As last second preparations are underway for the 146th annual State Fair that begins Thursday, sisters Deanna Spence and Jodie Wiggins of La Grange look forward to what has become an annual tradition of competing in Raleigh.
Spence, 15, said has been showing pigs since she was 7, and enjoys going to the state fair every year.
"I was nervous at first," Spence said. "Now that I've been doing it for a while, I enjoy getting out in the area."
Wiggins, 7, said she enjoys watching the pigs run out into the arena.
The hogs that Spence and Wiggins show are born and raised at the Kinston home of their grandfather, J.W. Wilson.
Wilson said he has been raising hogs since 1974, and he lets his granddaughters pick out the pigs they want to show when they are born. He said he enjoys the time he gets to spend with his granddaughters.
"It gives us special time together," Wilson said.
Regardless of the outcome in Raleigh, Wilson he wants it to be an enjoyable experience.
"The important thing is for us to go up there and have a good time," Wilson said.
Wilson's wife, Myrtle, said showing livestock is a family affair. In addition to Spence and Wiggins, she said she has two granddaughters in Wilmington who also compete. She said the experience is good for them.
"It teaches them responsibility," she said.
Eve Honeycutt, the agriculture and livestock agent for the N.C. cooperative extension in Lenoir and Greene counties, said there will be 13 representatives from Lenoir County and two from Greene County at the fair.
Honeycutt said kids will be showcasing a variety of animals, including hogs, cattle and goats.
She said she is in charge of a lot of area livestock shows, and it is at these shows where competitors prepare for the state fair. She said she also helps the kids learn about their animals, so when they are in the show ring, they can correctly answer questions asked by the judges.
"The local shows are where they get a lot of their practice," Honeycutt said. "It gives them a chance to work on their show skills, and get their animals ready for what they will face at the state fair."
Honeycutt said competitors from Greene and Lenoir counties tend to do well at the fair.
"Our crowd is pretty competitive," Honeycutt said. "A lot of them usually bring high quality animals. In the past, some kids have brought home grand-champion and reserve champion prizes."
The N.C. State Fair runs Thursday through Oct. 27 at the N.C. State Fairgrounds in Raleigh. Livestock competitions will be held every day, except this Sunday, in the Jim Graham building, Kelley building and Exposition Center.

Direct connect.
When Shimano introduced its Shadow line of derailleurs, it was a big departure from the norm, but it offered better clearance and enhanced shifts due to a re-positioned B-knuckle. This, however, required an additional link. While sufficient, there's a growing trend of simplifying mountain bikes -- both in favor of reduced weight and reliability. Thus the introduction of the new direct mount standard for Rear Derailleurs found here on he XT Shadow Plus RD-M786.
If you're still using traditional hanger, the RD-M786 comes with a link installed so it's backwards-compatible. The direct mount, however, eliminates the need for the link, effectively reducing flex, wear, and weight -- all good things to mountain bikers. On compatible frames, the system also allows easier wheel changes with thru axles. Another big change is the stabilizer switch trickled down from XTR and Saint derailleurs.
When engaged, this switch helps to eliminate chain slap and dropped chains by increasing spring tension. This is a valuable option for suspension systems that require chainstays and pivots located close to the rear deraileur. the RD-M786 retains all the last models improvements, including the direct cable path. Your shift housing can enter the stop on the derailleur without the traditional loop of excess housing that often was the victim of contamination and a source of poor performance.
Shimano uses tried-and-true aluminum components in the XT derailleurs. All of the knuckles, linkage plates, and cage sides are made from it. So while it may lack the wow factor of the carbon fiber-laden XTR Shadow, it's more affordable, and if you've been running XT derailleurs as long as we have, you'll know that you'll get plenty of mileage out of it.
The RD-M786 is available with two cage lengths -- Long (SGS) and Mid (GS). The length of the cage determines the overall chainwrap capacity, or how big of a tooth difference it can accommodate between the biggest gear and the smallest gear. Total difference can be found with this equation: big chainring minus small chainring plus largest cog minus smallest cog.
For example, the long cage (SGS) option will work with a 24/32/42 chainring configuration (18t difference) plus an 11/36 cassette out back (25t difference). This meets the maximum chainwrap capacity of the long cage derailleur (43t). The mid length Shimano XT Shadow Rear Derailleur RD-M786 cage (GS) has a chainwrap capacity of 35t and could be used for a single or double ring/bashguard set-up as the 11/36 (25t difference) plus the 24/32 chainring (8t difference) does not exceed its range.

No more chain guide
The clutch mechanism really eliminates chain slap and chain drop. I was able to remove my front chain guide and bash guard on my 1x10 setup and have not had any drops. Awesome.
I plan on doing a lot of steep hill climbing this year and it's been suggested that I use a mtn bike rear derailleur on my road bike to get a 1-1 gear ratio. Would this derailleur be a good choice?
Jon J
The Shimano Xt rear derailleur will not be compatible with your road shifters. The pull ratio between Shimano's newer road and mountain groups is not cross compatible.
Ronen Sarig
never drop your chain again
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I used to drop my chain 3-4 times per ride. I ride pretty aggressively - a blur LTC (5.5" travel bike) on rocky terrain. used to have the non-clutch version of this derailleur. upgraded to this, haven't dropped my chain since. literally.
Ian Thomas
surprisingly good
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
my last 2 derailleurs were shimanos, and those broke pretty soon after i got them, so i gave shimano one more chance before i switch to SRAM, and apparently they heard me. this is one of the best derailleurs I've had, the shifting is really smooth, but you do need to adjust it now and again. solid, i would recommend it.
Trying to figure out whether I need medium...
Trying to figure out whether I need medium or long cage for my 1x10 setup. Chainring = 32t, Cassette = 11-42 (11-36 with 17t removed and 42 added on top).
Super late answer but... Medium would be fine. Short would probably be better but they don't make one.

Like a Ninja
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Bought the medium cage silver when I got rid of my big ring and went to a 2x10 setup. It matched up fine since I have XT everything else as far as the drivetrain is concerned. Easy to set up as well, just had to find the right manual online though.
Road bike use?
Has anyone paired this or a different Shimano MTB rear derailleur with 10spd Ultegra shifters? Running a compact Dura-ace drivetrain (but Ultegra shifters) and with one ride this summer (Harpoon B2B) I want to run a casette that's bigger than 28. Thanks!
It sounds strange, but 10 speed Shimano road shifters are compatible with 9 speed Shimano mountain bike derailleurs. Yes, you can still use all 10 gears on your cassette. You need a 9 speed Shimano mountain bike derailleur to work with 10 speed Ultegra shifters because their cable pull is identical. That's why you see 9 speed mountain bike rear derailleurs on cyclocross bikes with 10 speed road shifters (and 10 speeds on the cassette). It allows you to use a bigger cassette in the back or a couple 9 speed mountain bike derailleurs have a "clutch" in them to help prevent chain slap and chain drops.
If it was SRAM, all 10 speed parts are interchangeable with all 10 speed. Not so with Shimano.
Ive ordered the XT Shadow 10spd long cage....
Ive ordered the XT Shadow 10spd long cage. I have 9 speed so I figure that will work ok. I can't get the derailleur to shift the full range. I have backed off the stops all the way. What is up? Is it the wrong deraileur? I have the triple chain ring configuration.
My experience has been a 10 speed shimano derailleur will not work properly on a 9 spd cassette with 9 speed shifters.
This derailleur only works with 10 speed shimano systems. At a minimum you will need a new 10 speed rear cog, 10 speed chain, and 10 speed rear shifter.
I too wanted to use the Shimano Shadow Plus clutched derailleur but then saw it only came on the 10 speed version. I read that it will work with a 9 speed if you use a SRAM 9 speed shifter. I have not confirmed this myself, but do a search and you will see, here is one reference http://faqload.com/faqs/bicycle-components/drivetrain/using-a-clutch-rear-derailleur-with-9-speed-or-even-8-speed
It's Everything Expected from XT!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I upgraded from an XT without the Shadow clutch to this and it's sweet to not hear that chain beating my chainstays to death. The shifting is what you would expect from the XT Group...smooth, crisp and responsive. But the clutch is the icing on the cake.
Do everything
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've said this before. XT is the workhorse of mountain biking. Not only is it durable but it is respectable. I'd put it on my own bike if I wasn't such a weight weenie.
No Issues
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
It has been shifting perfectly on my bike for 8 months with SLX shifters. I really like the clutch that keeps the chain from jumping around. Unfortanetly I sometimes forget to turn it back on when I remove a wheel.
Best RD EVER!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
So I broke my old SLX RD and want to upgrade my bike with new drive line components. Went for all SLX again with the dyna-sys, but saw that the SLX RD did not have the stabilizer. So I went for the XT group and wow, wow, wow, wow the shift are crisp and clean even when caked in mud. Being able to change out my thru axles with the extra space is always a plus. Almost went with the XTR over this but all you are getting is carbon worked into the RD and I am not a pro so I don?t have money like that to spend.
Will this Shimano XT Shadow plus RD-M786...
Will this Shimano XT Shadow plus RD-M786 rear derailleur work with my Shimano Deore shifters?
What year are the shifters? If they are dyna-sys then you will have no problems at all.
Mike Nelson
A Big Leap
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
On my old drivetrain, I always needed to shift to a big-big gear combination on long descents to keep the chain quiet. With Shadow Plus, I don't really worry about chain noise or chain tension in any gear.
Nicholas Barile
A Perfect Pair with the XT Double Cranks
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The Shimano XT Shadow Plus Rear Derailleur is definitely the answer I was looking for...
Coming off a beat X9 group I was looking for an upgrade without breaking the bank. I opted to got Shimano over SRAM because I run all their road stuff and hey why not. As for now, as long as I run a 2x10 I don't think I'll go back. The shifting action is fast and reliable in the rear, and the shadow plus derailleur clutch prevented chain slap like a dream. I no longer sound like a firecrackers exploding in a metal rubbish bin when ping ponging over rocky trails or braking on stutter bumps. For the price...can't beat it...and just a few more grammos than the gucci XTR version.
Can this Shimano XT shadow plus rear...
Can this Shimano XT shadow plus rear derailleur work with Shimano crank 44/32/22 and front derailleur Shimano Deore ??
Yes, as long as you get a long cage to handle the chain capacity.
Will this work on a Santa Cruz Blur TR...
Will this work on a Santa Cruz Blur TR Carbon?
Yep. So long as you have a Shimano shifter.
Can this be used as a 9 speed?
Can this be used as a 9 speed?
No. 10 sp specific
Actually, if you happen to have Sram 9spd shifters, then yes you can use this derailleur. I'm currently running 2x9 using X9 shifters with no modifications necessary to do so.
Fred Franzelbar
Much better when using double.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This replaced the same model in sgs or long cage. The medium cage works much better with 2X10 for many reasons here are a few. Shorter chain [ 6 links lighter ] and less chain movement up and down. Lighter and less obtrusive than long cage. Quicker shifts even with the clutch activated. Looks better because it is more compact.
Brian Bernard
The Best
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
95% of XTR for half the price? Sign me up. An adjustable (yes, adjustable, just doesn't come with the wrench in it) clutch to prevent chain slap? Even better. I've run XT derailleurs for years and never had any trouble whatsoever. That'll keep me coming back.

If there was ever a symbol for relaxation, a low-slung Adirondack chair overlooking the lake has to be the iconic image. Yet sometimes a more social arrangement is called for, and plopping down in a tête-à-tête allows you to accomplish a cabin trifecta: comfort, good company and a snacking platform. So, what it'll be: Adirondack chair or tête-à-tête? Solitude or companionship?

Guest blog by Andrew Binovi, ASPCA Federal Legislative Manager
With all the political gridlock in Washington D.C., it seems that Congress has nearly ground to a complete halt. So it was very exciting late yesterday when the U.S. Senate considered two important measures to help animals in need!
First, the Senate took up the cause of canine heroes who have served in our military and passed a provision that streamlines the adoption process for retired military dogs and authorizes the Department of Defense to provide veterinary care in the animals' retirement without any cost to American taxpayers. Military dogs perform dangerous, critical tasks, and it is our duty to honor these dogs and ensure they are cared for after their service is complete. The House passed similar language in their version of the military bill earlier this year.
Then, just moments later, the Senate passed the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act by a unanimous voice vote. This bill, introduced by Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Mark Kirk (R-IL), along with Sens. Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Scott Brown (R-MA), will give law enforcement additional tools to crack down on animal fighting. The legislation will make it a federal offense to attend an organized animal fight and will impose additional penalties for taking minors to animal fights.
Take Action!
We are encouraged that in the twilight hours of this Congress, animals in need have not been forgotten by federal lawmakers. Our team has been working around the clock with members of Congress to ensure passage of both bills, but we still need your help. Please call your representative and ask him or her to support the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act in the House. Animals victimized in this grisly blood sport are in desperate need—and they are counting on us to get the job done!
Yeah, this is great. I love animals and whatnot, but there are way more important things going on in this country that need to be fixed. School reform. Immigration laws etc. This is what we waste our time on? This country IS going to the dogs if this is how we prioritize.
Thank You, there is alot of people working very hard 24-7 for the animals in need of our protection. This is a great day in America the Home of the Free!!! YES!!! Very Happy.
Music to my Ears... keep up the Good Work <3
These are 2 steps in the right direction.
However, it would have been equally nice if Senate Republicans weren't so afraid of the right wing crazies and challenges from the tea party that they'd ratified the treaty yesterday as well.
I can't imagine how they managed to walk past Bob Dole and cast that vote, making this country look like a pathetic shell of itself, since the U.N. treaty is based on OUR law, and only asks the rest of the world to come up to OUR standards, doing nothing to change our own.
Good thing the tea party isn't totally against dogs...
I am truly impressed and hope the fight continues to convince ALL of congress, EVERYwhere to pass more and more bills for animal rights.....military or not, NO MORE dog fighting.....PLUS , not only just a slap on the wrist of animal abuse crime..ALL should be labeled as ANIMAL TORTURE and pose the utmost of fines/jail times!! Simple as that..........I PRAY :)
I am so happy this is going into effect! These dogs deserve good homes and to be taken care of but having family in the military who don't get health care after they retire when they do so much like these dogs it's bitter sweet. I hope this is a step towards giving our men and woman in uniform the health care they deserve! Everyone needs to be taken care of if they fight for our country two legged, or four legged!
To everyone posting about this isn't a priority it may not be in your book but you know what you should do? Write your Congress Person and ask what is being done about other key issues. Don't complain be proactive! This got changed because people fought for it they didn't sit behind a screen and complain.
Good news for our fellow creatures! Thank you lawmakers for doing something right! We can all be proud.
i agree that this is a stepp in the right direction but lets not forget this stupid BSL which is used against every american due to the stupidity of a few. if you ever need to get a morgage and or insurance on your house and you have a dog that is on the bsl list you wont be able to even if your dog is insured and a trained service dog and has the k9 "good citizenship award". this thing called the bsl needs to be done away with because it is a form of discrimination
I am so glad to hear these bills were passed by the Senate. I hope they will do more in the future for the horse slaughter issues.
Thank you to Maria Cantwell & all the members of the Senate & Congress so much for suporting & passing the two bills concerning Military canines & Dogfighting. I hope they continue following these bills & that they will also bring into law a bill that makes discrimination of dog breeds (BSL) illegal.. And i ash that these same humane leaders seriously look into the legalities of Horse Slaughter....

August 13, 2012 - 11:00am to 04:00pm
Presented by Portland General Electric
Summer days at the zoo offer an opportunity to experience zoo animals in a dynamic way. Throughout each day, zoo staff present wildlife shows on the main stage and concert lawn to amaze and inspire audiences.
This summer's show, Wild About Oregon, is a free-flight bird show that focuses on Pacific Northwest species. Experience birds such as eagles, red-tailed hawks and turkey vultures soaring directly overhead.
Show times
11 a.m.
12:30 p.m.
2 p.m.
Each show lasts approximately 15 to 20 minutes. At 3:30 p.m., visitors can stop at the Animal All-Stars display at the stage, take photos and ask zoo staff about the show animals. All shows are weather-dependent and are not presented on summer concert days. On those days, birds are on display around the concert lawn.
Shows run daily, June 16 to Sept. 3.

Paarl Gym's 41-match winning streak came to an abrupt halt when they lost 5-0 to Bishops at the WP Schools Day at Newlands on Tuesday. Paarl Boys', Paul Roos and Wynberg Boys' also won their matches.
Bishops were more physical than their counterparts and dominated the collisions. Their No 8, Nazaam Carr, was the destroyer-in-chief, disrupting 'Gimmies' at the breakdown and winning several turnovers for his side.
Meanwhile, Paarl Gym were woeful and lacked composure at crucial stages. They also failed to look after possession which cost them in the end.
A heavy Gym pack was shifted from one side of Newlands to the other by an intelligent Bishops backline. Flyhalf Sam Lane controlled the pace of the game and the Bishops' backs broke through the Gym defence on numerous occasions.
Bishops looked sharp and moved the ball well into space, while Paarl Gym were uncharacteristically beaten up front and seemed shellshocked when confronted by such physical opponents.
Coaches Nico Momsen and Philip Taylor have a lot of hard work ahead if they are to get Paarl Gym back to their winning ways, but yesterday's win will have given Bishops plenty of confidence ahead of their match against St Andrew's College.
In other games on Tuesday, Wynberg outmuscled a determined Bellville High 20-5. A scrappy first half was followed by a more refined performance by Wynberg. 'It wasn't a bad effort and we took a lot of positives out of this game,' Wynberg coach Gus Leslie told keo.co.za.
Paarl Boys then beat a dogged SACS outfit 15-5 after the teams went into the break at 5-5. Paarl pivot Gavin Haupfleich impressed with his silky skills and kept the 'Boishaai' pack on the front foot.
In the main curtain-raiser, Paul Roos beat Rondebosch 10-0. They dominated the set phases and the contact areas, allowing their big pack to get over the gain line. The match was dominated by the referee, who never allowed things to flow.
Wynberg Boys' 20 Belville High 5
Paul Roos 10 Rondebosch Boys' 0
Paarl Boys' 15 SACS 5
Bishops 5 Paarl Gym 0

+Hit Caps for Bosses
76 comments:
- Anaea said...
I've just started looking at this too. :) For shadow priests, the applicable talent is "Shadow Focus" and with 5/5 in that talent, the hit cap for priests is 75 (or 76 according to some, which might be the result of rounding the values).
- 6:30 AM, July 20, 2007

- Avandaara said...
Also good to note that in a typical raid (especially the 25-toon ones) classes can often get a buff to decrease the amount of +hit you need on gear.
For example, the Elementalist Shaman's Totem of Wrath talent that gives +3% spell hit/crit. So, a mage with Elemental Precision standing in range of the totem only has to have a +10% hit chance.
With such raid buffs (if those who give them are consistently in attendance) putting all the +hit on gear would be a waste.
- 6:02 PM, July 20, 2007
- Johnny said...
Thanks for this. Also, Troll hunters with bows and Dwarf hunters with guns have a hit cap of 116.
- 2:40 PM, July 21, 2007
- Shadowisp said...
Thanks for the article, very enlightening.
Suggestion though I would expand the change the way the "per class" hit ratings are displayed for melee.
I would suggest
* (Main Hand/Two handed)
* (Offhand Weapon)
Cause even though a Dual Wielder needs an excessively high 403 Hit Rating as a base... that is only for the offhand, thier Main Hand should only require 136 Hit Rating as a base.
That way a rogue will know the minimum required to alway hit with thier main hand and energy attacks will be.
- 6:15 PM, July 21, 2007
- Shadowisp said...
That said, I would love to see what the exact numbers required for a rogue to have +Hit Cap for just Main Hand attacks.
- 6:17 PM, July 21, 2007
- GSH said...
As far as I know, and from what research I've found, the 25.5% miss rate applies to both Main Hand and Off-Hand.
However, you are correct that Special attacks only have the 8.6% miss chance.

While I understand the reasoning behind the Dual Wield hit cap, I'm kind of partial to 27.6% miss compared to 25.5%. Since 2-handed weapons only need 3.6% to hit L73 bosses--1% per level difference (not sure about this math) + 0.25% miss for defense-weapon skill difference--then one would assume that dual wield would gain 3.6% too. Does dual wield only gain 0.5% per level difference simply because you're using 2 weapons? or are the hit calculations that much different?
- 8:17 AM, July 22, 2007
- GSH said...
I'm not 100% sure of the mechanics behind the miss chance. I got most of my information about dual-wielding from the Elitist Jerks forums, and they generally know better than I do.
As well, the 308 number is pretty much gospel in the rogue community, so I'm fairly confident in that number.
- 12:17 PM, July 22, 2007
- Ralex said...
Humans get +5 skill for maces and swords, which I believe translates into +8 hit for those two weapons [among other things].
So, humans hit cap should be lower for those two weapons than for other weapons.
- 9:18 PM, July 22, 2007
- Kiryn said...
"Draenei Shamen/Mages have a passive +1% to spellhit, and draenei warriors have a passive +1% to meleehit, both affects their entire group, but doesn't stack afaik."
You forgot the Draenei paladins, priests and hunters :P
Mage/Shaman/Priest: 1% to hit with spells to all party members within 30 yards.
Warrior/Paladin/Hunter: 1% to hit to all party members within 30 yards.
It does stack... in a very limited way. A draenei can get the buff from another draenei to get 2% to hit, but a non-draenei party member would not get the same buff twice.
- 12:03 AM, July 23, 2007
- E said...
Just a small thing, but the rogue talent to increase weapon skill is called "Weapon Expertise", not "Combat Expertise" as you have listed it.
Great post though. It's nice to see all the classes listed together. Gives me a one stop shop when I get into these discussions with people. ;)
- 7:14 AM, July 23, 2007
- Dave said...
I thought there is always a 1% chance to miss regardless of your hit rating. Does that mean the +hit cap is actually 1% less than what is listed here?
- 8:10 AM, July 23, 2007
- GSH said...
Dave, there is a 1% chance for spells to miss, but not for physical attacks. I've updated the post to note that.
e, thanks for the correction.
To all the others who commented on racials, you are correct. I'll try and add a section listing all the racial modifiers.

Druid's + hit is also effected by Feral Combat Skill stat using this formula.
Rating/3.9 * .04 increase to hit
- 12:18 PM, July 23, 2007
- Cala said...
In case you do want to add it, Priests also have a talent in the Discipline tree called Focused Power, which gives (admittedly) three spells an additional +hit rating. Focused Power gives an additional 2%/4% to hit with Smite, Mind Blast, and Holy Fire.
- 1:05 PM, July 23, 2007
- Keith said...
Thanks very much for this post. It's great to have a reference for the hit caps needed for all different classes and specs.
One thing I wish you had covered, however, is the effect of weapon skill.
- 1:15 PM, July 23, 2007
- Happypappy said...
Shaman can spec the Totem of Wrath as well, allow an extra 3% hit, so totaling 12% with talents.....the idea of that is that our spells / mana is so ineffcient we can collect +crit in the place of +hit to allow mana regen in a way....
So essentially, spec'd for full raid purposes we only need +50 hit, to hit the cap...
- 8:56 PM, July 23, 2007
- Anonymous said...
You forget shamans totem of wrath which adds a 3% hit chance with spells. A true elemental shaman has this up if he is casting spells.
- 9:49 AM, July 24, 2007
- Jim said...
Keep in mind that you mustn't sacrifice too many other stats just to max your hit rating against bosses.
You may go from 87% to-hit to 99% to-hit, but if it means your spells now only hit half as hard, then your DPS will be much lower overall.

Very interresting,
But what about the dual special attack Mutilate ?
- 1:23 AM, July 26, 2007

That, and Stormstrike. I assume they are both included in "Special Attacks," though not based on the main hand?

who says that a rogue needs 8,6 hit for styles? its 5% !
- 5:02 PM, July 26, 2007
- GSH said...
5% against level 70s, 8.6% against bosses (level 73).
As for Mutilitate/Stormstrike, I'm not sure. I would guess that they are 8.6%, like all the other specials.

This is great info, but for say a fury warrior, whats the point where X amount of AP is more of a benefit then Y amount of Hit rating. Anyone know where i can find this info.
- 6:43 AM, July 30, 2007
- Dr Occ said...
Mutilate is effected by the Special attack hit rating.
However over 50% of your damage as a Rogue is from normal (*white) dmage. the remainder is dots, finishers, and specials.
Any PvE rogue will keep SND up constantly. and the more of those white attacks you hit, the more damage you do, the more poisons that proc. etc.

Affliction warlocks should only need 3.2% hit, dots hit chance is devided by amount of ticks, lowest being drain life. 16% /5 = 3.2 ... suppression is useless it is 10% of 16% which is 1.6% which again even on drain life its only 0.8% chance to hit for 5 talent points lol. If ure a warlock that has never tried raiding without hit chance, try it and u will see..

This is the pure PVE spec that I opted for as a Lock. I'm still debating on whether or not the last point should go in Ruin or UA... but having spent so much gold on respecs, this build is the best DPS I've had. Just my 2 cents

Mages also have a talent called Arcane Subtelty which reduces target's resistance to all your spells by 10.
This can be specced into ontop of Elemental Precision: Reduces chance your frost and fire spells get resisted by 3%
- 6:36 PM, September 02, 2007
- GSH said...
Despite the wording of the talent, Arcane Subtletly actually gives you 10 Spell Penetration, and not 10 Spell Hit. It's good for lowering resistances, but not avoiding misses.
If Blizzard actually made a spell miss a "miss", it would be so much easier.
- 7:58 PM, September 02, 2007
- Zethus said...
Thanks for the clarification, when wording gets in the way u know something is wrong, especially when some mages have +spell penetration gems
- 12:45 AM, September 06, 2007
- Sydd said...
Yeah, the guy saying spell hit was divided by ticks is wrong. I'm doing about 1050 DPS with my current spec if you wanna check me out. Destro is more reliable for AoE fights, however. Also, penetration is generally unecessary unless you're dealing Nature damage. CoElements and CoShadow is 88 penetration and the mob SHOULD be debuffed with it.

Human Rogues using swords need 8 less hit rating to cap out.
For example: if ur cap is 308 with all the talents, u will only need 300 hit rating to be at the ceiling.
- 1:21 PM, September 07, 2007
- Syrien said...
I am a bit confused by the wording of the two mage talents elemental precision and arcane subtelty. They both mention chance to resist for target and chance target resists respectively - how come one is spell penetration and one affects spell hit? I'm asking partly because I have the elemental precision talent which you say means you need to aquire less hit rating from gear, but my hit rating doesn't show any added bonus from this talent. An explanation would be very much welcome!

Draeni Aura...
Kiryn is correct it stacks for Draenis reason being it has a Passive and a Buff versions.
Each Draeni has it passive for themselves (reason it does not appear as a buff all the time)... but a display error doesnt make it show on character sheet :P Its there (confirmed from GM)
So Passive + Buff = 2%
That said in a raid, waist of it double stacking the aura spread it around :P

The problem here is that if a spell "misses" or is "resisted", you get the same message: "resist". But there are really two different causes for that one message.
As to how we know which is which, theorycrafters at places like Elitist Jerks have conducted experiments showing what each one does, and it's generally accepted that Arcane Subtlety is the same as Spell Penetration (affects resistances), and Elemental Precision is the same as Spell Hit.
I'm asking partly because I have the elemental precision talent which you say means you need to aquire less hit rating from gear, but my hit rating doesn't show any added bonus from this talent. An explanation would be very much welcome!
Because Elemental Precision only applies to some spells, not all your spells, your character pane won't show you the effect. You have to mentally remember that you get an extra +3% spell hit to Fire and Frost spells.

Hi mate, I've got a little site and was looking for more content to add. It deals with being an AOE Paladin for levelling. Came across your site in my searching and will have a read.

Ehm uhm... you can NEVER achieve 100% hit chance, the 1% miss is always there. So rogue for example, would need 308 hit rating (with talents) to get 99% hit chance on bosses.

To the above comment:
Actually melee works differently than ranged and spell attacks. You CAN eliminate the chance to miss completely for melee attacks. This was not always the case but has been since before TBC was launched.

"Because tanks are in front of the boss, and can have their attacks dodged and parried, expertise rating is twice as valuable as hit rating for them. "
I know what you mean here, but what you have written is technically untrue, due to another 2.3 change: The chance to resist a Taunt/Growl/RD is now reduced by Hit Rating.
So, for the purposes of melee damage, yes, expertise is twice as valuable. It will also reduce missed Sunders etc.
However fewer resisted Taunts would be much harder to mathematically evaluate.
(BTW - love the site here!)

Where does the 308 come from when according to your ratings, 363 is the minimum needed with talents.
Confused now :S

308 was the old pre-2.3 cap.
Meadhbh, you are correct. I should probably make a note about that.

Speaking as an affliction warlock, spell hit translates to as many as 5 freed up talent points when u hit the 202 cap(not needing suppression any more). If this doesn't show the importance of spell hit I dont know what does!!

Any curious Enh Shamans have to remember, w/ 9% Hit, Windfury and Stormstrike will never miss. On top of that, our best abilities trigger on critical hits, increasing our speed and AP. If you talent for the 9% Hit you can tend to put off hit rating as a secondary stat.

I have read on the World of Warcraft forums that mages who raid as frost spec only need 123 hit rating. This has something to do with frostbolt having a glitch or something, but I would like to point it out.

I get tired of people telling my my hit on my warrior is too low when I'm sitting at about 13% with +hit and talents.

For mages, Elemental Precision is currently bugged wrt frost spells - it gives an extra 1% per point thereby giving a frost mage with 3/3 Ele Prec a hit cap of 126.

Correct me if I am wrong but Orcs get 5 extertise (=19.75 expertise rating) when using an axe in either the main hand or the offhand.
So I as an orc enhancement shaman have 91 expertise rating cap when using a mace/fist weapon but 68.25 expertise rating cap when using an axe in a hand.
If I am not wrong it could be added in the list, for enhancement shamans and warriors - orcs ofc.

So I'm confused. Your chart seems to say that Arcane Mages only need to have 76 hit rating, while fire/frost mages need to have 164. Isn't that backwards, since elemental precision helps your hit rating?
In other words, Arcane mages need to have a lot more gear with +hit on it than fire/frost mages, right?

No, Arcane Focus helps hit rating for arcane spells. An Arcane mage needs less hit rating (assuming she only casts arcane spells).

Hey, just wondering, is 325 hit rating; 24 expertise rating with 9.2k health and 2.1k AP unbuffed good for a raiding rogue. Or should I aim to rais emy hit and expertise a little and drop some of that wonderous agility/AP???
Thank-you in advance

Blobbie: Get as close to hit capped as you can, your white damage is likely to be 2/3rds of your DPS, especially for sword spec and slice and dice.
Totemcrazy: You need the 88 hit rating, however you are likely going to have totem of wrath down all the time, and i have heard they stack (at least the crit, unsure about the hit). So you should go for 50 hit rating, then damage and crit.

Cortez's Winner in the 82nd Minute Advances Men's Soccer to Conference Tournament Semifinals
November 5, 2013
BANNER ELK, N.C. - Freshman Paco Cortez's game-winner in the 82nd minute catapulted the Pfeiffer men's soccer team (10-8-1) to an impressive upset victory over Lees McRae (9-7-1) on Tuesday evening. The win was the first in the Conference Tournament since the Falcons defeated Belmont Abbey in penalty kicks on Nov. 2, 2010.
Freshman Nathan Regis and senior Seth Dey accounted for the remaining goals for Pfeiffer, who won by a final score of 3-2. Dey and Aldo Ramirez were credited with assists on Vazquez's winner.
Nicolas Dulac earned the win in net, his ninth of the season, making six saves.
"It was a very hard fought game," said first year head coach Bob Reasso. "Not a lot of great soccer was played by either team, it was more about competing and heart and our guys came through in the end."
The Bobcats struck early, as Matthew Cureton scored just 2:14 into the match. Regis had the answer in the ninth minute as he put home a penalty kick to tie the score. Moments before the end of the first half, Dey controlled a failed clearing attempt and ripped a shot from 30 yards out into the far corner.
In the 67th minute, Jacob Copeland scored his first of the season, setting the stage for Cortez's heroics. Dey's throw in was deflected by Ramirez to the freshman who put his shot inside the far post for his second goal of the season.
Lees-McRae held a 19-15 advantage in shots and a 5-3 lead in corners.
The Falcons now march on to the semifinal round of the Conference Carolinas Tournament and take on Erskine at 7 p.m. on Friday night. The Falcons defeat the Flying Fleet 2-1 on Oct. 26.

Whether the state of Mississippi is out of money and needs to cut education, mental health and most other state budgets apparently depends on which Governor Barbour is at the podium.
Is it the one who has been singing the blues for months about the lack of money for essential state services and whacking education budgets, forcing schools to cut teaching positions for the coming year?
Or is it the political posturing Governor Barbour, who appears intent on spending thousands, and perhaps hundreds of thousands, of dollars of Mississippians' money for lawyers to challenge the constitutionality of health care reform legislation passed by the Congress and signed into law?
Barbour says there is a "pivotal constitutional issue that needs to be addressed: Does the federal government have the constitutional authority to force American citizens to buy insurance and then tell them what they can buy and at what price?"
We already are required by law to buy car insurance and pay for Medicare, so what's the point?
We don't understand the governor's willingness to fatten the wallets of private lawyers in an expensive lawsuit that already is being undertaken by other states anyway. We think Attorney General Jim Hood is showing admirable common sense in putting off jumping into the fray on this issue.
Could it be that the governor has let his talking-head position as chairman of the National Republican Governors Association get in the way of his day job as governor of Mississippi?
We think so. The governor should be spending his time and the state resources coming up with ideas to get more Mississippians into jobs and more state tax revenue to pay for essential services.
Carrying on political grandstanding at our expense isn't in the budget.

Genna Martin / The Herald
Sultan High School senior Riley Jordan, 17, is a volleyball player and 4.0 student who plans to study astrophysics at Whitman College.
A: Yes. I've always lived here.
Q: What is like growing up in a small town?
A: It's definitely different. You know everyone. I think going away to college will be a shock because I've grown up knowing everyone.
Q: You have a 4.0 GPA and scored 2000 on the SAT. Why is doing so well in school important to you?
A: I'm really competitive. I've always wanted to be the best. I also think if I do well it will help prepare me for success in the future. I also knew that I needed to win scholarships to help pay for college.
Q: Who influenced you the most to be an accomplished student?
A: My parents have been the main driving force. I've wanted to do well so they would be proud of me.
Q: Your principal said you've taken every college-level course offered at the high school. Can you tell us about your coursework?
A: I've taken calculus. I've taken every science class the school offered. I've also taken advanced placement literature, language, government and biology.
Q: Why do you think it's important to work so hard in high school?
A: It sets you up for success. If I work hard now, working hard in college should come easier. I want to be successful in the future.
Q: Where is your best place to do homework?
A: I usually do my homework at the dining room table. It's a central location. I can plug in my laptop and I can have a snack while I'm doing homework. I average about 1 to 1½ hours of homework a day.
Q: What is a Washington Aerospace Scholar and when did you receive that honor?
A: It's a statewide program that I signed up for last year. You take mini lessons and have homework about the history of space exploration and the future of space exploration.

GRAHAM — Green Army Men is a collection of energies from an eclectic combination of three men who take time out of their busy schedules to get together and play music.
"Green Army Men are an unlikely group of musicians consisting of a physician, a pharmacist and a network engineer. These professionals put aside their scalpel, mortar and pestle and router/switch from their day jobs to come together and renew their spirit of alternative rock," explained Alan Johnston, bass guitarist and vocalist.
The band also includes Scott Bennett, the creator of the Green Army Men, on lead guitar and vocals, and Bryan Parrish on drums, percussion and backing vocals. Bennett, a Burlington native and graduate from the University of North Carolina's School of Medicine, started the band in 2009 and has had the current line-up since 2012.
"Bryan spent countless hours in the basement blasting out tunes by the likes of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Oasis, Weezer, Blur and Seven Mary Three. I started out playing guitar and keyboards in original-material bands in the 1980s while living in London, England," Johnston said.
Bennett continues to pass down his passion for music to his three children. The band's music is an accumulation of its personalities and since there is only three members, they each have a lot of responsibility.
"The band embraces the concept of the three-piece rock band," Johnston said. "Each member must bring energy and presence to a three-piece group to create a sound that is bigger than the sum of its parts."
Green Army Men is a self-declared rock, alternative and punk band that features a smart edge. Johnston said the group's musical inspiration comes from "the quirky, smart rock music of the 1980s and 1990s new wave punk and alternative music movements."
This band could certainly be described as fun and different, but its members also have good hearts who do what they can to support the community.
"We were recently honored to be asked to play for the second time at the 'This Race Blows' benefit for Cystic Fibrosis. We are also playing a fundraiser (Woofstock) for the Humane Society of Alamance County this fall, another event that we have previously supported," Johnston said. "Green Army Men has a history of giving back to the community at events like these."
Green Army Men will perform from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday at 104 E. Elm St., Graham, as part of the First Fridays portion of the Musical Chairs Concert Series.
If it rains, the concert will be canceled. Be sure to bring chairs or blankets because seating won't be provided.
You can call the Leisure Line at (336) 222-5147 for updates or get more details at www.artsalamance.com or by calling (336) 226-4495.

GARETH DUNCAN watched the Blue Bulls score three tries in the final quarter to secure a 47-27 win over WP in the U18 Craven Week day two feature match in PE.
It was a closely-contested first half, which saw WP hold a slender 27-26 lead at the break. However, a strong finish to the match saw the Blue Bulls record a comfortable win to set their path to the 2012 unofficial final.
Outside centre Jurie Linde, fullback Jaco Hayward and wing Marcus Kleinbooi ran in three tries in a space of 12 minutes, while the schoolboys from the Cape failed to add a point to their tally after the break.
The opening stanza of the match was an attacking feast. WP grabbed three tries, while the Bulls scored four. However, the former led thanks to the boot of flyhalf Handre Pollard, who added three conversions and two penalties.
It was a messy start to the second stanza, as both teams struggled to hold on to possession. But the WP resilience faded as the Bulls picked up momentum and eased to victory.
WP – 15 Jason Worral (Paul Roos), 14 Dalen Goliath (Paul Roos), 13 Michael Hazner (Paul Roos), 12 Wesley Cupido (Paarl Gym), 11 G Hermanus (Paarl Gym), 10 Handre Pollard (Paarl Gym, c), 9 Pieter Schoonraad (Paarl Boys'), 8 Rikus Bothma (Paarl Gym), 7 Jacques Vermeulen (Paarl Gym), 6 Ramon Samuels (Paul Roos), 5 JD Schikerling (Paarl Gym), 4 Sebastian Ferreira (Paarl Boys'), 3 Liam Hendricks (Paarl Boys'), 2 Chad Solomon (Paul Roos), 1 M Nortje (Tygerberg).

South Region
1308 E. 5th Street
Metropolis, IL 62960
Update: The 1802 Fort is closed to the public until further notice.
the scenic splendor of southern Illinois with plenty of outdoor fun and
time-telling events at Fort Massac State Park. Overlooking the mighty Ohio
River from the southern tip of Illinois, this majestic location has been
preserved and maintained since 1908, when it became Illinois first
state park.
Today, Fort Massac
is a captivating reminder of days gone by, a fascinating excursion through
the entire course of American history, and the perfect place to relax
in soothing natural surroundings and explore the life style of our young country.
historic site is a replica of the 1802 American fort that was on site.
The historic fort area contains two barracks, three block houses, officer quarters,
well, stockade and a fraise fence. The site also has the archaeological
outline of the 1757 French Fort. Aa visitors center/office
complex with a museum complete the infrastructure.
of pioneer life of the 1700s take place during the annual Fort Massac Encampment
and several living history weekends each year to bring the past to life,
letting you experience it yourself.
With all this, and
the picnicking, camping, hiking, boating and hunting opportunities available
in the rest of the 1,450-acre Massac County park is an alluring,
complete and self-contained family vacation spot.
The rich history of
this site begins before recorded history, when native Americans undoubtedly
took advantage of its strategic location overlooking the Ohio River. Legend
has it that Europeans took this same advantage as early as 1540, when
the Spanish explorer Hernando DeSoto and his soldiers constructed a primitive
fortification to defend themselves from hostile native attack.
The French built Fort
De LAscension on the site in 1757, during the French and Indian
War, when France and Great Britain were fighting for ultimate control
of central North America. Rebuilt in 1759-60, the structure was renamed
Massiac in honor of the then French Minister of Colonial Affairs, and
came under fire only once, when unsuccessfully attacked by a group of
the end of the French and Indian War in 1763, the French abandoned the
fort and a band of Chickasaws burned it to the ground. When Captain Thomas
Stirling, commander of the 42nd Royal Highland Regiment, arrived to take
possession, all he found was a charred ruin.
The British anglicized
the name to Massac but, despite the counsel of their military
advisers, they neither rebuilt nor regarrisoned the fort. This oversight
left them vulnerable and in 1778, during the Revolutionary War, Colonel
George Rogers Clark led his Long Knives regiment into Illinois
at Massac Creek. From these he was able to capture Kaskaskia, 100 miles to the north,
without firing a shot, thus taking the entire Illinois Territory for the
State of Virginia and the fledgling United States.
In 1794, President
George Washington ordered the fort rebuilt, and for the next 20 years
it protected U.S. military and commercial interests in the Ohio Valley.
U.S. Vice President
Aaron Burr and Gen. James Wilkinson, who allegedly drew up plans to personally
conquer Mexico and the American southwest, met at Fort Massac during the
summer of 1805. Edward Everett Hale later used the setting of Fort Massac
and the Burr-Wilkinson plot as basis for his classic historical novel,
The Man Without a Country.
Although ravaged by
the New Madrid earthquake in 1811-12, the fort was again rebuilt in time
to play a minor role in the War of 1812, only to be abandoned again in
1814. Local citizens dismantled the fort for timber, and by 1828 little
remained of the original construction. In 1839 the city of Metropolis
was platted about a mile west of the fort.
The site briefly served as a training camp early in the Civil War, marking the
last time U.S. troops were stationed at the site. The fort was abandoned
after a measles epidemic in 1861-62 claimed the lives of a substantial
number of soldiers of the Third Illinois Cavalry and the 131st Illinois
Infantry, who were using the fort as an encampment.
In 1903, through the
efforts of the Daughters of the American Revolution, 24 acres surrounding
the site were purchased by the state. On Nov. 5, 1908, Fort Massacwas officially
dedicated as Illinois first state park.
and historical excavations were conducted on the site from 1939-42 and
attempted again in 1966, 1970 and during 2002. In the early 1970's a
replica based on the 1794 American fort at Fort Massac was reconstructed off the original
site of the forts. This
reconstruction was brought down in the fall of 2002, when a
replica of a 1802 American fort was constructed. The original site, where all the forts
were built, has the archeological outline of the 1757 French Fort.
The historic site
is open to the public seven days a week. Contact the site interpreter
to arrange special programs for educational, scouting, civic or tour groups.
Fort Massac is the
perfect place for a picnic lunch. Tables, grills and drinking
water are scattered throughout the grounds and children will enjoy the three playgrounds. Four covered picnic shelters are available: one is reservable,
while the others are first-come, first-serve.
Campers enjoy Fort Massac's 50 Class
A vehicular campsites, complete with electricity, a disposal station and a shower
building. Tent camping, and a separate group campground also are available. Camping reservations can be made through ReserveAmerica.
Hiking | Trail Map
The park contains a 1- mile loop trail through grassy woods with the trailhead near the fort. This trail is designated as a Forest Watch Tree Identification Trail and brochures are available in the visitors' center. The 2.5-mile Hickory Nut Ridge Trail shouldn't be missed, as it takes hikers along the scenic Ohio River. The George Rogers Clark Discovery Trail is an 8.7-mile bicycle/pedestrian trail connecting the cities of Metropolis and Brookport through Massac County and Fort Massac State Park. Approximately 4.0 miles of the trail is within the confines of Fort Massac State Park with most of the trail on a dedicated bike path and a small section using a shared roadway.

198,000 people. Several times throughout the year the park puts on living

CIT: Tell us about your current venture.
Canvas. We believe that when organizations and groups more dynamically share the data they are collecting from remote and disconnected employees, team members it changes how we all connect. We make it easy, affordable and elegant for any business to replace any traditional data collection process (think paper form) into a mobile app.
CIT: What advice would you give an aspiring entrepreneur?
1) Don't do this for the money - if you do, that is all you should expect from this process and quite frankly the journey is worth far more then the money. Here's the great thing, if you are here to make your own dent in the world, to change things for everyone - you will be far more successful and in turn the money will come.
2) Listen to that little voice. You are going to get lots of advice on what you should do, sifting through it can be awesomely challenging at times. Sometimes advice from people you trust and even have invested in you will go counter to other trusted advisors. Trust that little voice that you heard when you began this journey. If this were an easy idea and everyone had thought of it there is probably a good chance that you wouldn't be creating a company to do this anyway - so expect that lots of people won't get it, will question your path.
3) Fail fast, iterate often - adjust and move forward: Listen to that little voice, but always be prepared to adjust and do it quickly. In today's market no amount of market research is going to be as good as launching your idea and watching and listening to the market. They will tell you far more than a research study ever could where you should go. It level sets everything. Listen, watch, break things, fail then adjust… and do it quickly.
4) Bring your passion in heaps: People will hate your idea, they will directly refute your conjectures, they will reject you outright. It will seem overwhelming at times and there is heaps of truth in the statement that you will experience the highest highs and the lowest lows in starting your own business. One of my favorite books Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was rejected some 121 times before a publisher picked it up. Bring your passion and determination and bring it big time - it will get you through those moments.

cant you just "frame" it. i dont know much about dark room, but my class had these metal frames which sized your picture and kept it straight/framed perfectly. im not sure how much they were but they had sizes 2X3, 4X6, 5X7, and 8X10 all in one that lined up the edges perfectly straight.
