Dear Colleague,
You are cordially invited to participate in the twenty-fourth annual Liberty University Debate Tournament on November 4-6, 2011. Our goal is to host a competently managed tournament with exceptional hospitality while offering strong competition in all three divisions of debate.
This year's tournament will feature six preliminary rounds and an appropriate number of elimination rounds of debate in three divisions. You can manage your tournament entries through debateresults.com until November 2. Drops after that date are subject to the participant fee.
This year we are moving back to our main campus, which should significantly decrease walking distance between rooms and divisions. However, due to other campus events classroom space will still be limited so please enter early. We are working to secure more rooms, but there is no guarantee we will be able to accommodate more than 86 teams.
Fees are $40.00 per person (debater, coach, judge, or observer). The tournament will provide every meal from Friday night through Sunday lunch, including breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings. We hope that this will provide a friendlier tournament schedule and enable you to bring more teams or attend our tournament for the first time. Additionally, schools that can't afford entry fees or hotel rooms are welcomed. We will gladly waive your entry fees and do everything we can to help you find housing.
We are pleased to be offering a tournament that is sanctioned by the ADA and CEDA. Early November is a beautiful time in central Virginia and we look forward to seeing you at this year's tournament. If you have any questions, please call (434) 582-2080.
We hope to see you at Liberty University.
Michael Hall, Nick Ryan, John Nagy, Heather Hall, Matt Struth, Cole Bender
Liberty University Debate Tournament

Liberty University, Lynchburg, Virginia
Topic: Resolved: The United States Federal Government should substantially increase its democracy assistance
for one or more of the following: Bahrain, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Tunisia, Yemen.
Sanctioning: The tournament will be sanctioned by the ADA and CEDA and will be run in accordance with their
rules. The most recent copy of the ADA rules can be found at www.liberty.edu/debate.
Preliminary rounds: There will be six preliminary rounds. Rounds one and two will be pre-set. Rounds three
through six will be power matched. Three divisions of debate will be offered: novice, junior varsity, and varsity.
Elimination rounds: An appropriate number of elimination rounds will be offered in accordance with the ADA
rules and based on the size of the tournament. We anticipate breaking to octo-finals in each division with the
possibility of double-octos if justified by entries.
Eligibility: Eligibility for participation in each division is governed by the ADA rules.
Hybrids: Hybrid teams may participate in preliminary rounds and are eligible for speaker awards, but will not be
eligible to participate in elimination rounds.
Mavericks: Maverick debaters are ineligible to enter prior to the tournament. If one of the debaters of a team
cannot debate in any given round, that round will be forfeited. Teams that forfeit rounds will be given
average speaker points, but are ineligible to clear to elimination rounds if speaker points are the determining
factor for their clearing. Debaters who forfeit rounds are ineligible for speaker awards.
Deadline: Please enter the tournament by November 2, 2011 using debateresults.com. After that date e-mail
entry changes directly to Nick Ryan (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Drops: Teams dropped after the November 2 deadline will be responsible for all participant fees.
Tournament Registration: Registration will be held on the first floor of the DeMoss Hall on Friday afternoon
from 2:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. If you are running late, please call Nick Ryan (540-604-0143) to verify your entry.
Also, please update the contact information for all of your coaches and judges on debate results.
Commitment: Each school must provide 3 rounds of qualified judging for each team entered in the tournament.
All judges will be required to judge through the quarter final elimination round or one round after your last team
is eliminated whichever occurs later.
Hired Judging: A limited number of judges will be available for hire at $30 per round ($120.00 per uncovered
team, which includes 3 prelims and 1 elim). If you need to hire judges, please enter early.
Judge Placement: Judges will be placed using mutual preference in all divisions.
Speaker Points: We will use a 30 point scale with .1 increments. No ties are allowed.
Decision Time: Judges are expected to render a decision within 2:30 of the announced start time. If the judge is
unable to make a decision within that time, the tab room will randomly decide a winner by coin flip.
Awards: Awards will be provided to the top sixteen teams and the top ten speakers in each division.
Fees: Entry fees are $40 per participant (debater, coach, judge, or observer). Make checks payable to Liberty University Debate. Fees include all meals starting with dinner on Friday, a well-stocked hospitality room, and the awards reception on Saturday. Additional reception tickets may be purchased for $15 per person (for persons only attending the reception).
Hotel Accommodations: We have two tournament hotel options. The Holiday Inn (434-528-2500) is located on 601 Main Street off of Interstate 29. They are providing a flat rate of $70.00 per night for up to four people per room.
The Days Inn (434-847-8655) is offering a rate of $64.95 and located on Candler's Mountain road, only a couple of minutes from the campus. The Days Inn is in the process of renovating their rooms and some rooms still have old bedspreads and well-used furniture. They have assured us that they will try to place our block in newly renovated rooms, but I still recommend requesting renovated rooms.
When you book at either hotel, make sure you request rooms in the "Liberty University Debate Tournament" block. Reservations should be made by October 21 to guarantee the tournament rate.
We will be providing a continental breakfast at the tournament as there will not be breakfast provided at either hotel.
Transportation Assistance: If you are flying to the tournament, you should make reservations for Lynchburg Regional Airport. Rental cars and vans are available. For those of you requesting transportation assistance, please email Bessie Grayson (email@example.com) your travel details by October 18.

Major roads through Lynchburg going North and South include Interstate 29 and State Highway 501. Divided Highway 460 serves Lynchburg from the East and West. Signs mark campus exits on both Interstate 29 and 460.
To the Holiday Inn Downtown: Follow Highway 29 to the Main Street Downtown Exit. Holiday Inn will be on the left side of the 600 block of Main Street.
To the Days Inn: Follow Highway 29 to the Candler's Mountain Rd/VA 128E/US 501S exit. Merge quickly to the left and take a left at the first stoplight.

July 30 - The National Association of Wheat Growers and more than 20 other ag organizations wrote Rep. Rodney Davis, R-Ill., recently, voicing support for his legislation that would require the United States Department of Agriculture review of Environmental Protection Agency proposals affecting agriculture, according to the NAWG's weekly e-newsletter.
The bill, H.R. 2776, would establish a formal review panel and ask USDA to conduct economic impact statements on EPA proposals including by seeking farmer and ag industry input. Citing examples related to the treatment of milk spills, release of farm operation information to the public and the ongoing debate about the definition of waters of the United States, the groups wrote that it is quite clear the EPA does not fully understand the impact these types of policies have on the nations agricultural industry. The full letter is available online at www.wheatworld.org/environmentalregulation.

Nice kitchen...right?
This Chevy Chase, Maryland kitchen belongs to a former White House social secretary, Amy Zantzinger, and her family. She wanted to create a good looking space that was also extremely functional.
The centerpiece - is a counter height dark stained oak table for the family to eat meals around and for her kids to do home work.
Loving the serene grey cabinets, the concealed appliances, the cabinet pocket doors, the marble countertops and yes the wrap around french paned windows! Nice.
Classic but not old and fuddy duddy...fresh and inviting. That's the perfect recipe for a kitchen in my view.
What do you think of this eat-in kitchen? Too traditional? Just right? What elements might you incorporate into your dream kitchen?
Happy Monday!

I love this kitchen for its practicality, as well as it's clean lines. I do think that oriental runners along with roman shades on the windows would complete the room.ReplyDelete
So lovely! The mix of styles is wonderful. I'd love to cook and entertain in this kitchen.ReplyDelete
Definitely a beautiful kitchen - I love the double fridge - makes a lot of sense to me!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous! I love the windows. I agree with Interiorspace that it just needs some pattern and/or splashes of color going on to make it perfect. I'd also like to see more industrial chairs to counter the very traditional everything else.ReplyDelete
such a bright and fresh space! the windows are to die for <3ReplyDelete
LOVE this kitchen.....and I'm crazy about marble countertops..... I understand they stain very easily, however, and that's holding me back.ReplyDelete
Warm blessings,
Amazing amazing kitchen. Love it !!ReplyDelete
Just right for me! I love all of the windows!! I also adore a white kitchen. :) I'm ready to move right in. :)ReplyDelete
Lovely, light and lots of countertops. Looks like it fits in nicely with the traditional look of the home. Of course the appliances are to die for! When can I move in?ReplyDelete
Lovely, lots of light and countertops. Blends in well with the traditional style of the home. Of course the appliances are to die for! When can I move in?ReplyDelete
I do think it looks good and the windows are fantastic.ReplyDelete
I just don't think it would function that well to have the table in chairs right in the middle as you are trying to prepare a meal. The distance from the fridge to the sink looks a little strung out also.
I still favor a seating area near the kitchen or an island with seating on one side to keep people out of the working area of a kitchen.
Traditional, but I love it. It is so warm and welcoming. Mimi xxReplyDelete
Perfect, absolutely perfect! NicolexReplyDelete
wow! those windows!! i love the idea of not having top cabinets but normally, i realize it's not the best use of space. *not in this place!!* it looks like she has storage galore. covet the kitchen...and covet the job, too!ReplyDelete
Beautiful, especially the windows! Not a fan of the table, would prefer an island in wood! I like things to stay put and not feel I would run into a stray chair.ReplyDelete
Classy and elegant while also warm and family-friendly. A fabulous kitchen. I wouldn't change a thing.ReplyDelete
Kitchen envy!! I love the idea of having the table in the middle of the kitchen. I can picture decorating cookies with the family and morning breakfast. The kitchen is where the heart is.ReplyDelete
Do you know what the paint color is? ThanksReplyDelete
Carrera marble....always the right choice - and now so affordable...Love this post.ReplyDelete
I love the color of the cabinets. Very pretty alternative to just plain white. Have to agree that if there was some pattern it would really feel lively. Maybe on the windows? But then it would block that beautiful open feeling. Really pretty, though. Wish the floors were a tad bit darker.ReplyDelete
I love the built-in fridge and the cabinet pocket doors. I would love to open up doors to a little nook for my coffee maker and coffee mugs..so perfect!ReplyDelete
I love this kitchen too. Really inspires me. The windows would make long cooking projects a joy. I just wonder what kind of modular refrigeration system that is. I'd love to know!ReplyDelete
This kind of classic, American kitchen never seems to date. Even in a very modern interior, I always think there's something slightly suspicious about a very trendy kitchen...ReplyDelete
I would love to replace all of my top cabinets with windows.....but since I can't do that (as most of us cannot), I'm considering replacing all of the doors with glass doors. I think it will really open the look up like in this fabulous kitchen. Thanks for this great post!ReplyDelete
the combination of the different wood tones is perfect.....the cabinets, flooring, table, and chairs all contribute varying rich tones to pull the kitchen together!ReplyDelete
This is my kind of kitchen! I've always loved a table in the middle of the kitchen--so old fashioned! Very family friendly!ReplyDelete
I absolutely love this space!ReplyDelete
The wood floors add a lot of warmth. Beautiful! http://thekeytofinedesign.blogspot.com/ReplyDelete
The wood floors add warmth. Beautiful! http://thekeytofinedesign.blogspot.com/ReplyDelete
Light and airy at the same time being very warm and inviting. I like the dark island and floors for contrast. This kitchen seems timeless to me-beautiful!ReplyDelete
wonderful kitchen, maybe i would add a thing or two, not sure exactly what but to make it a bit more cozy, but all in all it's wonderfulReplyDelete

Westport Place Health Campus features homelike amenities
Students at Walden School are finding that this school year includes an intriguing intergenerational opportunity: The newly opened Westport Place Health Campus, the "senior living alternative" across the street (4247 Westport Road), is inviting pupils to participate in activities with the men and women who live there.
"We see Walden School as a partner," said Suzanne Rinne, Westport Place's executive director. "Our activity director will work with their staff to bring the students here. There might be musical or dramatic performances, or they might join our residents in art projects. The students can gain a greater understanding of the importance of treating people with dignity and respect. They'll see that our residents are still individuals who are vital to our community and our city."
Walden's athletic fields are on the western edge of the health campus. Residents look forward to "the happy sounds of children," Rinne said. "Some have already told us, 'I want to be on the side where I can see them playing.' "
Westport Place is the newest campus owned and operated by Trilogy Health Services, which is based in Louisville. Its 66 facilities are located throughout Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Kentucky. The Louisville area is also home to the Franciscan Health Care Center, Glen Ridge Health Campus and Park Terrace Health Campus.
The ground-breaking ceremony for this facility took place about a year ago. The site appealed to Trilogy primarily because the surrounding heavily populated area has experienced little growth in senior services, except for the recent expansion of the Masonic Home.
In mid-June, patients began moving in for short-term rehab, long-term care, skilled nursing, assisted living or memory care services. When full, the campus will house 89 residents.
Even when Walden students aren't adding their youthful energy to Westport Place activities, the residents have plenty of choices for healthful fun. A putting green and "LifeTrail" outdoor fitness station already are popular features of campus courtyards. Indoors, Wii games are available at the click of a button on large flat-panel television screens – bowling is the most popular Wii game, and Trilogy encourages leagues for patients and staff.
"Everything here focuses on the health and happiness of our residents, within a setting that's reminiscent of home," Rinne said. "Residential hallways have names such as Julep Trail, Derby Drive, Legacy Lane and Churchill Court. Staff wear polo shirts and khakis, not scrubs; and tucking a nurse's station off of a hallway, instead of making it the hub of multiple hallways, avoids the 'battleship' appearance that many facilities have."
The unseen foundation for the visible attractions of Westport Place, she added, is Trilogy's standards and philosophy of "servant leadership." Regularly scheduled feedback from patients and their families helps fine-tune services and goals, which are re-evaluated every six months.
"Exceeding expectations includes paying attention to detail. What name does a resident want to be called? When does he or she want to get up or take a shower?" she said. "Servant leadership means that the executive director is here to serve the staff; and they, in turn, are servant leaders to our residents. Westport Place may be new, but we're already walking the talk."

Product is just the thing for parties! Was very happy with this Glass Apothecary drink dispenser. Can use it year round...for any season. February 1, 2013
DO NOT ORDER THIS PRODUCT!!! As soon as I received this product, I opened the box noticed on the box it says to hand tighten the knob before using, which I did. I then began to fill it up with water and left it sitting for 10 minutes. There was water all over my counter!! IT LEAKS!! DOES NOT HOLD WATER!! What a waste of money!!! January 9, 2013

The current Hegarty page is here.
Here is the surname history for Hegarty from the Irish Ancestors site run by the Irish Times:
In Irish the surname is Ó hEigceartaigh, from eigceartach, meaning "unjust". The name appears to have arisen first in the area now divided between counties Derry and Donegal, where the Ó hEigceartaigh were a branch of the Cinel Eoghain, that large group of families claiming descent from Eoghan, one of the sons of Niall of the Nine Hostages, the fifth century monarch who supposedly kidnapped St. Patrick to Ireland. However, today the surname is much more common in Co. Cork, at the other end of the country. Traditionally, the Cork (O')Hegartys were claimed as a branch of the more historically prominent northern family, but ecertach was a common personal name in Munster, and it seems more likely that the surname arose separately there. At any rate, O'Hegartys are recorded in west Cork as early as the thirteenth century, and remain strongly associated with the area. ("Hegarty")
My Hegarty family emigrated from Cork to Cambridge, Massachusetts and lived there and in the neighboring town of Somerville. There are several Hegarty families in this area, but the others are, so far as I know, unrelated to me.
1st & 2nd generations: me and my father
3rd generation: my grandfather:
Michael John Hegarty was born on 11 March 1898 in Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. His parents were John James and Margaret Teresa (Deasy) Hegarty (MVR 1898). According to the 1920 and 1930 census, he worked at printing presses. His World War I-era draft card indicates that at least for some time he worked at the Murray Printing Company in Cambridge.In 1925 he married Agnes Murphy of Cambridge (1930 Census). They had seven children. They lived on Beacon Street in Somerville. Sometime after 1930 Michael started working in the boiler room at the General Electric plant in Cambridge, where his father had worked in a more technical position (Hegarty, J.). In 1947, they moved to Bartlett Street in Somerville. Michael died of cancer on 15 October 1970 in Somerville, Massachusetts. (MDI, SSDI) [1] He is buried at the Puritan Lawn cemetery in Peabody, Massachusetts (Puritan).
4th generation: my great-grandfather:
John James Hegarty was born on 15 December 1867 in Gillabbey Lane in Cork City, Ireland. [2] His parents were Michael and Ellen (Cronin) Hegarty. He was baptized in St. Finbar's Roman Catholic Church; his godparents were Thomas Murphy and Julia Cronin. Family lore had it that prior to emigrating John served in the British Army, and I have found a UK War Office record for a Pvt. J. Heggarty who served with the Royal Malta Artillery in the Sudan Campaign from 1884-1886. In April 1890 he emigrated to Boston, Massachusetts aboard the Cephalonia (Boston). On 24 April 1895, he married Margaret Teresa Deasy in Somerville, Massachusetts, probably at St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church (MVR 1895). From reading the censuses of the next 30 years, we see that the young family moved around quite a bit between rentals in Cambridge. John began working as a stoker but eventually became an engineer at Cambridge Electric. In 1930, he was still working as an engineer and had bought a multi-family house on North Beacon Street in the Brighton neighborhood of Boston. [3] John died on 20 June 1947 in Brighton, Massachusetts. (Hegarty, H.)
John had the following children (3rd generation):
- Helen Frances Hegarty b. 1896 Cambridge, MA, d. 1970 Brighton, MA. (1900 census, SSDI). She kept a family history notebook which was helpful to this current project.
- Honora Agnes Hegarty b. 1897 Cambridge, MA, m. 1922 John J. Cauley of MA, d. 1984 Beverly, MA (1900 census, 1920 census, SSDI, MDI)
- Michael John Hegarty, see above
- Theresa Helen Hegarty b. 1899 Cambridge, MA, m. 1923 William Williamson of England, d. 1995 Foxboro, MA (1900 census, 1930 census, MDI, SSDI)
- James Leo Hegarty b. 1901, d. 1952 Cambridge, MA (1910 census)
- Margaret Mary Hegarty b. 1902 Cambridge, MA, m. 1924 Charles Sjosdedt of MA, d. 1987 Somerville, MA (MDI, 1930 census)
- Joseph Thomas Hegarty b. 1904 Cambridge, MA, m. 1928 Anne McHugh, d. 2002 Wellesley, MA (1910 census, MDI, SSDI)
- William Lawrence Hegarty b. 1909 Cambridge, MA, m. 1934 Mary Christine Sullivan, d. 1980 Brighton, MA (1910 census, SSDI)
- Francis Augustine Hegarty b. 1916 Cambridge, MA, m. 1947 Edna Ritterbush of Boston, MA, d. 1995 Brockton, MA (MDI, SSDI, 1930 census, Find A Grave)
5th Generation
Michael Hegarty was born in Cork in November 1849. (St. Finbar's). His parents were Julia (Fitzgerald) and John Hegarty. Michael married Ellen Cronin on 28 July 1866 at Ss. Peter & Paul Roman Catholic Church in Cork City, Ireland. He worked as a laborer. (Ireland Marriages)
Michael had the following children (4th generation):
- John James Hegarty, see above.
- Julia Hegarty b. 1869 Cork City, Ireland, emig. 1890, m. 1894 in New York City to Thomas King of England (Ireland Births, 1900 census)
- Ellen Hegarty, b. 1871, Cork City, Ireland. (Ireland Births)
- Cornelius Hegarty b. 1873 Cork City, Ireland. (Ireland Births)
- Elizabeth Hegarty b. 1875 Cork City, Ireland, m. Michael Phipps of Cork City (St. Finbar's, Ireland Births, Census of Ireland 1901)
- Lena Hegarty b. 1875 Cork City, Ireland, emig. Massachusetts 1892, m1 Robert Foster of Massachusetts, div.; m2 1900 Frank Daniels of Massachusetts (1900 census, 1910 census) [4].
- Daniel Hegarty b. 1877 Cork City, Ireland (Ireland Births)
- Hanora Hegarty b. 1878 Cork City, Ireland (St. Finbar's, Ireland Births)
- Michael Hegarty b. 1880 Cork City, Ireland (St. Finbar's)
- Family papers name another six children for this marriage, all of whom are said to have died young. The names are Patrick Hegarty, Jeremiah Hegarty, Timothy Hegarty, Mary Kate Hegarty, Albina Hegarty, and Margaret Hegarty.
6th Generation
John Hegarty was born in Ireland, probably in Cork. He married Julia Fitzgerald in Cork City on 12 Jan 1849 (St. Finbar's). He was named in his son Michael's marriage record.
1. Michael John Hegarty's birth information is derived from Massachusetts vital records compiled by the Massachusetts State Archives and placed online by Ancestry.com , AmericanAncestors.org, and FamilySearch.org, and also from the US census for 1900 and 1910. Various spellings of his name in official records include Hagerty and Haggerty. AmericanAncestors.org, administered by the New England Historic Genealogical Society, presents the database Massachusetts Vital Records, 1841-1910, which I will abbreviate in parenthetical citations as MVR followed by the year of the record. Michael John Hegarty's death is derived from personal knowledge and from the death indices of the Massachusetts Department of Health Services (abbreviated MDI) and the Social Security Administration (abbreviated SSDI).
2. John James Hegarty's birth information is derived from his birth certificate and St. Finbarr's parish records.
3. The 1930 census shows a Burke family as renters at the same address.
4. Lena Hegarty's birthdate is calculated from the age she gave on the census, so that while it may conflict with her sister's birthdate here, there is probably wiggle room.

"more on blocking" theres no link
btw tks for sharing all your work
What is Mitigation?
Mitigation is the amount of damage that is reduced by your armour. You can find out what your mitigation against physical damage is against something the same level as you by mousing over your armour total on the character sheet in game. If you have 54% mitigation, then you would take 46% of the damage from the attack when it lands. Using those numbers, if the attack would hit for 10,000 damage with no armour, you would take 4600 damage from it. There's a hard cap of 75% mitigation on armour, easily testable in game, Blizzard has outright told us in past, and as you see in the code below from the basic WOW interface it gets set to 75% if the calculation were to come out higher than that.
Note that a lot of people call dodge and parry mitigation. We've been encouraging people to distinguish avoidance and mitigation by their definitions for a long while:
Main Entry: mit·i·gate
1 : to cause to become less harsh or hostile
2 a : to make less severe or painfulWhile a dodge or parry (or being missed) technically means you mitigated 100% of the damage, it also leads to confusion when trying to talk about the various gear strategies. Dodge, parry and miss are properly called avoidance.Main Entry: avoid
(...irrelevant definitions...)
3 a : to keep away from b : to prevent the occurrence or effectiveness of c : to refrain from
When you block, on the other hand, that is mitigation since you are only preventing some amount of damage, and the rest gets through. Blocking can give up to an extra 10% mitigation, depending on what you're fighting and what your block value is.
But when I dodge I take no damage, so that really is mitigation!
As noted, that is technically true. The difference between mitigation and avoidance is a pedantic difference, but the big thing is that you can account for mitigation from armour in calculations since it is a constant. The damage you don't take because you dodged, parried or were missed, or because your block value was bigger than the hit, are all based on probability. You can't determine when that reduction is going to happen (and in the case of block you can't always know that your block value will be enough to block a whole hit). Because of that nature, you can't use it in calculations. That's why we separate them in definition because otherwise it gets terribly confusing when trying to show theorycraft, when trying to explain it all to new people - basically everywhere that matters.
Block is funny since it can act as mitigation when your block value is too low to absorb an entire hit, and it can be avoidance when it is. It's always based on probability, so it is not properly counted with your mitigation. These days it is very rarely a complete avoidance of damage, so it is not properly counted with your avoidance. Generally it is a third term when used in theorycrafting.
We generally add a third term to be the all-encompassing one: Mitigation for armour, Avoidance for dodge/parry/miss, and damage reduction when referring to the combination of them, including block.
There's a reason people come here for this kind of information, and not to whatever other place. We have consistent definitions like these because it helps us to describe stuff that can be fairly complex to people in as simple a way as possible.
How much mitigation does my armour give, anyway?
Happily, this is a question that is easily answered without needing to reverse engineer anything. We simply look in the PaperDollFrame.lua file in the basic WOW interface. This is the piece of code that displays all your stats on the character frame. It explicitly gives the mitigation formula for armour. (Note that this formula has not changed at all for Wrath of the Lich King):
We see that the mitigation function is different for levels 1-59 than it is for level 60-80. In all cases, the formula for mitigation as a function of armour takes this form:Code:local levelModifier = attackerLevel; if ( levelModifier > 59 ) then levelModifier = levelModifier + (4.5 * (levelModifier-59)); end local temp = 0.1*armor/(8.5*levelModifier + 40); temp = temp/(1+temp); if ( temp > 0.75 ) then return 75; end ...
Where K is a value based on the attacker's level (not your level!). When considering mitigation for attackers under level 60, and attackers level 60 and over, all that changes is the value of K. Let's first visit the old-style mitigation formula, which still applies for all attackers under level 60.Code:A M = ----- A + K
Under 60
From the above code, we see that if level is under 60, we still get K = (85*L + 400). Substituting back into the mitigation formula:
60 and beyondCode:A M = ---------------- A + (85*L + 400)
From the above code, we see that if level is 60 or higher, the value of K is modified based on how many levels above 59 the attacker is. With a bit of manipulation, we get: K = (467.5*L - 22167.5). Derivation of that is left to interested readers. Substituting back into the mitigation formula:
That's pretty ugly. Here's the formula solved for level 80 and 83 attackers, which will be the interesting cases anyway:Code:A M = ----------------------- A + (467.5*L - 22167.5)
Code:A M80 = ------------ A + 15232.5Mitigation at selected pointsCode:A M83 = ---------- A + 16635
Wait, what? So when do I hit the 75% cap?Code:Armour Level 80 Level 83 10000 39.6% 37.5% 15000 49.6% 47.4% 20000 56.7% 54.6% 25000 62.1% 60.0% 30000 66.3% 64.3% 35000 69.7% 67.8% 40000 72.4% 70.6%
As always, the 75% cap is hit at 3*K (again, the derivation of this is left to interested readers).
For a level 80 attacker, 75% mitigation is at 45698AC
For a level 83 attacker, 75% mitigation is at 49905AC
Don't forget to read here about diminishing returns.
Blocking is also a form of mitigation. Every time you block, you reduce the incoming damage by your shield block value (SBV). Depending on what you're fighting and how much block value you have, it can be a pretty significant amount of mitigation. More on blocking
Defensive Stance
The warrior 10% mitigation bonus for Defensive Stance is multiplied with your mitigation from armour, (and is not included in the mitigation given in the tooltip for armour). That is, damageTaken = totalDamage x (1-mitigation) x (0.90)
For example:
- If you have 50% mitigation from armour, you have an overall mitigation of 55.0% in defensive stance
- If you have 75% mitigation from armour, you have an overall mitigation of 77.5% in defensive stance
What about Magic?
When fighitng something that does magic damage, armour doesn't provide any mitigation at all. That's when we start breaking out the resist gear. The basics of how resistance works are found here. The best you can do with resistance, as with armour, is to achieve an average 75% resist rate. You get this by having a resistance against the school of magic equal to the (5 x mob level). For level 70, that's 350. For 73 that's 365. Note that spells and special abilities cast by mobs cannot be critical hits, so defense isn't nearly as important as resistance for high magic damage tanking where the magic comes from spells and/or special abilities.
On the other hand, elemental mobs deal melee damage that is elemental, and they can critically hit you with those melee attacks. Having some defense is good here, but it's often very important to maintain the high resistance even at the cost of defense. In general, maxed out resistance will mitigate more damage than the crit reduction would provide while taking more damage overall because of lower resistance.

"more on blocking" theres no link
btw tks for sharing all your work
Live Together, Die Alone!
How come at 75% mitigation from armour you only get 77.5% in def stance?- If you have 50% mitigation from armour, you have an overall mitigation of 55.0% in defensive stance
- If you have 75% mitigation from armour, you have an overall mitigation of 77.5% in defensive stance
50 * 1.1 = 55
75 * 1.1 = 82.5
Or maybe I am missing something?
you're assuming the multiplier works that way. it doesn't.
It's actually, post armor mitigation for defense rating.
It doesn't work addititively, it works multiplicatively.
At 50% you actually have (1-.50) * .1(defensive stance multiplier) = 5% defensive stance bonus, that + 50% original = 55%.
at 75% you actually have (1-.75) * .1(defensive stance multiplier) = 2.5% defensive stance bonus, that + 75% original = 77.5%
So the more armor mitigation you get, the less def stance bonus you get. Otherwise warriors would be able to obtain 85% mitigation, much more than any other tanking class.

Yeah, the short way is just to multiply all the unmitigated portions, to get the final mitigated damage taken.
(100%-75%)*(100%-10%) = 25% * 90% = 22.5%
Just for clarification, while the absolute values for defensive stance do decrease the more armor you have, the relative value stays the same at 10%: I.E. you take 10% less damage with defensive stance up than you did without it, regardless of how much armor you have. The absolute value will be lower, but the "then compared to now" value will remain at 10% due to the multiplicative nature of the equation.
As an aside. If you were able to "boost" defensive stance somehow, you would see the absolute contribution of armor decrease in the same fashion as you see the absolute contribution of defensive stance decrease when you boost armor.
It makes sense for me... I am working on building a full time to live spreadsheet... And this makes a huge difference. What I would like to do is see how each piece.. inherently affects your ttl.

Sounds like a good deal. But one caution to anyone planning to go for this: Use a disposable e-mail address. I've never bought a thing from Gevalia but get endless amounts of spam from them or from someone using their name. Very tiresome.
Coffee sucks.
I love the amaretto flavored. I'm addicted. Every few months I bite on these offers. My email doesn't get spammed that much either. I usually go another month and cancel with no problems at all.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Dr. Peter Booth has long been interested in heritage - "ever since grade school," he said. "And I truly see the knowledge of history, heritage and culture as vital to a healthy community that can (make) informed decisions about the future."
Booth, 49, who recently took the helm at the Museum of Western Colorado, also strongly believes that a museum shouldn't be viewed by the public as "a storehouse for old stuff."
Rather, he sees museums as "key cultural institutions, dedicated toward helping a community preserve its heritage and tell its story."
The new executive director took the reins last month from Mike Perry, who will stay on with the organization as director of its travel tours and other related programs. Though Booth moved from Salem, Ore., to take his new post in January, Colorado has long held his interest and he's excited to call Grand Junction home.
"It was something I couldn't pass up," Booth said of the director position at the nationally accredited Museum of Western Colorado, which spans the Museum of the West, Dinosaur Journey in Fruita, and the Cross Orchards historic site.
"This particular museum has incredible resources in its staff," he added.
With its particularly strong curatorial staff in anthropology, paleontology and history, Booth additionally said "that opens up opportunities for expanded programming and opportunities."
There's no master plan in place for upgrades and new projects, however. Rather, Booth will be working hard with the museum board in a "calculated study" and "strategic analysis" of "what's out there" before identifying additional programming or any changes in store for the museum.
"Every time one approaches a new position, one needs a good understanding of (the organization's) strengths and weaknesses," he said.
Booth did, however, confirm that the museum's trip program - Passport to Adventure - will be expanding. Currently, it hosts trips and tours both locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. Tours in 2013 will visit a variety of places, including Telluride, museums in Denver, national parks in Utah, western Canada and even Iceland.
"We look forward to working with Dr. Booth," Museum of Western Colorado Assistant Director Kay Fiegel said. "His leadership, experience, expertise and energy will be a tremendous asset to the Museum of Western Colorado."
Before moving to Grand Junction, Booth led the Willamette Heritage Center in Salem, Ore. He's worked at a number of locations spanning Oregon and Arizona throughout his museums-based career. Booth also received his Ph.D. from Purdue University, studying a variety of American histories (including that of the Western U.S., Native Americans and Latin America).
With a strong focus on West Slope history (think Wild West outlaws and old guns), plus exhibits displaying Native American artifacts (like the Anasazi and Ute), the Museum of Western Colorado was a good fit for his interests, Booth said.
Booth has long felt connected to Colorado, too. His family's heritage in the state can be traced to his great-grandparents, who lived in the Pueblo area during the 1880s. Plus, Booth was born in Denver, though he grew up elsewhere.
"It's a beautiful area," he said of the Grand Valley. "Outdoor recreation opportunities abound - like hiking, biking (when it warms up) ... and fishing."
And his young sons - Albert, Owen and Anthony - are enjoying the snow, Booth added.

Kentucky's notable and notorious titles
Last week, an article highlighting Esquire magazine's decision to peg Kentucky as the most stylish state in the country circulated on Facebook and Twitter.
The designation was and is pretty cool – even though the article was originally run in 2006.
I reached out to the style editor of the men's magazine to ask if the honor still stands. After all, it was bestowed upon us because Kentucky has produced nine major style setters: George Clooney; My Morning Jacket; the Kentucky Derby; Muhammad Ali; Johnny Depp; Hunter S. Thompson; Allan Houston; Chuck Woolery; and Col. Harland Sanders.
The Esquire editor reached back to me about my interview request. I'm hoping to have an update on our title (or lack thereof) by next issue.
Regardless of whether the Bluegrass is best dressed, we already know we rank abysmally in so many areas that have to do with life and death issues. I suspect that's partially why so many people joined in on the online conversation about the Esquire piece: Sometimes, you just need a fluffy, feel-good bit of reprieve.
That being said, The New York Times recently highlighted Kentucky's fight with obesity and how Louisville is battling it one step, one person, one walkable route at a time. (If you haven't seen the article, I've posted it on my Facebook page.)
When it comes to health issues, it's no secret that we're in a collective crisis. What's the answer? The Voice is hoping to find out.
This week we begin a series of articles chronicling the very personal battle of Lisa Thermen, who is beginning a two-month journey guided by her sister and local life coach Stacey Vicari. Lisa's goal: to reshape her body and how she approaches life.
In addition to covering this journey, The Voice will also seek input from area experts and report on how our local initiatives are – and sometimes are not – affecting the community in the ways we need most.
I'd like to report back that the Bluegrass State has remained No. 1 on Esquire's most stylish state list.
Even more – much more – I'd love to report back that Louisville and the Commonwealth are making moves that will soon eliminate us from ranking so high on the lists we wish we weren't on at all.
Stay tuned.
Coach Davenport
I shouldn't have been shocked to run into Scotty Davenport at the Greater Louisville Association of Realtors (GLAR) charity golf outing and dinner last week. The Bellarmine University men's basketball coach is incredibly generous with his time, particularly when it comes to worthy causes in our community.
Scotty didn't show up at Standard Country Club to golf away the gorgeous day, and – goodness – it sure was one. No, he popped by just to say hello to those in attendance because the event benefited the St. John's Center for the Homeless and Gilda's Club Louisville.
Coach sure makes it easy to be a Bellarmine fan.
Good Eats
I'm always on the lookout for new places to grab a bite to eat. Can't tell you I thought I find such a place at Big Blue Country, a sports bar located on the corner of Baxter Avenue and Lexington Road.
Despite the name, you don't have to be a card-carrying University of Kentucky fan to enter, though if you are, you'll definitely appreciate the decor. You don't even have to be a sports fan, either. I popped in on a Saturday afternoon just for the heck of it and wound up finding one of my new favorite salad spots (try Francie's Fruit Salad) and one of the friendliest additions to the area bar scene.
Also, if you like karaoke, stop in on Friday nights. If you're lucky, you'll get to hear Lisa the Singing Bartender.

By DAVID GERMAIN
AP Movie Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Just turned 50, Tom Cruise is eligible for membership in the American Association of Retired Persons. Just split from third wife Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise is the object of told-you-so cynics who simply knew that romance wouldn't last. Just finished with his stab at something really different as a heavy-metal rock god in "Rock of Ages," Tom Cruise is coming off one of the lowest-grossing movies in his career.
Yet just out with his latest action flick, "Jack Reacher," Tom Cruise remains one of the biggest stars in Hollywood.
He's weathered ridicule, intense speculation about his family life, bumpy stretches at the box office brought on by audience disdain over his personal antics and some ill-considered movie projects.
And Cruise is right where he was when 1986's "Top Gun" vaulted him to superstardom: On top. Maybe not the same level of on top as the 15-year stretch that began in the early 1990s, when practically every Cruise film was bound to be a $100 million hit.
But for a guy his age, with his baggage, in a business that deifies youth and excommunicates talent when it goes off the deep end, Cruise still prospers.
"None of us can stay in the spotlight that long without some issues and some controversy. Tom has stayed committed all along to finding great projects," said Rob Moore, vice chairman at Paramount Pictures, which released "Jack Reacher" on Friday. "What you see over time is that Tom has been in such a great list of movies that are of such high quality, that ultimately, people come back to the work and the talent."
Fans seem to agree. In a poll of nearly 1,000 people buying movie tickets at Fandango.com, 82 percent said Cruise's personal life does not influence whether or not they will see his movies.
"The target audience for `Jack Reacher' probably doesn't care whether he's married, separated or divorced," said Fandango.com chief correspondent Dave Karger. "As long as teenage guys tell their friends that they liked it, that's all that matters. These aren't people that are reading Us Weekly. They just want to know how the action is."
Arriving amid a pre-Christmas rush of films, expectations are modest for "Jack Reacher," with the opening weekend projected at $15 million or less. The film was made on a moderate $60 million budget, about $100 million less than Cruise's last "Mission: Impossible" installment, and Paramount executives hope holiday crowds will give "Jack Reacher" an extended shelf life after opening weekend.
Adapted from "One Shot," part of Lee Child's series of best-selling books about a mysterious ex-military investigator, "Jack Reacher" features colder, crueler violence than the typical Cruise action film, which could hurt its prospects after the school shootings in Connecticut.
Cruise's Reacher is a fairly merciless lone wolf, while the movie opens with gruesome slayings as a sniper randomly scopes out victims to shoot.
"No question, for any of these types of movies, it's a raw nerve," said Paul Dergarabedian, an analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood.com. "Violent imagery of any kind may be a bit of a tougher sell right now."
Yet for the long haul, Cruise's prospects look steady. Despite derision his private life has brought him, Cruise has suffered only bumps and bruises professionally. At the height of his bizarre romance with Holmes, when Cruise was jumping up and down on Oprah Winfrey's couch to proclaim his love, he bewildered, annoyed and even infuriated fans.
Yet they have kept coming. A month after the 2005 couch trip, Cruise scored one of his biggest hits ever with "War of the Worlds." The following year, after alienating many people with his suddenly public sermonizing about his Scientology beliefs, damage was evident as "Mission: Impossible III" seriously underperformed the franchise's earlier installments.
He went five years without a huge solo smash, though he did delight fans with a twisted supporting role in the comedy hit "Tropic Thunder" and defied expectations by earning respectable box office and reviews as an eye-patch-wearing German officer in the Hitler assassination thriller "Valkyrie."
Paramount, Cruise's long-time studio home, dumped him in 2006 over his odd behavior, and the actor went on to a failed attempt to revive the United Artists banner that resulted in the 2007 war-on-terror dud "Lions for Lambs."
Then Cruise and Paramount realized what a good thing they'd had together. He rejoined the studio for "Tropic Thunder" and last year's "Mission: Impossible _ Ghost Protocol," which restored Cruise to the blockbuster ranks and generally is regarded as the franchise's best installment.
