VERY pretty! Love you combinations and colors. The green one is especially nice. Great job! Thanks for sharing your fun evening with us. |

I love the 1st one also, is that the center of plate or did you add the hearts? The shells make a very interesting center for the 2nd one. Nice work! TFS Jan |
Hi there Love the plate flowers. I love this site. I never ever leave a message though for someone but I am curious about something? What kind of glue do you all use for the totems and plate flowers? must be a strong one since they all go outside? thanks deezie |
- Posted by grandma_cindy 5 (My Page) on Mon, Sep 20, 10 at 10:31
Deezie, I use what was recommended by the others: GE II clear silicone caulking. It does hold up very well, and is easy to use. You can get it in small tubes (but costly that way if you do very many), or like I buy, the size tubes you'd put in a caulking gun when doing doors or windows. Try it, you'll be hooked! LOL |
Hi All, Thanks for your input and nice comments. Sunnyca, I added the hearts to the first plate. Just ordered some different pieces for trying mosaic and thought it matched my flower. Deezie, I started using E6000 Glue which works great. But from the recommendation from here I have moved on to the GE II clear caulk in the gun. I get both of them at Walmart. Have A Great Day! |

Love them. And yes I do want to see them all! Some of myfriends want to come over to my house and make plate flowers too. Can't wait! I goint to send them your post since most of mine are glass, to give them different ideas of plates to look for. Kathy |

(Change Language: 中文 )The West-East Pipeline Project (WEPP) is one of China's most important energy infrastructure projects. It has enabled Shanghai and the Yangtze River Delta to dramatically increase the use of clean natural gas while reducing its dependence on coal. The WEPP Line 1, which runs from Lunnan, Xinjiang, over 4,000km through nine provinces to reach Shanghai, transports gas for electricity generation and heating.
Working closely with PetroChina, Rolls-Royce provided 19 RB211 gas turbine packages and six motor driven units to the WEPP Line 1.
The industrial RB 211 is derived from the RB211 aero engine, the chosen engine for major airliners, including the Boeing 747. The industrial RB211 is the most reliable and easily maintained industrial gas turbine available today.
For WEPP Line 2, we are providing six compressor packages to increase pressure and efficiency in transporting gas in the western section. The entire Line 2 runs from Horgas, at the Kazakhstan-Xinjiang border, to Guangzhou.

Patch 4.3 PTR: Inactive guild leader replacement {WoW}
Sep 30th 2011 10:47PM I have stepped down as guild leader from a guild I have worked my ass off for the last year and a half for because of this. I am the first to say a guild is a group effort, but its atmosphere, group makeup, and policies mainly come from the man at the top. Who I chose to be officers, and what I asked of them, made the guild what it was. In that sense, the guild was mine.
Knowing that if I go away to play SWTOR for a month means my guild could just vanish in a poof of smoke was the final nail. Being guild master is a stressful enough job as it is without having to worry about it suddenly getting transferred to some random officer because something else was going on. LIke I said, the guild is mine, as far as I am concerned, and that it can be given to someone else is almost an insult. I made it, I nurtured it, I got it up to L25/ 500 unique members.
This almost wouldn't matter, but I can see SWTOR coming out soon and I know I'll want to play it. Feeling trapped into giving up GMship at that point is just not nice - my only real recourse is to pass over the leadership to someone I actually choose right now. Since, as Blizzard has just reminded us all, the guild is not and never was mine. I have given the guildmembers notice that I will be reading through their votes this weekend for the new GM.
This is wrong. When you found a company, it is yours. Sure, you appoint managers to run things, but it's still yours. If you go to Hawaii for a few weeks, the quickest manager with the mouse doesn't become the new owner.
This is an ugly and sad consequence of blizzard making the guild system the be-all and end-all of the game.
Is it time to kill tanking? {WoW}
Aug 25th 2011 11:02PM People seem to be missing that these specialised roles (tank and heals) are both pretty awful for playing 'out there' in the solo game. I've done my dailies and quests as a tank just so I could get the strongest feel for my abilities as I levelled, and I found it painful.
Basically, the way to be a tank is to have a complete specialised gear set, specialised spec, specialised glyphs, particular enchants and gems, and umpteen hours of practice with the role's abilities. Unfortunately, having all those won't make you any good when it comes to questing and dailies, which AFAIK most people still want to do.
Sure you dual spec, but before your dps spec comes online you need to have a whole 'nother fully specialised gear set, specialised glyphs, specialised gems and enchants etc. etc.
I've had a few toons I specced tank/ heals, also heals/ heals, and I have to say I have learned that is one way to turn yourself right off those toons, simply because you are pretty much throwing away your ability to solo play. This probably doesn't matter so much mid patch, but when the new-fangled daily hub comes out, you'll want to be able to jump in and grind out the new Marks of Awesomeness.
Soooo... after all that, my point is that I believe the tank/ healer shortage is from the fact that DPS classes are self contained. If you're going to play a particular spec, more people are going to choose classes that stand on their own two feet when it comes to being able to meet solo content.
Is it time to kill tanking? {WoW}
Aug 25th 2011 10:43PM @MattKrotzer - Unless, of course, those pet classes could only tank by 'channeling' control of their pets. The tradeoff is losing their main abilities while they buff their pet into a more-abilities/better-stats tanking mode. That's not something that should kill PvP but would leave the tanking option open.
Encrypted Text: How to run the Molten Front {WoW}
Jul 20th 2011 7:24PM @Bumblebee
Since Blizzard does essentially nothing to encourage or maintain server balance on PvP servers (and must be just about the only MMORPG that doesn't), it seems somewhat unfair of you to blame the player for being (vastly) outnumbered. Ultimately, because Blizzard takes not steps to keep balance in the game world, that responsiblity has to fall to the players. To ensure everyone has a chance to actually play (as opposed to experience WoW as nothing more than an ever increasing 'res timer') everybody has to exercise a bit of judgement as to whether chain ganking every red name is in fact the socially responsible thing to do.
Encrypted Text: How to run the Molten Front {WoW}
Jul 20th 2011 6:11PM I play on a highly imbalanced PvP server (Thaurissan Alliance), and I find this article distressing. For every one Alliance questing there, there are something like 16 horde. The fact that this article is encouraging people to 'stop the other faction progressing' is verging on appalling - we're all human and we all just want to quest. You yourself have said Step 1 is to 'finish your own dailies', which shows you understand why people are there.
Perhaps it is less of a problem on a more balanced server, but to be honest if even a small fraction of the horde acted the way this article is endorsing, us Alliance couldn't step foot out of the sanctuary.
I would like to encourage people to think about whether the ganking is obnoxious and petty, or if there is a strategic point to it. You could argue that if you are a Horde making Alliance take 2 hours to complete their dailies instead of 45 minutes, then all you are doing is screwing up the BG queue times even more for horde because there are less Alliance around to queue.
Cross-realm Dungeon Finder premium service coming soon {WoW}
May 17th 2011 11:48PM Saying we didn't have it so nothing lost is only half the story.
It's not what this added service doesn't add to us, its what it gives to the players in the game who do pay. In other words, a game that was (in principle) equal to all players suddenly becomes much cushier to those who want to pay more. The phsychological effect on those who cannot or will not pay the additional subscription could be a serious issue for WoW. Would you still enjoy the game as much knowing that you were running around in a world where a lot of other people were having an easier time because they forked out piles of extra RL cash? I know I wouldn't - it cheapens the entire 'role playing' experience knowing paying money changes your experience.
Patch 4.1: Guide to the new Zul'Gurub, part 2 {WoW}
Apr 27th 2011 4:54AM All I have to say about Jin'do is WTFFFFF?
Our guild group cleared every boss, but fell apart on Jindo, who was an absolute nightmare. No matter WHAT we did there were always about ten too many spirits than we could handle. 'Kite them!' you say, but the one they always agroed on was me, the healer. I could move about half the time, tops, and keep everyone up - not fast enough to avoid spirits pouring in from two sides of the platform.
We tried having dedicated spirit bashers. We tried double-healing. We tried swappign heals. We tried swapping spirit basher. We tried tanking them. We tried ignoring them. We tried everything, and the heals (me) who is a perfectly capable player would get boxed/ clipped/ tackled in the end no matter what. I would be going down to 8 adds watever we did. It was a case of heal or move, but not both.
I feel that our problem was a lack of strong ranged dps, as the meleers would hit them then get smaked for 25k+ shadow damage per hit, which really, really hurts when you're attacking several at once. How on earth you are supposed to 'not let them distract you' when they are that dangerous I do not know.
4.1 PTR patch notes updated for April 7 {WoW}
Apr 7th 2011 10:10PM I can relieve you of your worries.
The new incentives will encourage expierienced, geared tanks to run a lot more, just as it will encourage new people to start tanking. I would say over all you'll get an increase in both so you might not notice any net difference in tank quality.

Breakfast Topic: Does world PvP feel dishonorable? {WoW}
Nov 6th 2010 4:37PM 'Duking it out over a titanium node', to me, is the real reason you would (should?) be on a PvP server. The excitement of going up against an enemy who is competing for the same resources you are is at the heart of world PvP.
The problem, of course, is that a *lot* of people kill the opposing faction when there is blatantly no competition for any resource whatsoever. They kill you when they get no honor, when they aren't competing for a quest spawn or a gathering resource. They kill you when you aren't even near anything of any value.
They either don't have a concept of you as being anything more than a red pixel that its fun to stomp, or worse, they do and they actually enjoy upsetting you.
Personally, I have no (well, little) problem being ganked for some kind of in-game reason, such as competition for resources or quest spawns. Being ganked when there are abundant quest spawns or no nearby game objectives is silly and dishonorable.

What is FTTC – Fibre to the Cabinet?
Fibre to the cabinet refers to BT's next generation network which offers faster download and upload speeds via fibre optic cabling. FTTC brings more capacity by connecting your local exchange to the nearest "cabinet" by fibre optic cables instead of copper.
This brings faster speeds to your local cabinet which will usually be within 300m of your premises. The last part of the journey is made via your existing copper cable but, because it is just a short hop, there is little loss of speed meaning that download of 40mbps and upload of 10mbps are achievable.
Because existing cables are used into your premises, the cost of fibre to the cabinet is very reasonable. There is usually a small connection charge, plus the cost of a new router which will better handle the FTTC service.
After this the monthly charge depends upon your usage. There are a variety of packages available and each provider will have their own variations making direct comparison difficult.
Enhanced care levels and SLAs are available in support of your new service for a small extra charge.
To see if FTTC is available in your area or to discuss pricing please contact us.

On the rare occasions that board meetings lead the evening news, it's usually for the wrong reasons. Members are seen angrily pointing fingers at one another or unable to contain outbursts from frustrated constituents. When communication appears so strained, it's no wonder the public presumes that not much good happens at such gatherings.
NC State Professor Jessica Katz Jameson has spent more time in board meetings over the last several years than have many members of nonprofits boards. She's seen some battles, but data demonstrates that she's witnessed more success - or, at minimum, actions intended to generate success.
In collaboration with colleague Barbara Metelsky, a former director of the Institute for Nonprofits, Jameson found consistent outcomes in three related studies that board members typically conduct themselves in a professional manner and focus on core issues that are relevant to positive progress. Importantly, their research points to ways that boards can communicate more effectively to stay on task and achieve mission specific goals.
"We are grateful to the four nonprofit organizations that allowed us to sit in on their board meetings for a full year," says Jameson, who will present their findings, "Nonprofit Board Communication and Generative Governance," from 3-4:30 p.m. Thursday at a meeting of the Community of Nonprofit Scholars (CONS). The event will be held in Room 102 of the Wake County Cooperative Extension Center, 4001-E Carya Drive, Raleigh.
"Without their support we would not have been able to gain such a clear picture about governance: how it's enacted, how people communicated during board meetings, and the implications of the communication," she adds. "Their honest interactions helped us to identify practical takeaways that any board can put into place to be more effective."
The first study examined 10 key responsibilities of board members, which were coded and counted across a full year of meetings. Not surprisingly, 37 percent of attention was given to determining, monitoring and strengthening the organization's programs and services.
"That's what they should be doing," Jameson says. "Fiscal oversight is the next closest thing, while it was under 14 percent of all meeting communication. And attention to organizational mission, purpose and structure was only .13 percent."
While the latter rate reflected the fact that the board's mission was well understood, Jameson said its failure to be mentioned more often was striking. Additionally, if a question was framed in a given context - for example, as a fiscal matter - it rarely was examined from another point of view, such as whether a decision might have legal implications.
"It suggests that they were not taking as full an examination of a topic as they could have," she says. "There should be more of an intentionality to look at all perspectives."
In contrast, the second study examined eight discrete "episodes," four each from two organizations, in which decisions were being made. This study was led by Melinda Leonardo, a doctoral student in Communication Rhetoric and Digital Media. Elements such as agreement or disagreement, acknowledgement and interruption were measured as types of communication interactions. Agreement accounted for 28 percent of discussion, with disagreement registering just 7 percent. So what else was going on?
"There was a fairly high level of interruptions, people talking over one another to make their point," Jameson said. "It's understandable that board members are passionate, but in those moments it may be more difficult to consider the views of others, especially newer members, women and other under-represented groups."
However, when quieter members were specifically asked to offer feedback, they almost always did. "It shows that boards have to identify ways to keep all members positively engaged," Jameson says.
The third and most recent study closely examined 25 percent of all meeting content for the same organizations in the second study, but from the angle of task-oriented and socially-oriented communication. Was communication focused on providing information? Was it adversarial or did it build consensus? How much of board meeting activity is problem solving/decision making?
"We also looked at individual speaking turns and what people were doing with their communication," Jameson says. "The reason we looked at this so closely is to find those features that help to frame positive actions. If boards can actively avoid situations where communication becomes detrimental, they will be that much closer to achieving their goals."

- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Barnegat already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Barnegat breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Barnegat paves the way for another one to be saved.

Hot Water Music seems to work in just the opposite way. Once you've brought one of the act's discs home, it sinks roots into your CD player; an act of God is almost required to extract it once it's spinning. Known for its blistering but intelligent punk songs, heavy with distortion, and howling, unforgiving vocals, the Gainesville, Florida-based band got started in 1994 and has released six full-length albums since then. After a brief hiatus in 1997, which was called a breakup at the time but lasted less than a year, Hot Water Music returned in 1999 with No Division. That record perforated eardrums in all the right circles, and the band earned itself a spot on last year's Warped Tour, with acts like Snapcase and Alien Ant Farm and that perpetual whipping boy for all punk fans older than fifteen, Green Day.
A Flight and a Crash, Hot Water Music's first release since signing with punk heavyweight Epitaph, has been well received, though some have questioned the album's turn toward slightly more tuneful, less straightahead punk songs.
"A lot of that has to do with the fact that we're better at writing songs now, kind of textbook songs, more along the lines of Bruce Springsteen or something like that -- as opposed to what people were expecting," says bass player Jason Black.
That's not to say that Hot Water Music is starting to put out music that sounds anything like Jersey's most famous son; A Flight and a Crash contains no ballads, nothing about screen doors slamming or being born in the USA. Rather, Black believes that he and the other bandmembers are at a level of songwriting and playing skill where their imaginations are no longer constrained by their abilities. Besides, never changing means never growing, either.
"We've been doing it for over seven years now...I mean, if we keep [making] the same record over and over, it's going to get real boring real fast -- for us, anyway," Black says. "The thing we try to explain to people is that you're allowed to like one [record] more than others, you know? We'll put out other ones you might not like as much as this one, even. They're all a little different, and...it's always going to be that way with us, I think."
The fine line between keeping longtime fans happy and playing from the heart is a difficult one to navigate. But the players' confidence in what they are doing lends them credibility, and it translates into music on the CD; there is nothing calculated about it. The songs still come from a place that is dark, emotional and real. Now as much as ever, Hot Water's music challenges us to look within and confront ideas and feelings most of us routinely shut off or bury under noisy and distracting layers of the modern world: work, television, shopping, Prozac.
On songs like "Sons and Daughters," Hot Water Music cuts through those distractions and addresses the self-delusional nature of life in modern America: "Still we're all under lock and key/Who are we but savages hooked on accessories/Numb and dumb to what else we could do or be."
And truthfully, in the case of Flight, the alarmist cry of "Not the same!" is somewhat overwrought. Some of the tunes are slightly more melodic, but the band has not gone Vegas, by any means. The songs are still hard-edged, centered around the raspy vocals and distorted guitars of Chuck Ragan and Chris Wollard and laid on top of a firm and brawny rhythm section anchored by drummer George Rebelo and Black's bass.
"[Flight's] not really that much different, to us," says Black. "It's also hard for us to be super-objective about it, though, since we wrote the songs. It's got better production. We just had a better recording situation; we had time to spend on the record. We probably did a lot of stuff that we would have done on a number of past records had we had the time and the know-how to do it. The differences that people are taken aback by are things that we've wanted to do for a long time."
Touring constantly is also something the band has done for a long time. Hot Water Music is currently on the five-week Plea for Peace/Take Action tour, an annual event designed to raise money for various worthy causes.
"Each year they do a benefit tour and a benefit compilation, and this year it's for the National Hopeline Network, which is a suicide-prevention [organization]," says Black. "They're trying to get a bill through Congress to have suicide-prevention funding be part of the child health-care bill."

Capricorn Forecasts for 2012
Capricorn, here are some different angles on your long-term destiny: my forecasts for you in 2012. PART 1 Suzan-Lori Parks is a celebrated American playwright who has won both a Pulitzer Prize and a MacArthur Foundation "Genius" Grant. During the time between November 2002 and November 2003, she wrote a new short play every day -- a total of 365 plays in 365 days. I think you could be almost as prolific as that in 2012, Capricorn. Whatever your specialty is, I believe you will be filled with originality about how to express it. You're also likely to have the stamina and persistence and, yes, even the discipline necessary to pull it off. * PART 2 In Botticelli's painting The Birth of Venus, the goddess of beauty and love is shown arriving on dry land for the first time after having been born in the ocean. Naked, she is trying to cover her private parts with her hand and thigh-length hair. Her attendant, a fully clothed nymph, is bringing a cloak to cover her up. Analyzing this scene, art critic Sister Wendy suggests it's actually quite sad. It symbolizes the fact that since we humans can't bear the confrontation with sublime beauty, we must always keep it partly hidden. Your assignment in the coming year, Capricorn, is to overcome this inhibition. I invite you to retrain yourself so that you can thrive in the presence of intense, amazing, and transformative beauty. * PART 3 Happiness isn't a state you acquire by luck. It takes hard work and relentless concentration. You have to rise up and rebel against the nonstop flood of trivial chaos and meaningless events you're invited to wallow in. You have to overcome the hard-core cultural conditioning that tempts you to assume that suffering is normal and the world is a hostile place. It's really quite unnatural to train yourself to be peaceful and mindful; it's essentially a great rebellion against an unacknowledged taboo. Here's the good news: 2012 will be an excellent time for you to do this work. What new influences will be headed your way in 2013? What fresh resources will you be able to draw on? How can you conspire with life to create the best possible future for yourself? Tune in to my EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPES to hear your long-range previews for the coming year. As a bonus, here's another long-term horoscope for you to contemplate. It covers the second half of 2012 and beyond. Part 4 "If I had my life to live over," said Nadine Stair at age 85, "I would perhaps have more actual problems, but I'd have fewer imaginary ones." I suggest you write out that quote, Capricorn, and keep it close to you for the next six months. Your task, as I see it, will be to train yourself so you can expertly distinguish actual problems from imaginary ones. Part of your work, of course, will be to get in the habit of immediately ejecting any of the imaginary kind the moment you notice them creeping up on you. |

We grow old… we grow old….
Which is a bit of a bugger.
There are times, especially when you are standing in the kitchen, usually holding a spoon, when you wonder why you went in there…. Then, inevitably, if you still have a cup of tea cooling somewhere about the rest of the house you may have overlooked. Especially so in your haste to get to the kitchen and get a spoon for….
Well, for whatever it was.
Of course, in your mind you are always that age you think of when you think of yourself. Usually it is an age when you were young and the world spread itself out for you. A time when every time you ended up in the kitchen holding the spoon you knew exactly why you were there and just what that spoon was for.
If there is no cup of tea in your near vicinity and you are fairly sure there is not one elsewhere in the house, perhaps you have come into the kitchen to measure something out with a teaspoon.
It is now advisable to check to see if you are cooking something in the kitchen… that could explain the spoon.
Not only does the spoon remains unexplained, but where has all that time gone? Only yesterday, it seems, it was the 1970s and glam rock was all the rage, but it seems the purveyors of so much of your musical youth are pensioners… or dead.
Not only that the clothes you are wearing are – apparently – back in fashion… yet again. Although, it has to be said that none of the musical heroes of your youth were ever famed as lead spoon player in your favourite bands. As far as you are aware too, despite your clothes being fashionable again, there has been no media article on this year's must-have fashion accessory – the spoon.
So it can't be that either.
Eventually, you know too that the wheel will fall off time's winged chariot for you too. You know too, your sudden departure from this mortal coil will always be remembered for your final moment, remembered only as: found dead in the kitchen… holding a spoon.
And no-one will ever know just why you chose, at your moment of death, to go into the kitchen, or even why you were holding that spoon.

Bulldogs Beat Rainbows in Tourney Opener
May 23, 2012
By Stephen Trembley
Related Features... MESA, Ariz. --- The Fresno State baseball team sliced and diced its way to an 8-2 opening round victory over the fourth-seeded Hawai'i Rainbows on Wednesday afternoon at HoHoKam Stadium. The Bulldogs' Aaron Judge, a sophomore outfielder and two-time first-team All-WAC selection, erupted at the plate, going 4-for-5 with a RBI triple, two doubles, a single and scored the game-tying run in the fourth to spark Fresno State to an eight-run stretch in which the 'Dogs built an 8-1 lead. Fresno State took the lead in the fifth frame when senior second baseman Patrick Hutcheson's fifth home run of the season cleared the right field fence to push the Bulldogs in front 2-1 and turned to cruise control after scoring six times in the sixth. Senior pitcher and second-team All-WAC honoree Thomas Harlan pitched 6.1 innings of solid work in striking out five and scattering eight hits. Freshman William Munro relieved Harlan in the seventh and tossed 2.2 innings of scoreless ball to finish off the win. Neither Harlan or Munro allowed a walk. With the win, the Bulldogs improved to 23-3 in WAC Tournament games since 2006. Seven of the nine Bulldogs in the starting line-up logged at least one hit with Judge (4), Hutcheson (2) and catcher Austin Wynns (2) posting multi-hit games. The eight runs were each scored by different Bulldogs and the five doubles by Fresno State players tied a season-high. Fresno State (26-25) will return to HoHoKam Stadium in the winner's bracket on Thursday to face top-seeded New Mexico State (35-20) at 7 p.m. "Getting in the winner's bracket is huge," Fresno State head baseball coach Mike Batesole said. "We had a couple of seniors who had outstanding days. We've been playing our best baseball for the past month and that's what you want to be doing come playoff time." All of the Bulldogs' postseason contests will be broadcast live on AM 940 KYNO.

Imo the holy form for priests is... chakra? aoe form and direct heal form. gg
Spiritual Guidance: How to play an Atonement priest {WoW}
Aug 1st 2011 9:00PM An easy way is to take the breakdown of your healing via recount, most of the time you will find crittable heals taking a greater % of your healing then mastery effected heals, so at the moment, after 4.2's crit healing buff, i would say.
CRIT! (It also helps you do more atonement healing)
Spiritual Guidance: How to play an Atonement priest {WoW}
Aug 1st 2011 8:59PM i play a slightly different style of atonement priest.
Similar to arcane mages, i use holy fire and smite spam when massive healing is not yet necessary, to conserve mana, how? I macro archangel to the big heals in order to return mana and increase their effectiveness. Using archangel this way, makes your smite healing almost costless. (you can also opt to use archangel asap at 5 stacks just to get the mana back asap).
An idea about atonement, is really to ignore it if u can help it, and macro to other spells, because you will still be healing as per normal, but the proc helps. (Macro it to big spells for buff to healing, or macro it to holy fire to use it on cooldown during atonement spam for mana returns)
Atonement actually does very little HPS, so its not viable to use atonement when heavier healing is required. Hence for normal healing mode, as our good article writer has mentioned before, macroed "Inner Focus" to each Greater Heal, Binding Heal, Prayer of Healing, or Flash Heal. By talenting "Train of Thought", Greater Heal is my prefered heal when penance is on cooldown, due to the talent actually indirectly reducing the cost of greater heal by 11% by making "Inner Focus" come off cooldown sooner.
As for AOE healing, I would spam heavily Prayer of Healing alternating on groups, this makes good use of Divine Aegis proc and also "Prayer of Healing Glyph". Its good to remember to use PW:S to proc rapture when spamming PoH.
I do not take Strength of Soul, due to the fact that:
1) If the raid is taking damage, i will be raid healing
2) If noone is dying, i may as well use atonement healing (helps dps and saves mana by pumping Archangel at 5 stacks asap)
3) I do not spam PW:S, as I use it to save others when they are low and in need of healing immediately, and only to proc rapture.
As for stats, it seems that crit will outweigh mastery (at least for me), as most of our healing % with this strategy are affected by crit, and less % of stats are effected by mastery (this is based on my recount breakdown on most fights with manual crafting, and also rawr model).
A non related to this post but I think worth mentioning, i guess is the use of "Focused Will" for disc priests, as there is a lot of damage being taken by a player in Firelands, by reducing the amount of damage taken on successive attacks, it will really save your life, allowing you to focus on others that need healing immediately too (I find it more effective to reduce damage then a 2 minute cooldown medium heal, which is only slightly more then PW:S yourself).
My toon is Shadowyvaine-Blackrock (US) in case anyone wants to check my spec. It is a little strange that I skip some talents that others will find atrocious but really..
1) I do not have mana issues due to maximizing rapture procs so no need for faster shadowfiends, Instead I use it very early in the fight (80% mana, rapture on CD) to get it a 2nd time.
2) I do not take "Borrowed Time" because I find that other talents are more required over an occasional quicker heal, which may help, but again, other talents matter more.
Happy healing.
Breakfast Topic: What do you collect in game? {WoW}
Aug 1st 2011 8:37AM trivia items and titles.. that being said, as a massive altaholic its spread over a few toons...
Breakfast Topic: What addons can you not live without? {WoW}
Jul 19th 2011 8:09AM hmm... i've gotten used to using wow's default raid frames, its pretty useful eventho its been buggy since 4.2.
Breakfast Topic: What addons can you not live without? {WoW}
Jul 19th 2011 8:07AM altoholic as i run 10 toons, DBM for raiding, Postal cos clicking everything is annoying, Ingela's Rapture for my disc priest, PoMTracker again for my priest, SexyCooldown, and of course, Recount.
Breakfast Topic: How do you make your characters? {WoW}
Jun 22nd 2011 8:06AM After the main, I had made my characters based on what professions I would take next, followed by what class would benefit from that profession the most in Wrath. After the 6th toon I had read about the Pre-Cata quest lines, Zalazane/Gnomerangan and wanted to participate, also as they were removing the Wrathgate questline, I decided to level another toon on the opposite faction. The last 3 were filling the slots of classes that I do not have.
At the moment I've got them to 85 and rotate the 9 toons on and off (with 1 I refuse to play due to the need to do massive rekeybinding)...
Breakfast Topic: What keeps you playing? {WoW}
May 23rd 2011 8:40AM I currently have 9 lvl 85s and 1 lvl 83 (leveling this now)
Each toon has more of less raided at some point of time (wrath or now) half have been in regular weekly runs (mains or alts). 8 of them can que for zg/za, 5 of them are raiding quality...only 1 used to raid heroic..
Now? I am satisfied crafting and playing AH, raiding multiple nights a week seems weak way to spend time now... and the urge to strangulate others at times.
Taking a more casual approach but still spending as much time is probably what drove me to make that many alts, also the habit of speed-run/gearing toons to break the record each time. Each later toon cheats with the benefit of what profession each other toon can carry over to/Boa avaliable.
Also, each class/spec is uniquely different, its nice to see the game from different point of roles and playstyle.
P/S: due to having a lot of alts, I had to stop looking at achievements made for one hardcore toon, like 100 mounts/the exalted. I still intend to get Anzu on all toons tho, 3 down, 7 to go.
WoW Rookie: How to learn mouse turning {WoW}
Apr 15th 2011 6:19AM i technically mastered it by
1) doing AutoCAD at work..
2) raiding a lot.. requires turning at times...
Breakfast Topic: How are you managing your alts? {WoW}
Apr 14th 2011 11:54AM heh... im one of those kind of guys that... have 10 toons.. one of each.
so far 7 are 85, leveling can be fast, once you leveled a few it gets the same.. its the rep that matters. so to get the guys up and running fast, only quest in the areas where the rep benefits the class. and then some boe gear (a lot of gold and space for professions come up with many toons, makes it easy/cheap to produce/buy gear) and start running heroics.
getting into a raid is another story.. till date 1 alt managed to run a few weeks of alt raids from the main raiders. and another 2 managed to pug 5/6 bwd.. but thats about it.
also, altoholic is a must when managing that amount of alts..

I got this for only $6 from the discontinued bin during the columbous day little sale, so the price was just right. I didn't think it would be any good. I am very pale. I don't just mean a natural fair color opposed to deeply suntanned. I mean PALE. lightest skin color on the chart. I thought this would make me look oompa loompa orange or too brown and dirty but it actually looks GOOD. I apply it heavily on my cheeks and it gives me a perfect peachy bronze flush that looks like it came from a day in the sun, but not sunburn, just some "color." I love this. but I don't love the regular mosaic bronzers. they're supposed to be the same product just different packaging, but I guess the color combination of the regular mosaics don't create the same effect as the bronze goddess compact. they're too brown. :\
I just picked this up today. Let me say that I have very fair skin and it does not make me look dirty or orange...which we all know, is a plus. I also like this product because it doesn't have a major perfume smell. I would recommend it to other fair skinned women.
I went into VS last week and picked this up. I really liked the color palette because it's a bunch of bronze inspired colors situated next to each other in the compact and if you swirl your brush around in all of them (I tend to favor the deeper shades to bring out my tanned skin) you end up with this totally natural, "I-just-got-off-the-beach" look instead of some fake, orange crap.
$17.50 USD was a little pricy even for me, but I do enjoy using this product.
Another added bonus is the compact, I guess it's redone for this season and it's definitely cute with flowers on the front of it.

I thought nothing could equal my beloved Armani but I was mistaken! This VS bronzer is terrific. Because it is a mosaic with a range of colors you can really tailor how dark you end up. The powder has a natural finish that isn't cakey or obvious looking. I am glad I gave this a whirl.

I bought this today, and since it's the Semi-Annual Sale, got it for $8.75. It's really great! Most bronzer powders are way too dark, but this is perfect! It gives me a glowy bronze look (even though I have fairly light skin) and doesn't look dirty or too dark at all. I love it!

This is a pretty good bronzer. Bronze Goddess is a great make-up collection. This shade is not to dark it is subtle but gives you a nice glow.

This is a repackaged version of the regular Mosaic Bronzer for Spring 2004. At first I thought it was too sheer, but in natural light it gave me a summery glow with just the faintest hint of shimmer. I love the design printed in the product. $17.50 is a good price but the brush is an extra $8. I will definitely repurchase the regular version when this runs out.

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.2
Version and / or Patch Used: Benchmark Demo
Timedemo or Level Used: Built-in Test
Developer Homepage: http://www.ubi.com/UK/default.aspx
Product Homepage: http://www.hawxgame.com/
Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2 is an arcade-style flight action game developed by Ubisoft Romania and published by Ubisoft. The game is the sequel to Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X., released in 2009.
The game begins with Colonel David Crenshaw participating in a routine patrol mission in the Middle East. After halting an insurgent attack, a volley of missiles is fired at the Air Force base that Crenshaw was stationed at, with one of the missiles disabling Crenshaw's aircraft, resulting Crenshaw being in enemy captivity. A joint strike force composed of the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, and a Ghost Recon squad executes an operation to rescue Crenshaw. In Scotland, Royal Navy Pilot Colin Munro encounters an unidentified passenger aircraft that explodes from an on-board bomb when undergoing training exercise. In Russia, an air force squadron led by Colonel Denisov and Captain Dmitri Sokov engages separatist aircraft but is ordered to retreat from the region after numerous Russian military installations have been attacked.
H.A.W.X. 2 favors the NVIDIA offerings and we can clearly see that here. Both the new cards struggle to get that 60 FPS we want at these high in game settings, but if you dropped them down just slightly the HD 6670 would offer some good numbers while the HD 6570 would need a bit more of a major decrease.
Considering that H.A.W.X. 2 isn't all that old a game, though, the numbers these cards get aren't too bad.

Well... the day has come! The day that Facebook forced me to go from the old format to the new (ok, not so new) timeline version! I've been holding out on this change because I was never really a fan of their big update. I mean, the idea of a "timeline" is cool... but the page loads are ridiculously slow. Anyway, as soon as I realized that I was automatically converted to timeline, I started thinking about my cover photo! What in the world was I going to have as my cover photo?? Especially since I'm more of a square photo kind of girl (instagram lover) than a long horizontal rectangle! I started clicking through some of my friend's pages and instantly found a common theme - 1. a photo of their bridal party 2. a photo of their newborn baby and 3. a beach landscape of some sort. Well, two out of three of those were not even an option for me... so I knew I had to get to work in photoshop! And... here is what I came up with:
What do you think?? I love it!! :) And, since I love it so much, I want to share it with you! {Email me} if you are interested in having a custom cover photo for your personal Facebook account (sorry, no blog or company Facebook pages at this time)!
Have a happy Tuesday!! xxoo.

PTC mayor, council double their pay
At their first full meeting of the new year, the Peachtree City Council gave themselves a pay boost, doubling their salaries.
The restored pay raises for the mayor and council members will cost the city $33,000 a year.
The raises will double the mayor's salary from $9,000 to $18,000 a year and council members pay from $6,000 to $12,000 a year.
Councilman Terry Ernst noted that the city employees got a pay raise this year and got bonuses the two previous years, so he felt it was time for council to restore the salary increase for mayor and council.
Councilman Mike King added that when council raised the salaries several years ago, they had good reason to do so, adding that the city will have a study this year on the compensation package for all city employees.
"It's not that any of the five of us up here need the money so to speak," King said. "It's more reimbursement for service and if you want to hold it against me that I make $1,000 a month, like I said before ... If I'm not worth it, fire me in two years, it's as simple as that."
Councilman Eric Imker said the news last month that the city's unaudited budget figures for last year ended $977,000 to the good instead of the projected $700,000 dip into cash reserves, was enough reason for him to approve the salary increases for mayor and council.
The new five-year financial model now shows no millage rate increases and includes money to invest into public works for cart path and road maintenance, Imker added.
"I don't need the money, but I think I'm worth more than a couple of bucks an hour for my time," Imker said.
The pay increases were approved in 2007 but were put on hold in the budget before they could be awarded in 2010, and they have gone unfunded in each subsequent budget year as the city has clamped down on spending, including the elimination of city landscaping crews who were replaced by contract services.
and not need. I don't remember any one of you mentioning when you were 'politicing' that you were going to give yourselves a raise. If you don't need it except to feed your ego, why not let it go into the general fund to cover some of the expenses of the city> Surprised to find we have such a 'surplus' when we were supposed to really be wanting in the finance department just a short time ago. There are plenty of places that money could be put to better use.
this is outrageous!
The last Administration was outrageous, that is for sure.
I think the point of most pay raises like this are to get them done to encourage more people to run for office in the future. Usually the current members voting on the increase should not benefit from the increase. The fact that these council members do receive the raise is a bit unorthodox, but the amount in question is peanuts.
You never want to create a pay structure where the elected person receives more than they can earn or are worth in the private sector - like Brown on county commission, but I think we are a long way from that in PTC.
What ever happened to us in FC as it relates to elected public service? We have many, many folks who give themselves everyday to the community. Church servants, scout leaders, sport coaches, ect... Who spend time giving back to the community, and many times out of pocket.
Many on here ridicule elected officials who vote for themselves and call it tacky. Is it any less tacky to vote oneself a 100% raise as one of the first orders of business?
Are they worth the money? In most cases, yes, and more. For some, a decrease may be in order.
If we look at payment for services, wouldn't the BOE, be the most deserving, based on responsibility? After all, they manage the largest budget. Shouldn't Dr. Barrow make more money than Mr. Rapson?
I respect Dr. Marchman coming on here last week calling out elected officials to consider their positions service to the community and only reimbursed for those fees related to their duties.
How about we become innovative? Base pay is set low and increases based on what one accomplishes the previous year. If they provide a method to save taxpayer money, they earn a fee based on the savings. If they vote for a needless tax increase, their pay stays the same. Wouldn't that make one go the extra mile? Grade all in December each year and base pay on what each brought to the table. When they know how we feel they can take one of two paths. Work harder and earn more money, or take the easy path and just get by. This would also save the voters from being mocked that if we're unhappy, by the elected who tell us they will just take their ball and go home if we don't like it.
"I don't need the money, but I think I'm worth more than a couple of bucks an hour for my time," Imker said.
Not really. But hey! Enjoy it while you can...which will hopefully be the next election.
Then why not give it to the orphans at Christin City. they do.

Coloring and giving eggs at springtime probably goes back to ancient Egyptian, even Greek and Roman times. A sign of new life, the egg became the Easter Egg, porbably during medieval Germany, where special eggs were given to children on Easter morning.
We probably have the Germans to thank for the Easter Bunny, where it was first mentioned in writing in the 1500s. By the early 1800s, Germans were making edible Easter bunnies. And, the Easter bunny was introduced to American children by German settlers in the 1700s.
Easter baskets are made to look like birds' nests. Lined with grass, they were a safe and cozy place for eggs. Today's Easter baskets, lined with "grass." are a safe and cozy place for JELL-O EGG JIGGLERS, jelly beans, chocolate bunnies and other treats.
JELL-O® JIGGLERS® and JELL-O EGG JIGGLERS have been kid favorites for several years now. Check out our great new JELL-O® Bean mold in the JELL-O® Corner Store and make your own JIGGLERS® in all your favorite colors. Try JELL-O Beans for a pretty and delicious treat.
The custom of the Easter Egg Roll in this country got started when John Payne Todd, son of President James Madison and his wife Dolly, told his mother that children of ancient Egypt rolled eggs outside the pyramids. While that bit of historical trivia cannot be proven, a White House Easter Egg Roll has taken place, usually on the South Lawn, since the fourth presidency. Humpty Dumpty has been known to make an appearance at the annual Easter Egg Roll.

The scary new connection between bisphenol A and heart disease
You take steps to protect your ticker: You exercise, eat pretty well, and work on keeping your stress in check. But now there's a new threat to your heart's health to watch out for: bisphenol A.
Bisphenol A, or BPA, is a hormone-disrupting chemical found in things like canned soup, plastics, cash register receipts, and even baby formula. While experts have been warning about its dangers for a while now, a new study published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation is the first to find a direct link between higher BPA exposure in healthy adults and a greater risk of developing heart disease down the line.
Researchers looked at urine samples from a decade ago from hundreds of healthy adults, then checked to see who developed cardiovascular disease within a 10-year period. Those who developed heart disease had higher BPA concentrations in their urine at the beginning of the 10-year period compared to those who remained heart-disease-free.
The findings "add to the evidence that BPA may be an additional contributor to heart disease risk, alongside the major risk factors, such as smoking, high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels," says senior study author Tamara Galloway, PhD, professor of the University of Exeter.
What's of particular note with this study is that it suggests everyone is at risk to the harmful effects of BPA—not just developing fetuses and infants, as many researchers previously believed. "This study suggests that adults are sensitive to this chemical, and probably other chemicals. There probably is no safe period of exposure," says Laura Vandenberg, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow of biology at the Center for Developmental and Regenerative Biology at Tufts University in Massachusetts.
BPA is one of the most heavily produced chemicals in the world, so it's impossible to completely avoid, but there are steps you can take to reduce your exposure. Here's how:

There are disturbing shades there of the theories some hold that homosexuals can be "reprogrammed," and it paints Sylvanas in a terrible light either way.

Who believed that Nokia would release a decent MeeGo based phone right after they announced their deal with Microsoft and started FUD'ing their developer community? I certainly wasn't expecting this. Although the N9 looks pretty good, with both - hard- and software, and the Swipe interface seems to be compelling, Nokia didn't stop FUD'ing. Stephen Elop himself announced that there will be no second MeeGo based phone from Nokia.
This is an entirely new marketing technique to me. I always thought it would be very harmful to a plattform to announce its death before even one phone was delived to a customer. Why should any developer bother even looking at the N9 - even if she or he already is a MeeGo developer? At the moment it is really hard to understand the intentions of Nokia and why to bear their indecisiveness.

Locate a Dealer
Locate a John Deere Dealer :
Boggy fields, deep mud and steep inclines can pose to a tough challenge for even the most powerful wheeled tractor. You need a tracked solution.
The new John Deere 8345RT is the answer. It gives you more performance and comfort than ever. The massive undercarriage puts more power to the ground, while the tracks means less soil compaction. The ride comfort with our exclusive AirCushion is great but what really makes a difference is John Deere AutoPowr infinitely variable transmission (IVT).
The John Deere 8345RT delivers consistent performance at reduced engine speeds and operation speeds from 0.05 to 42 km/h with the AutoPower transmission. Thanks to the AirCushion suspension it's a comfortable ride all the way up to the 42 km/h road speed, so you can cover more ground and do more work in less time.

Good Lord! What happened to us? What happened to all our plans to keep you all informed as we journeyed around the world?
In short, lots of things!
As noted in the last post, Jeff's job took him to San Francisco. For 4 months. Right before our trip. That left Jennifer and the kids home in Idaho, alone, with the job of finalizing everything for our trip. But one very big thing threw a kink into the whole works. Due to the job change, our little family was going to move to San Francisco!
Now, Jennifer was totally up for the change. The kids, notsomuch. But they were troopers, and got in all of their friend time before we left. The problem was, we had to not only gather and pack for our RTW trip (keeping in mind everything we brought was being carried on our backs, so weight was a major concern), we also had to decide what we were moving to SF with us, and what we could live without and put into storage. THIS was a difficult task for Jennifer to accomplish.
It all got done, we dotted all the i's and crossed all the t's. We left our dog with Jennifer's parents, and jumped on the plane. And Jennifer figured once that happened, there was nothing left to do but relax and enjoy all the work that went into making this moment happen.
So, now that we are home, settled, and back to normal, we can talk about our trip. All the stories, the adventures, and the beauty. We can't wait to share it all with you!
