CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Federal prosecutors want a judge to schedule plea hearings for two former Mingo County officials charged in a corruption probe.
The motions filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Charleston focus on former prosecutor Michael Sparks and former Magistrate Dallas Toler.
Sparks is accused in a scheme to protect Sheriff Eugene Crum from revelations he'd bought drugs from a campaign sign-maker.
Prosecutors allege Sparks, former county Commissioner David Baisden and former Circuit Judge Michael Thornsbury offered a lighter sentence if sign-maker George White fired his lawyer and hired one they preferred.
Crum died in April in an unrelated shooting. White is serving one to 15 years under a plea agreement.
Toler is charged in a separate federal case with illegally registering a felon to vote in the 2012 primary election.

This certified organic Marshmallow root is grown in the rich soil of North America.
Soothes mucous membranes
Marshmallow has been used in traditional European medicine for more than 2,000 years, and its therapeutic use dates back to the 9th Century. Its genus name, Althaea, comes from the Greek word "altho," which means "to cure." This soothing herb has a high mucilage content, making it a useful remedy for minor irritation of the mucous membranes of the gut.
Marshmallow root and extract were formerly official entries in the United States Pharmacopeia and the National Formulary. In Germany, Marshmallow is used in a standard medicinal tea. The German Commission E reports the use of Marshmallow for soothing oral mucous membranes, stomach and bronchial tract. The root is frequently used in Europe in traditional cough medicines.
Confectionery Marshmallows were once made from this plant, however, they now primarily contain sugar.

This Fund is expected to be liquidated and dissolved on or about 6/3/2015.
In anticipation of the Fund's liquidation on or about 6/3/2015 (which date may be changed), the Fund will be closed effective March 27, 2015 to new investors and will not accept additional investments from existing shareholders, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend or capital gain distributions.
Please read the supplement below for more detailed information.

Important Disclosure
Unless otherwise stated, portfolio facts and statistics are shown for Class A shares; other classes may have different characteristics.
†NAV: Unless you are eligible for a waiver, the public offering price you pay when you buy Class A shares of the Fund is the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the shares plus an initial sales charge. The initial sales charge varies depending upon the size of your purchase. No sales charge is imposed where Class A shares are issued to you pursuant to the automatic investment of income dividends or capital gains distributions. It is the responsibility of the financial intermediary to ensure that the investor obtains the proper "breakpoint" discount. Class C, Class I and Class Y do not have an initial sales charge; however, Class C does charge a contingent deferred redemption charge. See the prospectus and summary prospectus for more information.
1Van Eck Absolute Return Advisers Corporation (the "Adviser") has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of the Fund (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, trading
expenses, dividends and interest payments on securities sold short, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 2.40% for Class A, 3.15% for Class C, 1.95% for Class I, and 2.00% for Class Y of the Fund's average daily net assets per year until May 1, 2016.
During such time, the expense limitation is expected to continue until the Board of Trustees acts to discontinue all or a portion of such expense limitation.
2The HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index is designed to be representative of the overall composition of the hedge fund universe, and includes convertible arbitrage, distressed securities, equity hedge, equity market neutral, event driven, macro, merger arbitrage, and relative value arbitrage strategies. The S&P® 500 Index consists of 500 widely held common stocks covering industrial, utility, financial and transportation sectors. All indices are unmanaged and include the reinvestment of all dividends, but do not reflect the payment of transaction costs, advisory fees or expenses that are associated with an investment in the Fund. An index's performance is not illustrative of the Fund's performance. Indices are not securities in which investments can be made.
The views and opinions expressed are those of Van Eck Global. Fund manager commentaries are general in nature and should not be construed as investment advice. Opinions are subject to change with market conditions. Any discussion of specific securities mentioned in the commentaries is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation to buy these securities. Fund holdings will vary.
You can lose money by investing in the Fund. Any investment in the Fund should be part of an overall investment program rather than a complete program. Because the Fund implements a fund-of-funds strategy, an investor in the Fund will bear the operating expenses of the "Underlying Funds" in which the Fund invests. The total expenses borne by an investor in the Fund will be higher than if the investor invested directly in the Underlying Funds, and the returns may therefore be lower. The Fund, the Sub-Advisers and the Underlying Funds may use aggressive investment strategies, including absolute return strategies, which are riskier than those used by typical mutual funds. If the Fund and Sub-Advisers are unsuccessful in applying these investment strategies, the Fund and you may lose more money than if you had invested in another fund that did not invest aggressively. The Fund is subject to risks associated with the Sub-Advisers making trading decisions independently, investing in other investment companies, using a particular style or set of styles, basing investment decisions on historical relationships and correlations, trading frequently, using leverage, making short sales, being non-diversified and investing in securities with low correlation to the market. The use of leverage may magnify losses. The Fund is also subject to risks associated with investments in foreign markets, emerging market securities, small cap companies, debt securities, derivatives, commodity-linked instruments, illiquid securities, asset-backed securities and CMOs. Please see the prospectus and summary prospectus for information on these as well as other risk considerations.
Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. An investor should consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the investment company carefully before investing. The prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information. Please read them carefully before investing.

The Legacy of Chile's Pinochet: Domestic Politics and International Human Rights
The Chilean transition to democracy is hailed as one of the most successful in Latin America. Nonetheless, the specter of former dictator Augusto Pinochet has hung over and at times threatened this much-heralded success. While General Pinochet was resoundingly defeated by civilian elites and Chilean democracy has functioned better than almost any other in the region, the Constitution he imposed has shaped post-authoritarian politics in the country, and the legal system continues to grapple with the legacy of human rights abuses. Still, the significance of Pinochct's rule reaches beyond Chile's borders. Pinochet's 1998 arrest in London on charges of human rights abuses underscored the emergence of a new world order where domestic human rights abuses are fair game for those seeking justice on the international stage. Though the aging dictator was eventually released and returned to Chile on the grounds that he was unfit to stand trial, Pinochct's case is a cautionary one for perpetrators of human rights abuses. Professor Siaveliswill explore the implications of Pinochet's legacy for Chile, and their connections to this new international human rights regime.
Peter Siavelis is an associate professor of political science and Hultquist Faculty Fellow at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC. He received his Ph.D. from Georgetown University in 1996, and was a visiting professor at the Catholic University of Chile. His research interests include executive-legislative relations, electoral systems, local government, and decentralization in Latin America. He is the author of The President and Congress in Post-authoritarian Chile: Institutional Constraints to Democratic Consolidation (University Park, PA: Pennsylvania State University Press, 2000), and numerous articles on electoral and party politics in Chile. His current work focuses on political recruitment in the Americas.
This lecture by Peter Siavelis is cosponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies as part of the series Democracy and Latin America.
Latino Politics, Religions, and the 2004 Presidential Election
Newly appointed assistant professor of religious studies at Claremont McKenna College, Gaston Espinosa brings to this community a wealth of scholarship and expertise in the area of religion and politics— in particular Latino religions in American public life.
Professor Espinosa recently served as project manager of the $1.3 million Pew Charitable Trusts—funded Hispanic Churches in American Public Life (HCAPL) research project. The HCAPL project surveyed the religious and political attitudes of more than 3,000 Latinos across the U.S. and Puerto Rico, making it the largest study in U.S. history on Latino religions and politics. In May 2002 he spoke at the National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast with President George W. Bush and Senator Joseph Liebermann. In recognition of his scholarly contributions to the Latino community and American public life, the Generations Center of Princeton named him one of the nation's 100 Positive Men of Color.
Espinosa has masters degrees from Princeton Seminary and Harvard University and a Ph.D. in history from the University of California, Santa Barbara. He has also won the prestigious Dartmouth College Cesar Chavez Dissertation Year Fellowship (awarded to only one Latino per year from any discipline and any Latin country of origin) and the two-year Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship at Northwestern University.
In April 2005 CMC will host a conference on Religion and the American Presidency, conceived and organized by Professor Espinosa. This historic conference will explore the critical role that religious leaders, symbols, values, and rhetoric play in presidential politics. Distinguished scholars and political leaders from across the U.S. will be on campus during this conference.
Please join the Athenaeum in welcoming one of CMC's distinguished faculty for this timely pre-election discussion.

Weapons-of-Mass-Corruption: What Was So Dangerous about the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program in Iraq
Set up as a relief effort to help sick and hungry Iraqis, the United Nations Oil-for-Food program has turned out to be the biggest financial scandal in the history of humanitarian relief. Not only did Saddam Hussein manage to skim billions from Iraq oil earnings meant solely for aid; he also pursued a strategy of corrupting the U.N. Security Council itself—eroding U.N. sanctions on his regime, replenishing his resources, and rebuilding his networks for acquiring arms. The U.N. not only failed to stop him, but actively provided cover in the form of confidentiality for Saddam's deals, failure to police his pricing scams, and failure to alert the world that Saddam was corrupting the U.N.'s own debates. Much of the damage is still with us. How this happened is not only a story of good intentions gone horribly wrong, but a cautionary tale about deep institutional flaws that even today continue to bedevil the U.N.
Claudia Rosctt writes on international affairs, drawing on 23 years experience as a journalist and editor, reporting from Asia, the former Soviet Union, Latin America, and the Middle East. She is currently a journalist-in-residence with the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, an adjunct fellow with the Hudson Institute, and a contributing columnist to The Wall Street Journal's Opinion Journal.
Rosett's on-site coverage of China's 1989 Tiananmen Square uprising, won an Overseas Press Club Citation for Excellence.

Teatr Provisorium: Ferdydurke
PIOTR SZAMRY, stage manager
JANUSZ OPRYNSKI, light and sound design
Ferdydurke (1937) is a surreal satire that explores the cruelty and absurdity of the adolescent and adult worlds. Joseph, a 30 year-old writer, is transformed by a demonic professor of literature into an adolescent and sent back to school "to learn how to do it right." There he re-experiences the cruelties of adolescence from an adult perspective, complete with school-yard taunts, sexual awkwardness, and a wrestling match acted out with the weapons of grotesque facial expressions and alternatively pious and obscene gestures.
This award-winning theatrical experience from the Polish Teatr Provisorium and Komania Teatr is an adaptation by Allen Kuharski of the first novel of Witold Gombrowicz (1904-1969), the enfant terrible of Polish literature and one of the great writers of the 20th century. "A master of verbal burlesque, a connoisseur of psychological blackmail, Gombrowicz is one of the profoundest of late moderns," wrote John Updike, adding that "Ferdydurke, among its centrifugal charms, includes some of the truest and funniest literary satire in print."
This production is part of global celebration of the Gombrowicz centennial. In addition to Ferdydurke, Gombrowicz is renowned for three other novels— Trans-Atlantyk (1953), Pornographia (1960), and Cosmos (1967)— several plays and his monumental three-volume Diary: 1953-56, 1957-61, 1961-67 (1988, 1989, 1993).
New Zealand: A Land Apart
Dr. Richard N. Holdaway is a distinguished extinction biologist specializing in the effects of human settlement and invasive species on pristine environments. He holds positions as an Adjunct Senior Fellow in both the School of Biological Sciences and the Department of Geological Sciences, University of Canterbury, and is co-author of the recent best selling book The Lost World of the Moa: Prehistoric Life of New Zealand (Indiana University Press, 2002), described by reviewers as "a landmark work" and "a masterwork that will stand for years."
Holdaway's recent research includes the demonstration that Pacific rats– and therefore their human transporters– arrived in New Zealand a millenium before the arrival of the founding Mori population that first reached New Zealand about 700 years ago. His research on human impacts and the collapse of ecosystems in New Zealand contains important lessons for the husbandry of ecosystems around the world.
We look forward to a fascinating exploration of the evolution and demise of life in the "strangest corner of our planet." Dr. Holdaway's lecture is sponsored by the Robert's Center for Environmental Studies at CMC.
Election Night: Analyzing the Results
It is a tradition at the Athenaeum to serve a special election night dinner and watch the returns on the big screen. Throughout the evening as the results come in, professors Andrew Busch and Ken Miller will answer questions and spur discussion on what is happening in real time- providing commentary on the presidential election, national congressional races, and California's referendums.
Ken Miller joined the CMC's government department faculty in 2003. A native Southern Californian, Miller graduated from Pomona College in 1985. While at Pomona, he participated in the CMC Washington Program and interned for Congressman David Dreier (CMC '75). He graduated from Harvard Law School in 1988 and practiced full-time at the law firm of Morrison & Foerster, LLP before earning a Ph.D in political science at Berkeley in 2002. While at Berkeley, Miller won a departmental teaching award and served as the administrator of the John Gardner Public Service Fellowship Program. Miller's research has focused on the conflict between direct democracy and representative government. He has a forthcoming article entitled, "The Davis Recall and the Courts."
Andrew Busch, associate professor of government at CMC, joined the faculty this fall from the University of Denver's political science department, where he received the Teacher-Scholar of the Year award in 2002. His research interests include American elections and public policy and the Reagan presidency. He has published 7 books, including The Perfect Tie: The True Story of the 2000 Presidential Election (2001) and Horses in Midstream: U.S. Midterm Elections and Their Consequences, 1894-1998 (1999). Busch received his B.A. in political science and history from the University of Colorado, and his Ph.D. in government from the University of Virginia.
Dinner will he served at the normal time with commentary continuing throughout the course of the meal. Due to the popularity of this event, dinner reservations are for CMC persons only.
U.S. Operations in Afghanistan: Military Objectives and Broader Strategic Goals
Colonel Michael W. Boardman recently returned from Afghanistan where he served as the lead Military Intelligence Officer for Combined Joint Task Force 180, which is the senior military intelligence officer position in the country. In his Athenaeum talk he will discuss U.S. national objectives in Afghanistan, and address difficulties that the United States, the United Nations, and Coalition operations have had in pursuit of those objectives.
Boardman will be speaking from a personal and strictly unofficial perspective, as his comments are neither approved by nor consistent with official Army or Department of Defense policics.
Boardman was born June 18, 1952 and raised in Spokane, Washington. In 1974 he was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Relations from Claremont McKenna College and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army. He earned a Doctor of Jurisprudence from Willamette University, Salem, Oregon, in 1977, and a Master of Arts in International Security Studies at the Navy War College in 1997. His military education includes the Military Intelligence Officer Basic and Advanced Courses, the U.S. Army Airborne School, the Special Forces Qualification Course, the Army Command and General Staff College, and the U.S. Navy War College.
Colonel Boardman's visit to campus will provide a wonderful opportunity for Claremont cadets and community to meet with him and to hear about the United States' on-going efforts in Afghanistan.
Where is US. Foreign Policy Headed Now That the Election is Over?
LUNCH, 11:45 a.m., LECTURE, 12:15 p.m.
Rarely has a Presidential election been so heavily dominated by foreign policy concerns as in 2004. Does the outcome herald continuity or major course corrections? What are the prospects for change in American strategy for responding to the challenges posed by Islamic extremists? Heading off nuclear proliferation in Iran and North Korea? Repairing the rift with Europe? Reducing our dependence on Middle East oil? Fostering a Great Power Concert in Asia? These are among the issues that Dr. Armacost will explore.
Michael Armacost has been a Shorenstein Distinguished Fellow in the Asia/ Pacific Research Center at Stanford University since September 2002. He previously held the position of President of The Brookings Institution from October 1995 until June 2002. During his twenty-four years in government, he served as U.S. Ambassador to Japan, U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines, and Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, and occupied senior policy responsibilities in the National Security Council and Department of Defense. From 1993–1995 he was Distinguished Senior Fellow and Visiting Professor at Stanford University's Asia/Pacific Research Center.
Dr. Armacost was educated at Carleton College, Friedrich Wilhelms University, and Columbia University. He has taught and lectured at Pomona College, Georgetown University, Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, and International Christian University (Japan). He is the author of three books; a recent book Friends or Rivals? The Insider's Account of U.S.-Japan Relations (1996) assessed the relations between Japan and the United States in the post-Cold War era. Dr. Armacost is the recipient of the President's Distinguished Service Award, the Defense Department's Distinguished Civilian Service Award, and the Secretary of State's Distinguished Service Award.
Armacost is currently the Freeman Foundation Visiting Professor of Asian Affairs and is teaching a course this fall at Claremont McKenna College called Topics in U.S. Relations with Asia. The Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies is honored to sponsor Ambassador Armacost's speech.
Virgil's Tale of Four Cities: Troy, Carthage, Alexandria, and Rome
The political subtexts of Virgil's Aeneid (19BC) have greatly interested recent scholars. How does the poem connect its legendary story of Aeneas to the politics of Virgil's time? What attitudes does Virgil's poem express toward the newly established Roman empire under Augustus? How does the poem differentiate between Romans and others? Princeton classicist Denis Feeney will examine these issues in his Athenaeum address.
Professor Feeney is a leading authority on the literature and culture of classical Rome. He has published two books on the interaction between Roman literature and religion: The Gods in Epic (1991) and Literature and Religion at Rome (1998), as well as articles on Virgil, Ovid, Horace, Catullus and other Latin poets.
A native of New Zealand, Professor Feeney was educated at the University of Auckland and at Oxford University, and taught at the universities of Edinburgh, Wisconsin, Bristol, and Oxford before joining the Princeton faculty as Giger Professor of Latin in 2000. In spring 2004 he was Visiting Sather Professor of Classics at the University of California, Berkeley, where he delivered a series of lectures on his current area of research: how ancient Romans thought about time.

Lost in a Sea of Smart Phones

This is so true. I don't understand why people go to live events then don't LIVE through the experience. I haven't ever taken a picture or video at a concert, but I remember every one of them.
- February 1, 2013 at 11:33 AM
At risk of sounding like an old fogey, I'm with you 100 percent!
Folks, stick your phone in your pocket (or purse) and enjoy the concert! But you know what? They'll LOVE their cr@ppy recording!
I fear listening to real music - with real dynamics and real acoustics is lost on the current generation. Too many low-rez MP3s on bad headphones or twiddly little speaker docks.
People! Get a small ZVOX and plug in to something that tries to reproduce a balanced sound!
OK, old fogey rant over.

I could not be more in agreement. I'll admit, I had a knuckle-headed moment and tried it once at a Rush show while they played The Analog Kid. Everything about the video and Audio quality from my Nexus phone was so horrid, it made it clear to me that it was a waste of time and energy. Also, like you said, for the period of time, I was not living in the moment.
It's the curse of the digital age. Nobody is present. I was guilty for a few minutes, but learned my lesson when I got home and played back the miserable footage. New rule, one pic with your friends, one pic from your seat view, one pic when the band for comes out, then put the thing away and enjoy the show. It's an efficient compromise I think?

OMG! You are so right!!!!!!!
- February 7, 2013 at 1:26 PM
Completely agree 100%...but you did forget one additional bit of annoyance.
Apparently it is more important to photograph yourself "with" the band or "at" the show than it is to share even pictures of the band. Two weeks ago I watch the girl in front of me post at least a dozen pictures...of herself. Hair back, hair up, with beer, without beer....
Social media's fascination is the self-imposed importance everyone now has in their day to day experiences. Very few under 30 years old lives in the moment. Their focus is on the perception of the moment; what it says about them and their friends (for being in or out of that moment with them). Very sad really.

I may be interested.
First of all, I maybe not switch.
But this league is for the other posters who wasn't able to join rbow league. I'm trying to get nolaslim to help with the controlling of the league, but this league would be an all around league that has a rookie draft every year! This league will go as a normal fantasy league do, such as if your team lead with points you get as many points as there are players playing in this league.EXample: we have 22 posters in the league, and the leader of points get 22 points(because of the amount of players). And etc. with rebounds & so on. Also other posters vote for the best teams in order! The best team (which is choosen by other poster)get bonus pointS & so on as you all should know!
It would have a rookie draft, every year! & if you get tired of playing you may turn your team over if you want!
Now if there a lot of posters interested, we will go threw with it.
Please leave thoughts has where trying to make sure all poster have fun!
I this goes threw I would post the other details. This league has nothing against rbows, at all! Nothing but love as I love what he done with his league.
So are you guys in?

There's a forum for this type of thing, if you didn't already know.
Also I'm waiting to hear back from say-what about making a forum for the sim league, if that's a go I will make a thread asking what year we should start and who wants in.

Can i be in both leagues
Stay Classy, New Orleans Pelicans
Now we need more posters to join! And someone to step up as commissioner and co-commissioner.
Any takers?
so this is just regular fantasy league like on espn or yahoo?

HR Sim League - Washington Wizards
In for both. It's be neat to get into the 5th or
6th on the first league before we start another.
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
i'd be down
We are getting posters! Yes, now we need commissioners!
We need 2 commissioners! Someone pleases step up to the plate!
Nice idea to have another league. I just saw rbow's league a few days too late so I'm very interested in participating in this one (of course as a GM, I would be an awful commissioner). If possible I would like being the Sonics.
Could you explain what your idea of the rookie draft exactly means? Is it that this league would not be scheduled just for one year (which also may change the value of younger players in this league)?
Learning from the other league I suggest that rules, especially trading rules, should be set before the game starts (no offense to rbow at all).
yup set the rules for the trades first, and try to figure out how to make the draft faster

What is a Closure?
A Groovy closure is like a "code block" or a method pointer. It is a piece of code that is defined and then executed at a later point.
Simple Example
Note that in the above example, "hello!" is printed when the closure is called, not when it is defined.
Closures may be "bound" to variables within the scope where they are defined:
Closure parameters are listed before the
-> token, like so:
-> token is optional and may be omitted if your closure definition takes fewer than two parameters.
A closure without -> , i.e. {} , is a closure with one argument that is implicitly named as 'it'. (see the next section for details) In some cases, you need to construct a closure with zero arguments, e.g. using GString for templating, defining EMC Property etc. You have to explicity define your closure as { -> } instead of just { }
varargs could be used as parameters, refer to the Formal Guide for details. A JavaScript-style dynamic args could be simulated, refer to the Informal Guide.
Implicit variables
Within a closure, several variables are defined that have special meaning:
If you have a closure that takes a single argument, you may omit the parameter definition of the closure, like so:
this, owner, and delegate
this : as in Java,
this refers to the instance of the enclosing class where a Closure is defined
owner : the enclosing object (
this or a surrounding closure)
delegate : by default the same as
owner, but changeable for example in a builder or ExpandoMetaClass
Closures as Method Arguments
When a method takes a closure as the last parameter, you can define the closure inline, like so:
In the above example, the
collect method accepts a
List and a
Closure argument. The same could be accomplished like so (although it is more verbose):
More Information
Groovy extends
java.lang.Object with a number of methods that accept closures as arguments. See GDK Extensions to Object for practical uses of closures.

lei shi heroic
lei shi heroic
I havent killed Tsulong and Sha in HC yet, but the most irritating ones are:
Protectors HC
Will HC
Ta'yak HC
Ta'yak is a god damn normal mode with every ability hurts like hell, and Will is an oversized Spine-Trashfest. Protectors are retarded not only because if you sneeze in the wrong moment and you fail interrupt you can wipe, but also if Regail (if still alive) is not interrupted while corrupting waters it can asicly annihilated the poor tank with its machine gun lightning spamming.
Heroic Ambershaper. Despite being 15/16hc it's still frequently skipped (and, consequently, Shekzeer heroic) by my guild due to people's utter incapability to deal with the construct properly, even after 2/3 months of doing the fight. I personally don't understand how people find it so difficult, but apparently it is, and watching the same mistakes week after week on it has to be the most soul destroying way to spend one's evening.
However this tier overall is full of plain DULL fights. Ones that come to mind are Will, Lei Shi, Tsulong. All bore me to tears. This content really does have a lack of stimulating, interesting fights. Vizier is at least amusing, and Spirit Kings was fun until the 70th wipe due to someone triggering Darkness (and this was pre-nerf where you only actually continued with 1/4 pulls, har har LET'S RESET.)
Last edited by Skillpadde; 2013-01-27 at 02:12 PM.
Lei Shi is the worst for me, but it'd be quite fun if she didn't have her "Hide" mechanic i'd imagine.
Oh, and Spirit Kings when the order wasn't fixed!
How has no one said Garalon yet? Whatever. Out of the fights I've done, he's my vote. (5/6H MSV 3/6H HoF)
Garalon sucks because of RNG with when he decides to do a 180 and cleave. Really dumb bullshit programming that feels like it's as broken as Rhyolith.
Sha heroic was amazing apart from the fact that there was zero healing requirements for 95% of the fight, and very high dps requirements aka making Disc Priests ridiculous and other healers worthless here. Loved the mechanics in last phase.
Other than that, most of the fights were ok if they just balanced healers in 10 man just a little bit (Hinting towards Disc being handed all the fun and usefull tools, and Shaman being brought only to give Priests 70k Rapture procs, otherwise useless on almost all of the fights. (Talking 10 man here)
To answer your question, it must have been fights like Feng hc, where there isn't really anything to do a all if you heal with a Disc Priest as a Resto Druid. Good fight, but Disc gets all the responsibility (like on 90% of the fights this tier, but the other fights atleast have other mechanics making you not fall asleep)

3 manning all Challenge Modes on GOLD! - Youtube.com/MyCelar
Tsulong or Sha.
For two very specific reasons -
Tsulong having Night adds spawn right on top of a sunbeam, leading to a wipe (we spent 17 wipes there this week for our third kill. Maybe a third of those were due to people dying to silly stuff like Nightmares and not getting dispelled etc, the remaining two third were fucking adds and sunbeams).
Sha's dread thrash in P2. When your BiS geared warrior tank gets gibbed through 4-5 cooldowns, you just know the ability fucking sucks. You're so reliant on a lucky dodge that it's silly. You have to mitigate more than 2M damage, which means a 75% reduction total just to survive without a dodge/parry.

Sha of Fear Melee hit You 372908 Physical. (766625 Overkill) (Critical)
Begging us to buff is sometimes easier than trying to beat the boss.(Source)
All 3 endbosses are the actually the worst of the tier. Usually the endbosses are supposed to be better but T14 continues the Madness of Deathwing trend of just being boring. None of them have any interesting mechanics at all. They're just like any old mid-instance boss but with three times as much health.
I'm not BiS, but shield block + shield barrier + demo shout is enough to tank all 6 attacks without dodging any of them. I only pop swall/ask for externals if i'm nowhere near topped before a dread thrash.
Each hit is ~275k on a warrior tank. 275k - 20% for demo shout is 220k a hit. 220kx6 = 1.32m before shield block.
Shield block is another flat 30% reduction (Without critical blocking which I have over a 50% chance to do) which takes it down to ~924k before barrier.
A full 60 rage shield barrier without 4pc is ~300k absorb on H Sha with vengeance.
So that's 624k with a WORST case scenario without even popping a major cd. (No dodge/parry/crit block).
Again, sorry for offtopic, but that just bugged me.
I'm not saying it happens often, but it does happen, and I'm 99% sure that I've seen death logs of upwards of 325K hits from sha on him.
http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/r.../?s=485&e=1605 look at the death log of Eddy here - 200K, 183K, and then a 432K hit (2x critical blocks and last one not? Seems to be 300K/275K/185K blocked damage if I read it right).
I mean, thats quite far from your "hits for ~275k"-statement. A bit earlier in the log, sha hits him for 325K, too.
If it's capable of hitting for upwards of 400K, it'll be capable of doing that for dread trash too.
Regardless of that, what about a guild that doesn't have a prot warrior decked out in heroic gear? A DK ceartainly will get blown to pieces, there's not much they can do. Same goes for a bear, and especially a brewmaster. Paladins might be able to chain enough cds, but I don't know enough about them to be sure.
It's madness all over again really - one class can pretty reliably survive due to class mechanics (this time it's warriors instead of DK's) and if you don't have one, you're screwed. It's just bad design, really. They could have made trash a mechanic like WOTE, where you'd be given a few seconds warning to GTFO of the way to survive, have sha hit in a random pattern or something and make sure that there'd be severe punishment for just running away.

1) Paying attention to his swing timer + his energy generation rate/timer on submerge. I've killed it 4x so I generally always know whether or not he'll hit the thrash before he submerges, or vice versa. No issue there, personals are ready.
2) Derping and mistiming, popping a cd and wasting it. I call for a cocoon + sac + use any remaining cds.
3) Not noticing the buff and failing miserably despite the fact my WA for thrash is a picture the size of 1/4 my screen.
Sha of Fear hits Éddy 432016 (B: 185150)
There is no physical way that sha can hit that hard on a tank. Either that's a bug or he applied NaF during his thrash (Happened only once to us during prog).
I've never been hit for higher than 300k, unless Weakened Blows has fallen off the boss (generally when he's running at you just as you hit p2) or unless I had naked and afraid. When we first killed it I was.. 505. I just cycled Swall/LS into the dthrash soaks.
Dk's do get blown to pieces. Our DK usually has to soak 1 dthrash during p2 and it just rips him to shreds. He just uses purgatory.
Druids are the most OP tanks for it, ridiculous dodge chance with SD + their mastery buffs armor.
Monks.. can't comment.
Paladins are the strongest behind druids. SHoTR every dthrash + can AD for an oshit button that provides immortality for 1 dthrash (even during NaF).
(Our first kill was Warrior/pally/pally and every subsequent kill warrior/pally/dk)
I'll just stop replying now.. I have a knack for taking things offtopic.

if those are the hits you're refering to, then he died because of naked and afraid.
nvm, raxxed replied :P
Regardless, though, it's still a very fucking stupid mechanic. Druids are reliant on dodging shit, which is, when all comes to all, unreliable. They have a huge dodge bonus, granted, but they are still more likely to get smashed with RNG than someone who can reliably reduce it with cooldowns (if something can go wrong, it will go wrong). I guess we just have to disagree on it, anyway - I know for a fact that our warrior tank's one of the better out there, and if he says he can get RNG-gibbed and he does, then I'm going to go with what he says. I haven't tanked this encounter, so I don't really know. And as long as a mechanic so hugely favors a specific kind of tank (Paladin, Warrior, to an extent druid), then it's still a stupid encounter design, much like spine. "You use a DK and brewmaster maintanks? Oh well, go fuck yourself and gear up a pally, better luck next time".
I hate Garalon with a passion.

For me it's Ambershaper hc, but only because our ppl are incapable of handling the abo buttons. We have like ~100 wipes on him so far and are nowhere near a kill yet. I'm amazed our raid leader hasn't enraged yet, cause ppl are making the same mistakes over and over ... and over...
One guy in our raid made fun of it once by playing "Push the button" from sugarbabes in TS, but now it's not even funny anymore.

Customer Reviews for On Sale Bali Semi-Sheer Panel Track Window Blinds
"Great choice for sliding patio doors!"
By Bill from Bluffton, SC
Terrific product! Well constructed and handsome when installed. Outside light gives an almost oriental effect .View this product
"Fantastic Blinds"
By WaMo from Yakima, WA
These sliding panels from Bali are exactly what we needed. We were able to order a sample of several different materials before we selected the "Barley" pattern. The instructions were simple and I was able to easily measure the custom dimensions and install the finished product on my own. Not only do these panels look amazing, they filter out a lot of light without the blackout effect so it is more natural in the room. The installation was simple and the hardware is so light it is sure to never sag. Also, the track is very well made which leads to a very smooth open/close motion. We have already recommended Bali blinds to our friends since they are all commenting on how great they look. They are worth it when you get over the high price tag!View this product

As many people know, mold is pretty ubiquitous: It can be found on last week's loaf of bread or discovered in an old container way back in the fridge containing some mystery food (also known as the kid's science experiment). It can often be found along the lower edges of your shower and in your garage. Mold doesn't need much to take hold -- just a little moisture and some food. Throw in some warmth and a little time and those countless unseen spores will start to grow and reproduce. Many people suffer ill effects from exposure to mold, so keeping it at bay is always a good idea.
There are many ways to curtail mold's growth and spread; mold cleanup can range from full-scale warfare using a host of toxic chemicals to a gentler, more common sense approach using natural materials.

Hi everyone,
I am new to the forum, as semi-new to beading. I work with seed beeds and do brick, peyote, and loomwork, and a little bit of embroidery. I am looking to create my first horse tack set (western breast collar and one-ear headstall.) However, I'm not sure what stitch would be best.
I would consider doing a tubular peyote for the headstall as the diameter of the leather is not so large. However, there is no way I'm doing it for the breast collar because it is a pretty solid and wide piece of leather. I'm trying to figure out how to back the beadwork, if I need to, how to, etc. I've never done much of any real backing before. I also am at a loss as to what backing material to use.
I need a material that is very sturdy, won't rot or tear with heavy use or by getting covered in horse sweat. Obviously, I'd like to use leather. However, I don't know too much about leather. What kinds are appropriate? I've heard buckskin will rot with horse sweat. And is there a type of thread that is more appropriate to use to take my beadwork onto the backing? (something again, that wont rot when exposed to the elements).
Thanks for all your feedback everyone! I'm very excited about this project!
Wow, by the time you are done you will be an expert in "bullet proof" beading. My humble ideas to start you off. I'd think about using something like Ultra suede instead of leather if the leather is going to rot. Ultra suede is faux leather. I'd definitely use a doubled strand of Fireline fishing line in maybe an 8 or 10 pound weight (that will depend on the size of the holes in the beads. If you go with something like that, I'd lean toward bead embroidery as it is pretty solid compared to other bead stitches. There are several methods that would work, backstitching where you stitch down several beads at one time and then stitch back through them, and/or couching where you stitch beads down and then throw a loop over ever gap between beads. Look these up to get a clearer idea. The piece that you bead embroider will then be sewn onto the actual leather breast collar. Let us know what ends up working for you though. Inquiring minds just need to know stuff like this. Donna
Thanks for your reply! So, this ultrasuede... is this stuff really durable and handle moisture well? I will also look into the heavy-duty Fireline. I'm wanting to use size 11 Delicas. Aside from embroidery, is there another stitch that you would say would be suited to this type of work?
I am not positive that ultra suede is what you need. It does come in different weights/thicknesses and I believe one of it's earlier uses was for clothing that looked like suede but was more manageable. I'd visit some sewing stores and ask questions of them. Maybe someone who makes western clothing could be helpful. If you are going to use delicas, you will probably have to stick to 8#. Depending on the stitch........for instance square stitch puts a lot of passes of thread through each bead (at least 4 and if you do any reinforcing 6). So you will need to judge what stitch you can use. Square is pretty sturdy, peyote has only one pass through each bead and in my (not so) humble opinion would tend to break way sooner.. Also with delicas watch that you don't use the dyed beads, as they will age faster. Stick to the tried and true basic opaque beads for best results.
I really hope someone else will jump in here and give you some additional assistance. Most of my work is loomed and mounted on backing and framed or hung up. So not the same as some too cool horse wearing it. Donna
So, I'd suggest not going completely around the tack, and sewing the beads to only the outside of the tack. This is to prevent wear on the beads, but also for the horse's comfort. If you bead all the way around the headstall it's going to rub.
Ideally, you'd be best to bead the piece before the tack was actually sewn together so you could put the beads directly on to the leather/nylon of the tack. Probably you have the tack altready made.
So, sewing it onto ultra suede seems like a good idea. You could use embroidery, or you could loom a piece and then stitch it on. Either way this will need to be stitched to the leather/nylon itself, or you will need to make a sleeve that will cover the piece of tack. A sleeve would have to be tacked in some way to the tack or made really snug so it doesn't turn. Lacing it would probably work, but again you'd have to make sure that there were no knots or such that might cause rubbing on the horse.
You would need a wicked sharp needle to sew it to the leather. The curved leather needles you can get at Tandy Leather are probably the best bet. Wear gloves!
Thanks for the note! I was thinking about using Fireline (6-8 lb) and looming the pieces. I was also planning on sewing the work to the tack (already made tack), and then covering the back with a cover. Do you think this is a good idea?
I'm not too familiar with ultrasuede. It is waterproof and very durable? Obviously, the material will get wet from horse sweat along with covered in dust, etc. The backing has to be very sturdy and good.
I was considering using a pigskin or calfskin to make the sleeve or to back on. What do you think of this?
Thanks for the information!
Fireline will be good, I like the 8 lb. Just don't leave it out in the sun. At least not for extended periods of time. I use it for purses when I loom them and it seems to be the best for strength, no stretch, and durability. I only worry about the sun a little, as someone pointed out that it is fishing line and by law must degrade in sunlight. Now, that said, I think it would have to be unrelenting day in and day out sunshine, so I think it'll last long enough! :)
I use Ultra suede for hair slides, and barettes, but it seems to be used for everything from shoes to industrial to marine and automotive so I'm pretty sure it's a safe bet. If you wanted to get really fancy, and pretty cushy for the horse, you could make the back of the sleeve with sheepskin :).
I don't think I've ever use pig skin, only because it's not the most easily available to me. I think the biggest thing with leather is to make sure it's the right weight. I'm not sure that is the right word, but basically you have to make sure that you are using the right thickness. You can get several different types, like chap leather or garment leather, but if you are getting it from a good supplier they can probably help you choose the right one. I like to use leather, but it is not always as durable as a synthetic.
I've also seen tack done with the beadwork forming a kind of channel with leather edges overlapping the edge of the beadwork.... I've never done this but I'll try to find a picture later.
I hope you will post a photo of your work. I'm sure it will be great!
Wow cowgirl, I'm sorry I did not see this earlier as I am an experienced horsewoman and experienced in bead embroidery (though not as experienced as others, such as Donna). My suggestion would be to embroider onto "Lacys stiff stuff" and then sew your completed piece to leather or nylon tack that is already made. You could then disguise the sandwiched sides by edging with beaded stitches. I would not suggest making a halter completely of beads without the reinforcement of leather or nylon unless it is just for decor and not to be worn. I don't know about your experiences with horses, but I've had leather head stalls broken just by one of my fillys tossing her head when she was ornery.
Sharon Mc
Thanks Sharon! I haven't used Lacys stiff stuff yet. Is it going to be durable enough to withstand the stress of being in the sun, dirt, and potentially getting wet from horse sweat?
I am planning on stitching straight onto the pre-made leather tack, though I'm not sure yet how I'm going to be able to stitch through that thick of leather without taking it to get pre-punched by someone with a leather sewing machine. Would it be better to stitch all the way around the tack with the lacys (so that it would have contact directly with the horse)?
I have tried every search engine and reference I can and I do not find any reference that Fireline or any other line is required to degrade in sun light. I have fished for 60 years and never heard of that kind of law. Nylon will degrade, but Fireline is not made of a nylon base. I would not worry that it will fall apart being exposed to sun light.
Etsy.com/shop/buttonsandshanks Delica's galore
I agree with you shanks. I have made many things over my beading career. I starting out using Nymo (before Fireline), than changed to Fireline. I have had the Nymo items fall apart after just a short time span, but my Fireline just keeps giving me joy. Like the Timex, it just keeps ticking.
Happy Beading!!
Small-town USA.
OK, I went and did some fishing and came across some information about UV rays and Fishing line. beadstudio.com/faq.php#12
Apparently monofilament is the one that will break down in the sun, anything that is made by or with "dyneema" or gel-spun polyethelene is protected against UV rays so it won't deteriorate in sunlight. This includes Fireline
So, no worries any more.
Polyethelene is rather bullet proof stuff.........years ago we had poly dishes for our big dogs, they sat outside and held their "outside water". Those dishes got carried around, chewed up and generally flogged (when empty) and years later looked much better than I'd have ever guessed. The very top surface discolored a bit from the sun, but structurally they were very sound.
Mono is what the strands of beads and crystals come on, and they break easily, and often embarrassingly drop beads all over.
