The ICAB program is developed by the Department of Anthropology at The Field Museum (FM) in Chicago, in collaboration with the American Research Center in Sofia (ARCS) and with sponsorship from the America for Bulgaria Foundation (ABF). This program promotes international collaboration between Bulgarian scholars and those from the US and other nations, including the Balkans. The intent of ICAB is to fund either archaeological or bioarchaeological research, including fieldwork, museum research, or laboratory research. The program strongly encourages proposals from researchers interested in ancient DNA analysis and other groundbreaking analytical techniques that will advance the scientific study of the human past.
2013 ICAB Projects
Producing and Consuming the Transition: Incorporating Animal Resources at the Turn from Bronze to Iron Age in Southwestern Bulgaria ($50,000)
The researchers investigate the economic and social roles of domestic and wild animals at the turn of the Late Bronze Age (LBA) to Early Iron Age (EIA) at the site of Bresto, in the Upper Mesta Valley in southwest Bulgaria. The co-PIs of this project are Dr. Bogdan Athanassov (Department of Archaeology, New Bulgarian University) and Dr. Nerissa Russell (Department of Anthropology, Cornell University, USA).
2012 ICAB Projects
Balkan Valley Project (BVP): Excavation at Magura Cave ($49,963)
This is a field-based project investigating the prehistoric Magura Cave in Northwestern Bulgaria, a popular tourist venue in the country. It is a truly collaborative research project that brings together Bulgarian and American scholars, and it is an excellent example of how collaborative research should be established and developed. The co-PIs for this project are Stefanka Ivanova (Bulgarian National Institute of Archaeology and Museum, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences) and Dr. David Strait (University of Albany, USA).
2011 ICAB Projects
Analyzing the Cutting Edge: Stylistic and Functional Study of Lithic and Bronze Tools from the Later Prehistory in Eastern Balkans ($50,000)
This project is an international and interdisciplinary study of lithic tools from museums in Bulgaria that builds upon similar research in Romania and the Levant. The investigation considers the economic and social function of lithic artifacts in the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age. The co-PIs of this project are Ivan Gatsov (Chair of the Department of Archaeology, New Bulgarian University) and Marvin Kay (Department of Anthropology, University of Arkansas-Fayetteville, USA).
Rock-cut Sanctuaries in the Eastern Rhodope Mountains: The Glouchite Kamani Cult Complex ($49,525.50)
This extensive archaeological exploration of the site of Gloukhite Kamani ("Deaf Stones"), near the town of Lyubimits in southeastern Bulgaria, is investigating the extent and period of use of the distinctive rock-cut sanctuaries at the site, as well as evidence of associated human settlements. This project is led by co-PIs Georgi Nekhrizov (Bulgarian National Institute of Archaeology and Museum, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences) and Lynn E. Roller (Department of Art History, University of California—Davis, USA).
2010 ICAB Projects
Balkan Valley Project (BVP) Phase II: Survey of the Tundja Valley ($49,845)
Situated at the crossroads of Europe and Asia Minor, Bulgaria is well positioned to preserve evidence of the first Europeans and other ancient humans. This archaeological research is the first attempt in the Balkans to collect and integrate diverse types of data from across a targeted landscape with the aim of testing hypotheses about hominin origins. The co-PIs for this project are Stefanka Ivanova (Bulgarian National Institute of Archaeology and Museum, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences) and Dr. David Strait (University of Albany, USA).
Tundzha Regional Archaeological Project ($49,900)
This is an ongoing collaborative project that brings together American, Australian, and Bulgarian researchers to examine the prehistory of the Tundzha region in Bulgaria. This group has been working in the region of Kazanluk and Yambol. The co-PIs leading this project are Georgi Nekhrizov and Dr. Stefan Bakardjiev (Bulgarian National Institute of Archaeology, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences) and Christopher Ratte (Kelsey Museum of Archaeology, University of Michigan, USA).

(Set of 4)
Order in the next 7 hours 18 minutes and select next working day for delivery to mainland UK on Tuesday
The Beaba First Stage Spoons are a set of 4 silicone Spoons designed for babies being introduced to solids. The handle is designed for adult's hands so that parent can easily feed baby. The Spoons are made of ultra supple silicone to be kind to baby's gums.
Nice and shallow, my baby likes to hold the handles but the first time we fed her carrot it stained the spoon!
I agree with most of the comments but i honestly don't think they are the "bees knees" i keep reverting back to the good old cheap plastic ones. i have found these spoons to be really thick and not as easy to use as the thin simple plastic ones.
They do the job they are made for and safe enough to give baby one whilst you feed so they can play & learn........ however still keep a close eye as spoon long enough for little one push right back in their mouths. Nice bright colours and good grip.
Great spoons for first weaning experiences. Expensive but worth it as they as so soft.
I was slightly skeptical that it mattered what spoon i used to first feed my baby solids, but these spoons are great. Lightweight, slightly flexible, comfortable in your baby's mouth, long handles so easy to feed your baby and they look good. Downside is that they are slightly more expensive than other brands. I would buy these spoons again though as i think they are less 'plasticy' than others on market so this must be where the couple of pounds difference comes in.

Report: BMW plans to sell 30,000 i3 models a year

BMW Megacity EV – Click above for high-res image gallery When BMW launches the i3 in 2014, it reportedly hopes to move 30,000 of the electric city cars a year. That number is derived from BMW's stated target of matching the volume of its lower-production Mini models. The i3, formerly known as the Megacity Vehicle, will launch alongside the i8 plug-in hybrid as the first offerings from BMW's new i subbrand. The i8 is based on BMW's 2009 Vision EfficientDynamics Concept. The i8 will fill the sports car market segment for i. There's no definitive word on pricing yet, but BMW sources... Read More

Hematopoietic Project
Updated January 17, 2014
This manual and the corresponding database are to be used for coding cases diagnosed January 1, 2010 and forward. The changes made do not require registrars to recode old cases.
This site provides data collection rules for hematopoietic and lymphoid neoplasms for 2010+. There are two tools for use with these rules:
- Hematopoietic & Lymphoid Neoplasm Database (Heme DB)
- A tool to assist in screening for reportable cases and determining reportability requirements
- The database contains abstracting and coding information for all hematopoietic and lymphoid neoplasm (9590/3-9992/3)
- Hematopoietic & Lymphoid Neoplasm Coding Manual
- Reportability instructions and rules for determining the number of primaries, the primary site and histology, and the cell lineage or phenotype
- The introduction to the manual has an updated Steps in Priority Order for using the Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Neoplasm Coding Manual & Database.
The Heme DB is available in two formats: as a web-based tool and as stand-alone software. In this new version of the database, all information from the 2010 and 2012 databases, as well as other changes made during review of the information for the 2014 release, has been consolidated into one database. The option to switch between 2010 and 2012 versions has been removed.
Web-based Version of the Database
The Heme DB provided in a web-based format has several benefits over the software version:
- Updates are automatic: users do not have to install anything to access the latest revisions.
- Allows access from any computer or device with an Internet connection.
- Eliminates problems for users who do not have permission to install software on their work computers.
Information from the 2010 and 2012 databases has been consolidated into one database and all information for cases diagnosed from 2010 and forward is contained in this one database. There are also entries for some obsolete terms that were in effect for cases diagnosed 2001-2009. These entries are clearly marked as Obsolete.
Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Neoplasm Database and Coding Manual - For cases diagnosed January 1, 2010 and later.
Stand-alone Version of the Database
The stand-alone version of the database also contains the information from the 2010 and 2012 databases consolidated into one database. The web-based version of the Heme DB is the preferred method to access the current data. If you need the stand-alone version because of limited Internet access, it is still available for now, but may be phased out in the future. Note that the information in the stand-alone version of the database may not be as current as the web-based version. A new feature will soon be implemented to update the Heme data in the stand-alone version automatically whenever you have an Internet connection. An e-mail will be sent out when this new feature is available.

My twin daughters loved the ladybug theme! It even endured set-up and relocation after of park party was rained out. The centerpiece could've been more stable, but a bit of clear tape did the trick. Colors are very vivid and product quality can't be beat for the price!

The Mysterious Mare Do Well
May the Best Pet Win! is the seventh episode of the second season of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic and the thirty-third episode overall. In this episode, Rainbow Dash decides to hold a competition to determine which is the best pet for her after realizing that she's the only one of her friends without one. The episode title is a play on the idiom "may the best man win", which is said in the spirit of sportsmanship.
Production and reuse of assets
The sunglasses worn look similar to the same sunglasses that Rainbow Dash wore in Lesson Zero while the pink scarf is the same one worn by Rarity in Dragonshy and Twilight in Winter Wrap Up.
This episode marks the first appearance of Owlowiscious since Owl's Well That Ends Well, and the first appearance of Winona since Applebuck Season, as well as being Gummy's first appearance in season two. This is the first episode for Rainbow Dash to have a pet.
The episode was #5 in the We Heart Ponies Fan Favorite Mare-a-thon, in the leadup to Hearts and Hooves Day.
Dream sequenceThe episode starts with Rainbow Dash in a dream flying around in the sky, when suddenly Owlowiscious comes up and starts flying with her. Strangely, Owlowiscious' head turns into Winona's head. Then, the body turns into Gummy's body and the head turns into Angel's head. Suddenly, Opalescence pops out of Angel's mouth, scaring Rainbow into falling, which wakes her up.
Pony Pet Playdate
When Rainbow Dash wakes up, she is met by Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Twilight Sparkle, all of whom are in the park with their pets. They tell her that they always come down to the park at the same time every week with their pets to play with them. The ponies try to make Rainbow understand why they don't invite her, but Rainbow, who is the only pony without a pet, exclaims that she understands and sees no reason for them to invite her if she doesn't even have a pet.
- "Hey, now wait a minute! Just because I don't have a pet now doesn't mean I never want a pet!"
- — Rainbow Dash
Let the games begin
- "So! You all think you've got what it takes to be my pet, do ya? Well, we'll just see about that! If any of you don't think you can handle it, bow out now before you humiliate yourself in front of your peers. This competition isn't for the weak. You'd better be prepared to step up your game!"
- — Rainbow Dash
Ghastly GorgeStill unable to choose, Rainbow decides to hold a race in Ghastly Gorge, pitting the last four contestants, the eagle, the falcon, the owl, and the bat against her, with the tortoise tagging along with the other contestants. Rainbow tells them that whichever contestant crosses the finish line with her has proven that it can keep up with her, and is worthy of being her pet. The flying pets remain very close during the race, while the tortoise is last, sweating as he tries to catch up with Rainbow. During the race, a re-arrangement of Ride of the Valkyries plays in the background, and Rainbow whistles a few bars of the tune to herself. The falcon gets stuck in bramble bushes, but the bat, eagle, and owl make it through. The falcon catches up later with his wing curled up. Near the caves with the quarray eels, the bat is almost devoured but manages to get away. While distracted, Rainbow hits a wall, and there is a rock slide. The racers suddenly get ahead of Rainbow while she falls behind with her wing stuck underneath a large rock.
She desperately calls for help, stuck under the boulder with no one to help her. She spots the tortoise slowly approaching her, and laments about how she'll have to spend the rest of her life with the tortoise as well as being trapped by a rock. The tortoise digs a small hole under the rock and sticks his head in it. Weeping, Rainbow completely gives up hope. The tortoise, however, lifts the rock with his head, freeing Rainbow's wing.At the finish line, Rainbow's friends await her arrival. Noticing that only the four racers finish the race, they begin to worry about Rainbow. Applejack spots a rock slide through Twilight's binoculars, but also spots Rainbow riding on the tortoise with her right wing bandaged. Rainbow and the tortoise finish the race, and the other ponies tell Rainbow to meet her new pet, the falcon.
However, Rainbow doesn't feel right with the falcon as her pet, even if it is everything she wanted. She says that her pet would be the one that finished the race with her, and the tortoise is the only one who did so. With this in mind, she accepts the tortoise as her new pet, thanking him for saving her. The sad falcon shakes hands (so to speak) with the tortoise and leaves. Rainbow then asks Spike to take a note for Princess Celestia, telling her that she learned the most important quality in a pet, or in any friend is not how cool they are or how much they can do, but is a kind of spirit that will stand by her, reflecting of the story of The Tortoise and the Hare, where the "slow and steady wins the race".
- "You just can't stop that little guy. He's like a... like a... Tank! "
- — Rainbow Dash
EpilogueAt the end of the episode, Rainbow now joins the rest of her friends in their pet playdate. Rainbow's tortoise is then shown wearing a helicopter hat, flying to the park after Fluttershy points out that Rainbow wanted a pet that can keep up with her, and she names him Tank.

- Rainbow Dash: Um, is this weird, or is it just me?
- Rainbow Dash: Okay, this is officially beyond weird now and moved right on down to freaky town.
- Twilight Sparkle: Well we had initially planned on inviting Rainbow, of course, except–
- Pinkie Pie: We were totally gonna invite you, Rainbow, then Twilight remembered that you don't even have a pet, and Rarity remembered that you really like to take naps in the afternoon, so Applejack figured you wouldn't be missing out on anything anyway, and Fluttershy and I nodded our heads in agreement like this.
- Fluttershy: Oh, please don't be mad at us.
- Rainbow Dash: Oh, I'm not mad. You all are right. Not much point of a pony-pet playdate for me if I'm a pony without a pet, right?
- Applejack: Exactly.
- Rainbow Dash: This competition isn't for the weak. You'd better be prepared to step up your game!
- Rainbow Dash: Any questions?
- Applejack: I got one. Does she understand what a pet really needs?
- Twilight Sparkle: Yeah, like care and attention, love and affection- ugh! And breath mints!
- Rainbow Dash: Alright, now these games will determine which one of you has the most important qualities I'm looking for in a pet. Speed, agility, guts, style. Coolness. Awesomeness. And radicalness.
- Twilight Sparkle: Aren't those all the same thing?
- Rainbow Dash: You would think that, Twilight. And that's why you would never qualify to be my pet.
- Rainbow Dash: That's just sad.
- Rainbow Dash: Wanna know the opposite of agility? That.
- Rainbow Dash: Listen, turtle...
- Fluttershy: Tortoise.
- Rainbow Dash: Whatever!
- Rainbow Dash: Pause for dramatic effect...
- Rainbow Dash: DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!
- [eagle cries]
- Rainbow Dash: Gesundheit.
- Rainbow Dash: Wahoo! My prayers have been answered! Oh, thankyouthankyoutha- You?! Oh no! Now I'm not only going to be stuck here forever, I'm gonna be stuck here with the most annoying turtle in the world! Gyh, I'm doomed. DOOMED, I tell you!
- Pinkie Pie: Wait! Look
- Fluttershy: It's the turtle!
- All: TORTOISE!
- Fluttershy: Oh whatever...
- Fluttershy: Yay?
- Twilight Sparkle: Tenacity!
- Rainbow Dash: Gesundheit.

Ananaisie Alikatuktuk
Canadian, 1944–2007
Taleelayu and Family, 1976
stencil on paper, 38/50
42.8 x 61.2 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with Memorial Funds
This delicate and whimsical stencil print is one of the most familiar to have been published by the Pangnirtung Eskimo Co-operative (now the Uqqurmiut Centre for Arts and Crafts). It was the cover graphic for the catalogue of the 1977 landmark touring exhibition The Inuit Print, organized by the National Museum of Man, now the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Gatineau, Quebec. The work was printed by the artist's brother, Thomasee Alikatuktuk, who is also a noted graphic artist from Pangnirtung. Ananaisie Alikatuktuk created hundreds of drawings (now housed in the Uqqurmiut Centre archives), as well as sculpture, such as an unusual carving in the WAG collection of the mythical female sea spirit, Taleelayuk, swimming under a hunter in his kayak and lifting both out of the water.

I would go with the Valor Medal no question in that situation. In my opinion your health is way to high in relation to your avoidance. I keep the gossamer around for situation where max health is useful but I rarely use it.
Im having a problem deciding between avoidance and health pool.
Currently with essence of gossamer im at 29430 unbuffed with 21.56% dodge
My question is with this much health is it worth it to go to 28200~ with 23.21% dodge
I would go with the Valor Medal no question in that situation. In my opinion your health is way to high in relation to your avoidance. I keep the gossamer around for situation where max health is useful but I rarely use it.
Well, there's some math to be done here, cuz keep in mind that 29430 and 28200 health neither suffer from diminishing returns where as your dodge.. will.
Using Satrina's formula for dodge for a warrior:
we can plug in your two values of character sheet (before DR) dodge and figure out how much real dodge you have (post DR).
21.56% scenario:
1) Calculate your overall avoidance: given: 21.56%
2) Calculate k/A: 0.956/(21.56) = .04434
3) Calculate 1/c + k/A: 0.01135 + .04434 = .05569
4) The result from step 3 is 1/Ad, so now invert it: 1/0.05569 = 17.96% Dodge. This is Ad, the diminished amount of dodge actually gained
now lets do it with the 23.21% dodge:
1) Calculate your overall avoidance: given: 23.21%
2) Calculate k/A: 0.956/(23.21) = .04119
3) Calculate 1/c + k/A: 0.01135 + .04119 = .05254
4) The result from step 3 is 1/Ad, so now invert it: 1/0.05254 = 19.033% Dodge. This is Ad, the diminished amount of dodge actually gained
so after DR:
You're trading 1230 health for 1.073% dodge.
Okay, so all this math basically says... i'd agree with Meeks, more avoidance for your healthpool is good. 29430 unbuffed health is INSANE O_o, lol.
what doth the valor trinket dooeth? ;x
oh hell yea, new moroes trinket.
The Valor Medal is a disgrace to the Pocketwatch legacy.
Since avoidance is more valuable the more of it you have, and because tanks have less avoidance now than in BC and because avoidance has diminishing returns, for the Valor Medal to be 'the new pocketwatch', it would need to give notably more dodge on use than the pocketwatch did back in the day. Instead it gives only half as much (albeit for twice as long).
If you really need 7% dodge on demand, just use the old pocketwatch. The passive dodge is nice on the valor medal is nice, but nobody wore the pocketwatch because it had nice passive stats, it was used because it had an incredible active stat.
Valor medal has over twice as much passive dodge and the on use has more dodge for twice as long. Percent might be different then pocket watch was at 70 but we are not at 70 anymore.

I am not really suggesting wearing the Pocketwatch - it was more to illustrate the point. Nobody wore the pocketwatch because it had passive dodge, that was a nice bonus, but people used the pocketwatch because it had an incredibly powerful, fight changing use effect.
The Valor Medal is often thought of/referred to as the 'new' pocketwatch. But the comparison is bad because, as I mentioned, to overcome the low overall avoidance and diminishing returns, the 'new' pocketwatch would need to give more % dodge than the old one in order to be as effective. Instead the 'new' one only gives half as much.
So, if you want to wear a trinket with a powerful 'use' effect like the old pocketwatch, the valor medal ain't it. If you run across a fight where you need to get a bunch of dodge on demand, the old pocketwatch is only 0.5% less effective than the 'new pocketwatch' and doesn't cost 40 badges.
The valor medal is clearly better if you are looking at the passive effects.
And on use. It is better all around.(at lvl 80)The valor medal is clearly better if you are looking at the passive effects.
Last edited by Meeks; 12-10-2008 at 12:10 PM.
I hope you're not looking at the % gained from the use @70 and comparing that to the % gained from the use @80 on valor, and saying the moroes is better because it's not...
I was on my way out to lunch and wasn't really clear on the message I was trying to get across so bear with me while I give it another go.
I am only taking issue with the idea that the valor medal is 'the new pocketwatch'. The pocketwatch was an amazing trinket because it gave 16% dodge on demand, not because it had passive dodge on it which is why I am glossing over the passive dodge on the valor medal.
If you want to call something 'the new pocketwatch' it has to have a 'use effect' that rivals the old one. Instead the valor medal gives half as much dodge on demand. It is so far off from being what the pocketwatch was at 70 that it is, in fact, only marginally better than the pocketwatch is at 80 (335 rating vs 300 rating).
Thats not to say it is a bad trinket, just that it is nowhere near as good as the pocketwatch was and if you pick it up hoping it will be a 'new pocketwatch' you will be sorely disappointed. If you want to find the new pocketwatch - something with a powerful use effect - Defender's Code is the closest thing out there.
what he means is..... at 70, moroes gives 15% dodge on use. at 80, valor gives little over 8%. hes saying (on the context where each one was used) moroes was much much better.
We get what he's saying. It's foolish :P 15% dodge on-use is a thing of the past. Valor Medal is really good, stop living in the past mang!
It's the best avoidance trinket available - and it was my 3rd heroism emblem purchase after the neck and gloves. I don't have much in the way of avoidance, so every little bit counts.
There's not an awful lot to buy with heroism emblems anyway, it might not be your first purchase, but you may as well pick it up eventually!
Valor Medal has a great passive effect and a strong use effect, thus I would also recommend using it over the Blue 111 Stamina trinket given your situation sprockets.
Anyway, as merckx already explained, gearing for avoidance is only good once you reach high numbers and current gear doesn't support that. 111 stamina definitely beats 84 dodge rating even with the fancy click, would use that even way past 30k unbuffed HP.
Uhh....you can use both? They are my new "pocket watch" (ah drat, that word pops up again!) and "commendation" set up. I also felt that the original pocket watch was just too good. I know of tanks that use it into SWP because of bad luck with RNG and such. A Kara-level item shouldn't have no parallels until late T6.

The majority of voters say the ailing economy is the most important problem for the next U.S. president to solve. How does a voter who knows little or nothing about economics decide which candidate has the best economic plan?
As you know, the media is worthless in solving this problem because they like to give equal time to both sides, no matter how ridiculous one of the sides might be. Or worse, some media outlets make no attempt to be unbiased. Realistically, the media has no idea which economic plans are likely to work best, so even if they wanted to be objective and informative they don't have the tools or the incentive to acquire them.
The economy is arguably the most important issue in the world, having a huge impact on everything from global warming, to health care, to defense. And voters have no reliable information upon which to make decisions. Someone needs to fix that. Realizing that I am someone, I decided to take a crack at it.
At substantial personal expense I hired a professional survey company to poll professional economists and find out which presidential candidate's plans have the most support. Obviously there is a limit to how unbiased the survey can be, since economists are human, and most of them presumably belong to a major political party. We'll try to take that into account with the survey design. But no matter what the result, I think it will be useful.
For example, the idea of a gas tax holiday was condemned by economists in both major parties. I expect there are other plans that have virtually no support from economists in either camp. That would be useful to know.
But suppose economists are evenly divided on a particular tax plan. Is that useful to voters? I think it is, because the only rational thing for you to do as a voter in that situation is to support the plan that taxes yourself the least. And you can do that with a clear conscience if there is no agreement among experts that taxing yourself more will help the world in the long run.
I think we would all agree that having better information won't influence most voters. If every economist in the survey somehow miraculously supported the same candidate's positions, it wouldn't change the votes of hardcore Democrats or Republicans. But in a close election such as this one, independent voters, who I call the Rational Few, end up making the decision. I am hopeful that for that influential group, better information will lead to better decisions. If the Rational Few are indeed influenced by a poll of economists, and it tips the election, economists will forever be polled before national elections. Problem solved.
And in this way I plan to fix the economy, end the energy crisis, rationally address global warming, and provide low cost health care to all. In return, I expect the public to call me an idiot. I'm pretty sure that's why "somone" doesn't fix problems more often. But I can take it.
The survey will take several weeks to pull together. I'll give you the results when they are in.
On a separate note, I probably won't post an entry until later this week. I'll tell you what I'm up to later. It's not a vacation, but it is a good thing.

New blend makes antioxidant rich chocolate easier to create, says Wild Chocolate products full of natural antioxidants are growing in popularity as consumers associate antioxidants with healthy living.
But to create antioxidant rich products manufacturers normally have to buy special quality cocoa beans, with high levels of antioxidants. Furthermore, processing has to be gentle to ensure that the finished product is still high in antioxidants, said a Wild spokesperson.
Natural powder blend
With its new natural powder blend, Wild plans to make it easer for chocolate makers to formulate antioxidant rich chocolate products.
The blend itself contains plant extracts from green and white tea as well as green rooibos and grape seeds, which all have high and standardised levels of polyphenols, according to Wild.
The powder blend can be added to chocolate bars or pralines, with or without fruit fillings, to boost antioxidant levels and allow manufacturers to use less rarified cocoa beans.
In addition, the blend can be added to the chocolate mass after conching so that the polyphenols, or antioxidants, are not destroyed by the processing.
The consistency and taste of the chocolate is unaffected by the addition of the powder blend, said the company spokesperson.

Hey Crazy, so from what I take from your post is, you are really looking in the the raid utility of the class and surviablity. Im in the "other boat" as it were. I have my Prot warrior for my raids and have an alt pali that im working with. So im not that well versed with the pali side. But i can touch base on why I prefer Warrior over Pali.
About the ever elusive Warrior (Passive) block cap, you are right, Pali has a far easier time reaching it than warrior, but warrior can still reach it in current content while sporting heroic gear. Prior to that its all about mastery food and elixer.
As for warrior CD's? Well, for the most part they all fall fairly close to a pali, so I cant really put too much into that other than its not only the big Cds that make a warrior and enjoyable experince. Pali tank are in a great place atm and are the most powerful tank in current content. So if any thing it should really boil down to play style. Pali with slightly better CDs and or a Warrior with the slightly weaker CDs, But the thing that trumphs all of the pali stuff for me, as prot Warrior you have truck load of stuns (atleast 4 depending on race). But For me its mobility, you can zipp around alot faster than a pali, 2 types of charge that can be used as an intrupts as well, innerve to save some asses or to quickly get out/away of something, and we get the skill "No path avalible" (also known as Heroic Leap) great for kiting and getting around. This mobility is that selling point for me.
Sry I couldnt put things in to a better mathmatical term, but honesty Play style should be what ur looking at. If your guild is chasing world/server firsts and you need to min/max, then I say get them both geared up, and use which ever one is strongest with current content at the time of need.
Hope this helps!!

Located in southern Egypt on the Nile River, Luxor is near the Valley of the Kings, which is home to the well-known Egyptian tomb attractions of Nefertari and Tutankhamun. It's a great boat ride from Cairo and offers a glimpse into the glory, and important use of the Nile river. Luxor also has the monuments of Colossi of Memnon, Rames III and Karnak.

Kate Bosworth Style Pictures
Over a Decade of Kate Bosworth's Effortlessly Cool Style
While Kate Bosworth is fascinating to watch for her talents on screen, it's her offscreen expertise as a red carpet beauty, street-chic queen, and jewelry maven that has us under a major style spell. By mixing up Isabel Marant, her own JewelMint pieces, Proenza Schouler, Burberry, and Calvin Klein (to name a few), Kate has proven her undeniable knack for putting together laid-back, impossibly cool ensembles with enviable ease. Case in point: her cutoffs and American flag tee at Coachella two years ago incited a near-overnight fashion craze and a siege of street style copycats. We could go on and on about how she gets it so right, but we'd rather just see her envy-inducing outfits for ourselves. Scroll through to get a healthy dose of inspiration now.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- A heated meeting to discuss the consolidation of two fire houses in Albany was held Tuesday night.
The West Albany Fire Department has decided to close one firehouse to save money. Station Number One on Osborne Road will close, leaving Station Number Two on Sand Creek Road open. The move will save at least $67,000 a year the station pays in rent.
Many were critical of the plan, saying it could affect response times and public safety. But supporters say that's not a concern and it will make the department more efficient.
"If we put everybody under one roof, our response times are better, we go out with full crews and everybody knows we're coming to one place. Now we don't have people to going to two different places," said Lawrence Morrell, Chairman of the Board of Fire Commissioners.
The stations were less than a mile apart from each other. The fire district itself covers less than two miles.
Station Number One will close for good December 31st.

In very low traffic scenarios there's a bit of give and take between motorists and cyclists so it is manageable, in peak periods or higher volume or speed roads, it's pretty horrible. (Parry St, Fremantle, at High St, says hi)
Having experienced a couple of busses doing a left turn at the Parry Street/High Street intersection I really appreciate the adding of the green painted lanes. They have in my experience significantly changed driver behaviour in a positive way. Funy thing how some green paint can have such an impact.
Andrew, in which positive way did the behaviour change?
This is pretty much the same type of road marking I was referring to. It basically asks motorist to turn left from the middle lane across a lane that goes straight ahead. That to me sound very, very dumb!
Would this happen if it was a normal road lane?? No way. So why do it to a bike lane. It is asking for accidents.
The photo that wizdofaus linked to was easier for all to understand.
If there is not enough room for that many lanes then get rid of the bike lane Then the normal rules about bikes passing cars on the left etc. applies.

Call of Duty: Ghosts coming to next-gen Xbox, PS4, and current-gen consoles
by Andrew Yoon, shacknews.com, May 1, 2013 10:00AM PDT
Updated with more official details and comments from Activision.
Lo and behold, the rumors are true. Activision has gone to Twitter to confirm that Call of Duty: Ghosts is, indeed, this year's entry in the long-running COD franchise. The tweet describes the game as "the next generation of Call of Duty."
According to Activision, Ghosts will be powered by a "new, next-gen Call of Duty engine," likely the DirectX 11 engine leaked last year. In addition to PS4 and next Xbox versions, Ghosts will also be available on PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. Those versions will be available on November 5th. (Next-gen consoles have yet to be dated.)
While many speculated that Ghosts would be related to the Modern Warfare franchise, Activision's official description calls the new game "a riveting all-new gameplay experience built on an entirely new story, setting and cast of characters."
"Everyone was expecting us to make Modern Warfare 4, which would have been the safe thing to do. But we're not resting on our laurels," Mark Rubin, executive producer at Infinity Ward, said in a press release. "We saw the console transition as the perfect opportunity to start a new chapter for Call of Duty. So we're building a new sub-brand, a new engine, and a lot of new ideas and experiences for our players. We can't wait to share them with our community."
It appears Activision's close relationship with Microsoft will continue with Ghosts, as the publisher promises an "exclusive first look" at the game during the reveal of the next Xbox.

Betty White has fallen in and out of fashion during a career that has spanned parts of nine decades. Take a look back at her career.
After working in radio and TV as far back as 1939, White landed the biggest gig of her career to that point in 1949, appearing on the daily, live variety show "Hollywood on Television" on KLAC-TV in Los Angeles.
White created the sitcom "Life with Elizabeth," which ran from 1953 to 1955, based off a character she played on "Hollywood on Television."
Following "Life with Elizabeth," she appeared as Vicki Angel on the sitcom "Date with the Angels" from 1957 to 1958.
Her first movie role came playing a U.S. senator in the star-studded 1962 political drama "Advise and Consent," which also featured Henry Fonda, Charles Laughton and Gene Tierney.
White married game show host Allen Ludden, her third husband, in 1963 and remained married to him until his death from stomach cancer on June 9, 1981.
From the 1950s on through the early 1990s, White was a frequent guest on game shows, including several variations of her husband's show, "Password," and "The Match Game" (pictured).
White's break-through role came as Sue Ann Nivens on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show." She appeared in 42 episodes of the show between 1973 and 1977, winning two Emmys in three nominations.
When "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" went off the air in 1977, White got her own sitcom, "The Betty White Show." However, the show would last only 14 episodes.
For the next several years, most of her roles came in TV movies and in cameos on TV series, including "Fame," "Hotel," "St. Elsewhere" and "Who's the Boss?" She made her first appearance on "The Love Boat" in 1980, and then returned in 1981 playing a different character, aging showgirl Betsy Boucher, which would become a recurring role she would play a total of four times through 1985. She's seen here in an episode alongside Carol Channing.
She also had a recurring role on the first two seasons of "Mama's Family" in 1983-84, reprising the character of Ellen Harper Jackson that she originally had played on "The Carol Burnett Show" in the 1970s.
White landed the other signature role of her career in 1985, playing the ditzy Minnesota farm girl Rose Nylund on "The Golden Girls" alongside Rue McClanahan, Bea Arthur and Estelle Getty.
The show won 11 Emmys over its seven seasons, including one for White in 1986. She was also nominated another six times for the show.
White continued acting throughout the 1990s, including roles on shows such as "Bob," "Diagnosis Murder" and "Suddenly Susan." But it was her scene-stealing role in the 1999 man-eating-crocodile horror-comedy "Lake Placid" that started a career resurgence. She played against type as a foul-mouthed, batty old woman who doesn't report a 30-foot crocodile who ate her husband because she doesn't want anyone to kill the animal.
White and "Cheers" star Ted Danson arrive at NBC studios for the network's 75th Anniversary show on May 5, 2002.
The cast of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," including (from left to right) Ed Asner, Valerie Harper, John Amos, Mary Tyler Moore, Cloris Leachman, Betty White and Gavin MacLeod, after accepting the Ground Breaking Show award during the TV Land Awards on March 7, 2004.
White, Rue McClanahan and Bea Arthur pose during a party to celebrate the DVD release of "The Golden Girls: The Complete First Season" on Nov. 18, 2004.
White greets her "Mary Tyler Moore" co-star Ed Asner as she arrives for the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences' tribute in her honor on Aug. 7, 2008.
White continued her scene-stealing ways and career resurgence with a role opposite Sandra Bullock in 2009's "The Proposal."
White reacts to a standing ovation as she accepts the Career Achievement award at the 25th Annual Television Critics Association Awards on Aug. 1, 2009.
Bullock embraces White as she presents her with a lifetime achievement award at the 16th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles on Jan. 23, 2010.
White appeared in one of the most memorable commercials from Super Bowl XLIV in February 2010, launching the Snickers' "You're not you when you're hungry" ad campaign.
After a grassroots Facebook campaign, White was chosen to host "Saturday Night Live" on May 8, 2010, making her the oldest host, at age 88, in the show's history. She also won an Emmy for the appearance.
White took on another sitcom in 2010, this time starring with Wendie Malick, Valerie Bertinelli and Jane Leeves in TV Land's first sitcom "Hot in Cleveland."
"Mad Men" star Jon Hamm joins White to announce the winner for outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series at the 62nd annual Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles on Aug. 29, 2010.
White arrives at the annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor awards ceremony hosted by the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 9, 2010.
Comedian Tina Fey hugs White after receiving her Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on Nov. 9, 2010.
White looks at a display honoring her before she was inducted into the California Hall of Fame in Sacramento, Calif., on Dec. 14, 2010. White was born in Oak Park, Ill., but her family moved to Los Angeles during the Great Depression. She attended Horace Mann School in Beverly Hills and Beverly Hills High School.
White appeared in her own 2011 calendar, with all proceeds from the tongue-in-cheek pin-up calendar going to various animal charities she supports.
White accepts the award for outstanding female actor in a comedy series for her role in "Hot in Cleveland" at the 17th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on Jan. 30, 2011.
White touches the lips of her wax figure during its unveiling at Madame Tussauds Hollywood wax museum on June 4, 2012.
White visits with President Barack Obama in the Oval Office on June 11, 2012. White was in Washington, D.C., to give a speech at the Smithsonian. During her visit to the White House, she also walked on the South Lawn with the first dog, Bo.
