See gripping footage of real life disasters and hear from the volunteers who risk their lives to rescue others.
Las Vegas is probably the last place you would expect to be lost in the wilderness. But the city known as a gambling (and "family fun") mecca sits in the middle of a wide tract of inhospitable desert, and this unforgiving setting keeps the members of the elite Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Search and Rescue Unit busy throughout the year.
INVESTIGATIVE REPORTSTM follows the team as they perform their vital job. Watch as they rescue freezing climbers from remote mountains and arrive first on the scene at a gruesome plane crash. Hear from some of the team's thirty volunteers and watch as they undergo some of the 300 hours of grueling training that they endure every year. Then go with them as they risk their lives to save others in all kinds of extraordinary situations.
Without people like the volunteers of the Las Vegas Search and rescue team, thousands of people would die annually. This is an eye-opening look at the dangerous--and rewarding--work of these real-life heroes.

The Ultimate Chore Chart
I have been doing research on chore charts for kids for some time now. It all began when my sister-in-law was talking to me about the chores her 4 year old did. My first thought was "wow, you can get him to do chores!" Then I thought, "maybe I should give it a try with my 3 year old." Well, all my attempts were far from successful, though bribes did help sometimes (maybe bribes is not the right word-I'll use "positive reinforcement"). She would stay in her bed all night if there was a quarter waiting for her in the morning. Some might frown on this method, but it worked for me! So I knew if I could find a chore chart with some reward at the end of the day, she just might learn to clean up after herself.
I knew I wanted a chore chart that could grow with the child and be adaptable. It also had to be cute if it was going to hang in my house. I wanted it to be kid friendly and appealing. I wanted it to be functional and proved plenty of chore options.
On my search for the perfect chore chart, I found plenty of chore charts that were cute. I found plenty that were adaptable. I found plenty that would grow with the child and be appealing to them. But none of them fit all my requirements. So, I made my own.
Here's how I did it!
I cut two pieces of fabric measuring 23x28 inches.
And lined them with fusible interfacing.
I cut pieces of thick, clear vinyl.
3 pieces measuring 4 1/2 x 6 1/2.
3 pieces 3 1/4 x 12.
1 piece 3 1/4 x 10
1 piece 17 x 5.
I found cute ribbon in my stash and sewed it along all sides of all vinyl pieces.
I then figured out my layout, and pinned and sewed the ribbon bordered vinyl pieces onto my fabric, leaving the top of each piece open to make a pocket.
I did this for all pieces.
Then I stitched small Velcro squares on the sides where I wanted them.
Then I pinned some ribbon on the top, to act as a hanger.
Now taking the other piece of fabric, I laid them right sides together and stitched all the way around, leaving an opening for turning it right side out.
After doing this, I prettied up my corners and pressed my seams and stitched my opening closed. That completes the making of the chore chart. Now I'll show you what I did to fill the pockets.
I made day's of the week titles, included with pictures, to help her identify her days. I image you could also use this spot to do a name label, or whatever you would like. I try to associate the days of the weeks with something that she does on each of those days. If you are wondering, she is not a scout at 3 years old. Both my husband and I volunteer in the scouting programs, so it kind of consumes our Tuesdays and she knows that. I also laminated all the tags so they hold up for awhile.
Next I made the tags for her chores. They are color coded to the day's of the week titles to keep them straight. This may seem like a lot of chores but it is only 3 a day, and by switching them each day she gets a variety of chores to do.
Then I went around and took pictures of the places where she does the chores. I think visuals are great for kids, that and she is 3 and can't read.
Then I made stars out of paper for her "star pocket". She loves this Dora copy cat!
Then I used sticky back Velcro for the back of the stars.
Then I put all the pictures and tags in place on the chore chart.
All the tags are stored behind each other for easy switching.
And that completes my chore chart. I hang it in a hall way down low where she can reach. Ideally, I wanted to use grommets to hang it, but in the end I didn't want to spend the money on it. So I used thumb tacks instead. It will work for now.
When the little one completes all 3 chores each day she is rewarded by getting to choose a treat from the "mommy store". This is just a box full of candy and cheap toys that I'll end up throwing away some day. We've done 1 day of the chore chart and it worked like a charm. I guess time will tell if the excitement of a chore chart ever wears off. I hope not! If so, all I'll have to do is make new tags and pictures!
What do you say? Cute, adaptable, kid friendly, appealing, functional, and will grow with your child-THE ULTIMATE CHORE CHART!
This chore chart was my best inspiration.

awsome work, ty heaps, i could see this being VERY useful
Feb 27, 2009 Update I am abandoning this project, there will be no further updates to it made by me. The reasons are:
- I'm unhappy with my implementation of talents, and with the current rapid changes going on from patch to patch, it is too difficult to maintain accurate numbers along with developing new features
- Acceptance to a new guild increasing my in-game time.
- Real life work been busier than it was when I started this.
All of that being said, while I am stopping work on this project, I am currently in the design phase of a new project which solves my first problem listed above (the major reason for my halting development on this). I don't want to into too much detail at this time, but the new project will support more classes than the warrior and will support more roles than just tanking. I hope to have something up for initial evaluation by the community in the next few weeks.
For now, I am attaching source code for what is as close to the current compiled version being distributed of this threat sim. In the near future I will also attach the source for my latest development version which is highly broken, but it will allow anyone who wishes to continue with this project or see where I was going to get a leg up.
Thanks for all the positive feedback on this... and now on to our regularly schedule program.
Ok, after all the discussion about this talent being better than that talent, and trying to decide what's the best way to go, and feeling like static spreadsheets are woefully inadequate, I spent my evening writing up a threat simulator.
The current build is likely buggy but I'm happier with the math it is spitting out. All of the threat numbers should be reported in the combat log for anyone to verify what is going on.
Here are a few things I'm presently concerned about:
- I ignored flat damage bonuses available through imp disarm and imp defensive stance (via enrage) talents, I can add these later as necessary
- I've tried to emulate the combat table as best as I can. I've left out incoming crits no matter what your avoidance stats are based on the fact that as tanks we will all aim for crit immunity.
Update 1: I've fixed a lot of the major bugs and the numbers the simulator is spitting out are much more reasonable now. Basically at this point I need someone else to take a look at the math it's doing and make sure it's valid. The two biggest items to be aware of - when a mob blocks it is absorbing the full damage, I can't recall if this is how things work on live/beta or what the deal is, so this needs to be adjusted. Also, there is no sanity checking on the input boxes - if you type random words in and your computer explodes, please don't blame me.
Update 2: Threat was being generated on slam/revenge dodge and parries, this has been fixed. Thanks to Mefear for this one.
Update 3: Thunderclap is now available. I think I have now covered all of the essential threat generation abilities. The current priority order is to Shield Slam, Thunderclap (if you've enabled it), Revenge, then Devastate. I'm pretty happy with where this little app is at right now and without any comments or feedback I'm not going to do much more with it, so play around if you like, or... don't. :P
Update 4: Reposted to Theory & Articles for public consumption
Update 5:
- error in the combat table fixed, crits should happen at appropriate intervals now
- special attacks only use 1/5th rage when they miss, are dodged or parried (apart from Thunderclap which will always use full rage)
- ALL special abilites when they miss or are dodged/parried no longer generate threat (only fixed one of them when I found this bug before, doh)
- mob block % has always been modifiable via interface - I've added mob block value and set it to 54 as default
- damage reduction from mob armor has changed to always be applied last after all other modifiers
- rage "c" value modified to 320.67
- damage shield logging is clearer now to indicate crits vs regular hits
Further replies below
Update 6 (Build 184.108.40.206)
- quick fix to solve the crash, I'm implementing the parry system and will release that shortly
Update 7 (Build 18.104.22.168)
- Crash should actually be fixed now
- Implemented parry hasting per the math provided by talisfears
- have started the conversion from text boxes to number boxes to make input a little more sane
Update 8 (Build 18.104.22.168)
- all input boxes are properly constrained, time for me to let this sit for awhile until I get more feedback
I've managed to just attach the .exe this time so the download isn't as big and it fits right on the forum. If it doesn't work for you, make sure you've got the .Net framework. Version 3.5 is available here:
Download details: .NET Framework 3.5
Would love to get some feedback, thanks!

awsome work, ty heaps, i could see this being VERY useful
AP Modified Damage Range with defensive stance penalty: 2515 to 2574 damage per white swing
Calculated weapon DPS increase from 2333,33333333333 AP is 166,666666666667
Calculated weapon DPS is 10,03125
No weird stats, didn't modify AP, armor or weapon damage, just added talents in and modified block value.
I think this isn't right :P
Damage Shield looks a bit weird as well, but can't know for sure. It varied from 90, 100 to 410 without changing any stats (so with 150 BV).
Also lacking expertise as well.
With no changes:
AP Modified Damage Range with defensive stance penalty: 2172 to 2231 damage per white swing
Calculated weapon DPS increase from 2000 AP is 142,857142857143
Calculated weapon DPS is 10,03125
It looks like you are doing the same mistake I made when making my own personal sim - multiplying weapon speed by 10 for pratical purposes, but forgetting to account for that. Thus the weapon DPS being too low and AP DPS too high.
Can't be sure without looking at code, though. I'd post my own sim, but it's very unpolished and I'm hoping to make an interface and expand it to DPS in general before anything.
I think this might need to STICKY'ED. This is amazing, to even attempt, and I'm sure this will be a MAJOR asset to the community.
Supa-Dorf gives 2 thumbs up!
Unfortunatly, I know NOTHING of anything like this... so yeah. I'll be keeping tabs on the updates.
November 23, 2004 8:27:03 AM - Glomgore 10+ Years of tanking? Priceless
Love this program, have the potential to be something huge!
Just a thought about shield slam, on 19 slams i had 1 crit with critical block 3/3 and 15 base crit. I could just be real unlucky but maybe you could double check this?
Also adding a summary for the different attacks, crit min and max same with non crits. And possibly % of total damage and threat ?
I'm sure you have already though on this, keep up the awesome work
- At level 70 all mobs block about 5% for exactly 54, including bosses, not sure about level 80 yet
- Armor is always done last to damage that it applies to. Bleeds won't be reduced by armor. As far as I know multipliers like Enrage, 1h spec, and the def stance penalty are all multiplicative with armor and with each other.
- If c follows its trendline, it will be 320.67 at level 80.
- Your last concern is just a design decision, I only very recently added the potential for crits into my spreadsheet to help beginners and help defense items drift to the top of the gear list.
I'll try to check out the code later and see if any of the math disagrees with my spreadsheet.
- dodged abilities do still generate threat?
- parries grant a free swing?
- no white damage?
Looks neat though. But yeah - it would be easier to check the numbers if you released the code.
AP Modified Damage Range with defensive stance penalty: 321 to 379 damage per white swing
Calculated weapon DPS increase from 2000 AP is 142.857142857143
Calculated weapon DPS is 100.3125
Changing to 3/3 AttT produces:
AP Modified Damage Range with defensive stance penalty: 355 to 414 damage per white swing
Calculated weapon DPS increase from 2333.33333333333 AP is 166.666666666667
Calculated weapon DPS is 100.3125
These numbers look correct to me, and I'm trying to figure out why yours are off. I'll look into it while going through the remainder of the posts in this thread.
I'll run it again at home, but yeah, I get that every time I run it here.
Old version attached maybe?
I'm not 100% sure of the math behind parry hasting, so presently when you parry an attack you are granted an instant swing. I know it's not this simple but I haven't found any references on precisely how it works. As it is now, it is "close" but not perfect.
I'm not sure what you mean by no white damage - the simulator is generating white damage and threat from it.
Thanks Talisfears for the information, it has all been incorporated.
As for the request to implement expertise - it's basically already there, you simply need to modify the mob's parry and dodge chance based on what your expertise is granting you. The same goes for picking up the cruelty talent - just add the % crit to the crit box rather than having a cruelty talent dropdown.
Just crashed for me in Vista Sp1, dunno if you find this report to be helpful but here it goes

This is awesome.
I am getting an error occasionally. One of the progress is getting set to a negative value some how. I'll edit this when I see the error again and post it here.
Any chance of also getting the source?
Edit: See post above
annnnnd stickied!
READ THIS: Posting & Chat Rules
From Quigon's mega warrior thread at EJ:
The mechanic works the same way for the warrior, when he parries the boss' attack, it speeds his next white attack by the same system.Originally Posted by Quigon
Here is another post you might be interested in, where I derived the average attack speed multiplier as a function of parry and opponent attack speed.
Great work man !!
Which beta build is this up to ?
Looks like it's working great Opt. I was gonna ask about expertise, but then saw yer post above, amazing.
I THINK how parry haste works is it reduces the mobs auto atk timer by 40%, not sure if it works the same way on PC parrys.
Also, another possibility is working in our glyphs?
10+ rage on heroic strike crits, free heroic after revenges?
One more, possibly adding in multiple mobs? Allowing warriors too see what our average TPS for AoE tanking is?
You've got the TC every CD in there, add maybe Shockwave.
I know that = lotsa work, just suggesting ideas

Greasy Luck! The Whaling World of the Charles W. Morgan
In celebration of the relaunching of the last surviving wooden whaleship, Lyman Allyn presents Greasy Luck! The Whaling World of the Charles W. Morgan.
The exhibition, which runs from September 21 through June 8, 2014, will look at how whaling—its myths and reality, risk and reward—left its mark on Connecticut and American identity.
In the 1800s, friends and family gathered on the docks to wish "greasy luck" for a successful voyage to departing whaleships.
To most people, whales were mysterious creatures. Yet whaling was big business.
The thousands of barrels of oil the whalers brought home made ports like New London and Mystic some of the wealthiest places in the young nation, supporting a wide array of dockside occupations.

Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum to Launch Young Writers' Competition in Area Schools
The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum is launching a Young Writers' Competition among students from area schools to encourage creative thinking and writing and introduce mid-to-late 19th century history and the arts to tomorrow's museum audiences.
Steve Berry, New York Times best selling author (#1 internationally) and his wife Elizabeth are the creators of the History Matters foundation dedicated to historic preservation. Berry will work with LMMM's educators and judge the finalists in a contest that will culminate in the awards presentation at the Museum's Opening Night Gala on October 18, 2014, with cash and other prizes.
"This is a great way to introduce students to this magnificent National Historic Landmark," said Patsy Brescia, LMMM Chairman of the Board of Trustees. "A writing competition is a creative and educational way for students to explore the Museum's great history and architecture, while honing their writing skills."
LMMM Educators dressed in period costume will meet with teachers and students in the classrooms, and introduce the Mansion in a PowerPoint presentation followed by a visit to the museum, where students can draw ideas and inspiration for their story.
Trustee Haroldo Williams, chair of the Education Committee said, "I am a firm believer that this kind of experiential learning can be a great way to understand history and appreciate the arts in a deeper and more meaningful way."
Competition requirements include a mystery story with the Mansion as the backdrop, taking place between 1868 and 1900, which needs to be between 500-800 words for third grade students and 2,500 words or less for eighth graders. The Museum will also explore the possibility of adapting the award winning stories into a performance feature at the museum in the near future.

Interpreting Old Bones: Art and Science Give New Meaning to Remains Found on New Haven Green
The New Haven Museum offers an exhibition pairing powerful interpretive art created by seven well-known Connecticut artists with scientific analysis by noted bioarchaeologists in "Nothing is Set in Stone: The Lincoln Oak and the New Haven Green," an informative and revelatory tribute to the historic Lincoln Oak on the New Haven Green. In October 2012, winds from Hurricane Sandy toppled the mighty oak—planted in 1909 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Lincoln's birth—revealing human skeletal remains in the tree's exposed roots and creating an enigmatic story that captured the imagination of the entire country. The exhibition runs through November 2, 2014.
For the artistic portion of "Nothing is Set in Stone: The Lincoln Oak and the New Haven Green," area artists were invited to use branches, limbs, or pieces of the trunk of the Lincoln Oak to interpret the history of the tree and the discovery of the skeletal remains beneath it. The exhibit includes two works by noted Hamden sculptor, Susan Clinard, who says of her Lincoln Oak sculpture, Of the Same Branch; Portraits of the Civil War, 2014:
"I found a long branch from the Lincoln oak and wanted to tie the human experience together by sculpting several seemingly very different people from the civil war era from the same branch…to show a slave family and a Yankee and Confederate soldier. I looked at hundreds of civil war photographs and drew inspiration from the many hazy images I saw; trying to offer up each their story."
The other artists included in the exhibition are Lani Asuncion, Erich Davis, Michael Quirk, Jeff Slomba, Rachael A. Vaters-Carr and Alison Walsh. The collected works include mixed-media sculpture and video.
The scientific component of the exhibition consists of the results of the on-going archaeological analysis of human remains recovered from the site. Photo panels describe the remains—including bones, teeth, hair and tissue—and how they were used to determine the gender and approximate ages of those whose remains were unearthed in October, 2012, and offer hypotheses on health and disease issues of the interred. The contents of two time capsules found at the site of the fallen Lincoln Oak are also on display. The research shared in the "Nothing is Set in Stone" exhibition was conducted by G. P Aronsen, K. A. Williamson, and Y. Tonoike (Yale University); N. I. Bellantoni (UConn); G. Conlogue & N. Pelletier (Quinnipiac University); J. Krigbaum (U. Florida); and L. Fehren-Schmitz (UCSC). Historical research was provided by J. Schiff (Yale University) J. Bischoff-Wurstle, and J. Campbell (New Haven Museum).
"It's exciting to innovate new ways of interpreting New Haven history," says New Haven Museum Director of Photo Archives Jason Bischoff-Wurstle, who coordinated the exhibition. "Thanks to the vision of those who contributed, this exhibition uses unconventional elements to document one of the city's most colorful historic chapters."
The New Haven Green was used as a burying ground throughout Colonial times and until 1812. The Lincoln Oak was planted in 1909 by local members of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) —an organization of Civil War veterans--in honor of President Abraham Lincoln. In 2012, the uprooted tree revealed several surprises including two time capsules buried in 1909 by members of the GAR, and the remains of several 18th-century residents of New Haven.
"One hundred fifty years later, President Lincoln and the Civil War continue to fascinate us," says New Haven Museum Executive Director Margaret Anne Tockarshewsky. "We expect that the public may have a strong response to both the artists' interpretations and the findings of the scientists who continue to examine the remains found beneath the Lincoln Oak."
The New Haven Museum was gifted with the contents of the time capsules uprooted by the Lincoln Oak by The Committee of the Proprietors of the Common and Undivided Lands of New Haven, and a sampling of the artifacts is on display at the Museum.
The research was supported by The Committee of the Proprietors of the Common and Undivided Lands in New Haven; Yale University, Department of Anthropology; and Connecticut State Museum of Natural History and Archaeology Center, University of Connecticut.
"Nothing is Set in Stone" follows a panel discussion at the New Haven Museum on October 31, 2013, which revealed the initial findings of the team of scientists charged with investigating the human remains and time capsules discovered on the Green. The panel is expected to reconvene and present concluding details of the team's research in late October, 2014, coinciding with the two-year anniversary of the toppling of the Lincoln Oak.

Fingers & Toes
Ivoryton: A 1930's tap dance spectacular that burst on to the New York Stage in 2010 as part of the New York Musical Theatre Festival, Fingers & Toes opens the summer season at the Ivoryton Playhouse. A brand new work from Logan Medland, this mighty, mini musical combines snappy dialogue, catchy tunes and some of the fanciest dancing you'll see this year - high-energy tap routines that evoke the magic of the Fred Astaire – Ginger Rogers era. A deliriously delightful and genuinely funny love-letter to the old-fashioned backstage musical.
Tap dancer Dustin "Toes" MacGrath, and pianist Tristan "Fingers" St. Claire have managed to talk a major Broadway producer into coming to see their show in two weeks: a boy meets girl tap dance spectacular on the theme of love.
But there's a problem or two: first of all they haven't written it yet, secondly they don't have a girl, and sadly, they have no idea whatsoever about love. The hyper romantic Fingers is still in the throes of a tragic break up which has left him creatively blocked, the smooth womanizer Toes has never allowed himself to feel any emotion lasting longer than a week or so. They enlist the brilliantly talented Molly Molloy to co-star and immediately sparks begin to fly both creatively and romantically.
Starring Rick Faugno, whose career has included such memorable shows as Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Fosse, Wonderful Town, and Conversations with My Father on Broadway, as well as national tours of The Boy Friend, directed by Julie Andrews and Jersey Boys, in the critically acclaimed role of Frankie Valli. In 2009, Faugno was named 'Best Singer in Las Vegas' by Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Rick will be joined by his beautiful wife, Joyce Chittick, whose Broadway credits include Sweet Charity, The Pajama Game and, most recently, Anything Goes; and indy musician Aaron Berk as pianist "Fingers" St. Claire.
Fingers & Toes opens at the Ivoryton Playhouse on June 4 and runs through June 22. Directed by Robert Moss, acclaimed NY director and founder of Playwrights Horizons, choreographed by David Wanstreet and musical directed by Logan Medland; the set is designed by Dan Nischan, lights by Marcus Abbott and costumes by Kari Crowther.
Fingers & Toes opens in Ivoryton on June 4th and runs through June 22nd. Performance times are Wednesday and Sunday matinees at 2pm. Evening performances are Wednesday and Thursday at 7:30pm, Friday and Saturday at 8pm.

Love has a particular trait: it has a task or purpose to fulfill - to abide. By its nature, love is enduring. The Holy Spirit offers our world love that dispels uncertainty; love that overcomes the fear of betrayal; love that carries eternity within; the true love that draws us into a unity that abides!Pope Benedict XVI
We are in a great night of the world. The thing is to know if we shall wake up to-morrow. We have only one succor we know of what the night is made. But shall we be able to impart our lucid faith, seeing that the heralds of warning are everywhere few, and that the greatest victims hate the only ideal which is not one, and call it utopian?Henri Barbusse
I love my gallant captain with all my heart and soul and might, and never will desert him, while God lets us be together. Oh, Mother, I never knew how much like heaven this world could be, when two people love and live for one another!Alcott, Louisa May
Novelists are perhaps the last people in the world to be entrusted with opinions. The nature of a novel is that it has no opinions, only the dialectic of contrary views, some of which, all of which, may be untenable and even silly. A novelist should not be too intelligent either, although he may be permitted to be an intellectual."Anthony Burgess
This is our in-house version of first world bullying in the global waring debate: i.e, We pollute, you pay.Arundhati Roy
Avarice is disgrace; cowardice is a defect; poverty often disables an intelligent man from arguing his case; a poor man is a stranger in his own town; misfortune and helplessness are calamities; patience is a kind of bravery; to sever attachments with the wicked world is the greatest wealth; piety is the best weapon of defence.Ali bin Abu-Talib
Now that the wars are coming to an end, I wish you to prosper in peace. May all mortals from now on live like one people in concord and for mutual advancement. Consider the world as your country, with laws common to all and where the best will govern irrespective of tribe. I do not distinguish among men, as the narrow-minded do, both among Greeks and Barbarians. I am not interested in the descendance of the citizens or their racial origins. I classify them using one criterion: their virtue. For me every virtuous foreigner is a Greek and every evil Greek worse than a Barbarian. If differences ever develop between you never have recourse to arms, but solve them peacefully. If necessary, I should be your arbitrator. You must not consider God like an autocratic despot, but as a common Father of all; so your behavior may resemble the life siblings have in a family. On my part I should consider all equals, white or blacks, and wish you all to be not only subjects of the Commonwealth, but participants and partners. As much as this depends on me, I should try to bring about what I promised. The oath we made over tonights libations hold onto as a Contract of Love.Alexander III
Knowledge was inherent in all things. The world was a library and its books were the stones, leaves, grass, brooks and the birds and animals that shared, alike with us ,the storms and blessings of the earth. We learn to do what only the student of nature ever learns, and that is to feel beauty. We never rail at the storms, the furious winds ,the biting frosts and snows. To do so intensifies human futility, so whatever comes we should adjust ourselves by more effort and energy if necessary, but without complaint. Bright days and dark days are both expressions of the Great Mystery, and the Indian reveled in being close the the Great Holiness.Chief Luther Standing Bear

All this world confusion and chaos was inevitable and no one is to blame. What had to happen has happened; and what has to happen will happen. There was and is no way out except through my coming in your midst. I had to come, and I have come. I am the Ancient One.Meher Baba
Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all, heavenly environment; of these, if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built.James Allen
By alienation is meant a mode of experience in which the person experiences himself as an alien. He has become, one might say, estranged from himself. He does not experience himself as the centre of his world, as the creator of his own acts - but his acts and their consequences have become his masters, whom he obeys, or whom he may even worship. The alienated person is out of touch with himself as he is out of touch with any other person. He, like the others, is experienced as things are experienced; with the senses and with common sense, but at the same time without being related to oneself and to the world outside positivelyErich Fromm

Rebound From A College Rejection!
Getting rejected from your number-one college is tough. But take it from these readers (who all didn't get accepted to their first choices): when your dream school doesn't work out, plan B can be so much better!
By Macey Hall
Trust That You'll Find Your Place
"Since eighth grade I've dreamed of being a University of Florida Gator. So when I didn't get accepted, I sobbed as my parents sat at the end of my bed to console me. Stuck on getting away from the snow, I only applied to schools in Florida. I ended up attending the University of Tampa, a much smaller school, with no football team and only 7,000 people—a very different environment than UF.
I'm now entering my senior year at the University of Tampa, and couldn't imagine going to UF—the campus is so enormous that I would feel lost. And with a smaller campus, I get much more attention that allows me to be a name to my professors, instead of a number. Plus, I love everything about my academic program. I couldn't ask for a better happy ending." —Arielle, 20, NJ

Is there any major difference for the 10man version of this?

Should work now. Alas, I dunno about 10-man. =(
Looking forward to see more of your Heroic guides, hopefully in close future.
One thing we found to work quite nicely is having a mage upstairs just before her smoldering devestation using mirror images, she will attack the images and not bombard the raid until the tank gets back up. Our spiderling/broodling combo was 1hunter/1healer per spot, as a single hunter can solo them quite easily - also leaves a few more dps for drones or upstairs. We have 3 hunters and 3 mages in our setup so granted this might not for everyone.
Hi Aliena thx for all your guides, in particular this one was way better than the other ones i found around ;D
we've been working on this boss for a couple of nights and at the start we tried a tactic like the one you're describing but we found out we needed almost all the melees we had downstairs for taunts: our prot warrior can taunt a lot of spinners but often has range issues, so we have the retris downstairs for most of the taunts. to get 5-6 melees upstairs would be almost impossible to us if we want spinners to be taunted quickly (if we dont we seem to get a lot more raid damage not to mention the stuns), and a mix of melees-casters wouldnt have a good optimization of the buffs... anyway apart all these details, how does your guild handle the taunts?
We'll be working on this one next week; post-nerf are their any significant changes to the mechanics of this fight (10 man)?
I can't watch the video at work, does the stun (Fiery Web Spin) from the Spinners happen immediately when the cast starts? Or is it like some of the Nerubian mobs from WotLK that webbed you slowly and then you became fully stunned after the cast/channel was finished? Also, do they stop the stun after they are taunted to the ground?
After working on this boss in 10 man for a few nights, I can safely say that the exploding broodlings are the hardest part of this encounter. When I was researching the fight for my raid I saw them mentioned, but I cannot stress to you enough how hard they make this fight. We haven't yet made it to p2, so I can't say much for it, although it does just look like a dps race. The downstairs team just gets roflstomped. It's not ho-hum oh look a broodling yawn. It's broodling oh crap another already? Constantly spawning bombs of death, I don't think you can take two consecutive bombs on the same person, without some serious heals. Did I mention constant broodlings? We have a hunter and a mage trying to alternate, we're going to drop a melee tomorrow night and try it with 3 ranged (on the bombs), because it feels like the only thing keeping us from killing this boss is our bomb exploders dying.
For 10 broodling control, my guild initially tried using a single rogue using various tricks to soak damage. It worked okay, but it usually required near constant attention from a healer and our rogue was effectively doing no damage (he could occasionally through out a fan of knives to help kill the little ads, but he never got much up-time on the drone). Ultimately, we ended up falling behind on drones just before P2 (plus our up-top team was pretty behind schedule).
I'm actually thinking of trying a different strategy tonight. Instead of sending the holy pally up top to heal, I'm thinking of sending the resto shaman up and having the holy pally soak broodlings. Hopefully this will prevent us from falling behind on ads. As of right now, I can't really find a problem in doing this, apart from putting a little more strain on our resto druid.
I've got a supplemental video (another tank POV) for the 10 man version of the encounter. We're also using a Rogue with a crazy spec to absorb the Broodlings, although our remaining floor DPS is still able to handily take down the Drones as they appear. The healing does get pretty crazy, I'll agree with that.
I wish I had a better view of the Broodlings for everyone but as the tank I had to chase the spinners around quite a bit, its fun but quite a chore.
Last edited by Outbackjack; 11-18-2011 at 12:19 PM. Reason: video embedding is borked
we use a lock and hunter for broodlings on 10 man, but we used to use a resto druid solo soaking them before quitting the game. for our first kill we sent an arcane mage up for the 1st and 3rd times upstairs to dps along with me (bear) and a resto shaman.
last week, we 2 healed it with a pally and priest and sending up a rogue and ret pally to dps upstairs and a lock/hunter to soak broodlings.

I am flying form New Orleans to Ft Lauderdale in a few weeks to go on a cruise. I will be flying on South West. Destination both ways. I was wondering about needles and a crochet hook. I will be taking patterns for both of those plus a tatting needle. What are my chances?? Having both of those with me in the carry bag, but I do not have to take them out keeps my mind busy as I fly.

Rebecca, I'm not sure if you've left for your trip already or not, but I definitely wouldn't try to "hide" your needles. The x-ray machine will see them anyway, and it makes you look a lot more suspicious (like you are up to no good and have something to hide) if it seems like you're trying to sneak something on board rather than simply being open about it. Metal clips, etc. are allowed, so I wouldn't worry about those. Pointed scissors have been banned since 9/11, but small rounded-top scissors are okay.
Hope you have/had a good trip!

The TSA website states that tools up to 7" long are allowed.
When I take tools for work they include; plyers, needle nose plyers, wire cutters (small dikes), a set of allen keys and a disassembled nutdriver/screwdriver. The inspectors appreciate it when I remove and open my small tool bag and send it through the x-ray so they can see the tools clearly.
You have no worries with paper clips and binder clips!!!
Have a fun, relaxing trip!

Thanks for the information. I am hoping that I can get some things done on the flight each way. I figure that it keeps me quiet, and calms me at the same time. My only other problem is getting my small paper clips and tiny binder clips through the security x-gaget. Then I think that I am home free. I generally like to copy a good many of my patterns by hand, so that I do not have to lug around, or lose my original pattern books. Those books just take up so much room to begin with.

I'm glad you decided to bring your knitting, you will be fine.
I've flown quite a bit with various knitting needles and a few tools for work and had no troubles at all.
SWA is one of the more knitter friendly airlines I've flown.
Knitting is a great way to pass the time at the gate and allows discreet people watching to boot.

I am taking some dish cloth patterns that call for a size 8. I bought 2 size 8-- 16 circulars. So I am going to hide one needle in a big magazine, and just take my chances with the other. I am flying in and out of Ft. Laud from N.O. The only thing that I have ever had taken in an airport was a small pair of scissors. That was back in 04. I was impressed as to why my tatting needles were not taken as well. They were about 6" long. I am sure that getting them on the Cruise ship is going to be a piece of cake.
Posted - 05/13/2010 : 11:46:02 AM
Rebecca, one more thing: I have had stuff from my checked bags go missing, though never my knitting. Honestly, I worry more about my checked yarn disappearing than losing my needles to TSA.
Posted - 05/13/2010 : 11:43:27 AM
Rebecca, don't be nervous about your needles. Like Clara, I've flown all over the US and four continents on many, many airlines (including Southwest) with my knitting and all kinds of needles since 9/11. I think that TSA realizes that knitting will keep knitters calm in flight. I've NEVER had an issue with needles in the US. I've had other stuff confiscated when I slipped up and forgot to move an officially forbidden item (eg liquids, a tiny Swiss Army knife) back into my checked bag.
If you're really worried (and I wouldn't be) you could take wooden/bamboo needles and/or inexpensive needles instead of metal. That way, if you did end up taking your knitting off the needles, you wouldn't lose expensive needles. But I find flying to be the perfect time to work on my knitting, and would never leave it out of my carry on unless I knew for certain that there would be a problem.
Two provisos:
1) As was already pointed out in this thread, some countries other than the US have different policies. The only time I ever had a problem was on an in-country flight in Chile (though after a bit of hassle, the knitting was allowed to be carried on anyway).
2) A couple of years ago, I pulled out my knitting in-flight, and a flight attendant came over to admire it. She then told me that, on that morning, another flight attendant had her very long circular needle confiscated by a TSA agent who claimed that circs longer than 32" were not permitted(!). I've never heard this before or since, and no one has ever measured my circs. However, just to be on the safe side, since that time I carry circs that are 32" or less.
Have a great trip!

Rebecca, I'm sorry you chose to go without your knitting. I will again say that I don't know anybody who has flown within the United States in, say, the last five years who's had any problems with their knitting needles. They're on the TSA's list of allowed items.
The problems still exist with international flights, as Richard noted about his trip to Mexico.

I just flew from Indianapolis to Sacramento a few days ago with my knitting needles and a crochet hook. I put my knitting kit (with scissors) in with my through baggage. My needles (in my backpack) were fine but they did confiscate my small ice pack! (I had packed a breakfast to save some time and money.)

For what it's worth, this past Dec we flew to Cancun,Mexico on Delta with knitting needles in tow. We had checked with Delta before our flight and their web site showed knitting needles were allowed.
WRONG. Yes, leaving the US they were ok, but returning from Mexico as we passed through the security checks they told us (the Mexican authorities) we had to surrender the needles.
Katie had a project on her needles so we just stood there while she moved all her stitches off onto a thread while the officials watched.

I have decided that I do not have to use them. I may just go ahead and put them in the suitcase to be safe.

I've flown all over the place in the U.S., even two weeks after 9/11 and also on Southwest Airlines, and I have never had my knitting needles questioned or confiscated. They are on the TSA's list of allowed items. As always, an individual TSA agent has final say in what gets through, but I think the issue of needles on domestic flights is pretty much over now. Anyone else have experiences otherwise lately?
