I didn't understand that only one panel came in my order. They show you two panels but only offer one. They are extremely thin.....ughhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!
I gott hese for my living room. They did not work for this setting but they are a lovely curtain.
These curtains look beautiful in my home. They are a little thin, so they will not block heat or sunlight, but they are fabulous decorative pieces.
Although the colour on the picture and description do not match with the actual colour which is MAROON and not RED, I will recommend my friends to perches because the latter is a unique item.
Curtains are of nice quality and look great paired with the matching valances. Take some extra time to iron them and the little flowers for the full effect.

Diva Q Ultimate Bacon Jalapeño Sausage Super Fatty – Just in time for the Superbowl
The last time I made this was 2009 and we will be doing one again in the near future for the big game. This is a party sized appetizer of enormous proportions – deliciously decadent…Absolutely this is one of my all time favorites from the grill…
4 lbs sausage (3 regular 1 hot)
2 lbs bacon
3-5 jalapeños (cored membrane removed and sliced in half)
2 tablespoons Smoky Mountain Smokers Spicy BBQ Rub
5 tbsp garlic tobasco sauce
5 green onions chopped
2 packages cream cheese
4 tbsp 3eyz BBQ rub
3/4 c Strodes Cherry BBQ sauce
5 tbsp garlic powder
3 tbsp onion powder
2 tbsp Chipotle powder
Mix all the filling ingredients together in a bowl and set aside in a piping bag with large nozzle.
Lay 3 feet of saran wrap on kitchen counter
Spread out sausage (no casings) on the plastic wrap evenly spreading the mixture to approx 1/2″ thick and forming a rectangular shape that is 21/2 feet long.
place the jalapeños in a line down the center of the sausage mixture
Pipe the cheese mixture onto the jalapeños going the entire length of the sausage.
Using the plastic wrap to aid you bring the sides of the sausage mixture up and around the jalapeños and cheese forming a cylindrical tube.
Place on a large tray and chill in fridge or if room allows the freezer for 30 minutes.
Lay 3 feet of saran wrap on the counter. Arrange the strips of bacon to slightly overlap each other. Depending on the thickness of your bacon you will need between 2 – 3 lbs of bacon . (Please see picture above)
Remove the sausage from the fridge. Roll the sausage out of the saran wrap onto the bacon layers.
Bring the pieces of the bacon at the ends up first then continue to bring the bacon slices up onto the sausage until fully enclosed in bacon.
Sprinkle the entire fatty with the Smoky Mountain Smokers Spicy BBQ rub.
Prepare your grill for indirect cooking medium heat (275-300F).
******* Big Caution here… its a LOT of bacon. Bacon grease fires are serious business. Ensure your grill if using charcoal or propane or gas – utilizes a pan (with about 2 inches of water) under the fatty to capture the bacon grease. Always be prepared with a fire extinguisher and baking soda in case of a grease fire. Stay put and stay close. YOu don't ever want to be far from a grill that has bacon on it. *******
Place the fatty on your grill in a horseshoe shape. BBQ your fatty until the internal temperature in many locations when probed reaches 165F (approx 2-3hours) and the bacon is crsipy. Glaze in the last few moments of cooking with the Strodes Cherry BBQ sauce. Remove from heat and rest at least 15 minutes. Slice and serve with additional BBQ sauce and hot sauces.
The ULTIMATE DivaQ BBQ Bacon & Eggs Recipe
LOL so this is how it rolls. I was at the Home Hardware Trade show this past Sunday Monday and Tuesday. I love doing this show. Its loads of fun and hardwork rolled into one. It was a bit quieter on one of the afternoons and so a friend (Mark Bianco) of mine from another booth popped over with some chocolate. I just happened to have a pound of bacon and a great assortment of Traegers to work on !!!!!
So this is where it all began. With generous donations from the folks at the Cadbury booth & Hershey's (thanks very much Phil and Aaron) we got started on this program.
The day before we had done a preliminary run and I took things to a whole new level the following day tweaking our procedure.
Heres some pictures of how we got them done. They were wrapped in 3 layers of bacon in total. In the experiment we found that 3 types of chocolate (we tried all total 6 different types) came out on top for sure. Our favorite choices for bacon wrapped chocolate bars would be Crispy Crunch, it was awesome – seriously awesome. I was thrilled. For sure. Then came the Hershey'smilk chocolate bars. I stacked 4 of them together. It worked really well. But them the ultimate completely ultimate bacon and eggs occurred. I took the Cadbury creme eggs and wrapped them in bacon. Oh My GOODNESS!!!!!!!
Seriously insanely good. The gooey center combined with the chocolate covering topped with the bacon was just out of this world. I know this has been done by baking before but never has it been done on a BBQ!! The BBQ Crisps up the bacon so wonderfully and the light smoke flavor is just the icing on the cake. Wow.
Pictures of all these bacon goodness and chocolate adventures:
Please note the first 15-20 minutes the tray was on the grill then we removed them from the tray and put them directly on the grill. I would suggest if you do it use frozen chocolate bars or eggs to start. WE had the traegers at 225F and used Hickory pellets.
Also I would like to say the very first person to ever eat this creation was none other than Mike Holmes from Holmes on Homes. LOL now that was funny.

Brian Kimble was violently murdered by his girlfriend in 2004.
And in college he would give back by helping out with Habitat for Humanity.
About 25 workers and 90 people including Kimble's family members joined forces Saturday during the 6th annual day of volunteering at the Flower city Habitat for Humanity.
His father told us about his son Brian's generous spirit.
"My son Brian was a campus coordinator for Habitat at his college at his college, at Clarkson University up in North Country. So that was a great impetus to get us involved in Habitat here locally in honor of his memory," said Kevin Kimble.
The Brian Kimble Fund raises about $2,000 for the FCHH every year.

Although the City of Manassas Department of Public Works and Utilities budgets $250,000 a year for snow removal, the large snowfall totals this winter have used up much of the budget. Manassas has spent approximately $425,000 on snow removal efforts. For details, go to www.manassascity.org or call 703-257-8276.
Between December 2013 and February 2014, Manassas City crews have been mobilized for nine snow-related events using approximately 1200 tons of salt, 200 tons of sands, 3600 gallons of ice ban liquid, 18 pieces of hired equipment, 18 pieces of Manassas City equipment and utilized 49 Manassas City employees. Manassas City has a general contingency fund account that can be used for additional snow removal expenses.
Approximately $51,000 of the snow budget was used for snow removal of Manassas City Schools.
Colder weather has set in and that means people are turning up their thermostats and seeing higher utility bills. The City of Manassas' Operation Round Up is in full force, where customers that authorize the City of Manassas to "round up" their monthly electric bill to the next higher dollar. If the bill is $73.80, it is rounded up to $74 and the extra 20 cents is contributed to the Operation Round Up® fund. Single donations from customers are also accepted, simply by adding the additional dollars to their payment with a notice that the overpayment is for Operation Round Up. For details, go to www.manassascity.org or call 703-257-8276.

Library Lesson Learned II
posted December 17, 2012 3:04 PM by Sarah Barton
On my way home from the train a few days ago, I ran into a woman who frequents the library where I work. The library stays open until 9 pm two nights per week, and she is almost always there at least one of those nights watching videos and shows on her laptop. I say hi to her and ask how she's doing, but we never had a conversation and I didn't know her name. One night, for no apparent reason, she gave me a bag of tasty Szechuan peanuts. Anyway, when I saw her walking home from the train that day, we both recognized each other immediately and had a nice conversation. By virtue of seeing each other at the library, this woman and I had tacitly become friends.
That very same evening at work, another frequent patron came up to me while I was shelving books to say that he hadn't seen me in a while and asked how I was doing. I said that I only work a few nights each week, but yes, it had been a while since we had seen each other. He asked what I do when I'm not working at the library, and was interested when I said going to library school. Again, this was someone I had seen at the library a handful of times, but not someone with whom I thought I had any sort of relationship.
These two instances made me realize that in my four months as a public library employee, frequent patrons have come to recognize me as a familiar face. Whether I help people directly or just say hello, patrons have started to associate my face with the library. It is strange to think that I am developing informal relationships with people every time I show up to work, and that those relationships transcend the library's walls. Community interaction is one of the most important aspects of working in a public library. Of course, not all patron interactions are positive, but the two aforementioned exchanges helped me contextualize public librarianship as being interpersonal as well as informational.

I want to say something. I'm not sure what. I'm disappointed I guess. I have been told to learn not to expect things from people. Or rather,not to expect people to be better than what they are.

leisa82: unfortunately so

Propaganda! Grrr!
Why is it that I can ever only remember the bad ones?
Just a thought.

Other people's dreams are never interesting…except when they're about sex. Each week, our dream analyst Lauri Loewenberg tells one lucky reader what their dirty dream means. This week, a reader asks Lauri:
My boyfriend and I have been together for three months. We live together and are very happy. But I had a dream we broke up. And two weeks after we did, he was engaged to someone else. It wasn't anyone I knew. And he and I were sitting on a deck outside as I talked to him about his decision. Although I was devastated, I wouldn't let him see that. Please help me interpret this dream!
Lauri: Fear not my dear! This dream isn't foretelling of your relationship's demise. However, it does suggest there has been some sort of separation… perhaps a separation of ideas. Do you recall having a disagreement around the time of this dream? His engagement is most likely connected to some activity or idea he has "engaged in" in waking life that you perhaps are none too happy with, something that may lead to you feeling left out. Your dream is giving you advice, as our dreams often do. Just as you are outside discussing his decision in the dream, so should you get your feelings "out in the open" regarding this waking life issue. Hiding how you feel doesn't do anyone a bit of good. Aside from friendship, open honesty is a big key to a long, healthy relationship.
Got a dream you want Lauri to analyze? Click here to submit it. Anonymity guaranteed! And don't forget: you can get access to Lauri's free Dream Dictionary on her site.

Are you tired? You must be. Because I get tired just trying to follow everything going on in the banking industry right now. Besides the fight against new regulations, the battle to keep competitors at bay, the diminishing revenue margins and the constant public relations campaign to improve the industrys tarnished image, you have to find time to run a business and manage employees. It is similar to the global problem the keynote speaker at the American Bankers Associations National Conference for Community Bankers last month pointed out: The world population is consuming more than Earth can handle. How will we survive? Isnt that what you wonder about your bank? How will it survive the challenges it faces? Both the world and banks do have a fighting chance of surviving. The key is innovation, according to Ken Robinson, an internationally acclaimed expert on creativity and innovation.
The good news is any organization can be innovative and it is not as difficult as everyone thinks. One myth about innovation, Robinson said, is that a culture of innovation is about special people. This is a myth because some of the best ideas come from the least likely spots. The key, he said, is for all employees to be engaged. Another myth about innovation is that it is about special things. Robinson said this is untrue; you can innovate anything. And the third myth about innovation is that there is nothing you can do about it. Robinson said it takes a lot of time, encouragement and tending, but any company can be innovative; the culture just has to come from the top.
There are three components to innovation, according to Robinson. The first component is imagination, which he defines as the ability to bring to mind things not currently available. Robinson suggested bankers challenge the things they think are obvious. The second is creativity, which is putting imagination to work by taking action. One caveat to creativity is that the ideas need to have value and be relevant. And the third component is innovation, which Robinson says it putting good ideas into practice.
How do you create a culture of innovation? One idea is to create teams. Great ideas come from different perspectives so teams are important, Robinson said. Similarly, diversity is also important. Also, if you want innovation, you have to engage people, not control them. Creative leaders dont have to have all the good ideas, said Robinson.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Latest hilarious instalment of faux travel show follows in footsteps of famous explorer
Three globe-trotting jaunts into the extended adventure/ordeal imposed upon him by "mate" Ricky Gervais, it's hard to imagine that Karl Pilkington really hasn't developed a taste -- or, at least, a tolerance -- for this travel documentary thing.
Actually, the more time the less-than-affable Englishman spends away from home as the subject/victim of the ongoing series An Idiot Abroad, the more difficult it becomes to believe that Pilkington's unease and ineptitude are the genuine, unrehearsed behaviour of a simpleton rather than the carefully crafted act of a skilled comedic performer.
But here's the thing: whether he's actually confounded or a willing conspirator in an elaborate faux-documentary contrivance, Pilkington remains hilarious as the Gervais-produced series returns with its third instalment, An Idiot Abroad: The Short Way Around.
Unlike the first two seasons -- the first sent Pilkington on a quest to visit the Seven Wonders of the Modern World; the second had him checking off destinations on a Gervais-assembled "bucket list" -- this new three-episode set doesn't involve a solo journey.
Instead, Gervais enlists the help of friend/co-star Warwick Davis (Life's Too Short) as Pilkington's travelling companion as he sets out to retrace the Venice-to-China footsteps of Marco Polo. He is, as one might imagine, given Pilkington's limited social skills, not a welcome addition.
"I've never seen a dwarf go on an around-the-world trip on any program," the filter-less Pilkington says when he meets with Gervais and Davis to discuss the journey. "I just think (he's) going to be a hindrance ... like a little sort of limpet, hanging on, dragging me back.
"That's how it feels -- something that's just hanging on -- a stag beetle, a leech."
Warwick, thankfully, is more amused than affronted. And so the journey begins.
As Marco Polo did more than 700 years ago, Pilkington and Davis begin their adventure in Venice. Before departing, however, they spend a couple of days sampling the culture and customs of the canal-crossed Italian city -- feeding pigeons in St. Mark's Square ("We've got those in Trafalgar Square," moans Karl), taking part in a elaborate masked ball and, later, strapping Pilkington into a water-powered jetpack unit on one of Venice's canals.
It's all very amusing, because Davis -- as he proved in his inspired self-parodying turn in Life's Too Short -- is willing to try anything, and Pilkington, whether in reality or merely in character, is hilariously averse to venturing even slightly out of his comfort zone.
Later in the first episode, the duo travels to Macedonia, where they set up camp with a band of gypsies and then visit with members of a religious sect whose practices prove to be a bit of a shocker for the comparatively staid Brits. The episode really takes off when Pilkington and Davis agree to try a primitive but (for viewers) highly entertaining version of hot-air ballooning.
Along the way, Gervais chimes in regularly in a series of cellphone conversations in which he takes delight in stage-managing the pair's shenanigans from afar. The exchanges never fail to entertain, fueled as they are by Gervais's infectiously mischievous giggle.
Episodes 2 and 3, which follow immediately, take Pilkington and Davis through India, where they experience "laughing yoga" and land roles in a Bollywood movie, and then on to China, where they cruise the Yangtze River and engage in some ridiculous behaviour at a panda sanctuary.
If there's anything that this third version of An Idiot Abroad proves, it's that there's still mileage left in this sort-of-travelogue project. As long as Pilkington remains -- or remains able to portray -- the titular idiot, he'll be a worthy guide and companion for couchbound dreamers looking for a decidedly uncomfortable kind of travel adventure.

JCB offers lifeline to the Uttoxeter Gateway Club
Posted: February 05, 2013|
By JENNY MOODY
A UTTOXETER group for adults with learning disabilities has been thrown a lifeline thanks to digger-giant JCB.
The Uttoxeter Gateway Club, which relies on grants and funding, has been handed a donation for £5,000 from the Rocester-based company.
The club hosts weekly club-based activities to improve members' social skills and help them build relationships.
Leader Pauline Wilson said the money has been a great help to the club, which is very important to its members.
She said: "The club is extremely important to our members and many of them would not have a social life if they couldn't come to us.
"It is becoming increasingly harder to get funding and, without it, we would not be able to afford our activities and outings.
"The donation will go a long way towards making sure we can continue for another year and we are very grateful to JCB for their support."
The JCB donation represents half of the group's annual running costs and has already paid for a day trip to Blackpool for members and their families, a meal at the Steeplechase pub and a Christmas party as well as an exciting programme of activities for the year.
It has also paid for a year's contract with Cinebowl, in Dovefields Retail Park, where members go once a month to either see a film at the cinema or go bowling as well as equipment for the club like indoor games and CDs.
Mrs Wilson added: "We also have a few people coming in to do demonstrations for the members so all in all it has been really good.
"We welcome all new members aged over 16 years of age who have learning disabilities.
"Also we would love to hear from anybody who has got any special skills they could bring to the club and they would like to volunteer.
"It is always nice to have new people.
"Finally I would like to thank JCB on behalf of the club as it is a big donation which is very good for us."
As young people with learning difficulties reach the age of 18 there is a lack of support available for them which is why the Uttoxeter Gateway Club was started and is so important to its members and their families.
In the past, the club has spoken out about its struggle with funding as it continued to ask for support.
A change to the funding structure by the Government made it even more of an uphill struggle for the Uttoxeter Gateway Club and a crucial bus service which enabled members to be bussed in from outlying rural areas like Mayfield, Marchington and Rocester also came under threat.
However, the dedicated volunteers have continued to fight for the club and provide activities, days out and even holidays for the members despite the ongoing struggle for funds.
The club, which is in its 25th year, has 30 members who meet each Tuesday from 6pm to 9pm at the Guildhall, at St Mary's Catholic Church, in Balance Street, Uttoxeter.
Trustees are also planning to spend some of the money on a website and newsletter to promote their work.
Anyone wanting more information or to offer their services as a volunteer can phone Mrs Wilson on 01889 564908.

Fine chemicals manufacturer Saltigo is looking to expand its high potency API (HPAPI) business by targeting the pharmaceutical industry in the US and Japan.
The Frankfurt, Germany-based firm will add manufacturing capacity at its facility in Redmond in Washington State, US – specifically for the production of compounds classed as category III under the SafeBridge toxicity categorization system.
Andreas Stolle, head of the firm's pharma business unit, said: "Once the expansion project has been completed, we will be able to respond even more extensively and flexibly to our customers` requirements."
The US expansion, which is due to be completed in 2012, comes hot on the heels of Saltigo's receipt of accreditation by Japanese regulators for its API and intermediates manufacturing site in Leverkusen, Germany.
The "Certificate of Foreign Drug Manufacturers" issued by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) applies to all non-sterile APIs made at the plant and is very important to Saltigo's expansion according to Stolle.
"For us, its value is similar to that of a certificate from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is an essential milestone for further expanding our business activity in Japan and safeguarding it on a sustainable basis" he said.
Lanxess, Saltigo's parent company, was unable to provide further information ahead of publication.

#4071524 Jaime's Advanced Warrior 5.4.7 Guide
Posted jaimex on 05 March 2014 - 12:39 AM
Hi there, and welcome to the newest Warrior 5.4.7 guide! This guide is targeted at more advanced players (2.2-2.4), in contrast to Flavour's guide, which is targeted at newer players. As such, this guide will skip the more basic elements of warrior and the game as a whole such as keybinding and movement, and jump right into a higher level warrior explanation. So, let's begin!
Recent Changes for Warriors in 5.4.7
In 5.4 warriors received a very important, albeit needed, change that really helped out the casters among our ranks – a nerf to the very annoying Disrupting Shout ability. The AOE pummel was previously able to be used in conjunction with or straight after a pummel, often requiring double faking from the caster and granting the warrior a ridiculous uptime on them for the first ~20 seconds of the game. Whether you play caster or not, I think we can all agree that this was an appropriate nerf to warriors, and took them one more step backwards towards 'strong' from 'retarded'.
TL; DR – Disrupting Shout is now mediocre.
On a more general note, the new season started! And with it, more resilience! Resilience is now at a staggering 80% damage reduction, slowing the game down immensely. At the time of writing, slower comps like WLS or LSD work much better due to lack of burst and more spread pressure combined with dampening thanks to longer games. This will most likely change in the next few weeks though, as more and more people get weapons. Battle Fatigue is also up to 60%, slowing down healing. (Including Second Wind IIRC!)
Talents and Glyphs
Warriors have been, for most of mop, quite cookie cutter in their spec. Some variations exist, but I feel that is better covered below.
The "Regular" Spec;
This is what I use. This does, in my experience work well. It also seems to generate controversy over Double Time! Let me justify this. When I play Double Time it doesn't give me a free pass the second I can't slam the target to charge them; it means I have to play with it intelligently. This gives you pretty much 100% uptime on Mages, Hunters, Druids, other Warriors, Monks, and any other class I can't think of right now that can use a blink/jump ability to get away from you. Generally saving one will pretty much always guarantee you can get back on a target only if you need to, for example if a mage blinks into a wall just into charge range; don't charge him. As I don't feel I've explained this very well; I'll simply do some diagrams with epic photoshop skills.
Heh. Anyway, this is "Situation A". The Mage has just blinked away from you; and you have one charge on your charge left. The mage also has a 3rd partner who I forgot to draw, the druid, who has a clone out of the poly the mage just POM'd on your healer, who I also forgot to draw. Intelligent thing to do is to charge the druid on clone. Don't charge the mage.
There is no situation B. I'm not putting myself through photoshop ever again. Anyway, it should be simple enough. Use Double Time smart, and it becomes much better than Juggernaut in my opinion.
TL; DR – Double Time versus high mobility casters/some melee/hunters, Juggernaut otherwise.
Second Wind, the tier 30 talent of choice for every warrior is simply the best – this is not up for discussion! It heals the most of all three talents, has 100% uptime (JK stunned.) and doesn't require a keybind/button press.
TL; DR – Really? Its three lines. Go Second Wind.
Tier 45. Disrupting Shout vs Piercing Shout. This is something that sparked a debate in the other guide regarding which is better; in my opinion both are good! Piercing works well in pretty much every situation, hence it getting my preference. It is great for peeling, much better than the third alternative, staggering shout, as this breaks instantly on damage – this can save a shaman/holy paladin's life versus KFC (I'm looking at you, Luddex.) or TSG. It can also land kills, say your other DPS is soloing something across the map and you got polied in Jamaica, saying hello to African children, you can slow the nearby healer without having to change target, slowing the time he can reach the target in and thus perhaps landing a kill. However, IMHO, Disrupting is still VERY viable, despite the recent nerfs. Against double caster teams I would argue this is a must, as landing a double kick on say, a Haunt + Lava Burst often could save defensive CDs. However outside of landing double interrupts it loses its value. Honestly, this tier is personal preference.
TL; DR – Disrupting is better versus double caster and Piercing versus pretty much everything else, however both can work well.
Bladestorm or Shockwave?! In previous patches Bladestorm has been very strong and viable, often carrying several different players to victory. No names. It typically works well in train the healer comps that already have a stun or in conjunction with storm bolt, also pretty good versus :rogue: :mage: :druid: / :priest: – if you are quick, Bladestorm can be used as an extra trinket to get out of stunlocks, perfect for when you fuck up and trinket before bomb! The spread pressure from Bladestorm and Bloodbath is also beyond retarded if you time it well so the enemy team has double targets for you to cleave down. Although, any real Warrior uses shockwave. This spell has infinite utility, with unlimited targets, a short cooldown if you aren't suffering from brain haemorrhaging, and actually ok damage in full gear. I won't go into the full usage of the spell in every aspect. It's an instant, AOE stun. I would use this 99% of games.
TL; DR – Shockwave is best IMO, however Bladestorm has some nice utility. (It breaks hunter traps/polies though so be careful!)
Safeguard is best here, MSR is no longer viable due to the added mobility from Safeguard. Not much else to say other than use it intelligently, make it a macro like the one that will be included down below, to intervene your teammates and thus they receive the damage reduction.
TL; DR – Safeguard.
Finally, Stormbolt or Bloodbath. Bloodbath works well with Bladestorm, I have also heard reports of killing monks in 2v2 with Bloodbath + Shockwave. It really has limited uses outside of this though. Stormbolt is 100x better IMO. Using it in KFC is a must, for trapping off of stuns and also in TSG or Kitty, where every quarter DR stun matters. Ranged stun, good damage on fully DR'd stun targets. Only real downside is the travel time, making it easy to meld or pregrounding (for trap afterwards.)
TL; DR – Stormbolt 9/10 times, Bladestorm for YOLOswag
On to the glyphs! Glyphs are simple for warriors, with only one interchangeable one IMO! (However, even this is debated, however I will discuss this in a moment.)
Mandatory Glyphs
Glyph of Death From Above – This gives you a 15 second cd reduction on Heroic Leap, making this glyph disgustingly overpowered. Must have for every comp/matchup in the game.
Glyph of Colossus Smash - Some warriors play without this. I personally wouldn't. The damage difference on plate or even mail is noticeable and it feels really shitty applying weaken armor 3 globals every swap.
3rd Optional Glyph
Glyph of Shield Wall - This is sick versus teams that games last <2 mins against. RMD/P as notable examples, trinket + wall allows for them to restun you in the bomb and you should live if you wall at a reasonable time. 60% damage reduction is pretty fucking amazing.
Glyph of Mortal Strike - This glyph pretty much has the same overall effect as Shield Wall glyph, saving defensive CDs from both you and your healer, however is better suited to longer games, dotcleaves, and anything that doesn't have a rogue. (Smoke Bomb counters you. Don't die in it.)
Glyph of Bull Rush - When you simply are never, ever swapped to be a team, this gives you more damage. I don't usually take this but if a TSG is just training shaman or something similar, it becomes alright, however even in this situation Blitz is stronger.
Glyph of Blitz - Perfect for peeling double melee. Not much else to save about this glyph. Combined with Double Time it becomes even stronger.
Gearing and Gemming
Warriors are pretty cookie cutter with their gearing and gemming, much like talents. Max crit is currently the best way to go for Warrriors without a doubt. Crit gives enrage. Enrage = More rage + flat damage increase = damage increase. Also, Slam crits hard. And Recklessness and Skull Banner scale with Crit chance. So yeah. Everybody loves crit. Here is the typical gear layout for a warrior.
Mainset Helm, no other options here. No enchants available.
Grievous Gladiator's Choker of Proficiency i.e Expertise + Crit. No enchants available.
Mainset Shoulders, no other option here. Enchant with Greater Tiger Fang Inscription.
Grievous Gladiator's Cloak of Alacrity i.e Haste + Crit. Enchant with Superior Critical Strike.
Mainset Chest, again, no other options. Enchant with Glorious Stats.
Grievous Gladiator's Armplates of Proficiency i.e Expertise + Crit. Enchant with Exceptional Strength.
Mainset Gloves, no other options. Enchant with Super Strength.
Grievous Gladiator's Girdle of Prowess i.e Mastery + Crit. Enchant with a Living Steel Belt Buckle.
Mainset Legs, no other options. Enchant with Angerhide Leg Armor.
Grievous Gladiator's Warboots of Cruelty i.e Crit + Mastery. Enchant with Pandaren's Step.
Grievous Gladiator's Signet of Accuracy + Grevious Gladiator's Signet of Cruelty. Enchant with the ring enchant if you are a JC.
Double on use trinkets if human, if not proc trinket and Crit PvP trinket works best for orcs with engineering. (This is pretty much a must if you aren't human.)
Meta Gem: Get two helms late season; one with the Tyrannical Meta Gem for teams that you can die against, otherwise play with a Reverberating Primal Diamond.
Yellow: Smooth Sun's Radiance
Blue: Radiant Wild Jade
Red: Inscribed Vermillion Onyx
Notes: Gem two Smooth Sun's radiance in legs, ignoring socket bonuses. Otherwise adhere to socket bonuses.
Reforging: 3% Hit = 3% Expertise > Crit > Mastery > Haste
General Tips N' Tricks + Macros
The most important thing about playing a warrior is positioning and trinketing. If you can't master these two things, you won't get very far as a warrior. You should be able to know when and where a trap is coming; this was fairly easy for me to pick up personally as playing a priest I had to learn to death scatters and thus this aspect was relatively simple. I'll try to explain this as best I can; the easiest way is to learn the people you fight against. This is more difficult at lower ratings where teams are sporadic but this is a guide aimed at 2.2+ where often there is maybe 5-10 teams queuing at one time. This can lead you getting the advantage by learning how the enemy hunter traps. Does he scatter first, or wyvern? Or perhaps off of storm bolt every time. Either way, acting like a druid or shaman preactively by leaping or intervening onto a trap destination before it's even thrown is instrumental in your success rate. This really sets the men apart from the boys when it comes to Warriors.
The second most important thing is trinketing. As you only have one trinket (barring Zerker!) you are often a good swap target for stun teams like :rogue: / X / X ( :D ). Thus, against rogue teams I save trinket for bomb. If they bomb on you, often trinket + wall is a good decision if they pop blades. If they blind you and swap healer, you should trinket if you can help out and then you have to hold trinket for the next bomb. It sucks, but without trinket you have lost the game. This goes for deeps as well, however you can live through a deep without death.
As you play more games and gain more experience with your class, you will become better and better at pre swapping stances before swaps on you. If you get caught in battle stance in a dance/orb, they will force your trinket, meaning you have to end within a minute if they have bomb up. I can't really give tips for this. It's more of a general awareness thing – watch for the enemy team's positioning, if they dot you up when they previously hadn't, unleash elements from a Ele, etc. Just be careful and swap to D if you take damage. Bullrush comes in handy if you have to sit D stance but in no danger of dying, giving you much more rage.
Damage Rotation; Colossus > Mortal > Slam with CDs up, during CS window, or against casters. Overpower against melee, or hunters. Can also be good versus resto shamans / ele shamans.
Here is Veev's take on Slam vs Overpower.
"Slam does ~32994 damage on average for 25 rage (1320 damage per rage, counting the bonus damage from Colossus Smash). Overpower does ~14102 damage for 10 rage (1410 damage per rage, counting the increased crit chance). Overpower is not only more rage efficient, but also reduces the remaining cooldown of Mortal Strike (which in turn grants more rage and a more frequent chance at proccing the Enrage buff). And Overpower cannot be blocked, dodged, or parried. Slam has a 1.5s GCD, giving it around 21996 DPS, while Overpower has a 1.0 GCD, giving it around 14102 DPS. That DPS number is not including any of the added benefits mentioned for Overpower, which are difficult to quantify.
So while Slam does do better instantaneous DPS, it does not provide nearly as much sustained damage as Overpower. For this reason, I try to use Overpower as much as possible, except during burst windows where I may be able to score a quick kill. My damage priority order looks something like this: If Colossus Smash and Mortal Strike are available, use them (while trying to minimize clipping of CS debuff). If using one of those is going to put you over the rage cap, use a Heroic Strike as well. After that, if you have 70+ rage, use Slam -- otherwise, use Overpower. Try to avoid using Slam on enemies with a high dodge chance.
Finally, mocking gets stealth teams out. It works like flare and works amazing versus RMX that don't expect it. This can save massive cds in the opener by preventing their opener.

Viable Comps + Streams
Warriors are in a really strong position this season, being one of the more viable classes among the dozen melee. They have the most viable comps available to them, and together with the comp illustrated above, is one of the easiest and best classes in the game to reach high rating with. Take it from me ;). Here is a simple list of the best comps for warriors. This is done in DPS/DPS/Healer format.
:warrior: :warlock: :shaman: - WLS is one of the strongest comps in the game at the time of writing, with the lack of strong burst in the game the warlock slowly rots the whole team down while the warrior does whatever he wants. The main strat here is to spam fear as much as possible, do max PvE damage, and have the warrior swap on whatever he can hit. If you ever played RLS in cata, it feels pretty similar. Probably one of the easier warrior comps.
:warrior: :hunter: :shaman: - KFC is also probably one of, if not the best comp in the game. The sheer damage and cc this comp has is ridiculous. From a warrior's point of view you have two jobs; take traps and do damage. If you want to get plus 2.4 you also may need to throw a stormbolt into trap though ;). Tunnel one target all game, force all cds with reck and then kill with raw damage. I generally pop cds as soon as my proc trinket procs or when we land the first trap, which normally forces dispersion/block/bubble etc.
:warrior: :hunter: :paladin: - Paladin KFC; Similar to above, just slightly weaker due to hpaladin getting cc'd much more. Is definently viable though.
:warrior: :deathknight: :paladin: - Paladin TSG; Stupidly good, but not as good as monk is at the moment. Lack of gear means it isn't actually outhealable.
:warrior: :deathknight: Monk - TSG with monk. Oh boy. The main thing about this comp is to have your monk pop his cds instead of yours. This guarentees you win against every single RM/X team. Monks will never ever die, but you will. If rogue pops dance + blades in opener, have him bubble you and you can sit it (either dk or warrior.) and maybe AMS/Parry out if really needed but it shouldn't be. Freedoms + Sprint from monk is stupid for dk, considering their only weakness is mobility. I actually play stuns here, and have my dk go chillblains. Charge>Shockwave>Stormbolt>Gnaw>Strang will for sure force a trinket or a kill, either way. Pop cds early as soon as they have used the cc they have, and can't peel you that well.
:warrior: :druid: :paladin: - Kitty is super strong right now, feral mobility and your damage is enough as long as you train casters. Can be tough versus teams that spam cc though, or hunters who know how to scare beast. Main tactic is similar to TSG - TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN.
:warrior: :druid: :shaman: - Shaman Kitty; same as above with purges and less survivability.
- Boomer/Warrior; Train casters and turtle between beams; against no hex dispel teams should go similar to this; charge, stormbolt or shockwave, beam vortex/root, hex, double clone, restun. Strength comes from CC and healing output.
:warrior: :mage: :druid: - WMD; Stupid CC and pve damage every minute. Not going to talk about this comp.
:warrior: :shaman: :druid: - Thunder; not that strong ATM but will become more viable with more and more gear. If the druid can spam clones just hit whatever and hope for procs, as you get more damage the comp becomes better.
- Turbo; better version of kitty, same tactics, more cc.
:warrior: :shaman: :paladin: - Paladin turbo, ^.
:warrior: :priest: :shaman: - WPS, One of my favorite comps in the game, really nice swaps to healers and survivability. Charge>shockwave>blanket>restun>disarm stun on a healer with no trinket and 3 orbs is pretty much a gg no re.
And finally, good warrior streams!

One of the major things discussed in that thread that i'm sure MOST of you have read (dont be an asshole) is how we (apparently arenajunkies) needs more guides for the noobshits that lurk here.
This is one of those guides. If you don't like jaime then go the fuck away. Don't read his guide. As i'm writing this there are 19 guests reading this post, meaning clearly it's informative enough for them.
I don't care what you think of him, he actually provided something to bring more people to our dying community. Better than you in that regard.
If you can't say something nice then say nothing at all and fuck right off.
To Jaime: The guide needs a bit better formatting. Try using bullets, or possibly different fonts for your comments about the sections.

Posted Bigmoran on 29 April 2014 - 04:03 AM
I think Fear is the strongest CC in the game and even the strongest ability. Obviously there are a few things that set it apart from other forms of long duration crowd control. These unique properties have made it the center of a lot of complaints including, but not limited to:
- Its positional displacement
- Its high threshold to break on damage
- Its strength in combination with Shadowfury
- Remove Howl of Terror from Warlocks and give Warlocks demonic breath baseline
- Remove casted fear, leveling the playing field between Warlocks and Spriests
#4103694 Cyclone and Fear now share DR in WoD
Posted Nadagast on 19 April 2014 - 03:47 AM
Capstone, on 19 April 2014 - 02:41 AM, said:
i think the way cyclone has worked with fear in cases of wizards has been extremely powerful at almost no risk. in most cases where wizards grow extremely powerful defensively and still have offensive ability based on control (s8 MLD, early s12 god comp, LSD today) it's usually always based on the idea that whenever anyone isn't immune to either fear or cyclone, you can just throw it at them and it's good. cyclone is undispellable, which makes it extremely easy to cross with, doesn't remove dots or heal, so there's no downside for putting it on someone, and it blocks incoming healing, so even a low target can be cycloned while you wait to get something on someone else. the same is true for fear, except it's dispellable (kind of with UA) and the target takes damage with it on. it's worth restating that it doesn't matter if these comps (today, LSD) are good or not - it's about how the powerful the CC is relative to how hard it is to set up and how it affects the other team's ability to play the game, which are both major concerns with cyclone in its current implementation
wizards having cc chains that punish a team for an extremely long period of time for a single mistake have been an issue with the game since MLD became strong in wrath, and i believe that two spammable CCs that have little to no downside are a culprit. there are other ways to fix this, like making cyclone wipe dots or heal the target it hits, but this is a more intuitive, less intrusive way of doing it. cyclone was previously on DR with blind and was changed to accomodate the state of the game, and it was a change for the better given the strength of priest/rogue at the time.
this change also presumably nerfs the amount of instant, consecutive CC that RMP/RMD have on a single target. maybe encourages using blind or cyclone on dps instead of (sometimes) exclusively for the healer. there's a lot of stuff i don't like about WoD, but if we can reduce the amount of CC available to wizards, and add more strategy to the way it has to be used, i'm an advocate
Even though I disagree with you, good post. Thank you.
General Points:
1. Fear and Cyclone are strong, but I think the damage invulnerability of Cyclone is a big downside, when playing with an Affliction Lock or Shadow Priest.
2. Resto Druids aren't generally casting tons of Cyclones, I think. Some are used defensively, but the biggest purpose of Cyclone, in my eyes, is to help secure kills.
3. Wizard comps don't all have Druids in them. Of the three big ones these days, LSD, MLS, and Destro LSM, only one has a Druid.
4. Cyclone is no longer NS-able in WoD, so all Cyclones will be casted.
More specifically:
5. Offense. In the times when CC matters the most offensively, (while going for a kill) the drawbacks of other CC don't really matter. If you polymorph DoTs off the healer while we're pushing for a kill on his friend, that's not really such a huge deal. So I don't see the lack of drawbacks being a big issue here. Any three specs that have different CC DRs on short (or 0) cooldowns will have a good ability to push for kills.
6. Defense. Warlock Druid is not generally considered extremely strong defensively, unless they play with an Elemental Shaman, so I have a hard time saying that Fear and Cyclone are too strong defensively (although they are certainly powerful).
7. The area where Fear and Cyclone uniquely shine, I think, (and I believe this is your point) is the neutral game. The neutral game is how the game plays out without anything special going on. Fear and Cyclone can be used to try to control the natural flow of the game. But again, Warlock Druid X comps besides LSD are not especially good at the neutral game--I think most people would agree that Lock Shaman X is better. And I don't think Cyclone is the reason LSD has a strong neutral game.
8. I disagree with your premise here: "wizards having cc chains that punish a team for an extremely long period of time for a single mistake have been an issue with the game". Wizard CC chains, even these days, (and hopefully more in the future) consist of lots of cast time or short range spells, which can be disrupted in the middle of the chain by players paying attention. CC chains, moreso when there's less instant CC, create clutch plays on both sides of the game.

#4095850 Started From The Bottom, Now I'm Nowhere
Posted Bailamosx on 08 April 2014 - 08:50 PM
Dear Blizzard Entertainment,
My rating started from the bottom now, now I'm here. Unless, I'm losing rating over there, then I'm going nowhere. Let those Drake lyrics serve as a hip way to memorialize the RBG rating recession for the past few seasons, and, the recent "hot fix" which further exacerbated the issue. When we were new to WoW PvP, we all admired the Blizzcon champion Twitch streamer, Swifty's biggest crit, the top ranked arena players, or the greatest RBG leaders. We love high rating, and, will not tolerate losing rating. PvPers play to gain rating all the time. I wouldn't give a damn in hell about a player that lost rating and laughed about it.
And yet, in the status quo the top 0.5%, our Hero of the Alliance, our Hero of the Horde, does not gain one. single. point. of. rating. I've tweeted lead PvP Designer, and, living proof that Blizzard does care about PvP, Holinka, on the matter. His reply admits an error in the inflation coding for RBG, unintentionally differentiating its rating gains from Arena:
Earlier last week, Holinka tweeted that the problem had been resolved:
Well, it hasn't. There was no bug in RBGs that ever allowed current rating to greatly exceed MMR. Rather, the bug is that our MMR does not provide us for higher current ratings. It was the exceptional skill, hard work, time, and energy of players like Buleh, who sits on the ladder as I type this with an astronomical record of 199 wins and 3 losses, and yet, he's only 2413 rated. I'm proud to say two of the losses are from my group. Not that it matters. Anyways, in the current bugged system he's not even good enough for the Prideful Gladiator's Tabard, which requires 2500 rating in Arena or RBG. If this player does not deserve to beam a wonderful shade of green on his chest after vanquishing that many opponents, in that humiliating a fashion, I do not know who does.
The top Arena players may reach a CR and MMR ~2700-2800.
And yet, the top RBG players may only reach a CR of ~2300-2400 because we hit a glass ceiling of ~2100 MMR and now we can't even gain one point a game.
I understand that we, the RBG community, are the minority of a minority faction. And yet, whether we amount to a majority or a minority of the whole on World of Warcraft, we are all united by a common impulse of passion, an interest in progression, and the permanent and aggregate interests of furthering the community of our beloved game. We do not deserve to have our major symbol of competition and skill (rating gains) meaningless. Since win-trading hit us season 10, and, now the Rating Recession as of season 12, we've been treated as third-world citizens on a first-class game. I understand that the majority prefer pet battling, dragon slaying, or even arena, and, that makes the ground I stand on insecure, to say the least. I've been harassed, heckled, and cursed from sites like ArenaJunkies, with members exclaiming: "this is ArenaJunkies, not RBG Junkies! Your kind isn't welcome here." Thus, it is of great importance that within the Blizzard PvP community, as our administrators, you not only balance the Arena community against bugs, but also guard the RBG community against the injustice of changes in Arena that negatively impact RBGs.
I love RBGs, God help me, I do love them. I love them more than my life.
Yours Very Truly,
World's Rank 1 RBG Leader, Bailamos
Please support both of my posts on the WoW forums on this issue with thoughtful comments that contribute to fixing this, screenshots of evidence, and, a sticky request.

I don't think that not being an asshole is '4th grade teacher crap'.
I think that words do have an impact. Obviously, a single post by me will not completely solve the problem, or even come close, maybe. But does that mean I should not do what I can to try to save something I love? Your hopeless negativity is not helpful.
I agree that bans are (obviously) very useful, but that's not the entire picture. It's not like this place is populated by two groups of people:
1. Total fuckwad assholes who are going to be immediately banned.
2. Reasonable, educational, nice posters.
There's a huge spectrum of posters between those two extremes, and bans are not appropriate for most of them. Further, I think a lot of otherwise reasonable people sometimes just don't think before they post. They can easily be closer to #2 than they are today, and I think words can accomplish that.

Posted Nadagast on 21 February 2014 - 12:09 AM
Trolling and assholery puts AJ on a downward spiral. People troll/asshole-it-up, which leads to less people using this as a forum for serious/reasonable discussion, which leads to more trolling, etc. AJ always was and continues to be the most popular place for new players to get into the PvP scene. Any community relies on new members to sustain itself--by making this place a wasteland we are doing nothing but ensuring our own demise.
Before you post a reply or topic, ask yourself: am I being an asshole? If you are, change your post to take a more educational tone. If you're feeling heated about something, take some time to cool off before replying. Don't immediately assume someone is trolling you, some people are just not very knowledgeable. Worst case, if you reply in a calm educational manner, you've posted something informative for the hundreds or thousands of lurkers who will view your reply. These are generally newer PvPers, and anything you do to help sustain them as arena players helps all of us.
On any set of forums, it's easy to forget that almost all of the people reading it are lurkers, who will never make any posts. Lurkers cannot be trolls, they can't be assholes, they are just here to learn or read interesting things. Post interesting, informative content. Post drama if you want, but don't be an asshole. Fuck the trolls, post for the lurkers.

Lewis Hamilton finished Friday's practices in Montreal at the top of the timesheets, edging team-mate Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel...
Lewis Hamilton: "It felt pretty good out there today but we've still got improvements to make and there is more to come
from the set-up and balance tomorrow. This is quite a technical circuit which is all about the kerbs and apexes; you have to have a car that reacts well to the bumps. You're always trying to find the limit so we're not quite where we want to be yet. The Ferraris looked quite close today and the rest of the field seemed closer in general but hopefully not too close! It's very hard to overtake here so pole position is important. Nico looked very quick today as well so I have my work cut out for sure. We'll find out everyone's pace in qualifying tomorrow afternoon so let's wait and see what happens."
Nico Rosberg: "That was a great day and I felt very comfortable in my Silver Arrow. This morning, we worked on some different things with the brakes which didn't quite work out so we had to change that this afternoon. It was much better for the second session so I'm quite happy now with that. But I'm still a tenth off the quickest time so I'll work hard with our engineers tonight to find that extra pace. It's a unique track here and it's very difficult to hit the kerbs just right. It was also great to see so many spectators here already today and I'm looking forward to the rest of the weekend."
Red Bull:
Sebastian Vettel: "It was a bit of a shame to lose some laps; we had something with the gearbox, but fortunately we got it checked and went out again. It meant that we were maybe a bit off the rhythm compared to some of the others, but it seemed to be alright and we still got some good laps completed. I think there's still a lot if improvement we can do, the Mercedes is very quick, but it was okay as a start to the weekend."
Daniel Ricciardo: "The driving was good today, but looking at the time sheets we've got some work to do! We got some good references to go by and we need to put some work in tonight - I enjoy driving around here and there are a lot of fans in the grandstands. It seems that we're close to some of the other teams, so we've just got to extract as much from the cars as we can over the weekend."
Kimi Raikkonen: "Like every Friday, today's programme centred on looking at different set-ups in the first session and a race simulation with both compounds in the second one. This morning, because of a problem on my car, I was unable to run as much as planned and that's never a good thing, because getting in plenty of laps is very important. Thanks to speedy work from the team, in the afternoon, we managed to make up for the run lost in the morning and even if it's too early to make predictions, overall, it didn't go badly and by the end of the day my feeling with the car had improved. I am still not 100% happy with the handling of the F14 T, but I am sure that an analysis of the data we gathered will point us in the right direction for qualifying and the race."
Fernando Alonso: "I am reasonably pleased with the day's testing as we got through a lot of work without encountering any particular problems. We tried some new components and now we must concentrate on getting a good understanding of how they are working. As always on a Friday, we must analyse all the data we have gathered to try and be as well prepared as possible for tomorrow's qualifying, also taking into account the fact that tyre behaviour is very similar to what we saw in Monaco. Certainly, the Supersofts are not like they were in the past and in a race, they last for many laps. For that reason I think there won't be any problems either in qualifying or the first stint of the race."
Felipe Massa: " It was a good Friday. Unfortunately I lost some laps this morning, but in the afternoon we were able to run a lot to understand the set-up, the tyres and the long runs. I was happy with the balance today. I hope we can have a very competitive car on this track and I hope we can fight with Red Bull and Ferrari, which is never easy."
Valtteri Bottas: "It was more or less what we expected. We got some good results from the changes we made from the last race, so it was nice to see some progress. It seems like everyone is still struggling with tyre warm-up with the prime, but the option felt a lot better. I still think we can improve our overall performance from today. I didn't have the perfect lap yet with the supersoft, so I think there's a little bit more to come."

Today we'd like to highlight some of our favorite books from Blurb users: Travel photo books. Sometimes the most stunning photography comes from people who've traveled out of their comfort zones and into the great unknown. So, without further ado, here are photos from some recently made travel books that we loved:
Let's start with a breathtaking two-page spread of a city high in the Andes.
We don't read Russian, but a little research makes us think this beautiful slice of territory is near the Black Sea. If anybody knows more about this location, we'd love to hear about it in the comments.
Sometimes travel is about roughing it, but sometimes it's really, really not. We like to check out pictures of this fabulous rented villa to remind us of the good life.
Meanwhile, the living is also pretty easy up in Ontario – even if the spelling isn't.

Developmental Disability Service System Task Force
This webpage will support the Developmental Disability Service System Task Force (DDSSTF) by keeping interested parties up to date on the actions of the task force and the sharing of information related to its work.
In June 2011, the Washington State Legislature passed, and the Governor signed, Second Substitute Senate Bill (2SSB) 5459. This bill is generally called the "RHC bill." When 2SSB 5459 was passed, the Legislature stated their intent about the developmental disabilities system. The bill states:
It is the intent of the legislature that:
- Community-based residential services supporting people with developmental disabilities should be available in the most integrated setting appropriate to individual needs; and
- An extensive transition planning and placement process should be used to ensure that people moving from a residential habilitation center to a community setting have the services and supports needed to meet their assessed health and welfare needs.
DD Service System Task Force
2SSB 5459 established a new statewide task force that will make recommendations on the development of a system of services for persons with developmental disabilities that is consistent with the goals articulated above. For a complete description of the goals of 2SSB 5459, read the Developmental Disability Service System Task Force Briefing Paper.
The task force shall report their recommendations to the appropriate committees of the Legislature by December 1, 2012.

Current appointments to the Task Force include:

It seems as if our climate is suffering from a bout of amnesia… "Is it spring, fall, or winter?" Who knows.
First, allow me to present you with a few of the statistical oddities of this year's winter weather. The first week of January, per discovery.com, saw these abnormally high temperatures in American cities:
- 44 degrees in Fargo, ND
- 61 degrees in New York City
- 72 in some parts of Colorado.
- In the midwest, some areas are 40 degrees above average temperatures.
At a time when snow normally covers approximately 50% of the nation, there was under 20% coverage as of early January. In fact, I heard on the radio a few weeks ago that local golfers were calling in for tee times!
So what is the cause of this unusual winter? Many people I have talked to are conceding that global warming is to blame. It makes sense, right? Entire regions have vastly higher average temperatures this year than usual. Global warming seems a natural (or un-natural) scapegoat. Not entirely…
There are two forces at work, experts say. The first of which is "La Niña." According to the same discovery.com article cited above, "La Niña conditions have pushed warm water toward Australia in the western Pacific, leaving ocean waters off the American West coast about 5 degrees F colder than usual. As a result, moisture levels are currently low in the atmosphere from California to Washington State" (Sohn). Now, while this phenomenon explains the unusual absence of snow fall, it doesn't quite explain the soaring temperatures.
The other natural occurrence contributing to our winter weather are the two forces known as the "Arctic Oscillation" and the "North Atlantic Oscillation." They work together like gears to alter jet stream patterns accross the U.S (Sohn). Essentially, these two climatic phenomena are working together to push warm air into regions we don't typically see.
Regardless of the cause, most I have spoken with are pleased with the warmer weather. However, I purchased a snowboard in early January in anticipation of finally finding a fun winter activity… a purchase I am currently lamenting.

text: Philosophers and therapists have long theorized about how psychological mechanisms for love, jealousy, anxiety, depression, and many other human characteristics may have evolved over millions of years. In the dawn of the new insights on evolution, provided by Darwin's theories of natural selection, Freud, Jung, and Klein sought to identify and understand human motives, emotions, and information processing as functions deeply-rooted in our evolved history. Despite this promising start and major developments in modern evolutionary psychology, anthropology, and sociobiology, the last fifty years have seen little in the way of therapies derived from an evolutionary understanding of human psychology. the contributors to this timely book illuminate how an evolution-focused approach to psychopathology can offer new insights for different schools of therapy and provide a rationale for therapeutic integration. Genes on the Couch brings together respected clinicians who have integrated evolutionary insights into their case conceptualization and therapeutic interventions. Various psychotherapy schools are represented, and each author provides illustrative examples of the interventions used. Specific topics addressed include the nature of evolved mental mechanisms, regulation/dysregulation of internal processes attachment and kinship in therapy, the importance of internalizing warmth as a therapeutic goal, kin selection and incest avoidance, co-operation and deception in social relations, difficulties in working with certain male clients, gender differences in therapy, and the roles of shame and guilt in treatment.
