These two proteins improve endurance, reduce muscle damage, increase rehydration and enhance the overall effectiveness of this Protein-Powered Sports drink mix. All Natural Accelerade is scientifically proven to reduce muscle and brain fatigue, so you can experience faster, better energy for your body and mind.

- You will rehydrate 40% better
- Your muscles will recover 40% faster

Pumphouse KOM power analysis
October 23, 2011 at 8:29 pm 7 comments
Wow, what a week this has been for the Strava KOM shoot-out. I thought for sure I had Pumphouse signed, sealed, and delivered – but no – Paul "TreeTrunk" Tower came along today and set down a blistering time of 2'22" with an average speed of 20.4mph on the 0.8 mile climb. Still, here is the data from my 2'25" effort (20.0mph) yesterday, which put a bulge in my Golden Cheetah critical power curve: (I can only imagine what Paul's power must have looked like since he weighs a few pounds more than me!)

Depending on the direction of my research when I get a faculty position somewhere, I think it would be awesome to take a deeper look at all of your data. Theoretically, there should be 3 distinct regions on a power curve like the one you have displayed…one for each energy system used by the muscle (if you care about ex phys type stuff those are CPK, glycolysis, oxidative phos.). Cycling is really interesting in this perspective b/c nearly all cyclists are endurance athletes, but some excel at TT's, others at climbing, and others in sprints, so it'd be neat to see how the individual power curve changes between specialists. Cycling is also awesome b/c so many cyclists are data nerds and have all of these files (and it's way easier to get power measurements as opposed to swimming or running). Anyway…I could talk about it for a long time, but i'll stop now, but keep saving all that data…and let me know when I can get some muscle biopsies from you.
Nice work Brian.
One thing that I think about a lot is how analysis is only as good as the data. I think the data recorded by the Garmin devices is generally pretty good, or at least consistent. By comparison, the iPhone is generally pretty terrible. Look at the elevation plot recorded by Paul's iPhone on his Pumphouse KOM, then compare to yours. Something aint right there…
I was using Nichole's Garmin when I did Pumphouse, not my iphone :-)
@Ed…right on about excelling at different things…especially when you compare pure cyclists to triathletes. as a triathlete (and probably for most triathletes), my power curve has always been pretty flat…my high end power (like 0-5 minutes) is not that great, but anaerobic threshold or 60MP is pretty high (relative to my 5MP). so when I started doing this Strava shootout thing…going hard for say, ~2-5 minutes, it has been sooo painful because I rarely work at those kinds of power outputs for those kinds of durations!! I can tell i've been adapting to it even in the past 2-3 weeks though, which is pretty cool. the human body is so fascinating in the way it adapts to physical stimuli.

text: Well firstly, not that impressed with the looks to be honest inside and out, the big different coloured stripes may be bold but they also look a bit daft and the interior looks a mess. The engine lineup also doesn't impress, 1L 68bhp and a 1.2 82bhp, why no 3 cylinder turbo option.? As ever price will be key to how successful it is so will have to wait and see.

A program first created in secret by Microsoft Corporation and funded by the US Navy, the sole purpose of which was supposed to be to delete files saved onto the hard disk and not allow any external hardware to be installed on the computers of terrorists. Somehow Bill Gates found out that it could, concievably, be used as an operating system and be used by any normal person with a minumum of 6 years computer training. Needless to say, it made him millions.
Godammit, Windows XP is a piece of shit! *bangs computer*

I am a network administrator for a company called Audio Video. I know computers in and out. Windows XP is one of the worst OS's Microsoft has made yet. Win2k Pro is actually the best. Easy to network, very nice layout, not TOO userfriendly like XP, and with 2k you can define your own settings. XP is so user friendly that you cant do what you really want to do. Very unstable, and doesn't support most advanced scripts. Most XP computers don't even support OpenGL. That my friend, is sad.
Windows XP is like taking Win98 and making it look even worse. Now that my friends, is a bad OS.

An Experimental Project (XP) released upon the masses of computer users, tooted as the latest and greatest operating system, which, in theory sounds great, however in practice, causes nothing more than problems, headaches, and nausea, and high job turnover rates for Network Administrators.
This fucking Windows X-perimental Project has crashed yet again, and insists upon sending an error report to MicroSoft. Un-be-fucking-lieveable. You'd think that after 20 years in the market, they'd have come up with something more stable...

Below are the available bulk discount rates for each individual item when you purchase a certain amount
The re-cleanable Super Sterasyl™ filter elements remove suspended solids, parasites, cysts and pathogenic bacteria and reduce organic chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, organic solvents, trihalomethanes, SOCs, VOCs and foul tastes and odors. These filter elements are produced using the latest ceramic techniques to provide a hollow porous ceramic which is fired at a temperature in excess of 1000C. They are designed to operate with water flow going from the outside to the inside of the element. Each element has a unique domed ceiling assuring that leakage cannot occur, which may happen with capped filters.
The ceramic shell exhibits a strictly controlled pore structure, so as to provide efficient sub-micron filtration, a proven defense against hard shelled parasites, as well as removing other less harmful, but equally unpleasant debris, such as rust and dirt. The bore of the filter contains granular activated carbon that aids in the reduction of chlorine and reduces organic chemicals along with improving the color, taste, and odor of the source water. The filter needs to be kept in a place where the temperature is between 40 – 100 F for proper filtration.
The Sterasyl™ ceramic contains pure silver. This silver is a material designed to significantly inhibit bacteriological mitosis grow through. The result is that bacterial growth is inhibited from occurring within this ceramic element (which is possible with the other ceramic filter elements). This silver content insures that filtered water contains levels well below those required by international standards. Because of the silver, Sterasyl™ filter elements do not require sterilization after cleaning.
Super Sterasyl™ ceramic filters are manufactured to the following international standards and have been tested and approved by the following independent bodies or agencies:

I took a trip to Mexico some years back for about two months. I used this type of water filter for all of my drinking water needs. For two months all of my drinking water was local water sources through this water filter. Never once did I experience intestinal problems. My wife is from the Philippines. When we go there even the so-called filtered water makes me and Her sick. With a similar ceramic filter I am able to use the tap water through the filter for all of my drinking and cooking needs without getting sick.

Lets Talk Blinds - Live Chat
or Call Us
I was a little anxious ordering blinds from a web site. I live on the water and windows are an important part of the house. But the roller shades I ordered worked perfectly. And were so simple to install. Literally, they were up within minutes.
This is the second time I ordered these shades. I live on a cove and they allow me a view even when pulled down. But block the blinding sun. This time they were delivered earlier than expected. And for anyone wondering if they can install these shades alone, YOU CAN!
We have three difficult windows in our family room that cause extreme glare on our TV. After visiting two popular box stores, I found that the roller shades I wanted were very, very expensive and the product they offered wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I also visited another specialty store only to find out that they had gone out of business due to the declining economy. I needed an inexpensive way to solve this problem so I went on-line to search for a product similar to what I had seen in the decorating catalogs in the box stores. Select blinds was the best value out there. Their prices blew me away. Ordering was easy, all the hardware was included, the instructions were very simple and, after they were installed, the problem was solved and they looked great. Thank you, Select blinds. I've bookmarked your website and will be placing another order shortly.
The roller blind I ordered was more than I expected in quality and ease installing. I'm very pleased with this product and plan to order another one.

Territorial fights emerge in the interregional transmission plans proposed for compliance with FERC Order 1000.
Presumed Power
Growing gas storage depends on fair regulatory treatment.
cost-based reserve price using estimated project costs and existing, FERC-approved, cost-of-service components from its other rates. FERC found reserve prices to be reasonable if based on arms-length prices between the applicant and its customer, or between a competing storage seller and its customer, excluding affiliate transactions in both situations. Further, such prices should occur within a reasonable time prior to the auction, i.e., 12 months. The auction term should match the contract term used to set the reserve price, and tariffs should delineate the geographic area where sellers are considered competitors. The applicant proposed to account separately for its market-based and cost-based storage services, which FERC required to be cross-referenced under its regulations. Sufficient protections were in place to protect cost-based storage service customers, whose capacity would remain subject to the applicant's tariff and cost-based rates when their contracts expired. Only customers using the newly-created storage capacity would pay the costs associated with the new facilities. The applicant bore the risks of any cost overruns or revenue under collections.
• Texas Gas: Tariff GT&Cs protect customers : With exceptions that were resolved after a later compliance filing, FERC found that Texas Gas had protected customers adequately with an open season, including an incremental, cost-based reserve price. 25 When contracts for existing, cost-based storage services expire, that capacity would continue to be posted for sale under the applicant's current tariff subject to cost-based rates. The storage expansion was incremental to the existing storage services, and the level and quality of the existing services were unchanged, with the applicant bearing the risks of any cost overruns or revenue under-collections. Storage expansion facilities' costs and revenues received separate accounting. Only customers using the expansion facilities would pay the associated costs, and the market-based storage services were governed by the applicant's FERC tariff GT&Cs.
Before Texas Gas's filing of its revised proposal, FERC had disagreed that the proposed auction would protect customers. The revised proposal ensured lawful rates 26 by meeting FERC's Order No. 637, et al. requirements for a transparent auction, initiated either by the applicant or a customer. The reserve price for the initial, unsubscribed capacity auction was the price agreed to by a non-affiliated customer in the project's open season. For later auctions, the reserve price was either that agreed to in arms-length negotiation with a non-affiliated customer, or a price no higher than the storage expansion facilities' cost-based rate using previously vetted FERC ratemaking components. The applicant couldn't exercise market power when it initiated an auction or when there was no price agreement because it had to post a reserve price no higher than the cost-based reserve price. FERC also rejected the applicant's proposal to offer, in addition to its existing, cost-based interruptible storage service, a new, market-based rate interruptible storage service without an auction. Distinguishing the NGA §4(f) final rule and its market-power presumption from the traditional approach for market-based rates, FERC saw no consumer safeguards to prevent physical or economic withholding of storage capacity. Finally, capacity available for existing, cost-based interruptible service wouldn't be affected adversely because nomination, scheduling,

It has not been public investments in sustainable fuels and modern tools that have led to the re-awakening of the U.S. economy. Rather, it's been mostly private investment in shale gas development...
The Art of the Plausible
Prospects for clean energy legislation in 2011.
new three-pollutant bill, but remains open to the possibility if enough participants in the power sector can agree on what it should contain. 9 Another possible approach to addressing the situation was included by Sen. Lugar in his CES proposal from last year, which adopted a 2018 retirement "glide path" option available to utility units that would otherwise have to shut down earlier to comply with expected new EPA requirements.
If any of these legislative scenarios come to pass—and that is a very big "if"—the administration essentially would have to decide whether to veto them or be willing to trade, in exchange for a CES, a prohibition on EPA's authority to regulate GHGs under the CAA, and perhaps some legislative adjustments to elements of EPA's power plant regulations or other regulatory reforms related to domestic energy production. While it's unclear whether the administration has already decided at some level to proceed down that path if necessary, President Obama's SOTU didn't include, as some wanted, a strong endorsement of EPA's air regulatory programs or its GHG permitting rules. A CES deal, and the resulting GHG emission reductions, could also lessen the administration's need for EPA's GHG regulatory authority to achieve GHG reductions. Finally, the administration is keenly aware that it can't lose every coal state and win re-election, and it might decide that, on balance, a CES mandate and a ban on EPA's GHG regulatory authority helps its coal-state politics.
While some Senate Democrats have already publically disclaimed any interest in such a compromise, it is still early, and the Obama administration might want a CES. But federal energy politics are always more complex than the simple binary partisan differences that make the headlines. While politics is the art of the possible, a grand compromise between the administration and Congress on a CES and GHG and power plant regulations seems merely plausible.
Energy Policy Possibilities
Since energy policy issues are generating at least some legislative interest, it seems useful to consider the sorts of specific pieces that might be in play. Most of these can be found in legislation introduced last term or, with respect to a GHG permitting ban, under consideration by Congress this term. The primary pieces of legislation stem from the concepts (but not necessarily the specifics) of: 1) the different CES proposals introduced by Lugar and Graham last Congress; 2) a GHG moratorium or bar as introduced in the House and Senate this year; and 3) the three-pollutant bill (NOx, SOx and mercury) introduced by Carper and Alexander last year. These pieces of proposed legislation have all sought to address in some fashion clean and renewable energy, EPA GHG regulation and elements of the forthcoming EPA power plant regulations.
• CES Basics: The idea for a CES, which is essentially a renewable electricity standard that includes additional "clean" sources like nuclear, carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) or energy efficiency, isn't new in any respect. It's a technology-based performance standard— i.e., compliance must come from the limited suite of technologies or fuels selected. At the same time, it retains elements

There is hidden art at the heart of the Rock of Cashel. If you haven't seen it, look again
Standing on Tipperary's most famous hill, with the former seat of Munster's high kings behind you and the vast forever-green spread of the Golden Vale in front, there's one person who doesn't spring to mind… Justin Timberlake.
The fact is, though, that the Celtic cross that adorns Timberlake's left shoulder has its roots in places like this.
In the ancient. In the Rock of Cashel.
Whether or not this link to the Rock is intentional, we don't know. But the Rock has given the world some of the most symbolic images of Christian Ireland. And that's no surprise when you consider that this grouping of medieval buildings in the heart of County Tipperary is the most visited heritage site in Ireland.
One of its most spectacular features is the 12th-century round tower, to the east of which sits a stone cross. Dappled with yellow and flecks of white, this sign of Celtic Ireland is a stoic, back-breaking load.
It's the kind of modest creation that now swings from necks, gets tattooed onto arms, curls around wrists and is slipped on fingers when the question is popped.
The intimidating pile of the Rock of Cashel isn't exactly the type of place you'd associate with creative inspiration. For jewellery designer Vincent Byrne, though, it's just that:
"The High Crosses you'll find at the Rock of Cashel have become iconic designs in jewellery and now actually, they're one of the most popular pendants in the world. Some experts believe Saint Patrick created this form of cross.
"The idea is that he took the traditional Christian cross and combined it with the Sun Cross in an attempt to convert pagans to Christianity. Still, I reckon that's ambiguous at best..."
Maybe Justin Timberlake knows the real story?

Parry should lead dodge, though by how much is a tricky question to answer, the mastery you have the more parry should lead, however the further into diminishing returns you get, the less parry should lead.
Protection warrior here, starting to get into endgame raiding much more, and I've been having questions about what I should be reforging to. First time poster on Tankspot, as well.
Before we start, let me say that I KNOW I should have Mastery on everything I own, and that it's my most important stat. My real question is between parry/dodge. I've heard some people say they should be as close as possible, but others say my parry should lead my dodge. I've even heard someone say it should be the other way. Basically I want to know which of these is true. Currently, I'm sitting at 13.64% dodge, 16.67% parry, and 51.16% block.
Any and all help is much appreciated.
Parry should lead dodge, though by how much is a tricky question to answer, the mastery you have the more parry should lead, however the further into diminishing returns you get, the less parry should lead.
The concept of "diminishing returns" has always been a bit strange to understand for me. Could you explain to me briefly what it is, and when it starts to kick in for parry or dodge?
Basically the more of a stat rating you stack the less of that stat it gets you. The following example is hyperbole for demonstrations:
Say warriordude has 0 parry rating (and 0 dodge rating), and he gets a sword with 1parry rating on it, that parry rating increase his chance to parry by 1%. Next boss a shield drops that also has 1 parry rating on it, if he equips it he goes up to 2 parry rating in total, but this gives him a total increase in parry chance of 1.8%. The first parry rating bought him 1%parry, the next parry rating only bought him 0.8% additional parry.
Now lets rewind the clock and say rather getting a shield drop, he gets a trinket drop with 1 dodge rating on it, because this is his first point of Dodge rating it doesn't suffer from diminishing returns at all so buys him a whole 1% dodge chance. So he now has a 1% chance to dodge and a 1% chance to parry. A total of 2% increase in avoidance.
The above is all hyperbole but DR stars as soon as you have stats, it just doesn't make alot of difference, there's no break point where it suddenly start kicking in, it just continually kicks in more and more as you stack a stat more and more,.
This is why paladins and Death Knights like to have balanced or near balanced avoidance ratings, since parry and Dodge tend to be easily reforged into one another they get more total avoidance from their total ratings by putting them into whichever stat (dodge or parry) they have the least rating currently in.
Warriors for the most part are the same except we have the Hold the Line Talent, which means with increase the chance of our blocks being critical (double sized) for 10 seconds after parrying, which means for overall damage reduction it pays to parry slightly more than it does to doge to increase the uptime on the HtL buff. The actual break point is a little complicated to calculate, and generally should be done with either simming or someone else head, or a site you trust.
As far as warrior tanks are concerned the only stats that have diminishing returns are Parry rating, dodge rating, and Armour. and for most

Probably. Rightly or wrongly I keep mine closer together, just under 2% less dodge than parry but i'm more concerned with getting unhittable that maximising the damage reductions.
One thing to keep in minfd is that wind walk is 600dodge rating ~33% time, Kings is also a lump of parry as is battle shout and their equivalents so if those are gonna be up in raid s its worth reforging to optimise whith those up
That's a good point. I'll play around with that idea.
Also, just to make sure, I should never bother reforging/gemming/enchanting for hit/expertise, correct? At least on the current patch.
No, at present Expertise is approximately zero, and hit is worth slightly more half of that.
But do consider having a 'threat set' with some odd pieces of expertise/hit gear for stuff like trash clears or heroics, just for quality of life.
Oh yes, there's nothing like blasting through VP or LCotTV in less than 5 minutes.
Unhittable when parry+dodge+miss+block=102,4%
3.6% raid buffed.
3.6% off raid buffed.
I think he is saying you get 3.6% from raid buffs (Kings/Mark, Battle shout, Mastery Food, Mastery Flask). It might not be 3.6%, for me these buffs only give me 3.47% (because of the amount of parry I have DR kicks in a bit more).
Just add up your parry,dodge & block and add the standard 5% miss (nightelf racial gives extra misschance). The 2,4% is cause of bosses being 3 levels higher. Its 0,2% block, parry, dodge, miss per level adding up to 2,4% for 3 levels.
If you google unhittable macro you should get a few usable macro's for ingame.
Just remember to go back to normal sets for tough bosses (or raid night).

More than three quarters of the consumers surveyed believe that alternative energy brought benefits, and a slight majority, 54 percent, would pay an additional 5 percent on their electric bills....
Dynamic Pricing and Low-Income Customers
Correcting misconceptions about load-management programs.
climate zone.
Track A yielded results on two categories of low-income customers. First, snapshots of low-income and high-income customers were compared, with low-income customers having an average income of $40,000, and high-income having an average income of $100,000. Second, the price responsiveness of customers on the state's CARE program, who receive a discount on their electricity bill, was compared with the responsiveness of non-CARE customers.
Overall, high-income households were somewhat more price-responsive than low-income households; however, the difference wasn't substantial.
Track A compared the peak demand reductions of low-income ($40,000) and high-income ($100,000) customers, as well as CARE vs. non-CARE customers. Customers with average incomes of $100,000 exhibited average peak reductions of 16 percent on the CPP-F rate, while customers with average incomes of $40,000 exhibited average peak reductions of 11 percent (see Figure 6) . Similarly, non-CARE customers exhibited average peak reductions of 16 percent while CARE customers exhibited peak reductions averaging 3 percent.
Within Track B, designed to be representative of the low-income community, customers that received only information reduced peak demand by 1.15 percent, while those that were also placed on the CPP-F rate reduced peak demand by 2.6 percent.
Dynamic Pricing Evaluation
In several pilots and programs that utilities have performed, low-income customers did respond to dynamic rates, and many such customers benefitted even without shifting load. Consequently, when evaluating dynamic pricing, it's important to recognize that such rates may be beneficial to a large percentage of low-income customers.
While there's mixed evidence on the magnitude of the responsiveness of low-income customers relative to other customers, there's strong evidence across these five programs that low-income customers do respond to dynamic rates and, in many cases, that response is a load reduction exceeding 10 percent.
Furthermore, even without responding to dynamic rates, a large percentage of low-income customers will be immediate beneficiaries of dynamic rates due to their flatter-than-average load profiles. Finally, restricting access to dynamic rates may, in fact, be harmful to a large percentage of low-income customers.
1. See the white paper, "The Impact of Dynamic Pricing on Low Income Customers," posted on the Web site of the Institute of Electric Efficiency: http://www.edisonfoundation.net/iee/reports/index.htm.
2. In this sample, smaller customers tended to have flatter load shapes, and therefore also tended to experience immediate bill decreases. So, for the sample as a whole, the revenue change was close to zero, even though there were more winners than losers.
3. Another Smart Energy Pricing pilot was carried out in summer 2009, but there are no separate low-income results from the 2009 analysis.
4. In this pilot, the baseline was calculated by identifying ten non-event non-holiday weekdays preceding an event day, choosing the three highest kWh days while omitting any days not within 10 percent of the THI for the event day, and using these remaining days to calculate an average 24-hour load profile for each PTR customer.
5. In this case of hardship, comparisons were made based on treatment customers only, since there were no control customers with hardship status.
6. Although preliminary results from the Wolak

If you'll notice, a lot of stuff there boils down to healers liking either a) being responsible for saving a raid, or b) doing something out of the ordinary. I think some part of the reason is that we get so little praise in general. When you down a boss, there's some crowing about DPS, maybe the tank talks about his cooldown usage or something, but very rarely is a compliment paid to the healers. I can count on one hand the number of times after a fight that someone has said "man, that was awesome healing." My claim to fame was solo healing a Kael'thas attempt. Granted, it was at 80, but we were also 8 manning it. The Disc Priest we had died almost instantly, leaving me to run around and manage everything in that giant room. It was fun, but having people afterward go "how did you keep up with damage 100y away from each other as a Shaman?" made it better.
So compliment your healers, but don't patronize them. When they do something right, then mention it.
Also, personally, I hate criticism. To be honest, I don't care what you were doing in a particular fight, you didn't get a better view of what I was doing than I did, and I can figure out what I did wrong. So if you happen to get into a group with me, be very careful how you tell me to do something else. :P
I like it when I get the feeling that I made a difference - for instance I saved a person in a raid that would else die for sure.
"We have two ears and one mouth for a reason." - Buddhist belief.
I like it when all healers work together and help eachother out. I like it that if i am running for some sort of crap (like Anub pursue) that other healers heal 'my' target instead of going 'that wasn't my target to heal so i cba'.
I like it when tanks chain pull, otherwise i may just go roll a cigarette after every pull because of boredom.
I like to get water from a mage
I like to have a Soulstone
I like it when we get a clutch win because our healing crew played well as a team.
I like it when no one dies on a tough fight.
Looks like it's about the same as some of you
in the pre 80 pugs:
I like it when the new tanks listen as well as the dps (he... down 20%... then kill him, then go and kill him). Failure to do so = death as one group learned.
I like it when tanks are geared. Nothing like healing the pre 80's with tanks with int and mp5 and unsocketed gem slots and NO defense.
I like it when tanks play to the level of others. I enjoy this post 80 too.
I LOVE it when tanks recognize that certain spells on them mean "GO PULL"
I love appreciation for the fact I just carried the group for a bit. (getting harder to do in the early 70 instances now with bad tanks).
I love tanks that keep things off me.
I love tanks that win greed rolls and then give me whatever it was I lost on because it'll make me a better healer.
I enjoy helping others learn the game.
Post 80
I love the fact I recently did DTK in less than 10 minutes and appreciate the elite groups that not only do speed runs, but do them right and to perfection.
I love it when other healers in raids actually use add ons and heal well/quickly so I don't feel like i'm carrying the load.
I love tanks that know how to position for everyone in the group, not just themselves.
I love tanks that know how to interrupt and do.
oh... and i kind of enjoy making squishies feel like tanks in icc by keeping them alive after they were dunces and pulled aggro.
It makes me happy when raid groups are organized in such a way that people standing near each other during the encounter are in the same group.
I love pulling somebody out of the clutches of death at the very last moment and having them recognize the feat.
i like it when i heal a heroic and never go below 75%
i also like it when everyone realizes there are bad days and actually understand
i like it when in 5 mans the tank takes a fraction of a second sometimes before he runs off out of range again to let me loot as well............
My guild healers like it when they can stay in dps spec and beat someone else on dps stakes as well as healing the 5 man lol (happens quite alot too :P)
i always always praise my healers
especially if im in my dps gear and i accidently mash bladestorm to early loool
I very often will compliment a tank, in the randoms. Unfortunately, by the time I type out the compliment, he's usually gone, and the dead Boss just doesn't care...
I suppose I could make a macro, but it doesn't seem personal enough...
-"Just like a buzzin' fly, I come into your life, I'll float away, like honey in the sun..."--Tim Buckley
I like healing a group then being asked to switch to DPS because we have to many healers. It just makes when smile when people have been posting meters all night about their DPS numbers then I jump in and put them in their place with my off spec gear.
Granted it is rare I crack the top 6 anymore with our DKs, hunters, rogues and Mages all pushing 10K+

Wow, very nice and detailed. Much better than any video tutorial I've seen.
I managed to get my grid working how I want it to aside from one thing that isn't even important. I was under the impression that GridStatusRaidDebuffs came with a large majority of the debuffs already saved to it. If that's true, then I cannot find these debuffs to apply priority settings. I also am under the impression that you can download Debuff "packages" with Debuffs for new raid content, though I cannot find these packages through google. For now, I have been manually putting them in as needed.
If anyone knowledgeable of GridStatusRaidDebuffs could shed some light on this for me, it'd be much appreciated.
Again, very nice guide. There's a number of things you mentioned that I'm changing in my Grid setup after this post. Thanks.
Edit: One more question. I've tried swapping profiles using /grid profile(profile name). Grid responds, "(profile name) is not a valid option for /grid profile". So that must mean you can swap profiles with a /command because other wise it would've said "profile (profile name) is not a valid option for /grid." Anyone know what the correct command for this is? Then I can macro/keybind it and even set it so it doesn't swap in combat if I bump the hotkey. (Assuming it will allow you to swap it in combat. I've never tried, so Idk. lol)

Germany's Economic and Social Situation
Ranking Germany as a business site: Increasing economic integration on a global scale, European political consolidation, demographic shifts and financial crises in the national budget and in the social welfare system are the main challenges Germany faces in trying to maintain its attractiveness as a business location and provider of social services. The ability of economic and social institutions to perform and adapt will largely determine Germany's ability to return to low levels of unemployment numbers and steady growth. To prepare its economic system and institutions for new challenges, the country needs a social, economic and political model that provides consistent guidelines for reforms and helps citizens be open to and ready for change.
Focus Areas
Comparison renders a location's strengths and weaknesses as an economic and social site visible—this holds true for individual states within Germany as well as in international comparison among OECD nations. Aggregated rankings deliver the positions at a glance, while in-depth benchmarking analyses provide a detailed view of shortcomings and reveal starting points for economic and social policy. Looking beyond the garden gate also reveals tried and true practices and current reform efforts in other countries that can point the way in the reform debate here at home.more
A Viable Long-Term Model for Economic and Social Policy
The political reform debate is meeting with a willingness to change across a broad swath of the population. The long-term direction of reform policy is wide open and hotly debated. This lack of direction is compounded by a growing unease among the population about the future of the social welfare state and general economic development. Against this backdrop, what kind of viable long-term model for economic and social policy could offer Germany a hopeful outlook?more
Social Partnership
In Germany, labor and management greatly influence industry and business. The extensive transformation that is taking place in this sphere requires labor and management to change course in order to meet ongoing challenges. The Bertelsmann Stiftung aims to provide methodological help for labor and management during their transformative process. Our core projects involve objectifying the discussion and moderating to reduce conflict.

If you frequent the technology blogospheres, all you've likely heard for the last week or two is iPad, iPad, iPad. We managed to spend some time with Apple's hot-selling new product in a store setting, so here's our hands-on mini-review.
For as long as the iPad was rumored, its actual name was tossed about as well. While iPad was among the fray, so were the likes of iTablet, iGuide, and iTab. In hindsight, my favorite was iSlate, mainly because it conveys the essence of the industrial design.
From the back, it's nothing more than a cool, but not cold, slab of aluminum. From the front, it's a monolith of screen with just enough flush black bezel to help avoid inadvertent screen presses when holding by the edges.
A handful of other features of note are present, including the iPhone-style home button, dock connector, speaker openings, volume, and 3.5mm headphone port, but none grab attention away from the business-end that is the 9.7 inch 1024x768 screen. The screen can be cranked up as bright as you can comfortably view, but the middle setting was perfect for viewing in even the harsh lighting of a large electronics retailer (Best Buy, in this case).
The capacitive touch response will feel familiar to iPhone and iPod Touch owners, while the screen real estate allows for larger and broader swipes of the finger. Typing, however, is a completely different experience. With the increase in screen size, Apple has ditched the old-school typewriter feedback and replaced it with a more traditional color/contrast inversion. Use of the keyboard, with either one hand or two, is spacious and feels about as natural as a touchscreen can (without any haptic feedback, that is). Typing on the iPad is what I imagined when watching futuristic TV and Movies like the new Star Trek or Minority Report.
While hardly an expansive test, I did run through a handful of iPad-specific apps along with those originally developed for the iPhone and iPod touch. Basics like Safari, iPod, iTunes, and App Store are mostly unchanged from the iPhone and iPod Touch, but appropriately scaled for the new screen.
iPad-specific apps are obviously where this new device will shine. Either entertainment, productivity, or optimized web apps that make the most of the iPad's screen size are extremely enjoyable. Being a very video-oriented person, I spent a good bit of time test-driving streaming apps like those available from Netflix and ABC. The iPad's screen gives plenty of room to present well-engineered UIs (user interfaces) that make browsing large video libraries quite easy. Even over 802.11g WiFi, Netflix and ABC video streams quite quickly and free of dropouts. Video quality is excellent and I could easily see myself using the iPad extensively for this type of viewing when traveling (as opposed to tiny hotel CRT TVs and expensive pay-per-view).
Productivity apps like Apple's own iWork suite feel at home on the iPad, but likely won't be used extensively beyond casual edits or flipping through a few slides of a presentation. While typing on the iPad feels natural, it's just not capable of touch typing necessary for bulk input. The upcoming keyboard and keyboard+dock accessories may increase the productivity viability of the iPad, but the lack of multitasking is a big hurdle to overcome.
iPhone Apps
iPhone-oriented apps are right at home on the iPad as well, but are notably limited by their native resolution. When running an iPhone app, like the Madden 2010 app I did some testing with, you're given the choice of running at native resolution, or scaling by 2x to fill the screen. Scaling up to fit the screen means a big hit to fine detail and can bring out edge blocking, but the biggest disappointment is in menu interfaces.
While I can understand graphics simply being stretched to fit, menu structures using iPhone native interface attributes should scale much more cleanly. Instead, flick-through menus and toggles looks just as stretched and blocky as on-screen graphics and video.
What iPhone apps lack in scalability, they do make up for in abundance. While the whole "app for that" campaign feels a little played out at this point, it's still true. If there's a task you have in mind, you can probably find an app to help tackle it. If it's not a native iPad app yet, you can still get the job done with the iPhone version.
Given the iPad's form factor, it's clear Apple will be gunning for e-readers like the Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Noble Nook. Having spent time with all three, the iPad reading experience is a completely different one. While the Kindle and Nook do a great job of mimicking the feel of paper with their E-Ink displays, the iPad tries much less to emulate a book and instead embraces its back-lit color screen.
Instead of pretending to be paper, the iPad presents reading material much more like text on a computer screen. Text feels crisper because of the increased contrast of a backlit screen, and occasional illustrations are rendered in full-resolution color. While hardcore paper book readers and purists may not be impressed, I appreciate this approach. I grew up on a mix of comic books and sci-fi paperbacks, so I love the vivid display and can't wait to see how digital comics translate.
While the iPad may be gunning for the Kindle, Amazon will likely sell plenty of books to iPad owners thanks to its updated Kindle app, which takes full advantage of the new device's expanded capabilities. Thankfully Apple is open to alternative e-reader apps, unlike other apps that crossover with the device's native functionality.
While far from an in-depth review, my limited time with the iPad has given me an overall glowing impression of the device. That said, anyone considering making a purchase needs to keep expectations in check. This isn't a PC (or a Mac) and it's not going to replace one. Instead, it's much more likely to do everything you thought your iPod Touch or iPhone might do, but a lot better. Casual web browsing, news, low-key gaming, and video are bound to be the iPad's strong point. You're not going to pound out a thesis or run multi-source pivot tables, and even with a keyboard add-on, this is still a casual device. While the iPad is a sliver of the size of most laptops, and only has a sliver of the power and total functionality, the piece that it takes on it does so with exceeding grace and usability.

Demand response reduces overall energy usage, but the magnitude of the reduction depends on whether the technologies are developed and deployed with efficiency in mind.
2008 Regulators Forum: Putting Efficiency First
New rate structures prioritize conservation, but will customers buy it?
past 20 years, and by all accounts it's been very successful, and is one of the reasons customer usage of electricity has remained essentially flat since the 1970s while it's continued to grow across the country. We have evidence that suggests it isn't going to be a problem.
Ervin (N.C.): There is a substantial public perception issue that needs to be addressed, and we ran smack into it with a natural gas case a couple of years ago. We had approved a two-schedule natural gas rate design that was intended to have categories for seasonal natural gas customers and year-round customers. It charged the year-round customers a lower rate in an attempt to reflect the better utilization they made of the system. We then got a huge public backlash, because in the preceding winter, when natural gas prices had spiked in the aftermath of Katrina, we'd done everything we could to encourage conservation and we got a reasonable response from that. When this two-schedule rate design went into effect, we got inundated by people who said, 'You mean to tell me I followed your advice and conserved, and because of my conservation I don't meet the usage necessary to qualify for this year-around rate, and therefore my rate goes up?'
We thought that was a valid point, and we changed the rate structure to a summer-winter rate, which made more sense. But the controversy over that rate put front and center the notion that people expect that if they conserve their rate will go down. We all know that's unlikely. If you go down the efficiency road, the effect frequently is to increase per-unit costs to some extent in the interest of reducing overall bills. I'm not sure the average customer understands there may be a trade off, and their rate isn't necessarily going down.
Smith (Idaho): In a pending rate case we've been asked to consider inclining block rates. With inclining block rates, if you do conserve you can get into a block with a lower rate. Maybe the message here is conservation may expose warts in our existing rate design.
Ervin (N.C.): A lot of us need to look at our rate designs. We're engaged in a study at the request of our legislature to look at a host of rate designs, including decoupling.
Smitherman (Texas): The issue of decoupling is something we're going to be talking about in my state, probably pretty soon. But I think it's going to be driven more by advanced-meter issues than energy efficiency issues. Once you get these advanced meters deployed, then the customer has the ability not just to slow their increase in demand, but to save 10, 15 or 20 percent off their bill. That's when I think the wires and poles companies and citizens will begin to ask hard questions.
Our wires and poles charge is a pretty small component of the total charge that any customer has today, and within that the recovery factor for energy efficiency is a small number within a small number. So presently it's not a

Despite the cold turn in the weather, we're really warming up thanks to news just in that Kim, Khloe and Kourtney are building a beauty empire. Yes, there's no stopping this trio. The glossy Kardashian sisters are branching out into the beauty world beginning with a tanning line, says WWD, which is fitting since they are always so perfectly golden in colour. The range, which will be called Kardashian Sun Kissed, will be made up of five tanning products and is due out in April.
"I think tanning has really been a way of life for all of us, living in California," Kim says. "Especially, more recently, the need for sunless tan. When I travel, the one thing that makes me feel alive whether or not I have makeup on is a tan, especially in my face. When you travel, you can't just go lay out. I do like regular tanning because I have psoriasis, and the tanning beds are particularly good for that. Every time I put sunless tan before, it wouldn't be even — so we wanted a system that was really easy but yet is a full system."
The range will be reasonably priced and include everything from a Body Exfoliator to an Instant Sunless Spray and even a Tan Extender – yes, they've thought of everything. Even better is the quality of the products too. "[We] came up with something that is still good for your skin and healthy for you; everything is paraben- and sulphate-free," Kourtney said. "We love beauty and fashion, but making sure we're taking care of our bodies is crucial to us."
Whilst talking about their b=new beauty venture, the sisters also spoke of their beauty faux-pas in the past – yes even they have had a few. "The frosted eye shadow I wore in the sixth grade is definitely not something I'd try to wear again," Khloé said. "Why would someone ever let me go to school with blue eye shadow? I should ground one of you guys for that!"
"Years ago, more is more was my motto — like lots of lashes on top of a smoky eye," Kim admitted. "I love makeup, but I've found different ways of contouring and highlighting." Hmmm, we thought you were still a fan of this look if your recent Kimye outings are anything to go by…
"When I was younger, I'd always wash my face at night, but I wasn't so passionate about my skin-care regimen," Kourtney added. "Now, I'm so OCD about it. I'm much more careful about going to bed with a clean face and putting my creams on."
The tanning line is actually seen on the girls shows, which over the years have included Keeping Up With the Kardashians and Kourtney & Khloé Take Miami. "We have our makeup line, fragrances and now tanning, and you'll see those things when the cameras are following us around, especially to creative meetings," said Kim. "The audience likes to see how the design all comes together from beginning to end. Also, we get our products early, so by the time it airs, the new products are in stores."
So do you want to tan like a Kardashain? Check out their most tan-tastic moments in the gallery below...

A unique synthesis of extended ternary form, sonata form and fantasy, the Barcarolle is separated from its sentimental archetype by an unbridgeable gulf. And the gulf is widened and deepened by some of Chopin's most sophisticated harmonies, including lengthy chromatic modulations that are seemingly without a clear tonal goal, and a use of dissonance that extends well beyond classical norms. At the same time—and this makes the work all the more powerful—the composer retains the principal outward features of the popular genre: the 12/8 metre, the moderate tempo, the measured, ostinato-like, rocking accompaniment and the cantilena melodic line led in double notes (mostly thirds and sixths). It is worth noting that these generic features do appear in several earlier works by Chopin, including all four Ballades and above all the G major Nocturne Op 37 No 2, really a barcarolle in disguise. But in the end Op 60 stands as a solitary masterpiece, carrying the gentle swaying lyricism of the vernacular genre through to the powerfully climactic perorations of its final stages.
