15 Delicious International Holiday Food Traditions
Many major holidays, like Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Year's Eve, are celebrated in nations across the globe, but food traditions vary from place to place. Find out how people around the world dine during the end of the year's most festive celebrations.
By Lauren Haslett
Israel: Sufganiyot
Sufganiyot — fried, jelly-filled doughnuts — are a popular Hanukkah treat in Israel and in Jewish communities around the world. Different countries may call desserts like these by different names (in Russia, ponchik; in Poland, pączki), but wherever they're found, sufganiyot are, like many other foods eaten during the Festival of Lights, deep fried in oil. They are a traditional and thoroughly indulgent holiday dessert.

There are several sisters from this order in our Diocese. Please tune in!
"During this holiday season"??? What's the problem with saying "Christmas"? And these are nuns!
Normally I would agree with the Christmas comment but in light of the date that the program airs, it is safe to say that Thanksgiving is not Christmas yet is part of a season filled with various holy days...thus the holiday season.
We must remain vigilant to ensure that Christ remains part of Christmas.
so exciting! I was at first professions and saw all the Harpo guys filming so I figured they were doing a 2nd episode :)
Cool it Bud. I know several of these wonderful sisters and one of my good friends just joined their order. You couldn't find a more orthodox and joyful community of completely faithful religious. They are a light of hope to those who only associate nuns with pant suits.
I think someone is discerning a vocation. . . one of the sisters said Oprah's producer who spent time in the convent was very loathe to leave and was invited back. . pray everyone!
I am so sick of the "best" Catholics being so quick to jump on every real or imagined "offense." Bud is clearly a better, more faithful, more Christ-centered Catholic than these sisters. It's great to be fervent. But easy to become a Pharisee.
I'm just wondering, Patm, how many of these Sisters do you actual know? Or have you even met them? Talk about Pharisees...
"Judge ye not lest ye be judged. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" Sound familiar? Clearly Sister is correct in saying that it is the Thanksgiving holiday since the program airs November 23rd and Thanksgiving is on the 25th.The Church calendar for 2010 shows that Advent, the period of preparation for Christmas, begins on November 30th. We should all be thankful that young Christian Catholic women in large numbers are joining, this orthodox religious order that still wears a habit. More so, we ought to praise God and be grateful that this program is appearing on a popular secular network. With all the negative press the media has promoted about the Catholic Church in the past years, this truly is a breath of fresh air. Glory to you O Lord and help our grumbling judgmental remarks to cease!

More Trams

Happy memories at a more leisurely pace!
- Saturday, 23 March, 2013
These are wonderful photos of the old trams, don't they look classy, I absolutely love them, (think I was born too late!) Thank you so much for sharing them.
- Saturday, 23 March, 2013

When I'm in Blackpool or down Manchester, I always ride the trams, I think my love of trams comes from growing up down Brook Street which was very close to the Tram Depot on Mottram Road.
Although the trams had long since gone when I was a little kid back in the early 70's, I can still remember the tram building, and also seeing the tram lines which had been left in the road when it was undergoing re-tarmacing work.
But this photo gives me an opportunity to bring up a bit of a fascination of mine, the building behind the trams to the left, it must stand where Nat' West' & Boots stands now, it's always there in the background of old photos of Hyde Square, and it's always interested me. What is the history behind this building and is there more detailed photos of the building as it looks very handsome?
- Saturday, 23 March, 2013
Interesting to see that the Joint Board tram is open fronted, but the number 19 has an enclosed cabin for the driver. Much more civilised.
Does anyone know which company is operating the number 19 and where did that service run?
- Saturday, 23 March, 2013
Barry in Oz. I rode the last trams in Hyde, the 210 from Hyde to Piccadilly. As slow as a wet week.
- Sunday, 24 March, 2013
I think the building Chris is referring to was the one which housed the District Bank, and yes it was very attractive.
- Sunday, 24 March, 2013
Barry in Oz, bit like the 210 trolley bus which replaced it then!

- Leebro said...
Bill, I'm fairly sure that service No.19 was operated jointly by SHMD and Manchester Corporation,whose tram is in the picture and it went from Hyde Town Hall to Manchester Exchange Station, termination near to the old Cromwell statue.

Did the seat backs hinge so passengers could face forward as the trams were driven from either end?

Women's nickname pajamas can be personalized with your favorite naughty nickname, silly pet name, or romantic sweet nothing.

Athletic Training Program Earns 'Gold Standard' Review
WC Receives Maximum 10-Year Accreditation
September 20, 2012
Senior Liz Delehanty provides an ultrasound treatment to freshman football player Alex Koyfis as head trainer Brian Dykhuizen (left) and program director Larry Howard observe.
Earning the "gold standard," maximum 10-year accreditation provides the icing on the cake of a banner year for Wilmington College's athletic training program.
The College recently learned it met the highest standards set forth by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education. It represented the culmination of an intensive two-year process.
The year 2012 also has witnessed, among other things, the program and its students winning state competitions, attaining a 100 percent pass rate on the National Certification Exam and seeing all of its 2012 graduates either employed in the field or enrolled in graduate school.
"We were very successful with the accreditation — they confirmed we we're compliant with all the standards," program director Larry Howard said.
He said the accreditation certifies the quality of the College's program and confirms a standard for which everyone, from future students and their parents to prospective employers of WC graduates, can be assured of the education they will receive or have received.
"When we send them away from here, we have to be 100 percent sure they are competent," he said in commending the AT faculty and staff.
Howard and Jennifer Walker, assistant professor of athletic training, played lead roles in the exhaustive accreditation process.
They led the compilation of a 700-page, self-study document that provided a comprehensive look at all aspects of the athletic training program.
"They read our self-study document and went back and forth with me for clarification — from start to finish, it was a lengthy process," Howard said, noting that, after the accreditation team finished with the document, they spent three days in Wilmington.
"They interviewed everybody from the president of the College to new freshmen — virtually everybody associated with the program," he said. "They spoke with clinical instructors, librarians and 65 students, and went on tours of such clinical sites as Wilmington High School and Clinton Memorial Hospital's physical therapy facility, everywhere we send our students for field experience."
Howard, who has experience as an athletic training accreditation team evaluator, said most colleges and universities average 10 instances of noncompliance while Wilmington had but one — "and it was easily corrected."
He said the commission could issue program accreditation status ranging from a two-year probation period to five, seven and the maximum 10 years between site visits.
"Our alumni will be pleased to learn about the 10-year accreditation — this really serves to endorse the value of their education," Howard added, noting alumni are some of the program's best recruiters of new students.
The accreditation news caps 2012 as a banner year for the program. Other highlights include:
• WC was Ohio Athletic Training Quiz Bowl Champion in 2012 and five of last six years.
• A Wilmington student received the Ohio Athletic Training Association's Undergraduate Exceptional Research Award in 2012 and seven of last eight years.
• The College entered into an agreement with Beacon Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine and Drayer Physical Therapy Institute to be its sports medicine providers.
• The AT program began the fall 2012 semester with 103 majors.
• 100 percent of senior athletic training majors passed the national certification exam on their first attempt each of the past two years. The national rate is about 60 percent.
• All 2012 graduates have jobs or are in grad school.
Howard said WC athletic training graduates typically have multiple job offers and the present appears to be an especially opportune time in which to study athletic training.
"The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which tracks job forecasts, has indicated that athletic training will be in the top 10 for job opportunities for the next 10 years," he said.


text: Groovy Lena Horne from the 60s – an album that's a heck of a lot hipper and more swinging than most of her sets from a decade before! That unmistakable Horne style of singing is still very much in place here – but the backings are often tightly punctuated, with a gently soulful groove that definitely lives up to the title, and which serves up most of the tracks with a nice little sense of rhythm. Ray Ellis is working here with Lena on the backings – and his style is arguably a bit groovier than usual too, with more of the syncopations you might find in mid 60s Quincy Jones or Oliver Nelson. Titles include "I Got A Worried Man", "What The World Needs Now Is Love", "Love Bug", "Taste Of Honey", "I'd Like To Hear It Sometime", and "You Know What To Do". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Good Samaritan Clinic of Western Colorado, a free health-care service in Grand Junction, found a new home. Until recently, this volunteer-run medical option lacked a stable location. Now, its permanent office will be 2470 Patterson Road, #1B
For almost a year, Good Samaritan volunteers have held free health clinics at rotating, non-permanent locations, volunteer Brian Watson said.
"We are currently working on our new space," Watson said. "We're unbelievably excited about (it). It will be nice for the community to have consistency. No one has to wonder where it's going to be."
While Samaritan's next two walk-in clinics will be held at its new location - June 23 and July 28 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. - a grand opening won't be scheduled until August.
Services available at Good Samaritan clinics include basic medical care and exams, prescriptions and mental health screenings. Specialized treatment options like physical therapy, speech therapy and vision screenings are also given.
And, if medical conditions can't be treated at the clinic, Watson said volunteers can facilitate other treatment options.
All treatment is free, and the clinic's purpose is to help people within Mesa County with little or no health insurance.
Most recently, medical tables were given to fill Good Samaritan Clinic's permanent location. And, since 30-60 people show up for each free clinic, Watson said donations like this are always appreciated and needed
In the past, supplies have been donated by Community Hospital, Mesa Medical Supply, various agencies, individuals and Project Hope.
Only 10 months old, Good Samaritan Clinic was born when Lloyd Davis, a behavior health department supervisor at Community Hospital, approached Downtown Vineyard pastor Paul Watson. The project began under the umbrella of the church, a 501c3 nonprofit.
More than 200 volunteers are currently connected to Good Samaritan Clinic, and more are always needed, Watson said.

what a breath of fresh air in the midst of the crowded congested miami area. This place is a dream to stay in. Better to eat before you go here, as the restaurants are not that friendly or cost effective, but they are handy if you are hungry and don't want to go out. Every hotel worker we encountered was as helpful as can be, and seemed genuinely interested in our comfort at their hotel.
Overall, a wonderful experience

- The AAA Four Diamond Awarded hotel features 275 guest rooms including 130 spacious Mediterranean styled suites and two famed Presidential Suites, a Donald Ross 18 hole golf course, 10 lighted tennis courts, the signature Palme d'Or restaurant, Biltmore Spa, The Culinary Academy, 75,000 square feet of meeting and function space and is a preferred venue for notable high society events and weddings.The legendary Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables has been a favorite of world leaders, celebrities, and sports stars since its opening in the 1920s. Offering much more than exceptional accommodations, the Biltmore Hotel showcases championship golf, cosmopolitan dining, a luxury spa and premier conference facilities, all while exceeding our refined guests' expectations.

Jude Landry's work (#1) feels conceptually driven, rather than a particular style being repeated. The thoughtfulness and detail is evident in each project, including this one. I dig this typography. It's very approachable and readable. Alex Trochut (#2) is an amazing letterer from Barcelona. With an extensive heritage in the type world (his grandfather was a printmaker and typographic designer), he definitely shows his uniqueness through endless experimentations that push the limits of type to the extreme. The way he uses unusual things, like the spaghetti, to make up his type is really interesting and makes it fun to look at. I love Riley Cran's branding (#3) for Swallowed Sun Brewing Co. — it's accessible, fun and to the point. He works out of Seattle, Washington, and has quite the handle on creating compelling logos and marks. His Colour choices are simple and clean and point towards a classic feeling.

Further reading may include http://www.wowwiki.com/Attack_table
I still don't understand where this 9% miss (hit) is coming from. All characters have a base 5% miss on their combat table, and 540 defense brings you up to 10.6% miss on your combat table.
Also, to be fair, having over 100% avoidance has existed in the past. It's the reason sunwell radiance existed in sunwell. I've seen tanks (and rogues) in gear in TBC that allowed for them to avoid every single attack on the melee table. This is also the reason they put diminishing returns on avoidance so it can't happen again.
Also, I've not heard of Warriors struggling to put out comparable threat to Paladins at the least. TBH I don't know a lot of DK tanks. Most of the DKs I know hate how DK tanking feels.
santoro... me thinks these things you think do not mean what you think of them.
Agg's reasons why we do what we do pretty much answers every question you have then some.
An introduction into WarTanking (no longer updated as I've retired from WoW - the concepts will still be mostly accurate but the numbers no longer will be.) - http://www.tankspot.com/showthread.p...101-The-Primer
i tank with all three Plate classes and the only main difference is how the threat comes, Warriors is bursty as hell, Paladins are nice and consistant, and DKs are kinda in the middle, and IT spam streak is prolly even more bursty than an SnB proc streak while SB is up....or maybe not.
No, it isn't. Maybe on the WoW forums, but not here. Here it is called unhittable.as for the hard cap as it is most often refered to
Not really. I could clarify, but I said nothing about avoidance cap... just the unhittable number of 102.4%. Rogues can actually hit this now too (outside of ICC) as I recall. There was a thread a while back where someone theorycrafted it.Mel misspoke. Avoidance cap is impossible due to hard coded game mechanics.
The only person mentioning a "hard cap" on avoidance is the OP.

now that the thread has started having bits of real discussion...
Threat IS a problem as of now and it's been foretold right here in this forum that it would happen. When tanks were way ahead in threat and blizzard was nerfing the dps portion of tank threat, it was predicted that when the 30% icc buff hit the compounding effects would start overwhelming the static threat modifiers of tanking abilities. We've come to that point.
If we are to take the OPs original post to mean that once "too much EH" comes into play, gemming for something else becomes viable, i would also disagree like the rest of the posters. Too much EH is a sign that you're overgearing the encounter and that it's time to move onto something harder. That something harder are heroic modes. If threat is an issue, it means your dps overgears the encounter. In that case, you should, again, be tanking heroic modes.
Once we establish that the proper "placement" of a tank with high EH is an encounter that again jeopardizes his survival, staying with, keeping & improving survival gear, in terms of EH, again becomes the norm.
If we are to help our raid through something other than EH, it would almost always boil down to higher threat. Higher threat = higher possible dps output and if you have dps who actually makes use of the higher ceiling, then a faster kill, which means less healing for the healers too.
As for the OPs personal experience with threat, i've been in similar situations. My own guild has stopped raiding 25man content and people broke off for SC2 or just quit till Cataclysm. So instead, i'm regularly running 25HC with the alt raid of our server's #1 guild. Worst dps clocks in at 10K, average being around 13K dps (i'm talking saurfanglike encounters here), going up as high as 15-16K dps. The switch from a casual environment to suddenly where everybody was challenging my threat has been.....both a pleasure and a rude awakening.
I'm co-tanking with a bear, a dk and a paladin depending on the day on those runs. Warrior AoE threat is woefully inadequate relative to those classes. ALL of our threat is inadequate to a starfalling boomkin. No amount of misdirect solves that. On single target however, i can see warriors still being king of the hill.
On a more useful note, solving the threat problem is again done through other means than reevaluating our gemming & enchanting. Gems & enchants are more or less permanent, things you dont change from fight to fight. Therefore i've opted to switch out my vigilance & glyphs to achieve threat boosts.
Without misdirects, i can pull around 10K TPS by myself + raidbuffs. That gives a 13K dps melee dps ceiling and we have people easily topping that.
My #1 go-to is vigilance. I make sure i monitor threat throughout the fight & put it on the person who'll give me the best benefit. This usually involves frequently changing vigilance between a cat dps, a fury warrior or a boomkin.
My #2 go-to was changing out the glyphs. With enrage timers & tank switches & high dps, i've been needing 2 min shield wall & last stand less and less (i till need the EH, Putricide 25HC with 4 stacks can hit pretty hard and we sometimes saw a 5th now & then - but i still need my cooldowns only once per fight so a long cooldown is still not a problem) so i switched out those glyphs for high threat ones. Now i can pull out 13K sustained TPS, with misdirects going as high as 21K TPS at the start of a fight - problem solved.
TLDR: If you outgear the place, tank something harder, if you're having threat problems, change things other than gear. EH gear is always useful & should stay the same.
PS: I really REALLY would suggest you read through the guides on this site. I would especially recommend all of Satrina's Guides and then Aggathon's more recent work.

You want a greater emphasis on something other than armor and stamina. Okay, I think everyone gets that. But that's the way WotLK is, so unless you've got 25H LK on farm, it's still the best gearing option even if it's rediculously over-geared for loot ship. Maybe that will change in Cata, but wanting the world to be different doesn't make it so.
An introduction into WarTanking (no longer updated as I've retired from WoW - the concepts will still be mostly accurate but the numbers no longer will be.) - http://www.tankspot.com/showthread.p...101-The-Primer
That's what I meant about clarification.... this would fix it: Avoidance/block.Well you were talking about a gear set that actually existed that got you 102.4% avoidance, and that it existed in a thread somewhere on this site.
There was someone who theorycrafted an avoidance set on a rogue though.... but only outside of ICC. I can't seem to find it though.

Then why did you ask me to link the unhittable armor set in the links I posted?theres nothing in these posts i havent already read or hadnt already known long b4 this thread
Ok, I dont know what everyone elses HIt chance is, but im around 25% is every other tank in line with that? because if not, then i dont think we are talking about the same stat. I keep seeing people refer to avoidence ... Im combat table shows, dodged, parried, blocked, MISSED. So if you follow one site, and dont like what im bringing to the table, perhaps go to war with other crafters that disagree with some of the prementioned information on this site.. frankly, I cant belive people think im making this stuff up.. What machanic of wow do you think you have a firm grasp on?
Fledern Just said in a post above that conpounding effects were overwhelming static threat modifiers. That by it self makes clear the point that the cookie cutter build is out dated. Now, he has made several suggestions as to how one should go about adjusting. I personally DO NOT mind chenging jems out fight per fight. I dont like to, But i dont mind. would i give up glyphing my cds for threat right now? probily not. But everyone has they're own way of doing things.
Point is, If your wiping on heroic LK with a 30% buff, Odds are all the EHP in the world is not going to help you. However, Putting yourself in a situation to require less raid support just might.
worlds first tanks were indeed geared for EH.. your missing the rest of that story >>> partly in TOC gear, with no icc buff, and no forums with a step by step encounter drawn out... You cannot compare yourself to them.. or anyother tank ... thats why they are wrld first
Last edited by praetoria; 08-16-2010 at 10:41 AM. Reason: fail quoting
WHy is it here, you are seperating hittable and avoidence, but in other portions of this thread, others seem to be unable to make that seperation? im just courious?
also, i have said this once already, my hit chance is about 24% ... is ur toon in line with this? as i said perviously,
combat table : reduced hit chance by 9% (after soft cap). so roughly hit hance of 24% before the icc debuff, or 9% after 540.
I cant find the OP, but this was compared to hiting the hard expertise cap (58?) from a dps point of view. So this is the "thery" behind the math. It all holds up its just not as stright forward as "EHP is king" which i think in itself leaves a bad taste in some people's mouth

You just slammed the one guy who was basically defending you.well me thinks your an idiot..
No, I've never seen the name. Also, you probably can't find it because it was either A) outdated or B) incorrect.IS anyone in here fimilar with whitetooth? he used to have tankspot forums... I cant seem to find his ehp vs avoid discussion.. it was on this site at one point
You haven't read any of the links posted, have no clue what you are talking about, and are now basically trolling. We've tried to help you, but you just don't get it.
In case you don't remember, ICC was gated progression. These guilds farmed the gear before they could progress further into ICC. They weren't as 'hard up' as you make them out to be.worlds first tanks were indeed geared for EH.. your missing the rest of that story >>> partly in TOC gear, with no icc buff, and no forums with a step by step encounter drawn out... You cannot compare yourself to them.. or anyother tank ... thats why they are wrld first
Also: They were in full 258 Heroic gear.
As well: The gear in ToC is REALLY well itemized, Satrina's/Jugg's is STILL one of the best trinkets in the game.
How about you actually try clicking on the links I posted and read them before you say you have. It's pretty blatantly obvious you have not.
While you are at it, have a read over these:
In particular:
This site is dedicated to helping people tank better. There are a lot of people here who do a lot of hard work to figure out how things work in game. There's nothing wrong with arguing against the common wisdom - that's how a lot of what is currently common wisdom came to be! However, if you are making an argument without any sort of evidence, math, or theory as to why something is wrong, you're just trolling.

5% base + 2% Night Elf racial + 16% from having INFINITE amount of Defense rating = 23%
It is technicly possible to have 24% melee hit as a Warrior, but I wonder how your gear must look then.
MY guess is that he means the chance on the attack table for hits.
That means (without Icewell Radiance) he's just past ICC 10 gearwise. Although if he gems lots of Defense it might actually be less, block chance and all that.

Posts Tagged 'Ultimate Bacon Jalapeno Sausage Super Fatty'
Diva Q Ultimate Bacon Jalapeño Sausage Super Fatty & Superbowl Buffet recipes
A fantastic Super bowl 2012 bbq buffet !
Ok I admit it. I know absolutely 0% about football. I don't understand the game, I don't cheer for any teams and I have no interest in it until the Superbowl. Aside from the commercials (go ahead and judge me) I just like the opportunity to cook for a crowd. Namely – my husband, his buddies and the wives.
Our menu for this year will include ribs, Diva Q 4 cheese abt's, BBQ Pit Boys beans, BBQ Beef nachos, chicken wings with a spicy piri piri sauce, bacon wrapped super fatty, and of course lots of libations!
Here is the number one searched recipe that I have posted in the past for superbowl snacking ! It feeds an enormous crowd of hungry game watchers!
Diva Q Ultimate Bacon Jalapeño Sausage Super Fatty
This is a party sized appetizer of enormous proportions – deliciously decadent…Absolutely this is one of my all time favorites from the grill…
4 lbs sausage (3 regular 1 hot)
2 lbs bacon
3-5 jalapeños (cored membrane removed and sliced in half)
2 tablespoons Smoky Mountain Smokers Spicy BBQ Rub
5 tbsp garlic tobasco sauce
5 green onions chopped
2 packages cream cheese
4 tbsp 3eyz BBQ rub
3/4 c Strodes Cherry BBQ sauce
5 tbsp garlic powder
3 tbsp onion powder
2 tbsp Chipotle powder
Mix all the filling ingredients together in a bowl and set aside in a piping bag with large nozzle.
Lay 3 feet of saran wrap on kitchen counter
Spread out sausage (no casings) on the plastic wrap evenly spreading the mixture to approx 1/2″ thick and forming a rectangular shape that is 21/2 feet long.
place the jalapeños in a line down the center of the sausage mixture
Pipe the cheese mixture onto the jalapeños going the entire length of the sausage.
Using the plastic wrap to aid you bring the sides of the sausage mixture up and around the jalapeños and cheese forming a cylindrical tube.
Place on a large tray and chill in fridge or if room allows the freezer for 30 minutes.
Lay 3 feet of saran wrap on the counter. Arrange the strips of bacon to slightly overlap each other. Depending on the thickness of your bacon you will need between 2 – 3 lbs of bacon . (Please see picture above)
Remove the sausage from the fridge. Roll the sausage out of the saran wrap onto the bacon layers.
Bring the pieces of the bacon at the ends up first then continue to bring the bacon slices up onto the sausage until fully enclosed in bacon.
Sprinkle the entire fatty with the Smoky Mountain Smokers Spicy BBQ rub.
Prepare your grill for indirect cooking medium heat (275-300F).
******* Big Caution here… its a LOT of bacon. Bacon grease fires are serious business. Ensure your grill if using charcoal or propane or gas – utilizes a pan (with about 2 inches of water) under the fatty to capture the bacon grease. Always be prepared with a fire extinguisher and baking soda in case of a grease fire. Stay put and stay close. YOu don't ever want to be far from a grill that has bacon on it. *******
Place the fatty on your grill in a horseshoe shape. BBQ your fatty until the internal temperature in many locations when probed reaches 165F (approx 2-3hours) and the bacon is crsipy. Glaze in the last few moments of cooking with the Strodes Cherry BBQ sauce. Remove from heat and rest at least 15 minutes. Slice and serve with additional BBQ sauce and hot sauces.

Akio Takamori
American (born in Japan), b. 1950
Leda and the Swan, 1993
57.8 x 52.4 x 15.6 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift from the collection of Robert and Meridel Archambeau
Japanese-born Akio Takamori apprenticed with a master folk potter in Japan before continuing his formal studies in ceramics in the United States in the 1970s. Now working out of Seattle, his works explore both vessel-making and sculpture. Leda and the Swan is indicative of the reintroduction of the figure into his practice in the mid-1990s. The strong graphic quality of the work is emphasized by the use of minimal colour with heavy, bold outlines. Areas of concentrated energy, conveyed by concentric circles or repeated geometric forms, are countered by the overall intimate, gentle rhythm of the two entwined figures, sensuously wrapping the contours of the vessel.

I need to learn more about what other classes can do and really need to know these things for pvp :P
if anyone can post a site or tell me how i can learn these things without making a char and leveling it to 80 with every class i would be very happy face
<JINX> Runetotem-US - 6/8H Recruiting All Classes! - http://jinx.com/guild
Live Stream - http://twitch.tv/razilius
Will it show all or do i have to search?
you have to search, and please refrain from posting this in 2 forums at once. just once is enough.
READ THIS: Posting & Chat Rules
Here's an example for finding abilities for a class in wowhead;
Search for: Paladin
In teh drop-down menu that appears while you type, click the "paladin" class selection. In the window that loads, go to Abilities.
Might be a less convoluted way, I just poked in there right now and found that method quickly.
Here ya go, not sure if this will help out, but a cool little chart I picked up a long time ago about Buff stacking and stuff.
Edit: Oh, and a note, this is obviously not updated for 4.0... lol so probably irrevelant info to your question.

Kitchen Mistakes We Made So You Don't Have To
Our food experts know a good idea when they see one. Working side by side in a test kitchen, one eye on their cutting board and the other on their neighbors, is the next best thing to standing next to cook-wise grandmothers at the stove. With their swapping of tips and techniques as commonplace as passing the olive oil, we thought it was time for the rest of us to take advantage of some of that insider info.
Even the best of the best slip up from time to time; check out their messiest mistakes and learn their kitchen secrets.
Time Saver: Whisk. Don't Sift.
Leave the sifter on the shelf when combining dry ingredients for baking. Weve found that for basic cakes and cookies, simply whisking together the flour, leaveners, and spices in a bowl removes any lumps and aerates everything sufficiently.

WHAT IS IT?A remake, overhaul and redesign of the original PodMX knee brace.
WHAT'S IT COST? The K700 braces sell for $799.95 for the pair or $424.95 each.
WHAT'S IT DO? When the Pod knee brace was introduced to American riders, it changed the dynamic of the knee brace business. Developed by an orthopedic surgeon in Australia, the PodMX knee brace gained phenomenal momentum against its competitors?especially the Asterisk knee brace and CTi. Where the CTi brace was, in our humble opinion, prohibitively expensive, and the Asterisk was unreliable and clumsy, the PodMX came in at a reasonable price and with well-thought-out mechanical parts.
Unlike many knee braces, the PodMX knee brace uses space-age technology that incorporates a TPU (thermoplastic urethane) tendon. Inspired by human anatomy, Pod's polymer hinge supports the knee's natural range of motion at every arc and angle of movement. Two TPU tendons (one on each side of the brace) allow the brace to maintain the same natural movement as the rider's knee. The original Pod knee brace is now available in two models the K300 and the K700. The MXA wrecking crew set out to test the high-end K700.
WHAT STANDS OUT? Here's a list of things that stand out with the PodMX K700 knee brace.
(1) Movement. Every test rider loves the Pod's polymer hinge system and its synthetic ligaments. It makes the braces easier to wear, because the synthetic ligament provides not only tension in one direction, but a springy feel in the other. The PodMX K700's tendon makes the brace feels less restrictive and more bionic. It is the easiest knee brace to walk around in between motos.
(2) Insurance. PodMX ligament knee braces are medical-grade products, covered by most health insurance plans if you have a doctor's prescription.
(3) Straps. Which is the most important strap on a knee brace? The one directly below the knee. Why? This is the strap that binds the knee brace to your leg. In most cases, the MXA test riders cross the two lower straps over one another in an X pattern (even though the knee brace reps tell us not to). This trick makes the brace even more secure than the normal manner of attachment. PodMX added large pull tabs to the straps to help get them on and off, but we'd still like more overlap on both ends of the strap (where they go through the brace's loops).
(4) Hinge stops. Fifteen-degree stops come standard. We recommend the 12.5-degree stops for first-time knee brace wearers (otherwise the knee brace will feel too restrictive). Riders with severe knee problems can go as far as 20-degree stops. On the new K700, Pod downsized the circular hinge stop mechanism and, to our sensitive knees, lessened the tension of the synthetic ligament. The smaller hinge stop fits better in pants, but virtually every test rider preferred last year's feel.
(5) Sizing. The first thing you will notice is that you can hardly tell that you have the PodMX K700 on. It is extremely light, very sleek and less obtrusive than most other braces. We had issues with last year's small, medium and large sizing (large-legged riders could wear the medium size in the original PodMX knee brace). This year, the sizing does make sense, and if you have tree trunk legs, you will wear an extra-large, while riders with bird legs will wear the small. No guessing, because there are five different sizes.
(6) Knee cups. PodMX redesigned their knee cup, which on last year's brace was minimalist and often popped off in a crash. The new knee cup floats. Pod calls it "self-tracking." It is raised up away from the knee brace and tries to stay positioned in front of your knee cap at all times. It is an improvement, but it looks strange as it floats one inch above your knee. We've still managed to pop them off in minor crashes and, as with virtually ever high-end knee brace we want more knee cap protection. Every motocross racer wants the gap above the knee cup to be covered with some type of protection.
(7) Adjustment. There is a wide selection of different thickness hinge pads to fine tune the fit on each side of the knee.
WHAT'S THE SQUAWK? We had a few gripes: (1) The Velcro that held the pads was weak. (2) We would like more padding on the shin portion of the brace. (3) Most test riders wanted a stronger synthetic tendon. (4) The cost has risen considerably since the original PodMX. (5) We would like bigger knee cups, that cover more area and stay in place.
Head-to-head against the most popular high-end knee braces, the PodMX K700 is a clear winner. It offers high-tech design, innovation and, best of all, it doesn't even feel like you are wearing a knee brace. Oddly enough, head-to-head against the original PodMX brace, it isn't such a clear-cut winner because Pod had it right from the beginning.

There is an amazing wreath made of vintage thread spools I saw on this blog. I tried to cut and paste the photo but couldn't. You will just have to scroll down to the photo. It is by Jilly Bean Soup. http://littlebirdiesecrets.blogspot.com/2011/02/cha-winter-2011-review-and-pictures-my.html

I have some vintage spools in one of those old blue canning jars with the tin lid. Know what I'm talking about? I think they look pretty in there. My head will not explode if you say "vintage" again.LOL! I LOVE anything vintage. Speaking of "vintage"(there's that word again), I am really wanting to get my hands on a copy of that "Vintage Notions" book.:-)

So nice to have things like this!

The pattern picture brought back such great memories for me. My daughters had those dolls and I had that pattern and remember making all those darling clothes. They still have their dolls and the clothes all these years later. I wonder if I still have the pattern.

What beautiful treasures!!! Have you thought of a shadow box . . . a divided box covered with glass and then hung on the wall like a picture frame. I still have my Mandy doll . . . should pull it out for my girls.
- February 23, 2011 at 2:48 PM
- Amanda B. said...
You have no idea how excited I was to see the pattern for the Becky and Mandy doll clothes! My mom had this pattern and made all of the clothes from it for our dolls. My sister and I still have them tucked away at my parents home. We loved the little pioneer girl clothes (our favorite thing to play dress up was pioneer girls and of course we had matching pioneer outfits too.)
Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Oh my goodness! What an amazing little collection. My mom has her mothers sewing collection. And since I'm the only one of her children who sews I hope it comes to me one day. All her patterns unfortunatley got trashed. A non-sewing sister thought "no one would want these old clothes" and send them to the dump. My grandma made a dress every single week for more than 20 years. She had 7 girls (plus three boys) and sewed everything they wore. Sigh, such treasure!

What awesome treasures. And because I bought a new camera because my fairly pricy Canon G9would NOT blur pictures even on macro setting(long explanation....which I don't even understand), let me just give you a shout-out for the third picture from the bottom, the one of the spools of thread, some in focus, some nicely blurred. *sigh* Perfect picture...

Such special gifts. My Grandmother gave me a little bag full of about 20 vintage hankies that belonged to her Mother...I don't know what to do with them quite yet. I am a afraid to sew them together but really don't want them just stuffed in a bag. Can't wait to see what you do with your special hanky.

I loved looking at your blog. Sew many memories. Sewing really was a huge part of my growing up years. My mother made,then I made, most of my school dresses. They were cute plaids or small prints with coordinating piping around the peter pan collars. The sewing machine was nearly always set up on the kitchen table. The patterns and fabric were cut on the diningroom table. The ironingboard was also set up in the diningroom. Sewing for three daughters and herself took alot of time.Iam grateful for that bonding time and that you are carrying on those traditions. Love, Mom

I still have the pattern too!
Thank you for sharing Amy!

Just looking at all those old wooden spools,the hankie , the sewing bits gives me goose bumps. Sounds silly I know,BUT.That is part of my past just seeing them. I guess a person who does not sew would think me crazy eh? Thanks soo much for that (good feeling) look into the past. Blessings: Dianne.

Ahhh...My Friend dolls. My mom spruced up my old My Friend Becky doll, sewed new clothes and gave it to my girls for Christmas. Then after they loved it so much she got them My Friend Mandy and Jenni. I love them. I need to find a pattern so I can make them some clothes too.

I inherited my Nana's old sewing notions. It was such a wonderful trip down memory lane. I still remember her teaching me to sew my very first nightgown. Now I have her old jar of buttons on the table behind my sewing machine. Every once in a while I take off the lid and take a deep breath--so many memories come flooding back.
A question about the thread though. The owner of my LQS said not to use the vintage thread (it's 15-20 years old and older.) She said to always use new thread as the thread breaks down with age. What's your take on that? Thanks!

I have many of my Grandmother's sewing notions. I made a square grapvine wreath and attached many of her spools, quilt pieces, buttons, needle books and such. It hangs on a wall in my sewing room with a sewing machine drawer that I mounted on it's side and added more items. I LOVE ANYTHING VINTAGE!!

I really love all your vintage notions. I have collected vintage notions from various greats, grandmas and aunts, as well as grandmas. I have tobacco boxes filled with tatting thread, a wooden sewing box with a little of everything, a vintage round Christmas tin with the only quilt blocks my grandmother ever made-feedsack hexies. I too have lots of spools of thread. Im thinking of asking my dad to make a case with a glass front to stack so you can have rows from the side and rows from the top. Thanks for the wonderful trip down memeory lane.

I use my Grandmother's Singer 301 sewing machine, it is in my mother-in-law's sewing machine cabinet and I use my Mom's sewing box all the time! I love my vintage notions and I wouldn't dream of parting with them and I am always on the lookout for old sewing notions when my husband and I go to flea markets during the summer. Thank you for sharing your family's notions with us!!

When my mother passed away I was just 22. I inherited basically everything she owned, including a lifetimes worth of sewing supplies. My mother sewed all my clothes when I was small, and made stuffed animals, too. And what did I do with all this wonderful stuff? I was so upset and so raw with grief, every time I looked at any of it, that I threw it all away! Now, MANY years later, I could just kick myself! The only thing I still have is her button collection.

Ok, here's a crazy idea as to what to do with the spools of thread. I really just like looking at them from an "aerial" view like in your last picture. If you could find some sort of clear acrylic box, you could just arrange them how you want them & hang the box on the wall in your sewing room. I think I'd love looking at it...a little piece of graphic sewing art.

Roma! I did a double-take because that is my daughter's name. She is named after my maternal grandmother. We love meeting people who are, or knew someone named, Roma. I sort of "collect" them for my daughter. I have really been enjoying your beautiful work for a while now. Thanks so much!

this post feels like it was written for me:) My grandmothers notions look exactly like yours and i love them very much. Much of my sewing comes from my grandmother, whose name also starts with 'R'. I started when i was 8 and would often sew on her machine when we visited in the summer. I have fond memories of all the trips we'd take to the fabric store. She, too, made clothes for my own My Friend Mandy. Grandma died 2 years ago and would have been 100 this april and embroidered until the very end. When she passed i received her sewing machine. I know many other things were thrown out, but i would have taken it all- every last bit of string, fabric, elastic.... I cant think of my grandma without thinking about sewing.

I made a lamp to display my vintage sewing items. Took a large mason jar put the items in nicely and got a light kit and shade. I made 3 in all one for me and one each for my sewing buddies. They were very happy with them.

I would definetly make a shadow box for your sewing room to display those vintage items. Use some coordinating fabric for the background of the shadowbox to match your rooms color scheme in maybe a retro pattern for the time.

Great collection of vintage sewing notions! I use old print drawers found at antique shops to display my vintage thread and thimbles. I just hang them on the wall and fill them up.

Roma is My older sister's name and also my SIL Mother's name. I haven't heard it that often. Love the Treasures your Grandma shared with you. I used the old wooden spools I had to make a spool toy for my children when they were little. They have got some 3rd generation drool on them now.

That little needlebook is so sweet. Whatever you do with your vintage collection of spools, don't sew with them! My grandmother was a horder of the first degree and I inherited garbage bags full of sewing notions, yarn and thread. Everything I tried sewing with these threads has come apart, the vintage cottons and rayons just disintegrate.

LOVE the vintage supplies. I have lots of them, too -- from MY grandmother. I display them in an old wicker basket. I like that some of them still have the original price tag.
My grandmother did a lot of tatting in her time, and I have a whole collection of hankies on which she tatted around the edges.

So this morning, I'm unzipping lots of goodies and this alarm goes off! It sounded a lot like a fire alarm from a school or something. I had no clue what happened, but it made me jump. (It was a little after 6am, mind you!) My kids thought my laptop was about to explode. It was kinda funny!
Know what it was? LOL... apparently when ExtractNow runs into a file it has a problem with it sets off this alarm.
So just in case you're a ExtractNow user and you've never come across this nifty little feature (in over a year, it's never happened to me), you've been warned.

LOL! I've had the alarm go off when opening files and it made me jump because I wasn't sure what it was.

the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference. reinhold niebuhr
