The potential medicinal properties of marijuana have been the subject of substantive research and heated debate. Scientists have confirmed that the cannabis plant contains active ingredients with therapeutic potential for relieving pain, controlling nausea, stimulating appetite, and decreasing ocular pressure. Cannabinoid-based medications include synthetic compounds, such as dronabinol (Marinol®) and nabilone (Cesamet®), which are FDA approved, and a new, chemically pure mixture of plant-derived THC and cannabidiol called Sativex®, formulated as a mouth spray and approved in Canada and parts of Europe for the relief of cancer-associated pain and spasticity and neuropathic pain in multiple sclerosis.

See why it took a century for the famous obelisk to rise over Washington, D.C.
- The complete story of the famed landmark.
- Period documents capture the struggles to build the monument.
- Tour areas off-limits to the general public.
Alone among the presidential memorials, the Washington Monument does not feature a giant statue of the statesman it honors. Instead, the imposing edifice soars some 555 feet in the air, dominating the famous Mall and standing stalwart over the city center.
While millions visit the monument every year, few know the century-long story of its creation. MODERN MARVELS® travels from the 18th-century to today to reveal every aspect of the dramatic obelisk, from the first calls for its creation to the demands of keeping its Maryland white marble skin gleaming. Scholars detail the ceremony, conflict and inaction that dogged its creation, while National Park Service officials offer an all-access tour of the monument.

Terriers, fashion are off to the races
Thomas Warren, WTOP
WASHINGTON - Forget the fancy hats, elegant horses and Jack Russell Terriers that will be on display this weekend at the 88th Virginia Gold Cup.
Parimutuel betting, in which people put their money into a collective pool, is the real star of this year's festivities, the organizers say.
"So many people come out to the Gold Cup and don't pay attention to the horses anyway because it's a huge social event," Vicki Bendure, spokeswoman for the Virginia Gold Cup, says.
"We just thought this would make it a little more fun for those attending, and a chance for more people to pay attention to what's happening with the horses."
Attendees looking to test their luck can deposit cash - betting with credit cards is not legal in the state - into one of the 11 self-service stations scattered around the course. Just enter the event, race number and wager amount and then pick from one of the on-screen pools. You can print out your ticket and even make identical bets. If something goes wrong, a live person will be there to help.
Click here to see a sample screen from one of the betting machines.
Organizers hope that the new wager system will encourage people to come out to the race track rather than watch from somewhere else.
"Racing is on the decline," Bendure says. "They don't get as many spectators as they used to and as many people out at race tracks anymore because there is so much off-track betting going on."
With many casinos and bars showing the races, some gambling enthusiasts opt to take their money elsewhere. But the new betting system could bring more people back to race tracks, and it already seems to be paying off. Gold Cup ticket sales are up 20 percent, and most of the more expensive seating is already sold out, Bendure says.
"I don't know if that's from the betting or because it was a long winter and people want to get outside, but there has definitely been an uptick in sales," Bendure says.
The Virginia Gold Cup and the International Gold Cup in October are now the only two steeplechase races in the state to offer betting. Gambling is available at some flat track races such as Colonial Downs.
The Virginia Gold Cup takes place Saturday at the Great Meadow fields in The Plains, Va. Gates open at 10 a.m. Entertainment, including the Jack Russell Terrier Races, start at 11:15 a.m. Opening ceremonies are at 12:15 p.m., and the betting stations open immediately after. The first of seven races kick off at 1:15 p.m.
For more information, visit the Virginia Gold Cup website.

colors match picture for all items. Sheets are okay -- they are a bit slippery feeling.
Nice set. Very pleased with my purchase. Looks great in the room!
This is a nice mid-range bedding set. Purchased for my young daughter's new "big girl" room. The quality isn't the greatest, but considering the price for the entire set it is as expected. Identical set can be found on big box retail site for twice the price so the value is great.
This set looks good on my granddaughters bed. She really likes the pink/purple combo. The sheets are very soft.
Me and my mother were trying to re-do my little sister's (12 year old) room for Christmas so maybe she'd keep it clean, and she loved the bedset. It matched everything in her room and it looks exactly like the picture. The only bad part about it is that the sheets are poorly made, but you get what you pay for and it was good enough at the time.

I'm sorry. You might have understood me wrong
I was talking about Leucifer's point that many people pick to tank as frost in 5-man dungeons because it its easy to maintain threat, and I agree.
About the point in skipping Abominations might, is that I prefer to spend points else where when I'm tanking 5-man's in my blood spec to increase my threat generation.
That is just what I prefer in my spec, and I think it benefits me more than the 10% attack power buff to my party members.

Antonio Berardi has created a place for himself in London, his adopted fashion home, that is all his own. It accommodates all of his Italian polish and the creative edge that belies his St Martins training and apprenticeship with John Galliano. He may have been based back in his native Italy for the past 12 years, but he returns each season to a slot on the London Fashion Week schedule where his show has become an unmissable event.
We know all too well that the fashion buying public is polarised between the 'haves', with their fabled spending power and those who are by comparison 'have-nots': a bracket more and more Brits find this economy has landed them in. A kind of catwalk schizophrenia has set in: does the smart designer chase the silly 'new' money which gravitates to embroidery and bling with lots of noughts on the price tag. Or do you cater to the market that can still be persuaded to splurge but wants to be sure what they splash out on will last longer in their wardrobe than one season. One is happy with a passing fad. The other wants staying power.
Pleasing polar opposites is a tough call. And it's often pretty easy to see where each designer is making their pitch. Few figure it out right down the middle. I'd suggest that Antonio Berardi is one of those few. With a budget where every pound counts, I would invest in his suit with it's sunray pleated skirt and origami tailored jacket. I would save for the sharp white tux and straight legged pants. I dream of the red chiffon fishtail gown with 1940's shoulders and I am recommending the empire line silk dress with its embroidered bolero to a summer bride. But I am also expecting to see the pearl or silver embroidered chiffon gowns stepping out of Bentleys and Bugattis from Rio to Riyadh.
Antonio Berardi's is Italian luxury with British energy that makes it a no brainer for a modern woman with her sights set on a wardrobe that gets her noticed.

The CEDIA Expo, held earlier this month in Indianapolis, was loaded with cool A/V, control and networking products to look at. These three caught my eye instantly for their unique designs.
1. I can't really say I've ever wanted to cuddle with an iPod dock … until I saw the AudioXperts' EVA. Resembling a fuzzy pillow, it's made partially of wool and bamboo, which makes it a green alternative. By the way, EVA stands for Environmental Audio. Several models are available, from $299 to $499.
2. The GSS10 subwoofer from Niles looks like it should be smoking a rack of ribs, not thumping out bass. Alas, most of it gets buried beneath the ground so that only a small pipe extrudes from the landscape. Pricing unavailable
3. Most wireless access points—especially the ones designed to mount to the ceiling—can stick out like a sore thumb. Not this WAP from Pakedge. Its super-slim profile makes it look like a smoke detector that's been on a diet. Pricing unavailable


text: One of the best CTI albums from the early 70s – and one of Stanley Turrentine's funkiest records as well! The album's got a sharper edge than most other Turrentine albums of the time – a quality that goes beyond Stan's already soulful approach to the tenor, and which brings in some tight changes and more pronounced rhythms that really give the best cuts a great groove! The group's a sextet – with Bob James on electric piano, Milt Jackson on vibes, Cornell Dupree on guitar, Ron Carter on bass, and Billy Cobham on drums – and titles include a monster version of Weldon Irvine's "Sister Sanctified" – a great funk tune that's probably best known as the sample for "My Philosophy" by BDP! Other tracks include "Speedball", "Cherry", and "The Revs". (Cover has light wear and a small peeled spot in one corner.) © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Fair enough, I am aware that other classes can and often do apply sunders or similar effects during boss fights, however there are quite a few forums/threads stating the loss of overall dps when any toon but a warrior tank has to apply sunders. Many of those threads are on this website.
As for raids buffs and utility, each class is supposed to bring something to the raid which would increase the chances of a successful fight.
I would be curious to see some figures of raids where a warrior tank is not applying sunders and the corresponding dps figures and the uptime of sunders for non-warrior tanked fights. True, there are quite a few players and guilds who will diligently keep every debuff up on the bosses even is a specific class is not present to apply them.
I am not implying that warrior tank dps is acceptable as it stands. Personally, I find it pissing me off quite often, but I still (perhaps stubbornly) am looking for validation of sub-standard dps due to something a warrior tank brings to the table that no other tanks can.
Otherwise, especially in light of the rumored nerfs coming our way from PVP concerns (that is a rant just waiting to happen), what is the point of playing a warrior tank?
I believe that rogues can also do an expose armor debuff. There may be a drop in dps.... but I dont know how much.
As fury, keeping sunders up is really only a problem if its a short fight (less than a min). Anything more than that allows for a fury warrior to find the dead spots in a rotation to reapply the debuff.
Here is my WoL report for last night. We only did Festergut and Rotface and decided to wait for Prof after 2 pulls since it was really laggy.
World of Logs - Real Time Raid Analysis
I pulled 3763 as the tank going second (since I have a little better gear, I ate the first 3 stack) and our druid tank did 4617. Total dps was 1,044,325 for me and 1,246,978 for him.
I know that the stacks skew the numbers a little.... but still. Its a bummer.
Deeps for show..... tank for dough.....
The "problem" is that Sunder is only applied automaticly by prot warriors, the same way Vindication is applied by paladins.
It's like having a DPS warrior demo shout because your ret pala didn't spec vindication.

Wartotem, you think a fury warrior loses 202,653 damage in a 4.5 minute fight keeping up sunders? I'd say that its probably a fraction of that.....
Deeps for show..... tank for dough.....
Post this to the official forums IMO. Write it well (spell check it) and be respectful.
/agree. Any chance we can get the author of this post to go official? Either that or use the batphone they set up for Cider straight to blizzard.....
Deeps for show..... tank for dough.....
It started on the blizzard tank forums. They've already seen it. GC's already mentioned that warrior DPS while tanking is too low. Of course, they acknowledged there were problems with heroic strike and rage this time last year.
Maybe we'll get a minor buff, maybe not. We sure don't get a 20% buff until they re-balance things come Cata because of fears of Prot warrior PVP. (which I think is hilarious, but what can you do)
Blizzard is responsible for the balancing of the classes for both PvP and PvE. If they painted themselves into a corner, I feel badly, but that is no excuse for leaving a tanking class 20% behind their peers with no offsetting benefit.
To put it more bluntly.... they got themselves into this mess.... now they should get themselves out. Nerf PVProt or whatever they have to do... but let the tanks compete on a level playing field.
Deeps for show..... tank for dough.....
Is it a problem? Sure. Should they fix it? Sure.
They've probably got a -lot- of problems to fix. No to mention an expansion to design.
Warrior tanks are still comfortably beating content. We're not broken. So convincing anyone that it's a priority issue is going to be a hard sell.
That would help with aoe threat for sure...their concern was they didn't want it to be part of single target rotation (rather, they didn't want it spammed as a DPS ability on single targets). I don't really care, although it does fell more magic-y and less warrior-ish. Still, if it worked that would be fine by me.
Maybe they could make rend work for prot warriors sort of like it does for arms warriors? It puts up a 15 second dot that increases the damage from at least some of our abilities? To make it more PvP friendly (i.e. non-buffing) make it only work when we have 5 sunders up?
With all due respect to Kavtor, this has been a problem with warrior tanks for a long time. I know that not a lot could come from Blizzard as a result of our complaints.... but this is the only medium we have in order to make our case.
Further, if we can strike a nerve with Xav or Cider or any other higher profile WOW players, it may be possible for them to get some attention that the rest of us cannot.
Maybe not, but I am not going sit the sidelines. Its been over a year.....

Honestly Unger...while I have the highest respect for Cider, Xav, and the many other tanks here, everyone starts out as no one on the forums. The key is to make clear, well reasoned and data-driven arguements, not merely to invoke celebrity as a way to get attention. The fact that there hasn't been a blue post in Warwench's thread may be as much about them not wanting to attract more QQ than them avoiding the issue.
I agree with you Tom.... Im just saying whatever it takes....

Can we also get someone to work on putting dk's on the chart. For the love of pete that is annoying.

Maragos said that the failure of both NIFA and the Democratic caucus to work with County Executive Edward P. Mangano and approve $43.1 million in bonding for property tax refunds caused the deficit to balloon. With such approval, he said the deficit for 2011 would be at only $7 million and the 2012 projected budget would be nearly balanced.
"The deficit in 2011 was avoidable," Maragos reiterated, citing the failure to approve bonding legislation. "Similarly, the projected $45 million deficit in 2012 is partially the result of the anticipated failure of NIFA and the Legislative Minority to again approve the 2012 budgeted bonding for tax refunds. This ongoing lack of cooperation will continue to negatively affect the county."
Maragos emphasized that the audited results will be finalized on July 30. He said that the county executive is expected shortly to release a revised budget. Maragos told reporters that the revised budget should find $85 million in savings, from a combination of spending reductions and revenue enhancements, but also without an increase in property taxes.
Maragos said that the unexpected deficit problem is "not insurmountable." Otherwise, he said that county finances have seen improvements. Sales tax revenues, Maragos said, are expected to increase by 5 percent as opposed to the projected 3 percent. That, he added, has brought an extra $20 million to the county's coffers. Maragos also said that the county's cash flow basis remains "very healthy" and the deficit situation does not endanger any county employee.
In addition, Maragos said the budget's 2011 Structural Gap improved for the second consecutive year by approximately 7.3 percent to $127.6 million, down from $137.6 million in 2010. The amount of general borrowings during 2011, he added, was reduced by approximately 75 percent from $324 million in 2009 to $82 million in 2011.
Still, Maragos said that the county needs to replenish its reserve funds by not just eliminating the deficit, but also by achieving a budget surplus in 2012. Benefits to a surplus, he said, would not just be higher credit ratings for the county, but also the ability to eventually phase out borrowing for property tax refunds. To do that, the county will have to achieve savings of $90 million, a number that would deal with both the 2011 and 2012 budgets. To achieve those savings, Maragos recommended that the county executive's office should make additional budget cuts along with plans to "refocus" government on core functions: seek in-sourcing where possible, cancel all nonessential contractual services and maintenance contracts, halt all non-essential general expense purchases.
The press conference had partisan overtones and the responses were similar.
"The facts are that Ed Mangano has not achieved the projected savings he promised; he has given out tens of millions in crony contracts and wasted millions on baseless lawsuits; overtime in the county under his watch has run amok; he went back on his word to the youth and seniors in the county by cutting their funding; and he has consistently begged the legislature over and over to bail him out by borrowing and creating more and more deficits for years to come," said Minority Leader Kevan Abrahams (D – Freeport). "The only real savings he was able to achieve was due to the wage freeze imposed by NIFA, which he initially fought. Of course with this type of blatant fiscal mismanagement he will end the year in a $50 million deficit. I am surprised it's not more."
"The Democrats created Nassau's fiscal mess and have refused to provide the votes necessary to assist the county in fiscal recovery since losing their power over the legislature," said County Executive Mangano. "I am certain every resident is nauseated at the Democrats thinly-veiled attempt to create fiscal chaos for their own political advantage. All know that I put forth a plan, approved by the majority in the legislature and NIFA, to put Nassau on road to fiscal health. It is outrageous that the Democrats have not provided one vote to implement this plan. Notwithstanding their reckless act, I am working closely with NIFA to modify the multi-year plan to attack the $310 million deficit I inherited when taking office. With bipartisan cooperation, the deficit has been eliminated. Instead, the Democrats have blocked the fiscal stability plan which merely creates more burden on our taxpayers, more cost to our county and greater fiscal challenges for those seeking their rightful property tax refund."

"First of all, I want people to realize that it is hard to see all the old stars come back to Hall of Fame stuff and me not be included in all these things. I accomplished more than anyone in 2 years at WWF and I was part of one of the biggest match that started the attitude era with Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin. That match changed wrestling to what it is today. There is not a peep from anyone within WWE. I don't know why they won't give me a shot in the WWE and to challenge for the WWE title. I have reached out through many different types of media and the only thing I've heard back is that they're doing okay and don't need me. I say that if you're gonna be bringing people back from the attitude era and before that then I don't understand why you wouldn't bring me back. There seems to be a black mark against me and I don't understand it."
- Ken Shamrock on potential WWE return
Since news has surfaced that Ken Shamrock is now working as a security guard, many are starting to question his net worth. Some sources are stating that the former UFC champion is worth approximately $1.5 million, but many believe that it is much lower than that.
TMZ has revealed that Ken Shamrock is now a bodyguard, and the former UFC champion was spotted at an event in Las Vegas protecting 50 Cent. Shamrock is actually working for an agency and is not currently working full time for the rapper.

Industry: Florange furnaces closure, the end of an era?
This week saw bad news for French industry after steelmaker ArcelorMittal confirmed it is closing part of a plant in eastern France. Next, players for French handball champion Montpellier are accused of match-fixing. Finally, a new play criticising the lack of transparency at the UN hits the stage in Paris.

Written by Pat Grace: firstname.lastname@example.com Friday, 20 April 2012 00:00
The two couples sat at opposite sides of a small table but couldn't be farther apart.
Nancy and Tom Schmidt represented the Independent Oil and Gas Association (IOGA) of New York on the panel discussion about hydrofracking organized by the League of Women Voters (LWV) of Port Washington/Manhasset on March 22 at the Manhasset Public Library. The Schmidts believe hydrofracking is safe and necessary.
Patti and Doug Wood spoke on behalf of their organization, Grassroots Environmental Education, a nonprofit environmental health organization, to explain why they believe hydrofracking poses an enormous health risk to future generations.
Hydrofracking, commonly referred toas fracking, simply defined is a method of extracting natural gas from shale using pressurized liquids.
IOGA represents oil and gas professionals to the citizens and lawmakers of New York State, and has since 1980. The association says the industry provides safe, efficient and environmentally sound exploration for oil and natural gas in New York, employs thousands of workers and contributes to New York's quality of life. The Woods believe, well, the exact opposite.
Adding drama and urgency to the discussion, in September of 2011, the NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation (DEC) put out a study on hydrofracking, held a public comment period, received more than 61,000 comments and now the state must review the comments and respond to them. The Woods pointed out the DEC received more comments on hydrofracking than any other issue in its history.
IOGA is concerned that certain members of the state legislature will attempt to promote bills that stall or block the issuance of permits that would further delay the expansion of natural gas development in New York's southern tier. That is precisely what opponents to hydrofracking hope will happen.
"An event such as this," Sam Bernhardt, Long Island Organizer for Food & Water Watch, said, following the discussion, "where experts offer radically different opinions on an issue, is evidence that we should not allow fracking to happen in New York. Residents of North Hempstead agree on that. We have gathered over 2,300 petitions to State Senator Jack Martins asking that he support legislation to ban fracking in New York. Senator Martins has yet to support legislation that will keep fracking out of New York." Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel, however, is a strong advocate of banning hydrofracking in New York State, and she attended the debate at the library.
After the DEC submits its final report, the decision on issuing the permits will be made by Governor Cuomo. Following the debate, Nancy Cowles, a Port Washington resident, expressed her belief that the decision should not rest with one man. A spokeswoman for the Independent Oil and Gas Association, it was said, claimed the governor has been consistent in saying he will await the DEC findings before allowing the expansion of natural gas development in the southern tier.
Both sides presented their case after introductions by LWV President Jane Thomas and a formal introduction to hydraulic fracturing (shortened to hydrofracking, shortened further to fracking), by LWV Natural Resources/Land Use Chair Star Anthony. Following the pro and con presentations the audience was invited to ask questions. The panelists were intelligent, articulate and, to be expected, firmly entrenched in their beliefs. The crowd, too, predominantly from Great Neck and Port Washington, was informed, articulate and arrived armed with questions, and those who asked their questions seemed closely aligned with the environmentalists.
Shale rock contains large volumes of natural gas, she said, and after drilling a vertical well to the depth of the shale, massive volumes of fluids are pumped at high pressure to break up the rock formation that contains the natural gas. In the eastern part of the U.S. one large rock formation, the Marcellus shale, is sedimentary rock that runs under most of West Virginia, half of Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio and western New York.
Vertical drilling for natural gas has been taking place in New York State for many years, Anthony acknowledged, is grandfathered in and is not the subject of this current controversy—which is the opening of permits for horizontal high volume hydrofracking.
Fracking has aroused such inflamed controversy, Anthony said, that it has pitted neighbor against neighbor in upstate New York and across counties where oil and gas companies are seeking permission to use the process. Now, that heated controversy has reached Long Island because, she explained, of statements made that wastewater from the process may be processed here.
Anthony concluded saying, "It is a complicated issue. We all want our country and fellow citizens of New York to have access to energy sources but also pristine water, land and air. We want our governing representatives to provide both."
Nancy Schmidt, an impressively credentialed panelist, spoke first and drew the big picture enabling the audience to grasp the options for New York. Ninety percent of the fuel the world burns is hydrocarbons—coal and wood are hydrocarbons. Since 1971, she said, there has been a little nuclear power and some renewable energy - wind and solar power constitute a small percentage - but the bulk of our energy source is hydrocarbons. Not all states produce hydrocarbons, 32 do (New York is one), and they are produced where they are found.
Gas drilling, Ms. Schmidt said, is not new to New York, it began in 1821, when the first natural gas well, in Fredonia, was drilled. And 38 years later the first oil well was dug to 65 feet in Titusville, Pennsylvania.
Most hydrocarbons are produced in southern and western areas, so a huge system brings hydrocarbons from producer states like Texas, Louisiana, Wyoming and North Dakota to consumer states in the east coast, especially New York, Schmidt said, adding, "we are big consumers of natural gas, New York uses 1.2 trillion cubic feet of natural gas per year. So all that money leaves New York and goes to other states." New York, she added, pays more for natural gas than producer states do, plus it competes with them at peak times. New York is the fourth largest U.S. consumer of natural gas with 5 percent produced in-state and 95 percent imported. As more people become middle class, Schmidt explained, there is more demand for hydrocarbons and there is a lot of it here, in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and New York. Schmidt continued to make a case for hydraulic fracturing in New York based on economic benefits. She said in Ithaca, where Cornell is located, opposition to hydraulic fracturing is widespread. But in poor rural counties where there is not much industry, they want it.
The Schmidts provided handouts containing information on natural gas from the perspective of the IOGA of NY and the American Petroleum Institute. Points were made that the state DEC requires every service company to disclose the chemicals used in hydraulic fracture stimulation. As for natural gas facts in all America, it says 91 percent of all gas and oil wells are hydraulic fracture stimulated, with negligible environmental impact. And, it says hydraulic fracturing solutions are composed of 99.5 percent water and sand and .5 percent other additives, including some chemicals.
The Woods believe when using hydraulic fracturing once a well is drilled, millions of gallons of water, sand and proprietary chemicals are injected, under high pressure, into a well. The pressure fractures the shale and props open fissures that enable natural gas to flow more freely out of the well, and they believe horizontal fracking uses a mixture of 596 chemicals, many of them proprietary, and millions of gallons of water per frack. This water then becomes contaminated and must be cleaned and disposed of.
Each statement made by one set of panelists was summarily refuted by the other.
Ms. Schmidt said chemicals used in the fracking process are registered, are publicly available, are listed on the DEC website (www.dec.ny.gov). Many of those listed are not, in reality, used, she said, but listed for the industry to be covered. When she said that increasingly the industry is using food grade chemicals in their response to the concerns of the public, the audience laughed.
Doug Wood said the precise cocktail of chemicals used in fracking is unknown due to what is commonly referred to as the Halliburton Loophole. In 2005, the Bush/Cheney energy bill exempted natural gas drilling from the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 that congress passed to ensure clean drinking water is free from both natural and manmade contaminates. Because of the loophole, gas companies do not have to disclose the chemicals used during hydraulic fracturing.
The Schmidt's literature states that act was amended three times from 1980 to 1996 and hydraulic fracturing was never considered for additional federal legislation.
The gas industry claims that, "despite more than one million instances of hydraulic fracturing, there are no cases of hydraulic fracturing causing fracturing fluids to come in contact with groundwater." Patti Wood said, "There is a dance going on here." She claimed the gas industry does not want to admit contamination of the water supply and will inform affected families they will provide them with fresh drinking water if they sign a non-disclosure clause. The Woods claimed they had discovered the fact when attempting to interview individuals. Patti Wood asked, "If there is nothing going on then why all these non-disclosure statements signed in order to get their fresh water?" Ms. Schmidt countered saying the area in question on Carter Road in Dimick, Pennsylvania has a history of bad water.
Will fracking deplete streams and lakes of fresh water? Not so, Nancy Schmidt said, laws are in place to prevent the overuse of water through the permitting processes. Doug Wood had a different take on the problem, saying there is ongoing worldwide water depletion and eventually wars could be fought over clean water and that fracking takes water out of circulation.
The panelists disagreed and sparred for the duration of the presentation, then the audience was permitted to ask questions.
Port Washington resident Judy Epstein drew applause when she recounted how struck she was by a comment describing the contaminated run-off water in the hydrofracking process, and how it reminded her of a proverb: "A teaspoon of water in a barrelful of sewage is a barrelful of sewage. A teaspoon of sewage in a barrelful of water is also a barrelful of sewage."

Haydn: Symphonies Nos 13-16
CDH55114 Helios (Hyperion's budget label)
Movement 1: Allegro molto
Movement 2: Adagio cantabile
Movement 3: Menuet
Movement 4: Finale: Allegro molto
The great hall in the palace at Eisenstadt was fairly large and had an ample acoustic, something that Haydn bore in mind in his twenty or so symphonies written there between 1761 and 1765 (from 1766 the bulk of the court's musical activities shifted to the new summer palace of Eszterháza, the intimacy of whose music room led Haydn to experiment with more chamber-music-like sonorities). This is most notable in the first movement of No 13, whose sustained, organ-like wind chords counterbalance and support the vigorous rhythmic repetitions of the unison arpeggio string theme that dominates the movement. A further subtle use of the acoustic occurs when the recapitulation arrives with a surreptitious piano, before the four unison horns proudly proclaim the arpeggio idea.
Almost something straight out of a concerto, the 'Adagio cantabile' is a movement for solo cello whose melody gently meanders above a repeated staccato chordal pattern on the other strings. The Minuet restores the tutti forces of the whole orchestra, but for the trio Haydn again reduces the instrumentation to strings, this time accompanying a solo flute. For the finale, Haydn combines a fugal style with sonata form. The cantus firmus subject will doubtlessly sound familiar, being the same four-note Gregorian 'Credo' theme that would later furnish the finale of Mozart's last symphony, No 41 in C, K551.

The minuet, drawing maximum capital from its first three notes, is one of Haydn's most muscular and theatrical, while its trio sets aggressive military tattoos on wind and brass against the strings' mysterious excursions into distant keys. There is no trace here of the stylized rusticity found in all the other trios of the 'London' symphonies. After the premiere Haydn informed Frau von Genzinger that No 93's finale was 'too weak' in relation to the opening movement and needed altering. Whether or not he ever did revise it, the finale as we know it is one of the wittiest and most powerful he ever wrote, culminating (after an ostentatiously self-important general pause) in a coda of rowdy hilarity. With a gleeful display of rhythmic and harmonic trickery, Haydn repeatedly thwarts expectation of a full recapitulation. He also plays his characteristic games with the main theme's upbeat quavers, at one point setting the thunderous power of the full orchestra against a lone cello.

SRAM Quarq Red GXP Power Meter $1,995.00
If you're not training with power, you're probably not trying to win races. Everyone from coaches to sports physiologists agree that power meter training is essential to a cyclist's progression. The new Quarq Red GXP Power Meter is the latest revolution in this field; not only by being the first power meter to be designed into a SRAM gruppo, but also by increasing reading accuracy while decreasing overall weight. If you're looking to take your riding to the next level, there's only one obvious choice.
The Quarq Red GXP Power Meter is Quarq's most sophisticated Power Meter system to date. The Red features SRAM's integrated, carbon crankarms and 2012 Red chainrings. For a rigid attachment, the Red uses a CNC-machined aluminum spider. The result is the holy grail of Power Meters -- a high-performance crankset that feels, looks, and acts like the revolutionary 2012 SRAM Red. You also maintain the hallmark weight savings of SRAM, with the complete Power Meter weighing in at an ultra-light claimed weight of 778 grams. The Red Power Meter is also extremely accurate, operating on the powerful ANT+ wireless system with an expressed accuracy of +/- 1.5%. This, new to 2012, increased accuracy boasts a 0.5% advantage over most SRM Power Meters.
Choosing the Quarq Red Power Meter provides you with several advantages over other systems. For one, it's the first and only Power Meter system to be designed and integrated for use with the 2012 SRAM Red groupset, operating flawlessly with the new Red Yaw front derailleur and Red shifters. Also new to the Red is Quarq's Power Balance technology that displays the ratio of power generated between the drive and non-drive crankarms. This function seeks to improve rider form and efficiency, as you can now quantifiably measure uneven distributions of force in your pedal stroke. Red also features the new Omnical power measurement that makes digital measurement and accuracy independent of the chainrings. This allows you to swap rings without impeding the overall accuracy of the system. Our favorite feature is the game-changing ability to change the system battery yourself. Unlike SRM Power Meter systems that require you to mail in your crankset for battery swap-outs, the Red Power Meter features a tool-less user replacement system as well as a predicted 300+ hours of ride time per battery. This means more time in the saddle and no need for backup cranksets.
The Quarq Red GXP Power Meter uses integrated electronics with minimal interconnections. What this means to you is that the new Red system is completely waterproof. The Red Power Meter System is also compatible with various training software such as Training Peaks WKO+, Training Peaks, Golden Cheetah, and Strava. The Red Power Meter operates wirelessly with ANT+, and is offered as a standalone item.
The Quarq Red GXP Power Meter is available in both standard (39/53) and compact (34/50) chain ring sizes, and in 170mm, 172.5mm, and 175mm crankarm lengths. Please note that this system is only compatible with 2012 SRAM Red gruppo.

I'm interested in the SRAM Quarq Red GXP Powermeter. I currently have SRAM Force derailleurs and shifters on both bikes. Can I use this on my bikes? I was concerned about a compatibility note on the SRAM site mentioning the new Red Yaw front derailleur. Also I guess I just can't buy the derailleur but would need new shifters as well?
Damon Salter
I have been running the new SRAM GXP Crankset and Yaw Front Derailleur (2013 Model Year) with old SRAM Rival Shifters with no issue for over 6 months and everything has performed really well. Just note that your trim on the front shifter doesn't function and doesn't need to.

"Knowing how to protect your personal information and reduce the risk of identity theft are critical skills these days," said Lt. Helen Hall with the Buncombe County Sheriff's Office. "We want to help everyone learn how to safeguard their information, spot potential signs of trouble early, and minimize the damage identity theft can cause."
It's a serious crime that can disrupt your finances, credit history, and reputation, and it takes time, money, and patience to resolve. Identity protection is a 21st century practice that can become habit. It requires thinking about your personal information as a valuable commodity and treating it with care.
July 9 is also Walgreens Senior Savings Day. Adults 55 and over will receive 15 percent off their entire purchase and 20 percent off all Walgreens Products. See store manager for more details.

Remember when Daphne Guinness admitted to being the mystery benefactor who bought up Isabella Blow's entire collection of clothes to save them from going under the hammer to separate individuals?
She described it in retrospect as 'probably the maddest decision ever' and went on to say 'I thought what's going to happen is [the pieces are] going to be lost. She had an incredible eye and she truly loved her pieces, they're like a diary. I didn't want to buy them and wear them, I wanted to buy them and keep them because I think it's very interesting for students and people who are interested in fashion to see.'
Now she's planning what sounds like an extremely glamorous auction of another kind – that of 100 pieces from her own archive at Christies – to raise funds for the newly inaugurated 'Isabella Blow Foundation'. The magnificent-sounding collection will be exhibited to potential buyers and the public for a few days leading up to the auction in June, and will doubtlessly have fashionistas frantically scribbling in the June pages of their Smythson diaries.
Daphne has created a charity in her cousin Isabella's memory. The mission of The Isabella Blow Foundation 'is to continue the work of Issie, supporting new and emerging talent in the sphere where art and fashion meet' – a realm championed by Daphne. A portion of the funds generated by the Foundation will also be donated to various charities.
According to a Christies spokesperson, the lots for auction include 'some of the most iconic and cutting-edge haute couture of the early21st century, owned and worn by Daphne Guinness. Including designs by the likes of Alexander McQueen, Chanel, Balenciaga and others,' - we can't wait to go and have a sneak peak at the couture wonders and Japanese shoe-sculptures!
The Daphne Guinness Collection; Sold to Benefit the Isabella Blow Foundation will take place on 27 June 2012 at Christie's South Kensington saleroom, 85 Old Brompton Road. The contents of the sale will be on public exhibition at Christie's from 23 to 27 June 2012.

Thailand Trip - December 2010
Registered: 11/24/00

Loc: west o' the rockies
Just got back from a month in Thailand. I had two weeks of work and then two weeks to travel. My wife came over for the second two weeks and after a couple days exploring Bangkok (Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Weekend Market, et al), we headed south to West Railay, arguably the most famous climbing locale in Thailand (and perhaps SE Asia). We flew from Bangkok to Krabi on Air Asia (cheaper than Thai Airways) and then took a taxi from the Krabi Airport to the beach at Ao Nang (400 Baht OW for the two of us). A 15 minute boat ride got us from the Ao Nang beach to the West Railay beach.
We stayed at the Sand & Sea Resort in West Railay, which was great (see Trip Advisor and other travel websites for reviews). The climbing in the Railay area is on limestone and there's plenty of it. The Railay area is a very popular beach destination and consequently there are lots of tourists. The locals have done a good job of promoting climbing as a half day or full day adventure activity, hence there are beginner rock climbing classes at the crags constantly. What this means is that the easier (5.7-5.10a) climbs are frequently busy with groups (at least during the Xmas season, which is when we were there).
We climbed at the 1,2,3 Wall, Muay Thai Wall, Escher Wall and Thaiwand Wall. All had good sport routes and were in very easy walking distance of the Sand and Sea Resort. A 60 meter rope and a dozen quickdraws will suffice for these areas. We also navigated through the cave that runs from the Escher Wall on Phra Nang Beach through to the Thaiwand Wall on the West Railay Beach. This is a very fun little outing. You definitely need a headlamp to get through the cave, which is perhaps 300 yards long and involves climbing bamboo ladders.
If you are interested in very overhanging sport routes and/or the young hipster scene (we are old and weak so neither of these options appealed to us), then Tonsai Beach is the place to go. It's about a 15 minute walk from West Railay.
After West Railay, we took a ferry south to the island of Koh Phi Phi Don. This island is extremely popular with college partiers, but also has good climbing and excellent diving and snorkeling. We stayed at the Phi Phi Inn, which was OK (we would look for alternate accommodation if we were to go back). If you want 24/7 partying while on the island, stay at the Tonsai Village portion of town. If you want a more relaxed scene, stay closer to the pier. The optimum for quiet, would probably be to stay to the left (west) of the pier (closest to Tonsai Tower). The town is small enough that you can easily walk anywhere within a few minutes. We climbed at the Tonsai Tower, which looms over the harbor. The routes here were also on limestone, but of a different sort than Railay. The rock was more akin to climbing in the Canmore, Canada area than El Potrero Chico in Mexico or the south of France.
We then headed north to Chiang Mai. We had originally hoped to travel from Bangkok to Chiang Mai via the overnight train, but it was fully booked, so we flew. Our accommodation was at the Yindee Guesthouse inside the old walled city portion of Chiang Mai. We climbed at the Crazy Horse Buttress, which is roughly 20 miles outside Chiang Mai. The easiest way to accomplish this is to go to the climbing shop in town and book transport through them. This costs 250 Baht/person (the exchange rate when we were there was about 30 Baht/US dollar) and includes transport in the back of a pickup truck to and from town, clean drinking water and a good Thai lunch at the crag. Going to and from the crag via the climbing shop transport there is a quick stop at a roadside eatery where you can use the bathroom and buy food and drinks (this is especially important at the end of the day, because you can buy beer to drink on the way back to town!).
The locals have done an incredible job of developing the Crazy Horse Buttress area. It is well signed, there are contoured paths to each of the cliffs, the bases of most of the walls have been stabilized and there are shade structures. A 60 meter rope and a dozen quickdraws will suffice at this area. The limestone here comes in two basic flavors – the grey, featured rock similar to El Potrero Chico and a yellow/orange variety that is reminiscent of the Yellow Wall at the Gunks. We did a bunch of great routes at the Crazy Horse Buttress. The local guides that use this area seem very squared away and the area has been developed with guiding in mind. There are enough moderate routes for both guided and non-guided parties to stay busy without crowding each other (unlike Railay).
When we arrived in West Railay we purchased a sport climbing guidebook to Thailand from the Hot Rock climbing shop (800 Baht). This 2010 guide covered Railay, Phi Phi Don, crags in central Thailand and the Crazy Horse Buttress. The guide looked very slick, but proved not to be particularly useful. Despite being published in 2010, the guide had incorrect bolt counts for almost every route, inconsistent ratings and didn't come close to including all of the established routes (I can hear the pundits now – not much different than the guides I have produced!). The other guidebooks that we looked at (with the exception of the Northern Thailand guide for Crazy Horse Buttress) seemed equally inaccurate/dated. Most visiting climbers we spoke with seemed of the same opinion. The takeaway is that you should expect, at least in the near term, to ask others about difficulty/quality and judge routes yourself rather than relying solely on the currently available guidebooks. This guidebook situation should not be construed as a big problem – after all, it's a sport climbing area, so it's unlikely you'll get in much trouble if you venture onto an unknown route.
Another issue unique to the seaside climbing areas in Thailand concerns the viability of bolts. Many of the older (pre-2000) routes were established with stainless steel expansion bolts and hangers. Due to the nature of the area (salt air, humidity, limestone, etc), many of these bolts and hangers are now suspect and the routes considered unsafe to climb. A large number of routes were more recently established with stainless steel glue in "loop" style bolts. These too have become suspect. The current standard is Hilti titanium "loop" style bolts with red epoxy. This configuration reportedly costs about 550 Baht each, which is a lot of money for Thai climbers. Consequently, there are many routes included in the guidebooks that have not been retrofitted with new titanium anchors and are reportedly unsafe to climb. It's also common to find a cluster of three bolts next to each other on a route – an old expansion bolt, a stainless steel glue in, and a new titanium glue in. This sort of "generational stacking" of bolts seldom occurs on climbs in the US.
In summary, it was a great trip and Thailand is a wonderful destination.

Nope I was a meany face before I ever started tanking.
I woke up one morning still groggy and did my random daily. Getting my head straight I started pulling and warming up.
With the new Dungeon Finder anyone can easily be replaced at will. So you make the call. Do you want to complete this dungeon now or wait 15 more minutes? Seems like being a total a$$ hat and pulling for the tank would be a bad move if your in a hurry.Priest "You need to pull faster"
Me "You need to chill out"
Priest "Well I could just leave"
Me "Bye"
Normally I chain pull and go fast, but if if someone important to me is whispering or my wife needs my attention for a minute you dam well better believe your desire for me to go faster comes in a far second. This is a heroic not a progression raid.
If a tank is obviously taking forever (ie: more than just the first few pulls) then consider politely asking them to pick up the pace. If the tank just plain sucks balls, save your self the time and leave.

There is something so appealing about backhanding someone across the face with a shield.

True Knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.
Agg's tanking guide
I've never been mean or atleast not initially to anyone. I find at this point in my tanking it's a matter of patience. I have very little it seems.
I've found the LFG tool to be both good and bad in some regards. It's a PuG, so the results vary. I usually adjust my speed of pulls after the first one or two based on how fast or slow we kill the mobs. I got Old Kingdom yesterday and after the first 2 pulls I knew the group was solid enough to chain pull the whole place. I only stopped right before bosses if people needed to mana. That was a decent group, which alot are. But, I've already been in a couple where if I see my name at 1st or 2nd on DPS meter I know I might have to take it a bit slower depending on the healer.
It does bug me when people do stupid stuff, like going full bore out of the gate, not understanding tank mechanics much less their own. Then try to blame the tank or healers. Finally, the thing that pisses off more than anything is if some says, "Tank do this or that" or "Tank don't let me die". After that, I usually let them die.
I wouldn't say tanking has made me mean, but it has made me less tolerant of stupid stuff.
I pull as fast as I think the DPS can handle. If I observe DPS who know when to start DPSing, I'll pull multiple groups. If I think they'll start AoE as soon as I get the first group, then I won't pull the 2nd group. I pull for what I think the group can handle, not just what I personally can tank.
My pet peeve is 'hurry up and wipe'. i.e. I hate tanks/groups that go *too fast* and wipe instead of saving time.
Am I the only person who gets annoyed when dps constantly yells "go go"
Ah, yes, the "pew-pew" comments annoy the crap out of me. If the healer tells me to pull faster, I go. If the DPS say it and healer doesn't chime in, I ignore it. I can only get away with this because tanks and healers spend about 4 seconds in the queue while DPS waits 6-10 minutes (at the time I play).
Nothing worse that seeing a second mob pulled when my aoe threats are on CD because no one noticed the pat on the first pull but me .....
If you can't deal with waiting a little, seriously, drink less coffee. I chain pull instances on my tank, but when I'm healing I just make sure everyone's bar is topped up and relax. It seems almost ADHD-esque to just start pulling mobs because you can't wait. :-/
Summary: If healer is pulling let him die
This turned out a much better thread than I hoped for.
I really do think it is all about patience. Since I played a DPS first, then healer, and now my tank is my main, I have seen it from 3 different view points.
As a dps I was at mercy of the tank, so I behaved. As a healer, my goal was to keep everyone at 100%, (since after 500 emblems or so, you get pretty bored with the normal challenge)
But as a tank, I love it. I own the 5 mans, I decide pace of the group, it feeds my control freak tendencies. And after running 20-30 heroics in one day on my tank I couldn't do any other way. I guess when you go tank you don't go back?
Also, when I do pull as healer I tend to pull 2 group mobs max, which as disc I can heal through for a while.
Lastly, as a suggestion to other healers who have an impatient streak, I say try to dps, while you heal. Get yourself a holy nova glyph and stack those dots.
I am not that geared but I have pulled overall 1200 dps in VH and my personal best was the last boss of gundrak of 2194.
I do play this game for fun and I do realize that people have different skill levels, but sometimes my fun comes at the expense of others. If it wasn't for LFG I could never do it.
P.S. If a tank ever let me die, I would get in line, but they are so control freak they can't let agro stay on someone else but them......evil laugh.
I have a freaking name. It's short, it's easy to abbreviate, it has no wierd characters in it. Use it. And please extend the same courtesy to the others in my group.
I amused myself in H PoS once:
"Hey, this is a premade, so I hope ur good."
"No, sorry, I'm terrible." (leaves group)
The warm glow of schadenfraude lasted the entire 15 minutes I was waiting for the deserter debuff to go away
Not mean, tanking makes you feel as if you have responsibility for the group.
I'm just starting tanking again in the 5 mans since I stopped when wotlk came out and I switched classes. I'm a fast puller though and I'm much more likely to pull too fast then too slow and wipe us that way. Heck theres 3 5mans I haven't even run yet even though my tank set is all recent raid epics I've been collecting the whole xpac.
If a healer wants a group to go faster, whisper the tank and tell em you can go faster cause you want more to heal. A healer who wants a tank to go slower should ask for it in whisper. Nothing wrong with that, it's our job to work well together since it requires both of us to do it.
Now when someone does silly things like makes a pull when I'm not ready for whatever reason is an idiot. If it's a DPS, I usually just whisper the healer and tell them to not heal them if they do it again.
Being a pally tank now though I could always DI the healer and let you guys pay some repair bills that meanness came from having been a raid leader not from being a tank though
Hell if I care if you want to tank shit, I'll pick up the others and you can ask for new buffs.
I usually figure that on trash, if the healer has more than 50% mana, it's OK for me to pull. Of course, unless dps are being stupid, the healer always has more than 50% mana. The reason I figure it's OK to pull is because on most heroics I can survive a trash pull or two entirely without a healer, or more if the dps don't suck.
I've had healers bitch at me when I pulled while they were at 80% mana, because they needed to drink. I have a priest alt. I heal stuff too. If you're at 80% mana, you don't need to drink, dammit.
It hasn't made me mean. It's made me impatient. I have 3 80 tanks, DK leveling is slow because I don't like tanking on it yet, and I chain pull like no tomorrow. My favorite move is to shockwave or conc the last few mobs and then charge off to round up the next pull while dps finishes them off.
However, my main raiding toon is a warlock, and I have plenty of other alts (every class above 63 atm) and when I run dungeons, I'm tapping my fingers, just lickin my chops for the keyboard turning "I've never done this instance before" tank to get the hell going. It's particularly bad in Outlands dungeons, where I'm still so used to the pulls from BC heroics I could do them while I had a RL snobold on my head, and the tank is a fresh DK, or it's his first toon and he's leveling up and can barely hold on to his main target.
While I like it when a tank moves fast, I hate it when a tank won't let me get out of combat, particularly for my rogue. If you won't let me get back into combat, I'm generating energy 30% slower, and I'm not getting to garrote mobs, which means if I want to Hunger for Blood, I'll need to waste a bunch of combo points on rupture. Basically, it's a pretty big dps loss not to be able to restealth. I like to push the limits on my tank too, but usually I'll let people tick out of combat for a half second before pulling.
The neat group dies, you get out of combat while I charge the next one and get threat on it. By the time you get there, you've dropped out of combat, and are ready to start again, and I've had a couple seconds to set things up for you. It works well for me, and I like it on my DPS and heal toons, too.
DPS that tells me to 'gogogogogo', I tell them to go at my pace, or leave, as I can replace them in 30 seconds or less with the new LFG tool. If they want to go faster, they can tank it on their own tank toon. I'm not a slow puller by any means, I just don't have any need to pull whole rooms to show off.

Tomato tasting events let you try a rainbow of colors
I'm amazed by the great variety of vegetables now available. As a kid I ate mainly corn, peas and carrots, and these were mostly out of cans. As an adult I'm still adding new vegetables to my culinary repertoire like Swiss chard, Brussels sprouts, rutabaga, purslane, kale and artichoke (I end it here because the list would become quite long!). Admittedly, I still haven't met an eggplant I like, although I think they are beautiful.
I'm also impressed with the color variation within a vegetable. Carrots, for instance, are usually orange but there are also purple, red, white and yellow varieties. Many other vegetables like potatoes, beans, tomatoes and peppers come in a rainbow of colors. Nutritionists advise us to eat vegetables rich in colors since this is often where antioxidants and other nutrients exist. Tomatoes are one of my favorite vegetables to taste test. Many of the older heirloom varieties come in non-traditional colors, and can have incredible flavors to match. They can be red (of course!), pink, yellow, white, orange, green, and even black (more like a dark mahogany). Red tomatoes often have that rich "tomato" flavor we've come to expect, while pink, yellow and white tomatoes can be lighter, sweeter and somewhat less acidic. Green tomatoes are decidedly tangy and black tomatoes are rich and earthy. Tomato tastings have become a fun late summer event all over the country.
This Saturday, September 7, the Rock Prairie Master Gardeners Association is hosting free tomato tastings at their 8th annual Garden Festival, held at the Rock County 4-H Fairgrounds from 10 am to 4 pm. Garden Festival also features fried green tomato samples, garden and tree information, children's activities and more. This is a wonderful way to try out new tomato varieties. Take notes for which tomatoes you'd like to grow next year in your own garden!

Germany struggles to cope with surge in 'Crystal meth'
Methamphetamine, or "Crystal meth" as it is more commonly known, is being branded the world's most dangerous drug. Widely used in the United States, over the past two years it has become a lot more common in countries like Germany, especially since the Czech Republic changed its drug laws. Border police are struggling to cope with the number of Germans crossing the border to stock up on the life-threatening substance.
