A Series of Fortunate Events
Nearly a half-century ago, a history professor started Artist Series with $15,000 and an empty theater
Milt Russos spoke about each of the shows in Artist Series' 48th season.
"Mamma Mia!" (Oct. 18-19): "… It's one of the most popular shows that we have presented over the years and one of the most requested shows. It continues to be very popular, and that's why it's coming back."
"Flashdance: The Musical" (Dec. 10-15): "Based on one of America's most popular movies, 'Flashdance' has very recognizable song titles and great choreography. It's a crowd-pleaser! Also, with the show opening in New York this fall, Jacksonville audiences will get the chance to see a new production at about the same time as [New York] audiences."
"Blue Man Group" (Jan. 21-26): "Appeals to multiple demographics. An audience favorite wherever it plays!"
"War Horse" (Feb. 18-23): "Simply outstanding theater! One of the best shows I have ever seen and easily among my top 10 favorites! Winner of five Tony Awards in 2011, including Best Play."
"Memphis" (March 18-23): "It won multiple Tony Awards in 2010, including 'Best Musical.' Great songs and great choreography."
"Million Dollar Quartet" (April 22-27): "Based on a true story, with great music from four American music icons. The Jerry Lee Lewis character will knock your socks off!"
Artist Series' season-ticket holders pick up their tickets, exchange them and buy single tickets for family and friends. Patrons who want to purchase season tickets can see which seats are available and "test drive" them.
10 a.m.-6 p.m. Sept. 18
Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts, 300 W. Water St., Downtown
When Milt Russos was first hired as an American history professor at what is now Florida State College at Jacksonville in 1966, he was asked to help with the student activities program. With an empty theater and a $15,000 budget, Russos took the reins and put together what is now the leading source of professional touring productions in Northeast Florida — Artist Series.
Artist Series begins its 48th season this year, marking a long journey from its humble beginnings.
The lineup for the 2012-'13 season offered 35 unique public productions and nine unique school productions, for a total of 96 stage performances, according to Artist Series.
Mark Andersen, a season-ticket holder of three years, said he started attending with his parents, and now even his 16-year-old son Tyler joins him for the shows. He enjoys the shows so much, he sometimes will attend more than once.
"I went to see 'Rock of Ages' on Wednesday night, and I'm going back Sunday night again," Andersen said last season. "I've been very pleased with the shows they've brought in."
Sarah Roy, publicist for the series, said that its seasons run like a typical school year. The shows are chosen based on which ones are doing well on Broadway, then they are brought here, where they're typically staged at the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts in Downtown Jacksonville.
But how did the program get to where it is today? Born and raised in the tropics of South Florida, Russos said he wasn't really involved in anything theater-related throughout his school years, mostly just the school band.
Russos moved to Jacksonville in 1966 after graduating from the University of Florida with a bachelor's degree in history and a master's degree in education. With not too many responsibilities and a brand-new job, he admits he was willing to take on a lot.
Regardless of his lack of involvement in theater growing up, he said what went on behind the lights and the curtains is what really fascinated him.
"The director of the play — or the musical — does a great job of working with those actors and the direction that they go," Russos said. "But it's the entire back-end business operation that … I've always found intriguing."
Russos took his curiosity and some prior experience from college and put together the original ideas regarding content and pricing for the series. He said they could do a lot with the $15,000 budget back then.
"We did some classical artists, some chamber groups, I think we had a film series …," Russos said. "Students could attend free, and they could buy a day ticket for $1 [for multiple shows]."
The 1970s was a time of change, not only for Russos, but for the music industry as a whole. He recalled the difficulty of entering the rock business and the departure of one of his colleagues, who decided to pursue his own dreams, separate from the series.
It wasn't until the mid-1970s that the series had its first Broadway show. The series was looking for different ways to bring in a more stable revenue right around the time that the Broadway traveling industry was just beginning.
"Grease" was the first Broadway production here, and it sold out. He described the production as having music then that appealed to all audiences, as it does even now. The following year, they ran "Godspell," which also did quite well.
Russos and his team continued to look at ways that they could bring in more money. They noticed a growing trend in season tickets. Following in the footsteps of classical music and performing arts organizations, theaters across the country began offering the same amenities.
In 1977, the series hosted its first full season of Broadway shows, two of which were "Bubbling Brown Sugar" and "Same Time, Next Year." Russos admits that they were surprised with the amount of season tickets they sold in the first year, and over the next decade, they made small changes to accommodate their audiences.
The next big shift occurred in 1986, when the wildly popular Broadway show "Cats" was brought to Jacksonville. Russos recalled the risks of bringing such a huge show to a city not known for its cultural diversity.
"But we sold 25,000 tickets," Russos said. "Completely sold the show out … but it was a big wake-up call, you know, to us it was like, 'Oh my God … this is what we can do.' "
Although not every show was a success after that, "Cats" returned five years in a row. Each time, it was hugely successful. "Today, it's really become a great introduction to theater," Russos said. "It's just good entertainment."
Over the years, Russos had to deal with a lot of criticism and doubt coming from the Jacksonville community. He remembered wanting to run the "Phantom of the Opera" show for four weeks and how he received negative reactions.
"The doubting Thomases come out in force. Four weeks … are you crazy?" Russos said. "Sometimes Jacksonville doesn't have a good feeling about itself."
Show after show, the series continued to prove everyone wrong. They started selling Broadway tickets in the $30 range, and today, Russos said it's not unusual to sell Broadway tickets for $80, and concert tickets for more than $100.
Ultimately, the programming of all of the shows is up to Russos, but his staff does surveys, attends national and regional conferences and keeps up with literature and reviews of shows when they go through other cities.
Scheduling is based on the routes of the shows and the availability of venues.
Russos said he's had to adapt to the area's changing tastes, adding that the community has become much more sophisticated.
Beginning in the Civic Auditorium, the series now stages productions at two primary venues: the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts and the Wilson Center for the Arts. The series has also used the Jacksonville Coliseum, which has since been demolished, The Florida Theatre and the Veterans Memorial Arena.
The original $15,000 budget seems miniscule compared to today's budget of about $10 million.
As Russos explained, the revenue to operate the series comes primarily from ticket sales, service charges, advertising, sponsorships and contributions. The proceeds support the series' educational endeavors, which include multiple summer programs. Proceeds also benefit the FSCJ Foundation, a nonprofit organization administering scholarships; it's been the sponsor of Artist Series since 1985.
Of the many shows throughout the years, three have stood out to Russos — "Walking with Dinosaurs," "Les Miserables" and "Jersey Boys." Though "Les Miserables" is his all-time favorite, he enjoyed the universal appeal of "Jersey Boys."
"I have … friends that have gone to see it," Russos said, "and they say, 'I just can't get those songs out of my head!' "
After nearly 50 years of being a part of the series, Russos still resides in Jacksonville with his wife. His two children are grown and have moved to other places across the country.
He said he still loves the satisfaction he feels after a successful show.
"It's always a challenge … and if I had anything that drives me, that's probably it," Russos said. "I've done it for so long, it has to be something other than, oh, you really like doing this."
On a Sunday night last season, as the sun set in Downtown Jacksonville, play-lovers of all ages gathered in the roomy lobby of the Times-Union Center. The smell of cinnamon-glazed nuts and the faint sound of 1980s rock music played in the background. The final performance of "Rock of Ages" was about to begin.
The show could return in a few years, as others have, or Russos might have to find something more appropriate for coming generations.
"I've seen so many changes in this community since I've been here," Russos said. "In some respect we have to … mirror those changes."

VIPP Diaper Pail
Quantity: 1
Even airtight diaper pails are often made of odor-absorbing plastic that can leave a lingering smell. But Vipp bins are made of stainless steel that's easy to keep clean and odor-free.
Why it's a giggle pick Doctors use them because they're compact, airtight and sanitary -- and that's what also makes them the perfect diaper pail!See Full Details
Meets the following giggle Criteria:
BEST BASICS: everyday baby essentials
MULTI-USE: versatile & long-lasting
INNOVATIVE: smart products that do more
the giggle criteria: We've narrowed down the choices by picking only the best products out there. In other words: if we sell it, we love it, and we think you will, too! Each year, we talk to tons of parents to find out what's most important to them when it comes to baby and kids products. The result? Every product we offer goes through a rigorous selection process and must meet at least three of the following criteria to be included in our assortment:
Materialstainless steel
Dimensions20" H x 11" W x 11" D
Weight13.2 lbs.
AgeNewborn & Up
Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 12 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by kerilarson Expensive but beautiful This held in the odors from our cloth diapers without exception. We never left diapers in for more than a few hours, but the medical grade seal definitely did its job. I will admit that this was a splurge by my husband and me because it looks so modern and clean, as opposed to all those plastic monstrosities on the market, because a hideous plastic diaper thingies would have ruined the aesthetics of the baby's nursery (obviously only a problem for us; the baby could not care less). But, we know we will have it to use for the rest of our lives! It's so cool and Euro, now we use it in the laundry room as a trash can. I just wish we had something stinkier to put in it to really justify the heavy-duty seal, but at least it is like a decoration instead of a trash can. June 3, 2009
Rated 2 out of 5 by SFDC Not worth it I so wanted it to be the king of diaper pails. I think I've been in denial for awhile now. There is no denying it is one gorgeous can, yes. But I am gravely disappointed -- totally nauseated, in truth -- every time it is opened, and often when it is not. The worst part is the smells cling to the can. Not the steal liner, but the can itself. We set it outside in the sun for two days, but the smell was not gone. I can't believe I spent $300 on this. October 25, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by JFox Worth the extra money! When I got this diaper pail some moms thought I was crazy for getting such an expensive diaper pail. It's been well worth the money. It has a very stylish design plus it really contains the smell. I would put it on my list of top 10 baby products. August 21, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 Best investment ever!!! Love my Vipp. Andrea, My son is 5 months old and already eating solids, I can not smell anything in the nursery it is wonderful and the best selling point for me is it is a trash can so if you buy a large one you can use it after in your kitchen etc...... and they use regular trash bags so your not spending the money on specific garbage bags like the other diaper pails, so by the time I factored all the costs of regular diaper pail bags this will last a lifetime rather then just until the diaper stage is gone. I have a stainless steel colored one and plan to use it in my kitchen eventually. July 29, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by JKwon Stylish and keeps the odor from escaping! This is one of the more expensive diaper pails, but I highly recommend it. Our son has some explosive #2 diapers and this pail keeps the odors from permeating the entire nursery. We have a diaper genie at my parents place and we need to empty it out more often because it's not as good at trapping the odor. March 10, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by sarasark8 Love it in yellow! Like some of the other reviews, this is a pricey addition to any nursery, BUT it has been worth the price of admission. My husband, again, like many of the others was against buying this bin - so we made a deal. If we could raise the money by selling stuff on ebay, I could get the bin. Needless to say, we did and I bought the yellow one! The minimalist design of the bin goes great with the room, we will use this well beyond the baby stage AND true to the other reviews - no smell at all. We are using the VIPP liners, which may again be a little more spendy than using something else, but they fit perfectly. Though I will say if you use the VIPP liners, don't stuff them too full - I did this and there did come a rip in the bag today as I emptied the can. October 16, 2009
Rated 4 out of 5 by JCMom Really Keeps Out the Smell We have a small condo so smell from the diaper pail was a major fear for us. This can really holds in the odor and is well-made. It is expensive (thus the 4 stars), but it works. October 5, 2009
Rated 5 out of 5 by jemmasdad Vipp is fantastic We received as a gift when our daughter was born. Now three years later, we are getting ready to move the Vipp diaper pail to our new child's room. It still looks like new and does wonders for keeping the smell contained. We are getting ready for another three years of use. July 12, 2009

Keeping VIPP Diaper Pail Clean
Q:We received the VIPP diaper pail as a shower gift and absolutely love it - does a wonderful job of keeping odors in...as long as it is closed. Whenever we open it to toss a dirty diaper, it smells. Can you provide any recommendations as to how to clean it or other tips to maintain it as odorless as possible? I currently have a baking soda pack adhered to the inside of the lid and no luck! My pail came in with no literature, so thanks in advance!
A:Even airtight diaper pails are often made of odor-absorbing plastic that can leave a lingering smell. But Vipp bins are made of stainless steel that's easy to keep clean and odor-free, which is why it's a giggle pick: Doctors use them because they're compact, airtight and sanitary -- and that's what also makes them the perfect diaper pail! The inner can should be regularly cleaned, and it's so easy to remove -- we recommend giggle's Better Basics Clean for the safest, most effective clean in the nursery, bathroom, or anywhere in the home.

Antique Spanish Emerald & Diamond Ring
Antique jewelry from the Iberian Peninsula are truly created using treasure from the New World. Typically ornate, Spanish and Portuguese pieces are often characterized by the high gold content.
Here a beautiful ring of 20k yellow gold features an entrancing rectangular emerald 5.5 mm by 3.55 mm centrally set with a rub over collet of gold and encased within a surround of rose and table cut diamonds. Table cuts were one of the earliest cuts of diamonds and are distinguished from others with a flat bottom, flat top surface and four simple equal bevels or facets. The reverse displays a closed back setting with handmade impressions on the perimeter.
Date: 18th century. This design and form was produced for many decades; it would be imprudent to be more precise regarding the date.
Measurements: 9/16 of an inch (1.4 cm) in length north to south on the finger by 9/16 of an inch (1.5 cm) in width. Weight of 5.3 grams (3.4 dwt).
Ring Size: US 7-1/2 (UK P; Euro or Int. Circum 55.3 mm; Int. Dia. 17.75 mm; Japan 15) and easily can be sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Condition: Very good for its age. Bezel around a number of stones is minutely misshapen and is only visible with magnification; two to three diamonds possibly replaced with rose cut diamonds – one of these diamonds is naive cut.
Origin: Spanish or Portuguese in origin.

The most frequent question we get regarding the Fatigue Module is "Which fatigue model should I use in my simulations?" There is no straight answer to this question, since fatigue is not based on an exact differential equation, but on engineering observations that lead to different physical models. The applicability of each model can depend on factors such as material and loading type. Today, I will discuss different approaches for fatigue model selection and the applicability of the different models.Read more ⇢

Today, we invite guest blogger Nagi Elabbasi of Veryst Engineering to share the work they performed on simulating wear in COMSOL Multiphysics. Using COMSOL Multiphysics, we implemented a wear model and validated it by simulating a pin-on-disc wear test. We then used the model to predict wear in an automotive disc brake problem. The results we found showed good agreement with published wear data.Read more ⇢

Modular orthopedic devices, common in replacement joints, allow surgeons to tailor the size, material, and design of an implant directly to a patient's needs. This flexibility and customization is counterbalanced, however, by a need for the implant components to fit together correctly. With parts that are not ideally matched, micro-motions and stresses on mismatched surfaces can cause fretting fatigue and corrosion. Researchers at Continuum Blue Ltd. have assessed changes to femoral implant designs to quantify and prevent this damage.Read more ⇢

Engineers simulating fatigue in nonlinear materials are faced with two challenges. You must correctly represent the material behavior with a constitutive relation and find a fatigue model that captures the life-controlling mechanism. Both challenges require a thorough material knowledge. Today, we will address these challenges when modeling thermal fatigue in nonlinear materials.Read more ⇢

Research on fatigue started in the 19th century, initiated following failing railroad axles that caused train accidents. In a rotating axle, stress varies from tension to compression and back to tension in one revolution. The load history is simple because it is uniaxial and proportional. Fatigue can then be evaluated with the S-N curve, also known as the Wöhler curve, which relates stress amplitude to a component's life. In many applications we deal with multiaxiality and non-proportional loading. In this […]Read more ⇢

In many applications, loads applied to structures are random in nature. The sampling results of the structural response will differ depending on the data collection time. Although the stress experienced is not always high, the repeated loading and unloading can lead to fatigue. The engineering challenges in these types of applications are defining the stress response to the random load history in the critical points, and predicting fatigue damage. This is simulated with the Cumulative Damage feature in the Fatigue […]Read more ⇢

If you've studied structural mechanics you're probably familiar with stories of planes falling out of the sky due to fatigue (no one wants to be the engineer who designed an airplane that crashed…). Jimmy Stewart made a famous movie about that, but different from the usual horror stories of fatigue is the accident in 1919 of a storage tank that burst in Boston, spilling molasses onto the streets at 35 mph (56 km/h). The Boston Molasses Disaster, as it's referred […]Read more ⇢

One of the differences between this year's COMSOL Conference, and previous years', is that this year we filmed a lot of it. During the next few weeks we will be publishing some of these videos for those that were there, to enjoy it once again, and for those that weren't to get a taste of what went on. To kick these all off, I'm proud to present the first keynote video, which takes us to Babel.Read more ⇢

10 Questions for Bob Langert, McDonald's VP of Sustainabi
As the saying goes, the best way to get an answer is to ask a direct question. In a recent interview with Accountability, McDonald's VP of Sustainability, Bob Langert, provides his answers to ten very direct questions related to sustainability – including how the nature of sustainability has changed over the years, what it means for McDonald's and our employees, the initiatives we are most proud of, and more.
Check it out and let us know your thoughts.
I do agree that sustainability has become a major factor in corporations and I'm glad McDonald's is focusing on this issue. What is also an interesting topic is how being ethical and being sustainable relate to one another. For example, Mr. Langert talks about McDonald's project with the National Potato Council to develop a program to "monitor, measure, and reduce pesticides for potato growing." I was wondering if there were further plans to extrapolate this practice to other suppliers. As an example, Starbucks posts on its blog how they are making sure that their coffee is being ethically sourced (http://www.starbucks.com/blog/ensuring-ethically-s
My family and I are big McD's fans. We probably come to one of your restaurants every 7-10 days. We are fans and not haters. That said, it really bothers me that you do not have recycling garbage/waste bins at the restaurants. Here in northern California, waste collection has three bins, one for recyclables, one for compost (food waste) and the last for garbage. At the NorCal McDs there are just garbage bins and not one for recycling. Forget composting, but since your packaging is all paper or plastic it is ALL recyclable. It just kills me to throw it away in the garbage for this recycling materials to go to landfills. Then I think of all the McDs worldwide doing this. You guys have strong corporate responsibility and you should be a leader in this too. And while it may be hard at the start, the San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park have all three bins (Recycle, Compost and Garbage) so if they can do it, you guys can do it too. Maybe you can start with your franchisees in NorCal and then expand it worldwide? Your thoughts?
If McDonald's prides it self on being a family oriented restaurant, why is it open every major holiday in my area including Christmas? Your employees have family's that I'm sure they would rather spend time with too.
My question is why is plastic put in the food that customers buy and consume? That is disgusting. We do not pay good money to eat silicon, we pay good money to receive a superior product in a short amout of time along side superior service as advertised. Plastic is there no where. Please start selling real food, or please go out of business.
To Jen,
Can you please expand on your comment about plastic in the food? Are you speaking about a hoax or rumor you recently heard? You can learn about our food such as grade-A, 100% beef for our burgers, all white-meat chicken in our McNuggets & grilled chicken sandwiches, fruits & vegetables, whole grains, etc. http://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en/food/food_quality/s
We are happy to discuss more if you have a specific question about our food.
Thank you.
Hi Tracy,
Please note that hours of operations for our restaurants are up to the discretion of the franchisee for franchised restaurants (more than 80% of all McDonald's restaurants) & the regional team for company-owned restaurants (approx. 20% of all McDonald's restaurants).
Thank you.
Hi Debbini,
Thanks for your comment. We have a strong history of advancing sustainable supply chain policies and practices in a number of areas. Our Sustainable land Management Commitment, for example, outlines our commitment to sourcing all of our food and packaging from sustainable sources, with an initial focus on beef, poultry, coffee, palm oil, fish and fiber. With regards to coffee, we currently serve Rainforest Alliance certified coffee across Europe, New Zealand and Australia and we are exploring coffee-related initiatives in other markets such as the U.S.
Thank you.
Hi Larry,
Thanks for your comments. One of the biggest challenges to recycling for McDonald's, and the food industry as a whole, is that food packaging is not widely accepted by recyclers. As a result, the majority of our recycling currently happens behind the front counter, and that's where we see the greatest opportunity for continued improvement.
That said, we are always looking for ways to advance further progress in this area. One of the ways we do this is by sharing best practices across our System. A number of our restaurants in Europe and Latin America have made progress in this area and some have achieved zero waste. Moving forward, we will continue to try and leverage these learnings and work to scale programs that work where it's feasible and appropriate.
Thank you.
To HDCar,
Thanks for your comments. We continue to explore new menu options that provide a wide range of choices for our consumers. For example, we just introduced two new breakfast options in the U.S. – a yogurt and blueberry crunch and a blueberry and banana oatmeal.
Regarding the drive-thru, it's our goal to move our customers through as quickly as possible, while maintaining accuracy, and we're always looking for ways to make this process more efficient.

Celiac Disease's Toll on Your Teeth
After Michelle B. was diagnosed with celiac disease in early 2009, she made sure to tuck all nine of her extracted teeth into her handbag when she was referred to the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University in New York. She wondered if the dental problems with which she had been plagued since her early twenties – repeated cavities, root canals, infections and extractions – could possibly have something to do with celiac disease.
"I kept all my teeth because I just knew something wasn't right," explains the 37-year-old resident of Maplewood, New Jersey.
The clinic examined them and found they all had abnormalities associated with celiac disease, like enamel defects, structural defects and calcium deficiency.
"I knew something bigger was wrong than just my teeth, but I was still shocked by the link."
Celiac disease and teeth? Really? If that's news to you, you're not alone – it's quite possible that your doctor, dentist and hygienist have never heard of that link either. Among celiac disease's curious mix of symptoms, oral health problems have only recently been shown to be one of them.
The first American study that looked at a connection between celiac disease, dental enamel defects and canker sores was published in The Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology in 2009. Meantime, the very first clinical guidelines for dentists that outlined celiac disease and dental problems was published in 2011, in the Journal of the Canadian Dental Association.
It's hard to pin down the number of celiac patients affected by oral health issues – the studies have been generally been small – but the 2009 study found that dental enamel defects were found in 87 percent of the children with diagnosed celiac disease compared to 33 percent of non-celiac kids, and that 42 percent of celiac patients, both adults and kids, had frequent bouts of canker sores, versus 22 percent of the non-celiac patients.
Why is it happening?
Just why celiac disease can do a number on your teeth and mouth is, like so much else associated with the frustrating condition, far from clear. "We don't know what the exact mechanism is, but there are two theories," says Dr. Peter Green, a gastroenterologist and director of the Celiac Disease Center, who co-authored the 2009 study.
First, because celiac disease means that the body has trouble absorbing key nutrients, including vitamin D and calcium, that could translate to poor tooth enamel formation in childhood.
Next: Antibody Theory

I first experienced Chloe 7 years ago when the woman on the bus seated next to me was wearing Chloe. It was such a nice scent. I finally received Chloe as a gift and I am in Heaven! After all these years the memory returns and that combination of flowers, fresh and uplifting makes me know that I too will be a memory in someone mind because of Chloe's powerful effect. Not too overpowering...just subtle and makes you inhale and smile.

Tried and true. It was the favorite of a young lover who purchased the body lotion for me some 30 plus years ago. Last year, he lost his life as a result of Lou Gehrig's disease; and me being the sentimentalist that I am, rediscovered the fragrance. It was a beautiful dalliance; and Chloe is very representative of that relationship. Hmmmmmmmm.

Wearing perfume is always part of my daily routine. But, sometimes, I don't need to wear my favorite "dress up " fragrances...Jessica McClintock # 3 or CHLOE (new) because I just want to smell good. Original CHLOE is the most powerful perfume I own. It is fresh & clean & lasts super-long. After allowing dry down time; it's a perfect go-to fragrance to wear so I feel great ---even on an ordinary day. There is a reason that this perfume has remained in production since 1975! You can always depend on CHLOE.

Probably belongs in the armory section.
hello fellow tanks
im pretty new to tanking, juz started when WoTLK came up and honestly had no idea about tanking in general. (was a warlock during bc)And currently im the MT of our guild. Maybe you guys can help me in teaching some points regarding gearing myself for ulduar( current set-up The World of Warcraft Armory ). 1st of all, i tried reading a couple of websites and blogs regarding tanking gears, but i havent really gotten anything regarding armor. how does armor weight compared to raw stamina eg. monarch crab vs the 850 armor dodge trinket. another issue would be, is it really better to enchant my weapon with mongoose rahter than accuracy? with my current hit rating, i feel accuracy would be more beneficial. i would really appriciate assistance regarding my gears and advice on how to gear myself when ulduar comes. i understand tanks need a couple of sets too, stam set and a threat set, but thankfully threat isnt an issue for me so i want to have a well rounded gear set-up. thanks.
Probably belongs in the armory section.
READ THIS: Posting & Chat Rules
Well, your stamina is impressive, I'll say that, and your threat stats are good too. If I was going to change anything, I'd drop some stamina for avoidance, as you could probably gain 3 or 4% with some different gear selections/gems.
Playing a warrior tank well is its own reward.
so should i gem for it? or replace my trinkets with avoidance?
Trinkets would suffice I think. Got a repelling charge or Valor Medal?
Playing a warrior tank well is its own reward.
yes i have all the trinkets in the game for tanking.
Pop in the Repelling charge and try er' out
Playing a warrior tank well is its own reward.
Imo your gear is really good. Only things I would do are get Tuskerrs to boots especially since you're a MT. You can easily afford to lose 7 stam in exchange for a speed increase.
Also I see you're using Ruthlessness as one of your rings. Replace that with a Sandborn and you'll probably get an extra 1% (maybe more) of avoidance. After that you can afford to replace acouple of those 24 stams for +8 expertise/12 stams to make up for the expertise on Ruthlessness.
My Armory ---> http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...&n=Mackmustard
hmm. i dont see any boss yet that requires me to use Tuskerrs on my boots. regarding the ring, i have the other 1 but i feel that the exp gain is btr than the dodge it gives. hmm..
So the way to think about avoiadance vs mitigation is as a reverse percentage (how far away from 100% am I now and what percentage will inbound damage be reduced by closing that by x%). Both suffer from a level of diminishing returns before the final value is produced (how many dodge rating produces 1% dodge changes as the total value for dodge grows) so there's no easy way to make a definitive statement of stacking a particular RATING value on avoidance vs mitigation. Having said that, percentage for percentage of delivered value, avoidance is better than mitigation and the amount better scales to inbound damage (the more inbound damage, the better avoidance is).
So some examples:
- You have 61% reduction in damage from armor. Increasing that 1% will reduce inbound damage by around 2.5% (1/39th). I'm rounding to make it easier to follow.
- Your avoidance is around 50% (i'm estimating your miss at around 10%) so each 1% of avoidance will reduce inbound damage by 2%
So 'wow this means that scaling armor is better than scaling avoidance', right? Depends on where you are in the cycle. Check the invidual pieces and see what moves the total more. 1% of armor at your gear level buys you more than 1% avoidance, but the avoidance is likely a cheaper stat to stack in terms of ilevel.
Now why did i start with that when your question was about stamina vs avoidance. Mostly because you asked about a mitigation trinket rather than an avoidance one and want to make sure that you could compare avoidance/migitation vs stam rather than just one or the other.
Basically the stamina equation is as long as you have 'enough' stamina to handle the inevitable spike damage, then avoidance is the thing to stack. Enough is a matter for personal preference, but for warriors/pallys seems to be somewhere in the 29/30k range unbuffed right now. Progression tanking will tend to favor a slightly more stam heavy approach.
That's a long way of saying, you are safe in the general case of sacrificing stam for some avoidance (gem or base item stats) but keep your higher stam gear around for specific fights.
thanks. guess i have to re-do my gears so its more balanced. il do abit of math lol

BARRINGTON — There's a raging blizzard as I write this, hoping that the power doesn't go out, as so often happens. But it's snug inside the house: the woodstove's in full song, and the coffee's hot. However, I fear for the little birds that seem dependent on my keeping the feeders filled and snow-free. Of course, they probably are more adept at enduring snowstorms than I or most modern humans would be—imagine trying to survive by our wits, outside in these conditions. For some reason I often think about the Native Americans who once lived on these lands: they knew how to cope with winter.
There are others. The Black-backed Woodpecker is found in the northern part of the state, and a few Three-toeds. The Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is another summer bird; one is more apt to see evidence of its presence—a series of tiny holes in a tree trunk—than the secretive bird itself. And occasionally one sees a report of a Red-headed Woodpecker. Only two nests were listed in the Atlas, which is a little surprising since Red-heads are opportunistic feeders, consuming a variety of edibles. I have seen only two in N.H., one at White Lake State Park, the other on a cornstalk in my Madbury garden. They are more common in the mid-West, having made a comeback from the days when they were shot for excavating nesting holes in telephone poles.

The death of Jesus sparked birth of a religion, but little is known about the woman who gave him life and witnessed his crucifixion. Who was Mary? What happened to her after Jesus died? In the two millennia following her death, thousands have reported experiencing supernatural phenomena known as Marian apparitions--visits from Mary. Some say Mary reveals secrets and prophecies of global consequence. Additionally, signs and wonders confirming an apparition are said to occur. But can the seers' claims be authenticated? This feature-length special includes dramatic recreations of apparitions; archival footage and photos of historic apparitions; and interviews with religious and secular scholars and visionaries.

Is your site running too slow? Does it go down all the time? One of the biggest mistakes that any small business makes is that they choose the wrong web hosting company.
The main reason for this is that too many companies make their decisions on what web host to use based on price.
But like the saying goes: "You get what you pay for".
While the up-front cost for a cheap web hosting plan might seem appealing, you will actually end up paying more in the future due to lost business and lost time.
And you might pull your hair out with frustration.
Avoid Shared Hosting
The first thing I would do when looking for a good web host is to avoid any shared web hosting plans. These are the web hosting plans that are promoted the most on the web. They seem cheap from the look of things, and you can find plans for less than $5 a month.
The reason why they are so popular with web hosting companies is that they can pack a lot of users on a single server. That means everyone on that server has to share memory, CPU, and disk space resources with everyone else. The more customers that they can pack on a single server, the more money that web hosting company can make.
So what happens when you have a site that's hogging up all the resources on that server? It slows that server down to a crawl, or even worse, brings the server down.
That's why if you are a serious company, you should never put your site up on a shared hosting server.
Avoid the Hype
There are a lot of web hosting companies that get hyped up for artificial reasons. The most common of these reasons is because of the affiliate commissions they offer their affiliates. Some companies offer such high commissions that affiliates will promote these web hosts no matter whether they are good or not. So you really need to be on the watch for this.
One example of this is WP Engine. They offer WordPress Hosting and you see a lot of sites dedicated to promoting this web host. But as you can read from this WP Engine review post by Matthew Woodward, some web hosts are not as good as they are hyped up to be.
Go With a Virtual Private Server (VPS)
At a minimum, your business should run on a VPS. It's more affordable then a dedicated server, but much more reliable then a shared hosting plan.
With a VPS, you're basically running a virtual machine on a single server. A single physical server can host multiple virtual servers. But unlike shared hosting, every VPS is isolated from the rest.
As a customer, you have complete control over your VPS in terms of what operating system you are running and what software you can install on it.
One choice you need to make when picking a VPS is whether to go with a Managed or Unmanaged VPS. With a Managed VPS, your web host will install everything you need for your VPS for you. This includes the OS and any control panel (like cPanel) you might want to use. They will also apply any security fixes and patches when necessary.
With an Unmanaged VPS, you will have to do all this yourself. While Unmanaged VPS are usually cheaper, I would go for a Managed VPS unless you are extremely technically savvy.
Which VPS To Go With
So now that I've convinced you that a VPS is a way to go, which VPS should you go with? Our current favorite VPS is WiredTree. They offer some excellent VPS packages for an affordable price and their uptime is excellent.
What makes WiredTree stand out is their awesome technical support. You will get a response from them in under 10 minutes and they use highly qualified (non-outsourced) technicians.
But whatever web host you end up going with, make sure you don't make the decision lightly. Choosing a good web host is one of the most important decisions you are going to make for your company, so make it a good one.

The technology has been totally overhauled thanks to everyone's paranoia with limited writes. A quality SSD can compete with mid-ranged HDDs for lifespan.
*However*. Configuring an SSD and the computer to use an SSD is a non-trivial task. This is absolutely not something for an everyday consumer. The wrong SSD will perform worse than a HDD and requites heavy lifting to get it to work well. The right SSD will perform very well, but could still use lots of tweaking to get to work even better. It's because of the time and skill required that I wouldn't recommend an SSD to most people. However, an SSD has been fundamentally game-changing for me with running WoW, and it would be an absolute improvement over using an HDD when doing recording.

Lance Armstrong, the former professional cyclist who was recently stripped of his seven Tour de France titles, has told his associates that he is weighing his options for making a public acknowledgment that he had doped during his cycling career, according to a person familiar with the matter.

His possible confession, if he goes forth with one, could enable Mr. Armstrong to begin the process of restoring his public reputation, which has been badly damaged in recent months.
Last year, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency stripped Mr. Armstrong of his seven titles and any other honors he received between his comeback from life-threatening cancer in 1998 and his retirement from top-level competitive cycling in 2010.

In recent months, Mr. Armstrong has been spending time with his family in Hawaii, weighing his options.
Those options include going on television, writing a book or making a public statement of some sort in the near future about his own alleged use of performance enhancing drugs. It's also possible Mr. Armstrong might choose not to make a public statement.
Tim Herman, a lawyer for Mr. Armstrong, said that discussions with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency "aren't currently on the table," and added that "there has been no discussion" with the World Anti Doping Agency.
Officials at the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency didn't respond to requests for comment.
A confession by Mr. Armstrong would complicate several legal matters related to his alleged doping. Those include a whistleblower lawsuit filed by his former teammate, Floyd Landis, in 2010.
According to people familiar with the matter, the lawsuit alleges that Mr. Armstrong and other people associated with his former cycling team knowingly violated their sponsorship agreement with the United States Postal Service when they allegedly instituted an organized doping program on the team. The Postal Service was Mr. Armstrong's team sponsor during six of his seven Tour de France victories.
Under the contract with the team, riders were prohibited from using performance-enhancing drugs.
Further complicating matters is the fact that Mr. Armstrong denied doping for so long, and publicly attacked those who accused him over the years.
Corrections & Amplifications
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency stripped cyclist Lance Armstrong of his seven titles and any other honors last year. Some versions of this article incorrectly said the action was taken earlier this year.

There were top ten times in Saturday's qualifying in Monte Carlo for Kevin Magnussen and Sergio Perez while Nico Hulkenberg just missed out...
Kevin Magnussen: "I'm not completely happy to be starting eighth, but we pretty much got the best out of what we had; maybe seventh would have been possible - at a push. It's always a challenge to hook up the perfect lap around here - and it never really feel like you succeed. This is a street circuit, and it's bumpy, with barriers and walls right at the apex, so you make little mistakes and corrections, and always feel like you could have got a little closer to the barriers. Nonetheless, the car felt really good - it's just frustrating when you see the laptimes, because it feels like we should be higher up. We can be reasonably happy with today. Tomorrow, we need a good launch, a good first lap, and to stay out of trouble - then maybe we can score some solid points."
Jenson Button: "On the first lap of my final run in Q2, I came across one of the Toro Rossos at the Swimming Pool. I don't think he initially saw me, then he tried to back out of the corner, but there wasn't enough room for two cars into the second part of that particular part of the circuit. It's a pity; the pace was there in Q1, but I didn't get a lap together in Q2. No excuses. The race will be tough starting from 12th position - the tyres last so long around here, so it could end up being quite processional. Maybe somebody will be brave and try some moves and make the race a bit of fun. Let's see if that upsets the order. I'm not hoping for rain on Sunday; no driver likes the wet around here, especially with these tyres - you can't get enough temperature into them. For everybody's sake, I think it'll be better if it's dry tomorrow. It's going to be a tough race for me, but I'll see what I can do."
Force India:
Sergio Perez: "Although it's good to be in the top ten, I'm feeling a bit disappointed not to be higher up the grid. My hot lap in Q3 was quite difficult and I had a lock-up going into the Nouvelle Chicane - so there was definitely more speed in the car. One of the main challenges was getting the tyres in the perfect working condition and I don't think we maximised that today. We need to look at ways to make up positions tomorrow and we should be aggressive with our strategy because I don't think there will be too many overtaking opportunities. Hopefully it will be an interesting race."
Nico Hulkenberg: "A place in Q3 was very close today - less than a tenth away - but I'm not feeling too disappointed because I was pretty happy with my lap in Q2. There was just a tiny bit missing because it's very hard to get a perfect lap in Monaco. The traffic management by the team was good and although I had some traffic in both Q1 and Q2, it was not at the crucial moments. Starting from P11 with an extra set of fresh tyres gives us a good chance of scoring points tomorrow. It's a long race and we have to be ready to react quickly with the strategy to try and gain some positions. We also expect more cloud cover tomorrow and there is even a chance of rain."
Valtteri Bottas: "As a team this wasn't the optimum result. The issue we had was the getting heat into the front tyres. The car felt ok, but I didn't have the grip that I wanted. We have some work to do to try and get this sorted for tomorrow. I am still optimistic of some points though as they are only a few places away and anything can happen in Monaco."
Felipe Massa: "I did everything I could in the first session but at the end Ericsson hit me and that ruined my qualifying. I was hopeful for a good position today as the car actually felt ok; it would have been a fight to get into the top ten, not easy, but possible. I am disappointed and tomorrow is going to be a challenge but with this car points are still possible."
Lotus F1:
Romain Grosjean: "Unfortunately we were not fast enough. We were hoping that the warmer conditions might help a little bit today but it wasn't to be. It was a difficult qualifying session despite the car balance being okay but I think that the car is struggling a bit in slow corners, which is something that we were concerned might be the case. We will have to work on this to make it better as the E22's much better in the high speed areas. It is very difficult to predict what will happen in races here, but we will always fight to the end."
Pastor Maldonado: "After the positive test we had in Barcelona we were hoping for a better result today. However this track hasn't suited us so far this weekend. We struggled to get sufficient temperature in the tyres which seem to be a very hard compound for Monaco. I also suffered a lot from the traffic which didn't help with tyre temperature or getting a fast lap. It's a long race tomorrow so we'll try to be clean in the first couple of laps, try to have a good strategy and we will see what we can do and deliver as best we can."

Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of the Gershon Iskowitz Foundation
G-95-123 ab
Painting, Canadian Modern (1910-1979)
Gershon Iskowitz studied art in Poland and Germany before World War II, including private study under Oskar Kokoschka. A survivor of the Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps, he settled in Toronto after the war, becoming part of a wave of European immigrant artists that added to the sophistication of contemporary art appreciation in Canada. At the same time, Iskowitz developed a love for his new country's landscape painting tradition, particularly the work of Tom Thomson. However, his approach to landscape was unique. In 1967 Iskowitz travelled by helicopter over Churchill, Manitoba. He was captivated by the visually dynamic patterned exchange between the low-lying clouds and the submerged variegated landscape. He developed a cloud-and-earth motif that he used in compositions that became increasingly abstract throughout the 1970s and 1980s.

3/07 & 3/08 in Yankee History
On the 7th of March over the years…
1998: The Yankees sign Orlando 'El Duque' Hernandez to a 4-year' $6.6 million contract.
1981: Pee-Wee Wanninger, starting shortstop for the 1925 Yankees, dies at the age of 78. Lou Gehrig began his streak of 2,130 consecutive games with a pinch-hitting appearance for Wanninger on June 1, 1925.
1942: The Yankees open the exhibition season by beating the Cardinals 3-2' with Tommy Henrich driving in all the New York runs.
…and on the 8th…
1999: Joe DiMaggio dies at the age of 84 following a long illness.
1966: Casey Stengel is elected to the Hall of Fame by the Veterans' Committee, who waive the normal 5-year waiting period, Stengel having retired only the previous year from managing the New York Mets.
1947: In an exhibition game at Havana's new Stadium del Cerro' the Dodgers' behind three pitchers' beat the Yankees in 10 innings 1-0. Carl Furillo scores on Pete Reiser's double' and a single by George 'Snuffy' Stirnweiss in the 10th is the only Yankee hit. On hand to watch is Connie
Zimmerman' an associate of mobster Lucky Luciano' and racing
handicapper Memphis Engelberg. As SABR historian Burt Solomon writes' Durocher points
out the men to sports writers Dick Young and Milt Gross' saying' "Look
at that. If I had those guys in my box' I'd be kicked out of baseball.
Are there two sets of rules? One applying to managers and one applying
to club owners?" When asked if the two men are his guests' Yankee GM
Larry MacPhail snaps' "What are you, the goddam FBI?" MacPhail calls
Durocher a liar' and in a bizarre turn' later files charges against the
manager with the commissioner's office.
1939; '60s Yankee ace Jim Bouton is born. Happy birthday to Mr. 'Ball Four'!
1930: Babe Ruth signs a 2-year contract for $160'000 with New York. At $80'000 per
year' he is the highest paid player in Major League history to date. When it is pointed out
he is earning more money than the President of the United States' Ruth
observes: "I had a better year than he did." Ed Barrow' Yankee GM'
assures posterity' "No one will ever be paid more than Ruth."
Also on this day, Bob grim is born. Grim was AL Rookie of the Year in 1954, when he became only the second freshman Yankee pitcher to win 20 game.
1918: The Yankees buy first baseman George Burns' 37' from Detroit' then swap him to the A's for another veteran, Ping Bodie. Burns will replace Stuffy McInnis, the last of the Connie Mack's '$100'000 infield'' who went to the Red Sox in January.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

I was thinking he was referring to Iranians being detained in the US.

Iranian intel ministry
My source IR1 - an Iranian-American businessman - claims he was behind
the entire fiasco over the MOIS chief and it was this email from last
March which he deliberately sent to A's top aide that triggered the
power struggle. IR1 was working with Mashaie at the behest of the bureau
on the Levinson case and was also being used as a conduit by USG for the
hotline thing. But Mashaie and A tried to use the opportunity to
establish their own channel to the U.S. and didn't tell the SL. This was
not acceptable to the source as he supports the SL. So he decided to
expose A & M and sent the email to M knowing that MOIS would pick it up.
I have omitted the name of the source from the email header and
signature. I have known him for many years and he has not once given me
bs so I have no reason to doubt him. At the same time I have no way of
verifying this claim.

Dear Mr. Mashaei,
I hope you are doing well.
It seems that someone took my advice and provided a proof of life to the
US Government regarding Mr. Levinson. I never got a chance last
September to tell you the entire plan. It was my vision that raised the
interest of the American officials. I envisioned a three-step deal as
1. Israel would release all Iranian detainees, in exchange for
President Obama pardoning Jonathan Jay Pollard, the Israeli Spy.
2. US would release all Iranian detainees.
3. In exchange of step 1 and 2, Iran would help secure the release
of all American detainees.
This will allow the US President to gain the support of Israeli Lobby in
time for the next US Presidential election. The Israeli Lobby has been
pushing for his release for many years now. This way president Obama
would have a good justification (the release of the American detainees)
for pardoning Mr. Pollard.
On the other hand, Iran would finally be able to free its diplomats (God
willing, they are still alive) and any other Iranian detainees
languishing in Israeli or American prisons.
My Plan had many other parts regarding other US-Iran related issues.
unfortunately I can't discuss the other parts of the plan over an email.
If you are interested to know the rest of it, ask Ambassador Khazaei's
office to issue an invitation for me and pay for my travel expenses.
Then I will come to New York and tell you the rest. Otherwise I wish you
and your team the best of luck.
