The newest cast members are looking like they are going to hold their weight in season 2. My prediction is that DJ's Traci Steele and Baby Drew are going to bring a bit of balance to all the ratchetness. My prediction is that their storyline is going to ground the show, giving it a family / tug at your heart strings kind of appeal. Supporting cast members Shay "buckey" Johnson and Che Mac bring the heat as well. Shay's love affair with Scrappy continues, and Joseline gets a taste of her own homewrecker medicine when Che Mac hypnotizes Stevie J with her thighs. Let me stop with all this "prediction" BS.

Get the add on called TauntMaster. No explanation needed.
Normally DPS should take care of their threat. If they only dps your main threat target they should never pull off you, except in some fights where the mechanics make it possible (aggro wipes and stuff ...)
If the healer pulls of you by healing you then you are doing something wrong. Normally this only happens when tanking multiple mobs and by accident ignoring one (not really possible with blood boil and death and decay). That one will then go for the healer because the healer generates aggro on all mobs by healing you. Simple solution, taunt it back and generate some aggro.
Hint: It can be very hard to see what mobs you have aggro on when tanking multiple mobs. Get the tidy plates/threat plates addons. It will make your life so much easier.
Get the add on called TauntMaster. No explanation needed.
I like tauntmaster. It not only shows threat, but allows you to taunt-off by clicking the persons name even if you can not find them in the fray (as long as they are in range and line-of-sight). Left click on the name for Death Grip, right click for Dark Command.
Regarding threat and whose fault it is when it goes bad: on rare occasions a healer may be responsible for mishandling their aggro - last night our party back-pulled and the healer ran away from me with her mobs instead of to me; I was trying to taunt off and hold the rest of the mobs and had to chase her down - but in general it is up to the healer and tank to "have each others' backs". Pro dps can do their jobs without putting too much strain on tank or heals by: watching their threat meters, using aggro dumps when appropriate, not standing in stuff and expecting to be healed through it, and (with rare exceptions) focusing on the tank's target. I learned a lot about being pro dps after I started tanking and seeing things from a tank's point of view. Now my hunter sets the tank as his focus at the beginning of a run, and has hot-keyed "misdirect to focus" and "assist focus" macros.
I must have missed this in the Guide or the subsequent posts afterwards, but how much +hit does a DK tank need? I have looked at several in game DK tanks and a few on the armory and none have any +hit except what is a base stat on a piece of gear. How do we get passed the miss/parry/dodge issues to ensure we are holding aggro? Again if I missed that section could somebody link it? I started tanking a little in WoLK, but since my DK was an alt I didn't have much time to get serious about it. I am trying to get my DK geared enough to fill in if we don't have enough tanks for a our raids.
So dks! we are getting a battle rez. Thoughts?
I for one like this as I almost never used my raise ally spell. I think they made a good move here. When they limited the number of battle rezes per battle it makes sense to give the skill to more classes so that more raids can use it. If a raid already has a druid or warlock than nada changes, but now others can benefit.
Love the battle rez
I don't raid but now I can rez the overaggroing/standing in stuff DPS so he/she can die again <evil smile>
I must say I'm loving the new Death Strike mechanics with stacking Blood Shields, especially in combination with Symbiotic Worm. I managed to get 80K+ shields stacked a few times after I got the trinket last night. Here's one particularly nice sequence:
Will of the Necropolis + Turn of the Worm + 40K Death Strike heals = WIN (well, maybe not win, but at least no damage for a while, lol)
Unforgiven | Blood DK tank: Urikslargda |
"It's always the Healer's fault; unless it's the Tanks fault, just ask the DPS'er in purples doing 5k!"
I've been playing dk for a few years now and seen them evolve into cata Main tanking all raids in my guild but it seems since the launch of cata people are worried about the damage i take in raids etc. We've downed a few bosses with little trouble from my eyes. I've scoured forums going on about mastery vs avoidance and seem to have a good grip on that trying out both but when it comes down to the spec there isnt much to go on except what EJ set out which EVERYONE seems to follow yet i cant see reason to have abilites such as blood worms or lichborne or even the RP increase when i would rather take a AP or damage increase on diseases etc. Due to trying out different specs iv found that im not really missing the DRW either as stacking mastery my avoidance was pretty low so wasnt a reliable cd. Any help people can throw my way?
pre 4.0.6 from a healing pov, i HATED healing dk'sd...they seemed to take nonstop dmg, of epic proportion...( currently of my 4 healers only my sham, and pally r 85)
from a tanking pov, i stopped my dkalmost immediatelyafter trying a few dungeon runs...The same reult, my avoidance was very low, and the hits were many..(my tanks r warr,pally,dk)
Since 4.0.6 my outlook has completely changed(from a tanking pov)...These are wondewrful tanks, and the adition of the new Masteryseems to be working as intended...
As a healer in 4.0.6, LEARN TO USE YOUR DS DAMMIT,Lol....Jk
It seems to be much easier healing dk tanks now..(The ones who utilize the blood shield)Although i have been favoring my Warr for tanking, (due to an overabundance of paladins) I no longer factor out my Dk, and enjoy him as much as ever..THANK YOU Blizz
My BS is up basically as much as I can yet when a raid member checked damage i take compared ot other guilds/raids it seems i take more then i should be. Reading forums I've seen that its normal for dk's to take extra damage but apparently according to results a lesser geared dk following the EJ build is taking less damage then i am and surely having an extra "unreliable" cd isnt going to make that much difference. Bloodworms doesnt decrease damage and the lichborne ability just helps heal yourself with DC so I cant see any reason behind this?
Are you timing your DS for maximum heal/shield? How many DS do you use per minute? Are you using all your cooldowns as often as possible?
Stop worrying so much about how much damage you're taking and start looking closer at the gap between what you're taking and what you're self-healing. That's what really matters.
Bloodworms is a major part of your self-healing. You're sacrificing a lot of survival if you go without them. No question about it.
Lichborne (post-nerf) is still very effective if you plan for when to use it. I like to think of it as a more complicated version of the Paladin's Lay on Hands ability. You can't use it very often, but it can give you a major recovery in a pinch.
Unless you're having threat problems, why are you worried about your AP? That's just not a big priority for a tank. Control and survival is your job.
By way of example, on Maloriak 10-man last night my self-heals and Blood Shields were accounting for nearly 16% of all healing done in the raid. My Bloodworms alone accounted for almost a third of that. During the course of one fight, for example, I took 3.8 million damage but self-healed/shielded 1.77 million, of which 540K came from the Bloodworms.
Unforgiven | Blood DK tank: Urikslargda |
I know AP isnt a priority stat for tanks i just think its better spent then the bloodworms, increased AP/strength should technically mean more damage = more healing/shielding unless im being completly retarded? so thought that they generally balance out aswell within the raid as it also helps hold aggro and deal damage which in certain fights probably need it. I scoured thru so many forums before deciding my spec and when i finally got one about bloodworms i cant say peoples reaction to them were too great.
I generally keep my cooldowns on rotation (unless i need specific ones for specific abilities) going back to my first post i dont really seem to miss DRW that much as im attempting the mastery route but respecced into it today and cant say it impressed me.
With my DS i try to time it for the right times to get maximum healing possible, cant particularly say how many times a minute i use it as i havnt got combat logs to hand but again due to a respec and glyph change so that i have more RP coupled with the glyph gives me an extra 16% which if im not mistaken is an extra 8% healing so im seeing your point about not worrying about the damage i take but seem to not be able to explain that to guild members.
Im open to critiscm here. As i said i know DK's take alot of damage and looking when i was facing the omnitron fight i only took about 20k more damage then a lesser geared druid tank (not sure if thats a viable point there or not) and needed less healing so maybe im worrying about nothing and just need to get used to the abuse im taking from bosses or is there room here for improvement? Also whats the view on Gargoyle vs swordshattering is it worth dropping 1-2k armour and a few k health for a 4% parry increase?
It seems that you're under the impression that Death Strike's heal scales with the amount of damage it does:
The amount healed by Death Strike has absolutely nothing to do with the amount of damage it deals.
On a side note, there's an addon called Blood Shield Tracker that provides a graphical bar that displays how much heal you can expect to get out of Death Strike, very useful.
One last thought on Stoneskin Gargoyle vs Stoneshattering: The extra parry from Stoneshattering does not factor in to parry's diminishing returns. Therefore, you should have as close to exactly 4% more parry than dodge as you can get if you elect to go with Stoneshattering. I firmly believe that you should use Gargoyle if you are prioritizing mastery at all as the extra 2% of stamina will result in Death Strike's base heal going up by 0.58% and the shield going up as well.
EDIT: My statement about 4% more parry with Stoneshattering is incorrect. Given the dodge and parry ratings with no gear at 85 (mine is 3.94 and 5.00, respectively) your dodge and parry % will not reflect a 4% greater parry rating. Your dodge and parry rating should be the same, regardless of which rune you use on your weapon.
Also, I need to give credit to the guys over at elitistjerks.com for the information I put out, as I only regurgitated it. They did all of the hard work.

2 more add ons that can help you as a tank... especifically a DK.
Blood Shield Tracker
Vengeance Status
These 2 along with Tauntmaster should help keep you in the know when tanking.
One thing I have started doing that helps me and it's trivial is having recount set on healing done and try to maximise your healing output per sec (HPS) vs. your DS usage, of course this goes along with reading your logs to see your blood shield sizes along with other helpful things. Me and a buddy DK were comparing HPS one night and he was way ahead of me; Him 3k HPS vs. Me at 1800 HPS. Gear roughly the same with me having a better trinket, shoulders and chest. Simply put I was not using DS enough and also not using my Blood Tap after every CD which was really hurting me healing wise. This was an easy fix by just re-prioritizing some key binds but it has made a big difference in my durability, I really couldn't believe I wasn't using it enough and argued at first, but I was wrong and more importantly my healers, and yours will as well love you for it.
Some numbers concerning Blood Worms on Chimaeron; Total healing done by me was 4,594,422 or 15.39% of total healing done and BW accounted for 1,011,236 or 3.39%. Thats nothing to complain about and I'm sure your raid group if given the chance would not choose to do without that healing.
I have never looked at the Gargoyle forge that way. I am currently using the Shattering forge and though it's RNG based, and according to you I have been using it wrongly because I have tried to keep my dodge and parry as close as possible but it does make sense because of the DR. I might go back to the Gargoyle and reforge my gear again for bigger BS healz. Funny enough I have been all over the board between avoidance vs. Mastery, I can safely say that at least you can see the numbers and hard results from Mastery.
At one time I was just under 20 mastery but my hit and exp. were very low, I forget exact numbers but they were low. I reforged some mastery/parry to hit and exp to bring my numbers up a little along with using the exp/hit weapon from deadmines I believe and it made my healz and overall general play seem smoother. Currently I'm at about 5% hit and 18 expertise and almost 18 mastery, though I feel I could lose a little exp. and may forge some for mastery soon.
@Robbmarrs - The Tauntmaster addon is a poor choice compared to Tidy Plates and Threat Plates IMHO. I'm also not sure about the vengeance status as well, seems a moot point to know about something that is there and working, just my opinion as I have not ever used it and would welcome some feedback.
Last edited by Michultradk; 03-14-2011 at 12:14 PM. Reason: Clarification
OK so basically i was being a little retarded, always nice to know Well iv reforged mostly all extra avoidance into mastery and switched back to gargoyle and it seems my heals/shields seem to have significantly increased. The Rp increase wasnt for DS as the glyph maxes outa t 40% anyways but the extra rune strike i could chuck in incase i did have threat issues but as you pointed out the threat increase from vengeance is enuff to keep me going so no problems there just was worried about the initial burst aggro as when you get mages and locks blowing cd's sometimes it gets abit crazy.
Still cant seem to figure out the deal with DRW is it a viable CD that will actually help you out in a pinch? I tested a spec with it and without it in raids and I cant see it making a difference what views do other people have?

Be careful what you wish for.
An all-Tigers SEC Championship kicks off Saturday afternoon in the Georgia Dome as No. 5 Missouri faces No. 3 Auburn. A national title appearance is on the line if the pathetically slow, boring, and overrated Ohio State Buckeyes lay an egg in the Big 10 championship game.
Gainesville High School, like a lot of top high school teams around the country, has a very loyal alumni fan base.
Georgia and Georgia Tech treated everyone to A Tale of Four Teams Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
Largely because of the high quality of coaching in the Hall County football programs, every week's a test. There are few easy weeks and the team that ends up on top is battle tested and accustomed to playing against tough, well-coached opponents.
Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday. It's uniquely American and without the assorted pressures of Christmas. A time to be grateful for life's many blessings. Family, friends, health, and our wonderful country of opportunity and advancement.
I am thankful for SEC football.
The College Football Playoff ushers in a new era for the sport this year. A blue ribbon panel of 12 individuals - actual people - comprise the College Football Playoff Selection Committee, charged with selecting four teams for a playoff to crown a national champion.

PORT CHARLOTTE, FL.-- A Charlotte County mother says she was the victim of a big mistake.
Last Friday, Brandy Lowe says she was at the Punta Gorda Police station with her 11-year old son for another matter and the next thing she knew, she was in handcuffs.
"They said this is a warrant out for you--and the first thing I said was, this isn't my date of birth, this isn't my height," said Lowe.
Lowe claims the information on the warrant didn't match up--a different height, weight, even birth date for the person cops were after.
Lowe says officers didn't listen and threw her in jail.
"I had to urinate in front of everyone and they did not have no toilet paper," said Lowe.
But four hours later her brother found another Brandy Lowe, in Leesburg, who had been arrested before and could be the lady who has the warrant out for her arrest.
Her information matched what police typed down on the booking sheet.
It appears officers had the wrong woman locked up for nearly 12 hours.
Punta Gorda Police tell WINKNews the warrant they received had all of Brandy Lowe's matching information, including her social security number and even her Charlotte County address.
Lowe was released her after her finger prints did not match up.
Punta Gorda police believe Lowe may have been the victim of identity theft.
Lowe plans to now take legal action.

St. Landry Parish Government wants to fix the roads in the parish but they need the funds to do it.
Right now they're looking for public input. A meeting will be held tonight at Plaisance Elementary school at 7p.m.
During the meeting they'll discuss a rural road improvement program which would be funded by a two cent sales tax collected only in the unincorporated areas of St. Landry Parish. Money would only be used for overlaying roads and related drainage issues. Any new tax would require voter approval. The meeting will be in the cafeteria.

The first F80 M3 and F82 M4 have arrived in Taiwan (in Alpine White, Yas Marina Blue and Austin Yellow) and the cars will have their official launch party on May 27.
It's the battle of the performance coupes as BMW's new M4 takes on the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. Can the M4′s turbocharged 425bhp six-cylinder petrol engine compare to the 6.2-litre V8 of the C63 AMG? Steve Sutcliffe has the keys to both, and he's about to find out.
Here are the first VBOX data recorder results from the first delivered 2014/2015 F80 M3 sedan.
It was able to cover 0-100kmh (62mph) in 4.2 seconds.
Steve Sutcliffe from AutoCar UK reviews the new BMW M3.
The historic Mid-Ohio Raceway roared to life this week with the sound of power, M Power. In an unprecedented show of force, the brand brought together every generation of M3 street and race cars and invited Justin along for the ride. Of course, he couldn't wait to get behind the wheel of the all new 2015 BMW M3 to record some of the first driving impressions on the latest evolution of a legend.
Watch the F80 M3 and F82 M4 being tested on the track, as well as launch control acceleration videos.
Watch this video of the first broken-in F80 M3 as it utilizes its launch control feature for the best possible acceleration.
Part 4 of the Inside BMW M3 / M4 series by M-power.com. This one focuses on the M3/M4′s sound and exhaust system.
Some more updates and new video of the first delivered BMW F80 M3. The video shows the different sounds between the different driving modes – Efficient, Sport and Sport Plus.
We've now added the first tunnel video of the first delivered F80 M3 showcasing the engine and exhaust sounds of the car, as well as a photoshoot gallery.
See updated impressions, photos and videos of the world's first delivered BMW F80 M3.
Congrats to BIMMERPOST member DLSJ5 (Drew) and his ESS VT3 Supercharged E92 M3 for setting the world trap speed record and winning the BIMMERPOST BMW/AMG Shootout Trophy at the Airstrip Attack 5 event.

Unemployed? You're afforded an opportunity to connect with, potentially, your next employer...TODAY!
That's right! WBLK wants to put people in our community to work, while having fun doing it!
In this economy, people are lucky just to have a job.
Which is perhaps why the majority of Americans would pick job security over higher pay, if given the choice.
From 1915 onward, large numbers of African-Americans left agriculture areas in the South to seek better paying jobs in the industrial cities of the North. The industrial boom stimulated by World War 1 and the steel plant in Lackawanna drew African-Americans to Western New York in large numbers.
You should either be very upset with this story or glad you weren't there. Two days ago McDonald's hosted a national hiring day where people come and apply for a job at McDonald's. The goal was to hire 50,000 people nationally in a one day period. In Cleveland Ohio, (at one McDonald's), it was a different story. With the lack of jobs in this economy an opportunity like this would sound like a reason to celebrate, instead it turned into a nightmare.

I have another question for my youngest son. He is a major horse lover and is in a vaulting class (thats gymnastics on horseback). However, we live in a modular home and do not own our own horse. Could he particiapte in the horse activities in 4-H even though he does not own his own?

Liam Arne, a high school student, from Manassas City, Virgina is one of the winners of the Megan Rapinoe Changing the Game contest. Check out Liam's winning entry, where he discusses his experiences with homophobia in sports.
"As a gay former athlete, I identify strongly with Megan Rapinoe's bravery. I admire her for coming out and supporting LGBTQ student athletes through GLSEN's Changing the Game. In school athletics, I have experienced an overpowering sense of homophobia from my not only peers, but also teachers. As I was beginning to discover who I was in middle school, this permeating homophobia and transphobia haunted me on my school's track team and step team, as well as a competitive community swim team and the occasional tennis court. Not a single practice or meet could pass by without at least one member of the team, a team that was supposed to provide me with a comfortable and accepting community, disavow who I was without realizing it. Hateful and prejudicial words and phrases were often used by my teammates. Worst of all, my coaches sanctioned these harmful expressions by using them themselves.
I came to realize that I could never fit in with my teams, just because I am gay. Ultimately, the homophobic gestures of my peers and adult sponsors who were supposed to provide a fun and fair experience made me so uncomfortable that I chose to abandon sports altogether. I am now proud to once again start calling myself a gay athlete since players like Megan Rapinoe and Robbie Rogers have courageously come out, stood up and called for an end to the injustice. No student deserves to cut short their athletic pursuits simply because of homophobia. GLSEN and Megan Rapinoe are taking steps to change that for the future."
Join us in congratulating Liam by posting your Selfie for Sports and tell us what you are doing to Change The Game!
May 1-7, 2013 is National Sports and Physical Education Week. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to announce the winners of the Changing the Game with Megan Rapinoe Contest. As an out LGBT athlete, Megan Rapinoe is an amazing role model for all students and athletes. She serves as an example of someone working to Change the Game both on and off the field. Back in February, we worked together to create a contest to give away some signed Megan Rapinoe & Changing the Game swag and a $500 Nike Gift Card. We received an overwhelming response from student athletes all over the country. As we went through the submissions during the judging process, we kept coming back to one particular student.
"I went through the struggle of dealing with my sexuality throughout my time in High School and I think it's important that schools like mine are better educated and more accepting of LGBT students. I've played soccer my whole life and it is a huge part of who I am today. Before, and especially after Megan Rapinoe decided to publicly come out she has been my role model. I will be forever grateful for her decision to come out because it has truly helped me along with my coming out process."
When we hold a contest, we announce the winner via an email announcement, blog posts, Facebook, Twitter and a press release. We knew there would be attention focused on the winners and wanted to ensure that it would be okay to contact their schools and celebrate their win. The student winning the grand prize was concerned about the attention having a negative impact on their life both inside school and on the soccer field. While they appreciated the gesture, they declined the spotlight. There are many reasons why a young person may not want to disclose their sexual orientation. The National School Climate Survey reports that 63% of LGBT youth do not feel safe at school. It is understandable why a student may second-guess this kind of attention, even when it is in a positive light.
- More than a quarter of LGBT student athletes reported having been harassed or assaulted while playing on a school sports team because of their sexual orientation (27.8%) or gender expression (29.4%).
- More than half of LGBT students who took a P.E. class were bullied or harassed during P.E. because of their sexual orientation (52.8%) or gender expression (50.9%).
- LGBT students commonly avoided athletic spaces at school including locker rooms (39.0%), P.E. classes (32.5%) and school athletic fields and facilities (22.8%) because of feeling unsafe or uncomfortable.
- A vast majority (74.9%) of LGBT students said that they were uncomfortable talking to their P.E. teachers or coaches about LGBT issues.
We would love to announce the grand prizewinner of the Megan Rapinoe for Changing the Game contest… but we can't. At GLSEN, we value safety and respect for students, which means, allowing students the space to come out at their own pace.
Instead of using this opportunity to feature the grand prize winner, we are going to break the silence around LGBT issues in sports by featuring blog posts from other student athletes involved in the Megan Rapinoe for Changing the Game contest in honor of National Sports and Physical Education Week (May 1-7th). We will be bringing you the stories of several student athletes in their own words.
Stay tuned…
This year at GLSEN, we decided it was time that Day of Silence really got into the YouTube scene.
And we're not the only ones. So many of you have been taking to YouTube to raise awareness about Day of Silence and the harassment and violence that LGBT students still face in schools.
Inspired by all of your amazing videos, I started a playlist on the GLSEN YouTube channel collected #DayOfSilence videos from around YouTube. Check 'em out.
What about you? Have you created a video for Day of Silence?
What's better than taking a selfie? Taking a selfie for a good cause!
Your selfies are flowing in on Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, Instagram, and through our website. It's inspiring to see so many people showing their support--showing your support.
I started putting together a slideshow of the selfies (it's playing on the screen in our conference room!)
Do you want to join in?
Grab a sign, take a pic, and share it. You can post it on your own social network and tag it with #DayOfSilence, submit it to our Tumblr, or send it in to us.
We'd love to see it!
Good morning to you all! The Day of Silence is finally here and we're up bright and early with you to make this year a success!
This year, students in every state, the District of Columbia, and nearly 60 countries are participating in events at their school for the Day of Silence!
Don't forget to join the conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #DayOfSilence and following @glsen!
If you encounter any resistance to your participation in Day of Silence, go to http://dayofsilence.org/legalhelp/ to report it.
If you're unsure about whether or not you'll participate in Day of Silence today, we invite you to participate in whatever way feels right for you: not talking at all, remaining silent for a portion of a day, or using your voice to raise awareness of the bullying & harassment LGBT students face.
If you haven't already, please take a moment to register your participation so we can count you in our numbers! Let's make this year the biggest year yet!
Together, we'll keep working until that's a reality!
The Day of Silence is finally here! Are you prepared?
Take the time this afternoon/evening to double check your to-do list with your GSA advisor and/or fellow organizers. Make sure you haven't put anything off until the last minute because once you get to school you will want to be able to hit the ground running in order to make the biggest impact.
Here are some things to remember as you finalize your arrangements for your Day of Silence event:
LIST: Make a to-do list of final tasks and think of people who could take on some of those tasks for you. Get started with the items on this list!
REGISTER: If you haven't already, be sure to CLICK HERE to register your participation in the Day of Silence and be counted among the hundreds of thousands of other students nationwide participating in the Day of Silence.
CONNECT: The night before your event call, email or text all of the people helping you organize to make sure everyone is on the same page. Also make sure to stay connected on social media, like facebook and Twitter!
PRINT: Be sure you have all the materials you need, and extras to hand out, such as: Speaking Cards, Lambda Legal: Freedom to Speak (Or Not) 2013, ACLU: Letter to Principal or Educator, Stickers, and cut, fold, or label these materials as needed.
GATHER: Get all Day of Silence items and materials in one place to ensure that they are clean and organized (shirts, buttons, stickers, pamphlets, speaking cards, posters, etc.)
CHARGE: You want to take pictures, right? Text? Tweet? Make sure your camera, phone and computer batteries are all charged up and ready to go in the morning!
DOUBLE CHECK your to-do list: It never hurts to be extra careful!
REST: You're gonna need it for your exciting day of taking action! We are so excited to hear about how your day goes! Don't forget to post your pictures and thoughts on facebook, Twitter or via e-mail. We love to hear from you.
Have an great and empowering day, Juliann DiNicola
Jeremy goes over your basic rights on the Day of Silence:
1. You DO have a right to participate in Day of Silence and other expressions of your opinion at a public school during non-instructional time: the breaks between classes, before and after the school day, lunchtime, and any other free times during your day. If your principal or a teacher tells you otherwise, you should contact our office or the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network.
2. You do NOT have a right to remain silent during class time if a teacher asks you to speak. If you want to stay quiet during class on Day of Silence, we recommend that you talk with your teachers ahead of time, tell them that you plan to participate in Day of Silence and why it's important to you, and ask them if it would be okay for you to communicate in class on that day in writing. Most teachers will probably say yes.
3. Your school is NOT required to "sponsor" Day of Silence. But Day of Silence is rarely a school-sponsored activity to begin with – it's almost always an activity led by students. So don't be confused – just because your school isn't officially sponsoring or participating in Day of Silence doesn't mean that you can't participate.
4. Students who oppose Day of Silence DO have the right to express their views, too. Like you, they must do so in a civil, peaceful way and they only have a right to do so during non-instructional time. For example, they don't have a right to skip school on Day of Silence without any consequences, just as you don't have a right to skip school just because you don't like what they think or say.
If you feel like your rights have been violated, please report your experiences here.
Are you ready for GLSEN's Day of Silence?
Tomorrow, thousands of students across the country will participate in Day of Silence to highlight the effects of anti-LGBT bullying and harassment in schools.
It's a day of youth empowerment, activism and inspiration!
But don't worry; adults can participate in Day of Silence, too!
Make a Selfie for Silence, like I did.
Then, watch the video below for Quick Tips to support the Day of Silence today and tomorrow, and to make your school more safe and inclusive every day. Together, we can end the silence.
In our last GSA meeting, our principal come in to participate and listen to what our GSA does and what ideas we have for Day of Silence. He was very supportive of our group and of the Day of Silence, and made many of us feel reassured that we could pursue and educate other students and teachers on an issue that has significant meaning to us.
We had the opportunity to ask him a ton of questions, like: "Can we wear Day of Silence gear?" "Can we show a video during the announcements and have discussions about what the students saw?" And, "Do teachers have the right to make students participating in the Day of Silence talk in class that day?"* We were able to show our principal different videos, including the GLSEN video with Wanda Sykes, and he was able to give us more information and insight on what would be allowed in our school for that day.
Our GSA will be creating a formal proposal to give him, but we now know we are allowed to participate in the Day of Silence with the support and confidence of our principal.

*Make sure you know your rights before participating in the Day of Silence
Over the past 4 years attending my high school in the suburbs of New Jersey, I have seen many students and faculty members participate in the Day of Silence. To be honest, when I was in middle school, and even high school, I believed students used this day to just get out of participating in a class that they did not like, but as I learned more about this day, I realized silence signified something so powerful.
In my school, every year a week before the Day of Silence, high school students visit middle school classes to discuss LGBT issues, bullying, and the day of silence itself. This day is called The Day of Acceptance. This past Thursday, I decided to participate in this event, and the response I received from the 8th grade class could not have been more positive. We discussed what it would feel like keeping one's identity a secret, and we also discussed how to not be a bystander when bullying happens, but an up-stander. The ideas and comments that were coming from these 8th graders were so mature and supportive. Because this class was so responsive, we went on to discuss the Day of Silence. I was happy to find out that the middle school already knew about this day and what it meant, and I was also happy to learn that acceptance and maturity about the topic of sexuality has increased since the time I was in middle school, which was not even so long ago.
Although there are not many out students at my school, there are many straight allies, like myself, that are willing to advocate for those voices that could not be heard today. Overall, I think that only good can come out of the Day of Silence. Each year I see more students participating, more students becoming aware of LGBT issues, and more students showing their support. The enthusiasm is spreading, and this year will be my first year participating in the Day of Silence. I have always thought about doing so, and although I am already a senior at my school, it is better late than never.
As a high school senior, I look back on the times at my school, and I am so proud that so many people stay silent throughout this day to signify the silence that many people in the LGBT community, especially teens in high school, are subjected to because of their sexual orientation. Even though I see some students begin to talk toward the end of the day, it just shows how hard it is to be silent. I have spoken to students and faculty about their silence and they all say how difficult it is to not express themselves for just one day. That one day of silence can signify a lifetime in the eyes of someone who is closeted, bullied, or a part of the LGBT community. One day is definitely not too much to ask because just one day of being silent can help and support others around the world to find their voice to speak up.

It is an obssession, a religion that unifies Canadians of every race and colour. It is also Canada's official national winter sport.note Hockey's true origins are uncertain, but the most widely believed story is that the game was created by a group of British colonists settling in Canada who were trying to create a winter version of rugby. Early versions of the game followed many of the offensive rules of rugby (no forward passes, a large number of players on the ice at once) with the goal-scoring of association football. Years later, the forward pass was added and hockey began to form its own identity, while the game began to grow in popularity throughout North America. Before we get to the nitty-gritty, let's go over a few popular misconceptions first. In media, especially from places unfamiliar with the sport, ice hockey is often portrayed as a combination of Professional Wrestling and a pub brawl ON ICE! that's only watched by maple syrup-drinking Canadians who riot whenever they lose. That's... not really the case (for one thing there are a lot of rabid American hockey fans out there, especially in the honourary Canadian provinces of Minnesota, Alaska, and Michigan. For another, riots are atypical.) Although there is a grain of truth, as with all stereotypes:

Unfortunately, hockey is subject to lots of Gretzky Has the Ball in the media, so here's an overview. Ice hockey plays like a smaller version of soccer (score more points than your opponent, etc.), although there are many key differences. Each match lasts 60 minutes, which are further divided into three 20-minute "periods" with a small break between each period.

The place is best categorized as a greasy spoon. Not really a fair label, but it gives you the right vibe. The place is called Maggie's, out in Wayzata. They've been around since I was a kid. You can get anything on their menu, any time they're open. I've never had a bad meal there. I have a few favorites, like their customizable calzones. Mmm! I think you get a pretty good value for the money, but I'll admit I haven't tried everything yet. I'll keep going there and let you know.
re: gildeddawn
Have been there often. A good place, inexpensive for Wayzata.
re: gildeddawn
haven't been there in a while but it's the kind of place that doesn't change. great breakfast (go hash brown and not American fries) Have a cinnamon roll while you are waiting for your order. I'd go more often if their coffee wasn't so forgettable. Avoid Sunday brunch, can't get in the door.

I grew up in a German-American household and have great knowledge of both cultures.
In addition to being bilingual, I was able to sharpen my translation skills at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. Foreign Languages are my passion, and I was able to teach German abroad for a semester at an educational institution in Boeblingen, Germany. Learning a new language should be fun and not seem like a chore. Learning a language is comparable to building blocks - one must have the basics covered to advance to the next step. It is important to recognize weak points and work through them; not skip over them.

I am most interested in tutoring French, as it is the area in which I have the most tutoring experience, but am equally competant in history tutoring. I have helped many lower level French students at my school, and I like to help people in the pursuit of learning a language as I feel it is a very important tool for modern people. I have also helped many students at my high school prepare for, and do well on, IB and AP exams in both the field of history and French.

I have worked in biology research for 6 years in a lab setting. This work focused on human physiology and the biochemistry of inflammatory response.

I was originally recruited to tutor in college by the learning center, due to my grades. I have tutored college, high school and elementary aged students in a variety of subjects (primarily Math, Biology and Physics). I think it's important to help demonstrate problem solving techniques and reasoning methods. Many students feel overwhelmed by certain subject matter and don't know where to begin.

My general teaching style is to go over the material and work out practice problems as we go through it. As we go through practice problems together, I also like to add a few of my own problems on the subject to ensure the tutee understands the process. I also like to do a role reversal and give the tutee a problem and have them teach me how to solve it. I have found over the years that if the tutee can teach it to me with confidence, their confidence in the problem solving and concepts GREATLY increases. Throughout the process, I ask for constant feedback because if the tutee really does not understand, I have no problem re-wording my explanations.

Actress Lisa Morgan is a great supporting player in the sense that, no matter how she's cast, she magnificently supports the interests of theatergoers, directors, fellow actors, and playwrights. Last season she appeared most notably in two shows. As the twittery, resolute mother of the flapper Sally Bowles in New Theatre's I Am a Camera, Morgan's onstage time clocked in at less than fifteen minutes. Nonetheless from her first entrance, she carried a universe of subtext with her. On a larger scale, Morgan's ensemble role in One Flea Spare, also at New Theatre, demonstrated her ability to hoist an entire play, even one as prickly, poetic, impressionistic, and director-driven as this Obie winner. Courageous and inventive, she consistently reaches into dangerous territory with her acting, leaving safer routes for less-daring performers. And that's always a thrill to watch.

Movie review: Laughing at old age in low-key 'Land Ho!'
If you missed your chance of getting away for summer vacation, the low-key comedy "Land Ho!" is a great way to see the sights of Iceland with some charming traveling companions.
The tourists in question here are Mitch (Earl Lynn Nelson), a retired Kentucky surgeon, and Colin (Paul Eenhoorn), a bank manager originally from Australia. Colin's deceased first wife and Mitch's ex-wife were sisters — and that, and their gray hair, is nearly all the two men have in common. Mitch is rambunctious and profane, Colin more reserved and quiet.
When they meet for the first time in years, Mitch surprises Colin with news that he has booked them first-class plane tickets to Iceland. And soon these 60-ish guys are off to see geysers, bask in hot springs, walk on black sandy beaches and have a good time.
In Reykjavik, the men meet up with Mitch's 20-something cousin — "first cousin once removed," Mitch insists — Ellen (Karrie Crouse) and her friend Janet (Elizabeth McKee), both Ph.D. candidates at Columbia. They go out on the town, hitting clubs where Mitch aims to get his groove on, even though he and Colin are double the median age of the rest of the partygoers.
Mitch and Colin banter throughout the journey, trading movie trivia and family memories. As they get deeper into the journey, tempers occasionally flare — nothing serious, mind you, just the minor grumbles of two men who are old enough not to put up with petty annoyances.
Ultimately, Mitch is determined to show Colin, whose second marriage recently ended in divorce, a good time. "Don't get that Sunday afternoon attitude," Mitch tells Colin. "Good times are still a-comin'!"
That devil-may-care attitude permeates "Land Ho!," as filmmakers Martha Stephens and Aaron Katz, who co-wrote and co-directed, largely set Mitch and Colin on their way and follow the fun. Small adventures pop up along the way, and Nelson (who actually is a former surgeon, and Stephens' real-life cousin) and Eenhoorn (who starred in the 2013 Sundance Film Festival hit "This Is Martin Bonner") are given space to let their characters blossom.
(Side note: "Land Ho!" is the first film out of the gate for Gamechanger Films, the production company recently launched by Utah Film Center founder Geralyn Dreyfous and her business partner, Dan Cogan, to support narrative works by female filmmakers.)
"Land Ho!" delights because it isn't trying to make too much of itself. It's simply a fun movie about two guys who will admit they're getting older, but are damn sure not getting old.

The Danish Frogman Corps (Danish: Frømandskorpset) is an elite commando frogman corps of the Royal Danish Navy.
This corps was set up on June 17, 1957 based on the model of the British SBS. Initially it was under the Danish Navy's Diving School at Flådestation Holmen (Naval Station Holmen, Copenhagen), but in 1970 it was made an independent unit, operationally under the submarine squadron.
21st century[edit]
Today the Danish Frogman Corps is directly under the Danish Navy's Operational Command. They are an elite unit of professional divers and commandos.
The Frogman Corps' primary duty is reconnaissance, but it is also tasked with assaulting enemy ships, sabotage of fixed installations, advanced force and maritime anti-terrorism tasks.
It performs special operations work on land also, including anti-terrorism and anti-criminal work. The Corps supports the police with clearing up criminal matters that demand highly specialised diving. Also, local authorities, etc. can benefit from the frogmen's skills, for example when underwater installations must be inspected.
The Danish Frogman Corps trains at the Torpedo Station at Kongsøre and works through a long series of courses, e.g.:
- Combat swimmer course for three weeks
- Advanced scuba diving course
- Rescue swimmer course
- Survival course
The basic Frogman Course is nine months. Each year 500-600 applicants start the course and less than a dozen complete all nine months.
Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark completed his education in this corps, under the nom de guerre "Pingo".
Presence in Danish society[edit]
The Danish Frogman Corps policy is to remain unknown. Therefore, most of their missions are completed in secrecy, and most details about what gear they use and how they operate are highly classified. Members of the Frogman corps are classified as Top Secret (Yderst Hemmelig) and their identities are hidden to the best of their ability.
Despite their efforts, The Danish Frogman Corps is very well known for photos and videos that have been shared around social networks, including Reddit, Tumblr and others. One of the more well known images is a photo taken after a military exercise.
