- Santa Barbara Verdicchio 2013 Product #28073 (In Stock)
Definitely the best vintage yet for this always popular DOC Verdicchio in the traditional curvy bottle. Really bursts with dried lemon, pink grapefruit, Granny Smith apple fruit made even better by a nice dose of stony minerality and a dash of fresh herb. It glides across your palate like silk then finishes brisk and clean and fresh. Great wine for seafood and salads or just to sip. Under-priced for the quality.
- Kellerei Kaltern Caldaro "K" Bianco 2013 Product #28474 (In Stock)
The gang at Alto Adige's Kelleri Kaltern winery just keep pumping out great value wines, but the new "K" series may be the best deals yet. It's a blend of wonderfully ripe Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc that explodes from the glass with aromas of citrus, apple, peach, green melon, and exotic spice. In the mouth it's fresh and bright with flavors of crunchy green melon, white peach, papaya and more lemon/lime citrus. Easy drinking, refreshing, wine that finishes with a nice little tangy kick and pulls you back for more.
- Kellerei Kaltern Caldaro Schiava 2013 Product #28785 (In Stock)
Schiava (also called Vernatsch or Trollinger) was actually the region's most planted grape for many years – with 60% of total vineyard area – until Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay began to supplant it. That's too bad, because the light, crisp, and juicy red wines this local grape makes are fun to drink and pair well with a wide range of foods.
Reflecting the cultural and linguistic diversity of Alto Adige, the Schiava grape is called "Kalterersee" in the local dialect of the region around Lake Caldaro. Grapes for this beauty grew on loamy, limestone gravel soils at 230-450 meters above the Lake and were fermented and aged entirely in tank. A delicious farmhouse red, loaded with red berry fruit, a hint of smoke, and a bright gentle finish. Kind of like a ripe Chinon (but without the herbal notes), this is delicious with a light chill and shines with everyday foods and cured meats. Great value, too.
- Giuggiolo Toscana Rosso 2011 Product #28153 (In Stock)
Here is my actual tasting note from the first time I tried this: "This is just stupid delicious." A few more details – this is 100% Sangiovese made in staeinless steel that opens with fresh and lovely aromas of violets, purple fruits and crushed cherries. In the mouth it's juicy and ripe with loads of pretty fruit and a dark, earthy, streak. Bright and clean through the end with a delicious note of coffee and cocoa dust emerging at the end. Drink it with a little chill with pizza and pasta or warmer with anything off the grill. Like I said: Stupid delicious.
- Osel Ruche Monferrato 2011 Product #28190 (In Stock)
You may never have heard of Ruche, but if you like aromatic grapes like Pinot Noir, and are searching for something that will sing with everything from Indian food to pizza, you've found your new best friend. A traditional grape from Italy's Piedmont region, this is a soft, easygoing red with intriguing aromas of cherry, plum, lavendar, and floral notes. Delicious and unique.
- Colsanto Ruris Umbria 2011 Product #28669 (In Stock)
Here's our single best-selling Italian wine of the past five years - a fantastic value that tastes like it costs twice as much as it does. The wine is mainly (70%) Sangiovese and delivers plenty of that variety's juicy black cherry fruit. But, the 20% Merlot in the blend rounds out the mid-palate and keeps the wine soft while the secret ingredient -- 10% Sagrantino -- adds spice and complexity uncommon in Umbrian wines. Sure, it goes well with pizza and robust pasta sauces, but there's enough going on to handle game and hard, salty, cheeses and a soft enough finish just to drink at a party. Fantastic value.
- Volpetti Cesanese 2013 Product #28784 (In Stock)
Even bigger, bolder, more fruit filled, and even more delicious than before (while still pretty garishly packaged). From vineyards around Rome, the Volpetti packs a punch of lush dark damson plum and black cherry fruit with accents of earth and spice. A short stay in old oak barrels softens the tannins and adds a hint of sweet balsamic. Drink this a touch cool with pizza margherita, a bowl of pasta in red sauce, or even a big, juicy, burger and you'll be very, very, happy!
- Franco Serra Barbera d'Alba 2013 Product #29356 (In Stock)
From a small Barbaresco producer, this fresh and fruity Barbera delivers a lot more complexity and satisfaction than it's humble price suggests. Fresh and juicy Bing/black cherry fruit roll across your tongue with accents of fresh leather and aged Balsamic. Long on the palate and mouthwatering finish where very light tannin gives a little extra support. A pretty sophisticated wine for the price - great with pizza, pasta, or even on its own.
- Cantele Salice Salentino Riserva 2011 Product #29454 (In Stock)
Another fine vintage for this deep South Italian red that is always robust, but never cooked or heavy. 100% Negromaro done all in tank for freshness.
"Firm and savory, this opens with aromas of ripe berry, clove and graphite. On the palate, notes of clove and black pepper add depth to ripe Morello cherry and crushed raspberry flavors. Supple tannins offer support."Wine Enthusiast 89 points
- Vajra Moscato d'Asti 2012 Product #27397 (In Stock)
Vajra's take on the classic sweet, fizzy wine of the Piedmont is a great example of why something sweet and fun doesn't have to be cloying. With its fine, frothy mousse, delicious floral aromas, and flavors of ripe, juicy peaches, it's fantastic on its own or as an accompaniment to a fruit tart or mousse. Great for brunch, too!
- Fiore Chianti DOCG Fiore Nero 2012 Product #28382 (In Stock)
This is the second wine we've featured from Italy's Alessandro Fiore and, like the way over-achieving Super-Tuscan Rosso, it's a lot of wine for the money. We could give you all kind of descriptive prose about the 2012 Fiore Nero Chianti DOCG - but it all boils down to: "This smells and tastes like Chianti!" Specifically, a really nice, old-school, Chianti with great fruit and a soft, supple, finish. Classic Chianti aromas of earthy black cherry and raspberry lead to plenty of dark berry fruit with some nice floral and licorice accents. The black fruit keeps on pumping across the fine tannins at the end as a hint of fresh leather emerges and juicy acids make your mouth water.
In short, it's a very fine Spaghetti House Chianti full of clean, modern, fruit and plenty of old-school fun. Grab a case, bake up a big dish of lasagna, and have a party!
- Kellerei Kaltern Caldaro Pinot Grigio 2013 Product #28708 (In Stock)
What a roll these guys are on! Several vintages of 90-point scores from Wine Enthusiast and bragging rights as the best-selling under-$20 Pinot Grigio in the store. The 2013 is a little crisper than the 2012, but just as delicious as ever.
Once again, it's a Pinot Grigio for folks who like actual flavor in their crisp, refreshing, whites. As in the past, lovely aromas and flavors of ripe pear, crisp apple, peach, and tangerine here with an extra layer of complexity from notes of melon, blanched almond, and a lovely floral element. A tad richer and fuller than in the past, but just as mouthwatering and salty-mineral on the juicy, fresh, finish. Just lovely, great value, stuff.
- Di Lenardo Pinot Grigio Friuli 2013 Product #28571 (In Stock)
If you think Pinot Grigio is a neutral, flavorless, watery wine – well, you just haven't tried the new release of this long-time customer favorite! It's wonderfully aromatic, with notes of crisp pear, fresh apple, white flower blossom and a touch of spice jumping from the glass. The texture is as light, crisp, and refreshing as ever, but the flavors are bold and satisfying with notes of spicy pear, juicy green apple, tangy apricot, and just a hint of almond. The fruit flavors keep on pumping through the long, mouthwatering, finish where the pear juice and citrus flavors linger. A great all-purpose summer white to enjoy on its own or with everything from shellfish to grilled chicken.
- Di Lenardo Chardonnay Friuli 2013 Product #28628 (In Stock)
It's a little surprising that the grape least associated with Friuli – Chardonnay – should deliver one of the most exciting wines in this line-up. But, then, this isn't "just" Chardonnay. When Massimo Di Lendardo took over his family estate in 1987, he launched a massive replanting effort to increase vine density and focus on the very best clones for his Friuli vineyards. For this wine, that meant the "Chardonnay Musque" clone, a mutation that retains all of Chardonnay's body and crisp fruit but adds a layer of floral and pit fruit aromatics.
It's been a winning choice, with Di Lenardo Chardonnay earning 89-91 points from Wine Spectator each year for the past five! And, the review for the 90 point 2012 fits well here: "A stony undertow and well-meshed acidity frames the flavors of yellow apple, apricot, anise, slivered almond and honeycomb in this bright and balanced version. A crowd-pleaser." This is no-oak, 100% fun, Chardonnay that will sing with a wide range of food or delight while sipping at sunset.
- Villa Jolanda Prosecco Product #22192 (In Stock)
Villa Jolanda Prosecco is made from 100% Prosecco grapes grown in the hills north of Treviso. Grapes are hand-harvested, chilled in the vineyard, and given a low-temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fruit. The wine features lovely aromas of white flowers, orchard fruits, and a touch of mineral. Lightly sparkling with very pretty, small, bubbles, the wine is full of flavor - peach, ripe apple, lemon zest, and a nice mineral streak. Fruity and crisp, the wine finishes with a touch of mineral and yellow apple. A fantastic wine to keep on hand for everyday celebrations or to stock up on for Holiday parties. Delicious!
- Cantina Gabriele Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2010 (Kosher) Product #28244 (In Stock)
Mevushal Just a rock-solid take on one of Italy's most versatile and fun to drink varietals. The key themes here are "cherry" – ripe cherries on the nose, cherry confit flavors, even a dark black cherry color – and "spice", a classic feature of Montepulciano grapes. It's medium-bodied, forward, and ready to drink now with lamb, brisket, and more.
- San Lorenzo Montepulciano D'abruzzo 2012 Product #28959 (In Stock)
The longtime favorite San Lorenzo Montepulciano is consistently ripe, round, and soft. Nice, rich, aromas and flavors of ripe blackberry, cherry, and plum fruit are complemented with hints of cocoa, licorice and coffee. This is one of the best wines in the store for pizza, but has enough stuffing and depth to work with more complex meals. And, it's pretty darn delicious just by itself. Buy by the case!
- Lodali Moscato D'asti 2014 Product #29350 (In Stock)
A delightfully aromatic wine, with loads of fresh fruit flavors bursting from the glass. It is sweet, but beautifully balanced by the wine's effervescence and acidity. Being frizzante, it has only about half the effervescence of a sparkling wine, and is hard to resist. This wine makes a wonderful accompaniment to many desserts, especially those made with fruit such as peach, pear, apple and berries.
- Crivelli Grignolino D' Asti 2012 Product #27649 (In Stock)
This is a spectacular rendition of Piemonte's Gignolino, a wine of robust and fresh aromas and flavors and smooth as silk finish. The translucent cherry red color is a showstopper, but the bold aromas of tangy strawberry, crunchy black cherry, citrus peel and a touch of tar are even better. Round and mouthwateringly bright, the wine finishes juicy and long with very soft, fine, tannins. Pure, unadulterated, fun.
- Kellerei Kaltern Caldaro Lagrein 2012 Product #28228 (In Stock)
Lagrein is sort of the Dolcetto of Alto Adige, the bold but flexible everyday red that pairs perfectly with cheese, sausage and savory main courses. This one's a beauty, ripe and dark and loaded with earthy cherry and plum fruit and bitter chocolate notes. The texture is generous and round- making it a nice sipper - but bright acidity and fine tannins let it shine at table. Delicious and fine value!
"Sleek and rich with red fruit and black tannins, this is a peppery lagrein that shows edges of alcohol and leafiness. Those edges will add spice to most anything beefy, particularly a steak."Wine & Spirits 88 points

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
To call 'Cliffy' a character doesn't do him justice
BRISBANE -- In 1983, a 61-year-old Australian farmer won the Sydney to Melbourne ultra-marathon and the nation fell in love with its own Forrest Gump.
Long before baby boomers began warbling about re-defining the aging process, Cliff Young, who spent much of his working life as a sheep dog, demonstrated age can be nothing more than a state of a gloriously unsound mind.
This Sunday, national broadcaster ABC will screen Cliffy, a long-awaited TV movie reminding Australians that heroism is not easily defined, and it's the most ordinary who often do the most extraordinary.
Whether Canada has a version of Cliffy is difficult to determine from this distance, but to describe him (as we often do when trying to capture the essence of an original personality) as a "character" doesn't do him justice.
Even a comparison with the relatively worldly Gump falls short of capturing the essence of the rustic and wonderfully eccentric Cliffy.
He grew up on his dad's sheep farm outside the small town of Colac in Victoria, 150 kilometres from the capital, Melbourne, and decided to sack the sheep dogs early in his farming career.
Instead, he bounded around the farm in long pants rounding up the startled sheep with all the skill and enthusiasm of a collie.
A vegetarian and non-drinker who lived with his mum, he turned up at the first Westfield Sydney to Melbourne ultra-marathon with a few holes ripped in his pants for ventilation, and minus his teeth. (He explained to organizers that his false teeth rattled when he ran.)
Cliffy innocently lined up with the under 30s with their electrolyte-replacing sports drinks and designer running shoes and quickly became a figure of fun.
It took Susan Boyle's appearance in front of a smug judging panel at Britain's Got Talent two decades later to match the condescension Cliffy received at the hands of a mean-spirited public.
But not since Boyle gave us her version of I Dreamed a Dream, and not since the tortoise beat the hare, have the cocky been put so firmly put back in their place.
As the starting gun fired, Cliff loped off in his trademark shuffle while half the nation giggled and the other half expressed genuine concern for this elderly and clearly eccentric man's health.
But at night when the professional runners took four- to six-hour naps Cliffy, just like Forrest, kept on running.
He didn't just win the 875-kilometre race. His five days, 15 hours and four minutes time sliced many hours off the record for any previous run between Sydney and Melbourne.
Quizzed by reporters on the secret of his success, Cliffy willingly revealed his psychological game plan. While running he visualized himself rounding up sheep while simultaneously trying to outrun an approaching storm.
When he was a boy, it was not uncommon for him to round up sheep over 2,000 acres. Sometimes it would take him three days. He figured the race was five days, so what was two more days of running?
"Specialized training regime?" they asked. Certainly, he replied. For two weeks before the race, he wore galoshes while running at high speed after sheep.
National acclaim followed his victory along with romance and marriage to a female admirer one-third his age and thousands of aging followers inspired by his bravery took to the road with their own version of the Cliffy shuffle.
Now Colac audiences will have the first glimpse of ABC TV's movie two days before the rest of the country gets its screening on Sunday.
Cliffy's brother Sid said he looks forward to the premiere and how the movie portrayed him and "a great brother."
"I'm hoping that it'll have good parts in it," Young said with an echo of his brother's enviable capacity for plain-speaking.
Cliff died at his home in Queensland in 2003 aged 81 after a long illness.
Colac Otway Shire Council Mayor Jim Ryan gave him the finest of eulogies:
"He will be remembered very fondly because he was friendly towards everyone and everyone admired him."
Michael Madigan is the Winnipeg Free Press correspondent in Australia. He writes mostly about politics for the Brisbane-based Courier Mail.

Right now, there is a very good possibility that at least some of the candidates for the 2056 presidential election are in elementary or middle school.
To meet federal accountability requirements, their schools collect detailed information about their behavior and performance. This information - tied to a unique identifier - gets stored in a state database that records detailed information about learners. All states collect this information for K12 education; 41 track information from preK through college.
Many of these state level datastores are managed, supported, and accessed by external vendors like - for example - Pearson, eScholar, and Infinite Campus.
If this candidate goes to a school that uses Powerschool, then their personal...
If you are collecting data on students, students need to be able to see, interact with, review, comment on, and dispute data points to which they have objections. Parents deserve these rights as well. Anything short of full, complete transparency - where students and parents can see the full range of data collected, and interact with it, and learn from it, and interject when the implications suggested by the data are wrong - won't be sufficient.
Whether you see this as a systems design issue with pedagogical implications, or a pedagogical issue with systems design implications, the starting points look the same.
If you are building or working with a data system, it needs to have these two components:
One of my major motivating factors in writing a book on data and education policy through the lens of inBloom is to make the details of education policy more accessible to a broader audience.
It should surprise absolutely no one that many discussions about educational issues take place among people who are deeply immersed in education or edtech, and that the people engaging in these conversations have deeply ingrained beliefs that are unlikely to change. When I talk with people outside this bubble, they express a degree of confusion and horror - confusion about what the actual issues are, and horror at what appears to be the intractability of vaguely defined yet strongly held convictions.
From watching - and participating in - many education policy discussions over the years, I'm no longer surprised when these conversations take place in an ahistorical...
One of my goals in writing a book looking at how education policy and privacy decisions evolved over the last three years is to examine and clarify the different potential meanings of data within education.
When we talk about data, we often skip the specifics. When it comes to discussing issues and concerns related to data collection and privacy, a lack of specificity at the outset leads to confusion and miscommunication as the conversations progress. Within education, "data" means many things.
When we talk about data, are we talking about the data that is required for school report cards, as required by federal law? Are we talking about data that supports federal...
In talking about education, it's very easy to get bogged down in the rabbit holes of policy debates, who supports what and how fervently, and other details that circle around education, but aren't directly tied to education.
To break that pattern of thought, I started asking myself these questions relative to some of the work we do, related to how learning and teaching environments are created and sustained:
I've spent the last few weeks reading and re-reading This Is Not A Test by José Vilson. In my past life, as an English teacher, I would churn out responses like no one's business. It was a simple pattern - read --> cogitate --> time and caffeine --> pronto! Occasionally, though, the pattern wouldn't work - with books where I got stuck on the corners - books where I kept returning because there were pieces of the conversation (and yes, I see all text as an invitation to a conversation) that I missed. These books - the ones that keep calling you back, the ones that push you - are, over time, the most enjoyable.
This Is Not A Test defies easy categorization - the text is equal parts essay, coming of age story, history lesson, and primer in what it means to teach - and each facet is equally necessary. Reading through the text, I kept returning to the idea that our concept...
As is now painfully obvious, Oregon wasted milions of taxpayer dollars on the failed Cover Oregon site. A sizeable amount of these millions went to Oracle, the main contractor on this failed build that didn't sign up a single person for health coverage.
President Obama showed his outrage at this incompentence and waste of taxpayer money by playing a round of golf on Oracle CEO Larry Ellison's private golf course this February. Nothing says "I'm outraged!" like leaving an extra divot on the green.
Let's contrast this with the position of the Federal Government on teachers who are not performing:
On April 24th, Washington State became the first state in the country lo lose its No Child Left Behind (or NCLB) waiver. The state lost the waiver because the Washington State legislature refused to tie teacher evaluations to student scores on standardized tests.
The letter, and the attached conditions, make for an interesting read. The implications also point to additional showdowns in the near future. The adequate yearly progress goals of NCLB, broadly criticized as unrealistic, will result in many schools that have been considered successful to become failures overnight. Randy Dorn, Washington State superintendent, describes the situation as follows:
"You have to write the letter to everyone that you're a failing school," he says. "You're supposed...
In conversations about privacy in schools, it's easy to get mired in the details of what isn't working. The incomplete list below provides some starting points for making things better. This list isn't comprehensive by any means, but it's intended as a starting point for people looking to dig deeper. In an ideal world, we could round up funding to bring together a team of people for 2 two day work sessions (a total of four days) to begin working through this list. All work would be released under a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license.
NOTE: An earlier version of this post included language from a draft version of a NY Assembly bill. Thanks to Paige Kowalski for pointing this out. END NOTE
Earlier this week, New York State pulled out of inBloom. While this has been hailed by some as a victory for privacy, it's worth noting that the data points that are collected - and have been collected for the last several years - haven't changed. The federal accountability requirements driving much of the data collection that currently occurs haven't changed. In New York, the withdrawal from inBloom means that districts are right back where they started: managing data collection and accountability...

Last days in Paros with the Italians and Filada
... you can't get any better than that. More importantly, we had working wifi in our room! We had a wonderful buffet dinner. It was hard to believe we were in Athens. The hotel decor, although very nice, gave no indication that we were in Greece, much less Athens. Brian and I both commented it is hard to believe that in a few hours we would be back in the U.S. We were looking forward to it, specially since we would be seeing old and new friends...
Day 112 Naxos day 2 (Naxos tour)
... the sea on the other side of the island, so we crossed over some large hills and drove along the waters edge and reached this town. We had a bit of time to explore here as well, so i walked along the beach, explored the town, got a gelato and wandered around some more. We then went to see this giant statue of dionosysis, still lying where it was carved in a quarry. After a few pictures of this we got back on the coach and used the north coast road to get back to ...

Driving along the main road heading towards the beach, my hat blew off and disappeared – there was too much traffic so i could not stop. Goodbye hat. I drove through a small village then past some touristy parts of the beach, then along a dirt road that became very bumpy. Soon i arrived at Plaka beach. I found that the ...

I got on, left my bags in storage and found a seat. Once on i sat, used the internet, updated and ate lunch – left over cold pizza. I also did some reading.

"The base issue is that yes, it still needs to be clicked, but with how powerful it presently is... too bad - you need to force people to use this amazing spell. In heroics, it practically does all my raid healing for me."
No, I don't think so. It's the healers job to heal. I have enough to worry about dps'ing and staying out of AoE and other crap. Now you want me to keep a close eye on my health and click a lightwell regularly as well? Do u have to try and melee dps while you heal? If all we need is a lightwell then we should all have that as a spell and just do away with healers and have one more dps.
86 Goblin Priest
Yea... in wrath i was disc just like all the other priests but come cata i was struggling in heroics so much i tryed holy and hated it but then i read up on some forums and now i cant stand to dps in heroics with my disc friends healing after every fight i hear "wait up i need to drink"after every trash pull. holy is the best way to go. given disc has its strong points like my friends tell me they have more mana but i say my mana lasts 4x as long as yours'
this thread is full of great info and perspective. I am new to Wow and I appreciate all the input from those pro as well as anti Holy. As for me, I will stay Holy. I like a thinking game and it looks like I will be guaranteed opportunities for critical thinking and decision making as a Holy. The one skill that I look forward to getting is the healing pool one. What a great sounding skill as long as your DPS aren't just a group of mouth breathing thugs.
blame blizzard cuz this little thing heals as much as/more that PoH WITHOUT the priest being 3 secs standing still like an idiot (specially during moving fights) and it is NOT intended for single-healing, we dont have beacons of light to clone our greater heals so its either wait to be healed by other, hope to survive a little more, or click it.....really its not as if we asked for it to be like that either
"it's about time the dps and tanks figure that out if they want to live. Just like they need to figure out that lightwell is awesome. Healers are no longer the "sole reason" wipes happen."
i loved that....*sigh* if just half the retards out there understood it...
"The base issue is that yes, it still needs to be clicked, but with how powerful it presently is... too bad - you need to force people to use this amazing spell. In heroics, it practically does all my raid healing for me."
Your kidding right?
It has a 20 yd range, your attitude is what makes healing harder than it needs to be.

what i dont understand is why is it soooo easy to pop ur pots or cookies? but OMG u might have to clicky a lightwell if ur too stupid/slow to move or kick? sure i will heal u, but is it really that bad to help me out when its your fault u cant react quick enuf not to take that extra damage? =)
I agree as well...there is a start rotation...mine is similar...chakra first/pom/renew-then w/e i need based on w/e happens...works like a charm til u get in a heroic where...everyones dead in first 10 seconds lol
ppl that complain about doing 1 simple thing like clicking a lightwell...need to go play runescape!....you think we have it easy watching everyones health and ours and staying outta stuff and all the other crap you guys gotta watch? we pull agro and die too...and the more i try to keep me alive the less i can keep you alive ...my first priority is the tank and myself....the rest of you get healed if A) you arent a d-bag B) you arent a dumbass C) you realize you=nada w/o these first 2 on my priority list...:) oh yeah and D) IF YOU CLICK THE LIGHTWELL......

I LOVE lightwell and don't understand what the problem is. I'm constantly juggling spells, whether I'm DPSing, CCing, interrupting, , blinking, evocating, etc. One or two clicks at my own discretion in the midst of all my other spells is well worth it. When a priest lays down a lightwell, I breathe a sigh of relief. "Hey, I can heal myself when I think I need it! What a novel idea!" The priest just basically gave me one of his healing spells and said, "Use it, if you're smart enough." I'm smart enough to include a click or two on a lightwell while I'm doing everything else. I <3 holy priests!! You rock!
90 Night Elf Priest
There - a location. The bad dps stand over there in the fire.
Their - a possession. It is their own fault if the dps stands in the fire and die.
They're - a conjunction of They are. They are going to die standing in the fire.
Finally, I have to argue against Lightwell. Oh it's great. But in a normal 25m raid, people are focused on their rotations, staying out of the stupid, dpsing the right thing, misdirecting, kiting, and about 50 bajilion other things. If it is between me dropping a renew on them, or letting them die and wiping the entire raid because I was too pissy that they wouldn't use the lightwell, I am going to do my JOB and proactively heal. Their job is to focus on their dps or tanking. My job is to make sure they live long enough to take down the boss. Not to stand over them wagging my finger saying "Take your vitamins... I mean click the lightwell."
90 Draenei Mage
I clicked on this "guide" because I am picking up my priest for the first time in Cataclysm, and I figured I would get some spec, glyph, common practice advice. But I can't find the "guide" part in this forum.
-Heal is your main spell.
-Lightwell is useful.
-Renew is... (I dont know, because you didnt actually talk about it, and trailed off into how DPS can remain at 50% health in heroics.)
-You have lots of spells.
I dont mean to be brash, but why is this stickied?

Great post, re-enforced what I knew. I would like to know what stats to stack tho, secondary speaking. I know int is needed and you need enough spirit to keep mana bars blue, but what about haste/crit/mastery? Mastery increases hps directly and crit adds flash heal procs, haste has been a go-to stat for all classes, all the time. What do you recommend holys reforge for? And at the exense of what?
Thanks in advance for the help.

" -About Healing well-
If a 0.2 sec glance to your health bar is too much, then you have a problem... DPS-ing is a no-brainer. If you have your hotkeys set up and aren't a *clicker* (as they call them) then you are pretty much only watching out for boss damage mechanics and that's it! Wow what a job! Healers have it 3 times as bad than the dps with watching "all" raid member's health, watching their mana consuption and boss mechanics as well. As an additional (because I can save you @rses) I watch everyone else's positioning to get one of those tunnel visioning dps out of boss mechanics with LoF.
The 2 reasons I think ppl don't take lightwells
-Bad at multitasking. (So they simply forget)
Lightwell clicking is also about 0.5 seconds of your time (looking around for it then clicking) for around 8k heal over 6 seconds. Unless... loosing 200dps for just a loss of brief momentary glory topping the charts is more important than doing your job properly. Which is 1-Staying alive 2-Dealing damage.
Live first, to tell the tale of your own epicness... "Use Lightwell!"

my welcome macro when i heal whit my priest XD
Greetings. My name is Wolfgarou and I will be your healer for this run.
Welcome to cataclysm. This is not wotlk.
For all newplayers or very retarded wotlk players... whats next is common sense.
Take this opportunity to learn it now before you get kicked or be the cause of a wipe from a raid or heroic
1- Healers wont babysit you. Stay out of the fire, poison, void zones and acidic Jell-O. If you dont il go oom or let you die!!
2- Watch your threat; make sure that your are targeting the tank target(set your assit keybind) and watch your positioning.
3- I will not heal two tanks.
4- If I am sitting to regain health/mana, you are sitting to regain health/mana. If you pull when im sitting ..il stay out of combat and let you all die
5-Lightwell!!!! is op... if you have the brain power to use it
Lightwell clicking is about 0.5 seconds of your time.
The best dps is the one that does the max damage done not damage per sec and for that you need to survive the hole fight
Just try to make my job easier and this will be fast and easy. help me help you!!! alright lets do this........
Prepare for glory!!!!

Whether or not priests are at the right healing level is up to the game designers and balancers. My only objection as a player is that I feel like my priest is getting worse as I level instead of better. If this is where priests are supposed to be at 85 then you should probably make significantly harder around lvl 80. For example at lvl 81 I could spam flash heal without running out of mana, and now at 84 I doubt if can heal my own health bar. My opinion, for what its worth, is that healing was the most fun around lvl 82. also healing from lvl 60 to 82 was so easy that it was boring.
alright, so i went from grinding as a spriest to get my holy gear to my first attempt at holy healing in grim batol today. lets just say it didnt go so well. dps was falling and dying all over, and in the mean time i couldnt keep the tank up due to spiking of dmg with a MS (was the pull right after the second boss ring area). that being said the shammy in our guild took over healing and i went back to dps.
maybe i need more practice, or maybe im just terrible. but, any tips on healing. just in general if any. thanks.

Gallery: TwingTec's Energy Harvesting Kite is a High-Flying Wind Power ...
Kite flying may be the perfect leisurely summertime activity, but it could also help charge your devices as well. Swiss company TwingTec has developed an incredible energy harvesting kite that collects wind power while sailing the skies. Resembling the vintage box kite made famous by the Wright Brothers, the kite is connected to a ground station, which collects the wind energy through tension reels.
TwingTec's Twing device can soar to heights greater than the tallest wind turbine-about 330 feet higher. Supported by the Swiss Kite Power Project (comprised of EMPA, the University of Applied Sciences Northwest Switzerland, the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and the Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne), the rigid and durable Twing can reach the most powerful winds, high above traditional turbines.
While reaching new heights, the device is connected to the ground station through tension lines. As the kite is carried higher and higher with strong winds, the tension lines set the reels in the ground station in motion, creating movement that is converted to electrical energy through an electromagnetic induction process. When the kite rises to its maximum height, it is pulled down again, so the process can start over, creating a chain of rising and falling that is transformed into energy.
TwingTec is still working out the kinks, but the strong and rigid kite has already proven its capacity to produce usable energy.

Bathroom Demo
We are looking into remodeling our master bathroom - removing the tub completely and extending the shower.
The contractor I spoke with today told me I don't need to completely demo the entire room and that he could even lay new tile on the existing. Is this a good idea? Is it best to completely gut the entire room?
Thanks in advance!
Find a new contractor. You may not have to gut the entire room down to the studs (we didn't), but you certainly don't want someone willing to lay new tile over the top of existing. The old needs to come up, a proper underlayment laid, waterproofing (if necessary), leveled (if needed), and new tile put down. Eeeek!
I think this really depends. If the original floor is a solid mortar bed and there is no cracking of the existing tile, this is routinely done. It makes the floor thicker, an issue at the doorway, and it makes it that much heavier, but it isn't always wrong. The shower floor and walls are a different story since it sounds like it is changing in size and it would probably be best to start that area from the studs or subfloor up.

Canoe Myths...
Posted by: wavetamer on Mar-19-10 6:28 PM (EST)
Well put Cliff....there are similar myths in the world of kayaking, too...Some of the more serious ones coming out of the kayak fishing craze, and perhaps the fault of the industry telling potential paddlers that a certain boat "can't capsize", etc. Think of all the camping myths; myths about the outdoors in general and you have the makings of a book!
Keep up the good advice.

"An excellent Global listen"
Enjoyable, informative, novel
Easy listening
Its not necessary to listen it in one sitting, but I found myself wanting more
Worth the read, Friedman tries to assess the world relationships in the coming decade.
"Thought provoking perspective"
This audiobook is my favourite so far. By content and nature I found it worked in great with the ebook. Audio for easy listening when exercising or doing tasks, reading when you get time to sit and concentrate.
Easy to listen to
The superficial challenge
This is a truly excellent listen/read. If you are a pundit, parent, or professor, it is really worth exploring. I also liked to use of the thoeries and research of John Sweller. It has a far reaching impact on us and our education system with enough examples and friendly explantion to make it practical. My background is in Computing Science and Mathematics in industry but I am now education and this provides a foundation to compare theories to (EG: try looking at this perspective on Multiple Intelligences).

Figurine made from Salt
Hi All,
I have attached a link to a photo of a figurine made from salt that I purchased from a garage sale. I have done an online search on this type of figurine and the only one I found was on Ebay very similar to mine. Does anyone have any information on this type of figurine?
Here is a link that might be useful: Figurine Made From Salt
So if it is salt what is holding it together?? It's a very nice piece probably from 1920-30's made of alabaster I think Art Deco & 1 of just woman & deer is listed at $500 in 2003 Schroeder's Antiques price guide. Quite a treasure! It may be marked Italy on it somewhere, on bottom or near bottom edge or hidden around base somewhere. If I remember right, this is not something you wash in water. It was very popular in 1920-50's I had a number of busts of Chopin, Bach etc given to me by my piano teacher. Yours is really special with the number of animals & the graceful lady.
Salt figurines were "sort of popular" in the 50's...and all that I have seen have been made in italy.
They are different than alabaster figurines, more opaque....and, of course dissolve in water.
Not Deco, lots later. The style is late 40's to early 50's.
I don't know if they were carved out of a block fo salt or made from a salt clay.
Linda C
Thanks for the input all. I bought it for $40. I do not see Italy anywhere on it. It is browning somewhat and may have worn off. I do love it since I am all about dogs. I'm going to see if I can contact the folks I bought it for (I did their virtual tour of their home when it when up for sale), and see if the smaller one was sold.
I have 2 dove figurines that are made of salt. They kinda looks like the one in this picture ( I have 2 different poses,) but this is a similar one I found on ebay. Mine looks like someone cleaned it and some of the salt has worn off. they are very white and have a gold and red sticker on the bottom that says "Norleans hand made in Italy" Is there a way I can find out anything about their age and/or value?
hi - after looking at the photo i believe i have a similar salt figurine with 3 ladies possibly Greek mythology made in Italy from 1940-50's carved out of fine grained rock salt that my mother had for years. My question is that now I have it after she passed away that one of the ladie's head broke off. How do you repair a broken salt figurine? tried using super glue but it doesn't stick ... any suggestions?

Sony VAIO VPC-EB13FX/BIC
Strong application performance. Blu-ray drive. HDMI and eSATA ports. 500GB hard drive.
- Cons Integrated graphics. Below-average battery life. Excess keyboard flex. Limited viewing angle. Poor-sounding audio.
Bottom Line
Anyone looking for an entertainment laptop should be excited when they discover that the Sony VAIO VPC-EB13FX/BIC comes with a bright 15.5-inch display, Blu-ray drive, HDMI-out, and a generous 500GB hard drive. But less-than-stellar battery life, no real 3D gaming potential, and a relatively high price tag might make you want to look elsewhere.

No. 20 Notre Dame beats Monmouth 84-57
"We did a good job feeding him," Brey said. "He has the best feel of our big guys to present himself as a receiver in a good spot. "
The Irish travel this weekend to the $1 billion Barclay's Center in Brooklyn on for the championship rounds of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. Notre Dame will play Saint Joseph's on Saturday, then either Florida State or BYU on Sunday.
Monmouth was outscored 40-20 in the paint, and hit only 2 of 11 from 3-point range. The Irish were 6 of 21 on 3-pointers, with Connaughton hitting three.
The Irish again were lackluster from the free throw line, hitting just 16 of 26 -- a slight improvement from the 18-of-30 effort in their season opener Saturday against Evansville.
Monmouth shot just 39 percent from the field, compared to 53 percent by the Irish.
Monmouth turned the ball over 18 times to Notre Dame's 16, but the Irish turned those into 28 points, while Monmouth converted the Irish turnovers into just 10 points.

text: Julianne Moore plays Audrey Woods an undefeated divorce attorney whose neurotic need for junk food and impossibly hip mom (Frances Fisher) might be the reasons for why she's been single all her 35 years (in Hollywood logic anyway). While marching into a particularly messy divorce case she meets Daniel Rafferty (Pierce Brosnan) a slovenly but damn sexy divorce attorney who also has never lost a case in spite of his seemingly precarious methods. He's immediately smitten but she's uptight or in denial or a combination of the two even after they get drunk a half an hour into the film and fall into bed. Oops. They find themselves at battle when Audrey courts a kooky but famous dress designer getting a divorce (Parker Posey) who opts to hire Daniel as her laywer leading an infuriated Audrey to take on the philandering rock star husband as her client. While Audrey and Daniel compete they scope out the estranged couple's biggest asset--a glorious castle in Ireland. In Lucky Charm land where everything is apparently a party the attorneys loosen up at a local festival dancing jigs and getting drunk again. This time they not only sleep with each other but get married! Disaster! What to do? Moore has so far been the queen of torment specializing in women who've suffered from maladies ranging from cocaine addiction (Boogie Nights) severe environmental allergies (Safe) and repressed lesbianism (The Hours). Maybe she wanted to take a vacation from the dark side by tackling a character who's biggest problem is her Cheetos consumption but more likely she thought playing (gasp!) funny would further prove her acting mettle. But getting laughs is a lot tougher than it looks if you're good and really really tough looking if you're not. Awkwardly stumbling through this fifth-rate screwball comedy Moore is positively tragic thudding out one-liners with the grace of a wounded deer. The breezy Brosnan fares better only because his ingratiating lilt and calm demeanor makes him at least charming though when in one "funny" scene he picks a fleck of food off her face puts in his mouth and utters the name of a Hostess product ("Snowball...")--even he can't make that sexy. Director Peter Howitt attempts to capture the sparkle and magic of Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy specifically their legal screwball Adam's Rib but considering this is the same director who un-funnied Rowan Atkinson in the abysmal Johnny English why anyone would trust him with such a feat is baffling. Maybe it was his other hilarious film Sliding Doors with Gwyneth Paltrow that convinced 'em. Right. Working with the ham-fisted screenplay by Aline Brosh McKenna and Robert Harling (if we are to assume this is the actual first draft) Howitt directs with little distinction other than managing to make the typically side-splitting Parker Posey barely half hearted. Though there are a few moments that garner a mini giggle Laws of Attraction is lazy and at 90 minutes lumbering. Howitt's idea of humor is placing a Hostess pastry in front of the luminous Moore and making James Bond work in a sloppy office (Get it? Yeah…). In the famous words of a five-year-old it's so funny we forgot to laugh.

The YouTube app buffers the video just fine, and displays the UI correctly, but when I hit the play button nothing happens. In other apps that utilize videos as well, such as Snapchat, videos are just black screens with no sounds.
I couldn't post in the actual Development thread because I do not have those privileges. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

And if for some reason you did miss it, don't worry, you can catch it again next year. For those of you who simply need to know the results: River House took home the honor of best cocktail and pairing. Word on the street was their presentation and atmosphere was what did it.
