who left indelible marks in the minds of red-blooded males across the globe.
10. Brooklyn Decker
Cover: 2010
Andy Roddick's better half parlayed her appearances in the annual issue into a successful career in movies and television, including roles in Just Go With It and Battleship.
9. Paulina Porizkova
Covers: 1984, 1985
The Kate Upton of the pre-internet age, Porizkova is still the youngest model to earn the cover, when she appeared in the 1984 issue at the age of 18.
8. Marisa Miller
Cover: 2008
Miller may just have one cover to her name so far, but she certainly made it count. In 2008, the reveal of her cover lead to 228 million pageviews for Sports Illustrated's website, a record at the time.
7. Daniela Pestova
Covers: 1995, 2000, 2006
Perhaps not the household name that some of the other models on this list are, but the Czech model is just one of five women to have been on the cover three times.
6. Kathy Ireland
Covers: 1989, 1992, 1994
Kathy Ireland made her first appearance in Swimsuit way back in 1984 and from there she was featured in the annual issue for the next 13 consecutive years. The 1989 issue on which she appears on the cover is still the highest-selling Swimsuit Issue of all-time. Not bad for a placekicker from a small school in Texas.
5. Kate Upton
Covers: 2012, 2013
Ms. Upton may not be able to even buy her own drinks yet (not that she would have to), but she's already been named covergirl for the last two years. The sky seems to be the limit for her, and in five years time, she may very well be the #1 model on this list.
4. Tyra Banks
Covers: 1996, 1997
Tyra Banks became the first African-American model to appear not only on the cover of the Swimsuit Issue, but also GQ. She would go on to achieve superstardom on daytime TV, as the host of her own talk show and as the host and producer of 'America's Next Top Model'.
3. Christie Brinkley
Covers: 1979, 1980, 1981
The 'Uptown Girl' was the first supermodel to three-peat on the cover, appearing as the face (and body) of the Swimsuit Issue from 1979-1981 and was also featured in the first S.I. calendar.
2. Cheryl Tiegs
Covers: 1970, 1975, 1983
Considered America's first 'supermodel', she appeared three times on the cover. In addition to this, a 1978 poster of her in a pink bikini became an iconic 1970s pop culture image.

Dale: Piano Music
CDA67827 Composers of World War I
Movement 1: Allegro deciso
Movement 2a: Molto adagio
Movement 2b: Variation 1
Movement 2c: Variation 2. Molto adagio
Movement 2d: Variation 3. Allegretto con grazia
Movement 2e: Variation 4. Adagio maestoso
Movement 2f. Scherzo: Variation 5. Presto
Movement 2g: Variation 6. Tempo di Mazurka
Movement 2h: Variation 7. Prestissimo
Movement 2i: Andante
Movement 2j. Finale: Molto allegro Lento
Its merits were so apparent to his [Dale's] fellow-musicians that they felt the imperative necessity of having it published … At last, owing to … quite a group of unusually talented young men just then with works of a similar tendency, the Society of British Composers was formed, with the intention of doing for England what Belaieff had done for Russia—undertaking the publication of high-class music of a non-commercial kind, [since] sale of such music could only prove remunerative after a long time, if at all.
This marked the inception of the so-called 'Charles Avison Edition' under the aegis of Breitkopf & Härtel. Later the imprint passed to Cary and, lastly, Novello. Avison issued Dale's Sonata in 1906, the year in which the pianist Mark Hambourg organized a competition to identify outstanding new works which he would then play. This attracted some sixty entrants and Dale's Sonata emerged the winner; but Hambourg, a pianist viewed somewhat askance by less flamboyant self-publicists in the profession, fought shy of the daunting outer movements, playing only the central variations and reportedly taking liberties even with these. Taken by surprise, the composer declined to join Hambourg on stage. Nonetheless, in addition to Bowen's advocacy the Sonata was taken up by such pianists as Benno Moiseiwitsch, Moura Lympany, Myra Hess and Irene Scharrer (in the last three cases one notes the dynastic link back to Matthay and the RAM). By the 1930s it had largely faded from view; what we might see post hoc as a kind of Edwardian opulence would have sat uncomfortably within the inter-war 'Age of Anxiety' and in the cold light of all that followed. Not until the freshly pioneering advocacy of Peter Jacobs with Continuum Records in 1992 did the Sonata make a significant reappearance.
Commentators have stressed the forbidding technical challenges of this eclectic music. While seldom if ever testing the outer limits of virtuosity, it operates at a consistent level of intricacy which imposes its own demands upon stamina and concentration. Although some of its climactic moments reflect the Neuhaus aperçu quoted earlier, frequently the swirling arpeggiation and rich variety of gesture imply an attempted pianistic parallel to Wagnerian and Straussian orchestration, thus carrying the illusion of symphonic transcription to new places. At the same time, as with Bowen, a certain artless candour about salient musical subjects and secondary elements (such as the interrelated fanfare figures heard in both outer movements) suggests shrewdly selective awareness of the four ambitious sonatas by the American composer Edward MacDowell, written between 1891 and 1900.
In Dale's case, sure-footed keyboard invention is matched by a strikingly far-sighted command of large-scale design. The danger inherent in such tonally discursive music, full of Straussian pivotings, modulations and semitonal sidesteps, is that beneath them the central supporting pillars of diatonic thinking and sonata key relationships will collapse or simply become undetectable. Much depends on the pianist's capacity to maintain forward propulsion even when textures are so replete as to insist on slowing the pace of events. Nonetheless, Dale maintains a steely grip on cyclical organization, embedding motifs which are readily recognizable upon their recurrence in later variations or movements. The opening two notes, leaping up from fifth to tonic of the D minor scale, later generate a quasi-Brucknerian dotted idea, heard at intervals and coming into its own in the first movement's tempestuous closing bars; this then reappears prominently in variation 5, a scherzo placed (like the variations as a whole) in G sharp minor so that the motif articulates the furthest available tonality from the work's sovereign key. In amended form it reappears back in D minor in the closing bars of the work, as a funereal drumbeat.
Dale's idea of a set of variations embracing several enclosed genre pieces was one used with success by Glazunov in his first Piano Concerto (albeit some years later, in 1911), where the last of the variations is a 'finale' that reprises elements of the first movement while also serving as a climactic, extended 'coda'. Glazunov, working symphonically but also within the balletic tradition, integrated variations into a number of works, as did Scriabin in his Piano Concerto and, somewhat later, Medtner in the first and third of his. Dale's resourcefulness appears to grow as his variations progress, hinting at a balletic subtext in variations 3 and 6 but offsetting these with some weighty slow meditations and two quicksilver scherzos (variations 5 and 7). The former of this pair nods at Chopin and Saint-Saëns; the latter extends into a solemn Andante via a prominent transformation of the Sonata's opening theme. Here the composer's complex tonal scheme is perceptibly indebted to Liszt, while the music itself seems to look back to the emotional language of Schumann's C major Fantasy, as well as to Wagner's Liebestod and even sideways at Elgar, whose symphonies and concertos still lay ahead of him: for Dale seems to anticipate as much as he emulates.
The Andante launches the last of the variations, the finale of the work as a whole. More formidable in its demands but achieving an intermittent lightness of touch that binds it to its predecessors, this rondo-based music revisits and recasts many ideas from earlier in the Sonata, burning itself out finally in a furious upwards burst of arpeggiation before a sombre epilogue restores D minor. If the debt to Liszt's B minor Sonata is plain here, so too is the unflagging inventiveness of a young composer still processing and integrating his organic sonata material right to the final bar (where an overt tribute to Liszt's Sonata is surely intended).

Pairing brings out flavor
WTOP's Neal Augenstein speaks with Yi Wah Roberts about pairing pickles and beer.
Neal Augenstein,
ARLINGTON, Va. - The garlic hits you as you walk in the door.
The dill, coriander and other pungent pickling flavors are deliciously evident during a visit to the Number 1 Sons pickle factory in North Arlington.
Brother-sister team Yi Wah and Caitlin Roberts don't limit their fermenting to cucumbers. They're also producing kimchis and krauts in their unassuming factory off North Washington Boulevard.
While most people are familiar with the combination of beer and hot dogs or peanuts, Number 1 Sons is pairing beer with pickles.
"They're two things that make people very happy," says Yi Wah Roberts, prying open a barrel of pickles for a taste test.
Pairing pickles and beers makes sense, says Roberts.
"They're both fermented foods," says Yi Wah Roberts. "They seem to have an affinity for each other. Alcohol likes big flavors and sometimes it likes the sort of acid that the pickles bring to the party."
Caitlin Roberts says pickles are an alternative to typical bar food.
"It's healthy. It's crunchy. It's not greasy," say the Roberts.
"I'm a girl, I think about what I'm eating. So I like knowing I'm eating something that's good for me when I'm enjoying some beer," she said.
Her brother said choosing the correct beer depends on the style of the pickle.
For milder Cori half-sours, the Roberts say a crisp lager works well.
"It doesn't fill you up and the flavor's not so big that you find it overwhelming," Roberts said.
In tasting the spicier District Dills, fermented in an onion-based brine with coriander and allspice, "we can do a more full-bodied beer - not quite a porter, but maybe a light IPA."
Spicy with garlic and chili, the Kicky Kosher offers options like a light, easy to drink beer, or a sweeter beer or hard cider.
"See how the sweet and spicy combination really goes well together," Yi Wah Roberts says.
The newest pickle, Tailgate Mambo, is an invention using spices with a mambo sauce, a popular flavor in the D.C. area.
"You get a lot of layers of flavors, because they're fermented," says Caitlin Roberts. "You get the spicy, and the smoky, and the cinnamon all at different times."
Yi Wah Roberts recommends pairing an IPA with the bold flavor.
"You have the hoppy-ness to go with the pickle's flavor, and it's almost like eating barbecue and drinking beer together," he says.
Number 1 Sons will be participating in beer and pickle pairing at D.C. Brau on Saturday, March 30.
The company's products are available at local farmers markets.
