Former Republican: 6 Reasons the GOP Is Doomed
To stay on top of important articles like these, sign up to receive the latest updates from TomDispatch.com here.
Mitt Romney had hardly conceded before Republicans started fighting over where to head next. Some Republicans -- and many Democrats -- now claim that the writing is on the wall: demography is destiny, which means the GOP is going the way of the Whigs and the Dodo. Across the country, they see an aging white majority shrinking as the U.S. heads for the future as a majority-minority country and the Grand Old Party becomes the Gray Old Party. Others say: not so fast.
In the month since 51% of the electorate chose to keep Barack Obama in the White House, I've spent my time listening to GOP pundits, operators, and voters. While the Party busily analyzes the results, its leaders and factions are already out front, pushing their own long-held opinions and calling for calm in the face of onrushing problems.
Do any of their proposals exhibit a willingness to make the kind of changes the GOP will need to attract members of the growing groups that the GOP has spent years antagonizing like Hispanics, Asian Americans, unmarried women, secular whites, and others? In a word: no.
Instead, from my informal survey, it looks to this observer (and former Republican ) as if the party is betting all its money on cosmetic change. Think of it as the Botox Solution. It wants to tweak its talking points slightly and put more minority and female Republicans on stage as spokespeople. Many in the GOP seem to believe that this will do the trick in 2014 and beyond. Are they deluded?
You've heard the expression "putting lipstick on a pig," haven't you?
The Blame Game and the Short-Term Outlook
Although most Republicans see hints of future demographic challenges in the exit polls, many prefer to focus on other factors to explain Romney's loss out of a desire not to "blow up the party if there are less radical solutions." (Hence, the delusional quality of so many of their post-mortems and the lack of interest in meaningful change.)
First, they cite the Romney factor: a weak candidate, too moderate -- or too conservative -- who failed to fight the Obama campaign's early efforts to paint him as an out-of-touch plutocrat. In other words, his history (Bain Capital and Romneycare) depth-charged him before demographics could even kick in. He was, unfortunately, the perfect quarter-billionaire candidate for a Democratic narrative that the GOP is only out for the rich and doesn't "care about people like me." (He predictably lost that exit poll question by a margin of 81% to 18%). Running a " vulture capitalist " (and a Mormon) drove a number of Republican voters to stay home or even -- gasp! -- vote for Obama. It's a mistake that won't be repeated in 2016.
Second, they point to the Obama factor. In both 2008 and 2012, he attracted unprecedented levels of minority and young voters, a phenomenon that might not be repeated in 2016. Some Republican operatives are also convinced that his campaign simply had a much better "ground game" and grasp of how to employ technology to turn out voters. ( Halfof self-identifying Republican voters think, as they did in 2008, that Obama simply stole the election through registration fraud involving African Americans.)
Third, they emphasize the powers of incumbency. Romney only became the presumptive front-runner because the GOP's A-list-- mostly too young in any case -- feared the huge advantage an incumbent president enjoys and stayed home. 2016, they swear, will be different. Nor do they seem to fear a reprise of the 2008 and 2012 primary circuses because the A-listers in 2016, they insist, will all have well-established conservative bona fides and won't have to bend over backwards to cultivate the conservative base.

FishbowlNY's 2009 Lists: In Memoriam
Our favorite part of any award show is the memorial montage commemorating the lives of all those who passed away in the past year. While this year's headlines were populated by the tragic deaths of celebrities and other bold-faced names — from Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett to Patrick Swayze and Senator Ted Kennedy — our industry lost quite a few of its prominent members in 2009 as well. Here, a look back at some of the media's brightest stars we said goodbye to this year:
Former anchorman Walter Cronkite was perhaps the biggest name in the media world to pass away in 2009, and he was honored by a star-studded memorial in September.
A number of famous columnists also left us without their prolific narratives about politics, celebrities and the English language in 2009. Conservative columnist Robert Novak died in August from a brain tumor, Vanity Fair's Dominick Dunne passed away later that month after a battle with bladder cancer. The New York Times' "On Language" columnist, William Safire, died in September from pancreatic cancer. Another columnist who we had the pleasure of working with last year, men's wear expert Stan Gellers, died suddenly last winter, just a few months after the publication he had contributed to for more than 50 years, DNR, folded.

OSWEGO, N.Y. -- Oswego lawmakers pass the 2013 budget, raising taxes by 11% and forcing the fire department to make major changes. The budget calls for the closure of the Westside Fire Station and reduced staffing levels. But the fire chief, firefighter association president, and mayor all say the goal will be to find other ways to save money so the station can remain open with adequate staffing levels.
The mayor says they're simply asking the fire department to better manage overtime and other costs which is something all sides will work to accomplish.
Oswego Fire Chief Jeff McCrobie said, "We're in the process of contract negotiations to make some drastic changes to the way time off is done in the department and if we can get those and keep our 12 man staff intact... as far as ambulance service goes and as far as firefighting coverage inside the city, I'm confident that if we keep both of those things we can keep the service people are used to."
John Geraci, Oswego Firefighters Association President said, "There is a way and I'm confident there is a way to keep the west side station open and 12 firefighters on duty, especially with the union being willing to sit down at the table we're in current contract negotiations and understanding these hardships, we're willing to make sacrifices."
McCrobie says they'll also look at possible cuts to specialty services like the dive team.

Ongoing excavations shed new light on the first permanent English settlement in the New World.
In 1607, 105 Englishmen crowded onto three ships to cross the Atlantic in search of a New World. They built a fort at Jamestown and established trade with the indigenous people. But things quickly turned bad--the natives became hostile, the land was unforgiving, disease broke out and hardship overtook them. Just how did Jamestown, long thought to be a near-failure due to the colonists' incompetence, survive to become the first permanent English settlement despite all odds?
A 10-year-long archaeological dig is unearthing evidence every day that tells the story of Jamestown's first years. Host Steve Thomas (This Old House) climbs down a 400-year-old well, wades into a swamp filled with 1,000-year-old trees, and takes us to a firing range, a sculptor's studio, and right into a forensics lab in search of the past.

How do you explain to your 17 year old son/(daughter)
… that you do not allow him and his girlfriend to spend the night together, neither in the girl's parents' home nor our own. They promised each other to keep for one another, but they like to stay together over night … "nothing will happen, mom…" they say. Next month they are together one year.
So my question is: how do you explain that in a way without lifting the moral finger and that they understand it well.
I really will appreciate your view on that. Thanks and a blessed year 2013 for you!

My mom called today to give me some bad news.
Simone has a mass of cells growing in her abdomen that is causing the worst pain she has ever experienced. The doctors were hopeful they could operate, but now they say it won't do any good. There is no hope of stopping the growth, but only slowing it down with chemo. But, even this is a temporary help.
The doctor told them that she was already well beyond the time of survival rate for what the doctor would expect. Therefore, she is already living on borrowed time and is starting to prepare herself for her inevitable death.
So, I ask for these prayers.
- Please pray that Simone's pain may be relieved, if possible, in some way.
- Pray for Simone's son, Matthew (Simone adopted him because he was about to be put in foster care and Simone couldn't stand to see another kid get lost in the system), that he might be find some peace in his mother's suffering and eventual death.
- Pray for my mom and dad, who have to watch their child suffer so terribly and cannot do anything about it.
- Pray for a happy death for my sister, that she might fly to God's arms and be out of pain.
- Pray for my other siblings, that my sister's suffering might be a cause of their return to the faith.

Red Buckeyes Bloom Right When the Hummingbirds Arrive
Imagine flying 500 miles across the Gulf of Mexico when you only weigh as much as a penny. That's the challenge facing the ruby throated hummingbird as it migrates every spring and fall to and from its homes in North and Central America. The trip takes 18-24 hours, and the tiny bird does it non-stop. After working that hard without a break, you can imagine the tired, little hummer is ready to refuel.

Quaker Heritage Center Hosts 'Evening of Peace' on Hiroshima Anniversary
Twilight Lantern Launch is Highlight of Event
August 7, 2012

While the reason for gathering together was to remember victims of violence, the spirits of those present on this brilliant summer evening (Aug. 6) afforded a true "Evening for Peace."
"The $35/plate dinner at the General Denver and dessert reception at the Meriam R. Hare Quaker Heritage Center provided a backdrop for remembering the quarter million victims of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.
A highlight of the evening was a traditional Japanese floating lantern ceremony at twilight in which hot-air fueled lanterns ascended into the sky outside the Quaker Heritage Center.
Daniel J. Kasztelan, campus minister, read the following at the event:
"We're gathered together this evening with each other, under the good spirit that our gathering raises, and in the presence of the mysterious power of the cosmos within which our lives have their meaning and purpose: here under the presence of this motion of power and love, we gather to remember what we wish we could forget: the deaths, by atomic bombing, of 150,ooo–250,00 civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, on August 6 and August 9, 1945.
"We gather to remember what we hope will never happen again, what we pray will happen never again, what we work to prevent from happening. Although, if we take history as our precedent, we will likely be discouraged. Because, after all, what distinguishes these deaths from the million people who died in Jerusalem at the hands of the Romans in the first century, or from the 70 million in central Asia who died in the total warfare of Genghis Khan in the 14th century, or from the hundreds of American Indians deliberately wiped out by the British with smallpox-infected blankets during the French and Indian War, or from the 11 million Europeans who died in the concentration camps of the Third Reich, or from the million Armenians killed by the Turks, or the 2 million Cambodians murdered by the Khmer Rouge, or the 7000 Palestinians killed by the nation of Israel since the year 2000?
"What distinguishes these deaths except the fact that our nation was responsible for them, and the rapidity with which the living died? 70,000 persons, in moments; 40,000, in moments.
"But there is something about the speed of these deaths, and their finality, and the bombs' complete lack of discrimination between the innocent and the guilty that gets our attention: there is something that gets our attention in the impossibility of turning back catastrophe once a single bomb is dropped. There is something that gets our attention about a decision so final there is no re-thinking it, no lessening it, no waiting, even, for an answer. All that finality in one instant: that makes these deaths different. And so we remember them. The fact that we remember them also makes them different.
"And we are not the only ones remembering. All over the world today, people remember. We don't remember the Romans, or the hordes of Genghis Khan; we don't remember Ft. Pitt or Dresden. But we remember the horror of what happens when you attack a country with an atomic weapon.
"This is a sign of hope to me, that we stand here, that we remember. We grieve, but the lanterns we light both commemorate a horror and convey a sign of hope. All over the world today, tonight, people gather to remember these deaths, and commit themselves to make sure nothing like them ever happens again. Commit themselves to seek peace, and to ask for diplomacy. Commit themselves to a world of friendship, rather than a world of fear."

Montosa GTX RRP $ 329.00
The younger and slightly higher cut successor of the long-standing classic Meridian GTX. The toe spring has been slightly raised to create more rounded rolling behavior, the wrinkle-free, adjustable elastic GORE-TEX double-tongue construction has been enhanced by the proven Easy Entry System and the high-quality Perwanger leather updated to 2.4 mm. This makes this crampon-compatible mountain boot a lighter and very comfortable choice, offering tailored support for a wide range of mountain pursuits. The newly developed 3-stage wedge made from Poro, PU and TPU provides additional comfort and support. This little gem is rounded off by the very grippy Vibram Maton sole with structured Climbing Zone.
Shoes must be protected from water, wet conditions and dirt. Since wet conditions and dirt affect leather's natural properties, such as temperature control and comfort, shoe care is a very important area.
- Use a brush to remove any dirt, or brush the shoe under running water to remove persistent soiling
- Leather cleaning products are not recommended since the soap damages the waterproofing treatment
- After cleaning the shoes, rub in the appropriate wax or silicone-based care products or polish them using a soft brush
- Dry leather needs nutrients in the form of wax (no grease or oil). Apply a very thin layer and then work into the leather
- The application of wax makes nubuk or velours leather appear darker and smoother. Liquid care products maintain the leather's original appearance for longer, but provide fewer nutrients
- The best way to clean the lining (textile, GORE-TEX® and leather) is using lots of cold water and a sponge. The lining retains high quantities of salt from perspiration. In the long term, these can have a damaging effect on textiles and leather lining materials.

- Radikalische Polymerisation (1) (remove)
- Chain-Growth Polymerization of 3-Hexylthiophene Towards Well-Defined Semiconductor Block Copolymers (2011)
- The central point of this thesis is the control of the P3HT synthesis using Kumada catalyst transfer polymerization (KCTP). Kinetic studies of the active monomer formation via Grignard metathesis revealed that this reaction is rather slow, however, its completion is essential for controlled end groups. It was shown that LiCl accelerates this reaction and allows 100% H/Br end groups without long reaction times. MeOH as a quenching reagent was found to cause chain-chain coupling via disproportionation of the Ni-catalyst species. For non-functionalized P3HTs HCl was identified as the best quenching agent. The identification of these factors now allows the fast synthesis of any molecular weight with 100% homogeneous functionalizable H/Br end groups. In the second part these well-defined P3HTs were used to investigate their equilibrium bulk structures and aggregation in solution. A temperature dependent phase diagram of the crystalline regions in P3HT was obtained in bulk. Further, the order of the P3HT side chains was elucidated for the first time as tilted and non-interdigitated. The analysis of the semicrystalline order of P3HT showed extended chain crystals as the equilibrium structures up to a molecular weight of ~20 kDa. The study of the aggregate formation in solution revealed that the amount of aggregates and their nature depends on the used solvent, the molecular weight and the synthetic method. The maximum fraction of aggregates in solution seemed to indicate the resulting charge carrier mobility measured in organic thin film field effect transistors. For the well-defined P3HTs, even low molecular weight samples allow for high charge carrier mobility. In the third part the bromine end groups were used to introduce valuable carboxylic end groups in one single, selective and quantitative post-polymerization step. Thus, carboxylated polymers with a charge carrier mobility as high as 10 3 cm2/Vs were obtained. These functionalized polymers can be anchored onto surfaces, can coordinate nanoparticles or can be used as end cappers for the formation of block copolymers. Additionally, a correlation of the melting enthalpies with the charge carrier mobilities indicated that the crystallinity is the determinant factor for the molecular weight dependence of the charge carrier mobility. A great challenge for the synthesis of P3HT containing block copolymers is to combine KCTP with other controlled polymerization methods. Especially conjugated blocks with high molecular weights are difficult to incorporate, because of their lower solubility and lower percentage of end groups. Here, it was demonstrated that copper catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition, a so-called click reaction, is a simple and efficient approach to create high molecular weight P3HT macroinitiators for nitroxide mediated radical polymerization. First, the synthesis of alkyne functionalized P3HT was optimized. HCl as a quenching reagent caused hydrohalogenation and hydration reactions and MeOH proved to be the quenching reagent of choice. In the second step, P3HT-alkyne was combined with an azide functionalized alkoxyamine to form the macroinitiator in one single post-polymerization step. Two different types of block copolymers were realized. The first type is amphiphilic P3HT-b-P4VP with a polar coil block, which is able to coordinate to inorganic particles. Thermal analysis showed that the crystallite size of P3HT is hardly influenced by the coil content when such long P3HT rod blocks are used. Preliminary investigations of the self-assembly in solution, demonstrated that colloidal structures with crystalline P3HT cores are obtained in P4VP selective solvents. Thus, P3HT b P4VP is an interesting system for hybrid photovoltaics and for investigating structure formation of rod-coil block copolymers in bulk and solution. The second type of block copolymers are fully-functionalized P3HT-b-PPerAcrs, with PPerAcr as an electron conducting second block. With the new synthetic approach it was possible to get an exclusively P3HT-b-PPerAcr diblock copolymer with a high molecular weight. In this context a high content of PPerAcr of 64wt% was realized which is important for a balanced charge transport in OPVs. The pure diblock, the high molecular weight and, hence, a high chiN parameter enabled for the first time the formation of a hexagonally ordered cylindrical bulk structure for a fully-functionalized crystalline-crystalline block copolymer. Additionally, in thin films, order-disorder transition and microphase separation was observed with domain sizes in the range of the exciton diffusion length. In conclusion, the optimization of the synthesis of P3HT allowed a better understanding of fundamental aspects about its molecular weight dependent structures and the resulting properties. Further, new end groups could be introduced to widen its applications. Additionally, long P3HT blocks were efficiently incorporated into well-defined diblock copolymers.

The East Rochester Village Board has named Republican candidate David Bonacchi the new Town Justice. The vote came after the election ended in a tie. It's the first tiebreaker of its kind in Monroe County history.
Seventy-three percent of voters turned out for the election in the small village of East Rochester, and with more than 2,500 votes cast for Town Justice, it ended in a tie.
Under state law, the village board fills the vacant seat, but only for one year.
"Bonacchi, do we have a second?"
Republican candidate David Bonacchi was appointed as Town Justice following a four-to-one vote Tuesday evening. Board members felt Bonacchi, the former village mayor and police officer, was best suited to hit the ground quickly, with a shorter learning curve.
"If it were Dennis Greco he would probably be a fine judge as well, but I have to look at what we are charged to do under town law so I support Dave Bonacchi as well."
Ricci voted for Democratic challenger Dennis Greco. Ricci says both candidates were equally qualified.
Next November, voters will head to the polls to vote for town justice. The winner of that election will serve a full four year term.
"I've been in court upstairs for a long time. I understand the court system very well. I am prepared to do what needs to be done to handle the cases as a judge. I don't think there's going to be a huge learning curve. I know the community and think I'll be in good shape come January 1st," said Bonacchi.
Greco is best known for being the East Rochester football coach for the past 20 years. He says he's pleased so many people came out to vote.
"I think it's political to some degree, I'm certainly sure they supported Dave in the campaign and would change directions now. I'm very humbled by the fact that people supported for me and voted for me," Greco said.
Greco said he is still considering if he will run again next year.

2014 Lexus IS brings boldest design yet to entry-level luxury
by Chris Paukert (RSS feed) on Jan 15th, 2013 at 10:42AM
Lexus is evidently dead serious about removing some of the starch from its collar, as evidenced by the boldly styled new IS sedan just unveiled here at the Detroit Auto Show. We didn't know what to make of Lexus' entry-level sport sedan when we first saw images of it earlier this week. Dominated by the gaping maw of a spindle grille and flanked by headlamps with Nike swoosh daytime running lamps, the photos showed a distinctive (if not completely cohesive) design. Having now seen the design in the metal, we have to admit it comes together better than it does on screen. The new model will... Read More

This is a fresh run sea trout caught in the Thames River, London - downstream of Richmond Lock on 6th May 2013. It measured 53.4cm and according to the length weight charts, should weigh circa 3lbs 10oz. It was in full health and was successfully released after a few quick photographs. It is my first ever wild sea trout, hopefully one of many that are returning to the Thames!

Very pretty! I love the HSTsReplyDelete
This is super pretty and perfect for spring!ReplyDelete
What a beautiful quilt that will be! The colors make me long for a summer picnic--with strawberries, of course!ReplyDelete
Strawberry Fields is one of my favorite collections ever! If you love it...I'm pretty sure you're going to be very happy with Bonnie & Camille's new line as well!ReplyDelete
I have the precut fabric of this line... it's so cute seeing it all made up into something! It looks like a great picnic quilt.ReplyDelete
It looks delicious! I love the punch of red among all those soft colors.ReplyDelete
very nice!ReplyDelete
This is looking just beautiful!ReplyDelete
I agree about the nod to Cath Kidston, now if someone local would carry her fabric!ReplyDelete
I sent a quilt off to be professionally quilted yesterday and thought of you :) My first one!
So cute! :o)ReplyDelete
I am super jealous. ;o)

I'm new to quilting, but when I opened this window, I thought the quilt was constructed of pinwheeel blocks. Could someone explain the difference to me?ReplyDelete
Very pretty!! I love Green Fairy Quilts... awesome prices. I just had to stop buying pre-cuts cos I have SO many!ReplyDelete
Love, love, love it!ReplyDelete
Beautiful! How many layer cakes did you use?ReplyDelete
Just gorgeous!ReplyDelete
I have some of this range stashed away, I really should pull it out and try to make something as lovely as this.
Beautiful. Love that Moda Strawberry Fields collection.ReplyDelete
That is simple and lovely like summer. I have that Strawberry Fields. Thank you for the idea!ReplyDelete
so pretty and chic, love it!ReplyDelete
loving this!ReplyDelete
I just purchased a charm pack and was thinking piecing for totes but would like to use a canvas for the body of the tote. But I love what you did with the quilt. I have to think you quartered the layer cake and those are 5" squares cut into triangles.ReplyDelete
I love it! It kind of reminds me of the quilt you made for your daughter's bedroom. maybe it's the colors....but it's just gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Looking good! I love Strawberry Fields too. Beautiful colours.ReplyDelete
What pretty fabric!ReplyDelete

A.K.A. what excuse does Jordan Margolis have now?
I "worked" for Jordan Margolis for about ten years, when he was a practicing attorney in Chicago. I say "worked", because while Jordan paid me sometimes, there has never been a time when he didn't owe me money, from 2001 until the present. At this time, he owes me nearly fifty thousand dollars. There was ALWAYS an excuse, and in this respect, his Excuse Man alter-ego is very realistic.
Jordan's debt to me started with my first job for him. His company was in a bind, and I fixed them up and got them back in business. They sent me a check, but it was for half of what they owed me. When I questioned him on this, he responded that things were slow, and that he would pay me when he could. Of course business is difficult for everyone, it's no exception with me, and yet this seeming "nice guy" truly struck me as having difficulties, so I let it slide, even though HE was the "big attorney" who "went to bat for the little guy", and I was the LITTLE GUY, the small entrepreneur trying to make a go of it with his own business.
I continued to work for him, with the promise that I would get paid. Eventually I did, but by the time the check arrived, I had already done additional work for him that wasn't covered by the check. Once again he owed me money, and I'd have to wait for it.
Many times over the years, as I continued to provide service to him, I would ask him for payment, and sometimes I would get a small check. These checks became more and more sporadic, always with the excuse "things are really difficult now". And yet, somehow, Jordan managed to create this entire universe of, frankly, questionable humor: Excuse Man, Eggscuseman, Planet Jordo, Excuseland. He had "professional" costumes made, videos filmed, books published, marketing professionals hired....and yet, the money that he owed me for my hard work went unpaid.
One time I remember, several years ago, I became particularly pointed in my request for some sort of payment. He agreed, and said the check was sent. I waited for days, and the check never arrived. I followed up, and "yes, the check had been sent". Still nothing. Finally, I turned off this website, which at the time was one of his primary sites for dissemination of his "humor", and suddenly the next day, a check arrived that was dated on the day I turned the site off. The original check that he claimed to have sent? It still hasn't arrived.
Things continued on like this for some time. Always excuses. "He owed his employees money". "His cases weren't settling". "Money wasn't forthcoming". All the while, I was patient and accommodating.
One day, I saw him walking down the sidewalk. He came to a crosswalk and waited for the signal, pretending not to notice me. I said "hello Jordan!". Still no response. Finally I started to walk up to him and said "JORDAN!", and he bolted like a scared rabbit.
Why does he owe me money? Why did he stop paying what he owed? This is a good question, one for which we may never know the answer. As I mentioned, he has built up an entire network of "humor" sites, complete with his costumed alter-ego, and pictures of him "flying through the air", ostensibly to "protect the little guy". Meanwhile, there was at least one "little guy" who he was stepping on, taking advantage of, for his own benefit, with no regard for what this "little guy" was going through himself.
I started my business about 15 years ago, and I used a large portion of my retirement savings to do so. I had been laid off of work, and decided to make a go of my dream to own my own business. I did my best to reach new clients, and slowly but surely, business grew. As any business owner knows, just a few percent of revenue can make the difference between success and failure, and it seemed that the time I invested working for Jordan, and the money that he still owes me but neglects to pay, would make all the difference for me. And yet, as Jordan prances around in videos, photos, and web appearances using money that he has acquired from unknown sources, offering his, um, "humor", I STILL wait for my money.
A couple years ago, my girlfriend, an immigrant to this country with no family here, experienced serious health problems. She lost her house and her job as a result, and ended up in the hospital, completely paralyzed from the neck down. I struggled to assist her, to retain her possessions, doing my part to help her hang on to life and what little she had left. I fell behind on my mortgage, my taxes, and my personal bills at the time. As her condition worsened, and as she neared death, I continued to fall further and further behind. Money that I had earned from Jordan, money that I had worked for, that Jordan had REQUESTED I work for, went unpaid, while I fell further behind and while my girlfriend laid in a hospital bed nearing death. I received none of my money from Jordan at this time, but his "humor" continued to flow.
My girlfriend eventually made a full recovery, after spending months in the hospital and rehabilitation facilities, where she slowly regained most of her motor functions, and learned to walk and perform daily tasks again. I am still behind on my mortgage, taxes, and bills, but I am slowly catching up, no thanks to Jordan.
So what IS the problem for Jordan? Some friends who know him and I have pondered this question. Was it gambling? Liquor? Drugs? Prostitutes? No, it didn't seem to be any of these things. And yet, money for Jordan went out faster than it came in, and it went somewhere...but no one knows where. One friend postulated that Jordan had lost his mind, lost his ability to rationally deal with people and life, and turned to "humor" as some sort of a cover. Perhaps this is the answer. But the money is still missing, and no one but Jordan knows where it is.
How much money? Lots. I had mentioned that Jordan was a practicing attorney in Chicago. He HAD been. He has recently been suspended by the Illinois ARDC, and the suspension appears to be only the tip of the iceberg. He had built a notable legal career and a well-known and respected law firm. But much like he has financially abused people like me, who tried to deal honestly and fairly with him, he seems to have financially abused his clients and former employees as well.
Have a look at the allegations made against him by the ARDC. It's pretty shocking that someone who once had a prosperous career in the legal profession would sink to the levels implied by the allegations. Jordan had obligations. Obligations to himself, to his employees, to his business associates such as me, and most importantly, to his CLIENTS. People who have suffered, and who went to him for help. People who have been physically hurt, wronged, treated unfairly. It appears that Jordan used them and their unfortunate circumstances as a front to sue the people who had wronged them, collected the money on their behalf, and then apparently stole that money, or in some way made it "vanish". What DOES one do with millions of dollars that they have stolen from people they were ostensibly to help? No one knows the answer to this but Jordan Margolis, and he undoubtedly has an excuse about it.
- The ARDC document on the allegations directed at Jordan. You can follow the progress of this on the ARDC website, it appears there is another hearing scheduled for June 2014.

I am completely unaffiliated with Jordan Margolis, but I would be happy to provide what little information I have on him to people who have been harmed by him, to the news media, or to other interested parties, via the e-mail address listed above.

(Could it be, you mean this? )
I believe the SBar changes you are referring to were at least in part (if not mainly) due to the efforts of the author of this guide.
On Vigilance vs. Safeguard, from the perspective of reducing long-term healer pressure, I think Safeguard is the better choice.
Vigilance doesn't actually reduce the overall level of damage going out, it just redirects the damage. If Vigi makes a big enough difference in incoming damage that your healers can afford to use more efficient heals, then it is still saving them some mana. Depending on the amount of haste and damage a boss gains, the amount of damage taken over the 12 second period might be enough to kill you or get your health uncomfortably low for when it's your turn to taunt the boss. Competent healers will probably adapt to this mechanic wonderfully (if they're warned in advance), but I still think a cooldown that forces healers to pay attention to the health of someone who isn't the tank during a tank burst phase isn't that great.
I see Vigilance, ironically enough, as a much better cooldown for dps or pvp, since it gives a free enrage. This is something you could definitely use to help out your flag carrier or healer in any spec! Also, dps don't have to worry about getting critted by a raid boss melee swing while still soaking damage for the tank AND if they're taking 30% of the tank's damage, they're gaining the benefits of the tank's mitigation and avoidance without actually being the tank.
Safeguard still causes you to take a hit from the boss, but if you're in a position where you can use intervene you shouldn't die from one hit as a tank, and unlike a dps you won't die from a random critical hit. You knock 20% off of the subsequent damage your fellow tank is taking for a shorter period of time (2-3 additional boss swings). While this is lower than Vigi, the rest of the damage isn't redirected to you, it's damage the healers never have to heal at all. Additionally, you can safeguard four times for every Vigilance, so you can use it more often- either mitigating shorter repeated burst phases or having the freedom to use it when it's needed instead of saving the 2 min cd for a specific point in the fight. Also, you can potentially pick up a critical block from Safeguard, so it still gives you a shot at pooling more rage for when it's your turn to tank again, and should give you some vengeance to boot.
(Could it be, you mean this? )
the main reason i think most tanks will end up having to take vigilance is that most tank burster mechanics, like Impale tend to be huge and well spaced, and against those we basically want as much damage reduction as we can get when sorting out an external CD rotation in those situations against things like Impale the extra damage reduction on the target is just too damn good. On the other hand for Things like Psychic Drain Safeguard is definetly better to you the increased frequency at which you can use it the problem i have with it is that PD wasn't always, even with only 2CDs and a trinket i'd didn't need an external to get through per nerf. I still need an external to make it though all the impales on madness i need to eat. Another reason is that every other warrior can provide safeguard, but the prot warriors have the passives and the mechanics to survive the 30% damage transferred.
I think Blizz did a pretty good job with our external CD talent tier, for impale type mechanics vigilance is a clear winner for things like PD or Hagara's FA Safeguard looks wonderful, and if they let MSR function LIKE AMZ it's good too (I can dream right?).
@Vetaro, the only time Zerker rage doesn't provide 10 rage is if you already have >90 rage.
The toss up between SB and Sbar is a complicated one based off boss swing speed, swing size and your vengeance levels, the latter two being linked, I am very slowly noting down boss swing times (they aren't uniform). and is well worth mentioning but it is a complete pain in the arse to work it out. the SB v Sbar argument is something I've for the most pat completely ignored
Let us assume the equilibrium point of vengeance is 1.5x the boss's dps ( it isn't this was GC's estimate before they made it 2% unmitigated damge, if someone want to work out the new equilibrium point please do, i wouldn't know how to start) so if this boss is hitting us for 20Kdps we end up with 30k vengeance, Sbar scaling is 2xvengeance@60rage so it absorbs 60K of damage. now if the boss has a 2second swing timer each swing will hit us for 40K. (we'll ignore avoidance armour and other defences since they all happen before hitting the shield barrier). We're going to have 3 melee hits inside each SB and reduce each hit by 30% (ignoring the eternal as it makes head maths painful) or 12Kfor a total damage reduction of 36K, so about quite inferior to Sbar.
However we haven't taken into account our mastery. at 90 we get 17.6% mastery baseline, and for the sake of head math lets say he has has gotten enough off gear to boost himself up to 50% mastery (you a couple LFR bits or a rep reward). On average our mastery can be treated as extra block size, 50% crit block means our block size is on average 50% larger, so instead of block 30% of the damage he now blocks 45% (on average) so 18k per hit or 54k over the duration of SB. still inferior
there are a few other factors to consider, damage intake variability. Generally healers like predictable damage intake; they like knowing that you're gonad take a hit for about x of your health pool every 2seconds, that knowledge lets them pre cast heals, when you start taking unpredictable amount of damage things go Blerg, maybe you suddenly took no damage, well they either have to cancel the pre-cast, or let it finish as over healing and waste mana.
In the example above if we used SB to stop the damage we take three 22k hits over six seconds, if we'd used Sbar we'd take a 0K hit, a 20k hit and then a 40K hit, the steady damage reduction of SB is easier to heal than Sbar's All>some>nothing approach
However counter to that is avoidance getting a parry or dodge Destroys SBs advantages, whereas it only extends Sbar's and counter to that is that due to SB increaseing block chance it increases our crit block chance and therefore our rage gen (And DPS), which allows us to get more uptime on SB/Sbar, which is what GC meant by swing time being a factor.
Hm, maybe I should stop posting later in the evening. This could be anecdotal and completely wrong, but I remember Teng having something pretty convincing to say regarding sblock/sbar balance being out of whack well before it was addressed. Of course, now I can't find it, and while I did find GC replying to him specifically, it was with respect to something else.
In that case let me take my compliment back, and instead say Teng 1: maintains his own sim spreadsheet 2: he usually has things to say about numbers shortly after devs make changes 3: knows his warrioring 4: cares enough to make this guide. He's a good source of up-to-date information.
Regarding Vigi enrage: boo. I still think Vigi is superior for dps, because dps can be critically hit if they're eating direct boss attacks through safeguard- you might save the tank but still get one-shot and cause your raid to wipe on a tight enrage timer or a mechanic requiring heavy burst or interrupts. A prot warrior still has a chance to at least get some rage and bonus damage by critically blocking the same hit they take from safeguard, won't be crit, and doesn't lose dps uptime when intervene drags him in front of the boss, potentially screws up his facing and autoattacks, and puts parries on his combat table until he can get back into position. Also note that intervening from behind the boss to the tank is probably the worst-case scenario for taking a single attack from the boss, as there is high likelihood that you'll end up with your back to the boss, negating whatever parry you've picked up from your humongous strength score and further increasing the amount of damage you're going to take. Swapping to a shield will help a bit, as you'll at least have more armor and stam to take the hit, but you'll lose more rage from weapon swapping.
Vigi's 40 yard range plays a lot nicer with melee since they generally don't have to move to CD the tank.

I talk a lot of ballocks also.
EDIT: this is what Takethecake posted on my behalf in the analysis thread regarding SB/Sbar
As far as our rage dumps go I actually really like them, I'm not sure its exactly new player friendly to work out which is better for which scenarios other than a rough guideline of Shield block for boss melee and mass AoE, Shield barrier everywhere else, and it does feel kinda cheap being impervious to damage doing dailies as the mobs just can't get through Shield barrier. However there are a couple of things that irk me, When bears clip savage defence, and when monks clip shuffle, they add to the duration, when blood DKs clip Blood shields, they add to the absorb amount..If a prot warrior clips Shield block, he doesn't add to the duration, nor when he clips a Shield barrier does he add to the absorb amount. It doesn't really matter much but it would be nice if one was safe-clippable, I can see Shield barrier macros making that one unlikely, but as shield block has a CD it should be fine to let it safeclip. Especially if we get the rage sorted and end up in a situation where we're about to cap on rage and we can't dump with HS as we have an ultimatum proc. Secondly we really don't produce enough rage to get 100% shield block uptime, even if it didn't have a CD, I don't really think its necessary to limit us in both respects, give us enough rage that we could have 100% uptime (just), if it wasn't for its CD.

That was a great post!... totally wasn't me though =P
Either that or I'm getting older than I thought. What thread is that post in?
Beta class balance analaysis part 1?
At (1 - (20 - s)/20) * v = 0.02 * d (v being the actual vengeance, s the swing speed (they really aren't uniform? :<), d the incoming hit before mitigation), vengeance stays the same (If you don't take the normal fluctuation in hits into account). So the vengeance level (dependent on swing speed) is 1/(1 - (20 - s)/20) * ((1 - (20 - s)/20) * v) = 1/(1 - (20 - s)/20) * 0.02 * d = 0.02/(1 - (20 - s)) * d. For dps, you take s = 1, d = dps = d/swingSpd (So it's basically saying: The boss attacks every second with a (if s was > 1 before) reduced amount of damage) -> 0.02/(1 - 19/20) * dps = 0.4 * dps
By the swing speeds aren't uniform i mean Not all bosses are 2 second swing times, Feng is 2 seconds, Gara'jal is 1.5 but drops to 1.2, elegon was a 2s last time i checked and stan guardians had 2second swing times but you could have up to 4 on you at a time, and one of the spirit kings (Qiang) has a 5 second swing time (though he may be be unblockable in any case).
Magic damage is still reduced by defensive stance if we're nit picking.
So assuming the boss hits for 200k every 2 second, we have ~50% damage reduction from armor so 100k, and then 15% from def stance so an 85K hit. Sbar absorbs 2xVengenace and Vengeance is 40% of the bosses DPS, so 80K. SB reduces all damage by 30% for 6 seconds, soin our case attacks 3 attacks. 30% of 85K is 25.5k, so each attack hits for 59.5K with SB up meaning it prevented 76.5k damage. a little less Sbar did. However lets assume 25% of the attacks we avoid, which feel is kinda the same as buffing Sbar by 25% and reducing the effectiveness of SB by 25% which pushes Sbar to 100K. and nerfes SB down 57.375K which is alot more in favoor of sbar. You then have to factor in mastery which is a straight % buff to SB, in my case that's a 50% buff which shoots SB back in front.
So you could theoretically go for an avoidance heavy build and try to work Sbar, but in general it seems the vengenace change favours SB and mastery heavy build
EDIT: I really suck at numbers

Yes that was understandable, i just had the hope, that all bosses were at 2.0 (less work :P)
Sbar should still be increased, even if not by much, through str out of 5% stat buffs and baseap. (There was something about nit picking? :>)
You forgot WB.
Also, vengeance is 40% bossdps, so 200k/2 * 0,4 -> 40k, SBarr absorbs 2*vengeance, so 80k.
The problem with those SBarr calculations is, that you get no rage through SBar, whereas SB grants (a big amount) of rage, which is... well, not this good to calculate.
SBar scaling is 2x(AP-2xStr) or 2.5xStam, whichever is greater. As 1Str=2AP the str buff doesn;t actuall increase the size of Sbar, only your AP from vengeance or a Huge amount of stamina will.
Namely that, come MoP, Protection warriors are no longer reliant on stamina as their only way of mitigating magical damage. With Shield Barrier and Demoralizing Shout, we can actually limit the effect of the thrash without having to resort to stamina stacking.
Call me cynical, but I suspect a lot of longer-term players may be overlooking this fact.
Unwavering Sentinel: Tales of a Protection Warrior Running Wild.
I think most of long term prot warriors are well aware of how necessary MoBI has been for magic fights in cataclysm. Most of us have came across Stam stacking nubs in 4.1 and in 4.2 and 4.3 we only started stacking stam, because we ran out of other stats to work with. In MoP sure Sbar removes our relaiance on that special trinket, and MoP Demo Shout does work a hell of a lot better than Cata Shield Block as a minor CD, but at the end of a day we really only have 3 stats in MoP that work against magic damage: Expertise and Hit, and Stam, and i think if we're gearing exclusively for magic fights we're not gonna have an issue capping expertise and hit, which does just leave stam.
As far as I can tell Thrash isn't a magical attack, its melee, it's dodgable, parriable, blockable, and is affected by armour. its essentially a tripple attack (think Chimaeron's double attack but with 3 hits instead of two) that replaces his normal melee swing, with a total raw damage of 2.1million which is a really scary big number and in the 5-man HC gear you will die if you eat it even with SB up and get unlucky with combat table outcomes.
Tier 14 however has sub tiers, and generally through recent tiers, when killing bosses from tier N you get enough stats off tier N-1 gear to actually do it, and so i hope most people will realise that you may actually need to get gear from MSV and HoF before killing the final boss. If you expect to hit the level cap and then suddenly be able to clear the entirety of raiding content without gearing up, you will almost certainly need stam gems.
Just read through all your replies this page. I tried to not let it go all over my head but I do totally believe you now that the guide just gave us the easy explanation instead of... you know, ten paragraphs of numbers
On a related topic, since Vengeance is now uncapped and might, at points of heavy damage, jump to very high amounts, should we try and get an addon that displays it in the shape of a bar so we can, while it is very high, maybe use SBarr?
What about an addon that shows the SBarr shield as a bonus on our health bar like LoL does for example? I could imagine both of these to be very helpful to visually comprehend these things (that would only be visible by mouse-overing the buffs otherwise).
Just downloaded this for cata, about to test it out and see how well it works. Might be supported into mop as well. If there was a monitor that showed a bar for how much AP you have from vengeance, as well as one that shows how big your Barrier will be at each of the 3 rage tiers that would be incredibly helpful getting a visual on which is the best to use during the fight.
Just on a side note, I was messing around with stacking mastery>parry as this guide points out is the most effective way to gain rage and buff Revenge via the glyph. I didn't want to spend a million on yellow epic gems again so There's a bunch of blues and whatnot in use. Also have 1 stam trinket. What I did was copy this character to the PTR after I made all my reforges and gemming and compared the stats with the exact same setup. The results are interesting, going from Cata to MoP I gained about 7% more parry and lost about 27% block while dodge stayed more or less the same (armory: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...usteros/simple)
On top of having 7% less base block (iirc), you also have DR on Block now, so it's not exactly a surprise.
The increase in Parry is due to the reduction in the DR formula as well as the Strength->Parry conversion buff (~92.8% of str to parry).
Oh, and I think you need more HS on your bars!!
Mists of Pandaria Protection Warrior SpreadsheetOriginally Posted by Ion
Warlords of Draenor One Minute Field Guides
Our mastery has change aswell in cata it improves crit block and Block in a ration of 1:1, in Mop its down to 4:1. Can you point out where the guide says Mastery>Parry is best for RPS? Mastery>expertise and Mastery>Hit are both better for RPS until their respective caps.
http://www.tankspot.com/showthread.p...640#post555640Overall for maximum Melee damage reduction we should gear;
For minimising variability in incoming damage we should gear;
Mastery>Expertise=Hit>parry dodge
For magic fights we should gear;
Current testing shows we probably have enough armour and stam on gear, though we shouldn't be afraid to swap in stam or armour trinkets for specific fights, and consultation with your healing team as to what would make you easiest to heal will be much more valuable that some arbitrary stat listing. With simcraft not quite up to date I had to make a little spreadsheet to calculate how my stats played out, its not perfect but its good enough for a rough estimate.

Mark Webber is chasing his first Italian GP podium in what will be his very last visit to Monza as a Formula One driver.
In 11 seasons in the sport, Webber has never excelled at the Italian Grand Prix. In fact the nine-time grand prix has never even finished on the Monza podium.
The Red Bull racer's best result in Italy so far was the sixth-placed he secured in 2010. That was also the last time he was in the points as he crashed out the following season and in 2012 was classified P20 despite not reaching the chequered flag.
This year, in what will be his final Italian Grand Prix, the 37-year-old is hoping for better.
"I like Monza a lot because it's very Formula One in terms of its history and its atmosphere," said the Aussie. "All of the greats have raced there and I have an affinity with Italians from my Minardi days.
"The track is one of a kind, it's an incredibly fast circuit with high top speeds, so there's a lot of heavy braking.
"Monza has never been that kind to me; I've had a few retirements and have never finished on the podium, so I want to get a good result there this year!"

According to the FDA, "Low fat diets rich in fruits and vegetables (foods that are low in fat and may contain dietary fiber, Vitamin A, or Vitamin C) may reduce the risk of some types of cancer, a disease associated with many factors," and "Diets low in sodium may reduce the risk of hypertension or high blood pressure, a disease with many factors." Eden Organic Black Turtle Beans are a good source of protein, iron, phosphorus and magnesium. They are low fat and naturally low in sodium.
Studies show beans contain antioxidants similar to those in fruits and berries. "Beans are really loaded with antioxidant compounds," said Clifford Beninger, Ph.D., an environmental biologist and former researcher for the USDA's Bean Research Unit. "We didn't know how potent they were until now. In general darker colored seed coats were associated with higher levels of flavonoids, and therefore higher antioxidant activity." Researchers tested the antioxidant activity of flavonoids found in 12 common varieties of dry beans. They found one class of compounds in particular, anthocyanins, were the most active antioxidants in beans. These findings add antioxidant activity to a growing list of healthy compounds found in beans and legumes. The study was published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
Beans are an important source of two essential amino acids not found in many cereal grains, lysine and threonine. Whole grains complement beans and together deliver complete protein. Enjoying a variety of beans in combination with whole grain is a good step toward healthy living.
Enjoy Eden Organic Black Turtle Beans cooked with organic grains, in soups, salads, salsa, dips and in making refried beans for tacos and burritos. An essential to Mexican and Central and South American cuisine.
