His free agency signings this year are pitiful. The worst I've seen in my years following this team.
I have no problem showing him the door but Stephen Ross is not exactly mr decisive
When death smiles upon you, the Infantry man smiles back. WV says Im not a patriot and Jeff Ireland is a Boss so it must be true.
I wouldn't trust our GM to valet my car! He ****ing sucks at life!
The above post is not subject to penalty under the TOS I declare the Hayden Fox defense. " It is impossible for the staff to know my context therefore I cannot be penalized"
The tendency is to examine the team's current holes and say yes but if we just pick up players at this position and this position, we are actually competing and possibly winning this game.
But that's why you have to look at the history. It's the holes you DON'T anticipate that kill you, and this front office continually fails to anticipate roster problems. And that's if they're not flat out creating them, consciously (see WR and CB).

Comment on Amish and the public by Karen Hatfield.
Amish having no health insurance has always been an interesting point to me. Mainly because I know just how expensive health care can be. My son recently spent 5 days in the hospital having his vp shunt revised and the hospital bill was over $80,000 (usually it is just a 1 to 2 night stay). I am very happy to have health insurance! While our community has been helpful – they did a benefit for us right after Isaac was diagnosed with cancer – it wouldn't even make a dent in the medical bills if we didn't have insurance. I have admiration that the Amish are able to raise the funds themselves for their medical care.
Thank you for providng the address Eric (and Magdalena for asking). I pray this little boy gets the surgery he needs soon.

FP's Situation Report: U.S. quietly imposes more sanctions on Russia
Crimea crisis awakens an anemic NATO; Egypt's Gen. Sisi throws his hat in the ring; Petty Officer Mayo was a hero; Why will 1,892 flags to be planted on the Mall today?; and a bit more.
The U.S. has slapped Russia without anyone really knowing about it. FP's Jamila Trindle with this exclusive: "While the Obama administration has touted U.S. efforts to isolate Russia economically and diplomatically, it has quietly found another way to slap Moscow for its annexation of Crimea. Nearly a month ago, with no public notice, a small office in the Commerce Department abruptly stopped approving applications from U.S. firms that want to sell Russia potentially dangerous products.
"The Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) suspended a raft of pending deals with Russia on March 1, just a day after Moscow sent troops streaming into Ukraine. The office didn't disclose the move until this week, when it posted an oblique notice on its website. The suspension has not been previously reported. 'Since March 1, 2014, BIS has placed a hold on the issuance of licenses that would authorize the export or re-export of items to Russia,' the notice says. 'BIS will continue this practice until further notice.'
"In 2013, BIS approved 1,832 export contracts to Russia for so-called dual use products like lasers and explosives, according to the bureau's annual report. The deals were worth roughly $1.5 billion, $800 million of which was for devices cryptically described as 'designed to initiate an energetic charge.'" More here.
Ouch: Obama calls Russia a "regional power" acting out of weakness. The WaPo's Scott Wilson with the President in Brussels: "President Obama acknowledged Tuesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin's annexation of Crimea would be difficult to reverse, but he dismissed Russia as a 'regional power' that did not pose a leading security threat to the United States." Obama: "Russia is a regional power that is threatening some of its immediate neighbors - not out of strength but out of weakness... They don't pose the number one national security threat to the United States... I continue to be much more concerned when it comes to our security with the prospect of a nuclear weapon going off in Manhattan." More here.
Cuts to NATO makes it ill-prepared to deter Russia. The NYT's Helene Cooper and Steven Erlanger: "President Obama and European leaders pledged Wednesday to bolster the NATO alliance and vowed that Russia would not be allowed to run roughshod over its neighbors. But the military reality on the ground in Europe tells a different story. The United States, by far the most powerful NATO member, has drastically cut back its European forces from a decade ago. European countries, which have always lagged far behind the United States in military might, have struggled and largely failed to come up with additional military spending at a time of economic anemia and budget cuts.
"During the height of the Cold War, United States troops in Europe numbered around 400,000, a combat-ready force designed to quickly deploy and defend Western Europe - particularly what was then West Germany - against a potential Soviet advance.
Today there are about 67,000 American troops in Europe, including 40,000 in Germany, with the rest scattered mostly in Italy and Britain. The Air Force has some 130 fighter jets, 12 refueling planes and 30 cargo aircraft. At the end of the Cold War in the early 1990s, it had 800 aircraft in Europe."
But read my lips: "... Even if Russia moves into eastern Ukraine, senior administration officials said, there should be absolutely no expectation that American troops would head to Kiev. 'The American people are not going to war with Russia over Ukraine, full stop,' a senior administration official said, echoing public comments by Mr. Obama. Read the rest of the story here.
Noting - while there have been drawdowns of U.S. troops in Europe in recent years - there were about 100 troops stationed in Europe in 1990 - the current number of about 67,000 isn't expected to drop any further, Situation Report was told. And while the services, in particular the Army, will be shrinking, we were told that shouldn't have any long-term affect on the number of people permanently assigned to U.S. European Command.
Forget the pivot to Asia - now it's the pivot (back) to Europe. John Deni in The National Interest: "...In the meantime, the United States should consider a number of other moves designed to reassure nervous American allies in Eastern Europe, deter the Russians from further adventurism, and signal to authorities in Moscow that the days of accommodating its boorish behavior are over. Augmenting the U.S. contribution to the Baltic air-policing mission and immediately increasing what has been an occasional, short-term U.S. Air Force presence in Poland have been welcome steps along these lines, but Washington and its allies should consider going further." More on that one here.
Is Putin untouchable? Maybe not. US News & World Report's Paul Shinkman: "...some observers question whether the former KGB officer is untouchable. And many prominent national security leaders who forged their careers during the Cold War say the White House's approach is a grave mistake. A group of such officials, including a former director of the CIA and NSA, released an open letter last week calling on Obama to, as they said, "impose real costs on the government of President Vladimir Putin," to include targeted sanctions against the man himself. The current sanctions, levied against former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych as well as Putin's chief advisers and political allies, freeze overseas bank accounts and restrict travel abroad." More here.
Hagel and the U.K.'s Hammond appeared at the Pentagon yesterday. Hagel: "In my conversations with [Russian Defense] Minister Shoygu last week, I asked him specifically why the Russians were building up their western border and I asked him specifically what the intentions were as to that build up. He told me that they had no intention of crossing the border into Ukraine. I told him that we looked forward to the Russians living up to their word, if that was the case. But the reality is, they continue to build up their forces. So they need to make sure that they stay committed to what Minister Shoygu told me."
U.K.'s Secretary of State for Defense Hammond, wondering if Russian Defense Minister Shoygu is even in Putin's inner circle: "I think what I said this morning was that all the evidence suggests that the Russian agenda is being very much run by President Putin personally. And other Russian players, including Minister Shoygu, may express views, but it's a moot point, and we cannot know, we do not know to what extent all of those people are really inside the inner circle in which President Putin is planning this exercise."

The event starts on the Mall today at 10. Deets here.
Petty Officer Mayo was a hero, the Navy says. The Navy identified the sailor in Norfolk who was killed during a shooting aboard the USS Mahan at Pier 1 at Naval Station Norfolk late Monday night. He was Master-at-Arms 2nd Class Mark A. Mayo, 24, who was a Hagerstown, Md. native and enlisted in the Navy in Oct. 2007. But he died a hero, Navy officials said. According to the Navy, the suspect in the shooting "approached the Mahan's quarterdeck and was confronted by the ship's petty officer of the watch. A struggle occurred and the suspect was able to disarm the Sailor. Mayo, serving as the chief-of-the-guard, rendered assistance after seeing the suspect board the ship. Mayo put himself between the gunman and the petty officer of the watch and as a result was fatally wounded."
From a statement from Capt. Robert Clark, Jr., commanding officer at Norfolk: "Petty Officer Mayo's actions on Monday evening were nothing less than heroic. He selflessly gave his own life to ensure the safety of the Sailors on board USS Mahan... Petty Officer Mayo's family has endured a tremendous loss, as have the men and women of Naval Station Norfolk, in the loss of a shipmate and friend."
FYI, the U.S. is losing its edge over China and here's how to get it back. Randy Forbes (the Virginia Republican) and CNAS' Elbridge Colby, writing in The National Interest: "A flurry of recent statements by senior Defense Department officials has thrown a bright but cold light on a reality that Washington has yet to grapple with: that America's edge in military technology and the balance of military power in the Asia-Pacific writ large is under serious and growing pressure from China's military-modernization efforts...We believe Admiral Locklear, Under Secretary Kendall, and General Dempsey should be commended for sounding the alarm because they are right that the military balance in the Asia-Pacific-and especially our edge in technology and its exploitation, the true source of our military advantage in recent decades-is eroding." More here.
Egypt's al-Sisi has announced he's running for president and he may just win. BBC's Orla Guerin in an analysis on the development: "In a widely expected announcement, he said on state TV he was appearing 'in my military uniform for the last time'. Field Marshal Sisi led the overthrow of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in July after mass opposition protests. Correspondents say he is likely to win the presidency, given his popularity and the lack of any serious rivals. "To his supporters, the 59-year-old former army chief is a saviour who can end the political turmoil dogging Egypt since 2011 when a popular uprising ended Hosni Mubarak's three decades of one-man rule. But his opponents hold him responsible for what human rights groups say are widespread abuses, and fear that he wants a return to authoritarianism." More here.
The Pentagon has "quietly shaved" billions of dollars from troops' total compensation package. Military Times' Andrew Tilghman: "With no fanfare or controversy, the Pentagon has quietly shaved several billion dollars from troops' total compensation in recent years as the flow of cash benefits known as special pays and incentive pays has slowed dramatically. That decline, which amounts to a collective cut in disposable income for the force, is not the result of a Pentagon policy change or a new law from Congress, but rather is driven by broader changes affecting the military community. For example, fewer wartime deployments mean less hostile fire pay, while a slow economy translates into fewer, and smaller, retention bonuses."
Joyce Raezer, executive director of the National Military Family Association to Tilghman: "We don't feel that the Defense Department looked at this holistically. ... They looked at special pays in a stovepipe. They looked at the commissary in a stovepipe. They looked at health care in a stovepipe... They didn't bother to add up across all of those things, what the actual monetary impact would be on average military families." More here.
The Pentagon's search for "cheap stealth" - hiding war-fighting gear on the sea bottom. Time's Mark Thompson: " The Navy's endless push to build cheaper ships alarmed Rep. Pete Visclosky, D-Ind., at a House hearing Tuesday. 'You mention that we're hitting a cost target,' he told the Navy brass about one class of vessels. 'But if the ship's not survivable, I don't care if I meet my cost target if it's in the bottom of the ocean.' Bingo! That's exactly where the Pentagon is looking to build underwater mini-depots for the U.S. Navy. In fact, only hours after Visclosky grumbled about sunken ships sitting on the bottom of the ocean, the Pentagon said it's moving closer to making that cold and forbidding place a base for U.S. military hardware. It's planning to test the concept in the Western Pacific, conveniently close to China, starting next year." Read the rest of that bit here.

A quick roundup on a story that has dominated national headlines since Monday evening and resulted in two consecutive days now of protests in Denver, Colorado Springs, and elsewhere–CNN:
Like Ferguson, outrage over the grand jury's decision escalated from coast to coast, with protests in about 170 cities nationwide.
From New York to Los Angeles and dozens and dozens of cities in between, protesters flooded the streets to denounce the grand jury's decision. Some demonstrations blocked bridges, tunnels and major highways. But the protests were largely peaceful.
"They have given us no justice! We will give them no peace," protesters chanted as they massed in front of the Underground Atlanta shopping mall.
In the New York area, they briefly blocked one of the entrances to the Lincoln Tunnel.
As the Denver Post's Anthony Cotton reports, protests yesterday evening downtown almost got out of hand, with a handful of protesters arrested, but overall stayed peaceful and law-abiding:
Besides the Brown protest, there were banners decrying the July shooting death of Ryan Ronquillo. And after an hour of marching, the protesters ended up at the front doors of the Denver jail, where they repeatedly shouted, "Marvin Booker, Marvin Booker," recalling the inmate who died at the facility in 2010…
Although there were no obvious signs of discord, things did get a bit tense when three armed sheriff's deputies, perhaps disquieted by the size of the gathering, stood on alert just inside the front doors of the jail.
Organizers had planned for the march to conclude at the jail, but a large group continued the protest, moving west on West Colfax Avenue and blocking the viaduct over Interstate 25…[p]olice formed a line to prevent protesters from moving onto the interstate about 8:10 p.m.
The Colorado Springs Gazette reports a robust protest there Tuesday:
Hundreds of protesters, chanting "Hands up, don't shoot" and "Whose streets? Our streets," marched through downtown Colorado Springs on Tuesday, demanding police reform after a grand jury opted not to indict a white police officer who fatally shot a black teen in Ferguson, Mo…
Clutching a megaphone while blocking Cascade Avenue, Trina Reynolds-Tyler, a Colorado College senior, read a list of demands from FergusonAction.com, which has often helped support protests in Missouri.
Among the demands: Police departments nationwide need to stop using military equipment and weaponry and a U.S. Department of Justice review on racially biased policing across the nation. She said money going to law enforcement needs to be redirected toward community-based alternatives to incarceration.
Other events around the state related to the protests over the police shooting of Ferguson, Missouri teenager Michael Brown included an apropos forum on race relations in Boulder and a protest in Pueblo organized by the Colorado Progressive Coalition. Also fueling debate locally over police violence and race relations is a new report from Rocky Mountain PBS I-News highlighting racial disparity in Denver police shootings:
At a time when the shooting death of an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri, has brought tensions between police and minority communities to the forefront, Rocky Mountain PBS I-News has found that racial disparities persist in police shootings in Denver.
Seven of the 33 people shot by Denver police and sheriff's deputies in the past five years were African American, according to data collected by the Office of the Independent Monitor, a city watchdog. That's about 21 percent, compared with an overall black population in Denver of 9.7 percent during roughly the same period, according to Census data.
Thirteen of those shot between 2009 and 2013 were Latino, and 12 were white. That means about 39 percent of the shootings involved Latinos, who comprise 32 percent of the population, while 36 percent involved whites, who account for 52 percent of the population.
Whether we like it or not, this is an issue that we need to be talking about in Colorado. So, please do.

How the Other Half Loves Bob Phillips's shoe is in the wastebasket. Taken for granted, his wife, Theresa, is slovenly and edgy. Their baby is covered with prunes and honey. Frank Foster, Bob's boss, has settled into a predictable married routine. Frank's neglected wife, Fiona, finds excitement by having an affair with Bob. To deflect suspicion, Fiona creates a tale that draws in Frank and Bob's dull co-worker, William Detweiler, and his mousy wife, Mary. These three couples collide in wonderfully theatrical ways because their farce is played out on one set that depicts the Phillips and Foster homes. Divided right down the middle, we watch simultaneous action in each place. In one of the great scenes in all English comedy, two disastrous dinner parties — the Detweilers at the Phillipses, and the Detweilers at the Fosters — take place on two different nights but occur at the same time. This masterful playing with stage time and space is the hallmark of prolific English playwright Alan Ayckbourn (Absurd Person Singular, The Norman Conquests, Bedroom Farce, Communicating Doors, House & Garden, My Wonderful Day, among the 78 he's written so far). This farce from 1969, with its dizzying sleight-of-hand stagecraft, spins with glee yet throws off dark sparks amid the laughs. Theatre Southwest's sterling production sets off its own sparks, thanks to a splendid ensemble cast whirling under David Hymel's spirited direction. The characters aren't deep or drawn with any sort of insight — this is classic farce, after all, and unbridled, preposterous situations rule — but the cast takes these one-note caricatures and gives them a real semblance of life. Scott Holmes, as clueless Frank — "there isn't much that escapes me," he says as evidence of Fiona's infidelity sails completely over his head — sputters with pompous import. Holmes turns obtuseness into fine art. Crys Hymel, as philandering Fiona, has a lovely way of arching her eyebrows just so, as if she can twist the truth with a glance whenever Frank's prying questions get too close. Brian Heaton, as Fiona's boy toy, plays him both dangerous and foolish. Spoiled and conceited, he tries to rule his little kingdom with macho bluster and charm and almost gets away with it. He butts heads with a matchless Autumn Woods, as Theresa, who's unfulfilled and swamped by the lack of domestic bliss. She shows us the stirrings beneath Theresa's strident outbursts, guessing almost from the start that Bob is up to no good. As with Stanley and Stella, their fights are forgiven, if not forgotten, in the bedroom. As the boring Detweilers, Scott McWhirter and Michelle Drake Wilson bring a spry touch to their comic timing. The double dinner party is the highpoint, as they pingpong between the out-of-control tag team of the Phillipses and the infuriatingly polite Fosters. Controlling and inflexible, William gets his deserved comeuppance when doormat Mary finally has had enough of his bullying. A little slap to his hand instantly deflates him. It's a lovely moment, and we laugh at how easy, and how satisfying, it is for Mary to finally take the reins. All three couples are a bit different by the end of the play. Whether it's for the best is something Ayckbourn teasingly leaves up in the air. Ayckbourn is master enough to know when to tickle and when to prick. Theatre Southwest's fine production knows how to do both also. Through January 18. 8944-A Clarkcrest, 713-661-9505. — DLG
A Raisin in the Sun Lorraine Hansberry's acclaimed play opened on Broadway in 1959 and chronicles how an African-American family purchases a house in a white neighborhood while a neighborhood association attempts to persuade them not to occupy it. This is a domestic drama, laced with humor, with cleanly drawn characterizations of a loving family, though bickering sometimes blots out affection. Terri Renee White is excellent as matriarch Lena Younger, conveying her moral fiber and a keen sense of permitting her two children to develop in their own fashion. Her daughter-in-law, Ruth, is portrayed by Tamekia Jackson, who finds her inner strength and endurance. Monique Holmes plays the daughter, Beneatha, struggling to find her identity, and captures her vibrant youth and openness to change. Her grandson Travis is played by Santana Draper, who brings charm and energy to the youthful role. Lena's son, Walter, is played by Jeff Brown, who has the most complex and difficult role, since Walter is a dreamer, but an acquisitive one, and is self-pitying, bitter and less responsible than he might be. Beneatha has two suitors, George Murchinson (Andrew Barrett), from a well-to-do African-American family, and Joseph Asagai (Atseko Factor), from Nigeria. Barrett captures the preppy look of an assimilated youth, while Factor conveys a sense of idealism and makes idealism look like fun — this is an actor to be watched. Devan Callihan plays Bobo, an acquaintance of Walter's, and is persuasive in his brief appearance. The only white character is Karl Lindner (Reid Self), head of a "welcoming" committee from the landowners association, played as a parody rather than a character. The work is directed by Sedric Willis, who has delivered on the inter-family dynamics and finds the heart and appeal in their aspirations.Through February 2.

Evelyn Lozada and Chad Johnson: It's OVER!by Free Britney at . Comments
Evelyn Lozada has filed to divorce Chad Johnson, not even six weeks after they got married. She filed legal documents just moments ago in Florida.
Caiming her marriage is "irretrievably broken," Evelyn was clearly motivated by the fight this weekend that led to her man's domestic violence arrest.
Even before the fight went nuclear - he's accused of head-butting her (listen to the Chad Johnson 911 call here) - the union was on shaky ground.
Lozada allegedly found a receipt for condoms in the duo's car and flew off the handle, resulting in an altercation that landed the football player behind bars.
There was no coming to his defense afterward, either. Instead, Evelyn Lozada ripped him in the media for not taking responsibility for his actions.
According to the divorce documents, the couple had a prenuptial agreement in place. Good thing for Johnson, as he's also out of an NFL job now.
Evelyn and Chad got married in St. Maarten in July 4, with the wedding filmed for their VH1 reality show ... which was canceled before it even aired.
The only person with reason to smile now? Kim Kardashian. Compared to Ev & Ocho, her marriage looks like a long-lasting, non-violent success.

@Renee you dumb racist trash ! Who says stupid shit like that in the year 2012 ??? Please go back to 1953 when it was cool to be racist and ignorant and take all the racist trash with you because it's embarassing to have yall living in 2012 !
why will a man hit a woman? most men are cowards
I read where he said that SHE headbutted him.....after watching her on tv, I would agree with that.
I feel sorry for him.....she is a mean drunk and a gold digger..... He's an idiot not to see that, though.....
@Renee, shut the fuck up! There are so many beautiful black women all around..
Because most hispanic women are BEAUTIFUL compared to a black or white woman... I wouldnt want my child to have nappy hair either!!
Oh heck no! You don't beat on your woman. He don't deserve to have no job now. And BTW to Mvzee...she's white??? I didn't thinks she looked white. I'm mixed all up now.
She may have known what she was gettig when she married him, and she may have over-reacted about the condoms, BUT....no man should lay a hand on a woman. He is getting what he deserved. I hope he learns from his mistakes. It's a shame to throw it all away like that.
Its simply sad how we continue to glorified this kind of behavior. Reality TV has become the new best entertainment. I am not surprised their marriage came to an end...I'm shocked it lasted this long. In one of the episodes of BWs she said she had no problems of him sleeping with someone as longs as he was upfront with her. He has been consistent since the begining of their relationship. Why is she upset that she found comdems receipts in his car. She knew what type of man she married and already gave him the okay. I don't feel sorry for her playing the victim and using this situation to capitalize for greed and money. No one will really know what happen only the two involved. I'm not taking anyone side but I believe man should never put his hands on a women get sister to do work..
Dang Chad......you didn't know...??... she had caught more BALLS THAN YOU...WOW..AND YOU MARRIED THAT TRICK NOW UR ALL F** CKED UP

As we head towards a new year, as the holidays slip by, as we face another dreary winter ahead, it's not a bad time to suggest that we get what we pay for.
We have recession and depression.
Some ideas seem good when you first hear them, but they lose their gloss upon more sober consideration.
Like the gift of a dusting of snow right before Christmas, the story this week about a dachshund rescue wasn't in competition with the presidential race, or the economy or the treason trial as top news story.
It took them a while to get to the point, but the Great Bend City Council kept at it Monday night - despite the impending severe weather threat - to accomplish what was in the best interest of city employees.
This week the Barton County Commissioners approved plans to offer pins and other items to show appreciation for the work that county staffers do, and when that is being considered in a vacuum it may not seem all that important.
Man, that's scary!
If you want to get American women of "a certain age" mad at you, just suggest to them that the movie "Pretty Woman" is not appropriate, and that the prostitute-turned-wife fairy tale glamorizes a form of slavery.
There are all sorts of hackneyed references you could fall prey to.
When you went to school years ago, all of the male teachers, even the coaches, unless they were actually out in the field, wore a shirt and tie.
We hear about it every year, the people who get upset with the rules on a passenger jet and act like a jackass at 30,000 feet and 500 mph.
Earlier this year, a Barton County Health Department worker who has helped increase the rate of children's immunization protection in Barton County was recognized by the Barton County Commission as the recipient of an Employee Recognition. WIC Clerk Pamela Luna was active in the Kansas Immunization Dare To Be A Champion and through her efforts, the county saw an increase in immunization rates from 76 to 80 percent, according to information from the Health Department.
Great Bend City Council members' support for a coming outdoors event was a good decision, and it also helped to show it takes more than just your run-of-the-mill conventions to make a community a success.
It's very easy these days to find a pathetic story and tsk,tsk over the miscreants involved.
Many of us can remember the ad campaigns from Colt firearms.
We have a lot of blessings to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. There are gas prices that are among the lowest in the country and an economy that is showing signs of recovery.
The possibility that the State of Kansas could rob highway project funds to solve the state's fiscal crisis has come up at recent Barton County Commission meetings. Local officials are worried about work that is promised to the area but that now may be delayed if not cancelled.
Barton Community College officials voted on bids as quickly as they could, but there was no way to rebuild the dining hall at BCC's Camp Aldrcih before June 1, 2015. So, the popular venue for weddings, camps and other business or social gatherings will remain closed for another summer, due to the fire that destroyed the dining hall last April.
The political polls that indicated that Gov. Sam Brownback would surely lose and U.S. Senator Pat Roberts re-election campaign was in trouble proved to be a joke.
On Friday, Great Bend Street Department personnel began installing bicycle awareness signs along what will become the city's first bike route. It follows 19th Street west to McKinley and McKinley south to the Sports Complex.
It was kind of exciting to post "I survived the Kansas earthquake of Nov. 12, 2014," on Facebook and Twitter, but it turns out earthquakes are becoming rather common in the Wheat State.

Area organization tops $2 million mark
The Community Foundation of Northwest Mississippi recently met its goal of raising $350,000 for the Endowment for the Future of Northwest Mississippi, which will be combined with an additional 500-percent match through combined challenge grants from the W.K.

One of the most iconic religious leaders has roots right here in North Carolina. A one-of-a-kind library that chronicles his accomplishments is here as well. The Billy Graham Library is said to be unlike any other public building in the world. Come to learn about the library and the iconic man behind it… Billy Graham.
The Billy Graham Library Is…
The Billy Graham Library is a 40,000-square-foot exceptional library that houses the details and artifacts and history of one exceptional religious leader, Mr. Billy Graham. Known as"America's Pastor", visitors are able to come to know Graham through the various books, videos, presentations and materials that are interwoven into the life and legacy of Graham.
Billy Graham
From humble beginnings to international appeal, Billy Graham grew up as an dairy farmer's son to become one of the most prominent individuals in the Christian religion. Graham has met and prayed with and over Presidents, kings, queens, celebrities, and everyday men, women, and children. Whether he be in the far east or right here in the Carolinas… the question seems to remains the same, so says Graham; folks continue to ask: "Is there any hope for the future", Graham says. He always replies;"Yes, through Jesus Christ." Through over five decades of ministry, Graham has been able to bring the teachings and messages of Jesus Christ to the masses. Graham has been able to reach out to more than 215 million people in over 185 countries around the world. Despite ailing health and progressive age, Graham is still seen as an iconic world leader when it comes to understanding the messages hope, faith and love. He continues to spread those messages and has devoted his life to the principle that God loves each and every one of us and that love is everlasting.
To Make The Most of Your Visit…
Be prepared for an enthralling, educational and enlightening experience like no other. A wealth of knowledge and understanding awaits you! There are a few tips that make your visit to the library fun and exceptional:
-The library is open Monday – Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It is closed on Sunday.
-Guests who choose to tour the Library, Homeplace, and Memorial Prayer Garden should allow at least 1½ to 2 hours for the visit. It is highly recommended that comfortable shoes be apart of your attire.
-Strollers and wheelchairs are NOT provided.
-Food and bookstore merchandise are available at posted prices; however, the prices do not include N.C. state sales tax. Personal checks, American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa as well as cash are all accepted.
-Cameras are permitted in the exhibit areas, but you will be asked to refrain from flash photography.
-Donation boxes align the library but admission is absolutely free.
-Smoking, alcoholic beverages, and firearms are not permitted on the property.
-Pets are not allowed, unless there are service dogs that are there to help the visually impaired.
The History of the Library
Billy Graham was, at first against the idea of a library bearing his name. He was reportedly so adamant that he found that anything that would detract from the message he has preached for decades would do more harm than good. The concept of the library was then described as an institution that would continue his message and chronicle his crusades for generations to come; he later reportedly reconsidered. In accordance with In line with Mr. Graham's wishes, the library brings the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the forefront and visitors are able to see, firsthand how Graham has been able to transform lives through his teachings and his belief in love, hope, faith and spiritual endurance through the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Plans for the Library were announced on April 23, 2005, at the BGEA headquarters; the groundbreaking ceremony took place in August of that year.Although theLibrary complex includes Billy Graham's childhood home, built in 1927 on their dairy farm about 3 miles away from the library, it is not to be considered a museum. Since its opening, more than 420,000 visitors have visited the library.
Throughout the year, a plethora of events ranging from "Christmas At the Library" to "Bikers With Boxes Charity Ride" are held. The events provide fellowship, opportunities to serve and memorable experiences shared with others through the journeys of life. Inspirational exhibits are also apart of the the events of the Billy Graham Library. Each provides encouragement and an opportunity to learn and reach new depths of personal growth.
Ruth's Attic's Bookstore
Named to honor Ruth Bell Graham's lifelong love of the printed word, Ruth's Attic's Bookstore houses books that uplift the human spirit. They also are books written with encouragement, inspiration and enlightenment. Steeped in the teachings of Christianity and Jesus Christ, the bookstore also includes supplemental materials, spiritual DVDs, CDs, worship music and various apparel.
Ongoing Support
Three meaningful and poignant ways are seen as support for the library: donations, prayer and volunteerism. Although each is quite different, each allows service, stewardship and an opportunity to help change the lives of others. Through donations, the library is able to allow visitors to see, firsthand the message of Graham and the impact his message has had on the world. Through volunteering, individuals are able to serve and assist others… one of the principles Graham has based his life around. Through the power of prayer, the message of the Gospel can be transported to all whom enter the library. Each of us is on a journey to achieve greatness; the Billy Graham Library reminds us that through that journey, we are equipped for what the days and hours provide through challenges as well as triumphs. The Billy Graham Library serves as a places for spiritual resources, light and hope as we each continue…step by step to gain spiritual momentum in life.

text: Bob Schneider is the Energizer Bunny of the music business. Not only does he tour almost continuously year after year, hes got so many musical avenues that he manages to constantly change up his show. Schneider can shift from rapper to singer-songwriter in less than a drumbeat, and he can lay on the funk or rock like Bob Seger when the mood strikes. (He counts Queen, Prince and the Police as influences, with a bit of Earth, Wind & Fire thrown in for good measure.) Those eclectic qualities have led him to open national tours for acts as different as the Dave Matthews Band and the Dixie Chicks. In spite of his widespread national success, Schneider continues to bring his music to small clubs and intimate venues like McGonigels Mucky Duck.

November 28, 2014
Prosecutors are urging the Nevada Supreme Court to deny O.J. Simpson a rehearing of the appeal of the former football star's armed robbery and kidnapping conviction.
Clark County District Attorney David Roger said in a filing Monday that the court should deny the request because Simpson had a fair and legal trial.
The Nevada Supreme Court asked prosecutors last month to respond to a request from Simpson's lawyers for a rehearing of an appeal.
The court in October upheld Simpson's 2008 conviction stemming from a gunpoint robbery in a Las Vegas hotel room.
Simpson's lawyers claim Simpson lacked the necessary intent to commit a crime, that the last two black prospective jurors were dismissed without proper cause, and that jurors weren't completely screened for bias.

Just what are you looking at when you flip over your Tissot or Swiss Army watch and peer through the case back crystal at that ETA automatic? It's time to learn. We break down the parts of an ETA automatic watch movement.
Breaking Down an ETA Watch Movement
How Does an Automatic Watch Movement Work?
Pulling the Plug
Opinion: Is Swiss Watch Movement Maker ETA Cutting Off the Competition or Improving the Breed?
Swiss watch movement maker ETA supplies much of the horological world with movements and ébauches (partial movements in need of finishing). Then in 2002 Nicholas Hayek, then chairman of The Swatch Group (ETA's parent company), announced that ETA would soon begin tapering back the supply of ébauches to the world of Swiss watchmaking beyond their sister brands. Effectively, the Swatch Group decided to stop selling to the competition, albeit gradually. The uproar was tremendous.

Timekeeping: The Importance of In-House
When most people start getting interested in timepieces, the first thing that usually attracts them is the appearance. A distinctive dial, a unique case shape, even a nice strap can draw in the uninitiated. Then they notice watches whose hands sweep smoothly, driven by springs and gears versus the tick-tick that gives away battery driven…

Adam Rosales Rumors
Rangers Notes: Lewis, Bridwell, Rosales
It's definitely not the race the Rangers hoped to be leading in late August, but Texas is currently in position to land the first overall pick in the 2015 amateur draft. As you can follow on MLBTR's Reverse Standings, the Rangers currently have the game's worst record at 52-81, narrowly putting them "ahead" of the Rockies (53-80), Diamondbacks (55-78) and Astros (57-78). Houston, of course, is in line for two top-five draft choices since the team is already guaranteed the #2 pick in 2015 as compensation for failing to sign first overall selection Brady Aiken this past summer.
Here's the latest from Arlington…
- Colby Lewis wants to return next season and Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News figures the team wouldn't hesitate to re-sign him aside from the troubling issue of Lewis' struggles at Globe Life Park. Lewis has a 7.17 ERA in 13 home starts this season, as opposed to a 3.69 ERA in 11 road starts. Overall in 2014, Lewis has a 5.44 ERA in 137 1/3 innings, though ERA predictors such as FIP (4.35), xFIP (4.30) and SIERA (4.15) indicate that he has been unlucky this year, possibly due to a .365 BABIP. The veteran right-hander returned to action this season after being sidelined since July 2012 due to injuries, and his minor league deal with Texas is up after the season.
- The Rangers have long been interested in Orioles right-handed pitching prospect Parker Bridwell and have attempted to acquire him several times over the last three years, MASNsports.com's Roch Kubatko reports. Bridwell, 23, was a ninth-round draft pick in 2010 and currently has a 4.51 ERA, 2.03 K/BB rate and 136 strikeouts over 135 1/3 IP at the high-A ball level this season. Though Bridwell's career numbers are nothing to write home about, Kubatko thinks the O's should put him on the 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft since "he's also got some of the best stuff in the organization."
- Also from Evan Grant, manager Ron Washington says that Adam Rosales is performing well enough to be considered for a utility role in 2015. Rosales has started at all four infield spots for Texas this season and is enjoying by far his best season with the bat, posting a .907 OPS in 80 plate appearances. Rosales is eligible for arbitration for the third and final time this offseason.

Minor Moves: Rosales, Ahmed, Bianchi
We'll keep track of today's minor moves here.
- The Rangers have announced that they will purchase the contract of infielder Adam Rosales and optioned fellow infielder Luis Sardinas to the minors, where he'll presumably have more regular playing time. The Rangers will need to make a 40-man roster move to make space for Rosales, who was hitting .276/.349/.434 in 307 plate appearances for Triple-A Round Rock.
- The Diamondbacks announce that they have selected the contract of infielder Nick Ahmed. Fellow infielder Chris Owings will head to the 15-day DL with a shoulder strain, and the Diamondbacks will clear 40-man roster space for Ahmed by moving Eric Chavez to the 60-day DL. Ahmed, 24, was hitting .324/.390/.431 for Triple-A Reno, where he played shortstop and second base. He was originally drafted by the Braves, who traded him to Arizona in the Justin Upton / Chris Johnson / Martin Prado deal.
- The Brewers have announced that they've selected the contract of infielder Jeff Bianchi from Triple-A Nashville, adding him to their 40-man and 25-man rosters. To clear space for him on the 25-man, they've optioned pitcher Alfredo Figaro to Nashville. Shortstop Jean Segura left yesterday's game with leg cramps, which might be why the Brewers are adding another infielder. The Brewers outrighted Bianchi last month. He has a career .214/.249/.281 line in parts of three seasons, all with Milwaukee.

Minor Moves: Adam Rosales, Xavier Avery, Carlos Peguero
Here are today's minor moves and outright assignments from around the league…
- Infielder Adam Rosales has accepted an outright assignment with the Rangers, tweets Anthony Andro of FOX Sports Southwest. The well-travelled Rosales has 920 MLB plate appearances over his career, and owns a .219/.287/.335 line in that stretch.
- Outfielder Xavier Avery of the Mariners has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A, reports Greg Johns of MLB.com (via Twitter). The 24-year-old figures to be a useful depth piece for Seattle.
- Andy McCullough of the Kansas City Star reports (via Twitter) that the Royals have outrighted outfielder Carlos Peguero to Triple-A Omaha after he cleared waivers. According to a previous report from McCullough, the Royals made a clever move — Peguero and his agent might use a different adjective — by claiming left-hander Patrick Schuster from the Padres and designating Peguero for assignment. Per McCullough, Schuster never really had a shot to crack the roster, and the Rule 5 pick was returned to his original organization, the Diamondbacks. However, the move gave Kansas City cause to DFA Peguero, and the 10-day DFA window helped ensure that he could be slipped through waivers more easily, as he didn't have to be waived until eight days after his DFA (most teams' 40-man rosters were set by the time Peguero was placed on waivers).

Rangers Designate Adam Rosales For Assignment
SUNDAY: The Rangers announced they have designated Rosales for assignment. The Rangers now have 10 days to trade, release, or outright Rosales to the minor leagues.
SATURDAY: The Rangers will designate infielder Adam Rosales for assignment, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports via Twitter.
Readers of the site will remember seeing a similar headline on several recent occasions, as Rosales was DFA'd and claimed several times last year, moving between the Rangers and division-rival Athletics. The 30-year-old looked to be in better shape this time around after Texas gave him a $750K salary to avoid arbitration, but struggled to a .159/.208/.205 line with 15 strikeouts in 48 spring plate appearances.

Rangers Avoid Arbitration With Adam Rosales
The Rangers have avoided arbitration with infielder Adam Rosales by agreeing to a one-year, $750K contract, according to Richard Durrett of ESPNDallas.com (on Twitter). Rosales is represented by agent Steve Hilliard of Octagon.
The 30-year-old Rosales bounced back and forth between the Rangers and A's an unthinkable amount of times. Rosales was designated for assignment by Oakland on July 31, claimed by Texas on Aug. 2, designated for assignment by the Rangers on Aug. 5, claimed by the A's on Aug. 8, designated by Oakland again on Aug. 10 and finally claimed for the last time by the Rangers on Aug. 12.
In 166 plate appearances between Oakland and Texas this season, Rosales batted .190/.259/.327. He appeared at second base, third base, shortstop and left field, and he also posseses more then 200 career innings at first base. MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz had projected a salary of $900K from Rosales, who earned $700K in 2013.

Texas Notes: Astros, Rangers, Springer, Berkman
There's a chance that the two Texas clubs could find themselves on the opposite ends of the standings come season's end. As the MLBTR reverse standings tell us, the Rangers entered today four games behind the Braves for the best record in baseball, while the 39-81 Astros have a firm grasp on the league's worst record. The Astros are on pace to become the first team in baseball history to select the No. 1 overall pick in three consecutive amateur drafts.
Here are some news items out of the Lone Star State…
- Astros prospect George Springer will remain in minors through the end of the Triple-A season and their playoffs, general manager Jeff Luhnow tells MLB.com's Brian McTaggart. The center field star could be brought up by mid-September if the club feels it would make sense. Springer, 23, has a combined .303/.411/.605 line and 33 homers in 520 PA between Double-A and Triple-A this season. Baseball America tabbed Springer as the 20th-best prospect in the sport in their midseason prospect rankings after ranking him 37th before the season; he was also highly-touted by both ESPN's Keith Law (43rd) and MLB.com (58th) in preseason ratings.
- The Astros will make relief pitching a priority this winter, manager Bo Porter told reporters (including McTaggart). Houston will likely try to obtain at least one veteran reliever to aid their young relief corps, McTaggart speculates.
- The Rangers and Lance Berkman are trying to decide if they will wait until the rosters expand on September 1 to activate the veteran slugger from the DL. Berkman played four games on a rehab assignment but told reporters (including Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News) that he has "concerns about competing at the level I think I am capable of. If I can't do that, I'm not sure, I can be a positive piece for the team. There is no doubt I can compete. I just don't know about the level." Berkman has a .732 OPS in 282 PA with Texas this year but he has been on the DL for over two months with hip and knee injuries and even considered retirement earlier this summer.
- Adam Rosales could be a factor in the Berkman situation, MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan explains. The infielder would likely be the one designated for assignment to make roster space for Berkman and the Rangers don't want to lose him again. Rosales has already been designated four times since July 8 and has bounced back and forth between the Rangers' and Athletics' rosters over the last few weeks.

Rangers Claim Adam Rosales
The Rangers have claimed Adam Rosales off waivers from the Athletics for the second time in the past 10 days, the team announced via press release.
Rosales, 30, has been designated for assignment by the A's on three separate occasions in the past five weeks. The first time, he cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento. Following a July 31 DFA, he was claimed by the division-rival Rangers. Texas designated Rosales for assignment just three days later, however, in order to make room for outfielder Joey Butler.
Oakland reclaimed Rosales, only to designate him again just days later, this time to clear a roster spot for right-hander Sonny Gray. The versatile Rosales is batting .191/.267/.316 in 154 plate appearances with the A's this season. He didn't get an at-bat in his previous three-game stint with the Rangers.

AL West Notes: Ryan, Jaso, Rosales
Here's a look at the latest from the AL West:
- Nolan Ryan met with reporters ahead of the Rangers' matchup with the Astros tonight and said he doesn't anticipate changes in regard to his position as the club's CEO. "Things have settled down and I feel good about the ballclub and the way things are going," Ryan is quoted as saying in an article by TR Sullivan of MLB.com. "You just get through each season and see how you feel and how your health is."
- The hall-of-famer said he's happy with the club's position following GM Jon Daniels' acquisition of Alex Rios from the White Sox to replace the suspended Nelson Cruz. Ryan also told reporters that he's "thrilled" with Ron Washington's stewardship of the club.
- John Jaso's absence and the lack of other catchers on the Athletics' 40-man roster mean that Oakland might have to start monitoring the waiver wire for backstops, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle tweets. Jaso has been out since July 25 with a concussion.
- The A's recently designated Adam Rosales for assignment, but Jane Lee of MLB.com notes that the club is a fan of his defense and would probably like to retain him. In the last 11 days, the 30-year-old has been DFA'd twice by the A's and once by the Rangers.

Athletics Designate Adam Rosales For Assignment
For the third time in just eleven days, infielder Adam Rosales has been designated for assignment, this time by the Athletics, according to John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle (via Twitter.) The move will make room for hurler Sonny Gray on the club's active roster.
Of course, it was the A's who kicked off Rosales's recent movements, designating him on July 31. After being claimed by the Rangers, Rosales suddenly found himself back in Oakland after being designated by Texas. In the course of his travels, the 30-year-old has seen just one at-bat. His triple-slash line stands at .191/.267/.316 over 154 plate appearances.
The Athletics' one-day fling with Rosales is not as cruel as it may seem at first blush. As Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports (on Twitter), the club intends to try and pass Rosales through waivers and keep him in the organization. With the exception of his brief dalliance with the Rangers, Rosales has been with the A's since 2010, bouncing between the big leagues and Triple-A Sacramento.

Athletics Claim Adam Rosales
Adam Rosales' stay in Texas was brief, to say the least. The Athletics announced on Twitter that they have re-claimed the infielder off waivers from the Rangers after he was designated for assignment last week. Oakland will make a corresponding 25-man roster move tomorrow.
The Rangers claimed Rosales off waivers from the A's on Aug. 2, and he was only property of Texas for three days before being designated for assignment once again. Rosales, 30, is hitting .193/.268/.319 on the season. He didn't receive an at-bat during his three-game tenure with the Rangers. The A's could potentially need the extra infield depth, as new acquisition Alberto Callaspo suffered what was thought to be a minor injury in a home-plate collision yesterday.

Christmas shopping - top tips please
- d
- DietStartsTomorrow Dec 7, 2010 07:14 AM
Would be interested to hear from other Chowhounders what goodies they particulary like to indulge in at xmas...some little gems from supermarkets would be great . Am interested in cheeses, chocolates and liquors for cocktails....but any good tips to try would be appreciated as I have lots of time off between xmas and new year and intend to eat, eat, eat....
re: zuriga1
The M&S salted caramel bites are also heavenly. Quite difficult to track down as they've been so popular, but if you spot them, snap them up -- dangerously edible!!
re: mr_gimlet
I think some of the supermarkets have small pannetones. I'm sorry I don't remember which one I saw them in. I don't want one of the large ones either... just a bit too indulgent.
if you're in london this weekend the chocolate fair behind the royal festival hall, near waterloo, is on this weekend. it normally has a good range of attendees - i usually stock on on damian alsopp (water ganaches/no dairy - wonderfully intense flavours) and william curley.
the lewisham coffee exchange boys should be there too, if you need a caffeine fix.
re: abby d
ooh good tip! I'm putting a together a London hamper for the bf's parents so William Curley or Paul A Young would be perfect.
If it were me, I'd buy some of Waitrose's pretty decent organic smoked salmon and some of their fancy eggs to scramble.
re: abby d
These are the stalls for the weekend. I'd appreciate any other specific recommendations to look out for from anyone?
I'd love to stock up but i'm mentally weak.
re: abby d
I'm not sure whether to thank you or not! DH and I are headed to London on Friday, and I will whisper sweet nothings in his ear so I'll manage to steer him there after landing at Waterloo.
A few taste tests of Christmas goodies available in supermarkets below by Michelin starred chefs, although there are a few contradictory opinions:
this one has lots about cheese
Stand out good value items include Co-op Truly Irresistible Christmas Pudding recommended by Marcus Wareing, Angela Hartnett recommends Tesco finest panettone, and Tom Aitkin's recommendation of Aldi smoke salmon?
Personally i hate the experience of supermarkets, and will always pay a little extra to avoid the damage to my well being. My recommendations for quality food and excellent customer service are Paxton and whitfield (off Picadilly Circus) for cheese and Paul Young (camden) for chocolates if you cannot make it to the festival this weekend.
I bought a quarter bottle of pink Lanson champagne from Waitrose. Extravagant, but just knowing it's sitting in the fridge waiting for one of those Christmas/New Year moments when one feels morose makes the thought of morosity more bearable
Waitrose are selling a gorgeous soft Italian cheese with truffles in it at the moment? (Sorry can't remember the name as the wrapper is always torn off greedily and consigned to bin as the entire thing is gobbled up immediately) It's round, and the cellophane is held in place with raffia.
Carluccio's is always good for treats - particularly the torrone and small panettones? Or the Finnochiola salami with fennel
If you're into mail order, Inverawe's smoked fish ranges absolutely knock the socks off anything else, and their smoked salmon pate is excellent as well. Good selection of hampers and gift presentations
Or Mas Amiel a red dessert wine available from Lea & Sandeman - gorgeous - my find of the year
My other find of the year Sipsmith London-distilled gin made in copper stills
All available in Chiswick if you're heading west? If you do check out Mortimer & Bennett and Whisk Cooking Solutions for great ideas. Might compensate for lack of Heston's Xmas pudidngs in Waitose?
Happy shopping

Legacy (2005)
by Bob Marley
There is probably no place on Earth that puts out more recorded music per capita than Jamaica, and there is no doubt that it's pop music, made for ... Show synopsis There is probably no place on Earth that puts out more recorded music per capita than Jamaica, and there is no doubt that it's pop music, made for dancing in the dancehalls and then chilling afterward, but it's also a kind of folk music, too, where favorite rhythms are versioned repeatedly, with new songs growing out of the old ones, then dubbed and stripped back, only to be versioned again and again, constantly reentering the dancehalls in new clothes. It also means that on the business side of things, Jamaica is a licensing nightmare, with who owns what recording often in doubt, and when it comes to Bob Marley, it's an even bigger nightmare, because there's a whole lot of money to be made in that name. Bob Marley & the Wailers recorded regularly in fairly piecemeal style for several different Jamaican producers beginning in 1962 before signing to Island Records a decade later in 1972, eventually taking Jamaica and reggae to the world. So who owns these early tracks? It's a legal matter, and a complicated one, so who knows? But every year scores of haphazard and dubiously legal collections of Marley's pre-Island material hit the market, reconfigured in countless ways (but always with a bright photo of Marley and plenty of red, yellow, and green colors on the cover), and it's almost impossible to know what you're getting musically since Marley and company often re-recorded the same songs with different producers, who in turn might remix and dub them, plus there are the song demos Marley did for Johnny Nash in 1968 and 1971 floating around out there as well. This three-disc set has a little of everything, including Wailers self-productions from 1967 ("Nice Time"), Leslie Kong productions from 1970 ("Soul Shake Down Party" and Peter Tosh's "Soon Come"), several Lee "Scratch" Perry productions from later in 1970 through early 1971, and then more Wailers self-productions from the end of 1971 through 1973. That variety makes this three-disc set an OK budget purchase, but don't expect the smoother, more polished Marley of the later Island years. The Perry stuff, in particular, is essential listening, but that too has been licensed so many times that it's almost like freeware. A big chunk of the Perry sides is here, though. That's better than it not being here. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi

I've long since gotten rid of my Blade Ward enchant, but our Prot Paladin is still using it. Here's a link to a 25 man XT Hard Mode kill:
WoW Meter Online - Combatlog Replay
8:53 (533 seconds), 6 procs, 28 seconds of uptime (5%), 4 Parries while Buff was active (1050 average damage).
So, also interesting here. First, I can't really see a way to tell if the buff stacked or not from the WMO, but I'll assume they didn't stack at all (given the low proc rate). If there were 6 procs, and only 4 triggered parries while the buff was up, that means 2 of the procs were up for their full 10 second duration and then fell off without being consumed. So 20 of the 28 seconds of uptime were from those "unused" procs. Futher, this means that the remaining 8 seconds of uptime had 4 parries, an average of 2 second of the Buff being up before a parry occured (and an overall average of 4.6 seconds of the buff being active before a parry occurs).
Seems like the uptime of Blade Ward for paladins is a lot less than for warriors.
[Also, there are a ton of failed XT-Hard attempts in that WMO all with the Blade Ward Paladin MTing. A lot of data.]
