SunStat Sensor Wire is 15 Ft Long For Programmable or Non-Programmable Thermostats.
1 Sensor is included with each thermostat.
Customers ask: Do I need an extra floor sensor wire? We formerly recommended it. But, if you CHECK the resistance of the sensor, as indicated in the instructions, we don't feel it's necessary. Each sensor is labeled with instructions.
Some customers orders an extra sensor for 'peace of mind'. Although it is extremely rare for a sensor to fail, they think it is a reasonable precaution to install 2 sensor wires and they consider it cheap insurance.
If you choose to purchase 2 sensors, run both sensors from the control box to the floor below and then place them between the heating elements 12 inches or more into the heated portion of the floor. You can put them side by side, but connect only one to the thermostat control. If you ever need to replace a faulty sensor, you will have one at your fingertips; simply disconnect one, and connect the back-up.
All of our controls include a sensor wire; however, a spare can come in handy if yours gets lost or damaged during installation.
Each Thermostat Manufacturer uses a different sensor wire.

The AD862x is a precision JFET input amplifier. It features true single-supply operation, low power consumption, and rail-to-rail output. The outputs remain stable with capacitive loads of over 500 pF; the supply current is less than 630 µA/amp. Applications for the AD862x include photodiode transimpedance amplification, ATE reference level drivers, battery management, both line powered and portable instrumentation, and remote sensor signal conditioning including automotive sensors.
The AD862x's ability to swing nearly rail-to-rail at the input and rail-to-rail at the output enables it to be used to buffer CMOS, DACs, ASICs, and other wide output swing devices in single-supply systems.
The 5 MHz bandwidth and low offset are ideal for precision filters.
The AD862x is fully specified over the extended industrial (−40°C to +85°C) temperature range. The AD8627 is available in both 5-lead SC70 and 8-lead SOIC surface-mount packages. The SC70 packaged parts are available in tape and reel only. The AD8626 is available in MSOP.

Not only was the natural landscape of the mesa the inspiration for the design of the center, it was also the source of most of the construction materials. That probably explains why the structures look so authentic. The heavy vaulted ceilings of the domes contrast with the delicate walkways that meander through the center. Inside, the domes are daylit by a strong southern light that filter in through an opening in ceiling. Ponds in the area cool the air that naturally ventilates the buildings.
In addition to being made out of local materials, the center was constructed by unemployed local workers who were trained in the production of the stabilized earth tiles that were used to build it. These skills are now a part of the culture of the region, and the masons continue to use them and the leftover tiles for their houses in nearby villages. It's pretty amazing when a cultural center can actually write a piece of the story of the people it celebrates.

A 1.5% cost of living increase will be received starting with SSA and SSI checks received in January 2014. Customers receiving both SSA and SSI will receive a total increase of 1.5% for both benefits. In some cases, the amount of SSI may decrease due to the amount of the SSA increase. The maximum SSI amount increases from $710 to $721. The $30 SSI benefit for customers in long term care and shelter care facilities will remain the same.
The 2014 SSI/SSA benefit amount will be centrally budgeted for cash and SNAP effective March 2014 for customers included in central budgeting, and active for regular roll as of 10/10/13 under the following categories:
SNAP added to a cash or medical case will be centrally budgeted if the categorical case was active as of 10/10/13.
Central budgeting takes place toward the end of every month. The SSI/SSA increase will be centrally budgeted for cash and SNAP effective March 2014 on 01/29/14.
When a case includes more than one person and the information on BENDEX does not match the information in the Client Database (CDB) for all persons, central budgeting will occur for those persons in the case with matched information.
FCRC staff are not to adjust the SSA and SSI amounts for cash or SNAP for persons in central budgeting, even in cases being redetermined.
Local office staff are only responsible for budgeting the actual amount of the January 2014 SSA and/or SSI income for:
Use the SOLQ system to obtain SSA and SSI benefit information.
A case is excluded from central budgeting when there is a discrepancy between the amount of SSI/SSA received and the amount budgeted via SDX/BENDEX. Budget the amount claimed as actually received, as verified by the customer or confirmed by SOLQ.
See WAG 22-08-13 for excluding cases from central budgeting of SSI.
See WAG 22-08-14 for excluding cases from central budgeting of SSA.
At Intake, beginning with the fiscal month the increased SSA/SSI is received, use the increased SSA and/or SSI benefit to determine:

The Kentucky Kraze
Why in the name of Dr. James Naismith is Kentucky so basketball crazy?
Have you ever thought about that?
One of the big reasons is that it doesn't take a lot of youngsters to play the sport—five plus two or three more for a team.
We're talking about the early days of basketball in our high schools.
Every little community across the breadth of Kentucky had a high school and those schools had a team.
Not many had a gym.
Yes, games were played outside in all kinds of weather.
Carr Creek High School in the remote hills of Knott County had our first famous team.
The Creekers had no gym and no uniforms — but let's skip ahead a little.
In the regional tournament that was played at Eastern Kentucky State College in Richmond, the mountain team was so popular that Eastern faculty members and some Richmond fans took up a collection and bought uniforms for the mountain boys to wear in the State Tournament at the University of Kentucky.
Carr Creek kept on winning until it was to meet a much bigger school, Ashland.
The teams battled through five overtimes before the Tomcats of Ashland finally won 13-11.
But that was just the start.
Both Ashland and Carr Creek were invited to the national tournament which was held at the University of Chicago.
By then almost every Kentuckian was pulling for Carr Creek. At that time, very few radio stations were in Kentucky.
Fans all over Kentucky gathered at the nearest Western Union office to get reports each time a team scored.
The Creekers finally lost but they came back to Kentucky as conquering heroes.
On the way back via rail, the team stopped in Louisville. Judge Robert Worth Bingham, the owner of The Courier-Journal, arranged a huge banquet for the team in Kentucky's biggest city, which adopted the mountain boys.
Many years later, Morton Combs, who coached Carr Creek to the state championship in 1956 took me to the site of the old school. The outdoor area where Carr Creek played its games, was on a hill side with a creek below.
I asked Morton what happened when the ball went down the hill and into the creek. The last boy to shoot or who touched the ball had to go get it.
Morton said, "That's why we were such good shooters!"
When many of the schools didn't have gyms, they would go — during the school day — and practice "ball" as basketball was referred to throughout the mountains.
Also, some of the bigger schools, especially Hazard High, liked to take great players from surrounding schools.
Some schools took it as a badge of honor if one of their players was good enough to play for Hazard High. Johnny Cox of Letcher County transferred to Hazard and led that team to the state championship. He went on to the University of Kentucky and led the Wildcats to the NCAA championship.
Ted Hornback played for little Sonora High near Elizabethtown. When he was the famed Ed Diddle's assistant at what is now Western Kentucky University, I interviewed him for my state-wide TV show.
He told a fascinating story about his Sonora team playing another little school that had uniforms.
"My mother made a uniform for me out of my overalls."
When his teammates saw his uniform, they got their mothers to do the same thing for them.
What about basketball for the girls?
Glad you asked.
The first tournament for girls started in 1920, two years after the boys started.
But the girls' tournaments were discontinued after the 1932 tournament and didn't return until 1975 when Butler High won.
Public schools stopped playing, but Catholic schools kept the sport alive. Now even the tiniest of schools play.
The success of Adolph Rupp at UK and Ed Diddle at Western added to the popularity of the sport.
When the late Cawood Ledford started broadcasting UK games on 50,000-watt WHAS in Louisville, he contributed greatly to the growth of basketball.
And now that most games are televised, the sky is the limit for "ball."

Dear Mr. Cox,
Glad to see my Grandfather is still remembered in the press. I enjoy periodically reading your stories about Kentucky Basketball, especially the great players and coaches. My two brother and I loved visiting Bowling Green and WKU when we were kids through high school. We also never tired of the basketball, tennis, track and field and the players my grandfather told us about. We were absolutely captivated by his stories of his life and coaching.
While playing junior high basketball in Sacramento, CA we had a new player transfer in to school and I showed up to practice with a red WKU Hilltoppers Basketball T-shirt on and was questioned by the new guy where I got the shirt. The new guy turned out to be Keith Smith the son former Hilltopper basketball player Gregg Smith, brother of Dwight Smith. After high school Keith Smith went on to play on scholarship for University of California Berkeley.
Thank you,
Jim Hornback

Ekurhuleni Bakery recieves funding from Peermont
09 November 2012
The objective of the EPCoCT is to do grant-funding to small and micro enterprises and self-help projects designed to uplift the socio-economic status of the poor and marginalized people within the Ekurhuleni Municipality.
The EPCoCT has approved grant-funding of up to R7.5 million (Seven and Half Million Rand) in the financial year that ended on 29 February 2012. Sixteen organizations, which directly employ about 151 people, have benefitted from this Peermont enterprise development initiative. Since inception in 2008, the EPCoCT has disbursed over R15 million (Fifteen Million Rand) in support of SMMEs that have demonstrated a potential to empower local businesses, grow the economy and create sustainable jobs.
Founded in 2006 by five local women, the Khuphukani Bakery produces a variety of products, including freshly baked scones, assorted muffins and biscuits, cream cakes, fruit loaves, pies and snowballs. The women owners of the business have established a loyal customer base through exceptional product quality, freshly baked goods and competitive pricing. The delicious products appeal to schools, weddings, burial societies and the general public.
The five directors of Khuphukani have expressed their gratitude and have added that they endeavor to grow the business and create much needed job opportunities for the local community.
"Efforts such what we witnessing today, will go a long way towards the elimination of hunger and poverty, whilst at the same time creating jobs for the local community. There is no better way of eliminating the remaining gender disadvantages in all spheres of lives than the economic empowerment of women. Empowering a woman is empowering a nation – and we need to see increased efforts at accelerating economic opportunities for women," opined Vusi Zwane, Peermont's Group Corporate Affairs Executive.

REPORT: BMW developing new 0 Series on Mini platform
by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) on Oct 8th, 2009 at 2:32PM
The BMW 3 Series, once the smallest car in the company's catalog, has grown tremendously over the past few generations. So to meet demand for smaller vehicles, the Bavarian automaker has been continuously cranking out smaller models to slot in below it. Reports now indicate that BMW is preparing a new 0 Series to bridge the gap between the 1 Series and the Mini. According to the reports, BMW will base the new 0 Series on the next Mini's platform, which tells us two things: first, that it will break with company convention and go front-wheel-drive, and second, that they're planning on...

About the Model WL17Devonshire - Hand crafted with solid spruce top, maple back and sides. Hand inlaid purfling. Lacquer varnish. Set up in our shop with Prelude strings, ebony fingerboard and pegs, select maple bridge, and a composite tailpiece. thermoplastic case, 2301H fiberglasss bow with horsehair, rosin, Corpus China. Available sizes: 11"-16".
The solid carved spruce top provides an excellent sound board. The maple back and sides enhance greater projection as well as a refined tonal quality. True ebony pegs and fingerboard (not stained hardwood) facilitates reliable function and playability for many years. Full hand inlaid purfling (not painted) protects the solid top and back plates from splitting damage and demonstrates an attention to detail that other brands overlook. The hard lacquer finish gives durability for beginning students not yet familiar with the delicate nature of a stringed instrument. Each instrument is set up by hand in our Cleveland Ohio facility to meet or exceed MENC (school requirements) for student instruments to give the player the best possible performance experience and inspiration. USA installed D'Addario Prelude strings provide a better tonal quality, longer string life and maximum playability. A good quality maple German Teller bridge is carved so the feet match the top plate curvatures closely to transfer the most string vibration possible to produce the best tone and volume. A composite tailpiece with four integrated fine tuners makes the fine tuning of all strings easy and convenient for the student and teacher. A fiberglass bow gives the student a reliable camber without warping. The Mongolian horsehair ensures that the rosin adheres well and gives an even draw to the bow across the strings. The tough student friendly thermoplastic case with aluminum valance is an industry standard to protect the instrument from weather elements and minor mishaps.
William Lewis & Son is one of the oldest stringed instrument brands still in production. The fine violinist, William Lewis was born in Devonshire, England in 1837 and moved to the US in 1850 residing near Bellevue, Ohio. Lewis was a violin prodigy performing concerts at only 8 years old. In 1862, he moved to Chicago and worked for the music house of Root & Cady which was destroyed in 1871 by the Great Chicago Fire. Ebenezer Towner Root then became a partner with William Lewis and formed the music house know as Root and Lewis.
Then in 1874, William Lewis, concerned by the lack of quality instruments and service available for his students, formed the Chicago Music Company with new partners Newell and Gibbs. Located in the heart of the Chicago business district, players from the finest symphony orchestras in the world would often visit Lewis' shop to have their own instruments appraised or serviced. Amati, Guarneri, and Stradivarius instruments were commonly in inventory.
William later renamed the business Wm. Lewis Company in 1886 and then eventually to Wm. Lewis & Son in 1896. Fred Lewis succeeded his father as president of the company. In 1995, the 121 year old string maker was purchased by the Selmer

3rd Annual Graduate Student Symposium: Buddhist Ritual, Buddhist Culture
|April 13, 2013
|1:00 pm
|5:00 pm
The Institute of Buddhist Studies' 3rd Annual Graduate Student Symposium
Generously co-sponsored by the Graduate Theological Union's Asia Project
and The Numata Foundation
April 13, 2013, 1 pm – 5 pm
We are pleased to announce 3rd Annual Graduate Student Symposium at the Institute of Buddhist Studies. Our theme this year is "Buddhist Ritual, Buddhist Culture." Buddhist ritual practices are shaped by their location and are affected by the ritual objects. How does the material world determine the ways that Buddhism is practiced? How do Buddhists use ritual objects? In turn, how does Buddhism shape these objects and transform the physical world? What is the impact, for example, on the physical world as a result of religious pilgrimage or tourism? How do Buddhists transform physical objects in the process of ritualization? This symposium will focus on these themes and will consider both historical and contemporary uses of material objects in Buddhist ritual, Buddhism's impact on cultural materials, and the relationships between Buddhism and sacred objects.
The symposium will feature a keynote address by Prof. Justin McDaniel of the University of Pennsylvania. Prof. McDaniel's talk is generously supported by the Numata Foundation.
The event will be held on Saturday, April 13, beginning at 1 pm, at the Jodo Shinshu Center in Berkeley, CA.
This event is free and open to the public. Please visit our Facebook event page to RSVP or drop a note in the comments below.
Keynote Address:
Architects of Buddhist Leisure
Justin McDaniel, University of Pennsylvania
The rise of Asian economies over the 20th and 21st centuries has not only brought market competition and political influence, but also the rise of a "leisure class." Buddhism, usually described as an austere religion which condemns desire and promotes monasticism and denial, has not been the subject of the history of leisure. There has been little investigation of Buddhist pleasures or pastimes. However, Buddhist leisure activities, Buddhist tourism, and Buddhist material products are common parts of Asian culture. Indeed, some of the first tourist books and souvenir shops in Asia were marketed and owned by practicing Buddhists in Bangkok, Kyoto, and Singapore. Novels and coffee-table books about Buddhist tourists and pleasure-seekers have been popular in Thai, Chinese, and Japanese history. Buddhist monasteries across Asia are sites of playgrounds, sports-fields, and shopping bazaars. Over the past seventy years, Buddhist comic books, films, and soap-operas have flourished on Asian airwaves. Indeed, many of the ways Buddhist children first learn about their religion is not in the strict confines of a monastic training center, but through Buddhist leisure activities like singing songs, family trips, martial arts camps, and beauty contests. These creative religious improvisations and public culture of Buddhism in Asia is often built on the idea that Buddhist practice and leisure activities go hand-in-hand.
This short talk focuses on the work of three architects of Buddhist public and leisure spaces in Nepal, Singapore, and Thailand and is designed to start a discussion about the very idea of Buddhist leisure space in modern Asia.
Justin McDaniel studies ghosts and manuscripts in Asia. After living and researching in South and Southeast Asia for many years as a translator, archivist, amulet collector, volunteer teacher, and Buddhist monk.

2. About the Author
Juno - when I needed a penname,one of my cats graciously agreed to share her name with me, and I became Juno. Magic - although I do believe in magic, especially in the magic woven with words and songs and stories, the magical part of my penname derives simply from my e-mail address.
Speaking of my e-mail address: it is Juno_Magic at magic dot ms - please feel free to mail me!
In a letter to the editor of the 'Observer' Tolkien wrote "I am as susceptible as a dragon to flattery". I guess the same can be said for most writers! I readily admit that I thoroughly enjoy answering questions about my writing. Constructive criticism aka concrit is vital for any author wishing to improve, so don't hesitate to tell me about something you did not like, either!
"The Lord of the Rings" has been in my life since I was five years old and my mother grew bored with what was regarded as "appropriate bed time tales" for me. Twenty-four years later I discovered "online fan fiction" and I was immediately fascinated. As I have been writing original stories ever since I learned how to write, it felt natural to give fan fiction a try.
When I write stories set in Middle-earth, I attempt to explore the wonderful world Tolkien created, its roads and mountains, its rich culture and history. And I endeavour to look beyond what Tolkien wrote, far to the East, where the stars are strange, or to the Fourth Age of Middle-earth.
The "Juniverse":
In a letter to Milton Waldmann Tolkien said that his stories "(...) should be linked to a majestic whole, and yet leave scope for other minds and hands, wielding paint and music and drama."
My stories are certainly not majestic, but somehow most of them are indeed connected in some way, thus creating my own alternative "Juniverse" of Tolkien's cosmos.
If you want to know more about my stories and me, I'd like to invite you to my website: "Juno's Magic" and to my LiveJournal: "Juno's Magic: To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." (quote from Alfred Lord Tennyson).
When I'm not JunoMagic, I'm at home in a small Frankonian village with my husband and two cats. I have a professional qualification in law, and a bachelor degree in political sciences and history. Oh - and in case you were wondering: English is actually my third language.

One of the greatest TV comedies of the 20th century celebrated last night the 20th Anniversary Special of Absolutely Fabulous and aired on BBC America and Logo TV channels.
The plans for a 20th anniversary revival includes three new episodes. The first episode ran last night Sunday, January 8th with the second episode planned to air sometimes in spring 2012, and the third and final special is set to coincide with the 2012 London Olympics.
This British sitcom was created and written by Jennifer Saunders, who plays the leading character Edina Monsoon (Eddy), a heavy-drinking, drug-abusing PR agent who desperately attempt to stay young and "hip." Joanna Lumley in the role of Patsy Stone, is Eddy's best friend, whose drug abuse, alcohol consumption, and promiscuity far exceeded Eddy's comparatively mild self-destructive behavior.
These two high-powered London career women use their financial freedom to lead dysfunctional lifestyle of pill-popping, alcohol drinking and chain-smoking cigarettes, captured the hearts of millions viewers all around the world. With superb writing, great casting and directing, Absolutely Fabulous became an overnight success and inspired many of us in our own lives.
This codependent relationship between the two women made us fall in love with their wacky personalities, while we accepted them for the way they are and identified with their personal crisis. We learned to forgive them for their bad habits that made us laugh so many times over the last twenty years. Eddy and Patsy instantly became one of our favorites TV duos of all times.
The first episode was not a reunion or a come back. It just was another day in the life of Eddy and Patsy the crazy middle-age women who refuse to come to terms with real life.
It is hard to believe what happened to the last twenty years by looking at both women who still look great. Eddy and Pasty are still amazing, and they will always be absolutely fabulous!

UPDATE: CENTRAL CITY, Ky. (7/14/14) — The woman KSP charged in the shooting death of her ex-husband has been incarcerated after being hospitalized for ingesting a large quantity of prescription medications.
According to a Kentucky State Police report released Monday, July 14, Brenda M. Hardin was released from Muhlenberg Community Hospital Saturday, July 12 and lodged in the Muhlenberg Detention Center at about 9:41 a.m., Saturday, July 12.

UPDATE: CENTRAL CITY, Ky. (7/8/14) — An arrest warrant for the person allegedly responsible for the death of a Central City man Monday night has been issued.
According to a Kentucky State Police report Tuesday afternoon, KSP Det. Lonnie Kavanaugh's investigation resulted in an arrest warrant for Brenda M. Hardin, 61, Central City, in the death of her ex-husband, Ronnie E. Hardin, 64, Central City.
An autopsy was performed at the State Medical Examiner's Office Tuesday in Madisonville, which revealed that Ronnie E. Hardin died from a single gunshot.
Brenda M. Hardin was charged with murder-domestic violence, a Class A Felony, and tampering with physical evidence, a Class D Felony. She is in the intensive care unit at Muhlenberg Community Hospital due to the ingestion of multiple prescription medications.
Rita Dukes Smith
SurfKY News Director
CENTRAL CITY, Ky. (7/8/2014) ― A Central City man was found dead in a building next to his residence at 904 W. Whitmer St., Central City, around 7:38 p.m. Monday, July 7.
In addressing the press at the scene, Kentucky State Police spokesman Stu Recke said the name would not be officially released until all proper notification was made. At 1:57 a.m., Recke released the victim's name.
Muhlenberg County Deputy Coroner Ricky King pronounced Ronnie Hardin, 64, dead at the scene.
Recke told SurfKY News that the death is under investigation. He would not reveal the manner of death nor if suspects have been identified.
"I cannot confirm anything right now except it is a death investigation," said Recke. "Investigators are on the scene now, and that's where it stands."
An autopsy is scheduled with the State Medical Examiner in Madisonville for today, July 8.
The investigation is being handled by Detective Lonnie Kavanaugh of the Kentucky State Police. The Central City Police Department, the Muhlenberg County Sheriff's Department and the Muhlenberg County Coroner's Office assisted at the scene.

I added this warbringer macro
#show charge
/castsequence reset=15 Battle Stance, Berserker Stance
/cast [stance:3] Intercept; [stance:1] Charge;
Heres another macro question :
/castsequence reset=40 Shield Block, !Heroic Strike
How do I make it work so that by default it casts shield block, and will switch to heroic strike, when shield block on cd. Once 40 seconds is up, it goes back to shield block.
And repeat.
It currently doesnt work. I have also tried a few variance but none seems to work. They either dont switch back to shield block or they allow once a few heroic strikes an reset before 40 seconds.
Thank you in advance.
I added this warbringer macro
#show charge
/castsequence reset=15 Battle Stance, Berserker Stance
/cast [stance:3] Intercept; [stance:1] Charge;
Hey quick question, I'm trying to do a Shield Block, Shield Slam Macro, but everyone I try or create continues to show the Shield block Cool-down and not the preferred Shield Slam
Ewanar: add this to your macro..
#show Shield Slam
Awesome thanks you, now would this be right?
/#showtooltip Shield Slam
/Cast Shield Block
/Cast Shield Slam
(in getting the tooltip to show as well?)
I'm quite the noob to Macroing stuff,
The only other question I'd have is where would the ? go to change the icon to whatever (in this case Shield Slam)
I'm by no means a macro guru, but I think this should work:
choose icon with '?' and type in
#showtooltip Shield Slam
/Cast Shield Block
/Cast Shield Slam
I'm trying to make a macro for when its all gone to hell and ur trying to stay alive long enough for that extra heal :-
/cast Last Stand
/cast Lifeblood
/use Fel Healthstone
/use Crazy Alchemist's Potion
/use Resurgent Potion
/cast Shield Wall
but it just doesn't seem to work right I'm lvl 74 btw so no ER as yet, basically it seems not to work as i would like to use both shield wall and last stand.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

What you can try is this:
a.) Use a /castsequence macro, where you cast Recklessness first, then cast Execute a set number of times. The downside is that you have only a set number of Executes.
b.) Use a [mod:<key>] conditional on Recklessness. The only thing this changes is that it puts Recklessness and Execute on the same button, though. If, for instance, you put [mod:alt] or [mod:shift] in the macro, you'd only use Recklessness if you pressed the corresponding modifier key first.
The best way is simply to learn to cast Recklessness first.
Ewanar, you do not need to put the abilities on seperate cast lines. Writing the following works just as well:
#showtooltip Shield Slam
/cast Shield Block; Shield Slam

Dovie'andi se tovya sagain - it's time to roll the dice
Ok, I just started a Warrior (Pally is my main) and I have read thru all 15 pages here.... I have a Macro to switch to Def. Stance AND switch to my one handed sword as well as my shield... The problem is that when I hit this button it works but after my shield gets on it unequips right after.
Does any know of a Macro that works for shifting into Def. Stance and equips your tanking sword and board??
This is the macro I have so far, it works but I have to hit it twice to get my shield back on.I would like to hit it only once if possible....
#showtooltip Defensive Stance
/cast Defensive Stance
/equipslot 16 Haggard's Sword
/equipslot 17 Militia Buckler
I just went in to test that macro, since it should work -- and it does for me. :/
I tried equipping a two-handed weapon, and went into Battle stance -- it immediately switched me to Def stance and equipped my MH and shield after only clicking it once.

Dovie'andi se tovya sagain - it's time to roll the dice
Hmmm... thats weird it works now. I deleted all of the outfits in Outfitter and it seems to work now. Thank you Norrath ^_^ I thought I was going crazy.
I didn't read the whole thread, so please don't crucify me. I'm relatively new to tanking, as I did no BC raids, and only one heroic. However I've tanked everything in WOTLK excluding 25 OS, naxx, and EoE. I've done all this without a single macro or addon. Is there a tutorial or list of basic macros i can use to make my tanking life easier, and my fingers less sore?
Thanx in advance.
the actual guide is the first post on this thread lol
yes, i saw that after i posted, please excuse my stupidity.
Most of the time I've been macro free, some macro's I liked were made obsolete. Such as the one button all health-stone. Which only one HS, no need for the macro.
Anyway let the crucifixion begin, also thanks, I finally toyed around with it and got it working perfectly!
I'm looking for an updated (i.e., Warbringer-friendly) macro that would allow the use of Charge/Intervene (target of target) and Intercept (mod:alt). How would this be scripted?
DW-Prot never looked so sexy...
Is there still no way to set the tab distance?
script SetCVar("targetNearestDistance", 10)
/script SetCVar("targetNearestDistance", 41)
Has not worked since 3.0 =(
Last edited by Juon; 01-31-2009 at 08:12 PM. Reason: testing the macro : results
If you remove [modifier:ctrl], it will automatically intervene instead of charge if the mob has a player targeted. It prob will do nothing if you are the one being targeted.
ill use:
/cast revenge
/cast heroic strike
whith this macro i got the heroic strike button above, so i can see if it is activated. using it a lot, because it is no CD skill.
if heroic strike button isnt activated, i spam revenge button. may be overreacted, but it works, got lots of rage and can always use it for better threat.

ATLANTA (AP) -- The Atlanta Hawks have waived forward James Johnson.
The 6-foot-9 Johnson appeared in four preseason games for the Hawks, averaging 1.5 points and 12 minutes per outing. He shot just 16.7 percent from the field.
Last season, Johnson played 26 games for Sacramento. He also has played for Chicago and Toronto in his four-year NBA career.
The waiving of Johnson leaves 17 players on Atlanta's training camp roster.

iPhone Game Review: The Jim and Frank Mysteries - The Blood River Files

iPhone Game Review: The Jim and Frank Mysteries - The Blood River Files
Reviewed by SpaZtrigger
Have you ever wished that there would be an app very similar to the famous DS franchise, Professor Layton? Well with The Jim and Frank Mysteries - The Blood River Files all your prayers are answered. The Jim and Frank Mysteries is an adventure game that heavily features puzzles as well as the interactive gameplay.
The story begins with Jim anxiously waiting for his friend Frank to celebrate his birthday. After Frank arrives, Jim opens up the letter that his grandfather gave him and the adventure of Jim and Frank begins. You have to find clues and solve mind bending puzzles in order to find out the whereabouts of Jim's grandfather. In the beginning the puzzles are fairly simple, but as the levels progress, the puzzles get increasingly difficult. For every puzzle you solve, the game rewards you with some gold nuggets. The amount of gold nuggets will increase depending on how hard the puzzle is. You will also obtain a piece of a photograph sometimes after you solve a puzzle, and after you?ve collected all the pieces and put them all together, you will unlock bonus content. But be aware, there is penalty also: each time you make a wrong move at solving the puzzles you can also lose some gold nuggets. So think before your action.
The puzzles in The Jim and Frank Mysteries ? The Blood River Files are extremely similar to the ones in Professor Layton except for the design. Much like in Professor Layton, The Jim and Frank Mysteries has some very difficult puzzles, and if you ever get stumped, the game offers help that moves you along to the next adventure instead of having you stuck in one spot in the game. You can buy yourself a hint using "eurekas" or you can skip the entire puzzle by using 15-30 "eurekas". You will find Eurekas scattered throughout the game in each level, but save them up as much as you can for the real tough puzzles. While some of the puzzles are challenge, they are fun to play. It will give your brain a strong workout without having to deal with math like in Brain Age.
In addition to the main story, The Jim and Frank Mysteries ? The Blood River Files also offers extras with loads of content. The main story mode is already pretty long, the extra content adds even more playtime that will make Professor Layton look like extremely over priced. The touch controls in The Jim and Frank Mysteries work very well, you tap to interact and drag items to solve puzzles.
Graphics & Sound
People who have played Professor Layton will agree with me when I say that The Jim and Frank Mysteries ? The Blood River Files is almost exact clone of Professor Layton in gameplay, and that?s a compliment considering Professor Layton was an exceptional game. From graphics standpoint, The Jim and Frank Mysteries ? The Blood River Files takes a different approach however. While Professor Layton looked like something out of an anime, The Jim and Frank Mysteries looks like a cartoon. A very good looking cartoon, that is. The drawings are top notch; colors are bright and eye catching.
While gameplay is similar, you can tell these two games apart easily by background music. The music in Professor Layton sounds mysterious, and the music in The Jim and Frank mysteries sounds medieval and joyful. The tracks are well arranged and looped, and it?s a joy to listen to while trying to solve puzzles. Sound FX also compliments the gameplay well.
If you are a puzzle fan, this game is hard to pass up. If you like Professor Layton type of game, this is definitely a title to play. Though there are many puzzles are very similar to the ones in Professor Layton, the game has enough new content to keep you interested. Currently the game carries an introductory price. So if this is your cup of tea, get it now before the price goes up.
Ratings (scale of 1 to 5):
Graphics: - 5 -
Original and well made.
Sound: - 5 -
Great music, option to play your own iPod music.
Controls: - 5 -
Super easy to use, intuitive and no glitches.
Gameplay: - 4.5 -
A long story with ton of gameplay. Too similar to Professor Layton?s gameplay for players who have beat that game.
Playing Hints and Tips:
- Look carefully at your surroundings since you can find 2 eurekas in an area.
- Save your eurekas for really hard puzzles later in the game.

Revenue Department Recommends Filing Early, Filing Electronically
For many years the general tax filing rule has been to file early for a quick refund. And the new companion rule is to file electronically for a quicker refund. Last year, more than 47% percent of South Carolina's taxpayers filed their state return electronically and received their tax refund in about two weeks.
Filing early, especially if you file a paper return, can help you receive a refund more quickly by avoiding the tax season deadline rush. Filing electronically, no matter when you file, can also reduce by about six to eight weeks the time if takes to receive a refund. That's because the filing information goes directly into Department of Revenue computers, dramatically speeding up the processing time.
More than 978,000 taxpayers filed electronically last year, or 47% of the total returns filed. With the interest in electronic filing increasing each year, the Department believes more than half of the returns received this year will be filed electronically.
There are three ways to file electronically in South Carolina: Taxpayers can have a professional tax preparer file electronically for them; they can use available commercial software to file at their computer; or they can file their state return only using the SCnetFile icon at the Department of Revenue Web site, www.sctax.org.
If you owe taxes, you may opt to have the Department of Revenue withdraw money from your bank checking or savings account at a time selected by you. The option is called Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFW).
While filing electronically insures a quicker refund, it also is a money-saver
for the state. Because of the number of people filing electronically, the Department has been able to reduce the number of seasonal workers employed each year to help process tax returns. Filing electronically also cuts down on printing costs and costs related to storing paper returns.
In 1991, South Carolina became the first state to offer its taxpayers joint federal and state electronic filing. For more than 10 years after pioneering electronic filing, South Carolina led the nation in the percentage of taxpayers who chose to file by computer and has remained one of the top two or three states in that category ever since.
For several years the Department of Revenue has extended the tax filing deadline to encourage South Carolinians to file electronically. This year the tax deadline is May 2 for those who file electronically. The deadline applies even if you owe taxes. (It is important to note, however, that the extended deadline applies only to electronic filers and does not apply to federal returns. The federal tax deadline remains April 15.)

PARK(ing) Day 2010 was a resounding success -- at SPUR, in San Francisco and around the world. SPUR's PARK(ing) spot used milk crates, giant wooden spools, house plants and a colorful painted canvas to transform two parking spaces in front of the Urban Center into a delightful urban park.

PARK(ing) Day is a yearly, worldwide event that encourages urban residents to transform parking spots into temporary public spaces.
Many who joined the latest SPUR study trip to San Jose were impressed to see how much the city has changed physically in the past few decades. These changes have helped accommodate considerable population growth - San Jose grew from under 100,000 residents in 1950 to 460,000 in 1970 to nearly 800,000 today.
Across the Bay Area, only one in 10 commuters takes transit to work each day. And half of those transit commuters go to one job center: downtown San Francisco. But since most work is outside of downtowns, SPUR is trying to understand a little more about emerging suburban and non-downtown job centers.

This post is the first in an occasional series that hopes to make sense of the issues surrounding the implementation of California's smart growth law, SB 375.
DIY Urbanism is a movement that arose in part from projects born out of the recession and resulting limited funds. But one project that has a more direct link than most is the San Francisco Arts Council's Art in Storefronts program.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Love shouldn't be a sentiment expressed only once a year on Valentine's Day. Rather, many folks believe it's important to celebrate love every day through respect, compassion, support and kind gestures.
According to Diana Wegh of Fruita, she's been married almost 41 years to husband Sam.
"It would be 44 years if only he would have accepted the first time I proposed!" she said. "We cherish and respect one another, and we say 'I love you' a zillion times a day and mean it!"
Wegh also noted that, on their wedding day, they vowed to follow each other's dreams and they've kept that promise.
"We haven't always succeeded in our endeavors, but sharing the adventure of pursuing our hopes and dreams has made our rough roads bearable and our victories are so much sweeter," she said.
Others asked about life-long marriage said it isn't always easy. But, not sweating the small stuff and staying on the same page makes the road seem less bumpy.
Robin Sanchez, a Cedaredge woman who's been married 27 years, said communication is key to her relationship.
"Never cuss at each other, over anything, ever!" Sanchez said. "That means you've lost respect for your spouse. Don't do that. Honor, cherish and love one another. Marriage is hard work, but every time you work through hard times, you grow together! Never give up and take the D (divorce) word out of your vocabulary. If you don't give yourself an out, you'll be forced to work through it."
She also noted that saying "I love you!" often is important to her romantic relationship.
"We never hang up the phone or go to bed without saying 'I love you!' We try to never go to sleep angry. I think we both work hard on putting the other person first, not ourselves, and making our time together (our) number-one priority. ... We try and keep communication open and allow the other to speak freely, (and) even when it hurts we try (to) talk it out. We agree to disagree!"
And then there's Grand Junction resident Rebecca Arhelger, who took a lighthearted approach to sharing her happy relationship secret.
"(We) keep our fights clean and our alone time dirty," she said.
Since she's been married 17 years, we'll take her at her word.
"(Valentine's Day) is for kids," she added. "Happy couples celebrate every day."
While Valentine's Day is generally viewed as a celebration of romantic love, Grand Junction resident Eric Niederkruger said the holiday is also a great time to honor everyone he cares about.
"It's absolutely crucial to love yourself first," he said. "If you don't, you may end up turning things around and not seeing love around you. Everybody needs love; the more the better."
"I loved making Valentine boxes in elementary school, (secretly fearing I would receive none)," Niederkruger added.
Meg Read of Grand Junction agreed with the concept of celebrating everyone she cares about on Valentine's Day.
"I think people who are not particularly enthusiastic about Valentine's Day are not bashing the concept; they do not like what it is evolved to be," she said. "The people in my life know I love them every day, and even if I didn't have a significant other, I could still celebrate Valentine's Day by reaching out to those I love a bit more."
Read additionally noted that understanding, compromise and forgiveness are key components to keeping love alive on a daily basis.
"We all make mistakes, and nobody is perfect," Read said. "If people cannot learn to love each other with all of our faults and issues, we will never learn how to love at all."
Another Grand Junction resident, Marilee Glencoe, said she'd be lost without all the love she has in her life.
"I am the luckiest woman in the world with my husband, my kids, and my animals," Glencoe said, who's celebrating her five-year wedding anniversary this month.
When asked how to keep love and compassion alive in her relationship, she said "for us, (it's) to not worry about the small things. Whiskers on the sink and shoes left out are so petty and not worth getting mad at your spouse over. We try to take out time for ourselves and find time every day to curl up to each other and have a laugh."

United States
With more than twenty-five distinguished faculty members in the field of U.S. history, the UCLA Department of History offers one of the country's broadest, most diverse, and successful graduate programs in the subject. Faculty expertise ranges from the pre-colonial history of the Americas to the present. The faculty believes that students in our field should receive a common core education in U.S. history as well as having the opportunity to expand and rethink the field through further training and research that is individualized, specialized, and creative. We encourage interdisciplinary, transnational, and comparative study to take advantage of UCLA's renowned strengths, not just in the History Department, which is the largest and perhaps most comprehensive in the country, but also across the humanities, social sciences, arts, and, where appropriate, the sciences.
Resources for graduate study at UCLA are exceedingly rich. The Young Research Library is one of the five largest in the nation, and there are additional superb rare book collections in all periods of American history at the nearby Huntington and Clark libraries. Furthermore, UCLA is home to an array of interdisciplinary research centers and programs, many of which run lecture series, hold conferences, sponsor research programs, offer classes, and provide fellowships to graduate students in corresponding fields of study. US history graduate students have been especially active in the Center for the Study of Women, the Institute of Industrial Relations, and the four research centers for American ethnic studies (the Chicano Studies Research Center, Bunche Center for African American Studies, American Indian Studies Center, and Asian-American Studies Center). Students have also interacted with Area Studies research centers (Centers for African Studies, Southeast Asian Studies, Japanese Studies, etc), Environmental Studies, Seventeenth and Eighteenth Century Studies, and more that could not be listed comprehensively. These centers and their programs offer excellent opportunities for inter-disciplinary research and discussion.
Full-time faculty include:
Stephen Aron, Eric Avila, Scot Brown, Ellen Carol DuBois, Juan Gomez-Quinones, Kelly Lytle Hernandez, Frank Tobias Higbie, Sanford M. Jacoby, Robin D.G. Kelley, Naomi Lamoreaux, Valerie Matsumoto, Michael Meranze, Janice L. Reiff, Michael Salman, Brenda Stevenson, Joan Waugh, Mary A. Yeager, and Craig Yirush.
Special Note for Students Who Matriculated Before Fall Quarter, 2007
Please click here to see the old U.S Field Requirements
Degree Requirements:
As a candidate for the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees, a student must meet (a) the general requirements set forth by the Graduate Division and (b) the specific requirements of the field that follow here. We confer M.A. degrees along the way to the Ph.D. We do not offer a separate M.A. program or admit students only for the purpose of obtaining an M.A.
Course Requirements:
In accord with university regulations set forth by the Graduate Division, a minimum of nine courses must be completed to be eligible for the M.A. degree and Ph.D. degree. Courses taken to fulfill M.A. degree requirements may also be used to satisfy Ph.D. requirements. These courses should be completed in the first two years of graduate study. The U.S. history program maintains the following particular requirements:
Core seminar series:
Students are required to take History 246 A, B, and C, the core seminar series for first-year students in the U.S. field. The 246 series is intended to provide a broad core survey of U.S. history and historiography, as well as an opportunity to develop critical skills in historical interpretation, analysis, and a wide discussion of methodologies in historical scholarship. The 246 series should prepare you to begin study for the written comprehensive exams (see below), help you to develop sufficiently broad knowledge to teach undergraduate survey courses in U.S. history, and acquaint you with a wide body of historiography and a range of methodologies within which (or from which) they will later be able to define and distinguish their own original research.
The content of the 246 series is always meant to be comprehensive, but it can never be totally encompassing of all that is or might become part of U.S. history. The syllabi change each year, depending upon the faculty teaching in the series and developments in the historical literature. Keeping this in mind will help you to learn how scholarly knowledge is organized, evaluated, and changed, as well as how certain traditions, interpretations, and scholarly practices are created and conserved. Construed this way, the 246 series is an opportunity to learn about history as a scholarly discipline that itself has a complex history of change, continuity, and connections to other scholarly disciplines and other historical events and processes.
Two-quarter research seminars:
Students are required to complete TWO two-quarter graduate research seminars, in which they write substantial papers based on original research. Several two-quarter research seminars are offered every year in U.S. history and more are offered in other fields within the History Department. When appropriate to specific research interests and scheduling exigencies, one of these required research seminars may, upon successful petition to the department's Graduate Affairs Committee, be effectively completed by a continuing sequence of two graduate courses resulting in an original research paper of equivalent magnitude. This alternative route toward completing a required research seminar typically entails a one-quarter graduate seminar followed by a graded directed studies course (Hist 596) with the same professor.
Students who enter the program with an M.A. degree in History or a related discipline are required to complete only one two-quarter research seminar in the History Department. However, although only one research seminar is required in such cases, it may be wise and your faculty advisor may suggest that you should take a second two-quarter research seminar or a continuing sequence of two graduate courses to write another research paper for the experience of working in a particular sub-field or with a particular professor.
Research seminars are intended to give you a chance to experiment in researching and writing on different topics, or utilizing different methodologies. Sometimes these research papers become pilot studies for a dissertation or even a chapter of the dissertation, but they are also important when they do not lead directly to a dissertation topic. Learning that a particular topic is not feasible or attractive for a dissertation can be quite valuable. So, too, is the experience of conducting research on a topic different from that which will become the subject of your dissertation. Research seminar papers should approximate the size and style of published journal articles, and occasionally the best papers are indeed publishable.
Breadth requirements:
All students in the U.S. field must take ONE graduate level seminar in History outside the U.S. field and ONE graduate level course offered in an outside department. Knowing a field and a discipline requires some sense of its boundaries, and this is best done by learning something of other fields and disciplines. Studying even briefly in another field and discipline can also provide access to diverse methodologies, knowledge about other societies linked in common historical processes, opportunities for comparison, and/or a deeper knowledge of the culture(s) of communities you might be studying. On a practical level, the committee of faculty you must assemble for your oral Ph.D. qualifying exam (see below) must include one member from outside the U.S. field in the History Department and one member from outside the History Department. Taking courses outside the field is thus also an opportunity to develop relationships and knowledge that you will need to select these committee members.
Language Requirement:
The ability to perform research in one language other than English must be demonstrated by passing a departmentally-administered reading examination, successfully completing the third-year level of university language instruction, or by satisfying the departmental examiner(s) that it is one's native language.
Written Comprehensive Examination:
The written comprehensive examination must be passed to earn the M.A. degree and to continue to the oral qualifying examination for admission to candidacy for the Ph.D degree. Students must take the written comprehensive examination after 12 months in residence. The written comprehensive examination is administered once a year at the beginning of the Fall Quarter. Students who fail the examination may retake it the following year. The examination may be retaken only once. Students failing the exam a second time will not continue in the program.
The examination committee consists of the three faculty members who taught the History 246 series in the previous year. If any of these faculty members are unavailable, preference is given, in replacing such members, to faculty members who have taught History 246 in recent years. The written examination is intended to test a broad understanding of American history both before and after the independence of the U.S. All facets of history (political, social, diplomatic, etc.) are included. An ability to synthesize factual information, sometimes across long chronological periods, is essential. Knowledge of the scholarly literature and of the principal historiographical controversies arising out of it is tested along with the student's interpretive capabilities. Passing the examination implies that the student is qualified, in the judgment of the U.S. field, to teach courses in U.S. history at the college level. Questions related to the planning of such courses may appear on the examination.
M.A. Degree:
The M.A. degree will be conferred when a student has met all requirements established by the Graduate Division and successfully completed all course requirements, the language requirement, and passed the written comprehensive exam. All requirements for the M.A. degree should normally be completed before the end of a student's second year in residence. In exceptional cases, the faculty of the field may decide that the M.A. degree will be terminal and that a student may not be allowed to continue in the program. Such a decision requires a 2/3 vote of the field's faculty present at a meeting to consider the case, and must then be approved by the department's Graduate Affairs Committee.
Oral Qualifying Examination and Dissertation Proposal:
Before admission to candidacy for the Ph.D., students must write a dissertation proposal and pass a two-hour oral qualifying examination. Students must have completed all prior requirements before taking the oral exam. Students with any outstanding incompletes will not be permitted to sit for these exams. The oral qualifying exam is normally taken during a student's third year.
The dissertation proposal must be written in consultation with your faculty advisor
and other members of your oral examination committee. The proposal should contain:
(a) a statement of the dissertation topic;
(b) a historiographical discussion of the major literature bearing on the topic;
(c) a statement of the methodology to be employed; and
(d) a research plan and survey of the sources sufficient to demonstrate the viability of the
topic. The proposal must be approved by the dissertation advisor prior to the oral
examination and copies must be given to each member of the examining committee in
sufficient time before the exam.
Students select the composition of the oral examination committee in consultation with their advisor and with the agreement of the faculty they ask to serve on the committee. The committee must include four faculty members, including the student's advisor. Normally, two committee members come from the U.S. field. One must come from a field in the History Department other than the U.S. field, and one must be a faculty member in another department. Students must receive the Department's approval of their committee at least three months before the oral qualifying examination is taken. To obtain this approval and file to take the oral qualifying exam, students must obtain a copy of the "Field and Committee Approval Form for Orals" from the History Graduate Office and then submit the completed form.
In the oral examination, you will be questioned about your dissertation proposal and, in connection with your proposal and your preparation with the members of your examination committee, you may also be questioned on related fields of study. Three major outcomes are possible: 1) The exam can passed, in which case the student continues on to write a dissertation. 2) When the exam is not passed, by majority vote of the committee the student may be allowed to continue in the program with the requirement of a second oral examination or a dissertation defense. And, 3) The exam can be failed outright, in which case the student will not be allowed to continue in the program.
Dissertations, Advisors, and Dissertation Certifying Committees
To obtain the Ph.D. degree, you must meet all of the requirements stipulated by Graduate Division and your dissertation must be approved by your Dissertation Certifying Committee. The Certifying Committee must be composed of at least three faculty members. Typically it is just three. Your advisor leads the committee, the second member must be on the faculty of the History Department, and the third member must be on the faculty of a different department at UCLA. Normally the committee is derived from the oral examining committee, though changes are possible and not uncommon.
Dissertations are original and highly individualized research projects, overseen by the
faculty advisor and committee, though principally the responsibility of the student herself.
Youshould maintain contact with your advisor and other members of your Certifying
Committee when researching and writing your dissertations.

How to Eat the 10 Messiest Foods
With these tips on how to eat notoriously messy foods, you no longer have to avoid your favorites or carefully plan your wardrobe.
Miss the mess and licking your fingers clean? Check out these fantastically messy food fights to get your fill.
By Tracy Saelinger
1. Buffalo Wings
Yes, you can eat these gracefully, sauce and all, says Sandy Muskopf Hyde, president of the Etiquette School of Ohio and a native of Buffalo, NY, birthplace of the famous wings. To minimize mess, go for drumsticks: Hold the ends with the thumb and index finger (or first two fingers) of both hands, and eat the drumstick clean. The two-boned, flat chicken wing is a different story, she says. Pick the wing up by the ends with the thumb and index finger (or first two fingers) of both hands. Locate the end with the larger bone sticking out. Use your fingers to pull the cartilage off from this end and discard it. Locate the smaller bone, twist it loose with your fingers and pull it from the wing. Do the same with the larger bone. "You may now eat your boneless chicken wing," Muskopf Hyde says.

The soldiers of Fort Drum will say it's hard to explain: Men and women from all over the world coming together to form a community in the North Country. With so much diversity, it isn't easy to fit in or find ways to give back. But our Brian Dwyer introduces us to one soldier who has made it his mission to hit the ground running.
FORT DRUM, N.Y. -- A new place, new people, a new culture. Throw in the job itself and there's no question the life of a soldier can be stressful. The lucky ones find a passion to make it easier.
"Running in general is just kind of a stress reliever. It's like a catharsis almost. You feel better after you do it. The endorphins starting flowing," Spc. Matthew Gonzales said.
And for Gonzales, running is not only his release, but it's also his way to experience this new home.
Each weekend, Gonzales hits the web looking for a community run. Whether it be to raise money or awareness for a cause or for an organization, he travels the North Country to be there, meet new people and of course, run.
Gonzales said, "I feel like I might be more a part of the community if I actually go out, participate and do things for the community instead of just staying here and being what they call a barracks rat."
It's been so successful for Gonzales, he's even got his girlfriend and good friends to join in.
"We like to be a part of the community as best as possible. It's good to go out there and show we care. The way the community accepts us, it's awesome that we can pull together and do these kinds of things," said Spc. Eric Schroder.
And it doesn't hurt that running is a big requirement for soldiers, so this, Gonzales says, beats the treadmill.
"It gives me more a sense of purpose. Instead of exercising, you kind of kill two birds with one stone," Gonzales said.
And on those weekends without an event, Gonzales says he's having so much fun getting to know the North Country, he's looking for other ways to volunteer.
Gonzales is set to leave for training for a few weeks and says he can't wait to get back and find his next run.
