Racers dazzle at speedway's 'media night'
That was a couple of weeks ago and I decided to take up the invite and visited Port Angeles Speedway on a windy Saturday night.
As I was making the short drive to the oval, I was thinking about my first trip to the ASCRA Speedway at McDonnell Creek many moons ago. That was the track built by Jim and Pat Seeds and the members of the Angeles Stock Car Racing Association.
The track had a clay surface, probably was not even a quarter of a mile, had a small wooden grandstand and the stock cars of the day had a ball roaring around the track.
Very soon it was on to Port Angeles Speedway, the current plant between Port Angeles and Sequim. Wooden grandstands, a paved track with a little banking in the turns and a meadow parking lot above turns one and two housed the viewers who wanted to party and watch races at the same time.
I was "hired" as a track announcer and could not pass up $25 every Sunday afternoon and all the beer I could consume. Usually the day started with time trials (two times around with best time determining starting order in heat races and main events), then a big drivers' meeting, then trophy dashes, heats and the big main events.
We saw some great drivers, folks. One of the best, if not the best, was Monte English in his super stock. He had a knack of moving up from last place to first in a very short time and was such a good sport he even backed off a bit in lopsided races to make it more fun for the fans.
Ron Eaton, Doug Linde, Jim Allen and his racing team, Bill Huizinga and others were just a few of the great drivers.
Forks used to have a big contingent of outstanding drivers.
I recall some super stock races that had 25 cars going in the main event. Lap counters in the tower had a heck of a time.
After the death of Jim Seeds, Pat and the family ran the place for a while, then Reg Midgley of Victoria purchased the property, then a series of owners, including Huizinga and Don Perry, tried to keep the track going.
As I drove in, I was met by current track operator Bert Johnson and his crew. The wooden grandstands still stand. There's a brand new aluminum bleacher at turn four and a new building for the beer garden. The concession stand still puts out those five-napkin Speedway Burgers and the giant chili dogs.
All racing cars are issued a portable transponder when they sign in at the back gate. The electronic device is attached to the front bumper of the car and all times are electronically calculated when they hit the starting line where the computer control is located.
Time trials are a breeze now as they send out four cars at a time in the various classes to time in. After four or five laps warm up, all are timed in. It's sort of like a mini-heat race.
One employee still logs each lap by hand, just in case of electronic malfunction.
The super stocks are now street stocks or hobby stocks, There are outlaw compacts, hornets (four-cylinder cars), junior hornets and queen bees (women who drive hornets) and Johnson brings in dwarf cars, sprint cars, midget auto racers, drift cars, vintage modifieds and trucks, along with special events like the Old Time Racing Association of Victoria that put on a 40-lap show the night I was there.
The Olympic Peninsula Association of Demolition Drivers has split into several groups now but they put on a crash-to-pass show most Saturday nights as a wind-up to the regular program. They also have a truck version of the popular race. There also is a boat race that packs the place as cars pull fiberglass boats around and the drivers have to have their boat hit another boat to pass.
I guess it took the Johnsons three days to clean up debris from that event in June.
There are some big races coming up - the hornet nationals from July 18-19 will be an event drawing hornet cars from all over the state.
Coming up is a monster truck show on Friday and Saturday, July 24-25, then Dusty Russell brings his auto daredevil show to the speedway Aug.1 with racing, crashing and jumping and an attempt to break the world record for dive bombing.
Fans are urged to get tickets in advance for the monster trucks and the auto daredevil show as cars sometimes are backed up to the highway trying to enter the gate.
For the entire schedule, go to www.PortAngelesSpeedway.com.
As for media night? I was sort of looking forward to getting in a car and driving around against my fellow journalists, if, in fact any of the car owners were willing to let a novice behind the wheel.
But when intermission came and the call for media to appear, lo and behold I was the only "media" to show up. Where was my boss, Mike? Where was the Sequim radio station?
Well, there can't be a race with one car, so it was called off. Just in time, too, as weather was coming in and they wanted to get the 40-lap main for the old cars going.
Anyway, after looking at how the drivers get into the car (one leg through the driver's side open window, then haul the rest of their body into the car and belt up into a tiny seat), I decided maybe it was a great thing the media race never happened.

When the rock band Kiss performed at Memorial Coliseum in the 1990s – the band has performed in Fort Wayne 10 times – facility employees discovered at the last minute that a large video wall could not be moved and the stage could not be properly rigged.
We had to move 300 people from the seats they had purchased and find them other seats, said Bryan Christie, who has worked at the Coliseum 45 years and is now vice president of operations. Of course, they wanted to know why we did not plan better, but it just could not be helped.
Being flexible is one of the keys to the Coliseum's success, said Randy Brown, executive vice president and general manager.
During recent interviews, Brown and his staff talked about the work involved in ensuring the Coliseum remains a competitive entertainment venue.
From booking and marketing to luxurious guest services to literally setting the stage, the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum staff executes a well-choreographed dance to attract a plethora of events throughout the year.
And it's working, according to recent financial and tourism data. More than 1 million people visited the facility last year – fewer than the previous year. But the economic effect of those visitors was $116 million, a nearly 17 percent increase, Brown said.
Looking for additional revenue, Brown acknowledged last week that naming rights have been shopped around for years but will pertain only to the arena within the complex, not the complex itself, he said.
Still, the 80-acre county-owned complex is among a small percentage of similar venues that made a profit last year, netting about $46,000, he said.
Some venues are not as fortunate. According to the Evansville Courier & Press, the Ford Center in Evansville listed operating revenue of $1.58 million in 2012, but when taking costs into account, the arena's deficit came to $281,293 for the year. Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis lost $10 million last year.
This year's numbers are up in the air, but any time part of the Coliseum is shut down for renovations, as it has been this year, profits will not be as great, Brown said.
In that case, we just do not want to lose money, he said.
A prime site
Home to the Komets, the Mad Ants and the Fort Wayne Derby Girls, the Coliseum complex also hosts other sporting events, national concerts, family shows, trade shows, business and consumer events and private celebrations.
After 10 years of calling the Coliseum home, the IPFW men's basketball team will return to its on-campus arena to play its home games this coming season.
If IPFW's team makes a switch from its Summit League to the Horizon League, as speculated, it will again be playing at the Coliseum because the on-campus site is not large enough, Brown said.
The Horizon League has a stipulation that there must be seating for 5,000, he said.
But IPFW games were never a money-maker for the Coliseum, he said.
It was in the best interest of the community, so we just did it, Brown said.
One type of money-maker is the concert of a popular entertainer.
This year's big-name concerts included Kenny Chesney, Journey, Winter Jam, Kid Rock, Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood and Barry Manilow.
As part of a national booking consortium, Brown emails about 150 to 200 promoters every month, offering a list of open dates for the next six to 12 months.
The Midwest location is ideal, according to Brown, because many base operations are within six hours of Fort Wayne, such as in Nashville, Tenn.
The ease of getting in and out of the building is another plus, ticket office manager Michelle Remenschneider said.
We hear that all the time, she said. We have a good reputation.
The industry backs up that claim.
For 12 consecutive years, Memorial Coliseum has been named a prime site by Facilities Magazine.
It was recently ranked 13th in the world for ticket sales among similar-sized venues in the industry's leading publication, Venues Today. The ranking was based on concert and event grosses from June and July 2012.
During that time, the World Wrestling Entertainment RAW Supershow pulled in more than 8,000 people in one night. That event itself placed 11th in the publication's Hot Tickets ranking.
Making it happen
The scheduling is top secret until Brown has finalized the deal and confirmed the date – well, sometimes.
Occasionally, the staff finds out that a particular concert is coming to the Coliseum after it's been prematurely posted on that entertainer's or band's website, Remenschneider said with a laugh.
Either way, once it's official, the staff goes to work.
Along with Brown, Christie and Remenschneider, other key staff members include Andrew VanDeweghe, food services manager, and Nathan Dennison, director of marketing and media services. Together, the team has more than 100 years of experience as Coliseum employees.
With country music star Kenny Chesney, the staff worked closely with Chesney's manager and promoter, Louis Messina, who is also a promoter for Taylor Swift, George Strait and Reba McEntire.
Whenever Louis called, everything stopped, Brown said.
As with all events, Remenschneider worked on the pricing and seating for ticket sales, while Dennison began drafting a marketing and media plan. Christie worked to ensure the stage, lighting and equipment coordinates adhered to Chesney's preferences.
Most of the entertainers and promoters are great to work with, the staff said.
They talked to Elton John's promoter almost daily before his concert last year, Remenschneider said. We became best friends, she said.
That was John's second concert in Fort Wayne.
At the first concert in the 1990s, John was reserved and quiet, preferring to stay in the background, Brown said.
At his second concert, the ice was broken after staff presented him with a personalized Komets hockey jersey for his toddler son, Zachary.
He was very outgoing and friendly and just great to work with, Brown said.
Catering to celebs
VanDeweghe is the general manager of Aramark catering, the Coliseum's present onsite caterer. It is his job to find out the performers' favorite foods and beverages and plan food service accordingly.
One of the food services offered includes a craft table – shelves of requested goodies and snacks along with local newspapers and publications.
We have to find out if there are food and alcohol preferences or if there are food allergies, VanDeweghe said.
Sometimes, when specialty food items and alcohol or beverage requests are not standard fare, the staff must visit two or three grocery stores or, in cases where the items are not available locally, have the items shipped to the Coliseum, VanDeweghe said.
While others cater to the artists' proclivities, Remenschneider builds the event – emailing clients the arena layout and seating diagrams and working with them and Ticketmaster on pricing and selling tickets.
The most popular concerts are country, followed by Christian and classic rock, Remenschneider said.
Tickets for a well-known country singer will sell out in one day, she said.
Arena set-ups can be tailored to crowds of 6,000 to 13,000.
The artist and promoter set ticket prices – not the Coliseum, Remenschneider said.
Rocking the clock
Christie heads up the mechanics of the event – rigging, lighting, and setting up stages, runways, or band or orchestra pits, if requested.
Even though artists and event promoters supply their own stage or technical crews, the Coliseum also hires outside help such as stage hands, dishwashers, security, runners and riggers for a big event.
The Coliseum has 22 full-time employees and about 500 part-time staff that is scheduled as needed, depending on the size of the events, Brown said.
Along the way, Brown and his staff keep a meticulous paper trail so they can later be reimbursed for expenses.
Christie and his assistant operations manager, Eric Lonsbury, are a constant presence during most events. Christie has been known to work 50 hours straight during a busy weekend. Three shifts of workers are present during back-to-back events.
If a hockey game is going on in the arena for instance, it will be over and the floor will clear by about 11 p.m., he said.
We have about 25 minutes to clear the floor and arena and get ready for the next event, he said.
Typically, the staff is coming out of a hockey game and preparing for an impending basketball game, Christie said.
If a concert is scheduled the following night, he and Lonsbury will find themselves working through the night, Christie said.
Wild, wild West
One of the most exciting times takes place before a concert or game, Brown said.
The crowd is in high spirits, full of anticipation and some have enjoyed a few alcoholic beverages.
When we open the doors and until everyone is seated, it's the wild, wild West, he said.
And it's not just the audience who loves to have a good time. Brown had heard from other venue managers that a female singer, whom Brown declined to name, sometimes liked to remove her blouse or shirt while performing – the same singer who was scheduled to perform at the Coliseum.
Brown made sure to caution her promoter that she could not remove her top because the act might not have the desired effect in the conservative Midwest.
She did not, but she urged the women in the audience to take off their tops and enjoy the concert in their underwear and of course, some did, he said, laughing.
Because Brown and his staff check with other venues on what to expect from particular entertainers, they found out before he performed that controversial, heavy metal vocalist Marilyn Manson liked to wrap himself in a diaper made with an American flag as an encore act.
I explained to him that we are called the War Memorial Coliseum and it would disrespectful to veterans, Brown said.
Manson was as nice as could be and complied, Brown said.
Expand, adapt
The Coliseum is in the midst of a $2.3 million renovation of two food courts and eight restrooms on the upper-level arena.
Future plans include a $12 million expansion of the expo center, which will be enlarged to 130,000 square feet, an increase of 22,000.
The facility, like its staff, must be adaptable.
This is a fluid business we are in, Brown said. Inflexible venues do not get return business.
He credits his staff with understanding the need for adapting to an ever changing business and clientele.
We have an excellent staff who always tries to exceed expectations and go the extra mile, Brown said.

A hotel was evacuated and part of a busy road shut down Sunday afternoon after an accident led to a gas leak near Notre Dame.
A motorcyclist was pulling out of the Belmont Beverage parking lot on Edison Rd. at about 2 p.m., when he accelerated too quickly and lost control of his bike.
Police say the driver ran into the Ivy Court Inn and Suites with his motorcycle, knocking the gas meter off the building.
The hotel was evacuated as a precaution, and officers closed Edison from Twyckenham Dr. to South Bend Ave. as NIPSCO crews worked to contained the leak.
Witnesses say the crash could have been a lot worse.
"I was just hoping that it wasn't really bad," said one witness, Jodi Montbriand. "When we got over there and saw they were wearing helmets, that's what saved their lives. So thank god they had those on."
The driver was alert and conscious as he was taken to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries, and the passenger riding on the bike was not hurt.
Police reopened the road about an hour later at 3 p.m..

Just a Reminder!
The National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) stopped production of cassette books in 2010. If you receive only cassette books, you may want to consider adding Digital Book (DB) service. Why?
- New books are available only on DB.
- Magazines are available only on DB.
- Damaged cassette books are not being replaced.
And the digital book player is so much better!
- It is easy to use:
- Buttons on the player provide audio feedback.
- DBs are complete on one cartridge.
- It is smaller than the cassette player.
- It has superior sound quality.
So, why not give digital books a try? Contact us at 1-800-242-0586 with any questions or to get started!

Ricky Gervais is having some fun at Justin Bieber's expense.
Although the singer's fans may not see it that way.
In light of the singer saying Anne Frank would have been a Belieber, the comedian wrote on Twitter that he agreed with the artist, adding sarcastically:
"Anne Frank would've loved his stuff. It's perfect for being played really really quietly so no one can hear it. 30 million illiterate teenage girls are now crying and cutting and asking google 'Who is this bloody Anne woman that Justin likes so much?'"
Gervais concluded: "Joan of Arc was a great girl. I hope she would have been a Gervatheist."

Nine handbags worth $27,000 stolen from Gold Coast Barneys New York
BY MITCH DUDEK Staff Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com November 8, 2012 6:23PM
A purse-snatcher went right to the source on the Gold Coast, ripping off nine handbags worth $27,000 from Barneys New York.
It's unclear exactly when the designer handbags were taken from the store at 15 E. Oak St., but employees noticed they were missing Thursday and called the cops.
Detectives are reviewing security tapes.
Handbag price tags at the luxury retailer range from several hundred dollars to upwards of $12,000.

MOUNT PLEASANT - Kim Brown lives in the East Cooper countryside with six dogs, four cats and 52 chickens.
She and her husband Arthur like it that way.
So when Charleston County began tinkering a bit with the Urban Growth Boundary she worried about city rules coming to the two acres she calls home. It's the sort of thing that drove her away from Sullivan's Island.
"That, and you couldn't whistle," she said, referring to one of the quirkier aspects of island ordinances governing public behavior.
The county is reviewing and revising the location of the urban boundary for consistency with the City of Charleston and the Town of Mount Pleasant. The City of North Charleston does not have an Urban Growth Boundary. The idea of such coordination between jurisdictions is to follow parcel boundaries and geographic features where possible, said county Planning Director Dan Pennick.
Currently, areas such as Sol Legare Road on James Island are in the urban boundary within the county, but in the City of Charleston the location is considered rural, Pennick said.
At a county Planning Department public workshop on Thursday night at Wando High School, Brown eyed a map to get a better idea of where her property stood in relation to the urban boundary. The event was the last of a series of meetings that the department held to get feedback from the public on a five-year update to the Comprehensive Plan, which guides development.
Brown said that it was worrisome when a sprawling residential development began building near her home about a mile north of the high school off U.S. 17. She wants to keep that kind of progress away.
"I just feel like it's going to ooze out," she said of the creeping sprawl.
Defining the urban boundary has led to some spirited discussions, said County Councilman Herb Sass.
"There are some areas where the Urban Growth Boundary is more controversial than others, like John's Island," Sass said.
Being within the urban boundary matters when it comes to developing infrastructure such as water and sewer service, and having conveniences such as a corner store, Pennick said.
"Our area is changing all the time. How do we accommodate that change and manage it so that it doesn't overwhelm us?" Pennick said.
The new, proposed urban boundary has revisions that officials described as minor that were recommended by the county Planning Commission.
The Planning Department staff will take input received from the public back to the Commission in September. The Commission will recommend changes to County Council at a hearing in October, Pennick said.
Copies of the draft Comprehensive Plan are available for viewing at www.charlestoncounty.org, where comments are being accepted until July 15.

<Here it is, the epic work is finished. Have fun, hopefully the nuggets you want to know are easy to find...>
So, I've been slow to post this after the patch as I've been growing it into a pretty serious endeavor. The more I read "guides" and listen to the conventional wisdom on DK tanking from people, the more I come to appreciate that there are rarely truly fair or descriptive breakdowns of how to spec a DK. Instead people give cookie cutter specs with stock rotations and people are left to take the person they trust, and say, "THAT is how you do it, your spec is wrong." In truth, while that is the easiest answer for many who don't want to give it too much though, it leaves the Death Knight community weaker than it could be.
So, instead of just posting my spec here and explaining why I am using it (which I did anyway in the final appendix), instead I want to explain the elements of the Blood tree, and hopefully explain it in such a way that people understand how to weave a spec smartly to meet their own needs and desires.
This discussion will focus on a deep-Blood DK tank. This is not the only way to do things, nor is it necessarily the 'best' way. It is just one way, and the play style I've enjoyed the most.
================================================== =====
Every talent, gear stat, and ability is connected to a string of other elements. These elements all interact and will improve each other, so that the sum of a selection of talents will actually change your priorities for what spell you use or what stat is of value to you. So how do we navigate this? Simple, we can't make universal statements about the value of X spell or X talent free of the rest of the picture.Quote:
Tenet #1: Death Knight's are built on synergy.
My first step to getting into this is to first identify the talents for their relative threat and survival values, and for their interactions.
A classic maxim, but if you cannot survive the hits you take you're equally as useless as a tank who cannot keep the mobs' attention. Every tank needs to first meet the minimum requirement of survival (you need to be able to take hits well enough that your healers can keep you alive long enough that the dps can kill the boss) and threat (keeping ahead of the most threatening non-tank in your group, size of margin after that is only for peace of mind). Once you have met the minimums, each tank will find their preferred levels of threat and survival, usually playing to one or the other, or a balance of the two that will not have dps close to pulling aggro, or have the healers stressed under the healing load.Quote:
Tenet #2: Every tank must find a balance between survival and threat.
As I've worked to explain the relative relationship, I've done a LOT of math to express the complex interactions in complex terms. That said, not everyone wants to read all that, so much as extract the nuggets. In this first, main body of the post I will share the extracts, the key points. Then in a series of linked posts below will be the extensive data that explains the values and sentiments presented here.
In the appendices you can find the following:
Appendix 1: Survival Talent/Glyph Descriptions/Reactions
Appendix 2: Threat Talent/Glyph Descriptions/Reactions
Appendix 3: Crit-Centric Physical Damage Loop Math
Appendix 4: Death Coil Hammer Loop Math
Appendix 5: Play Styling, Fundamental Changes for Sharper Play
Appendix 6: Osyras' Current Spec Synopsis
The important points and values, will be presented right here, for summary sake.
Survival as a Blood Death Knight
As Blood Death Knights we rely on self-healing as our primary survival method. We will use the central passive tank abilities common to all DKs (5/5/5 or 5/8/5 the Holy Trinity of DK Tanking as I call it), and a pair of special-use tanking abilities, WotN and Spell Deflection, to provide an emergency save and a strong magic damage suppression ability, respectively. Our primary value, however, will be based on total health, heal-ability, and our heavy self-healing to appear as if we are taking less damage. The major players:
- Vamp Blood = the two-fold nature of this ability will double-buff most of your heals (the ones based on your total health for healing). It is a powerful survival tool for making the Blood tank incredibly easy to heal through any barrage.
- Death Strike = the heal from this ability will be your single largest healing value even if only used to exchange FU (Frost/Unholy) pairs for Death runes. It will also have a high overhealing value as it is frequently not used just to provide the heal.
- Rune Tap = this is a hard move to use well, but used frequently it can account for a decent amount of total healing. It can be a very important patch to save your life in a dangerous moment.
- Mark of Blood = harder still to use well, but used judiciously and strategically, this move can both improve the Blood tank's burst heals, and/or ease healing on another tank or the raid.
To make best use of these abilities, it is in the Blood tank's best interest to stack heavy amounts of health, though as with every tank, Blood still garners plenty of value from avoidance and armor. It is only the latter two, along with a carefully used IBF and AMS that will save the tank when facing down giant single hits.
Compared to Frost or Unholy tanks, the Blood tank will actually take the most damage in equal gear levels, but to healers it will not appear as such if self-heals are used liberally and smartly. There is no other tank that has the same level of interaction with their survival as the Blood Death Knight tank.
The value of Spell Deflection and WotN lie primarily in their potential for clinch saves. What this means is, rather than being a constant small passive value, they will be in frequent but pronounced effects. WotN is designed specifically to save your tail at the moment when you need it most. Spell Deflection is a bit less consistent for being used when you need it, but when it procs it will be a very noticeable effect.
Threat as a Blood Death Knight
Depending on the craft of the talent spec of a particular character, the focus and balance of where threat is generated may vary slightly; however, the major threat components are as follows:
- Heart Strike = this is the primary active ability of the tank, this will be the single best item for building and holding threat on 1-4 targets at a time.
- Death Strike = while the damage threat alone is not the most powerful tool, the combined threat of both damage and healing can be significant. This will usually appear in the top 4-5 major elements contributing to threat.
- Rune Strike = this semi-passive tool is a major threat player for all DK's and very easy to use without requiring active attention. There is also no better use of Runic Power available for threat, so it is well worth it to macro this into your other primary abilities and make sure it is used at every available opportunity.
- Melee (Auto-)Attacks = automatic weapon swings will always be a major component of any tank's threat. Blood is no exception and its buffs support that well.
- Death Coil = this is your sole Runic Power dump, and a valuable tool for filling rune blackouts (moments where all 6 runes are on cooldown). Blood can make additional use of this ability through the Sudden Doom talent.
- Death and Decay = the Blood tank will make smart use of this to shore up AoE threat. While it carries a heavy cost, it has solid threat and can be somewhat pre-set to collect targets and lay foundation threat.
- Blood Boil = the major tool for generating and maintaining threat on unlimited targets. It will not do as much damage on 1-2 targets as HS, but it will be invaluable when holding 4+ targets at once.
There is no longer good reason to spec into Annihilation in the Blood tree or to use Obliterate. Death Strike with the appropriate talents is close enough in damage value that the healing value carries it past Obliterate. The climb into Frost only servers to divide your talents into partial-use tools, as you will still want to use DS for frequent healing.
The major theme to Blood damage and threat, is heavy physical damage and generous passive critical chance buffs. All of these elements will work together to cross-buff and create a powerful final result. Removing any element from this synergy will do more than just remove the apparent buff from that single talent, it will reduce the effectiveness of each other talent in the web. The main non-spell talents for this are as follows:
- Blood-gorged
- Might of Mograine
- Dark Conviction
- Bloody Vengeance
- Improved Death Strike
- Subversion
The glyphs for Rune Strike and Death Strike, along with Bloody Strikes and 2-hand Specialization, as well as the passive AP buffs from Bladed Armor, Vet of the 3rd War, Abom's Might, and Ravenous Dead will frame this relationship to emphasize the main 4 threat tools: HS, DS, RS, and melee swings. The specific details of this loop and the synergy of these talents and skills are discussed in Appendix 3. In short, the fundamental chain is best supported by the following:
Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
Where the points in Hysteria and Rune Tap can be swapped in similar level talents as desired.
Beyond the basic threat system, there are a few additional elements that can be mixed and matched, or focused on solely to improve threat performance and playability. These are discussed in Appendices 4 and 5. These include buffing the returns on Deathcoil to improve Runic Power spending, and using abilities like Glyph of Disease, Death Rune Mastery, and Epidemic to alter the play style and adjust pacing of abilities. These benefits will also have to be weighed against picking up more of the survival tools that may have been excluded in the Blood tree, such as fully improving Rune Tap, Mark of Blood, or taking/finishing Spell Deflection or Will of the Necropolis.
Among the additional threat tools, they can be roughly ranked as follows:
Necrosis > Sudden Doom > Abom's Might*/Ravenous Dead > Black Ice
Though, some details may change depending on glyph choices and player methods. This is principally for single target threat, and assuming that the +10% AP buff from Abom's Might is not unique. If it is unique (i.e. no Trueshot Aura or Unleashed Rage from the raid) Abom's Might will be the #1 value on the list. Note that the AP increases from Abom's Might and Ravenous Dead, as well as Black Ice, will net a smaller total gain in threat than Sudden Doom or Necrosis, but they will buff tools that support multi-target threat, where the other two will not. Always check your own numbers generated to decide on your talent revisions.
You can find my personal spec and my reasoning's, methods, and preferences in Appendix 6.

We are soon to be starting up our own WSS server here and I just had a question about it. Can you use MySQL instead of a SQL Server as the database for WSS?
Also, Which version of SQL server/MySQL works best with WSS 3.0?
Thanks in advance.
I don't think you can.
If you're worried about cost then it's not an issue - WSS will use SQL Express (and I think it actually installs the "Windows Internal Database" which is basically a cut-down version of SQL for single purpose)

HOUSTON (AP) - The Houston Rockets traded point guard Rafer Alston to Orlando and acquired Magic forward Brian Cook and Memphis guard Kyle Lowry on Thursday, two people with knowledge of the deal told the Associated Press.
Memphis also receives the Magic's first-round draft pick as part of the deal, said the people, who requested anonymity because the trade had not been announced by any of the teams.
The three-team swap comes one day after Rockets star Tracy McGrady announced on his web site that he'll have season-ending microfracture surgery on his troublesome left knee.
The Magic, meanwhile, needed an experienced point guard after Jameer Nelson suffered a potentially season-ending shoulder injury on Feb. 2.

The Boulder County Fair keeps getting bigger — and better. This year, the 144-year-old gathering is adding five days to its standard five-day run, which means ten days of rodeos and events celebrating prized livestock, locally grown food, live music and more. For the kids, there are 4-H exhibits, mutton-bustin' rides and Pee Wee Livestock competitions, and there are plenty of activities for adults, too. For starters, a brew fest and farm-to-table dinner prepared by chef Dale Lamb have been added to this year's lineup, joining the usual mix of concerts, bullfighting and tractor pulls.
Another addition is something that people of all ages should enjoy: For the first time, BMX stunt competitions will be at the fair. "We see what's popular in Boulder County and look at what people want to see," explains fair coordinator Laura Boldt.

She's had a difficult time recently, having split from boyfriend of over two years Bradley Cooper.
But Renee Zellweger, 41, seems to have found a friend in Sandra Bullock, 46.
Whilst spending some post-break-up time in New York, the Bridget Jones actress visited Sandra at her Manhattan apartment.
And The Blind Side actress must have been a great comfort to Renee, having endured a very high-profile divorce from Jesse James in 2010 following his infidelities.
Meanwhile, Renee is said to be handling her break-up well.
"She's really good. She's going out with friends and she's moving on," a source told US magazine People.

AP Golf Writer
PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) -- Imagine how different it might have been for Tiger Woods if not for one perfect shot.
Major championships always have a signature moment. The 20-foot birdie putt by Adam Scott on the 18th hole at Augusta National that led to a green jacket. The pure 4-iron that Justin Rose hit into the 18th at Merion. Phil Mickelson's 3-wood onto the 17th green at Muirfield. Jason Dufner's wedge to a dangerous pin on the fifth hole at Oak Hill that stopped a foot from the cup.
The defining moment in another major-less season for Woods was his wedge on the 15th hole in the second round of the Masters.
It hit the pin and shattered his calm.
One inch to the right or to the left and he most likely would have had an easy birdie and the outright lead. Instead, the ball caromed off the green and into the water, setting off a wild chain of events that put Woods into the middle of a controversy that wasn't his doing except for inadvertently taking the wrong drop.
Information leaked to ESPN and Golf Channel didn't help. For two hours, all anyone knew was that Woods was being penalized two shots for the incorrect drop, and thus signed an incorrect scorecard, but he would not be disqualified.
There was outrage, and rightly so. Some of that lingered even after Augusta National offered a reasonable explanation that its decision was based on Rule 33-7, which gives a committee discretion to waive disqualification. In this case, the club said it could have -- and should have -- talked to Woods before he signed his card. Whether the club let him off the hook is a separate debate. Either way, Woods was seen as the central character in a conspiracy.
Can one shot really make that much of a difference?
There's no way to know how the Masters or the rest of his season would have unfolded. But this much was clear. Those who have spent years around Woods at golf tournaments noticed a sharp change in his outlook in the month leading to the first major of the year.
When he won at Doral, there was an undeniable sense of peace about Woods that had been missing since the scandal in his personal life at the end of 2009. That serenity was evident again at Bay Hill, even as he revealed a relationship with Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn, and he went on to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational with ease.
Woods never looked the same after the Masters, despite winning his next start at The Players Championship.
None of this can be proved, of course. He did have an elbow injury that kept him out of two tournaments this summer. And it's impossible to say what's going on inside someone's head, especially a golfer, and especially someone like Woods.
Even so, few other sports rely so heavily on inner calm. Woods talked about that after his two biggest blowouts in majors -- his 12-shot win at the Masters and 15-shot win at the U.S. Open.
"There comes a point in time when you feel tranquil, when you feel calm. You feel at ease with yourself. And those weeks, I felt that way," he said after the 2000 U.S. Open win at Pebble Beach. "I felt very at ease with myself. And for some reason, things just flowed. And no matter what you do, good or bad, it really doesn't get to you."
There is nothing wrong with his game, even as it remains subject to intense scrutiny.
Woods has five wins this year, which includes two World Golf Championships and The Players Championships. That's a career for some players. Yes, he tends to win on the same courses, but maybe that's because he plays the same courses on his limited schedule.
But there was something about the majors this year that brought out a different player.
Nick Faldo said before the British Open that Woods was "not in a good mental place." For some reason, this became news. Jack Nicklaus effectively suggested the same thing in a Golf Channel interview during the final round of the PGA Championship. Nicklaus said Woods was swinging the club a week earlier at Firestone "as well as I've ever seen him swing it," and that his swing wasn't quite the same as he got deeper into the PGA Championship, and further behind on the leaderboard.
Nicklaus said it was "between his ears."
