Editor's note: Howard Kurtz is the host of CNN's "Reliable Sources" and is Newsweek's Washington bureau chief. He is also a contributor to the website Daily Download.
(CNN) -- The advance buildup has all been about Lance Armstrong as he prepares to enter the church of Oprah and seek absolution for his sins. But this much-anticipated television moment is as much a test for Oprah Winfrey as for the disgraced former cycling champion.
For while Armstrong is no longer the hero of old, Oprah isn't the same old Oprah, either.
The interview, to be conducted Monday, won't take place on Oprah's old blockbuster show, but on her little-watched cable channel. It's part of a 90-minute special airing Thursday that could help Winfrey reclaim a bit of the limelight that faded when she gave up her throne as America's talk show queen to build her cable brand.
It's hardly surprising that Armstrong would choose the Oprah route for dropping his decade of denials about doping. (I instantly knew that what was he would do. You don't go on Oprah after being stripped of your championships and repeat the same old excuses. USA Today reports that Armstrong will admit to using banned substances after his camp had floated the idea in a leak to The New York Times.)
Watch: Does Oprah have the cultural clout to revive Lance Armstrong's career?
After all, she has been the go-to gal for famous folks in trouble. Whitney Houston talked about drug use with Oprah. Track star Marion Jones talked with Oprah about going to prison for lying about using banned substances. Even author James Frey, who touted on Oprah an addiction memoir that turned out to have significant fabrications, went back on the show to submit to her castigation.
When Oprah was syndicated on ABC stations, her program was appointment viewing. How many people even know where the Oprah Winfrey Network is on their cable system? Winfrey has acknowledged that she's had a rough go in the cable world, which has included management turmoil, layoffs and the canceling of Rosie O'Donnell's show.
"I certainly did not expect the velocity of schadenfreude -- meaning people sort of lying in wait for you to fail, or make a mistake," she has said.
Watch: Was Joe and Mika's fight on MSNBC riveting or revolting?
What made Oprah a powerful cultural force, beyond her ratings and big-name interviews and ability to sell books, was her prowess at image rehab. If Oprah forgave you, could America be far behind? So the stakes in the Armstrong encounter are considerable for her as well.
But Armstrong is no ordinary celebrity who did something naughty that can be erased with a few well-timed tears. The man became an icon after battling back from cancer to reclaim his place as the world's best bike racer. But then came the allegations from former teammates and others that Armstrong cheated, that he used performance-enhancing substances banned by racing authorities.
Watch: Was New York Times right in depicting Obama White House as a boys' club?
Armstrong denied these charges again and again. He lied to my colleague Buzz Bissinger, who produced a Newsweek cover story titled "I Still Believe in Lance Armstrong." And he lied to me in two interviews. He was fervent and passionate, not just in saying he had never used banned substances but in accusing U.S. anti-doping officials of conducting a "personal vendetta" against him.
That was then; this week is Oprah.
Armstrong's motivation is obvious. His career is in ruins. The Livestrong cancer charity he founded is struggling. He faces possible litigation. He wants to compete again and needs somehow to put this phase of his career behind him.
But that is not so easy for athletes who cheat, as we were reminded by last week's vote to exclude Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa and Roger Clemens from baseball's Hall of Fame, based almost exclusively on alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs.
Watch: Why are media swooning over Time cover star Chris Christie?
They never apologized; perhaps Armstrong intends to do so. But if millions of people aren't watching him on Oprah -- if most of the country just sees a 20-second clip later -- does it have the same effect?
Oprah might forgive Armstrong, clearing the way for others to do the same. Or she might scold him, fostering a sense that he was publicly shamed for his conduct.
Either way, Oprah Winfrey will, for the first time in a long while, occupy center stage once again. For Lance Armstrong, though, the spotlight might prove less flattering.

It's a tough job market out there in California, with the average search taking nine months — and up to a year if you were unemployed seeking work, according to a new survey by Accenture, the global management consulting firm.
In October, one out of eight Californians (12.4%) was unemployed.
"We find that many companies prefer to hire from the pool of employed persons, which can further contribute to the slow decline in unemployment," said Chris DiGiorgio, Accenture's California managing director. "We encourage our clients to think about the 12.4% of unemployed Californians as a valuable source of talent and consider opportunities to re-train some of these workers to fill the skills gap many face."
Among the survey's other California findings:
The results were based on interviews with 306 Californians 18-55 years old during the month of October. The respondents included unemployed job seekers who previously held a full-time position and are actively looking; first-time job seekers 18-30 years old who never had a job before and are looking, and employed workers who started a new job in the last 24 months after being unemployed four months or longer.
So tell us ...

Friday Discussion: Using The Rules As Written
How Closely Do You Follow The Rules As Written? In general, do you find yourself houseruling heavily? Do you tend to let such houserules be emergent from play, or clearly codified at the start? As a player, how important are playing the with Rules As Written to you?
Have a great weekend, and I look forward to reading your opinions on this one!

I use the rules as a guide, but pretty much have a tell me what you're doing and roll approach. I can't think of any rules that I haven't tweaked. But if I do tweak the rules I try to stay consistant to be fair to the players and my own sanity.
- April 30, 2010 at 7:11 AM
- Gleichman said...
I think the question is poorly phrased (as it often is), and thus leaves out what I consider the best way of approaching an RPG.
I house rule to correct design errors in the original, and THEN run the rules a written.
For you see, I have no interest in being stuck with the mistakes of the original designer, and I have no interest in playing with people who can't follow a simple ruleset and live with what it hands them.

As a player I hate DM's who are rules lawyers/slavishly follow the rules.
I'm always wanting to do "cool" stuff. Not "uber, look at me, I'm a male juvenile and need to prove I;m cool" stuff or steal all the attention / spotlight time. Just occasional neat rp/story/action stuff that fits into campaign/scene/character concept. It sucks when DM isn't supporting you on that. [Gliechman sounds like the archetypal example of that kind of DM.]
As a DM I can't help myself, I over house rule. To the extent that I try to throw out more than 1/2 my house rules before actually playing. And I try to remove or at least simplify rather than add when I house rule.

During my lengthy Ashes of Middenheim WFRP2 campaign one of the bigger mistakes I made was in my attitude to the rules. I wasted a lot of time checking rules at the table instead of just going with the flow and checking things out later.
Afterwards- long afterwards, I realised that this was because I'd been taking a boardgamer/wargamer's attitude to the rules, in which strict attention to detail is an asset, not a liability.
- April 30, 2010 at 7:26 AM
- Gleichman said...
Norman Harman< is a male juvenile, for an adult one would find cool stuff to do based upon the rules and his own skills- and wouldn't beg for exceptions from the DM like a child asking for ice cream.
He is however the model of the common modern gamer.

- Gleichman said...
JMcL63: Learn your rules before you DM (not play) them and that wouldn't happen to you.
In my case, I've never had that problem.
Well, not completely true I suppose but true in any practical sense.
A new player will for a short period attempt to debate me over something- and I tell them their wrong and continue to run the game as they look it up. By the fourth or fifth time they realize that they are wasting their own time and that's the end of that. Meanwhile the game continues.
Don't mistake your lack of knowledge as problem with running the rules as written. Instead find a ruleset you or your DM can master.
- April 30, 2010 at 7:40 AM
- adeptgamer said...
I follow the rules as they are written and house rules emerge during play as the situation arises but aren't necessarily codified in any way.
I really feel the reason for rules is to give a structure of flow that can be referenced to keep things as balanced as possible with the house rules only needed when either balance is clearly blown (which is rarely) OR when the rules don't address the situation (which is the most common application of house rules).
I don't see the rules as a set of sacred texts through and have no issue with others who chop them up as they need, just if I'm running its easier for me to run if I don't have to do a lot of work on the rules :)
Lazy GM? Mebbe.
- April 30, 2010 at 7:44 AM
I think the question is straightforward and simply phrased so that even a monkey could understand it.
For myself I do house-rule but it always leaves this little nagging, dirty feeling.
I'll tell you though, when a player tells me they want to, "charge the orc," that is 50' away and they can only move 30', and the player is already shaking the dice and really into it, well, I'm letting them charge the orc.
Guess that's not really house-ruling as much as rule-breaking, hah!

- pseckler13 said...
I would stick to the rules as written to the point where they deliver the experience I want- obviously if something isn't understandable or isn't working as expected, or if the rule seems unnecessary in context your'e going to change it anyway, just to keep the game moving. But you also have to respect the group.
I don't really believe in changing the rules just to change them (like a DM who decides to replace the combat system with a card system or something..) or in changing an entire system out of just not bothering to learn it (for example I never understood DMs who would play D&D3.5 "but without all of the attacks of opportunity")..
I guess there's probably a time and place for that, but given that gaming itself is a group activity, it's important that everyone in the group have as close as possible to the same understanding of the game, preferably before they even arrive. (Plus they came to take part in a game, not be part of an experiment in game design).
Some house rules and changes are inevitable, but you should make an effort to understand them as a group. I think I mostly agree with Gleichman.

- DNAphil said...
I am very rules conservative. I have found that often that tinkering with rules without fully understanding the underlying mechanics, or reasons for why a rule was made, can lead to breaking the rules, or compromising the game.
That said, I am not so rigid that if a rule totally hampers play, that it cannot be changed. Though I would make least change necessary to fix the rule.
- April 30, 2010 at 8:03 AM
- Zzarchov said...
Woah, Gleichman..ease up on the petty juvenile name calling. Saying someone is a child because they play differently than you is pretty childish, especially when you then claim that your way of sitting around pretending to be an elf is more mature and adult than his way of sitting around pretending to be an elf.
- April 30, 2010 at 8:27 AM
- rologutwein said...
To me, rules are always just a starting point. You use what works for you and your group. You change what doesn't. As a GM, I follow my own likes and dislikes, but I do listen to player concerns as well (with a grain of salt, of course), and try to adjust to those, too.
This also applies to established settings. While I enjoy playing within the framework of things that other people have established (obviously, or I wouldn't be playing them), I am not a slave to canon. If there are details that don't mesh with my style or gaming group (or things I hate, like 'midichlorians'), I lose them.
As far as players doing cool things. I agree, it is better when something happens 'within' the rules, but if something is plausible or incredibly cool/clever—but not exactly covered in the rules—I am willing to make up something to at least give the player a chance at succeeding.
And I also think that wanting to do 'cool', 'dramatic', 'roleplay', and 'action' things are the reason people get into gaming anyway. Yeah, you may start out as a lowly pogue, but you dream of being a 'big damn hero' some day—and the rules either should accommodate this, or should be made to.
- April 30, 2010 at 9:16 AM
- Gleichman said...
Zzarchov: It's not name calling when it's a correct description of behavior.
And I will grant, RPGs are basically unproductive wish-fulfillment and thus childlike behavior. But there are degrees of childlike behavior. I would hope that adults would at least shade towards adult actions even when playing games.
However demanding cool stuff above and beyond the rules of the game just because you want cool stuff is as childlike as it gets.

- Nikolas said...
I'm pretty much like all the old time gamers, the rules are tools, and forgetting that can get me and others carried away.
I don't see any point in hostilely criticizing people one does not know well enough to make a concise judgement. The act by itself and the direction of inference it moves towards is interesting: Why would someone act douchey given this basic context?
I'm sure there is more to everyone's answers. I don't think a detailed and comprehensive essay is useful in this circumstance. Although a link to one's blog for a longer answer would be appropriate, I think.
- April 30, 2010 at 9:45 AM
- James V said...
I really don't like to fudge, so the rules are important to me. This does mean that in many games, I will make some adjustments. My usual method is to take games with a lot of rules, become familiar with them, usually by reading, sometimes by playing, and prune down the ones that I think would slow the game's pace down, even after the group becomes comfortable with them.
There is a line of intolerance for this process though. If I have to houserule more than 30% of the game for the sake of it meeting my tastes, I'd rather move on and find another ruleset more to my liking.
- April 30, 2010 at 9:51 AM
If you started with original D&D you played by house rules because the original rules were not models of clarity and often failed to allow a simulation of "reality" for what the characters and NPCs were doing in the campaign world. Which pretty much meant "to play rpg is to have house rules."
- April 30, 2010 at 9:52 AM
- James V said...
As an aside, it is rare that I build up on a rules set, but it did happen with the BFRPG game that I just completed running. The base of the rules are so simple, that it was pretty easy to add some rules here and there to emulate the kind of feeling I wanted from the game, without sacrificing its nice pace in execution.
In general however, and it maybe a simple quirk of my mindset, but it's easier for me to slim down than to bulk up a game.

This is why I like using entirely home-brewed rules sets; they are by definition always played "rules as written".
- April 30, 2010 at 10:19 AM
- Tim Brannan said...
I am going with the very helpful:
"It depends"
Typically I like to play a new game as written. Then once I have had sometime with it I tweak it a bit.
The only game I NEVER tweak or house-rule is C.J. Carella's WitchCraft RPG. Because I think it is perfect as it.
I will even houserule games I have written.
- April 30, 2010 at 10:57 AM
- clash bowley said...
Like Tim, I often houserule my own games - sometimes things happen in play that I never could forsee, and I deal with it. The only times I'm not houseruling is when I am alpha testing my own games, and then we play with the RAW until a problem comes up, whereupon we test a new rule. Hell, I was houseruling D&D before I ever played or ran any RPG.
- April 30, 2010 at 11:21 AM
- Patrick Tingler said...
I run games mostly as written, but in the spirit of the rules, not the letter of the rules. Poorly worded rules or unclear rules can be adjudicated by a knowledgeable GM. To me, anything more than this results in a game that isn't the game that you're supposedly playing. At this point in the hobby, there are thousands of games that are either in print, available second hand, or for free on the internet that you can pretty much find a rules set that doesn't need all sorts of house rules to match your play style. If in the off chance you're not satisfied with all the available options, you can easily take parts from multiple games and design your own house system. Just give it a name and you're good to go.
- April 30, 2010 at 11:57 AM
- morrisonmp said...
I tend to fall on the side of not houseruling a game whenever possible. My reasoning is a little different than a lot of what I've heard here so far though.
I tend to play with strangers/semi-strangers a lot. I don't have an established group of gamers that I can stick with and that we know each other well. I think this also applies to public event-style games.
So, I see the rules as the common language shared by the gamers coming to the table. Players who don't play together regularly cannot build tacit knowledge of group play styles or preferences, so they have only the rules gluing them together at the table (mechanically) and too much variation is a barrier to entry for a new gamer joining in.
This kind of thinking informs my thinking even on the rare occasions I do play with a 'comfortable' group. I won't say I never never houserule something, but it's a rarity, and has to be a pretty glaring problem to get me to alter it.
- April 30, 2010 at 12:09 PM
- Doug Wall said...
I am a believer in RAW. Hopefully, not to an anal-retentive degree, because looking up charts, tables, and formulas is not why I game. But if a player wants to invoke a particular rule with their actions, I will bring it out.
And Gleichman is an ass. Just sayin'
- April 30, 2010 at 1:43 PM
- Referee said...
The only rule that is religiously followed when I am a Referee...for every rule there is an exception.
Usually, I use rules to guide actions but I never feel imprisoned by them.

I have never in my 30 plus years of gaming used any set of rules or any game setting as written. I can't. My brain is simply not wired that way. I also can't build a Gundam model kit without kitbashing or scratchbuilding parts or use an image for a goblin I found on the internet without tweaking the picture.
That said, my comment yesterday was in regards to running RIFTS without the bulk of the detailed rules that are the very reason RIFTS fans play RIFTS.
On a similar note, if you wanted to run Champions but were looking to leave out a good portion of the number crunching I would tend to think, "No, you DON'T want to run Champions. You want to run Mutants & Masterminds", since that's essentially the major thematic difference between the two games.
I'm all about the modifications and the house rules but in my experience if I have to alter or leave out more than 40% of a game's elements, I am playing the wrong game for what I want to do.
- April 30, 2010 at 5:44 PM
- Randall said...
I always follow "Rule Zero" in any game I run. I treat the rules as guidelines for the GM and change them as needed (and when that need is discovered) to fit my campaign, my players, and our style of play.
I also just make rulings rather than look stuff up in mid-game if looking up would take much longer than just making a ruling. Keeping the game session moving is more important than wasting everyone's time looking up seldom-used rules -- especially if that requires looking though several books and/or arguing about it.

I house rule the bejesus out of things - well, I used to - I don't actually play much anymore. But I find that most games I play work for me to about the 50 to 80% level, and the rest I start monkeying with, mainly because I find drama, atmosphere and verisimilitude to both be more important than the rules.

My original DM went by the very deadly Basic D&D rules by the book with no mercy or wavering. If you rolled just 1 HP starting off you played it as is.
He was the best DM that I ever played with though he is a mundane non gamer now.
- April 30, 2010 at 10:58 PM
House rule very seldom. Mostly during character gen, Rolemaster. I like High Adventure games so i give some extra options to players during characvter gen, otherwise Rolemaster is super crunchy so there si a rule for rules.

Sergio Perez won't let rumours about his future at McLaren get to him, insisting they are "completely different" to reality.
McLaren have yet to confirm the Mexican driver for next season and have in fact stated that they are in no rush to do so and will wait a few races.
This prompted speculation that McLaren are undecided on whether or not to retain Perez.
The 23-year-old, though, says he's not fazed by the rumours.
"Well, what you see in the media and what is reality in the team are two completely different stories," he told the official F1 website.
"I am happy with the situation I have - and rumours don't change anything. I am determined to succeed and to do my best for my team - that hasn't changed.
"We still have four races to go to try to show our true colours; to score as many points as the car allows us to do, to put on a good show - and to look forward. I think we still can walk away from the season with our heads up."
Perez joined McLaren at the start of this season on the back of a brilliant year with Sauber in which he secured three podium finishes.
Believing he was moving onto a team capable of taking it that step further and winning races, Perez has instead found himself battling just to score points.
Asked whether he was 'feeling cheated', he said: "No, no. We are in a difficult situation, yes. And looking back I had the option to join other top teams for 2013, but when McLaren knocked at my door it was very clear that I would join them - that it is the right place for me.
"Yes, the season has been disappointing - not only for me, but for the whole team. But McLaren has such big potential and is so determined to succeed that what we see is not more than an unfortunate blip in the history of McLaren."

In the center of the new Richard Meier Model Museum in Jersey City, New Jersey, is a pair of models for the architect's 1997 Getty Center campus. The models could be buildings in themselves. Made of Malaysian birch and basswood, the models stretch 18 feet and 37 feet respectively; the smaller of the two had to be lifted into the space by crane through a window. Ducking underneath the five-foot-high models, it's possible to glimpse a warren of immaculately constructed tiny spaces.
Such an intimate view of an architectural masterpiece wouldn't be possible without the museum, which is hosted in a warehouse complex owned by Mana Contemporary, an organization that provides art handling and collection services as well as hosts studio spaces. Meier, FAIA, decided to move his model collection from a cramped 3,500-square-foot space in Long Island City to its new 15,000-square-foot home at the suggestion of Gary Lichtenstein, a printmaker who prints Meier's collages and runs a studio next door to the museum.
Meier's studio designed the elegant space over the past six months, covering it in his signature white and adding a system of shelves and pedestals that display hundreds of models from throughout the architect's long career, depicting projects both built and unbuilt. A model of the High Museum stands near an intricate proposal for the National Library of France, a reminder of just how much labor goes into turning many designs into just a handful of finished structures.
More than any other building, the Meier Model Museum is a temple to the Getty Center. Alongside the two largest models are dozens of other pieces that were created along the way to designing the complex, from fragments of hallways to a beautiful topographical study made of plaster. Meier's complex becomes a sculpture, its curves emphasized when the models are hung vertically on the wall.
The museum also provides a view into Meier's more personal work. In the front of the gallery are a series of collage-like sculptures made from casts of fragments of Getty Center models—a wall here, a staircase there, colliding together to create abstract forms. Meier's small collages are also on view in the museum library, which is stocked with back-issues of Architectural Forum and Domus. The collages evolve from earlier textural compositions to more recent juxtapositions of magazine clippings edged by white space.
Another highlight is a small model of the 1965 Smith House, one of the first buildings that made Meier's name. The model is obviously handmade: Its walls slightly curved by time, it nevertheless showcases the building's crisp, geometric proportions in contrast to the sloped Connecticut site.
In the intimate environment of the museum, it's possible to see the full arc of Meier's practice beyond the monotone modernism of his buildings into the more restless mind behind the work. The failed experiments—the pieces that never made it into buildings—the sculptures and collages all show the architect as an artist.
In fact, Meier keeps an active studio off one side of the museum, a room lit by tall windows occupied by an empty white desk ready to be occupied.
The Richard Meier Model Museum is open to researchers, architecture classes, and Meier fans for guided tours on Fridays by appointment, which can be made by emailing the studio at firstname.lastname@example.com.

After NYC subway deaths, barriers get new eye
|FILE - In this Jan. 25, 2010 file photo, an airport worker looks out of the car and through the open doorway of the glass security barrier at Washington Dulles International Airport in Washington. New York City transit officials are considering similar safety barriers between passenger platforms and trains after two people were pushed and a third fell to their deaths on the tracks since early December 2012. (AP Photo/Jose Luis Magana, File)
NEW YORK — Every day, throngs of riders stand on the edge of danger in the nation's busiest subway system, waiting on platforms with nothing between them and the tracks.
Dozens of subway and light rail systems around the world have safety barriers with sliding doors on their platforms, but the idea hasn't gotten traction in New York. Yet transit officials are giving it a new look after two people were pushed and a third fell to their deaths on the tracks since early December.

Rodney's art is an open journal of his personal path of belief and optimism. It illustrates the moment of enlightenment that we all seek. One can see the methodology behind his thinking and experience, voyeuristically, his personal growth by looking at his art.

Marriage amendment, online taxes highlight town meeting
Local legislators State Senator Travis Holdman and Representative Matt Lehman told those attending a town meeting at the Adams County Public Library on Saturday that they favor slowing down the train carrying legislation concerning the controversial marriage amendment.
"The marriage amendment does not have to be resolved this session," said Holdman. "It will probably be voted on next session. Ours is comparable to the California case in the Supreme Court which says people as a whole don't have the ability to vote on this. I think we should wait to discuss this next session."
"I'm asked almost daily about the gay marriage amendment," said Lehman. "If we pass it this session and the Supreme Court weighs against it, there would be no way to get it off the ballot. We need to stay focused on what needs to get done for Indiana now; I'm not in favor of voting on it this session."
Lehman said that one of his biggest concerns is working together as partners for what is best for Hoosiers.
"Somebody said to me, 'if we do that, it's a shot at the Obama administration,'" said Lehman. "I said, 'we're not taking shots; we're trying to move good legislation.'"
Lehman told a large group of interested patrons that House Bill 1007, also referred to as the Amazon tax, will get out of the house this session.
"This will create a level playing field for the online field versus retail," said Lehman.
Lehman stressed that the bill doesn't create a new tax, it just means that taxes will be collected at time of purchase.
"There's stories of people walking into a retail store and ordering an online product from inside the store to avoid taxes," said Lehman. "This is going to end that.
"This applies only to online retailers that have a physical presence in the state," continued Lehman. "The bill is intended to ensure a level playing field between brick and mortar retailers and online retailers with a nexus in the state."
Lehman said that the bill is expected to generate roughly between $39.6 and $114.3 million in revenue.
Another bill that Lehman has created allows a school district to sell a vacant school building after the building is made available for sale or lease to a charter school for at least two years (was originally four years). It also allows for a school district to request a waiver from the Indiana Department of Education bypassing the two year requirement if they feel that no charter school has an interest in the building.
In our region, the law is pertinent to the intention of East Allen County Schools to sell the elementary school in Monroeville to the local Catholic Church for use as a Catholic school.
"That building will be used for education; that's what it was intended for," said Lehman. "If no charter comes forward within 30 days with a credible objection, the school can dispose of the building in any lawful manner. A charter school cannot purchase a school building and then flip the property for a profit."
Holdman is currently working on legislation to improve the Indiana Department of Human Services. Among those efforts are:
- Senate Bill 125, intended to establish the "Commission of Improving the Status of Children,"
- Senate Bill 164, which gives local prosecutors the same authority as Department of Children's Services to file court petitions for a child to receive protective services,
- Senate Bill 392, which requires DCS to employ additional staff and implement greater collaboration between Indiana's child abuse hotline and local DCS offices to better protect Hoosier children.
When asked about Ball State pulling charters from two Fort Wayne schools, Holdman replied, "this shows the system is working. Ball State has pretty high standards for charter schools they sponsor. They said, 'if you don't meet the standards, we pull your charter.'"
Concerning Governor Pence's wishes to do a tax cut, Lehman said, "I support a tax cut but I don't think it's right for the state right now. Whether we cut or not will come down to the last 10 days of the session. If the money is there, we will do it."

Here is a pretty cookie-cutter and very strong raiding spec/glyphs:
Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
The prot subtree can actually be a much stronger tool for healing than the extra crit provided by ret. Longer and Stronger Sacred Shields, coupled with a raid-wise cooldown you can use every two minutes. This spec actually has 3 floater points which, in this case, are placed in 2/5 Benediction and maxing 2/2 Imp LoH.
For HL it can be more efficient to use a single nightmare's tear to fulfill your meta, allowing your remaining gems to be all yellow. Alternatively if you are able to get 2 sockets bonuses, 1 Luminous Ametrine and 1 Dazzling Eye of Zul can be equally as effective. Obviously as you've stated you need to get all Brilliant King's Ambers.
You'll likely run into regen issues when starting out with HL, so in order to optimize these some of your enchants could be changed. First and foremost your helm arcanum and shoulder inscription should be changed to the SP/Mp5 alternatives. As well you should probably opt for 16 intellect to bracers and 30 intellect for your weapon.
You will likely want to swap your leg enchant to Sapphire Spellthread (SP/Stam). The spirit you are currently recieving from your Brilliant Spellthread is really wasted itemization and not doing anything for you. The stam gain is helpful for personal survivability and will yield a marginal increase to the effectiveness of your Hand of Sacrifice and Divine Sacrifice cooldowns.
The ideal itemization for HL is haste/mp5; after that haste/crit and then crit/mp5. Haste is definitely our best throughput stat so I would look for attaining quite a bit of that, while maintaining 'acceptable' amounts of regen. Hopefully after some time you will find what is a good amount of regen to support your particular playstyle.
Having said that I'm just going to list some attainable/farmable upgrades that are either crafted, from emblems, or from 5 mans.
Libram: Libram of Renewal (ilvl 200) Emblems of Heroism
Head: Headguard of Inner Warmth - Emblems of Triumph
Neck: Love's Prisoner - Bronjahm (H) FoS
Chest: Chestpiece of High Treason - Falric (H) HoR
Bracers: Sunforged Bracers OR Black Chitin Bracers - Crafted Plate/Mail
Shield: Protector of Frigid Souls - Scourgelord Tyrannus (N) PoS
Trinket*: Tears of the Vanquished - The Black Knight (N) ToC
*This is over the Ephemeral Snowflake
Obviously this list is very limited since I tried to restrict to non-raid upgrades.
Hope this helps!

Your Ultimate Hair Brush Guide
To get perfect hair, you need the perfect brush! Here's a handy guide to the most common types of brushes on the market, plus when to use each one.
By Kara McGrath
Natural Bristle Brush
Usually made of boar bristles, these brushes are super soft and help to distribute your hair's natural oils all the way to the ends, which makes for some seriously shiny strands! 100% boar bristle brushes can be pretty pricey, but the healthy hair benefits make them worth saving up for. Though anyone can use a natural bristle brush, girls with fine, straight hair or relaxed locks will especially fall in love, since they're gentle on delicate strands!

Microchip implantation must occur PRIOR to rabies vaccination. Any rabies vaccination that occurs prior to microchip implantation is not considered valid regardless of whether the animal was up-to-date on its previous rabies vaccines. In this case, the animal must be revaccinated. 21 days must have elapsed after the first (primary) vaccination after implantation of the microchip before the animal is eligible to enter the European Union. A rabies vaccination is considered primary if either: (1) an animal was up-to-date on its rabies vaccination but vaccination occurred prior to microchip implantation, (2) vaccination was not carried out within the period of validity of a previous vaccination, or (3) the animal was vaccinated for the first time.
Pet Passports – Dogs, cats, and ferrets returning to France after traveling to the United States may be accompanied by an EUPet Passport issued prior to leaving the EU. An EU health certificate is not required, and APHIS should not endorse the Passport.
If an animal needs a rabies booster while in the United States, this information cannot be entered into the EU Passport by a US veterinarian. A regular EU health certificate must be issued by the accredited veterinarian and endorsed by APHIS.

The English Laundry Trunk is a super soft microfiber trunk. Features the Union Jack waistband and pouch front design in 6 stylish color combos. You don't have to pledge allegiance to the Queen (or royal baby) to appreciate these trunks!
says Robert
Monday, March 17, 2014 - True To SizeI'm a blue addict, and had to get this gorgeous shade. That was my reason to order. It turns out to be the most comfortable pair--this type & cut--of any! They're so soft & comfy, I forget they're on. The stretch fabric molds to your form, so they are also a teaser/eye pleaser for enticing admirers to notice you. Comfy and sexy--can't beat that!

You should be able to all heroics with a competent healer. Make sure you use Wyrmest tabard. There's 2 or 3 very good items there.
Hi guys,
I'm hoping I can get some help here, I just hit 80 last night and now I can look at grinding heroics. Doing some research here, and on a few other sites, I have found that Heroic Gundrak seems to have the best options as far as gear upgrades, with a Helmet, shoulders and gloves all as possible drops. As well the red sword of courage is a tanking must in UP
So my question is this, am i ready for those 2 instances? or do I need to cut my teeth on easier 5 mans first. I should say that this is my second 80 and I have done most 5 man heroics and even 25 man OS and VoA on my Shaman, but i have yet to tank any heroics.
I think stat wise I'm as good as I can get before Heroics,
Armor - 21498 - 58.53% DR
Defense - 540
Dodge - 17%
Parry - 15.17%
Block - 15.6%
Just wondering if I can try for the gear upgrades yet or if I should do the easier heroics to build my wyrmrest rep first?
You should be able to all heroics with a competent healer. Make sure you use Wyrmest tabard. There's 2 or 3 very good items there.
I wasn't even crit immune when I dinged 80 and walked into my first heroic. I was still in my T6/sunwell gear. As long as you know what you're doing and your healer is awake you will be fine.
Thanks guys.
I had heard all you really need is around 535 defense and about 20K Hp to tank any heroic, but a fellow prot warrior in my guild also just started tanking heroics and was having trouble in pug groups. I suspect it had more to do with the DPS going all out as soon as she pulled rather than give her a second or two to build some threat.
I just wanted some re-assurance I'm not getting in over my head.
You have a lot of options for more health. Looking at your armory it doesn't appear as if you have anything enchanted. You have two gathering professions so you haven't advanced your cause with crafter profession only gear and I'll presume the two gathering skills net you a lot of gold. If that is the case then where is your shotgun?
Crit trinket is a total waste imo and the Regal trinket is all BC and is very weak.
You might consider dropping skinning and power leveling JC.
You could do it but pugs will be rough for you and you'll be last picked when multiple tanks are in LFG.
I found this to be true with pugs as well. Even now with about 28K health 24K armor and 560 defense pugs can be rough. You might be able to get an invite to pug a 10 man VOA. Sounds funny but that is how I started getting gear. By all means put your character thru be.imba.hu and gem and enchant everything..... it shows others you are doing what you can. HOL reg I think you can pick up Eternally folded blade which is good until you can get your Red Sword of courage. VOA 10 and Sarth 10 man are pretty easy and do not take much time.
You should probably just link your armory and have posted this to the appropriate forum.
Moved. Please read rules located in my signature and at the top of each forum before posting.
READ THIS: Posting & Chat Rules
Thanks for the advice I'll look at getting JC going this week. I know my trinkets suck but I just haven't found anything good yet questing. As for the Shotgun i was trying to be cheap and not buy the titanium and mine it myself but I think I'll break down and buy the bars I need.

they are very accommodating.
Several gluten free options, separate gluten free menu. Chips aren't gluten free though as they are fried in communal fryer. Server was very helpful.
Very limited GF menu.
1890 S. Stemmons Frwy., Lewisville, TX 76067
Disappointing that corn chips are not gf...I mean come on OTB and try a little bit
867 US 31 North, Greenwood, IN 46142
The GF menu was very confusing. The one thing that upset me was that there was queso and guac that you could have, but you can't have the chips. What are you suppose to eat the queso and guac with. I did order my meal with corn tortillas and they were able to give me those.
10710 Providence Rd., Charlotte, NC 28277
Food was fine. Just do not care for the atmosphere.
71 SE Wyoming Blvd, Casper, WY 82601
On the Border is not GF in Casper. The cook told me that the all meats are in a marinade that is not GF. Chips are not GF not a good option for Celiac.
3080 Iowa Street, Lawrence, KS 66046
This place has gotten better.
19 Commerce Way, Woburn, MA 01801
I had a very bad experience here. Was served the fajitas with flour tortillas. When I questioned it - the waitress told me they were GF. I asked to see the manager - who couldn't apologize enough for the waitress - who was wrong. Be careful if you eat here!
3080 Iowa Street, Lawrence, KS 66046
Tried it. Won't be going back.
3111 Midwestern Pkwy., Wichita Falls, TX 76308
Waitress was helpful and made sure I had everything GF.
4855 Beltline Rd, Addison, TX 75254
they are on this registry yet they fry their corn chips in the same frier as the gluten filled options. they don't have but 3 options. the only good thing is their wait staff...or maybe we just got lucky. either way I am disappointed they are on here.
535 N. Lakeview, Vernon Hills, IL 60061
They did have a gluten free menu with a decent selection. Our server was fairly knowledgable. I was bummed the chips weren't GF but enjoyed the chicken dish I ordered.
71 SE Wyoming Blvd, Casper, WY 82601
Though i called ahead it took them about 10 minutes to find the menu -- and they gave me the vegetarian menu instead. Then it took another five minutes to find the gf menu, which had expired almost a year before. Tortilla chips here are NOT gf. Very limited gf selection. Our waitress was clueless. I asked if corn tortillas were lightly fried because I was concerned about shared oil and she said no, but they arrived lightly fried. I didn't get sick but I think it was a miracle.
650 Bald Hill Rd, Warwick, RI 02886
Not a fan......not many choices....can't even have chips and salsa ??
4411 Bryant Irvin Rd, Ft. Worth, TX 76132
Previously worked here too... Tried to tell them ways to improve gluten free menu but nobody cared, even the GM at the time. If you have any real allergy to gluten DO NOT EAT HERE. There are a few items that I would feel confident saying are gluten free ie queso chicken, tomatillo chicken and fajitas without tortillas. Unfortunately the chips are not gluten free and neither are the corn tortillas unless you ask them to microwave them.
4306 W. Loop 250 North, Midland, TX 79707
Chips are fried in a dedicated fryer at this location, so they are safe. Queso and hot sauce also safe...I just make a "meal" out of those. I haven't been brave enough to order anything else. I do love that they list which margaritas are safe. Herradura is delicious!
21091 Haggerty Rd., Novi, MI 48375
Staff not knowledgable, menu is ok but why go to a Mexican place where you can't eat their corn chips, I'll go to Rojo
4970 N. George Bush Frwy, Garland, TX 75040
Gf menu with choices, but chips not in dedicated fryer.
535 N. Lakeview, Vernon Hills, IL 60061
Worst experience ever
71 SE Wyoming Blvd, Casper, WY 82601
They couldn't find menu at first, but my food wasn't contaminated like at other visits to this chain in different locations
11721 Chenal Parkway, W. Little Rock, AR 72211
No meat here is soy free and almost nothing is GF. We just had to leave and go somewhere else. If you're going to the trouble to have a soy free menu, you should have something on it to eat besides lettuce.
8340 NW Roanridge Rd., Kansas City, MO 64151
Food isn't good, GF menu is confusing and has limited options. Staff isn't very knowledgable.
8101 Giacosa Drive, Memphis, TN 38133
Not the best
8230 Gateway Overlook Dr., Elkridge, MD 21075
When I told them I needed GF, they brought out a separate menu. The waiter was very nice and patient and the food was great. They had true corn tortillas that were nice and soft. I had chicken fajitas and they were fantastic. My only complaint is there is no pricing on the GF menu, and it's somewhat complicated to read.
4160 Church Road, Mt. Laurel, NJ 08054
Helpful, fairly knowledge staff. Good amount if GF options.
709 Texas Ave., College Station, TX 77840
I ate here awhile back, talked to the manager about my gluten allergy and still got contaminated. Never going back!!!!
120 S. Meridian, Oklahoma City, OK 73107
Asked for the gf menu when we walked in. They have a whole notebook with different menus for a wide variety of allergens, updated with menu changes every two months. It was well-organized. The restaurant itself was clean, with a good atmosphere. We went in just after the lunch rush on a weekday. We ate at RoTB many times prior to finding out my son and I had gluten issues. The food is more Southwest/Tex-Mex than traditional Mexican. Lots of bright, spicy flavors and fresh items. I got the Mango Chicken Salad, and my son had the BBQ-Chipotle Salmon. Both were very good.
1519 Silas Deane Hwy., Rocky Hill, CT 06067
Best choices for Gluten free foods.. They don't beer and dessert for gluten free.. Chips are not gluten free..
8001 Concorde Mills Blvd., Concorde, NC 28027
I have eaten here a few times and it's hit or miss. They do have a limited gluten free menu but aren't very knowledgeable about celiac.
3930 Baldwin Road, Auburn Hills, MI 48326
They did have a gluten free menu, however it was very confusing to make sense of (ex. One item said you can have ____ without beans, but then on the safe side items it says you can have beans). The waitress we had had no idea about gluten free eating and made a lot of assumptions that would have made me sick had I not corrected her. When I got my food it didn't taste good. The food tastes very "pre-made" and "artificial" to me. Did not enjoy it. Had mad heartburn all night. Would not go back.
4411 Bryant Irvin Rd, Ft. Worth, TX 76132
Chips and even corn tortillas are cooked on universal surfaces with wheat. Some options for gluten free, but high possibilities of cross-contamination. I was not able to order anything off the menu.
4552 Poplar Ave., Memphis, TN 38117
I enjoy the GF menu here. Many options and the staff was knowledgable.
2409 E. Franklin Blvd, Gastonia, NC 28054
They make their own flour tortillas daily. The whole kitchen is contaminated. The GF menu is confusing; tells you you can't have the sides, then lists the sides that are part of the dish on a different part of the menu. I and my son both had major reactions after eating there.
1738 Route 46 West, Woodland Park, NJ 07424
mmanager is celiac. never had a reaction.
1724 Route 228, Cranberry TWP, PA 16066
We have been to this location many times with consistent results; excellent choices for gluten free food, knowledgable servers and supportive management staff. I am extremely gluten intolerant and no problems here. Good selections on menu. Would recommend any time.
535 N. Lakeview, Vernon Hills, IL 60061
contamination!!!!!!! I would avoid this restaurant at all cost I am NOT gluten free my husband and my daughter are they got very sick and I don't like the food either it used to be good a long time ago now it is just absolutely gross!!!
140 S. Jordan Creek Pkwy., W. Des Moines, IA 50266
Server was very informative on gluten free options
535 N. Lakeview, Vernon Hills, IL 60061
Was awful chips aren't even gluten free
5340 E. 41st Street South, Tulsa, OK 74135
I have been to the On the Border on 41st in Tulsa many times. I usually don't order from gf menu. Don't know that I've ever mentioned my food has to be gf. As long as I order enchiladas, tacos, or fajitas, I have no problem. The staff has always been courteous and quick to fill my order. The food has always been delicious. I love going here.
1915 Glacier Park Ave., Naperville, IL 60540
Good menu, but non gf chips were a disappointment!
8230 Gateway Overlook Dr., Elkridge, MD 21075
Have a gluten free menu but when asked if they have a different cooking surface for my meal I was told it was cooked on the same grill as all of the other food. Total food contamination. Companies really need to understand what offering something gluten free entails.
3111 Midwestern Pkwy., Wichita Falls, TX 76308
they had a gluten free menu. I could have the queso and guacamole, but no chips. I ordered the corn tortillas, but I got extremely sick afterwards.
11880 Spectrum CE, Reston, VA 22090
Horrible. The food was bad. I had to correct the waitress on several errors in gluten free foods. I was sick after eating here.
3233 S. Broadway, Edmond, OK 73013
you order off the gf menu and have to send it back because they put the chip strips on yor meal
2651 Prince William Pkwy, Woodbridge, VA 22192
BEWARE! Chips are not GF... staff is not knowledgeable on cross contamination concerns.
11880 Spectrum CE, Reston, VA 22090
Not really gluten free. The have a big, bulky Allergen menu binder they will hunt up for you to search through. Not easy or convenient,, and I don't think the staff has a clue about gluten or cross contamination. I used to think the food was good before I had to deal with Celiac, but both times I've eaten there since I had to go gluten free they've glutened me pretty badly. Try Anita's instead. Much better options on the menu and the staff seems more accommodating even though they don't have a gluten free menu.
2651 Prince William Pkwy, Woodbridge, VA 22192
Great service but not a big GF menu. The chips are questionable at the least.
120 S. Meridian, Oklahoma City, OK 73107
My waiter wasn't very assuring of gluten free options and left me guessing whether it was safe or not. I ordered fajitas but it came as meat only no veggies.
8230 Gateway Overlook Dr., Elkridge, MD 21075
Great gluten free menu and accommodating staff.
790 Cobb Place Blvd., Kennesaw, GA 30144
Server was very knowledgable and helpful with suggesting GF items on the menu. GF menu is nice, but I always feel better with a server looking out for us. Good variety. Corn chips have a dedicated fryer, so they are safe! Glad we found a Mexican restaurant we can go to now.
3310 Fairlane Dr,, Allen Park, MI 48101
I just finished my lunch today for dinner and was still disappointed! We went there due to my parents intolerance for gluten. All they found was a regular menu with special menu items lIsted as not gluten free . You know taco salad without the shell! OLA! BTW Even my meal was not good. Steak in my meal was full of fat. Vey disappointed!
2190 Southgate Rd., Colorado Springs, CO 80906
We had a great experience and they were great with my daughters gluten allergy our food was fresh and great our server was a young kid who went for help when we told him about our daughters allergy instead of playing it off like he knew what he was doing ! We will def eat here again. As for the red robin across the way we wont be going to that one be cautious when you go to that red robin !

Used by the U.S. military, both the gloves and socks have an outer layer of nylon/Lycra for durability and a comfortable stretch fit, a waterproof middle layer, and an inner layer of expedition-weight, double-velour Polartec� fleece that wicks away moisture. The wrist-high gloves conform to your hand easily without stretching and have textured grips for better handholds. Pressure tested to ensure against leaks. Made in the U.S. Gloves. Generous fit; for a tight fit, order a size down. For sizing, measure around the hand (not fingers) at the fullest part excluding the thumb. (4 1/2 oz.)
To ensure a proper fit in our gloves, we encourage you to measure your hand to determine your glove size.

Terribly dissappointed
By Molean
from Southfield, MIchigan
I work outside on planes. Hands were dry but freezing when the glove got wet. It is not as advertised.

The enormous gloves
By lespirit
from Denver, CO
These gloves are huge! Yes, they warn the purchaser to order a size smaller, which we did, but those were too big. We exchanged them for a size smaller yet, and even though the gloves "fit," the fingers are enormous, made for very fat fingers, I suppose. They just felt floppy and ill-fitting. With all the stretchable materials available on the market today, I think these gloves -- which are in theory a good idea -- need to be redesigned.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: If you are ever disappointed with a product - for any reason - we request that you return it to us. Please call our 24-hour customer service hotline at 1-800-321-1484 and one of our representatives will be happy to assist you.

Too tight,even at the larger size
By Cactus
from Taos, NM
Fit is so tight that gloves cannot have enough airspace to allow warming. Even at moderately cold temperatures, hands get verycold.
By Jen
from Virginia Beach, VA
I bought 2, 1 for my dad & 1 for my brother. My dad lives up north & has to deal with snow removal every winter. My brother lays sewer lines & fixes busted water mains. He's in water all day & now his hands stay dry. He also has the waterproof socks!
Best gloves yet for cold, wet weather
By contented housewife
from eastern Connecticut
I bought the waterproof gloves as a Christmas present for my son-in-law who works as ground crew at the airport in Hartford, Connecticut. Those are the folks outside in all kinds of weather unloading bags and draining/loading fluids. It is often wet and cold, and he gets cold hands all winter. He says these gloves are the best he has worn so far, really waterproof but not always warm enough.
