The Committee on Appointment, Promotion and Advancement (CAPA) is comprised of seven members appointed by the Executive Committee of LAUC-B to staggered, three-year terms. Each member must have career status. Five must be from The Library and two must be from Affiliated Library units. The ad hoc committees are appointed by appropriate administrators (the University Librarian) upon nominations from CAPA.
CAPA reviews all dossiers in the Librarian series for merit, promotion, career status and special cases after they have been certified as complete and after ad hoc committees have written their letters regarding the advisability of promotion or career status. Ad hoc committees do not review merit or special cases. CAPA's letter of recommendation is addressed to the University Librarian for cases from The Library or to the Vice-Provost for Academic Affairs and Faculty Welfare for cases from Affiliated Library units.
CAPA also reviews all job descriptions for appointments to the Librarian series, including part-time and temporary appointments. CAPA also meets all candidates interviewing for appointment to the Librarian series to evaluate their potential for obtaining career status at Berkeley and to share information related to the Librarian review process. Anyone planning to hire in the Librarian series should send their draft job description to the Chair of CAPA for review and comment as soon as possible.
Members of the ad hoc committees and CAPA observe strict confidentiality regarding individual review cases. It is best to direct all questions regarding the review process to past members of CAPA, your LAUC-B mentor, or your review initiator.

Making a distinction between self voiding and being voided by an ESG makes no sense whatsoever. If that is the only case of someone else having the ability to void your cloak, it is practically not worth mentioning.

Paul - I think I'd be ok with most of those features, or something mirroring them. It doesn't actually bother me whether they reflect SFB or not, my concern is that I see the cloak as being the number 1 feature of what it means to be Romulans, hence I would like to see it be useful in FC. Romulans that don't cloak just doesn't feel right to me. I do think that a good cloak would make them pretty close to balanced.
Speed 24 cloaks should be ok IMO, whilst I don't mind the speed 16 part to much, the power drain in itself would go a long way to balancing speed 24 and cloaked.
Void for just 1 impulse sounds ok, whilst I haven't really seen it as a major issue (probably as I can't compare to SFB) it always struck me as odd that it can be quicker to uncloak and recloak. About the only time I've seen a cloak voided is during fade-in when an extra accel can be better than the +4range.
Retaining the damage reduction whilst void I have to say sounds quite potent on the face of it, it doesn't actually bother me that ESG or Web can nuke a cloak as I'm happy enough with the idea that an empire has a bogeyman or 2 matchup, especially someone on the far side of the galaxy like the lyrans who they wouldn't normally be fighting, or tholians who are just a swine for almost everyone. I can understand that you would see that differently as a tourney player mainly.

I am not implicitly (or explicitly) promising anything here. However, I am curious how a particular set of changes would work:
- Voiding doesn't affect the damage modifier. All other protections are still removed.
- Voiding only lasts for one impulse, regardless of cause. (Note that a tractored ship will still be re-voided every impulse.)
- Entering a web hex merely voids the cloak, though it is re-voided every impulse it remains in the hex.
- On the impulse the ship becomes fully cloaked, all seeking weapons targeted on the ship are removed from play, subject to its speed: Speed 0 (or Stopped) removes all seeking weapons; Speed 8 removes all seeking weapons farther than 4 hexes; Speed 16 removes all seeking weapons farther than 8 hexes.
- If a cloaked ship performs emergency deceleration, all seeking weapons still tracking it are removed.
- No other changes to the cloak rules.
Would that make it worth using? Could that be playtested?
Again, no promises. But I do agree that the cloak in FC isn't worth the cost as it currently exists.

How about something extremely simple with cloak? Direct fire weapons simply do 3/4 damage during fade and 1/2 while cloaked. Seeking weapons do 1/2 damage during fade and 1/4 damage while cloaked. Instead of +4 range, simply increase 2 columns to the right for direct fire weapons. I never liked the complete neutering of Ph-3 and Ph-G with cloak.
This makes cloak useful without being overpowering and it's easy to remember and apply.

That seems reasonable Mike.
Voided cloaks retain seekers regardless of speed correct? A ship fading out gets tractored and emergency decels, the seekers are going to get him for 75% on fade-in impulse and 50% on the following impulses?

I am looking at trying to keep in line with SFB as much as possible. So, rather than going in a completely different tangent, I chose the above. The other thing is that this is just a starting point, and if anything is ever going to change, we gotta start somewhere. As Paul points out, this is a conservative starting point.
If a ship starts cloaking with a voided cloak, then the whole process of dropping any incoming seeking weapons is completely delayed until the cloak takes effect. So, if you ship starts cloaking while tractored, any seeking weapons will continue to seek the ship (irrespective of any emergency deceleration) and hit for 75% damage in fade and 50% damage while under voided cloak.

Also, in SFB, there are no speed restrictions at all on the cloaked ship, apart from the die modifier to regain lock-on and whatever power restrictions may exist. To be clear, a cloaked ship can go as fast as it wants and never void its own cloak.
Thank you for posting the synopsis. And the lack of speed restriction is a *VERY IMPORTANT* fact because it is more difficult to gain lock-on than it was to retain it. Therefore it was quite common for a Romulan to slow down to cloak and play some games to shake lock-on but on the next turn plot a mid-turn speed change to allow the ship to gain a little distance and maneuverability before coming out of cloak.
Plotting, for example, speed 14 for 24 impulses followed by speed 27 for the final 8ish (don't have a chart handy) works out to about 16 movement points which is very doable for a Firehawk once it has fully reloaded (full phaser capacitors, F's in stasis and the S's rolling).
Those last few moves at high speed under the protection of cloak can be huge for getting just enough wiggle room to safely de-cloak or to get movement priority to maneuver for a good shot.

Could the second bit above be changed to any change in
speed causes a recalculation of the first bit. That allows for speed changes over the turn break, or any other odd scenarios that crop up.
Otheriwse I like those changes, I'll see if I can persuade someone to stop playing ACTA and give them a try.

Looks good to me. At the risk of introducing another complication, would it also be worth saying that targeted damage isn't allowed against cloaked ships?

On the last two suggestions, let's give the base idea a try, and we can fine tune it after that. The biggest thing right now is to see how it works.
And, again, there are no guarantees. I am sure Steve is reading this, and he hasn't said no yet, but that just means he hasn't said no *yet*. He could still say no. But the better it is justified, the better chance there is he will say yes.

I've been meaning to post in this discussion, but real world considerations have kept me away from the board for some days. The ideas that have been forward are interesting, and worthy of a playtest. They may do much to improve matters, and only a playtest will determine whether, or how much, they will help.
It's already been pointed out that seekers will now likely be saved until a ship uncloaks. But there is another issue besides seekers that can affect a cloaked ship's chances, and that is initiative. Slowing to speed 16 to cloak surrenders a lot of initiative. It seems to me that this loss of initiative can be even more of a disincentive to cloak that inbound seekers, at least when dealing with traditional Romulan enemies. Feds haven't got as many drones as all that, Gorn carronades are a disincentive to cloak even if they have no seekers live, and the Tholians don't use seekers at all, apart from shuttles. Of course, if we're talking about tournament play, and the problem is Kzinti, then the threat of seekers is nothing short of dire.
A frequent opponent of mine expressed the opinion recently that loss of initiative was the most serious problem with cloaking, and that the best remedy for that would be to allow a cloaked ship to buy acceleration and run at speed 16+1.

My thoughts are that while I agree there should be no speed restrictions, I am not really fussed about it. Let me go to SFB functionality to explain why.
Why does a Cloaked ship need to be able to move fast while under cloak? To prevent an enemy from just sitting on him.
Does this work in SFB? Yes, but not just because the cloaked ship can go fast. SFB has two distinctions that are relevant to cloaked speed.
1. Paying to cloak for 1 impulse costs the same as paying for 32. In this way, the cost of cloaking is a significant driver on maximum speed. Fed Com's two rules (once the ridiculous voiding rules are changed): Base Speed 16 and pay for 4 impulses at minimum, help simulate these restrictions in SFB. Remember, you can go 16+1, you just void the cloak that impulse (under Mike's changes).
2. Everyone is less flexible in their movement options. What allows a Fed Com opponent to just sit on a cloaked target is the general movement rules. This would be true at any allowed cloak speed (except, yes, 16+1 not voiding would allow escape from Hydran fighters). If you and your opponent are both base 16, and he is sitting on you, there is really nothing you can do to change that. The ability for every ship to go +1 as me too and to pay for unlimited deceleration means you are going to be stuck. Changing the rule to allow 16+1 to not void would not change that situation. So there is really no point in fighting it.
If you want to escape, your key in Fed Com is having a better turn mode. Unfortunately, all the good Romulan Ships (there are only two) are TM D. So I think that is a situation you will just needs to live with.

I loike the idea of seekers dropping lock against a fully active cloaking device, and the range thing is a neat way to bring an SFB feel to it without going back to the supercomputer to calculate whether or not you have a lock-on.
Nothing is quite as persuasive as a disruptor pistol on slow burn and a rotisserie......

Blake Lively has become somewhat of a fashion darling since bleeping onto our radar on a little show called Gossip Girl. We watched in awe as the impossibly pretty actress conquered red carpets in frothy Marchesa creations, took FROW spots next to Anna Wintour, bagged a namesake Louboutin and became Karl Lagerfeld's new muse. What a busy bee!
And all this from a girl who claims she doesn't need a stylist. 'My assistant will call fashion houses for me, but I always pick the outfit, shoes, jewelry, and a lot of times I do my own hair and makeup for events,' Blake told US Marie Claire recently. 'Maybe it sounds jerky, but I'm lucky to be on such a fashion-centric show. There's no designer I don't have access to.'
It's alright for some, eh? Admittedly, Blake's sartorial swishes have been spot-on so far. The 22-year-old is back on the promo rounds this month for new film 'Savages' and she's wowed us every day this week with one designer cracker after the other (*click, refresh*). And with the likes of Frida Giannini clamouring to dress her plus a body that wears the clothes so well, is it any wonder?
So what have we seen thus far? There was that stunning Zuhair Murad couture gown for the LA premiere. For a chat with David Letterman, she sported a pretty white frock by Jenny Packham with a crystal-encrusted neckline that framed her *ahem* ample assets. Then she mixed it up with a crimson red Michael Kors suit teamed with strappy Christian Louboutin heels to appear on Good Morning America. And yesterday, it was time for a spot of Gucci.
As the face of the new Gucci Première women's fragrance, it was only a matter of time before La Lively would be swathed in one of the brand's glam gowns but the one she chose for last night's New York premiere was real special. The pale yellow of her pleated silk gown works beautifully against her Cali tan, the halter neck and open back is super-sexy while the chiffon skirt falling from a gathered waist keeps it perfectly elegant. As our Gucci pals inform us, this is a one of a kind dress so there'll be no embarrassing who-wore-it-best contests. Phewf for that. The Golden Goddess look was expertly finished off twith a pair of turquoise drop earrings and matching stack bracelets as well as that wonderous fishtail plait.
If Blake carries on like this, we have an inkling our girl crush is only set to sky-rocket.

I think you can have it both ways. You play Ross with the goal of making the playoffs, if you can't do it with him in the line up then so be it. Although I'm of the opinion that the raps aren't going to make the playoffs no matter what they do.
I'm too lazy to try to track down the source but a study of nba player performance indicates that the best predictor of success for a player is how many minutes they get, not where they were drafted, or what kind of stats they are put up as rookies. If you want him to be good you have to play him. If that means we don't win games so be it. I'm not saying he has to play 48, or even 24, but he's got to see between 10-15 minutes.
Try to win the games, try to make the playoffs, but get ross his 10-15.
"We only have one rule on this team. What is that rule? E.L.E. That's right's, E.L.E, and what does E.L.E. stand for? EVERYBODY LOVE EVERYBODY. Right there up on the wall, because this isn't just a basketball team, this is a lifestyle. ~ Jackie Moon
I think casey is trying the 8/9 man rotation but the guys he throws on just can't produce. So he trys mixing things around, although this far into the season he should already know who and who not to play.
The big problem with the roster right now (or at least, one of the big problems) is that we have too much talent at the wings. Ross, Anderson, and Fields are probably our best three bench players at this very moment. And you can only play two of them, at most, in a game.
You know, I only partially blame Casey for these problem. BC is also to blame for not having a truly differentiated depth chart. That is, as with the Telfair acquisition he provides a different option, but not a differentiably betteroption and thus Casey's already troubling decision making problems are only compounded.

Clint swings for the fence
WTOP Film Critic Jason Fraley says the film throws nice curves down the stretch, but lacks heat in the first hour and a half.
WASHINGTON - In January, Clint Eastwood gave the nation a pep talk with a Super Bowl halftime ad. Last month, he spoke to a chair in a bizarre appearance at the Republican Convention.
Now, Clint gets back to business -- the movie business -- with the baseball flick "Trouble with the Curve."
He plays Gus, an aging scout for the Atlanta Braves who's losing his eyesight. He travels to North Carolina to scout a highly-touted high schooler, Bo Gentry (Joe Massingill), who can hit for power but has a fatal flaw. Little does Gus know, his job is on the line by a front office that wants to force him into retirement.
Gus' longtime friend and colleague Pete (John Goodman) suspects Gus' failing vision and asks Gus' estranged lawyer daughter Mickey (Amy Adams) to be his eyes, applying the baseball knowledge she learned as a kid.
Joining the scouting trip in Carolina, Mickey finds romantic sparks with a Red Sox scout (Justin Timberlake) and tries desperately to reconnect with her impenetrable father.
As expected, Eastwood is back with the usual crotchety role we've seen since "Million Dollar Baby" (2004) and most recently in "Gran Torino."
I've always liked Eastwood, from his "Good, Bad, Ugly" westerns to his "Dirty Harry" crime dramas, but I wonder whether now even his biggest fans are growing tired of his recent "get off my lawn" shtick.
The best performance comes from Amy Adams, who is equal parts tough and adorable as the emotionally unavailable daughter grappling with a "Cats in the Cradle" childhood. She may very well win a Supporting Actress Oscar this year for Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master" (2012), but "Trouble with the Curve" is the role that will keep her face familiar with mainstream audiences.
Adams seems to have mastered the mantra, "do one for the art, one for the fans."
The idea of Adams and Timberlake quizzing each other with baseball trivia is a cute idea, and their near skinny dipping scene is well executed. Still, it's hard to buy Timberlake as a former ballplayer.
J.T. pulled off Napster's Sean Parker in "The Social Network" (2010) because he is a real-life music entrepreneur, moving from boy-band pop to catchy R&B, then investing in a musical MySpace.
In "Trouble with the Curve," he tries being a reluctant jock amid a group of cloggers on a bar dance floor, when really we keep waiting for him to bust out dancing.
In addition to the three leads, the film has a deep bench of players to work with.
Viewers will recognize a number of the front office folks: John Goodman ("Roseanne"), Bob Gunton ("The Shawshank Redemption"), Robert Patrick ("Terminator 2: Judgment Day"), Chelcie Ross ("Major League") and Matthew Lillard ("The Descendants"). The film also stars Eastwood's son, Scott, as a promising young prospect who needs his parents in the stands to succeed.
The deep cast makes things easier for debut director Robert Lorenz, who uses out- of-focus lenses to simulate Clint's failing eyesight and clever transitions like cutting from an office golf putter to a baseball in the outfield.
Lorenz goes way back with Eastwood, serving as an assistant director on "The Bridges of Madison County" (1995), "Absolute Power" (1997) and "Space Cowboys" (2000), before producing "Mystic River" (2003), "Million Dollar Baby" (2004), "Flags of Our Fathers" (2006), "Letters from Iwo Jima" (2006), "Gran Torino" (2008), "Invictus" (2009) and "J. Edgar" (2011).
Lorenz and debut screenwriter Randy Brown have the right instinct of letting the father-daughter relationship carry the film. I just wish they had more of a film to carry.
This movie doesn't have "trouble with the curve." It actually throws them quite well. After the "All is Lost" moment, the movie throws some fascinating curveballs in Act Three, both in the characters' backstories and a unique climatic showdown. What the film lacks is an effective fastball for the first hour and a half. It's like a closer who comes in and closes out the game well, but gets shelled when asked to pitch a full nine innings.
The story is formulaic, repetitive and many of the scenes predictable, rounding all the right bases, but lacking the danger and urgency of a Charlie Hustle.
My biggest gripe is with the handling of the cocky young prospect, Bo Gentry. The script succeeds in making him unlikable, but it tries too hard to make him that way, speaking unrealistic dialogue to his teammates about visualizing endorsement deals and scoring chicks.
Perhaps this is the disadvantage of coming a year after "Moneyball" (2011), an instant sports movie classic and one of my picks for The Top 10 Baseball Movies of All Time.
It's impossible not to compare the two as Eastwood and Goodman debate the role of computers in the modern scouting process. And when you make that comparison, "Moneyball" screenwriters Steven Zaillan ("Schindler's List") and Aaron Sorkin ("The Social Network") expose rookie Randy Brown for having a hitch in his swing. Break out the screenwriter soft toss. Surely this can be fixed.
If you have a father or daughter who loves baseball, or you're simply an Eastwood fan, it may strike a personal chord for you. If not, I'd wait for it to come out on cable. When it comes to the recent lineup of sports movies, "Moneyball" was close to a .400 hitter, "The Blind Side" (2009) was a solid .300, and "Trouble with the Curve" is lucky to be hitting .250.

My 9 year old is 4'11 and 101 lbs. Last year he swung a 30/18 Distance bat. He recently made the 9U travel team for 2015. Any suggestions? He wants to move to a 2 5/8.
The 2014 DeMarini Vexxum Senior League Baseball Bat (DXVXR) is an excellent bat to consider. It has an extremely balanced swing weight and would provide him with a easy transition into a 2 5/8" barrel. The 2014 DeMarini Vexxum Senior League Baseball Bat (DXVXY) is a great bat as well, but it has a 2 3/4" barrel.
My son is 8 years old, 4'5", and 68 lbs. Many online charts that I have found indicate that 30" is the ideal length, however, bat coach indicates 29". What are the advantages/disadvantages to using the 30" over the 29"?
By increasing the bat length to 30" this can help players use the bat a little bit longer while they are going through growth spurts. It can also help players make contact with the ball a little better because it provides a small extension through the zone. If a bat is too long however, this will make it uncomfortable for players, and can restrict their full potential. More than likely, if a bat is too long, a player can always choke up on it until they are able to fully grow into it. For young players, this is extremely common, however, one inch is not going to make a huge difference. Therefore, I would probably suggest using a 30" in the 2014 DeMarini Vexxum Senior League Baseball Bat: (DXVXY).
My son is 4' 1" and 58 lbs. What size Voodoo would be best for him?
The 2014 DeMarini Vexxum Senior League Baseball Bat (DXVXY) would be best for him in the 28" size.
Product Description
New for 2014! The Half + Half bat that put DeMarini on the map returns for it's first season in Junior Big Barrel play! The DeMarini Vexxum has been crushing the ball for years, and this season it's as mean as ever with its BIGGEST barrel ever! Once the first of its kind as far as two-piece bats go, this year's Vexxum combines an X10 Alloy barrel with a C6 Composite handle. The X10 Alloy used on the barrel is finely-tuned and shaped to create the thinnest possible walls. This keeps the weight down and opens up the sweet spot for unbelievable performance! The C6 Composite handle works in unison with the alloy barrel and is specifically tailored for the single wall construction of the Vexxum. C6 features a wider composite weave, which in turn gives it more flex and unparalleled trampoline when the bat makes contact with the ball! The Vexxum is about as balanced as a bat can get, and is absolutely ideal for players looking to improve their swing speed this season! If you want mad pop and a light swing weight, this Vexxum Junior Big Barrel bat is for you! DeMarini: Born Hardcore! Recommended for players 12 and under. The Vexxum features the USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

As a little treat to myself i recently got a Canon TS-E 90mm tilt/shift lens to use as a sort of macro lens when the bigger beasties come back out to play. My 100mm macro is likely to be relegated to handheld use and I plan to use the TS-E for the tripod shots at less than 1:1.
To familiarise myself with using the movements to control the plane of focus I've been messing about in the kitchen photographing models that I've built (this 1:12 scale Hayabusa is about 150mm long).
The first image had the bike at about 45 degrees to the camera and the camera was pointed down at about 22.5 degrees(according to the geared tripod head which was hopefully level). With a my 100mm I'd have had to shoot pretty much straight on and level with the subject to get it all sharp so the movements allow for a pretty serious amount of leeway for setting up a shot however you want it.
Not quite as much of the movements used here.....
One thing I need to experiment more with is the effect magnification has on the amount of movement you get. It seems like the closer you go the less effect the same amount of tilt has but at this stage I could well be imagining it!
This one is pretty much at the minimum focus distance (0.25x) and the chain is probably about the same length as a damselfly so I suspect I'm going to need to try it on the extension tubes soon.
Need to try it out in the woods too.

We're a day late with this week's Blu-rays, but we're going to blame Sony. We have to blame someone—and the studio is going to be tardy as well, releasing this week's spotlight Blu-ray a few days beyond the typical Tuesday.
That special treatment goes to The Amazing Spider-Man, which will start selling this Friday. Our webbed friend is getting a special date because it's a special title for the studio. First of all, they had to go through all of the rants regarding the move to reboot the 10-year-old franchise. Then, they dumped a boatload of money into it. Big surprise: It paid off. Not only was director Marc Webb's vision a box-office success, but it makes for a nice Blu-ray to boot.
While you're waiting on our favorite web-slinger, there is a slew of other releases to check out. For instance, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas—thanks to four separate animated releases.
Did we miss one of your favorites for the week? Have something to say about one of this week's new releases? Sound off in the comments below. Otherwise, all of these titles are out now, except where noted. Enjoy!
Check out our Blu-ray Picks for the Week of November 6, 2012.

Die schöne Müllerin ('The Fair Mill-maid', D795) is far too familiar to require much explanation. Liszt chooses numbers 1, 19, 14, 17, 2 and 7 from the original twenty settings of Wilhelm Müller: Das Wandern ('Wandering') is two verses shorter than the song expressing the poet's joy in tramping about, but is delightfully varied. The conversation about the misery and the happy mystery of love, Der Müller und der Bach ('The Miller and the Stream') is extended by an extra variation to the last verse and is one of the finest of all Liszt's transcriptions, so close does it get to letter and spirit of the song whilst writing inventively and originally at the same time. The two verses of Der Jäger ('The Huntsman')—in which the poet asks the hunter to keep away from the stream and shoot only that which frightens his loved one—are given a very sprightly decoration, and are set either side of the transcription of Die böse Farbe ('The Evil Colour'). This is shorn of its short introduction and coda, but handled very ebulliently, with some treacherous double notes in the right hand to stress the pride and boldness of the lover's preferred and mocking green.
Wohin? ('Whither?') solves the problem of adding the voice to the accompaniment by dividing the babbling brook which has attracted the poet's attention between the inner fingers of the two hands, and occasionally by letting it wash the melody from above; and Ungeduld ('Impatience')—the poet is desperate to proclaim his love to the whole world—is set, like the first song, with one fewer verse than Schubert, in a theme and two variations. (For the later versions of these transcriptions, entitled Müllerlieder, see Volume 33.)

The Cowboys will operate under head coach Travis Ford. Ford took the Cowboys to the NCAA Tournament in his first two years as head coach in the 2009 and 2010 season, but has not been back since. This year the Cowboys have landed one of the best recruits in the nation. Shooting Guard Marcus Smart will head to Stillwater, Oklahoma this year as he hopes to turn the program around. Smart is ranked #10 in the nation on the Rivals Top 150 Board for 2012 recruits. The Cowboys will lose leading scorer Keiton page, so they will look to Smart to pick up some of the scoring and leadership, a tough task for a freshman to fill. Nevertheless, Smart will not be doing it alone as the Cowboys do return important pieces of their supporting cast such as second leading scorer Le'Bryan Nash. Nash and Smart could be a very dangerous tandem on the wings next year in the Big 12.
The Cowboys play their home games at the beautiful Gallagher-Iba Arena, a tough place to play for anyone.

Mark Seliger, Bob Gruen and Kevin Bacon Chat About Music & Photography
Who Shot Rock & Roll may have closed at the Photography Space over the weekend but that doesn't mean we don't have to stop talking about the exhibit.
Mark Seliger, one of the show's featured photographers, has a new sitdown show about photography called Capture. The voiceover intro pretty much sums up what the show is about: "A great photograph needs no explanation. But on Capture, these incredible people tell the story of creating their most memorable images."
In the the latest episode of Capture, Seliger sits down with Who Rock & Roll's Bob Gruen and actor (and photographer!) Kevin Bacon for a chat about music and photography. The latter gives us our favorite quote of the day: "There are two things that hit you the hardest. One is photographs and the other is music." We couldn't agree more.
Seliger, Gruen and Bacon talk about those two subjects in depth. Watch the entire intriguing discussion above.

One thing that might help is add a second devastate button, this one with HS macro'd so as you spam it, you keep HS queued. Then when rage is an issue you still have the normal Dev available.
I don't remember the specifics, but if I recall from previous threads, I think SW, Rev, and Con Blow all have a higher priority for threat than Dev, even glyphed for threat, though I'm not sure it's a big difference.
You have the threat build and glyphed devastate and a pretty good threat stick...
Are you mashing Dev except when you see SS/Rev/SW/Conc Blow about to come off CD? Or pressing after the fact? That might be part of it if you're waiting until it's ready to go?
If you're really concerned about threat, the Heroic 1H Axe from Lootship is a big threat increase. http://www.wowhead.com/item=50654 It's a minor stamina loss, 14, and you lose some avoid/def but you should still remain uncritable.
How do you activate your meta? All I see are +30 sta gems everywhere. Putting a +15 Exp/Sta in your helm would help a little plus activate your meta?

Rachmaninov had composed some forty major works before leaving Russia for ever after the November 1917 Revolution; but he managed a mere half dozen in the twenty-six years from then until his death (and not one of these was completed during his first nine years abroad). The dual culture-shock of exile from his beloved homeland and more general post-war trauma undoubtedly played a part in this hiatus. 'I feel like a ghost wandering in a world grown alien', he wrote. 'I cannot cast out the old way of writing, and I cannot acquire the new. I have made intense efforts to feel the musical manner of today, but it will not come to me.'
There were more mundane factors in addition. In America, cut off from the relatively privileged lifestyle he had so painstakingly achieved, Rachmaninov had to begin a new career as an international concert pianist in order to provide for his immediate family (and in due course to subsidize an increasing number of more distant needy relations and friends). The demands of a rapidly expanding repertoire, together with the rigours of travel and recording, squeezed out any spare time that might have been devoted to composition.
In 1926 he finally succeeded in taking a sabbatical year away from performance in order to complete his Fourth Piano Concerto. Ideas for this work had been taking shape since 1914, and he had even withheld from publication one of his 1911 Études-tableaux (for piano solo) probably because he had already formed the intention to rework its second half as the closing section of the concerto's slow movement. Putting his ideas for the new concerto into shape proved to be fraught with difficulty, in part simply because Rachmaninov had to relearn the habit of composition, in part also because he was sufficiently influenced by the spirit of the times to have become suspicious of his own natural grandiloquence. (His concerns may be judged from the cuts he inflicted on his Third Concerto and on his Second Piano Sonata in its 1931 revision.) Hardly was the Fourth Concerto complete than he began trimming it. One-hundred-and-fourteen bars were shorn off in the summer of 1927, following the tepidly received first performances (given with the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Eugene Ormandy), and a further seventy-eight bars disappeared in summer 1941, just before Rachmaninov recorded the work with the same artists.
The result of these vacillations is a work that seems ridden with doubt. On the one hand it has one of the most inspired opening gambits in the entire concerto repertoire, the piano entering on the crest of a wave; and the proportions of the first movement are subtly adjusted throughout, so that grand statements ignite suddenly, rather than having to go through the motions of elaborate rhetorical build-up. Yet the final bars of this movement are strangely throwaway, while the slow movement hovers indecisively between expansive statement and the modesty of an interlude. As for the finale, it constantly shies away from the Dance of Death character that seems to be its main thrust.
For these and other reasons the Fourth Concerto has been much maligned over the years. The inevitable, though not necessarily more enlightened, reaction is to ascribe all such criticism to prejudice or narrow-mindedness. A subtler judgment might be that the music's insecurities and vacillations are precisely what give it its potential appeal to post-modern sensibilities. And there can be little doubt that Rachmaninov's late masterpieces – the Paganini Rhapsody and the Symphonic Dances – would have been inconceivable without its example. The Concerto is dedicated to his friend Nicholas Medtner.

First you new to reforge until you are at block cap, expertise and hit looks good although you are over the hit cap so you can reforge some to mastery. Move 2 points from GC and 1 from Hallowed ground, use those 3 points for crusade(it's roughly a 210dps increase for all 3 points).
Start the pull with an exo cast instead of taunt as the dmg portion of taunt is gone. Feral's are doing more threat since the patch so I would not be too concerned about that

Most of our time is spent in the kitchen—and the owners of this space are no exception, even though they have a serious hi-end audio system in the nearby living room.
They definitely wanted some audio/video enjoyment in the kitchen and dining area, but they also wanted to keep a clean look and a focus on the scenic views powered by the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The original plan was to place the TV on the wall near the kitchen counter, but it would not have been visible from all spots in the area. In addition, design and installation company Sensory Environment Design (SED) had to deal with an ugly 18-inch-thick concrete support column. "We had to do something to get rid of that column," says Shane Seira of SED.
The support column could be wrapped in fabric. That was a start. But then SED realized it could also be disguised as the audio/video hub of the room. Steel poles were fabricated to hold a 26-inch LG LCD TV, and shelves that surround the column were each built from three pieces. The resulting bar area was crafted entirely by SED, and a telescoping and pivoting Chief mount allows the LCD to be pulled out and made visible from each side.
"Once we knew we had conduit run [to that location], we ran the wire to the TV. And seeing how they used the kitchen, we could move the TV over there," Seira says.
The result is a striking column bar/TV stand that looks sleek, modern, and puts the concrete column to great use. In fact, it's hard to notice that the large column is there.
In addition, the LCD can be positioned for optimal viewing during food preparation and entertaining. Meanwhile, in-ceiling James Loudspeaker speakers fire from above the counter to fill the space with music or audio from the TV. Audio and video from distributed home-wide systems are available in the kitchen. A counter-top AMX Modero control panel is the only other technology that's visible in the room, and it can control everything in the house, including the motorized shades for the floor-to-ceiling windows.
This kitchen may not have the woop-de-woo of the living room's hi-fi audio and video, but it sure looks like a great place to gather and grab a bite, watch the news, keep track of a game, or listen to some music with an evening cocktail. We'll toast to that.

For pure tanking:
Tauren More Hp, cast stun
Belf Less HP, instant interupt
Nelf 2% avoidance
Dwarf (additional CD) 10% damage reduction and bleed/poison remove.
Hey guys. I quit WoW just after Firelands came out, and have decided to come back into it with a vengence now, and really hammer out a character that I can be proud of; I will be starting afresh, new characters, on a new server. And I'll be playing a DK Tank. I'm not sure what faction yet, but I want my racials to factor into what faction I take, as I want to eventually, either in late-Cata, or early-MoP, get into hardcore raiding with my DK as a serious tank, and I don't want to be wasting money down the line with race changing.
Now I know just how little, overall, race matters, and some people will say "Go with what feels right", but honestly, nothing feels wrong. I could play any race, on either faction and be happy. The DK is a class I played during WotLK and loved it, and tanking has always been something I've loved doing.
Just for reference, my OS DPS spec will be Unholy, just incase people feel thats important.
So, my question is; from a pure raiding, and tanking standpoint alone - what race should my DK be?
For pure tanking:
Tauren More Hp, cast stun
Belf Less HP, instant interupt
Nelf 2% avoidance
Dwarf (additional CD) 10% damage reduction and bleed/poison remove.

[Today 06:48 PM] Ion:swimming in a natural body of water ISN'T acceptable...it's momentarily tolerable
Thanks for pointing it out. I play a caster so a silence might as well be a stun ;P
[Today 06:48 PM] Ion:swimming in a natural body of water ISN'T acceptable...it's momentarily tolerable
Anyway, to take into consideration what you said.. I was thinking Tauren, for the base health, mostly for the fact that as a DK Tank, my self-healing is based off my health, and thus a Tauren would get more self-healing and therefore be more effective. The Belf is a great choice also for the AoE Interupt and silence, which can be useful for pulling groups of casters and getting them into a nice concise group. I suppose it comes down to ultility. In regards the Night Elf, yes, the extra Avoidance is nice, but I feel as a DK who focuses more on self-healing rather then the traditional mitigiation stats, that its not -as- nice, whilst I am aware it is still important.
Statistically speaking for a DK wouldn't the racials which add Hit or Expertise actually be valued as "tanking" benefits. Unlike other tanking classes, a DK is reliant on actually being able to connect with Death Strike as part of how they tank.
If I were to rate them...
Night Elf
+2% Avoidance
+1% Hit
+3 Expertise
+Small Effective Health Bonus
The active cooldowns such as Arcane Torrent, Warstomp, Every Man for Himself, and so on needs to be considered on a situational basis. The actual value of these can't really be measured because in encounter design none of them should actually be required. One of these racials may be great in 10% of scenarios but worthless in the other 90% of scenarios. You can't predict how useful these abilities will be in the future, you can only determine how useful they are today. So I would favor looking at the passive bonuses which will always benefit you.
Night Elf it pretty much undisputably the strongest over all. Even before calculating deminishing returns, 2% avoidance requires more secondary stat points than 1% hit and 3 expertise combined.
All that aside though, you should just play whatever you want to. Unless you're in bleeding edge progression you don't really need to worry about min maxing even racials to that extreme.
"In anything, if you want to go from just a beginner to a pro, you need a montage." /w TankSpot WTB Montage for Raiders.
Goblin. Mobilty pawns all, and the haste is your best threat stat.
Thing is you are so concerned about racials, that by the time MoP comes out they could get revamped yet again.
I personally don't look at the racials when I make a character, I pick the race that I like. Which for the time being on Horde is Blood Elves and Goblins. For Alliance its Draenei, Night Elves, and Worgen.
The 2% avoidance on a nelf is a beautiful thing, but Goblins got it locked with the haste bonus and rocket jump. Their other racials aren't so bad either. Mobile personal bank and cheaper repairs can be very helpful.
I'm way better at holding my liquor than a panda.

Big or small, extravagant or minimal, traditional or modern…weddings, like couples, come in all shapes, sizes, and budgets. For every lavish ceremony set atop a tulle-draped mountaintop, there is a quiet morning spent in City Hall. We camped out in front of NYC's iconic City Hall to document the flow of 'I Do'-ers who chose to trade in the pomp and circumstance for something a littler simpler. Check out the 14 beautiful couples who caught our eye…now, can you pass the Kleenex?

Hello Anoli and thanks for sharing your work. The use of lace is wonderful in depicting the intricies that are a part of many women's lives, particularly when it comes to care, and the thoughtfulness that can be a part of that care. As well as the dinner table, so symbolic of the work that many women do. It makes me think about the importance of food in so many women's lives and the part it plays in bringing families together. Have you seen the work of Bobby Baker (a google search will find her), she often turns this around in that she can pin food to her jacket, like it has become a part of herself. But, funnily enough, for me, the table and associations are relevant the lace, not so much. My mother crochered hundreds of blankets for all the extended family, but in my mind she wasn't a lacey person, she was big, bold, brash, noisy, and argumentative and in many ways the lace, to me, symbolises a cage in which she was trapped (maybe that was something you were getting at). Thanks, Joannie
