Bicycle helmets certainly are... they don't mandate moto helmets on pushies, funnily enough. I'll leave the moto MHL crowd to do their thing.
I haven't seen any cyclists doing 110kmh on the flat recently, in fairness to the argument.

Recently declassified documents reveal the grand dreams that accompanied the dawn of the space age.
They are the stuff of science fiction novels: battleship-sized rockets carrying hundreds of people deep into the solar system, spaceships hitching rides on Haley's Comet, using nuclear-powered ships to send settlement colonies to other planets.
CODE NAME: PROJECT ORION reveals the grand dreams that accompanied the dawn of the space age. Recently declassified documents show that NASA had plans to go far beyond the moon. Hear from scientist Freeman Dyson, one of the most inventive physicists of his day, who worked closely on the deep-space project in the 1950s along with Los Alamos scientist Theodore B. Taylor. Dyson reveals that "our motto was, 'Mars by 1965, Saturn by 1970." Though they did not achieve their goals, the work they did was invaluable to the development of the U.S. space program.
Go to the edge of imagination with the scientists who worked on the ambitious deep-space projects of the 1950s that were, until recently, top secret.

Obama's tax plan involves taking money from the presumed puppet masters (rich people and corporations) and divvying it up among the people he hopes will vote for him (the masses). The only way that approach could fail with voters is if there really are puppet masters and they really are determining who gets to be president.

I am in my fifties and a pretty decent cook. I always thought I could make anything with my two stand mixers, one Sunbeam and one Oster, that anyone else could make in any other stand mixer. About two months ago I decided I wanted to try the KitchenAid. I bought the empire red professional 600 after talking to several owners of the same model. They all just raved about cookies to meatloaf being easy to make with this mixer. WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG? Now I am becoming a pro at making meringue cookies, which just never turned out before. They are a snap with this mixer. I am so glad I spent the extra money to get the larger metal bowl and attatchments. I gave away my other two stand mixers and this beauty now stays on the counter. I will be looking for a cover for it soon.
Mixer was extremely noisy "out of the box". The more we used it, the noisier it got, finally sounded like it had a broken gear, and forced gear lube out of the mixer head and into the grinder attachment. Kitchen aid has agreed to replace it, we'll see what happens.
This was purchased for a professional cake decorator and pastry/cookie maker. I am an electronics and nuclear engineer and can say for a small appliance I am impressed with these machines. There isnt much I would change and we are happy with the mixer, it's already seen a lot of heavy work and hopefully will for years to come. To make things even better getting parts will always be easy if and when anything ever does fail. In my opinion finding a deal on the professional 600 with the 575watt motor is worth the money, I mean we purchased this for around the msrp of the classic 250w model, cant go wrong.
Love this item. Originally purchased to relieve my sore arm while making cookies. Warning...this device will blow your diet...why make one batch of cookies in 90 seconds when you can make 2 batches at the same time! Wonderful time saver and arm saver.
I bought this for my daughter for her birthday. She said she doesn't need another birthday present for at least 10 years, she is so happy with it. My KitchenAid mixer is really old, but is still in perfect working condition. I kind of wish something would quit working on it so I could justify getting a new one for me.
Really love it! Great birthday gift for my husband.
I don't use it as much as I thought I would. The capacity is too large for two people. I also find it a bit clumsy and bulky. But it does a great job of mixing.
I used it just to knead and to whip, till now. In both activities I had excellent results, bread, pizza, cakes were all perfectly mixed and well done. It faces its job with energy and stability. It is very good looking and it is not too big for this capacity. The only point to be improved is noise. I plan to buy accessories to use other available functions of this great machine.
It is absolutely awesome. Plan on getting the attachments too!
wonderful, powerful mixer. I make sourdough bread which can be hard on a mixer. No problem for this mixer. I just love it.

Is he actually Crush Immune without blowing cooldowns? I know paladins can do it, but they use Holy Shield, their version of Shield Block that gives a huge 30% extra chance.
Assuming a very generous 45% avoidance without BT/Hyjal gear, he needs 57.6% more mitigation stats to push Crushings off. Which amounts to... a whopping 453 block rating...
Being 15% away from Crush immune is just as useless as being 50% away. Even if he manages to push all but 5% of Crushing Blows off, when they do come, it'll result in a huge spike of his health bar, likely killing him.
Maybe he's counting on all the different debuffs that the raid can put up to reduce that 450 required rating, but that's a huge risk to take. Furthermore, he'd be useless against magic damage, which isn't that uncommon.

MUHLENBERG COUNTY, Ky. (3/17/14) – Muhlenberg County residents go to the polls May 20 for the primary election.
And Muhlenberg County Clerk Gaylan Spurlin and his staff are busy updating thousands of files in order to notify voters of changes that may affect where they vote, and in some cases, what precinct a voter may be in.
"The state election board has created a new computer system which will be implemented in April," Spurlin told SurfKY News. "We are adjusting to that new system right now. This system controls how we keep up with you as a voter, as far as where you live, where you vote and other information."
The complicated process of redrawing the Senate and House districts was completed first, according to Spurlin. Then the Magisterial districts were redrawn. Now, Spurlin and his staff are preparing a list of around 3,500 Muhlenberg County residents who will be notified by mail regarding changes in where they will vote in the primary and general elections.
Although a comparison map of the old and new precincts is not yet available, Spurlin said he hopes to have that completed soon.
"Right now, we are asking the magistrates to help us to notify constituents where they need to go to vote." – Gaylan Spurlin
"Due to redistricting, you may not have moved, but you may not be voting in the same location as before. We may have moved you in the computer. You may have a new magistrate respecting you now. Plus, we'll be sending those who are in a new precinct a notification card to let them know where they need to go to vote," Spurlin said.
Once the current process of dealing with the new computer system is complete, Spurlin said he said he will notify the media and seek to make sure everyone in the county knows where they need to go on election day.
According to Lynn Zellen, Director of Communications for the Kentucky Secretary of State, the state has no county maps or lists to compare where someone voted prior to redistricting and where they will vote this year.
"This is left entirely up to each county clerk's office," Zellen said. "Once the process is completed in each county, we can direct individuals to the Kentucky State Board of Elections Voter Information Center."However, Zellen said the state board is reluctant to refer voters to that site until each county has sent the state written verification that they have notified voters by mail of any changes in what precinct voters are in and where their precinct voting locations are.

A Greece woman has been charged for illegally purchasing firearms for a gunman, who used them to kill two firefighters on Christmas Eve. Firefighters Tomasz Kaczowska and Lieutenant Mike Chiapperini were both gunned down as they responded to a fire, which police say was intentionally set by the shooter, William Spengler. Spengler's attack also injured firefighters Joseph Hofstetter and Ted Scardino.
The woman is 24-year-old Dawn Nguyen. She's a former next-door neighbor to William Spengler, who police say injured and killed West Webster firefighters on Christmas Eve.
The U.S Attorney's Office says the charge against her involves what's called a "straw purchase" of guns. What it means is that Dawn Nguyen knowingly purchased guns for William Spengler, but told the merchant that the guns were for her. This all happened back in the summer of 2010, when Nguyen and Spengler visited the Gander Mountain store in Henrietta, together. According to investigators, Spengler hand-picked the guns he wanted – a .223 Bushmaster high-powered rifle, and a Mossberg .12 gauge pump-action shotgun. Dawn Nguyen then bought those guns under her name, and sometime between then, and the tragedy this Christmas Eve, Spengler took possession of the guns, and hatched his plan to kill first responders. Spengler later killed himself with one of those guns. "While William Spengler may have escaped the criminal justice system, those who provided the firearms to Spengler that he used on Christmas Eve to murder and wound the firefighters and the police officer, will not escape the criminal justice system," said U.S. Attorney William Hochul.
According to federal court paperwork, Dawn Nguyen admits most of this information to police. She faces up to 10 years in jail and a quarter-million dollar fine if convicted. She's also facing a state felony charge for falsifying business records.
We've reached out to Gander Mountain where those guns were purchased for a comment and we have not heard back from them yet.
We're told there may be more charges and arrests. There was a third gun, a revolver, found near Spengler's body on Christmas Eve. Right now, investigators are not sure where he got that gun.
The investigation continues.

While each move generates its own static level of threat, the damage combined to it adds to how much threat in generates, so its best to use the Tanking Spreadsheet since your values are unique based on your Attack Power and such.
I've been looking around the past couple of days for a reliable numbers on just how much threat does each of our attacks provide. There is a great article on this site but it was made back in 3.0 I believe and things have changed since. I thought about trying out the TPS parser that's stickied here but our guild uses World of Logs.
Anyone know a good way to have a more careful examination of the threat that I am doing?
While each move generates its own static level of threat, the damage combined to it adds to how much threat in generates, so its best to use the Tanking Spreadsheet since your values are unique based on your Attack Power and such.
Thanks Kahmal. I didn't actually realize there were such things and thought spreadsheets were the tools of DPS. But went out and tried a couple and the one that seemed to produce results was from EJ. I'll link it below but although it did give me good results, such as showing what my TPS should be, I'm still lacking a little in terms of what I was actually hoping to accomplish; which was to refine my rotation by knowing exactly how much my abilities deliver threat. Ultimately, the point is to find a way to push out more threat because I am having issues with hunters and mages hitting 9-10k DPS.
According to this, after setting all my talents and choosing my gear, the result shows ~7509 TPS. I think I am hitting this number pretty solidly and even over it. Got any experience with this specific sheet to know if this is accurate? The EJ thread does mention several bugs with deep wounds modeling and ICC boss profiles and warns the TPS value might be underestimated.
An armory link and your raid format would also be good i think. If we're talking 25man 7.5K TPS seems a little on the low side. As far as i know, that link to 3.0 values is either correct or near enough to not matter much. Still, i dont think a raw TPS number is ever going to solve problems as aggro is a fickle beast and needs to managed constantly depending on the situation.
If you really much go by numbers, lets take the dps you singled out. 10K ranged dps will overaggro at 30% above tank target. If they have zero threat reduction talents, that means a 7K TPS is the limit at which point they'll overaggro. You're above this but definitely in the danger zone.
Next comes the issues with the dps themselves. Warriors need a rampup time to start doing their best TPS. Quite a few dps like to pop all cooldowns and wail into mobs the second they see your first swing animation (regardless of whether it lands or not). That'll pull aggro no matter what you do, unless you have some misdirects on you. So, are those aggroing hunters using misdirects? Are they properly faining death when their aggro goes high (before they pull aggro)? If not then part of the problem is with the dps themselves.
Are you counting vigilance in your threat calculations? Vigilance is a lifesaver. Put it on the highest aggro dps (preferably one with no aggro dump like a fury warrior). It will significantly boost your threat while reducing his, thereby increasing the aggro lead you have.
One thing i see a lot is warrior tanks focusing primarily on applying the 5 sunders first. In this time & age of "i dont care if tank threat doesnt scale", i find it more convenient to delay the 5 sunders & go for higher burst threat. A charge pull followed by a shield-blocked shieldslam, shockwave & thunderclap usually gives me a good aggro lead. By that time usually revenge also pops up, so i follow with that. This sequence usually gives me enough of a lead that combined with vigilance & misdirects i dont have aggro problems.
Aye, reason I didn't link armor and stuff was 'cause hoped to avoid making another "fix my threat thread" but what the heck. I'll like my armory link below and see if I can answer all your questions. This is actually an alt but it will become my main in Cata, which is why I am putting so much effort into figuring the class out. We raid primarily 25s but as alt runs go, I've found myself in both recently. In 10s don't think I had any issues, it was more our recent 25 run in which we had some high dps main chars on who really made me work for it. The 7-8k TPS that I mentioned is from the spreadsheet, I think, something like my raw TPS, without MDs and tricks. Something I often see myself doing on tank & spank bosses in heroics, which lead me to believe that it is my own personal TPS. Ofc it always fluctuates up and down a little bit, particularly depending how strong the Vigilance target is, since naturally the more TPS he has, the more I will have.
On our ICC25 run, it was really a race with the hunters and mages at around 10K TPS but I would assume that includes MDs because on Lord Marrowgar P1 I was hitting between 8-9k TPS. It is annoying that I'm never really sure if I have tricks/MDs, cause my buff bars just fill up with such an amount of buffs that it looks almost insane. I did ofc have Vigilance on either a mage or a hunter, which ever was closest to me but it did seem like they had to hold back not to go over me. I use Grid and Clique to just let me click to change the vigilance target. The exception to this is Festergut where the hunters and mages were in their groups, out of range of my vigilance so I could not change the target after the pull.
On that note, I don't think the spreadsheet I have includes Vigilance. At least I can't find it anywhere on it and no mention is made of it. Probably makes sense cause it is rather difficult to simulate since you don't know the DPS of the target. Btw, a small correction to what I said before, when I wrote "I am having issues with hunters and mages hitting 9-10k DPS." That is actually inaccurate. It was during the Rotface and Festergut fights in ICC25, but I meant to write TPS, not DPS. Don't know why I did that.
It is funny you mentioned the 5 sunders, cause I think this is one of the issues I have. I don't specifically go out to first hit 5 stacks of sunders, but there are several times a moment of lul when neither Sword and Board procs, in which case I just spam Devastate. Looking at the threat values, it would seem that Concussion Blow and Shockwave actually produce more threat than Devastate, so I've made a note of including those in my priorities. Someone also mentioned that I should macro Heroic Strike to my Charge, so that when I Charge pull, I automatically get a quick HS and my usual SS that I try to hit before the charge ends. So for now my priority list looks like this:
Revenge > Shield Slam > Concussion Blow > Shockwave > Devastate
Instead of the old one:
Revenge > Shield Slam > Devastate
I'm still not sure which should be first, Revenge or Shield Slam though. You also mentioned Thunderclap. I generally only hit TC when I need to refresh the debuff on the boss. Should I hit it more often?
Also on the question of glyphing for Devastate, is it worth it? Devastate will hit for more damage with higher stacks but after the stacks are at max, it sorta of loses the benefit. Instead I figured I could glyph for Vigilance or Taunt, depending when Taunting off the other tank becomes pivotal.

That's why i prefer a melee target always. Especially on mobile fights since they'll always be close and their dps uptime will be higher.The exception to this is Festergut where the hunters and mages were in their groups, out of range of my vigilance so I could not change the target after the pull.
That's because i dont sport the nice hit & expertise numbers you have. Thunderclap cannot be dodged/parried so i use it to make sure something lands at the start.You also mentioned Thunderclap.
I really hate macroing abilities together, it makes me lose control. I have my HS & cleave bound to mouse up/down with the roller on free rotation. If i want HS and especially spamming it, i give it a good whirl & it'll keep HSing. HS is naturally permanently on on single boss fights.Someone also mentioned that I should macro Heroic Strike to my Charge
Tbh, it looks more & more like you're doing the right things but you're lacking the MDs. I've been tanking for my guild for 4 years now and i consider myself a good tank. I've recently joined a quality ICC25HC pug (invite only) organized by the top guild on our server. It's been a wakeup call, with the lowest dps ticking in at 10K. I can still maintain my threat but it takes a lot more work and threat IS an issue. The MD and tricks that i get helps enormously though. While i've had zero problems at any of the runs (except aoe packs), at BQL i was offtanking and since the MDs all went to the person they wanted bitten first, doing my best rotation plugged me in at 7th on the threatmeter and it took me a good 40 seconds to climb to the 2nd spot.
I believe the numbers show that the priority list, iirc is:
SS > SW > Rev > Dev for TPS. SW/Rev in some order @ #2. Also, I saw someone mention Con Blow is higher than Dev for threat as well.
Macro'd HS is good and bad. I have 2 Devastates for example, one with HS macro'd and the original. This gives me the flexability to choose which one to use, and in high rage environments, saves a few key mashes. I found it really helped in initial threat gen situations where I'm trying to keep HS up all the time before I build a threat lead.
Regarding Vig - I use Stinky to judge who gets Vig for Fester, if needed. That's the best warm up for judging who get its. Putting Vig on mid-fight during the first wing is one thing, but by Fester you should have an idea of who it goes on. In our guild, it's usually a hunter that pulls by far the most threat behind me, so even with MD, he's worth vig-ing (even built a macro to vig him, I called it my "Oh S#!%" threat button), except for fights like Saurfang or Torvan where range spends a good chunk of the fight on something other than boss, then it moves to the highest melee.
Regarding Glyphed Devestate. It never loses its value for threat. It just doesn't apply any more stacks. Dev glyph is >>>>>>>> Threat glyph. Glyph it! It gives you threat as if you are still applying 2 fresh stacks. Even so, SS, Rev, SW and maybe Con Blow are higher threat iirc.
It saved my @$$ in 25 with idiot melee DPS that loved to pop their trinkets and CDs on trash (spiking to 12-14k single-target DPS). Glyphed Dev and never had an issue with their lack of awareness again.

Second time I've linked this today!
RNGesus - Saving you unreliably since BC.
My thanks guys, as always it has been quite helpful. Learn something new everyday. Already done another ICC run and things seem to have improved a little. Will have to wait for our next week's 25 alt run to make sure.
Thanks for the link, I actually found another spreadsheet on this site as well, but which was out of date. Already given this one a whirl and seems like a very interesting tool. On average, the numbers for my avg TPS look pretty same as with the other spreadsheet so I know I'm on the right track.

Lore, you're so rude.
Stop interrupting Lore.
I'd add the 'epicness' of a fight has a lot to do with personal experience as much as the design of encounter itself.
For example, for one of my guildies, the most epic fight for her was heroic morchok, because that was the first raid boss that she was able to kill on heroic.
i know most people would probably gloss over that opinion because the fight was barely a challenge but for her, the first heroic achievement was something to be cherished.

The club was formed in 1878 by worked from the George Salter's Spring Works in West Bromwich and took the name West Bromwich Strollers a year later. They were renamed West Bromwich Albion in 1880 – Albion was a district of West Bromwich where some of the players lived and worked.
• Div One: 1920
• Div Two: 1911, 1902
• Championship: 2008
• FA Cup: 1968, 1954, 1931, 1892, 1888
• League Cup: 1966
Did you know?
West Bromwich Albion were originally nicknamed "The Throstles", as this these birds were often seen in Hawthorn bushes around the ground. A local pub also kept a pet Throstle in a cage and this was placed beside the touchline during games in the 1930s. Folklore suggests the bird only sang when the team was winning.

Identification Adult male: bright greenish gray above, paler below; broad, teardrop-shaped white eye ring, slightly broken at the top (especially) and bottom; lores olive. Ruby crown patch visible only during display, or when bird is agitated. Black at base of secondaries, contrasting with white lower wing bar. Adult female: similar to male, no ruby crown patch. Immature: somewhat pointier tail feathers than adult, a few males may have orange, yellow, or olive crown patch.
Geographic Variation Northwestern subspecies (grinnelli) slightly darker.
Similar Species Compare with Hutton's vireo.
Voice Call: most frequently heard is a husky 2-syllable ji-dit. Song: often heard in migration; begins with 2–3 very high-pitched notes, abruptly changing to a rich, and surprisingly loud warble: tsii tsii tsii chew chew chew teedleet teedleet teedleet.
Status and Distribution Common. Breeding: breeds in boreal spruce-fir forests, preferably near water and especially in black spruce bogs. Breeding begins immediately when females arrive in early May. Nest: high in conifer near trunk, 8–12 eggs (May–June) is largest clutch size of any passerine in North America. Spring migration: as late as early May in Mexico. March to early May, in southern United States. Early April to late May, peaking late April to early May in central and northeastern United States. Fall migration: begins mid-September; peaks late September to mid-October; continuing through mid-November Arrives as early as late Sept. in Florida and Mexico. Winter: not as hardy as the golden-crowned, and winters farther south in a broad range of habitats. Primarily southern and western. United States through Mexico to Guatemala. Vagrant: Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico, Bahamas, western Cuba, Jamaica (sight rec.), Greenland (2 recs.) and Iceland. Many records from ships off Atlantic coast, but no confirmed records from western Europe.
Population Breeding areas in the western United States may be adversely affected by logging and wildfire.

Nice looking rug. Using in a low traffic area so not overly concerned about dirt showing on light color. I've bought from Rugs USA for last 5 or so years and although ship time was ridiculously long this time, will deal with delay for their great prices.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Beware: this rug actually is a green/sage color. Although the web site says "beige," the rug packaging says "green beige". If you want a gold or beige rug (as I did), this is not the one to order.RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
