Book Description Continuing his major work on strategy and tactics in modern chess, the internationalyl renowned Grandmaster, Ludek Pachman, now turns his attention to the play of the pawns and the achievement of control of the center squares. Though the pawns are the weakest pieces in chess, their importance in determining the character of the attack (and defense) and the development of strategic play cannot be underestimated. Pawns are essential to the protection of important squares and pieces. They are the best means of blockading enemy pawns and when correctly deployed, their advance can open vital files and diagonals, thereby creating weaknesses in the opposite position. Despite its limited power, the pawn has one special advantage over other pieces in that it can be promoted when it reaches the eighth rank; a successful pawn advance can completely change the balance of power and the outcome of a game. Pawns have aptly been described as "the soul of chess." Vital of chess mastery is a basic understanding of the importance of control of the center squares. The effectiveness of the pieces depend upon the strength of their position and center control creates a vital sapatial superiority. The effective play of the pawns and center control have been touched upon on other works, but seldom with the insight and lucidity revealed in this second volume of Pachman's masterwork.

fresh and warming scent
What a clever, clever (and rare) perfume. It genuinely 'turns' on your skin. Starting off with a minty few moments, it gradually settles into a gorgeous oakwood base with hints of a faraway sweetness. Made with ingredients that have been around for centuries, like oak and hay absolutes, which warm the scent up, and mint on top to keep it fresh. Masterpiece.
- Calm before the storm: Combines the fresh feeling of rain with a darker, smokier character as it warms on the skin.
- Peppermint oil: Strong, fresh fragrance and gives a cooling effect to the skin.
- Main notes: Oakwood, hay, beeswax, nettle, English peppermint, mint and Roman chamomile.

Hiram Walker Special Old
Review: Hiram Walker Special Old Canadian Rye Whisky (91/100)
a review By Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Posted July 4 2010
Hiram Walker Special Old Canadian Rye Whisky, is part of the stable of Canadian whiskies produced and owned by Corby Distilling Ltd. I was presented with a bottle of this whisky about eleven weeks ago by the Brand Ambassador for Corby and Wiser's, Robert Carson. This was part of a larger allotment of samples which was provided when they learned I planned to do a series of reviews of their whiskies on my blog. The bottle is labeled as a Canadian Rye Whisky and is bottle at 40 % alcohol by volume.
In the Bottle: 4/5
As you can see from the picture on the right, Hiram Walker Special Old arrives in a rectangular shaped bottle. I like the textured glass and the sleek professional label. There is an element of class which exudes from the whisky as it sits on my shelf beside my other whiskies. A black plastic cap crowns the presentation. This is a relatively inexpensive whisky, and as such I am very satisfied with the presentation.
In the Glass 9/10
The whisky has an immediately apparent rye note as soon as the bottle is opened. As I pour the whisky I also catch strong fruity accents, a dash of corn, and a mild vanilla arriving off of the pour. The colour of the whisky is a rich coppery brown reminiscent of old Macintosh toffee. In fact I believe I can smell some of that old toffee in the air as well. I sense a lot of complexity on the nose. As I let the whisky sit, the rye aroma subdues and note of citrus fruit, bourbon, and vanilla becomes more apparent as well as a deepening of the toffee. The nose is robust and my appetite for the whisky has been whetted.
In the Mouth 54.5/60
Omigosh! The whisky fairly explodes into the mouth full of dry aggressive flavour and spice. Rye, toffee, and citrus fruit all seem to jump onto the palate at once and battle for supremacy. A thin layer of honey underneath provides a counterbalance, and a nice wave of oak spice is inter-wound throughout the delivery. When I took my second mouthful a rich cornfield appeared under the flavour profile which unwound a ribbon of bourbon into the whisky as well. The final result is a very good tasting whisky. I like the aggressiveness of the spices and the boldness of the taste profile. I might have scored this higher yet, but in the final analysis I found the fruit rather than the rye tended to dominate. I prefer rye to be the dominant flavour in a Canadian whisky, but perhaps I am being a little niggly.
In the Throat 13.5/15
The finish for Hiram Walker Special Old is as bold and dry as the delivery which is again full of spices, rye and citrus accents. Yet.. there is such a nice smoothness in the finish as well with no severe burn to spoil the ending. Again my temptation is to score this perhaps just a touch higher,
The Afterburn 10/10
I think this is a grand Canadian Whisky! Throughout the review I was tempted to score each area just a tad higher; but, I kept talking myself out of it. Finally here in the 'Afterburn', I am going to make amends. The boldness of the flavour really appeals to me, especially in the finish which was so nice and smooth in spite of the aggressiveness of the whisky.
You may read some of my other Whisky Reviews (click the link) if you wish to have some comparative reviews.
Suggested Recipes
Most of my sampling with this whisky was done neat, with the whisky at room temperature, and as such this is my first suggestion for your enjoyment of Hiram Walker Special Old. A bit of ice is also nice but unnecessary. I also want to suggest a cocktail, and a highball drink. The cocktail is a modification of the Martini, made with Hiram Walker Special Old Rye and Grand Curacao which I called the Hiram Walker Rye-Tini:
Hiram Walker Rye-Tini
1 3/4 oz Hiram Walker Special Old Canadian Rye Whisky
1 1/2 tsp. Grand Curacao
1 dash Angostura Bitters
1 tsp sugar syrup
Shake all of the ingredients in a metal shakes with ice
Strain into a suitable cocktail glass
Garnish with a lemon slice
I'll go next with a great highball dink called the Horses Neck. A 'Horse's Neck' may not sound very appetizing, but trust me is one of the smoothest and tastiest bar drinks there is.
Horses Neck
2 oz Rye Whisky
4 to 8 oz Ginger Ale
Cracked Ice
peel from one lemon.
Peel a lemon carefully so that it is removed in one continual spiral.
(Hopefully you do a better job than I did!)
Place the spiral in a highball glass
Fill the glass halfway with cracked ice.
Add the rye whisky
Add the ginger ale.
Let the glass sit for several minutes
Serve (preferably with straws)
The name "Horses Neck" apparently stems from the curvature of the lemon peel spiral which is reminiscent of a horses neck, or so I have been told. The drink should be allowed to sit a few minutes prior to consumption to allow the oils from the lemon peel to be soaked into the ginger ale!
Please enjoy responsibly
As always you may interpret the scores I provide as follows.
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing rum or whisky. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be more familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

I just found an unopened bottle of Walker's Special Old from 1969. It still has the old LCBO paper seal on it. It was in the very back of a cupboard all these years, in the dark, and it still looks good to me. Is this anything special to a connoisseur?
March 5, 2012 at 11:54 am
I have been drinking Canadian special Old Whiskey for sometime now. The price is right and the taste I injoy. I would pickup a bottle at First Canadian Place, Toronto. Here is the bad news the LCBO had decided not to carry this brand of Whiskey in there stores. They told me to go to the airport ( duty free )
Sorry No Airport for me.
May 24, 2012 at 9:21 am
That's news. It's still on the shelves at my local LCBO's

I love this whisky for it's price and for it's taste. Every time i have a drink of Special Old i enjoy every sip, especially since it goes down rather smooth.
May 12, 2011 at 10:21 pm
just bought a bottle of this at Calgary duty free, fantastic price.
about to embark on a 'horses neck' ride whilst i read some more of your reviews.
great stuff here my friend, [and in this heavy Hiram bottle] :)

A desolate dialogue between violin and piano commences the ternary-form Adagio whose impassioned central section brings reference to both the introduction and the 'Poco allegro's' first theme. The music winds down to melancholy as the violin melody is accompanied by piano writing suggesting the clangour of tolling bells. A free rondo (Allegro vivo) forms the finale. Its opening idea, a short rhythmic snatch, is reminiscent of Bartók, a composer whom Ferguson greatly admires. Towards the end the momentum is interrupted with a recall of the introduction before the verve of the rondo is re-established for the coda.

Michael Carrick has established himself as one of the most effective midfielders in the Barclays Premier League since his arrival from Tottenham Hotspur in 2006.
Understated, and often underrated, Carrick has become a lynchpin of the United engine room, dictating play with his considered, refined style.
In 2012/13 he gained wider acclaim for his performances, earning a spot in the PFA Premier League Team of the Season and being voted Players' Player of the Year by his United team-mates.
His influence on the Reds' squad was evident long before the 20th title-winning campaign, though. During his debut campaign of 2006/07, he carved out a formidable partnership with Paul Scholes and began to mature into one of English football's most sophisticated and classy passing midfielders, quickly bagging the maiden honour of his professional career with the Premier League title.
A calming influence and the master of the interception, he also starred as the Reds conquered England and Europe in 2007/08, beating Chelsea to both the Premier League and Champions League before

Embrace Your AgeThe relationship between women and age is legendary and poses many questions. As a portrait artist, I have noticed that women of all ages refuse to accept themselves as they are. They want to be "retouched" and fixed to look younger, thinner, more like magazine models, and to erase all the beautiful marks of their wisdom and experience...

Hypervitaminosis A is having too much vitamin A
in the body.
Vitamin A toxicity
There are two types of vitamin A hypervitaminosis:
Chronic vitamin A toxicity develops after taking too much vitamin A for long periods.
Treatment involves simply stopping the use of too much vitamin A.
Most people fully recover.
Taking too much vitamin A during pregnancy may cause abnormal development in the developing baby. Talk to your health care provider about eating a proper diet while you are pregnant.
Call your health care provider if you think that you or your child may have taken too much vitamin A, or you have symptoms of excess vitamin A.
To avoid hypervitaminosis A, avoid taking more than the recommended daily allowance of this vitamin. Recent emphasis on vitamin A and beta carotene
as anticancer vitamins may contribute to chronic hypervitaminosis A, if people take more than is recommended.

Forgive but I forget the manager's name who helped me but my movers were hours late in arriving to pick up my items from my apartment. I called Uncle Bob's and the manager was willing to come back to the storage unit and help me activate my unit and get everything set up. Otherwise I would have been in major trouble with a full truck of items with nowhere to go. Awesome service. -BradBrad from New York, NY

Everyone really is nice, professional and more than I could expect. I was waiting for a while at the desk in Englewood...it was avery busy day...and there were some extremely difficult customers ahead of me. I was amazed at how well the staff did with them...I was very impressed. A few days ago I had to have a lock cut off and the young man who cut it off ( I forget his name? they were initials...TJ, LJ, something like that) was absolutely the nicest, kindest and coolest employee I have met yet. He could see I was a bit embarrassed so he was even kinder. I hope you pay these folks decently and give them financial incentives.Graham from Englewood, NJ

Franklin and Wendy have always been very professional and helpful...great customer service which is very hard to find these days, unfortunately.

By Moon Zappa
When I look at Jerry Schatzberg's photo of my famous father's unsmiling face contrasted with his curly, onyx hair in pigtails (a notoriously joyful hairdo usually reserved for young girls) I have to laugh. Mr. Schatzberg has clearly captured my father's dry, acerbic wit, his quiet, Buddha-like lucidity, and his naturally rebellious, boat-rocking essence. This is made all the funnier because my father hated having his photo taken.
On the few occasions I was brave enough to ask my father if I could snap his photo, his instant scowl of impatient annoyance was not worth the trouble, (nor what I wanted to remember). So, I waited and begged for the discards from the test Polaroid piles of his shoots with the Professionals of the Still Image Realm. Or I waited and used my mother's sewing scissors to clip images of Frank Zappa from magazines and newspapers (like everyone else) and pasted the flimsy sheets in my family photo albums alongside fuzzy snapshots I had taken of my mom and my siblings.
Another reason this photograph floods my heart with joy is that I have been led to understand that long hair worn by men in the late 60's was already an atypical and suspect sight for the times, but that the addition of a symmetrical up-do on a working man was almost criminal. Let's just say none of my friends have photos of their awesome, heterosexual dads in pigtails in their scrapbooks from that same era.
I have heard it said that the optimist thinks the world is great just as it is, and that the pessimist fears this is true. I love this idea because the malcontent cannot tolerate stagnation and MUST cultivate and protect aliveness. Here, in Mr. Schatzberg's remarkable image, he illuminates this paradox; from beyond the grave my father continues his steadfast work of challenging us to question assumption, to not settle for the numbing habit of decorum for habit's sake, to take action against anything that oppresses the human spirit, and to do so with the quiet confidence and humor of a true pessimist.
The photo of Frank Zappa is included in Who Shot Rock & Roll, running at the Annenberg Space for Photography through October 7, 2012.

For more than 40 years now, Ritchie Blackmore's famously forceful G-minor blues riff in 1972 Deep Purple classic "Smoke on the Water" has served as the quintessential heavy rock guitar riff and a metal-melody primer for burgeoning rock guitarists everywhere. Its place in rock history is as solid as the stature of the guitarist who played it.
The Ritchie Blackmore Tribute Stratocaster takes you back in time and back to the shores of Switzerland's Lake Geneva, where the smoke from the burning Montreux Casino drifted over the waters on Dec. 4, 1971, as the building was destroyed. That night, the members of Deep Purple watched the "fire in the sky" from their hotel and drew inspiration for a timeless rock classic. Blackmore played the song's powerful double-stop riff on a black 1968 Stratocaster, not knowing at the time that he was creating an archetypal guitar figure that would be eagerly imitated by legions of guitarists.
The Fender Custom Shop Ritchie Blackmore Tribute Stratocaster has a two-piece alder body with a lightly worn Black urethane finish, a "U"-shaped maple neck, 7.25"-radius maple fingerboard with medium jumbo frets, and custom '68 Stratocaster pickups. Other distinctive features include three-way pickup switching, Schaller® tuners, four-bolt neck plate stamped with the serial number and the stylized Fender "F," and a vintage-style synchronized tremolo equipped with Blackmore's distinctive custom ¼" trem arm.
Each instrument also includes an exclusive tribute decal on the back of the headstock, certificate of authenticity and orange-lined black textured vinyl case with the "Fender amp" logo.

Movement 1: Largo
Movement 2: Presto
Movement 3: Largo
For Soviet composers, the 1970s was a decade of 'intonational crisis': a period when they began to question their initial embrace of the avant-garde techniques they had learned during the '60s. And for Schnittke in particular that meant delving deeply into the nature of musical expression. He had already argued that all composers, consciously or not, had 'hierarchies', or 'layers' in their musical language, citing Mahler, Webern and Ives as examples. In his own First Symphony, Schnittke, following Mahler and Ives, had favoured a starkly juxtaposed polystylism. But only four years later the process of consolidating and refining this chaotic language began. With the Piano Quintet, composed in response to the death of his mother, Schnittke's musical language underwent a transformation. Paradoxically, the absence of direct quotation went hand in hand with a more symbolic treatment of stylistic allusions, so that instead of quoting from a Strauss waltz, for example, Schnittke would take the most basic feature of a waltz (its repetitive bass accompaniment) and distort it, much as Shostakovich had done before him.
In the First Cello Sonata, Schnittke takes two of the most basic building-blocks of tonal music—the major/ minor third and the perfect cadence—and subjects them to extreme magnification. In the opening Largo, the effect is gently melancholic, circling around C major/minor but evading the resolution of an identifiable chord. The furious scherzo is firmly in the Shostakovich mould: a whirlwind Presto constructed on rigorously contrapuntal lines that recalls the blistering fugato of the Fourth Symphony's first movement. Here, Schnittke continues to explore the major/minor third oscillations of the Largo, transformed into multiple characters: winding chromatic thirds, the piano's menacing bass tread and its rumbling bass quavers; the weird, slithering cello fifths and pizzicato chords over the piano's climactic arm-cluster. The same major/minor third idea also shapes the piano's gothic-horror-style diminished seventh chords, grotesquely suggestive of a leaden waltz. To use this chord at all by 1978 was as startling as inserting a C major triad into an atonal piece: once again, Schnittke's treatment of over-familiar musical material is questioning and subversive. Just as he constantly undermines the major/minor triad, the diminished seventh is over-inflated and made both absurd and sinister. Underpinning it all is a carefully wrought canonic structure based on the cello's opening material and subjected to ingenious processes of repetition and augmentation.
If one feature of the Sonata is Schnittke's obsession with small units of musical expression, then another is his striving for a kind of hyper-expressivity, even hyperbole. This too draws deeply upon Shostakovich's sound-world; the opening cello music of the finale has the same agonized intensity as Shostakovich's most searing string recitatives, with its fixated semitonal rocking back and forth and painfully over-stretched melodic leaps. Where the earlier Piano Quintet had ended in a radiantly serene D flat major, this Largo rejects the possibility of any such clear resolution. Instead, Schnittke uses memory, not harmony, to create closure: he returns to the main motif of the first movement (the bell-like falling piano chords), to its superimposed major/minor chords and to the Presto's ascending cello figure, transformed from an assertive fortissimo to pianissimo. Over the plainest of accompaniments—simple sustained piano chords—the cello muses on its opening rocking figure and on the piano's falling bell-chord motif. Ambiguity persists to the very last bars: below the piano's whispered recollection of the Presto, the cello's sustained C is tinged with C sharp and an F sharp harmonic. It is Schnittke's simultaneous avoidance of resolution and constant allusion to it that create an eerie sense of wandering through once-beautiful, now desolate, ruins. In fact, the melancholic nature of this music is almost its raison d'être; without the unlocking of Schnittke's melancholic side in the Quintet, it could be argued that the mature mastery of his works from the late 1970s could not otherwise have been achieved.

ARLINGTON - It's a police cruiser. It's a taxi. It's... a hybrid?
This head-turning car sports the look of a white Arlington County Police car from the front. The back half is a spot-on Arlington Yellow Cab.
In an effort to prevent drunken driving this holiday season, public safety leaders unveiled the two-tone Crown Victoria, dubbed the Chooser Cruiser, Tuesday. The car will be parked near nightlife hotspots to remind revelers they have two options to get home.
Police cars and taxis "both transport people who have over indulged at the end of an evening," says Kurt Erickson, president of the Washington Regional Alcohol Program.
"We're hoping that it's a reminder, a stark reminder, that people have a choice how they're transported home at the end of an evening," he says.
The hybrid car and its decal message, "Choose your ride," will be out as early as Wednesday.
Police describe it as a "mobile billboard" that they will use throughout the holidays, particularly along Clarendon and Wilson boulevards.
"Whether it's the back seat of a police car or the back seat of a taxicab, it's all about making the right choice," Erickson says.
The program will also run SoberRide again this year. Anyone 21 and older can call for a free cab ride (if the fare is less than $30) home from anywhere in the greater D.C. area.
The service is available from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Beginning begins Dec. 14. Riders can call 800-200-TAXI (800-200-8294) to dispatch a participating cab.

All the news from the annual Google I/O event, including the latest on Android.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will thrill anyone who loves a fast phone with a large screen, but it's best for compulsive scribblers willing to pay a lot for its winning stylus.
The iPhone 6 delivers a bigger screen while remaining easy to handle, with plenty of features to satisfy everyone -- and the promise of Apple Pay on the horizon to potentially sweeten the deal even further.
Impressive Amazon features and an outstanding display make the the Fire HDX 8.9 one of the best and most affordable media consumption tablets.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 is a smooth-performing midrange slate, but it's overpriced compared to similar tablets.
Although it's a disappointment Sony hasn't increased the screen resolution along with its size, and the camera's quirks are rather odd, the Xperia Z3 Compact's improved design, vast amounts of power, decent battery life and waterproof body help it maintain its position as one of the best mini flagships around.
With the latest version of iOS and an NFC-equipped iPhone, you'll finally be able to pay for transactions with Apple Pay.
Pricing not available
The smooth performing and feature-filled Amazon Fire HD 6 is unrivaled in the bargain tablet category.
Nokia's phone business belongs to Microsoft now, so it's made an affordable 7.9-inch tablet with Android Lollipop and a high-res screen.
Pricing not available
The Acer Iconia Tab 8 has the design edge for budget slates, but you can find a faster performing tablet in the same price range.
The HTC Desire 510 doesn't have the specs to excite committed tech fans, but it handles the basics well, has 4G LTE for superfast data speeds, and it doesn't cost the earth.

How can I tell others about Jesus in a manner that is nonthreatening but yet convincing?
A few years ago, I was involved in training the laity of a local church in the activity we call personal evangelism, and I did that over a period of sixteen weeks. Of that sixteen weeks, about three weeks required …Read More
Why in the Old Testament does God demand so much violence and war of the Jewish nation?
One of the most difficult episodes for us to handle as people who live on this side of the New Testament are the Old Testament records of what is called the herem. This is where God calls Israel to embark …Read More
First Corinthians 15:29 says, "Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?" I know it's a Mormon doctrine to believe in baptism for the dead by proxy. What is the Christian view of this?
There's not a single text in all of Scripture that gives an explicit mandate for the church to practice proxy baptism, or baptism for the dead, and yet here is a practice that has emerged in one religious body. The …Read More
Has Satan been given dominion over the earth until Jesus returns? If so, why was he given this authority?
There's only one supreme Lord over all the world, and that's God. We are told in the Old Testament that this whole concept of dominion was shared with Adam and Eve. Man was given dominion over the earth to be …Read More

Darkened eye sockets, chiselled cheeks and a mullet - Cameron Diaz sure looks familiar as she graces the cover of Russian Interview magazine. As we don't speak Russian and therefore can't read the coverlines, we can't say for sure whether channelling Mr David Bowie was deliberate or whether she is the latest A-list star to fall foul of Photoshop. You've got to admire the similarities to Bowie's NME cover from last June even if you need a double take or two to recognise her. It's a strong look…
But if it is a nod to the world-class musician then it's a timely one as we reported in this week's issue, the V&A have been given unprecedented access to his costume archive and are showing a pretty major retrospective starting next month.
As for the 40-year-old actress, famous for her leading role in comedy There's Something About Mary Cameron most recently starred in Gambit alongside Colin Firth playing a Texan rodeo queen roped in by art curator Harry (Firth) to try and con his evil boss (Alan Rickman) into buying a fake Monet.
As well as being a bonafide member of the A-list, she's also had a string of high profile relationships under her belt including Jared Leto, Justin Timberlake and New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez. It seems like she's taking a little break from the dating scene right now as she's currently single but this cover and some of her previous front page highlights are sure to bring all the boys running… Let's take a look shall we?!

My current Holy build: Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
Cookie-cutter Disc build: Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
Cents wolk has came out healing as a priest has changed so much and i am trying to find a spec that gives me more + spell power. and mana.
i call out all healers to post your spec
My current Holy build: Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
Cookie-cutter Disc build: Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
A better disc Build - Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
As disc you should never be casting greater heal so 5 points to decrease its cast time is pointless. Also i just don't get priests that dont improve renew....
Improved divine spirit is a waste of points as it does not stack with a lot of things, including shaman totems. Points are much better spent elsewhere.
Abbygale, your question is wrong. Problems with mp5 and spellpower are solved with better gear, enhants and gems.
You have got to set goals: do you want to do more of AoE healing coupled with good single target healing or do you want to be more of a damage preventer, single target beast?
Then you know what to choose.
Just because a buff doesn't stack with some one elses buff doesn't mean that the talent is useless. That would be like telling a fury warrior dont get rampage, it doesnt stack with leader of the pact. The OP was wanting to increase their spellpower, IDS does exactly that, or is your advice always run with a shammy. What one is easier in your eyes?
Improved divine spirit is the weakest of the three possible buffs plus any shaman can top it regardless of spec. In any 25 man raid you should have at least 1 shaman and for 10 mans you can live without the buff. I would rather pick a spec that it better optimized and stick to it.
Rampage is also a 1 point talent that fits into the build and feral druids are a lot less common then a shaman of any spec. This is a case of it not being worth it for disc as their version of the buff is the weakest out there and they have to forgo very useful talent points to pick it up.
Take a look at :DiscPriest.com • View topic - The Discipline Priest PVE FAQ for a nice little Disc guide with some commentary on FHeal vs. GHeal and the value of Renew.
Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.
Finish off enlightenment...it might not provide more spellpower but it provides a little more regen and some more throughput and will me more useful in most situations.
My last 3 25 man man raids and my last 5 10 man raids had no one to give that spellpower buff minus a disc priest. I cant think of one encounter in the entirety of WoW as a whole, classic, BC or LK where a lock or a shammy is required to down the boss, i can think of a couple where a priest is though...
They still provide a lot of buffs...I think it is safe to say there will never be a serious progression raid without at least 1 shaman. They provide the best spell power buff, only class with bloodlust, mana spring/tide, and they can duplicate a lot of other buffs.
As to locks...in can think of twin imps, leotheras, illidan, and I am prob missing a few.
If you know you are always going to be the only one to provide the buff sure go ahead and spec it...but that does not make it the best disc spec. You are lowering your effectiveness to give you raid the worst spell power buff out there...there are situations where this makes sense but they are the exception rather then the rule.
Hear is the link to The World of Warcraft Armory armory please look it over check my spec out my gear not the probblem i dont think
I am not sure what you are trying to do with your spec. You are a point away form CoH which is the most overpowered healing spell in the game at the moment and will still be a pretty damn good way to spend 1 talent point even after the nerf. You also don't have pain suppression or guardian spirit so you are missing a wipe saver.
You seem to be be torn between holy and disc but are missing the key talents from each try that lets them do what they do so you are stuck in limbo. Simply put as a priest trying to heal you are going to be significantly more effective if you pick one of the trees and commit to it.
Link me the spec you think i should go . to best benafit my raids

While the leather was of good quality, the description of this item was misleading and understated. This bag has ONLY side openings. While the bag has large dimensions the side openings limit what can be put inside. The actual useability is that of a much smaller bag. The descriptions of the bag did not say anything about side openings only. That is to say, this bag does ntoopen at the top at all. When returning this item, I had to pay out of pocket to return it, despite the fact the Overstock contact person admitted it was not adequately described. Not impressed with the bag, the site explanation or the service of Overstock. would I use this site again? I'd really .have to think about it.
Cute Bag, seems to be well constructed. Was a little disappointed that it does not have an opening at the top, only side zippers. Still a good value.

The Central Saint Martin's graduate has had her dresses worn by actresses Emma Stone, Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain, high profile women including Samantha Cameron and Princess Beatrice, and - the icing on the cake for any Brit-based designer, the Duchess of Cambridge, who stepped out in the Roksanda Ilincic Peridot dress twice.
Roksanda has had a brilliant fashion year - here are our highlights...
1. She stole the shoe-show with her Aldo Rise collection
2. She dressed Kate Middleton for a reception at the Royal Academy of Arts

Plexiglass MenagerieWritten by Jill Lawless | Published October 28, 2008
I finally checked off a longstanding item on my Texas travel to-do list. I'd been wanting to visit the Dallas World Aquarium since Senior Editor Lori Moffatt first covered it for TH in August 2000. She vividly described the hundreds of creatures and hundreds of plant species that flourish here—in habitats that range from rainforest treetops to coral reefs—all on a city block in Dallas' West End. And after reading Kitty Crider's TH coverage of the DWA in last June's story on Dallas family fun, I changed my sloth ways and darted to Big D like a giant river otter.
Victory at LastWritten by Lori Moffatt | Published October 27, 2008
In Dallas' trendy Victory Park development, the new American Airlines Center— with its modern architecture and enormous exterior video monitors that might make you think of Times Square or Tokyo— gears up for a full schedule of pro basketball and hockey games through spring 2009. A recent visit to the W Hotel-Victory Park—a high-gloss hotel whose entrance is steps away from the AA Center—made me envision a perfect weekend for a sports-loving couple willing to pull out the stops for a luxurious weekend.
Farewell, Mobil—Hello, Giovanni!Written by Jane Wu | Published October 16, 2008
My reliable neighborhood full-service Mobil gas station/garage is no more. Left in its place, in the parking lot, is a delightful, delectable pizza and pasta trailer called Giovanni Pizza Stand, at the southwest corner of S. Lamar and Barton Skyway in Austin. I've only had two of the pizzas so far—the Margarita and the Greek—but they're heavenly if you're a fan of thin crust. Wafer-crisp, just the right ratio of toppings to dough (for me it's 2/3 topping, 1/3 dough), very flavorful, and seemingly light on the oil. Not a speck of grease graced the container when I finished. I've since been tempted to reuse the box to package gifts! I've heard that the owner/chef at Giovanni used to be a chef at the former Mezzaluna downtown, which explains that not-your-average-pizza-stand subtlety in taste. Comparable in price and a lot tastier than fast-food pizza, Giovanni offers a few tables and chairs for dining alfresco in the evening shade as well as takeout.
Tips for ACL FestWritten by Jane Wu | Published September 25, 2008
This is my third year to attend the Austin City Limits Music Festival, now in its seventh year, and I am looking forward to the predicted slightly cooler temps, as well as a stellar lineup. The always-eclectic collection of musical talent (from Vampire Weekend to Gnarls Barkley to Robert Plant & Alison Krauss to Manu Chao) suits my far-and-wide-ranging tastes. If you're going for one day or all three, here's some of my favorite tips to enhance your enjoyment and comfort. The ACL Fest site covers the basics and Austin360.com has helpful advice as well.
Take That, Tomato!Written by Lori Moffatt | Published September 23, 2008
In February 2007, I wrote a story about Central Market's cooking classes, a piece that was a blast to research, as I learned to make several varieties of sushi and the best-ever chocolate cookie. (The secret cookie ingredient is salt, which makes the sweet taste of the chocolate even stronger). What I did not learn, however, was how to properly use a knife.
It's not the destination, but the journey....Written by Jill Lawless | Published September 23, 2008
I'm always looking for roadside surprises on our frequent trips from Austin to visit family and friends in Hico and Llano. When Hico bound, we often stop to fill up at the H-E-B in Lampasas, renowned for its cheap (if that's what you can call it these days) gas. We then guzzle milkshakes and cheeseburgers alfresco a few blocks ahead at Storm's Drive-In (Elvis ate here). Down the road, on US 281 north of Hamilton, we've been known to pick up a weekend's worth of comestibles at Dutchman's Hidden Valley Country Store: smoked meats and cheeses from the deli, cinnamon rolls and other treats from the bakery, and sweets at the old-fashioned candy counter. Don't forget Dutchman's own dressings and other Texas food products—and the antiques and knickknacks for sale.
Chillin' in Palo Duro CanyonWritten by Charles Lohrmann | Published September 19, 2008
If you haven't seen the Texas pageant in Palo Duro Canyon State Park, it offers an unexpected opportunity to relax. Not to take anything away from the pageant itself, because the performances are entertaining and memorable, but IÂ have to admit, the action on stage took a back seat to my enjoyment of the dramatic setting (pun definitely intended). I had the chance to make a presentation to the Midwest Travel Writers Association, and host Eric Miller ferried the group on the 30-minute drive to enjoy the performance. We enjoyed a clear evening enhanced by a cool breeze coursing through the open-air amphitheater, so the heat of the summer day was forgotten. In fact, it was cool enough that a cup of coffee was a perfect warm-up. And even a jolt of caffeine couldn't nudge me out of my serene mood. As the warm colors of the canyon walls cooled with the fading daylight faded, the sky transformed itself into a starry black blanket. I don't know if anyone else saw the shooting star (I half expected a gasp from the audience) but it seemed like it completed its bright arc right on cue.
Backstage at Willie's PlaceWritten by Charles Lohrmann | Published September 19, 2008
Experience now tells me that no building can contain the legendary persona of Willie Nelson. I say this in spite of the fact that, when photographer Griff Smith and I idled backstage of the new Night Life Theater in Carl's Corner on I35E just north of Hillsboro, the space seemed big enough to handle most any event.
Tony Bennett in San AntonioWritten by Charles Lohrmann | Published September 19, 2008
No one enjoys working like Tony Bennett does. The American music icon drew an amazingly diverse crowd to San Antonio's Municipal Auditorium not long ago — all ages seem mesmerized by his beaming, exuberant, stage presence that radiates the pleasure he takes in the crowd and in performing.
Dim Sum in the LoopWritten by Jane Wu | Published July 31, 2008
On a recent visit to Houston, I had dim sum with my daughter and my siblings at Yum Yum Cha Cafe in Rice Village. Dim sum, sometimes called "Chinese tapas," are bite-size dumplings, buns or tofu filled with meat, seafood or vegetables. Houston's Chinese food aficionados know that most of the city's dim sum restaurants are clustered in the southwest area's Chinatown, so Yum Yum Cha, nestled near the Museum District in the 610 Loop, is a rare find. Even better, Yum Yum Cha also serves dim sum on weekdays and most evenings. Traditionally, this diminutive treat is only served during weekend brunch-time.
Honk If You Love Italian FoodWritten by Lori Moffatt | Published July 30, 2008
This past weekend, my husband and I made the trek up I-35 to visit relatives in Oklahoma, and we made several worthwhile stops along the way to break up the drive. I had been curious about the growing "Babe's Chicken Dinner House" Texas franchise, and a billboard enticed us to stop at the Sanger location—in the historic downtown area—for a late lunch. Downtown Sanger, where 1880s buildings speak of the town's glory days as a cattle-shipping hub on the Santa Fe Railroad, is experiencing a construction boom of sorts, but Babe's was closed for a midday siesta. I poked my head into a candle-and-jewelry shop to ask for a dining recommendation, something local, something interesting.
Making Tracks to Glen RoseWritten by Jill Lawless | Published July 28, 2008
I have visited the Glen Rose area dozens of times over the years, but had never stopped at Dinosaur Valley State Park. But with a five-year-old rock hound/fossil fan in the family, we just couldn't pass up the park last weekend.
