The Packer-Scott building was originally built in 1892, and has long been a landmark in Portland. In order to reflect the mission of Mercy Corps, THA restored and reused 75% the original structure. A new building was also erected to supplement the reclaimed space and its tiled, red exterior mimics the brick of the older portion.
In addition to the reuse of existing building, the new headquarters has many sustainable features that have scored it a LEED Platinum rating. 95% of the construction waste was also recycled and 35% of the space's energy supply comes from green power. Potable water used for irrigation was reduced by 50% and potable water used for flush and flow fixtures was reduced by 75%. There are also PV integrated glass sunscreens that shade the southern-exposed glass and 30% of energy usage was reduced through efficiency.

A couple of general questions about CM
Just a few questions I guess. For one I find it very odd that I keep getting sent matches that live out of state. I said in my profile that I am staying here in St. Louis. Also, a lot of out of state people or even out of the country people are looking at my profile-I guess I just find it odd because I am only searching within a driving distance.
The other thing I am kind of wondering is why are non widows/widowers posting on this forum? I feel like there are very specific issues that we face. I was really looking forward to being honest about how I feel but I really do not need someone divorced coming in here and high jacking my posts saying that their loss is just as hard. It is not an issue of who has it harder-it is an issue of looking for some support from those that have walked this path after losing a spouse. I really look to the support of other widows/widowers because most of the grief support groups are for much older people and not necessarily just for the loss of a spouse.
Just some random thoughts thats all.

Depression may be described as feeling sad, blue, unhappy, miserable, or down in the dumps. Most of us feel this way at one time or another for short periods.
Clinical depression is a mood disorder in which feelings of sadness, loss, anger, or frustration interfere with everyday life for a longer period of time.
For more information on the symptoms and treatment of depression, see:
Blues; Gloom; Sadness; Melancholy
Symptoms of depression include:
Low self-esteem is common with depression. It is also common to have sudden bursts of anger and a lack of pleasure from activities that normally make you happy, including sex.
Depressed children may not have the same symptoms as depressed adults. Watch for changes in school work, sleep, and behavior. If you wonder whether your child might be depressed, it's worth talking to a health care provider.
The main types of depression include:
Other common forms of depression include:
Depression may also alternate with mania (known as manic depression or bipolar disorder).
Depression may be more common in women than men. This may be because women tend to seek help for it more. Depression is also more common during the teenage years.
Depression often runs in families. This may be due to your genes (inherited), behaviors you learn at home, or both. Even if your genes make you more likely to develop depression, a stressful or unhappy life event usually triggers the depression.
Many factors can cause depression, including:
If you are depressed for 2 weeks or longer, contact your doctor or other health professional before your symptoms get worse.
No matter what type of depression you have and how severe it is, the following self-care steps can help:
If your depression occurs in the fall or winter months, try light therapy using a special lamp that is like sunlight.
If you have moderate to severe depression, the most effective treatment plan will likely involve a combination of talk therapy, lifestyle changes, and medication.
Call 911, a suicide hotline, or go to a nearby emergency room if you have thoughts of harming yourself or others.
Call your doctor if:
Your health care provider will find out how severe your depression is (mild, moderate, or severe) and look for the cause by doing a:
If there is a risk of suicide, you may need to stay in the hospital for treatment.
You will talk with the health care provider about the issues and events that may be causing your depression. Your doctor will ask you about:
Treatment will depend on your symptoms. For mild depression, counseling and self-care may be enough. The most effective therapy for moderate or severe depression is a combination of antidepressant medication and talk therapy.
Your primary care doctor may refer you to a psychiatrist if your depression is moderate to severe, or if it does not improve with treatment.
For more treatment information, see: Major depression
Healthy lifestyle habits can help prevent depression, and reduce the chances of it coming back. Talk therapy and antidepressant medication can also make you less likely to become depressed again.
Talk therapy may help you through times of grief, stress, or low mood. Family therapy may help teens who feel sad.
Keeping close contact with other people is important for preventing depression.

There are no such weapon groups as archery or thrown. For archery, I assume you mean bows. But for "thrown" there is no specific weapon group that covers that. Thrown weapons exist across several weapon groups (light blades, axes, spears).
Teleportation is explicitly non-existent in the mythos of Dragon Age, so I think Shadow Step needs to be replaced or at least reworked in such a way as to not allow the mage to be disappearing and reappearing.
It is stated that Teleporting is not possible. However one can meld into the ground and travel this way. As seen by the Elf mentioned above, as well as rage demons. What has me thinking is what if Shadow Stepping is Fade Stepping. A Mage uses magically to temporarily slide into the Fade, and then reappear elsewhere. Sort of like Blinking through the shadows/folds of the Fades shadows.
Psychically transporting into the fade is also nearly impossible. It's only been done once by a huge number of Tevinter mages working together, and that destroyed the Golden City (turning it into the Black City).
The idea of an Assassin that specialises in killing Mages is a logical one, which I definitely think has a place within the Dragon Age Setting. The Tevinter Imperium, The Circle, The Chantry, The Mages Collective & the Antivan Crows would all have use for them (probably other organisations too).
To be honest, aside from the teleportation (which as has been mentioned doesn't fit with the setting) the Shadow Mage hasn't got any real advantage that will help them in assassinating a Mage.
The Mana costs in the Journeyman level are too low. Either increase them, or drop them completely. Keeping track of spending 1 point here and there when you have over 100 points of Mana is just going to be annoying, and only effect the character in the rare and extreme circumstance that they're running super low on Mana and don't have any potions.
If you keep Mana costs (and increase them), which I suggest you do, I'd also make them pay for the ammunition for bows as well as summoning additional thrown weapons.
I would likely avoid the shadow step for reasons others have mentioned and in that it makes the Shadow Blade better as a thief than an assassin, as an alternative I'd go something like
Shadow Strike
When attacking with a spectral weapon the Shadow Blade can perform a Backstab (as a rogue). If the hit is successful the damage done reduces the targets magic points by an equal number to the damage inflicted on the mage, in addition any armour given by magic (such as Rock Armour) is also ignored.
Shadow Cloak
As a minor action a Shadow Blade can spend 3 mana and draw in the shadows about themselves (for upto 1 round per magic point) making them difficuilt to see. The Shadow Blade can immediatly make a Dexterity (Stealth) test vs a perception (seeing), of any on-lookers, if successful the Shadow Blade appears to have vanished from view of those the test was successful against. To anyone else the Shadow Blade appears as a shadowy figure.
Shadow Cloak could give the impression of the Blade teleporting, as they would 'disapear' from one location and appear in another but still not actually be teleporting.]
Unless I missed it, there's no mention of what action/time is involved in summoning weapons. I don't know if that's intentional or not.
Shadow Dissolutions Mana cost is WAY too low. I'd be inclined to push it up to as high as 20.
Look at Shadow Dissolution as if it was a spell.
Spells have a casting time of AT LEAST a Major action.
All spells you have to roll against a TN just to see if it works at all. ie, they all have a chance of failure. And the ones with prerequisites can cause Magical Mishaps when you do fail.
Shadow Dissolution as it stands, has the fastest casting time of any spell. No TN, so it's 100% reliable and even though it's of a magnitude high enough that it would have prerequisites, it'll never risk a Magical Mishap. It also allows the character to move further than they could ever hope to move under their own steam in the same action as they otherwise would do so. I my opinion it's at least as powerful as a mid range spell, if not more so. Given the effect, and reliability, I don't think 20MP is too much.
Maybe so, but the Templar ability has severe drawbacks. The user suffers a -2 to defense until the beginning of his next turn and it cancels ALL spells, those of allies and those of foes alike.

Not anything like Sims at all, but I seriously love Gunbound (Google it). It's a free to download, MMO. ADDICTIVE. I started playing when I was 17 and I still play on occasion! It's shooting, but it's adorable.
Also, PORTAL. (I'm a computer gamer!) I love puzzle-type games and Portal is a serious "you've gotta be smart to get through this" kind of game. It's basically puzzle after puzzle, but in a supercool way. Portal 1 is pretty cheap since 2 came out a while back. OMG I LOVE PORTAL.
Have you looked at Steam yet? http://store.steampowered.com/ All kinds of computer games there, from girly to war games. Always good deals to be had.
Ladies--I am a geek. :3
I've played many, many (oh. so. very. many.) hours of Sims in my life. However, after my hard drive crashed earlier this year, I never quite managed to get Sims 3 (and all the yummy extras) added back to the laptop. Probably good, though, since I'd never get anything done, lol.
I've played many an hour of Portal, too (LOVE the GLaDOS voice, ).
Lately, though? I've gotten incredibly hooked on Minecraft. My hubby's played it on the PC for a few years, but we grabbed the XBox360 version shortly after it came out...and I like that he and I can play together. And we do...most times until the very wee hours of the morning.
I have to be honest, though...you ladies sure are making me miss my Sim! :/
Courtesy of this thread, I played Sims for 3 hours instead of writing, which I should have been doing.
Thanks ;)

(CNN) -- A cold snap in Ukraine has killed 83 people, while hundreds more have sought treatment for hypothermia and frostbite, according to state media reports.
Some 536 people have been hospitalized with hypothermia, an adviser to Health Minister Volodymyr Yurchenko is quoted as saying Friday by state news agency Ukrinform.
Of those 83 have died, he told a meeting of the Emergency Situations Ministry.
Authorities have set up nearly 2,800 "heating points" to help vulnerable people across the country, according to the Emergency Situations Ministry website.
Between December 15 and 21, these relief centers have helped more than 13,500 people, it said.
Cold arctic air has blasted Ukraine for more than a week, forcing temperatures in the capital, Kiev, below the December average high of 0 degrees and low of -5 degrees Celsius, CNN forecasters say.
The mercury in Kiev hasn't risen above -8 degrees Celsius (17.6 degrees Fahrenheit) since Monday. But the chilliest period came Tuesday, when it plummeted to -17 degrees Celsius (1.4 degree Fahrenheit.)
While the forecast doesn't look much better over the next couple of days, the capital may get back to near average temperatures on December 25 and 26.
Last winter, more than 110 people died in Ukraine as a result of a bitter cold spell that lasted around a month, from January into February.
The government said then that more 90% of the deaths were alcohol-related, with some victims drinking in the mistaken belief it would help keep them warm.
CNN's Laura Smith-Spark and Judson Jones contributed to this report.

Felipe Massa reckons he had the measure of Fernando Alonso in qualifying this past season even if he did lose out on grand prix Sundays.
Although Alonso trounced his team-mate in the Drivers' standings, 242 points to 112, the second half of the Champion at least saw Massa edge ahead in qualifying.
The Brazilian edged his team-mate in five of the nine qualifying sessions in the wake of the summer break.
His improved form, though, was not enough to secure his future with the 32-year-old parting ways with the team at the end of the season.
"Fernando is a very strong racing driver, especially in the first few rounds of the World Champion he was fantastic," he told Finland's Turun Sanomat newspaper.
"Qualifying is not as important to the World Championship as it has been and I was at least fast, if not faster, than Alonso.
"In the grands prix, considering other factors; the tactics, traffic, pit stops and all of that; I was not very lucky.
"When Alonso was driving for the Championship, and I was not, he had the advantage of strategy and that affects your ability to get the top positions."
Massa will now head to Williams where he believes he can play a role in the team's resurgence.
"I know Williams just been through a tough phase but I think the team has the potential to achieve much more than last season.
"They have what is required to reach the same level that Williams were a few years ago and I want to be a part of that process.
"The Mercedes engines should be very competitive so I am confident that, together with Valtteri Bottas, we will have a good package at our disposal and can fight for regular points in an effort to get steadily closer to the front."

Aaron Rodgers buys TVs for Packers teammates
Aaron Rodgers is a generous guy. The Green Bay Packers quarterback got into the holiday spirit Wednesday by presenting each of his offensive lineman with a brand-new, 55-inch television. Signal-callers doling out gifts to their O-line is a standard practice, but Rodgers didn't stop there. The NFL MVP candidate also bought TVs for the men backing him up, Scott Tolzien and Matt...

Embry-Riddle partners with some of the biggest companies in the world, including Boeing, NASA, and Diamond Aircraft.
Our corporate and government partnerships are established connections that help our students secure impressive internships and co-ops and assist in developing solutions to today's and tomorrow's aeronautical and aerospace problems.
Here at the world's largest aviation-oriented university, our focus on applied research is unique. We have the faculty, students, technological resources, and drive to make real things happen.

Currently, students are working with faculty and researchers with industry and government partners to develop new biofuels, green vehicles and aircraft, advanced propulsion systems, renewable energy sources and unmanned autonomous systems, just to name a few.
The hands-on opportunities, like the jet dragster project or the NASA Space Grant-funded, high-altitude balloon project, help to solidify skills learned in the classroom and gave me direction in my chosen engineering degree.
Our Career Services office works to place students in programs designed to help them make the absolute most of their education, setting them on a successful trajectory.
The Office of Corporate Relations, working with Embry-Riddle's professional education resources, will help you establish an ongoing education program intended to raise the knowledge level of your current staff and executives.
Embry-Riddle offers seminars, forums, and condensed courses online and through our network of campuses in engineering, human factors, business administration, and other areas. Or we can tailor a program specifically to meet the goals of your organization on our campus or in your offices.
The Government Relations' mission is to implement a comprehensive and proactive program of federal, state, and local government relations advocacy and action that supports the university's vision, mission, and strategic goals. This mission is intended to increase Embry-Riddle's preeminence in aviation and aerospace, a significant role of which is to influence the national agenda, and to increase the diversity and size of university revenues.
Contracted by the FAA, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University manages and collaborates with industry partners to advance NextGen concepts and procedures.

Michelle Basch,
WASHINGTON - A star-studded new political drama debuts Friday, but it won't be found on any TV channel.
"House of Cards" is the first original series ever on Netflix.
The series from director David Fincher and playwright and screenwriter Beau Willimon is based on a BBC miniseries and stars Kevin Spacey as a member of Congress, Robin Wright as his wife and other well-known stars, including Kata Mara and Constance Zimmer.
The series premiered in D.C. Tuesday night at the Newseum, and WTOP caught up with the actors and creators on the red carpet.
Spacey plays House Majority Whip Francis Underwood, and he researched his role in Washington with real-life Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy.
"He was incredibly generous; A.) with his time, B.) with helping me understand what it might be like to try to corral 218 individuals to vote in a particular way. Particularly because a lot of the freshmen congressmen that came in rode in on the notion that we're not Washington and we're going to fight the system," said Spacey.
Spacey also got help from Minority Whip Steny Hoyer.
"They answered all my questions, they were very forthright, and they let me sort of tag along and watch how it works," said Spacey.
Robin Wright plays the congressman's wife, Claire Underwood. She says she didn't spend time with any congressional spouses ahead of her role, but she did re-read some Shakespeare.
"She is...the Lady Macbeth to his Richard III," Wright said of her character.
"They're both leaders, and the ends justify the means. They will do whatever it takes to get ahead, and have each other's back, and they have a mutual respect for one another as husband and wife and man and woman. They're a team," says Wright.
Writer and Executive Producer Beau Willimon is highly involved in politics.
"My campaign experience goes back to 1998. I worked on Chuck Schumer's first Senate campaign, then I worked on Hillary's (Clinton) 2000 Senate campaign, Bill Bradley's 2000 presidential (campaign) and then eventually (Howard) Dean's '04 bid," said Willimon.
"I met a lot of great people, people who have gone on to do amazing things in politics. And I also saw the darker side. The land of governance is paved in streets of gray, not black and white and so we're trying to take that complex approach to it," Willimon says.
The entire 13-episode first season of "House of Cards" will be available to Netflix members Feb. 1.
Watch the trailer for "House of Cards":
"More and more people are watching entire seasons of shows over a weekend. That's the trend. This is being driven by what the audience wants, not by us necessarily being revolutionaries. We're responding to the market," said Willimon.
"We approached it very much ... this first season as a 13-hour movie that just had an expansive narrative to it. And we weren't concerned so much about cliffhangers and the next episode because as you know Netflix is releasing all 13 at one time," says James Foley, who directed three episodes.
"What's great is that I read a bunch of stuff in the trade papers in L.A. today that are waking up and saying, 'Whoa, what is this?' This could disrupt broadcast television if it can be an on-demand thing for all 13 episodes that's crazy and different," Foley says.
Wright says TV as people know it is changing.
"Everything's going to become live stream eventually. It's the new medium, and it's the trend. We're not going to be the last that does this format."
Spacey agrees.
"I don't know how many people you talk to and say 'What did you do over the weekend?' and it's like 'Oh, I stayed home and watched three seasons of Breaking Bad.' So what that tells us is two things.
"A.) the notion that the American viewing public has no attention span is completely wrong because people are gobbling up these long, complicated plot stories ... and secondly it seems that this is an opportunity, the way in which this is being released, for the film and television industry to learn the lesson that the music industry didn't learn. Which is: give the audience what they want, when they want it at a reasonable price, in the form they want it in, and they'll buy it, they won't steal it," Spacey says.
Still, Spacey admits the project is a gamble.
"We don't know yet whether we're going to be the big thud heard around the world, or whether we're actually going to have some sort of impact on how this kind of viewership happens, but it does seem it's the direction it's heading in. So, I'm always happy to be involved in something early on. It's pretty cool."

(new website under construction)
(PDF format)
The arrestingly chic design of 300-seat beyond is a marriage of the imagination of the Lorrie Lisogar, Owner, Sergio Cocchia, Executive Manager and the inspired "au courant" magic of Doris Hager of Hager Design & Associates.
beyond is tactile; it is textures, moods and tones grouped as intimate gathering places. It is layers of colour and contrast. It is multi-leveled, with each area and tier having its own distinct persona. beyond is not so much one room as it is a design ecosystem with each area in the restaurant and lounge having a unique ambience, yet each in cohesive harmony with the whole. It is the perfect balance of masculine and feminine, yin and yang.
Commanding center stage in one of the lower dining areas is a circular wall of delicately laced minute red glass beads that creates a wall that shimmers and refracts light. Here, one could hold court in the long gently curving banquette. Overhead, a raw silk Aquos creation from New York casts pools of light over the sumptuous setting, while flooring of linear strips of American walnut parquet add depth and dimension.
Throughout, illuminated textured glass panels innovatively add sparkle and act as intimate partitions. On the upper level of the restaurant, two separate dining areas create two distinct feels. In one area, guests are cupped in confidential tete-a-tetes in sleek horseshoe or straight back banquettes, with additional seating provided in soft cream leather arms chairs. Mood lightening is cast throughout by patterned cloth lamps reflecting warm light off walls of regional slate.
The kitchen hides nothing from its guests with only a wall of see-through glass keeping patrons from chef and his team. The open-viewing concept allows diners to follow the drama of a busy kitchen in high gear. A chef's table is tucked into a wing of the dining room allowing guests the experience of "front and center" interactive dining.
Lighting consultant, Ms. Galina Zbrizher of Total Lighting Solutions, is an atmospheric strategist. Her choice of lightening has woven a world of light and dark, drama and intrigue throughout the restaurant and lounge. Custom made lamps by local designer Ian Marsh hang throughout the room showcasing art from Vancouverites Carmelo Sortino and Julie Ferguson.
The audio visual system throughout is state-of-the-art. No expense has been spared in creating an environment of sight and sound that matches mood or event.
beyond is new for Vancouver. It invites discussion. It transcends before. It goes beyond. It is the next stage in Vancouver's evolution as a dining and entertainment Mecca on the West Coast. It is beyond expectation. It is the great beyond.
This design approach drove the sourcing of many of the distinctive elements in beyond which contribute to its overall character. Deep chocolate American walnut has been used to frame the elegant center bar area giving it the feel of an exclusive club. Fine details include polished stainless steel cobra head taps, smooth cool black granite counter tops and back-lit art niches.
The seating in the lounge is flexible, allowing for the conviviality of pulling together a constellation of chairs and tables when more friends join the group. Plasma televisions hang on walls of rare Zebra wood, or gunmetal grey woven wall coverings that have the look of expensive artisan jewelry.
Seating throughout beyond has been ingeniously clustered to create intimate conversation and dining areas. In the lounge and bar, seductive red and coco leather chairs set an upscale yet casual feel, with faux-leather surfaced bar tables adding timeless style.

7 A.M Enfant.
I was most impressed with the quality of the product, how cleverly it is made to fit from infancy all the way up to Preschool! It grows with you and it will last you along the years. If you are creating a Baby Shower Registry it retails for $199, find a store near you and order. Trust me, you will love it as much as I do and I wish I had known of this efficient stroller cover sooner.
I have never gotten so much attention walking down the street these days. I thought okay, I got my sexy back, I am sure people were wondering "who is that hot mom?". Umm...No. LOL!
Everyone is checking out how cute, warm and cozy my son is in his 7 A.M Enfant.
I swear 90% of the time people stop me and ask:
|Here's how we roll!
- It is especially designed to offer protection in extreme weather conditions
- With it's heat retention insulation, fleece lining and ergonomic hood it can replace having suit up baby, toddler or preschooler in a snow suit.
- This can be used from car to stroller
- The cover itself has length and width extensions and a convertible hood!
- Fits with most strollers and car seats
- Quality, function, material and feeling good knowing my son was warm in the cold brisk air
- We also loved that the slits were long so the strollers straps go in nice and easy. You don't have to remove the shoulder straps from the waist belt and then put it back on. I have struggled with this in the past but not with 7 A.M. Enfant. The slits are big enough for the shoulder straps and waist straps to fit together (5 point harness)
- Around the hood (interior between the lining) there is an elastic and button so you can cinch up and make the hood fit a bit snuggier and the same goes for the shoulders!
- Fleece lined, large pocket in the front
- Double zippers and the snaps and velcro closures.
- Anti slip back panel! Absolutely brilliant.
- There are NO CONS! I could not find anything wrong with this product :)
And what would a review be with out a giveaway to kick in the New Year? Thank you 7 A.M. Enfant for providing me with a sample and for sponsoring this fabulous giveaway!

Taste Test: The Best Pancake and Waffle Mixes
Our volunteers tested 14 different mixes — both buttermilk and whole grain — to find the best box for your weekend breakfast.
Runner-Up Pick: Pioneer Original Buttermilk Mix
While not the winner of our buttermilk category, tasters were struck by this mix's "extra crispy exterior." Tasters were not as impressed by the center of the pancake, which they found "floury," "slightly soggy," and "pita bread-like." If you're more interested in waffles, however, the thinner consistency of this batter made for picture-perfect waffles. ($3 for 40 oz.)

Reev what you're doing doesn't make complete sense to me, its more valuable to compare the effect of x amount of ratings have assuming a certain base of stats, since you always will have a certain amount of stats anyway. I agree with you that the value of block doesn't look great specially if they would implement DR on it.
The value of avoidance and block is the amount of damage they reduce multiplied by the percentages of attacks they effect.
For avoidance this would be 100%*percentage of attacks effected
For block this would be 30%(or more)*percentage block*(100%-avoidance)
Depending on the average blockvalue block already reduces 3,3 times less damage and depending on avoidance it will effect 1,4 (1/0,7) times less attacks.
It's also slightly more complicated since an avoided attack can replace a block instead of a normal hit in the 2 roll system.
edit: avoidance would be (100%-(blockvalue*blockchance))*percentage of attacks effected
Last edited by Bigbad; 03-02-2012 at 01:31 PM.
With my current gear I have like ~38% avoidance and ~64% block even disregarding potential DRs on block and having 100% uptime on SB the boss will still be hitting me in the face ~11% of the time. Hope shield tanks get an armour/HP buff to bring them level of DKs and Druids
The only way to buff shield tanks for their gimpy Mastery is either flat damage reduction (which would then also work on magic damage, making them better dragon breath tanks) or ... shield armor (all plate tanking stuff can be used by DKs). So you'ld be a shitty tank until that tanking shield of that tier drops (because let's face it, we'll only ever see a single shield per tier)
Time to hit the math and see how mastery competes against avoidance this weekend
Mists of Pandaria Protection Warrior SpreadsheetOriginally Posted by Ion
Warlords of Draenor One Minute Field Guides
What really, really bothers me about the new block system is SHoR and Shield Slam only block the "next" attack. This means that if you're tanking one mob, Mastery is the worst stat, (because it can't apply to your guaranteed block) but if you're tanking more than one mob, Mastery is the best stat. Are you going to have two sets of gear that you have to switch between for one mob/multiple mob fights? Are you going to go reforge everything between bosses? It's ridiculous. Paladins are already going to have to respec their 45 and 90 talents from boss to boss for max effectiveness, now they're adding this?
When you're tanking one mob only, this makes mastery really really bad, as you get a free block every 6 seconds so your mastery doesn't have any effect at all except for when the mob bypasses your avoidance twice in six seconds. However when you're tanking more than one mob mastery suddenly becomes the best stat since you're taking more attacks and the SS/SHoR effect still only blocks one hit every 6 sec.
AFAIK That functionality was changed. Six seconds of +25% block chance is what you get now. I still don't get the whole i take more hits so block more hits. but statistically you're still going to be blocking the same proportion of hits, it's just the amount of incoming attacks that changes.
Warriors: (100 - 20) / 1.5 - 8 = 45.33~
Paladins: (100 - 5) / 2.25 - 8 = 34.22~
That's a lot of mastery, gentlemen.
Using the level 85 values, we are talking about 8100 mastery rating for a warrior, and 6100 rating for a paladin. And that is ignoring any DR.
The problem is that mastery gets much much better in terms of overall damage reduction the more of it you have. So for the same reason they put DR on armor and avoidance I'm sure they will likely go through with this change.
On the other hand this new system they are proposing, mastery gets much much worse the more avoidance you have, so if they DO put in DR then all mastery will do is get worse with gear.
Shieldblock from warriors is 25% blockchance, I've not kept up with the pally changes but what you quoted seems overpowered compared to shieldblock, would be more logical if it was just 25% increased blockvalue but who knows what blizzard is doing.
Perhaps the changes can be seen in the light of striving towards the "active mitigation"-model that was spoken about as compensation for threat made obsolete?
Blizzard doesn't want any capping by gearing. But gearing along with skillfully deflecting damange thru a rotation could give a simila result as just gearcapping nowadays? To me that sounds like a fun way to really be a good tank.
What makes me think that this might not work out is that bad tanks gets punished a lot. Either content must be easy or being a good enough tank must be easy.
However, if it is really just needed for heroic raids and challenge modes. Well it could be win win for everyone type of player!

WHAT IS IT? The Psycho Cycle is a remote-control, full-suspension, radio-controlled motocross bike that comes with its own backflip ramp.
CONTACT? www.maxtechtoys.com or (800) 843-6292.
WHAT STANDS OUT? Here's a list of things that stand out with the Max Tech Toys Psycho Cycle.
(1) Setup. The Psycho Cycle kit includes the Psycho Cycle bike, two-channel remote control, Mega Stunt ramp, 9-volt controller battery and 9.6-volt rechargeable bike battery (with charger). All you have to do is open the box, charge the batteries, and go out and wreak havoc on your local parking lot. Although the bike does not require assembly, the backflip ramp takes about five minutes to set up.
(2) Handling. The MXA wrecking crew loves to play with RC motorcycle toys?for as long as they last. During MXA's Psycho Cycle test, we found that the bike was easy to keep upright on hard, flat ground (thanks to a gyro system and outrigger wheels under the footpegs). The Psycho Cycle worked best on hard, smooth ground like concrete, since dirt or asphalt would catch on the tiny outrigger wheels and cause high-sides. The Psycho Cycle didn't have enough power to get through any real dirt, as the turbo boost didn't make a huge difference in speed. On jumps, we had to assign someone to pick it up whenever we wrecked?and we wrecked a lot. Overall handling of the bike was sluggish compared to most R/C cars.
(3) Mega Stunt ramp. The included ramp can be set up in two configurations: backflip and long jump. Although we could seldom land backflips (just hitting the jump at all was a challenge), the included ramp added tons of value to the Psycho Cycle. Driving around on flat ground got boring after a few minutes, but jumping the ramp was challenging and fun. Passing the remote control around, missing the ramp and crashing was good for a lot of laughs. Our jump and backflip success rate increased when we placed the ramp on a slight decline and used the turbo boost judiciously.
(4) Endurance. With moderate use of the turbo button, we averaged 25 to 30 minutes of run-time with the Psycho Cycle. The battery takes four hours to charge before each run. We logged hundreds of unsuccessful jumps, yet the Psycho Cycle was undamaged.
WHAT'S THE SQUAWK? We had three quibbles. (1) The box said it could do backflips, but only we could only do it occasionally and mostly by accident. (2) The Psycho Cycle is an awesome toy for younger kids, but it doesn't have the performance to keep an R/C enthusiast or an adult entertained for very long. (3) You charge it more than you play wiyh it.o
We think that the Psycho Cycle and Mega Stunt ramp kit is a five-star product for a young kid and a three-star product for an experienced R/C aficionado. Thus, we gave it four stars, but it's really a three-star product for anyone over the age of 12.

Antique quilts
31 comments:
I love to see how antique quilts were actually quilted. Today, I see many machine quilted quilts that are so overly fancy; the intricate piece work is ignored and the quilting is all you see. I am happy to see simple quilting on these. It is how I hope to quilt all my quilts.ReplyDelete
Wow! I'll second that first comment - and how soft they both look. Wonderful! Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Both are beautiful! Thank you for sharing these.ReplyDelete
Not only are they both beautiful quilts, they are real treasures!ReplyDelete
The quilts are simply scrumptios!!!ReplyDelete
Best wishes
Thanks for sharing! I love the red and white graphic.ReplyDelete
They're both amazing, but that first one looks incredibly modern, oh how fashions come around again lolReplyDelete
Both quilts are lovely, what a privilege to see them in real life. I can't see any binding on the first, does it have one?ReplyDelete
Old quilts, there's nothing quite as lovely, or as lovingly made. These quilters didn't have all the gadgets and gizmos we do, and yet there work is just as beautiful :)ReplyDelete
I have a very old red and white that I picked up at a consignment shop. The pattern is Burgoyne Surrounded, not 1 single machine stitch, and to me it's priceless.
I am currently making a yellow and white version of that top quilt. Saw one in a quilt museum a couple of years ago and have wanted to make one ever since.ReplyDelete
Beautiful quilts!ReplyDelete
Such beautiful quilts...thanks for sharing! I'm wondering if that graph quilt pattern is repeated again at the top of the circe/orange peel section in the red & white quilt. So unusual.ReplyDelete
I love the log cabin quilt, so much work put into it and the pattern is great. I love the colors and fabrics used to.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing! Love the red & white.ReplyDelete
Could the notches on the log cabin be for a 4 poster bed? I have seen some older quilts with the corners "missing" so they fit around the post at the foot of the bed.
Sandy A
These are beautiful quilts...I agree that they should be labeled...I have started to label mine by doing a message in the actual quilting stitches...I do free-motion quilting..It is quite easy to write to who the quilt is given as well as from whom its made ...I also include the name of the design of the quilt...ReplyDelete
Thanks for the pictures...Diane from Louisiana
The red and white one is so simple,and yet striking! I would make both of those quilts. I've had a log cabin on my to list for years.ReplyDelete
Wow - I love them both. That red and white one takes my breath away - simple blocks, but used so well!ReplyDelete
Wow. They're both just stunning Amy! (Thanks for the link to the antique quilt info site.) And I see someone already told you about the notches -- I'm thinking they're meant for the foot of the bed too.ReplyDelete
That log cabin one is amazing! I thought it was printed fabric at first glance. wow.ReplyDelete
I love the quilting in the red & white quilt. And the log cabin is just incredible. What a fabulous thing to have in the family still.ReplyDelete
You have two priceless treasures there! Do you get to keep them? I agree that there were TWO quilters on the red & white one! The Log Canin is stunning and the color palette is very unique.ReplyDelete
BTW, was this taken by a lake cuz I see what looks like a "dock" or something in the background!! I'm so nosey!!
Gmama Jane
These are terrific quilts to see. I love red and white quilts and log cabins. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Wow, such beautiful quilts. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
S x
That log cabon quilt just mesmorized me. I love it. The details in the fabrics is fabulous. That is a great quilt to have cherished for so long in your family.ReplyDelete
Both quilts are fabulous but I especially love the log cabin. The fabrics are beautiful.ReplyDelete
I keep coming back to look at the red and white quilt. It is liberating to me to see the love and longevity this quilt has offered. Without typical modern day quilter obsessiveness: the edges are not symmetrical, the hand quilting is varied throughout, etc.ReplyDelete
And yet, this quilt speaks to me.
I am liberated to just create beauty.
They are both gorgeous quilts, I like the 2 color quilts so much ..Im always trying so hard to make my quilt matchy etc and the simple joy of 2 colors is what makes it so pretty..ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 21, 2011 at 3:29 PM
Both Quilts are so beautiful. To me it looks like the orange peel quilting on the red and white quilt is in the center and the crosshatching is in the outer parts of the quilt. So maybe it was only one quilter who wanted to make the quilting a little more special. Some of the fabrics in the Log cabin Quilt look very modern.ReplyDelete
Greetings from Germany, Inka
Beautiful!!! I am going to replicate that brown/shirtings log cabin! It's GORGEOUS!! Thanks so much for sharing!ReplyDelete
Beautiful quilts and very well preserved brown or madder quilt usually are very fragile and disintegrate over time. I believe the notched corners on the quilt are for a four post bed. thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
I love the log cabin quilt! Who would think to put mint green in there, but it looks so great with it! What a nice surprise instead of plain old whites and off whites!ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing!
