The defense cap is 540.
Stam Czar will arrive shortly.
I'm hoping someone valiantly steps up and helps me out here. We have a warrior tank in our fairly accomplished 10 man guild that I am at odds with. . . . I play a feral tank, so I know plenty about tanking. . . enough to know that he is doing things wrong. I just don't know enough about Warrior to really help him.
Here is a link to his armory: The World of Warcraft Armory
The gear is the gear. He has only been back playing for about a month, and is working on getting it up where it should be. The real problem for me is his gem choices and his enchants. Raid buffed he is only at 39k. . . in caster form (Feral druid) I have that much. . . So I know something is wrong there. He is also absolutely sure (heh) that he needs to be at the hit cap, otherwise his threat will suck.
Currently, his threat is awesome. He pulls down a pretty steady 7500 tps, which is great. But I hold steady that a dead tank does 0 tps. I cant imagine dropping a bunch of +hit for +stam would have that big of an effect on his performance.
Can someone just verify for me that after the non-crit cap (its like 580 def, right?) that he needs to stack Stam for heroics/hardmodes/progression? And maybe give me an idea of what enchants he should be replacing.
Thanks so much for your time!

The defense cap is 540.
Stam Czar will arrive shortly.

After crit immunity, which is 540 defense, he should be stacking stamina, yes. Hit is nice, but it's not really required if you have a good threat rotation, and it sounds like he does.
Your warrior isn't hit capped anyway (and doesn't need to be). He is way way over what he needs for Expertise, which should only be 26. Up until that 26, expertise is better than hit for threat. There is no reason why he should be gemming for defense either. He seems to be trying too hard on the avoidance front when he should be going for more stamina. This is true of his trinkets as well. He should try to get some stamina trinkets to put in there, such as Jugg's Vitality/Satrina's Scarab, or The Black Heart, or whatever else.
While hit rating is important, expertise is far more superior. The defense CAP is in fact 540 so he is way over that. He could use to upgrade his 24 stam gems to 30 and get rid of the defense rating gems. Keep in mind though he is also not using any stam trinkets. A tank gets anywhere for 220 to 400 stam from trinkets of the like, which will really up his health. For heroics and such, avoidance is fantasmic but as far as progression content, he needs to be able to withstand the big hits.

His gear looks ok to me. He COULD switch some of his gems to 30 stam, namely the gems in his gloves, belt and pants. They could all be 30 stam and he would be fine. Have him pick up the Triumph pants when he gets enough emblems too.
I usually run around 140 hit and am fine for threat. Expertise however is a biggie, but he seems to have plenty (26-27 is the soft cap for dodges). One should only gem for expertise and hit if threat is an issue, aka the dps is consistently pulling off him.
As for the def "cap" its 535 for heroics and 540 for raids. Resilience can also be factored into that (like the 30 stam 15 resil shoulder enchant). You just have to hit 5.4% uncrittable.
Really he could use a stam trinket, like The Black Heart out of H ToC and the Glyph of Indomitability (armor trinket from triumph emblems)
His gear is fine for everything up to TotC 10. I wouldn't want to take him into ICC with that HP though.
~Hope this helps!~
The Black Heart drops in reg ToC 5.
RNGesus - Saving you unreliably since BC.
first things first, if he is serious, he needs to get rid of the blue quality gems, replacing them with epic ones. Next, he needs to drop all the + def gems, as he is already over the cap. Honestly though, a tank doesn't need to worry to much about hit cap as a dps. I know there will be some who disagree with me, but id rather be able to take a hit instead of putting out a little more threat. His glove enchant could be replaced by armsman(2% more threat +10 parry rating)
Also it looks like he worries to much about mediocre socket bonuses and hence why he is geming with some of the +def and hit.
He also needs a weapon enchant if you didnt know that already (blade ward, blood draining or mongoose tend to the go to choices)
Honestly, what he needs to do is just shell out the cash for a few gem upgrades and he'll be good
"Ive always wondered what we warriors say to make people attack harder, be healthier, or taunt mobs" -Orla
Nice short answer: Your Warrior is an idiot; use a good rotation, gem stam & glyph taunt.
Long version, reasoning behind that statement
Tell him to come spend some time on TankSpot since he seems to be lacking in class knowledge
- Prior to ICC there was virtually 0 hit itemization on ToC gear upgrades, thus it was advised to ignore hit and max out other stats. At this point threat should be a non-issue for any decent Prot Warrior that is over the soft cap for expertise (26). For tank swaps utilize the taunt glyph (replacing vigilance or heroic strike) so that you don't have to worry about missing taunts.
- He is gemming hit which is a TERRIBLE choice for any kind of progression. Stam is the way to go 99% of the time unless using a different gem to fill a meta requirement or for a really nice socket bonus (not counting a block set).
- He has 565 defense and is gemming defense? wtf, 540 is the minimum which he is well over.
- Shoulder enchant 15 def? Replace that with the hodir rep enchant of 20 dodge & 15 defense or 30stam/15resil from honor
- Replace all non-epic gems with 30 stam
- Replace 22 agility enchant to cloak with either 225 armor or 16 defense
- Trinkets: the dodge trinket is more of a druid thing and is not a good choice for Prot Warriors in most cases. Replace with Juggernaut, Heart of Iron or even Brewfest trink. The Onyxia trinket is terrible unless using it in an anub'arak ad block set, replace it with something easy to get like The Black Heart - Item - World of Warcraft if he doesn't have anything better
- Enchant weapon with something
- EH - Blood draining
- Avoidance - Bladeward
- Threat - Accuracy
- Cheap - Weapon Chain
- Respec: he is currently 8/8/55 which is a bad choice that doesn't maximize survivability or threat or anything lol. Consider:
- Half/Half (my choice): 15/3/53 Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
- Survivability: 5/15/51 http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#LVZGV...idczsGo:TcAMmz - or - 5/10/53 Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
- Threat (old standard): 15/5/51 Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

For 10,000 honor he can get 30 stam/15 resil shoulder enchant that is by far the best one available.
Tell him to get rid of the hit gems. He doesn't need to have 198 hit rating. I tanked most of TotC\ToGC with around 115 hit rating because the gear in there has such little hit on it. If you looked at top warrior tanks before ICC, all of them were around 105 - 115 hit. Some of them were as low as 65 hit. The most important thing for a warrior tank's threat is to stay expertise capped. If your tanking a boss such as 25 Lord Jaraxx Heroic, then yes hit is fairly important because you don't want to miss an interrupt on a cast that can one shot you. For that, I recommend swapping out hit pieces since you don't take much damage tanking him anyways. Other then that, EH is the way to go for every boss in TotC (unless of course your an add tank on Anub).
Thanks for the helpful replies guys. To answer the one persons assertion of him being an idiot, that's far from the truth. As we stated, he just came back after one of many long hiatus' from the game and is getting back into the swing of things. Some of his gemming/enchanting choices are due to the massive number of upgrades he was getting here for a while as we started to gear him up from a naxx10 tank. It's hard for him to justify upgrading some things when he is tight on cash and likely to upgrade the item soon anyways. So, I can handle those things, it is the fascination with hit gemming and not getting stamina that had us most concerned.
Some of the gear discussed isn't an option as we are a Strict-10 guild (Juggernaut's for instance), but I'm sure we can get him some other stamina trinkets. Outside of the first attempt on Marrowgar, we were able to keep him alive in ICC 10 fine, but I attribute that more to 3 solid healers, because it was obvious he was taking a lot more damage than our dr00d. (i'm biased-I'm one of the healers)
I tend to exaggerate and idiocy is more of a relative term. If he is open to recognizing flaws in gearing/itemization/stats then yes he is not an idiot and simply falls into the under-geared category.
Hit has never been a great stat and thus my impression when seeing him gem for it instead of far superior stats :P
Good replies,
Wrong forum.
READ THIS: Posting & Chat Rules
For instance, if i told you that i could sell you an item or enchant that is better than what you are currently using in every way by only a slight bit, but it would cost you 5kg, would you buy it? I know I would, because it would benefit the raid and increase our ability to succeed.
His unwillingness to enchant and gem gear because it MIGHT get replaced not only hurts him, but you as well. Do you think your healers would have had an easier time healing him if he had some more HP? Is your DPS that high to warrant his current choices in enchants and gems? Is he willing to shell out massive amounts of gold and time to get those upgrades?
From this point on, its not a gear question but a "is he dedicated" question.
"Ive always wondered what we warriors say to make people attack harder, be healthier, or taunt mobs" -Orla
Thanks so much for the replies, everyone =) Sorry about the wrong forum. . . my bad. :P
We have the $$ to make the changes that we need to make, and we will be making them this evening. . . The problem has been him wanting to go in a different direction than we think he should go. Now that I have confirmation that my initial thoughts were correct, we'll regem him.
Thanks again, and any other input is appreciated.
Uh, dodge is pretty horrible for druids much like parry on proc is garbage for DKs. It's actually better for those further down the diminishing returns curve (like block tanks). Having said that, I agree that stamina trinkets are the better option, as is Glyph of Indom in some situatons, obviously excluding magic heavy fights. Satorri has alread origami-ed a napkin in a post earlier concerning this.
- Trinkets: the dodge trinket is more of a druid thing and is not a good choice for Prot Warriors in most cases. Replace with Juggernaut, Heart of Iron or even Brewfest trink. The Onyxia trinket is terrible unless using it in an anub'arak ad block set, replace it with something easy to get like The Black Heart - Item - World of Warcraft if he doesn't have anything better
At the end of the day, the warrior is still in the pre-TOC days where avoidance had equitable value with EH, when everything was balanced. With ToGC 25, but before ICC, even some die-hard avoidance advocates were forced to turn to the EH dark side. He however, hasn't got on the bandwagon yet, and until his gear gets up to high level ICC gear, he does need to listen to comments here regarding EH Stacking. If he refuses to listen, well THEN we call him the proverbial idiot, after pointing him to Gormokk instagibs posts with fully geared tanks.

Tipster helps FBI put escaped bank robber back in jail
By FRANK MAIN AND STEFANO ESPOSITO Staff Reporters December 21, 2012 9:40AM
Joseph "Jose" Banks escaped from the Metropolitan Correctional Center at 71 W. Van Buren St. Last week, Banks told U.S. District Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer, "You'll hear from me!" after he was found guilty of bank robbery. | FBI photo

Updated: January 23, 2013 6:07AM
At the close of Joseph Jose Banks trial on bank robbery charges, a federal prosecutor told jurors that Banks may have escaped after his heists but "today he can't escape justice."
The jury took just two hours on Dec. 13 to convict Banks of robbing two banks and attempting to rob two others while wearing thrift-store disguises.
Then Banks tried to prove prosecutor Sheri Mecklenburg wrong. He and another convicted bank robber, Kenneth Conley, staged a daring escape from the federal jail in downtown Chicago early in the morning Tuesday.
But Mecklenburg was right in the end: Banks was captured late Thursday on the North Side — and he was back in court Friday to face justice.
Someone seeking a $50,000 FBI reward called with a tip that Banks was in an area where his mother used to live, according to a law enforcement source.
Authorities were continuing to hunt for Conley on Friday.
Banks, 37, quietly gave "yes" and "no" answers when he appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Sidney I. Schenkier, but didn't make any statements.
Banks, who was caught late Thursday night in the 2300 block of North Bosworth, faces up to five years in prison if he's convicted on escape charges.
During his court appearance Friday, Banks was dressed in an orange jumpsuit and was secured in shackles reinforced with a padlock. His restrained hands were in front of him.
Defense attorney Beau Brindley said his client is a "mild-mannered" person and added that the media coverage suggesting that he was dangerous because of statements he made to another judge last week was "misleading."
FBI spokeswoman Joan Hyde said the bureau has received numerous tips from the public, but said she could not disclose what led agents to the location of the arrest.
Late Thursday, Banks was freely roaming the streets in apparel suited for the summer instead of a snowy December evening, witnesses said.
Hezekiah Harper-Bey, who lives next door to the two-story red brick apartment where Banks was caught, said he saw Banks on a cellphone outside with a white T-shirt and blue gym shorts before FBI agents and other officials swarmed the block.
Harper-Bey said he was watching TV when he heard a loud bang.
"I came to the window. I saw the FBI pointing guns at the bank robber," Harper-Bey said Friday morning.
Harper-Bey said he saw Banks run down a path between two buildings. Banks then darted into a first-floor apartment.
Minutes later, FBI officials emerged with what appeared to be a yellow shoe box and a handcuffed Banks, Harper-Bey said.
"He wasn't shouting. He was walking calm, like 'I got caught,'" Harper-Bey said of the defeated bank robber.
Harper-Bey said he knows Banks' cousin who lives in the neighborhood, but said the apartment where Banks ran into was not his relative's.
Had Harper-Bey known Banks was an escaped convict, he said he would have called authorities.
"If I would have seen him, I would have turned him in. I need that money," Harper-Bey said, referring to the reward money.
Dennisha Franklin, 24, was coming home from work Thursday night when she saw a half dozen FBI agents surrounding the building on Bosworth with their guns drawn, pointing to the ground.
Fearing for her safety, Franklin said she ran into her building.
The bang some neighbors heard, Franklin said, may have been when the FBI agents kicked in the door, which had two dents near the doorknob Friday.
"I was scared. I didn't know what was going on," Franklin said. "I was scared to even come out of my door. Thank God my kids were asleep."
Banks represented himself during his trial and when he was convicted he vowed: "You'll hear from me!" He also yelled "they didn't prove nothing!" and said he would be "seeking retribution," according to news accounts of the trial.
The statements prompted the U.S. Marshals Service to provide extra protection to the trial judge, Rebecca Pallmeyer, as well as Mecklenburg and other prosecutors on the case.
But Brindley, who was hired Friday by Banks' family to represent him in the escape case, said his client isn't dangerous and the statements his client made in court were taken out of context.
Brindley said the statements referred to affidavits his client was planning to file in court in his post-conviction appeal.
On Thursday, a union official said a staffing shortage in the federal jail in downtown Chicago contributed to a series of security snafus that made this week's daring escape possible. Banks and Conley crawled out a hole in the wall of their 17th-floor cell in the Metropolitan Correctional Center and slid down a rope made of bedsheets early Tuesday.
The breakout was caught on surveillance video, but a guard assigned to monitor the cameras didn't see it because he was counting prisoners on another floor, the official said. FBI agents later recovered a private surveillance video of Banks and Conley jumping into a cab near the jail at about 2:40 a.m. Tuesday. But jail officers didn't notice they had escaped until 7 a.m. that morning. The escapees stopped briefly at Conley mother's house in Tinley Park before they vanished, authorities said.

The Desautels were recently found by Judge Karl Bazin to be guilty of tax evasion, failing to pay more than $90,000 in income tax, as well as claiming a tax credit they weren't entitled to. The charges are based on unreported income between 2004 and 2008.
The Alida couple was scheduled for a sentencing hearing during Estevan provincial court on April 26, but they failed to appear that morning. A warrant was issued and RCMP officers arrested the Desautels at their home, bringing them to the courthouse where they appeared before the judge later that day.
In their defence of not coming to court, Dorothy said that after their last court appearance, in which they were found guilty, the couple was thrown out of the jurisdiction.
Dorothy told the judge, "We were told not to return."
During Thursday's proceedings, Bazin told the Desautels they would get a chance to speak, but as is custom in a sentencing hearing, the Crown is permitted to argue first. Dorothy said they were told they would have a chance to speak at trial but never given an opportunity.
"We did not get a chance to speak. We were denied our due process of the law. Yes, we were. I do not accept your lies anymore. Who do you work for? Do you work for Queen Elizabeth II, or do you work for the corporation of London?" she asked Bazin.
Bazin said that if the defence did not wish to stop talking, he would allow them to speak to sentencing first. However, after Bazin felt the Desautels failed to comply with court decorum, the judge remanded them in custody overnight, and the proceedings continued on Friday.
From 2004 to 2008 Norman failed to claim $494,671.36 in income, evading paying $90,679.80 in federal taxes.
Crown prosecutor Glennys McVeigh noted that those figures represented only federal tax numbers because they were not prosecuting over provincial tax.
From 2004 to 2007 the couple collected child tax benefits of $8,869. They stopped receiving the credit after their children became too old for them to continue receiving the support.
McVeigh told the court that from 2005 to 2008, Norman failed to remit $6,373.63 in GST to the government that was earned through his well-servicing business.
McVeigh told Bazin the Canadian Revenue Agency has looked into the Desautels' file from 2009 to 2011, and alleged the couple has not filed returns for those years either. Bazin said the CRA could proceed with further charges if they wish.
For these charges, the Crown is asking for a one-year jail term for Norman and a six-month term for Dorothy. They are also asking that a fine of 100 per cent of the evaded tax be paid. For Norman, that means $105,922.47 and for Dorothy $99,548.80.
McVeigh said the Desautels committed their crimes for reasons of personal greed.
"It was purely for personal lifestyle, so it was greed that this fraud was perpetrated," she said.
McVeigh added that a further aggravating factor to these crimes is the Desautels' treatment of the court system.
"Yesterday a document that is completely disrespectful is filed on their behalf. It asks the court and orders the court to quit bothering them, basically."
As far as there being no victim, McVeigh said not paying taxes, and using government services is "the equivalent of stealing from one's fellow citizens."
Norman argued that because he follows the 10 commandments, he can commit no crime, and by loving his neighbour, his fellow citizens can't be harmed by his actions.
McVeigh presented a victim impact statement by the CRA to the court and said all Canadians are victims when an individual doesn't pay their taxes, particularly when that individual continues to benefit from infrastructure and programs those taxes would pay for.
The Desautels also denounced the media coverage their case has received, calling the trial and subsequent proceedings a "confidential and private" matter.
"It should be heard in private chambers," said Dorothy. "This is not for the public to be published in the paper, because it's a private and confidential matter. It is not a public matter."
McVeigh noted that the Desautels have made applications to the Court of Queen's Bench for a publication ban, but they have not been accepted.
Bazin seemed to believe their arguments were not very relevant to the sentencing and told them, "you're wasting your opportunity. These are serious charges. The Crown is asking to put you in jail for a year."
"What is it that you ask of us? Is it dollars?" Dorothy asked the judge. "Please define to me your definition of dollar."
Bazin reserved judgment on both individuals to May 14, despite Dorothy's objections to any further adjournment of her matters.
Because the Desautels had been arrested, and the Crown did not wish for them to be released, show-cause hearings were held Friday afternoon, resulting in both being remanded by Bazin. They will remain in jail until sentencing.

On average, Americans spend 90% of their time indoors, yet the air in new homes can be ten times more polluted than outdoor air, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Children are particularly vulnerable when it comes to air pollution. A report in the New England Journal of Medicine states that 40% of children will develop respiratory disease, in part due to the chemicals in their homes.
A common source of indoor air pollution is the offgassing of chemicals found in many building materials. Kitchen cabinets, countertops, shelving and furniture may be made from particleboard or medium density fiberboard. These pressed-wood products are typically made with adhesives that release urea formaldehyde a known human carcinogen, into the home for years after installation. Also, many paints, floor finishes, adhesives and sealants emit unhealthy volatile organic compounds (VOCs). That "new house smell" is a telltale sign that there are harmful chemicals in the indoor environment.
Fortunately, the building products industry is responding to these indoor pollution problems by developing safer products, including low-VOC paints, cleaners and adhesives. These products are now commonly available from most major suppliers at costs comparable to conventional products. California also now has specifications available for some materials to assure that they are low emitting and safe.
Poor indoor air quality is also often caused by biological contaminants, such as mold that grows as a result of moisture infiltration due to inadequate ventilation, poor design and maintenance, and other factors. Dust, another major source of air pollution inside homes, can be reduced by installing permanent front door walk-off mats and by using hard surface flooring materials such as natural linoleum, bamboo, wood or wood alternatives, or concrete.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - A legislative panel is urging Maryland lawmakers to adopt sweeping reforms to the state's campaign finance laws.
The Commission to Study Campaign Finance Law says the state should close loopholes that have allowed donors to contribute large amounts of money to campaigns through multiple limited-liability corporations.
The commission also recommended that the state raise limits on how much donors can contribute to keep pace with inflation. The limits have been in place since 1991.
Lawmakers who sat on the panel tell The Baltimore Sun) that they expect most of the recommendations to be taken up during the upcoming 90-day legislative session. Delegate Jon Cardin says the House "is excited about making significant campaign finance reforms."

Martinů & Schulhoff: String Sextets
Helios (Hyperion's budget label)CDH55321
Movement 1: Lento Allegro poco moderato
Movement 2: Andantino Allegro scherzando Tempo 1
Movement 3: Allegretto poco moderato
A note on the score states 'double-bass may be added for use by string orchestra', the part being printed at the foot of the score. This was clearly an afterthought, perhaps prompted by the imminent publishing of the piece fifteen years later and an attempt to obtain more performances. Martinu never heard the Sextet in the string orchestra version. The posthumous premiere was given by Paul Sacher in October 1959.
Martinu's Sextet was written astonishingly quickly, in less than a week, which makes its structural originality and organic unity all the more surprising. The structural originality is such that the music combines at the same time duple, triple, quintuple and sextuple forms. The Sextet has three movements, hence triple (tri-partite) structure; but the first movement is bi-partite (slow, fast), hence a duple structure; the central movement is tri-partite (slow, fast, slow). Now, allied to the outer movements, we also have (with the Allegro scherzando of the central movement forming the fulcrum) a quintuple structure. But the tempo sequence, across the movements, is (i) Slow–Fast, (ii) Slow–Fast–Slow, (iii) Fast, producing a sextuple tempo structure. Such a unique multiple structure suggests some deeper processes are afoot in the music itself.
However interesting this basic ground-plan appears, it is the continually evolving musical argument of the Sextet which is consistently gripping, an early example in this composer's work of 'progressive tonality'—the evolution of one key, or tonal centre, from another. In this case, Martinu tackles one of the more difficult of such evolutions, that of adjacent tonalities. His Sextet begins in the depths of C minor in a mood of uncertain pessimism (almost, astoundingly, where Erwín Schulhoff's Sextet ended), but concludes in a brilliantly vivid D major. Indeed, there are several other remarkable musical connections common to both works: the strong chromaticism of their first movements; the structural functions of texture (in both slow movements); the unifying cell of a few notes (Martinu's opening Largo, rising from the lowest region, contains as its kernel the intervals of a semitone and a third); the challenge, in the tonal scheme of Martinu's first movement, of the same flat supertonic (D flat) which destabilized Schulhoff's work (but which, in the Martinu, behaves rather more in accordance with classical procedures). Here it falls to A flat, then semitonally to G, the dominant of C, in which key the movement, its anger subsided, ends unambiguously in the major mode with the assurance of E natural. The slow movement's tonality rises by a semitone from E to F (in which key C is also the dominant, showing therefore that the ultimate tonality of the work cannot be C) and begins fugally as a double exposition, but only with regard to texture, not treatment: the kernel's third now falls (after a counter-exposition of this material) to D major, in which key the music pauses. Another rise would take us to E flat (further destabilizing the original tonality) and in this key the central Allegretto scherzando dances across the fabric of the music with myriad textural changes. As this is, structurally, the centre of the work, it cannot rise to E natural (this would set in train the earlier harmonic sequence), so it must fall, to D, the high octaves of which on the violins usher in the recapitulation of the opening fugato which ends the movement a little uncertainly, but quietly, in F major. To confirm the major tonality of F, A natural has to be established—and is quietly asserted at the beginning of the finale in the bass. But this finale has other problems to consider. It has to resolve the emotional implications of the work (the enervation at the end of the second movement has to be overcome); to resolve the evolving harmonic demands of the Sextet, and the inherent pulse-structure: an extended fast ending in a mood of well-being is called for; finally, the full working of the Sextet's basic organism has not yet been completed. Every one of these demands is fully met in this brilliant, light-hearted (but never flippant) finale, whose language may remind some of later Vaughan Williams (Dives and Lazarus) or Tippett (Concerto for Double String Orchestra and String Quartet No 2). The explanation lies in the common pentatonic, even Celtic, nature of these composers' folk-based syntax, one which was foreign to the cosmopolitan Schulhoff. As Martinu's Sextet reaches its conclusion, the intial destabilization must be faced. The pulse slows organically and a bare C–G in the bass (the last connection with Schulhoff's Sextet) ushers the dance-like finale in a second time, which leaps another fifth, a vivid A natural clearly exposed as the dominant of D major, in which bright key the work triumphantly ends.

Quote: I am sure that Pamela appreciates you responding for her particularly since the arguements you make on her behalf are a good deal more "noble" than the "I don't want cars driving by my house" argument. The hell with them driving by. I want the ones that are un-drivable. I'm still waiting for Smike to drop off the junk cars Ranger Rob burned up last year so both Smike and I can do our part to preserve Gardiner's rural character. After all, the latest greatest good in the preservation nomenklatura is now "rural character". The "Green Assets Program" of the Shawangunk Ridge Diversity of Bullshit Partnership has been helping towns around the Preserve understand how much they want to preserve their "rural character". This makes me wonder if any of these folks have ever lived in a rural area. Characteristics of rural areas include, in addition to open space: junk cars in the front yard (and the backyard too), trailer homes, alcoholism, and incest. Generally the more junk cars, trailers, family alcoholics, and inbred and/or bastard children you have, the greater your community stature. I wonder, is this what the Gardiner/Preserve nomenklatura (I love this word) mean when they say they want the community to have rural character?

So, the blinds themselves are fine, nice even...although they didn't fit the windows, that's not Overstock's fault. However, I was shocked that they arrived with a price tag on them from a major bed & bath retailer....which was for less than what I paid for them on Overstock. Not only was the original price grossly overstated, the site that's supposed to bring about bargains charged about ten bucks more than the sticker! Pretty shocking, don't recommend buying them unless the price has dropped further.
We purchased 6 of these. They were easy to install. One was returned because it was not the length it was suppose to be. Another was sent and worked perfectly. The provide privacy and blend well into window so are not noticeable when up. We love them.
I now have these on 7 windows in my house. They cut down on heat loss, make the room feel warmer. They are also very stylish looking in my rooms. I am sure I will buy more.
These shades were of very high quality material and very easy to install. It was a surprise to see them at such a great price. They look great and are so easy to use. Thanks Overstock
Perfect shade. Exactly what I was looking for. Installation was a lot easier than I though it would be. Great quality and very reasonably priced. Worth every penny. Will be buying more for my other windows!
Great looking blinds and easiest install ever-wish I could get these in every size possible.

Sharing views on sustainable practices, including alternative-powered vehicles, eco-friendly facilities and energy-efficient technologies.
Back to the list
Big transit projects often cite reduced carbon pollution as a main selling point to the public. But to take environmental stewardship to the next level, we should look past tailpipes and smokestacks and focus our attention on what goes into these civil engineering marvels. Namely, a lot of concrete.
Conventional wisdom figures transit agencies would naturally lean toward sustainability. But often, the sustainability message from transit agencies does not fully realize the strategies to put efficiency, energy-reduction and environmental protection into practice.

State PUCs
Electric Retail Choice. The Arkansas Public Service Commission has issued its final report on electric restructuring, citing a "broad" consensus favoring competition. It...
new transmission is considering transmission built by or for merchant generators. If that is not happening, then it is possible that the transmission lines associated with new generation that used to be recorded as transmission plant on the utilities' books are no longer being recorded there. Not because the transmission isn't being built, but because others, such as merchant generators, are building this transmission (or at least paying for it).
PJM seems to be an example of this phenomenon. The latest transmission expansion plan calls for more than $700 million of new transmission. Of that $700 million, merchant generators will pay more than $500 million. 12 If the generators' $500 million is not being included in utilities' forecast of transmission spending, then a major chunk of new transmission investment is being missed.
Next, let's look at the peak-demand forecast. This is another possible source of inaccurate transmission-need assessment. The drumbeat for new transmission now is reminiscent of the drumbeat for new generation that started several years ago. The kick-off for that was a famous, or infamous, Forbes article by Peter Huber and Mark Mills, predicting an insatiable new demand for electricity caused by the Internet revolution (more PCs, more servers, etc.). 13 That drumbeat helped propel the enthusiasm of Wall Street for new generation-and the rest, as they say, is history.
Finally, let's assume for the sake of argument that we do need substantially more transmission than that being planned. Do utilities need a higher rate of return to build it? Authorized rates of return at 11 and 12 percent already seem hefty for a low-risk investment. 14 And the industry did not in the past claim these returns as a barrier to specific projects; instead, the industry has cited regulatory uncertainties and the familiar NIMBY problem 15 (including the inherent reluctance on the part of states to authorize new lines from which they derive no benefit).
What We Need
If we do not have a huge transmission deficit requiring huge new investment and incentives, what do we need to secure the reliability and efficiency of the nation's transmission system in the wake of the August blackout? We need a stable regulatory environment that identifies and delivers reliability-based infrastructure on a timely and rational basis, and that enables efficient responses to market forces.
Consider first the reliability needs for new transmission. The process of determining reliability requirements is a well-established one. The North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) and the regional reliability councils prepare a 10-years-out reliability assessment every year that includes an assessment of future transmission reliability. 16 The reliability assessment includes each region's own analysis, with specific needs for new transmission facilities.
How these transmission needs are addressed is more complicated. The traditional approach of voluntary cooperation among utilities to get needed new transmission built may evolve somewhat if reliability standards become mandatory. The new RTO approach identifies, plans, and builds reliability-based transmission on a coordinated basis involving all stakeholders. The traditional and the RTO approaches both rely on a bottoms-up needs assessment-not the macro-trend analysis debunked above.

Old Time Radio Downloads > Musical > Oscar Levant
Born December 27, 1906 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Oscar Levant was an American pianist, actor, and comedian of Jewish descent. He is known for his wit and sarcasm on both the radio and television, and also for his music. His style of music was at first similar to that of Schumann, Liszt, Chopin, Bach, and Beethoven, before he got mesmerized by the ever-glamorous Broadway.
Following the death of his father in 1922, Levant and his mother moved to New York, where he started piano lessons under the well-establish Polish pianist Zygmunt Stojowski. Two years later, Levant appeared on the 1924 short film "Bernie and All the Lads." In 1928, he decided to go to Hollywood to establish his career. There, he became friends with American pianist George Gershwin.
In the years that followed, Levant was made to compose music for over 20 films. While doing that, he was able to co-write songs such as "Blame It on My Youth," which made it to the Hit Parade. It was also during this period that he had his wives, first actress Barbara Woodell (whom he divorced in 1932) and second, singer-actress June Gale. Levant and Gale were married for 33 years, and they had three kids namely, Marcia, Lorna, and Amanda.
After focusing on his music career, Levant then went on to be become a popular radio personality, first by being a guest panelist in the hit quiz show Information Please. Being the witty and funny man that he is, the producers of the show eventually decided to make him a regular on the show. He impressed the listeners with his great knowledge in music. Levant was also invited to appear regularly on NBC's Kraft Music Hall with Al Jolson, where he played popular and classical pieces and did some comedy sketches. Levant and Jolson soon appeared as themselves in the 1945 biopic "Rhapsody in Blue."
In the 1950s and 1960s, Levant also appeared on other radio shows such as in the game show "Who Said That?" In his later years, he did stay away from the limelight. He died of heart attack in 1972 at 65 years of age.

do not cause a reliability problem. 1
When TLRs of level 5 and above are examined, there are few calls for relief. For example, in 2001 there were only 28 calls in this group, 27 in 2002, and 34 so far in 2003. 2 It should be understood that these TLRs affect a minuscule percentage of all lines, curtail a minuscule percentage of transactions, and occur a minuscule percentage of the time. In addition, the bulk of the level 5 and above TLRs occurred on the systems of just two reliability coordinators, the Midwest Independent System Operator and the Southwest Power Pool. These insignificant events do not imply a need for an enormous increase in transmission lines across the entire country.
Hirst also points to transmission congestion costs as a symptom of an ailing transmission system, citing a study that reports congestion costs in 2000 to be $800 million in PJM, the New England Independent System Operator, the New York Independent System Operator, and the California Independent System Operator. EEI also claims there is "tremendous congestion" throughout the country.
These claims reflect a fundamental misapprehension of the import of congestion. Congestion occurs whenever lower cost energy does not reach all potential load-thus creating a price differential between area A, the exporting area, and area B, the importing area. There is, in that sense, tremendous congestion all across the country as price differentials abound. Some of that congestion is caused by physical constraints of the system, but some is not physical at all (arising from non-integrated and inefficient dispatch of electricity, pancaked transmission rates, etc.).
Congestion costs do not equate to reliability problems. Assume there is coal-fired generation in area A that from time to time exceeds demand in area A, but where the excess cannot reach area B due to a transmission constraint. Assume also that area B has plenty of oil-fired generation (no reliability problem). This is an example of congestion cost-a simple price differential between areas A and B-but no reliability problem. 3
Only regional transmission organizations (RTOs) report congestion costs as such, which gives rise to the common misconception that creating an RTO creates congestion. Of course, creating an RTO that reports congestion costs does not create congestion but only makes known what was not known before and assigns the additional (marginal) cost to those areas that require the higher-cost energy. 4 This identification of congestion costs allows for efficient responses. The response can be to do nothing (if the solution is more costly than the congestion), to build more transmission, to build more generation, or to reduce demand.
With this background, we can see that neither TLRs nor congestion costs support a conclusion that there is too little transmission capacity. The relevant TLRs are simply too rare in occurrence and limited in scope to translate into a generic need for more transmission. The reported congestion costs are only price signals that enable efficient responses.
- It can be contended that increased non-firm TLRs simply reflect more aggressive sale of available transmission capacity, and thus greater use of the

Beyond Intermittency
Forecasting brings wind energy under control.
distributed DR might also bring unintended consequences. Changing behavior affecting customer demand might complicate load forecasting for system operators, who make ongoing decisions based on load rising and falling in a predictable way.
"Smart grids offer a host of reliability benefits, and could allow operators to see patterns they're not seeing now," Lauby says. "But to some degree, bulk-power system operators assume certain characteristics about load and the direction of energy flows, based on experience. Now, with two-way flows and with communication between customers and the market, the predictable nature of the load will change. We'll need to get experience with that."
Ramping Risks
As valuable as forecasting is becoming, system operators harbor well-justified fears about the inherently chaotic behavior of large weather patterns—and the way they can rapidly change the output from wind farms. Large-scale ramping events, in which the wind suddenly dies or rises to a gale, make it difficult for system operators to rely on wind capacity. And they create special problems for forecasters, because these events are atypical and tough to predict—precisely because they're atypical.
"To get a good forecast, you need a good sample of events," says John Zack, director of forecasting for AWS Truepower (formerly AWS Truewind). "Most wind farms haven't been operating for a long time, so you're always facing new and different events that you haven't seen before in the history of the system. And the big events, the ones that are of greatest interest for reliability and security, are anomalous events." As a result, forecasters have little or no data to show them the specific local conditions that lead to major ramp events at a given site.
"Predicting large-scale ramps is tricky, and it will remain tricky," Leick says. "Forecasts can indicate a high probability that a thunderstorm will occur tomorrow afternoon, and that you'll experience some ramp events. But will it be at 1:30 or 2:15? That's the level of precision people want."
In practical terms, gauging the exact timing and location of a large-scale ramp event is beyond the reach of current technologies and weather models. As a result, researchers are focusing a great deal of attention on this area.
Initial approaches are using information technology to produce more accurate and useful forecast information for operators. For example, probabilistic forecasts can provide a clearer idea of the mathematical chance a ramp event will happen within a given time period. "Operators need to know what the probability of an event is in order to assess the risk and decide whether to take action," says Storck of 3Tier. So forecasting companies are working to refine the way their systems calculate and provide probabilistic data.
Other computational approaches include high-performance modeling systems, such as those developed by the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Although such systems are developed for weather forecasting generally—to help the National Weather Service (NWS) predict thunderstorms, tornadoes and blizzards—the same technology helps wind energy forecasters to improve their computational models of the conditions that lead to ramp events.
Ultimately, however, all models depend

When Reliability and High Performance Matter.
Tuxera file systems are used in a wide range of demanding industrial applications where high performance data transfer rates, high reliability, and universal access from PCs to access data first hand are needed. Some examples include:
- Fast, portable and rock solid reliable data recording for automotive and aviation "black box" measurement systems
- High performance storage of large files for a medical measurement device
- Uncompromised storage for military and space exploration
This is what Appareo says:
Tuxera's file systems offer great reliability – something required in the aviation industry. The Vision 1000 system captures critical inertial and position data, cockpit imagery and audio. Tuxera helps to make this happen.

Most of the record is dominated by the guitar-heavy "Theme From A Symphony" – a very harmelodic number that takes up all of side one and most of side two – and which features the twin guitars of Bern Nix and Charlie Ellerbee dancing alongside drums of Ronald Shannon Jackson while Ornette blows an elliptically grooving lead line on alto sax. Side two then closes with the far different "Midnight Sunrise" – an earthy improvisation that features Ornette's alto alongside the Master Musicians Of Joujouka, who use an array of percussion and reed instruments to create a dark tapestry of sound!

WASHINGTON - Fans of the boy band One Direction have something to cheer about.
A list of the top 100 most-viewed articles on Wikipedia in 2012 has been released.
The most-viewed articles involved Facebook with more than 32 million views.
The word "wiki" appeared second, with 29 million looks. Death came in as a close third, followed by One Direction and the movie "The Avengers."
"Fifty shades of Grey," the 2012 phenomenon, "The Dark Knight Rises," Google and "The Hunger Games" rounded out the top 10.
Thought Wikipedia itself does not release a list, it does allow others to access its logs. Johan Gunnarsson, a Swedish software engineer, compiled the statistics, according to CNET.

Reviews for Raspberry Angel Cake
Sort By :
"This is a very easy recipe that looks nice, and will please almost anyone! It is sweet and refreshing!"
"My two year old twin boys devoured the cake, with whipped cream of course!"
"Did you Pam the pan or butter it? If you did, don't. That's my only thought. I've made this cake at least a dozen times and I've never had a problem."
"Can anyone tell me why my cake fell out of the angel food cake pan when I turned it upside down? This happened about 5 minutes after I turned it upside down. Then it collapsed after it came out of the pan.Tasted good, but didn't look so great.Disappointed."
"My guest found the cake delightful. They particularly found the sauce the best ever. I followed the receipe but added 2 tablespoons of Chambord liquer which added flavor."

This Iphone case was just what I wanted, colors are bright and vivid and it is easy to find in my bag. When they are this quality and price you can afford to have one for every occasion just like your matching shoes and purse.
This case is the BEST I have ever used in the past years (I used at least 5-6 cases in the past 10 years). Not only it's so inexpensive, it's beautiful, not easy to be damaged, and it's not sliding. Wonderful one!
This fits the iPhone 4S just right and gives it a pretty, feminine look. It seems to provide some good cushioning, but I haven't dropped my phone, so can't really say. I'm completely happy with it so far.
My expectations were low with a product coming from China. The case is beautiful, but once you take it off it crams and becomes trash.
I was pleased with the cover, i have bought several of these and I am always pleased.
This phone cover is easy to put on phone. Since the background color is white it does show some dirt but no worries. Doesn't add much weight to phone. Good buy!

ECPI University Columbia is located in the area of South Carolina referred to as the "Midlands." Located in the center of the state, the campus is a short drive from both the Atlantic Ocean or, in the other direction, the Appalachian Mountains.
Columbia has a number of recreational opportunities including boating and fishing on Lake Murray, a 50,000 acre man-made lake with over 500 miles of shoreline. Lake Murray is a natural wonder to explore and a true fisherman's challenge, hosting numerous professional fishing tournaments annually.
Columbia's spectator sports include University of South Carolina Gamecock football, basketball and baseball. Parks and playgrounds are managed by the City of Columbia, Richland County and Lexington County, as well as some of the smaller towns that make up the metro area.
Just minutes from the ECPI University Columbia is the Riverbanks Zoo and Botanical Gardens, a top ten zoo in the United States that offers a vast collection of the some of the world's most unique and endangered species, extraordinary gardens and woodland paths.
The list of local area annual events is endless. Columbia is host to many annual festivals including one of the largest St. Patrick's Day festivals in the country, The Irmo Okra Strut, The South Carolina State Fair, The Peach Festival, Greek Festival, and the Lexington FunFest to name a few. They all celebrate an aspect of life in the Columbia Area.
ECPI University Columbia's students are active both on campus and in the community through the Medical Student Association.
Columbia students host annual on-campus Blood Drives in cooperation with the American Red Cross as well as participate in the Adopt-A-Highway and Adopt-A-School programs. On-Campus fundraisers are also held on a regular basis in support of Harvest Hope Food Bank and the Holiday Adopt-A-Family programs.
Students also participate in a number of local area volunteer opportunities with such organizations as The Sister Helen Cullen Women's Shelter and The Salvation Army downtown soup kitchen at Ebenezer Lutheran church.

WASHINGTON - Voter approval of Maryland's same-sex marriage act has made area wedding planners very happy.
"It's very exciting," says Tracy Bloom Schwartz, president of Creative Parties in Bethesda. "This is great and it's great on every level of life."
After D.C. passed a similar law in 2009, Bloom Schwartz saw her business pick up.
"We have been involved on some level or another with 18, maybe 20 same-sex weddings."
But, she says everyone in the wedding business benefits.
"We need a venue, we need catering, food of some sort, beverages served. You need a band or a DJ or entertainment of some kind."
Bloom Schwartz says while the national average cost for a wedding is $25,000, in this area the average is $50,000.
After the D.C. law passed an additional $1 million dollars was spent on weddings.
"That generated revenue and jobs and kept people employed and paid taxes to the city," Bloom Schwartz says.
And Creative Parties is ready, she says.
"It's a party!"
