#3877268 Please, no more tears.
Posted Hackattack3 on 18 April 2013 - 05:38 PM
Yes all classes have offensive and defensive CDs, but they are no where near equal.
I look at my hunter, the burst, the extra tools (dispell/MS/execute), defensive abilities (deter, disengage, master's call, stuns, BW trinket, Roar sac), snares, instant cc, and I feel it has everything in comparison to the other classes that I play. Some classes literally don't have 50% of these abilities or similar abilities. When I lose, there's always something I could have used better or done better.
When I lose on my boomer, that's not always the case, I have 1 way to get out of cc/stuns, if I blow that early and get caught its over. I review my loss and there's nothing I could do better except maybe run a different comp to fill in my weaknesses. Maybe a dk to grip melee off me or spriest to heal me when healer is cced/oom.
Classes with few abilities (like boomer) seem to get compensated with a few very ridiculous abilities so they can compete (solar beam), ring of peace for monks comes to mind too.
I'll give you a typical example of how I "outplay" disc priests on my hunter. I'm bad so a lot of times (especially 2s) a disc will surprise me and run up to me and fear me while I'm drooling and casting power shot or spamming kill command when its on CD. I'll BW trinket and scatter trap the priest followed by silence shot. He could trade his trinket with me, but if he does he's now prime for a swap (no stun DR yet) or I can pop readiness and 1/2 duration scatter trap him again. It's gay and wins a lot of games. He outplayed me by running up to me to fear me but since I have more tools/CDs I win by default.

Disclaimer: The stuff mentioned below isn't targeted to anybody, it's not meant for trolling and neither am I advocating it. This is just a rant about the forums lately, not just arenajunkies, but also the blizzard forms. I wrote this while at work, so it might sound a bit weird cause I wrote it so quickly, but I'm sure you will understand it.
These forums just have gone down the shit hole with the amount of class wining. I literally can bathe in your tears. You guys are just crying all across the boards about every class with the nerfs and buffs that are going on. What you need to learn is that this is WoW... Just like SC2, there is always a counter to you and you're always going to counter some one.
Seriously, I'm sure all of you know there is a class that you can absolutely destroy. Like me, I rape every class cause I'm a god, but the classes I can take a dump on their chest are SP, Mages like no other. I mean, I lay a fat turd on them and they can't do anything about it.
But I'm going to start showing you why whining isn't helping:
1) EVERY CLASS HAS A BLOW YOU THE FUCK UP MACRO.... If you don't believe it, then you're just ignorant and don't know how to stack cooldowns.
3) Every class has a reason as to why they can hit hard or not, why they can live longer and why they're just "OP".
- Rogues: Hits hard during cooldowns, compensates outside of cooldowns with CC. Very vulnerable in a stun with out trinket.
- Shamans: Can easily get globaled if done right, but has the heals to compensate if doesn't get globaled.
- Priests: Has a huge burst output/heals, but makes up for it by using cloth. If you catch a priest with out trinket or cds, he's basically garbage.
- Mages: Same shit has a priest. They'll get tossed around with out Ice Block, but makes up for it with the amount of dmg it outputs.
- Warriors: Theyre dmg is retarded, but that's because they can easily get globaled. I can global a warrior in opener if done right, that's simple. They're defensive's are garbage atm, pre disarm their shield wall and they're fucked; not even second wind will help them.
- Hunters: They take so much fucking damage, but they compensate for the damage they do/cc just like a rogue.
- Monks: Ring of Peace is just retarded. Other than that, they're easily kill-able. Just force their bubble and watch for that first stun reduction garbage for mistweavers. Windwalkers are easy kill targets.
- DK's: They can easily get globaled with out AMS, they take a lot of dmg with out cooldowns and they compensate by hitting hard.
- Paly's: Same shit as a priest. Their worst nightmare is a priest. Priest counter the shit out of palys just cause of MD. Paly's can die really easy, if they get a bubble off and heal through your burst, you're fucked, but if you have a priest in your team, you should be winning. No if's and's or butts.
- Druids: The blink shit might be the dumbest thing they gave a druid, but I understand why, you can literally global a druid with and without his tree form. So of course, the heals need to make up for this. Heart of the wild is a bit op for Boomkins/ferals, but they need some form of defensive because if you jump onto a boomy or feral with out defensive cooldowns, they're fucked.
- Warlock: Same shit as everyone above. If you're playing affliction this season, your dmg is shit. Just play something that will actually be worth playing till they fix it... Other than that as Destruction, your dmg is insane if you get a chaos bolt off, that's a huge IF. Very easy to stop a chaos bolt, if you don't know how too, then you need to quit the game because that's mostly destro locks damage, unless their shadowburn crits you for like 200k. Which happened to me last night, through cloak...... Either way, their heals are crazy, but if you ride a warlock for a few mins, you'll be fine.
With everything I stated above, what is the outcome? EVERYONE GETS HIT HARD AS SHIT NO MATTER WHAT. Every class has some kind of defensive to get out of few things here and there. With out cool downs, every class is like a tissue paper ready to get ripped apart. Every class is the same, we all do a lot of dmg/heals, but we all get blown the fuck up. If you keep dying to certain classes, you need to evaluate what the fuck you're doing and change something in order to not keep dying to them. Learn different rotations for different classes/comps, record your matches, find out what's going on and how to fix it. Instead of complaining, find ways to help each other out on how to control other class and/or deal with them. That's what AJ used to be about. Now it's turned into straight drama as if it's high school all over again.
As my fore fathers once said, It's a fucking game, play for fun or L2P.
Mvp out.

#3870517 Fix arena 1 2 3 in keybindings
Posted Thaya on 03 April 2013 - 02:32 PM
/run SetBinding("key", "MACRO name")
Replace key with the key you want to bind it to, and name to how your macro is called. Leave the quotes.
Once you set it, do this: /run SaveBindings()
to save them (or it'll reset on log out).
Edit: for those of you who are willing to experiment: yes, you can also use SPELL spellname or ITEM itemname.
And the format for key is this: "ALT-CTRL-F", "SHIFT-T", "W", "BUTTON4", etc.

Also, give Spriests something for an 87 talent. Perhaps a freedom to escape from the incoming storm of melee that are about to train them down for the entire game with these new changes.

Basicly instead of giving us some way of not being slowed 24/7 and getting out of roots they gave us a way to do a portion of our damage while were chilling in our novas.
Idk can sound bias prolly does but yea damage from it might still be too high maybe could be nerfed by 10-15% but can't see why ppl whine about it as op if ppl talked more about deadly throw interrupting and having no cd then id say theyr 100% right.

Resilience won't save you - any godcomp or spell cleave above 2.2-2.3k can kill you through all your cds if they get one cc on your shaman. Then again, you play with equally scummish classes so the sp might save you.
Aren't you the one championing the idea of improving AJ, then make moronic posts like this? Try to be constructive instead of just fucking whining and making excuses jesus christ.
#3867814 5.2 vs Wizard Cleaves
Posted kazuhmeer on 28 March 2013 - 04:59 AM
My default spec is warbringer with blitz/leap/bull rush glyphed, but they change game to game more or less.
Against almost every spell cleave I'm specing Juggernaut, dropping Blitz for MS glyph and sometimes dropping bull rush for spell reflection depending on the match up, i.e. queing into the same spell cleave that always goes warrior. Disrupting shout is basically mandatory in my opinion.
As far as playstyle is concerned, I play WPS and we basically train the mage the entire game looking for swaps onto the healer. However, games are extremely situational as a warrior vs wizards. We've adopted the "50 yard line approach", any caster pushing into our team we push right back out. Spriests going for a fear are a big one, just charge/hamstring buys your healer enough time to not eat that fear and waste tremor.
As I said above we sit mage a lot, reasoning being most mages we encounter around 2300+ all run frost bomb and stopping bombs is the single most important thing you can do as a warrior. Incanters+Icy Veins+Trinket means a 1 shot on the orb/bomb or burning a major defensive like swap or link. Using reflect on almost cooldown is equally important.
Often times I see a scenario like a swap onto my spriest or shaman, so I kick the bomb cast. Mage will pet nova me, sheep healer, and start casting a bomb into me. Assuming disrupting shout is down its so so imperative to reflect that bomb, or at least make him use 1 more global on lance to eat the reflect. Buying that 1.5s of time on your healers sheep is pretty critical, thats enough time for your spriest to MD or just try to out last the bad situation you're in with a healer in CC.
Using safeguard effectively is also one of the most important things we can do as warriors. Safeguarding during a deep for the 20% is beyond huge, or clearing roots offensively for a big kill. Also, remember to drop demo flag during a mage icy veins / warlocks demon soul, its only 10% but you need all the help you can get.
I don't think the solution is definite and depends on every match up and how its played but I'm really looking for any suggestions on how you guys play against wizards, its our only really brutal match besides RPS and the better thug cleaves.
#3866831 What we can do to help PvP
Posted Djandawg on 26 March 2013 - 01:24 AM
I have a group of 8 (most of them RL) friends who came back to the game last week. They really liked the content, stuff you can do this expansion, like quests, rep, dungeons, raids, different mechanics, zones and so on. Even though they were relatively high rated players and did many hours of arena every week when they were active, they kinda dropped arena (they all have full honor gear). When I asked them the reason they all said, all classes have everything, signature abilities are given to other classes and everyone has basically too much. It obviously sucks that they changed so much and it is almost a brand new way of doing arena, so maybe a few guides could help but it's mostly the direction of the game that people don't like.

U.K. Mortgage Lender Wants Its Money
By Gren Manuel
Take a look at this ad:
And you get the impression the U.K.'s biggest mortgage lender is wanting its money back.
Certainly that's one possible message of the ads that appeared in the U.K. papers earlier this week from Lloyds TSB, a unit of Lloyds Banking Group PLC, which has about a quarter of the U.K. mortgages on its books.
Lloyds is advertising that "Now's a great time to reduce how much you owe on your mortgage" because of low interest rates. To help nudge homebuyers along it's doubling the size of mortgage overpayments that can be made without incurring penalties on variable rate mortgages.
This is certainly a reversal of message. A mortgage lender advertising the benefits of early repayment is a like a toothpaste maker advertising the benefits of plaque.
And the timing is curious. Almost exactly one year ago, Lloyds pledged as part of a government bailout package to increase gross lending to homebuyers by £3 billion in the following 12 months. The government was holding the bank's arm behind its back to force it to increase lending amid fears that a shortage of mortgage finance would create a downward spiral in housing prices.
Well, fast-forward to today and Lloyds has pretty much lent the £3 billion as promised. So is it now trying to shrink its balance sheet and suck at least some of that £3 billion back in, which may be within the rules but is hardly within the spirit of the bailout?
Lloyds bristles at the suggestion. A spokeswoman said: "To be clear, this is not about reducing our balance sheet but about providing the right advice to customers", adding . She added: "It would be wildly misleading to present this in any other way."
For sure, with interest rates low plenty of homeowners are repaying early. A good proportion of U.K. home loans are at variable rates and repayments have fallen — Lloyds reckons that mortgage payments at the end of last year represented 32% of homeowners' post-tax earnings, a big drop from the 47% at the end of 2008. Lloyds' own survey indicates that one in four homeowners is already paying their lender more than they need to.
But what if other lenders follow Lloyds' lead? If overpayment of mortgages becomes widespread this will depress consumer spending. It's an acceleration of the Great Deleveraging, which may be a good thing conceptually but in the short term will depress other consumer spending and could help enfeeble the U.K.'s weak economic recovery.
And while Lloyds says it's not trying to shrink its mortgage book, if the U.K. does have a double-dip recession all that extra cash that homeowners have paid back could come in very handy.

So it looks like New London's St. Patrick's Day Parade is leaving town.
Members of New London Irish Parade Inc., the nonprofit that took over the popular event two years ago, voted last week to move the parade out of the city.
City Councilor Marie Friess-McSparran, president of the organization, said the parade organizers have been unable to come to terms with the city administration over how much the city would charge for police and public works services.
Mayor Finizio, in one of his executive orders, decreed that any organization that wants to stage an event has to reimburse the city up front for any costs it will incur.
The parade's problem, Friess-McSparran said, is that the city has only estimated its parade-related expenses - $6,500 for police and $1,500 for public works - and will not give a more definite number for several more months.
The means the organization can't establish its budget, take out a permit and begin active fundraising, Friess-McSparran said.
She said the organization has been in talks with other communities about hosting the event, but she declined to name them.
Richard Mastrandrea, vice president of New London Irish Parade Inc., has been leading those negotiations.
Mastrandrea said the organization is close to making arrangements with another community, but he told me they probably won't be ready to release details for another week or so.
I get the impression from talking to people familiar with the pending move of the parade that the new host community is going to charge quite a bit less than New London has estimated.
Since the imminent departure of New London's parade, which has been growing in popularity in its short existence, hinges on the cost of city services, I decided to track down organizers of the popular Mystic Irish Parade, to see how much they pay.
The Mystic parade, which draws as many as 25,000 visitors, actually crosses over both the towns of Groton and Stonington. This year will be its ninth parade.
Leo Roche, president of the Mystic Irish Day Parade Foundation, told me the organization pays about $5,000 combined to both the Stonington and Groton police departments.
That's kind of a bargain, compared to the estimated minimum cost in New London of $6,500, given the size and scope of the Mystic event.
Still, it's not the cost of paying New London that's driving her organization from the city, Friess-McSparran said. The real problem is that they still have only an estimate that they have been told could increase, she added.
Roche said fundraising for this year's Mystic parade is in full swing. He said local businesses are usually generous because the parade generates a lot of traffic downtown.
I tried Tuesday to reach Diarmuid Hanafin, owner of Hanafin's Public House, the Irish pub on State Street in New London, since he was one of the original organizers of the New London parade.
Hanafin was out of town but I spoke with his wife, Catherine, who told me how sad they are to see the parade leave.
"It is such a shame," she said. "The reason my husband started it was to bring people to New London."
Diarmuid Hanafin, marching the 1,000 feet of the short parade route in 2008, four blocks up State Street, called the "baby parade" a "start" toward something bigger.
City Councilor Michael Buscetto III, later a candidate for mayor, was also a sponsor of the original parade. He and other councilors even agreed to reschedule a City Council meeting the night of the first parade to the next evening.
Buscetto not long ago put his house in New London on the market and announced he is moving away.
Now it looks as if the parade he helped organize is leaving, too.

Throughout the summer, we invite specialists to share their expertise daily in the field and through evening presentations. You may want to time your visit at Camp Denali or North Face Lodge to coincide with one of our Special Emphasis Series sessions. Our regular program of guided hiking occurs simultaneously.
Scott Weidensaul is the author of more than two dozen critically acclaimed books on natural history, including the Pulitzer Prize-nominated Living on the Wind, about migratory birds; Of A Feather: A Brief History of American Birding; and The First Frontier: The Forgotten History of Struggle, Savagery and Endurance in Early America. His writing has appeared in a host of publications, and he is a contributing editor to Audubon magazine. His latest book is forthcoming Peterson Reference Guide to Owls of North America and the Caribbean.
A native of the Pennsylvania Appalachians, where he still lives, Mr. Weidensaul's passion is birds, especially bird migration. A longtime bird bander, he directs a major research project tracking the migration of saw-whet owls, and is part of a continental effort to learn why more and more western hummingbirds are wintering in the East. He is a cofounder of Project SNOWstorm, an ambitious effort to learn more about snowy owl migration. Mr. Weidensaul is a frequent visitor to Alaska, where his work has taken him into almost every corner of the state, including Denali, where he is collaborating on a study of the park's migrant birds.
Field trips will focus on Denali's remarkable breeding birds, which will have just returned from wintering areas as far-flung as Asia, Africa and South America. Bird watchers of all skill levels should find these outings rewarding.
Mr. Weidensaul's two evening presentations will explore the wonders and dynamics of bird migration, and a light-hearted look at his field research – a lifetime spent, as he says, "messing around with birds for fun and science."
Dr. Patrick Druckenmiller is Associate Professor of Geology at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. His research focuses on Mesozoic marine reptiles and dinosaurs, particularly those from high latitudes. Dr. Druckenmiller is currently involved in several field-based research projects in the far north; he collects and studies marine reptiles from Svalbard, Norway, and he leads expeditions to numerous dinosaur sites across Alaska, including Denali National Park and Preserve. In his role as museum curator, he oversees the largest collection of Alaskan fossils, ranging from Ice Age mammals to polar dinosaurs.
Dr. Druckenmiller's first presentation will introduce the unexpectedly rich and varied record of Alaskan dinosaurs and other animals from the Mesozoic Era, or Age of Dinosaurs. From this huge geographic region - extending from Southeast Alaska to the North Slope - he will put Alaskan dinosaurs into a broader context by providing an overview of the questions concerning the fossils found in the state, recent discoveries that help answer those questions, how we study these remains, and what its like doing fieldwork in remote corners of Alaska.
In his second presentation, Druckenmiller will focus more specifically on dinosaurs and ancient landscapes in Denali National Park and Preserve. He will discuss some of the park's amazing geological history, long before Denali itself was born. He will also describe how fossilized tracks from the park can provide valuable information about the lives of dinosaurs, the surprising diversity of dinosaurs currently known from the area, and how we use fossil plants to interpret ancient climates of that era. Collectively, he hopes to introduce you to an Alaska you've never before seen.
Dr. David Murray is Professor of Botany and Curator Emeritus at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. He specializes in flowering plants. Dr. Barbara Murray is a research professor at the University of Alaska Museum of the North and specializes in mosses and lichens. Both served as editors for The Flora of North America, a multi-author effort to produce a full treatment in 30 volumes of the vascular plants and bryophytes of North America.
David is especially interested in the origin and evolution of arctic and alpine floras, addressing questions such as where did these plants come from, when did they arrive, and what were the means and routes. His focus is on northeastern Asia and northwestern North America centered on the Bering Strait, a region known as Beringia. Barbara specializes in taxonomy and distribution of northern Alaskan mosses and lichens. Their activities have taken them to cold areas in both hemispheres.
Hikes with the Murrays will emphasize identification of flowering plants and common mosses and lichens.
David will make evening presentations. In the first he will show some of the plants seen on his various trips and comment on their taxonomy, distribution, and natural history. The second will show arctic and alpine landscapes and demonstrate the role cold climate geomorphology plays in the creation of plant habitats. Mix water, freeze-thaw cycles, and gravity and you have the major elements to create distinct landforms, ones common to arctic and alpine areas and thus to Denali.
An active international composer, Stephen's passion for wilderness and outdoor pursuits has led to a growing series of compositions about the national parks of the U.S. He has served as Artist-in-Residence at Glacier, Rocky Mountain, Glacier Bay, Gates of the Arctic, and Denali National Parks, and has written over a dozen park-related pieces that have been premiered in such places as Colorado, Texas, Australia, and Taiwan. His Alaska-inspired compositions have been performed by the Boulder Philharmonic, the East Texas Symphony, and the Chamber Orchestra Kremlin. He is the founder and leader of Denali's annual "Composing in the Wilderness" field seminar, which is offered jointly with Alaska Geographic and the Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival.
Stephen's multimedia-rich presentations will take you into the composer's internal process: explaining how wildlife, scenery, culture, and personal experiences can serve as inspiration for musical compositions. Examples will include excerpts from his own works, as well as those of the great masters. Although no musical knowledge is required, this week will be especially engaging for anyone who has a musical background or loves classical music.
Fran Ulmer is chair of the U.S. Arctic Research Commission, where she has served since being appointed by President Obama in March 2011. Secretary John Kerry appointed her Advisor for Arctic Science and Policy in June 2014, to assist the US Chairmanship of the Arctic Council. In June 2010, President Obama appointed her to the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling. From 2007 to 2011, Ms. Ulmer was Chancellor of Alaska's largest public university, the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA). She is a member of the Global Board of the Nature Conservancy and on the Board of the National Parks Conservation Association.
Ms. Ulmer served as an elected official for 18 years: as the mayor of Juneau, as a state representative and as Lieutenant Governor of Alaska. Ms. Ulmer served as Director of Policy Development for the State of Alaska, under Governor Jay Hammond. Ms. Ulmer earned a J.D. cum laude from the University of Wisconsin Law School, and has been a Fellow at the Institute of Politics at the Kennedy School of Government. She lives in Anchorage, Alaska.
Ms. Ulmer will present two evening programs, "Why the Arctic Matters" and "Everything You've Always Wanted to Know about Alaska, but Were Afraid to Ask."
Tom Walker has resided in Alaska for 50 years. He has been a conservation officer, wilderness guide, wildlife technician, log home builder, documentary film advisor, adjunct professor of journalism, and a freelance writer and photographer specializing in natural history and wildlife. His numerous publication credits include Alaska Magazine, Field and Stream, National Geographic, Newsweek, and Audubon. He has authored over a dozen books, including three books of Denali National Park history. His book Caribou: Wanderer of the Tundra, won the 2000 Benjamin Franklin Book Award in the category of Nature and Environment. In 2006, Walker won the Alaska Conservation Foundation's Daniel Houseberg "Lifetime Achievement Award" for still photography. In 2013, the Alaska Historical Society awarded Walker the title "Historian of the Year" for his book The Seventymile Kid: The Lost Legacy of Harry Karstens and the First Ascent of Mount McKinley, the biography of Harry Karstens, first superintendent of Denali (then McKinley) National Park.
Walker's first evening program, "Kantishna: The Golden Genesis of Mount McKinley National Park", will be tales of miners, hunters, explorers, climbers, and adventurers of all stripes, the people that pioneered the wilderness of Denali. How a small, otherwise insignificant gold discovery indirectly led to the establishment of Alaska's first national park. Walker's second presentation will be "The True Story of the First Ascent of Mt. McKinley". Building on the pioneer attempts to summit North America's tallest mountain, also reputedly the "coldest mountain on earth," in 1913 Harry Karstens led the first undisputed ascent. Prior climbs were marked by deception, conflict, and startling achievement. Both evening programs will be illustrated with historic photographs.
Erin McKittrick and Bretwood Higman combine adventure, science, and conservation in their work as directors of the small nonprofit Ground Truth Trekking. They are veterans of over 10,000 miles of wilderness expeditions, primarily in Alaska. For fifteen years, this married couple has walked and rafted all over the state, from the panhandle to the arctic, including a year-long, human-powered journey along the Pacific Coast. Erin has a M.S. in molecular biology, while Hig has a Ph.D. in geology. They combine their scientific training with on-the-ground stories, photos, and experiences, to inform the public about natural resource issues across Alaska. Erin is also the author of A Long Trek Home: 4,000 Miles by Boot, Raft, and Ski.
Hig and Erin have devoted their time to exploring, researching, and educating the public about what they see as some of the biggest environmental issues in Alaska, including the potential for large scale coal development, large metal mines, and the impacts of climate change. They live and work in a yurt in the 300-person village of Seldovia, Alaska, on the tip of the Kenai Peninsula, with their two young children ages 4 and 6. With little ones in tow, they have completed a 300-mile, month-long expedition along Alaska's Chukchi Sea; a two-month journey on the Malaspina Glacier; a three and a half month, 800-mile walking and packrafting trip around Cook Inlet; and a three-month ski along the coast of the Seward Peninsula in Northwest Alaska.
Drawing from the stories and experiences of their wilderness journeys, Erin and Hig will put on two slideshow presentations. Details to come after they complete their Seward Peninsula expedition in June and adventure out the Aleutian Islands in August 2015!

Since the Academy Award nominated Brooklyn Bridge in 1981, Ken has gone on to direct and produce some of the most acclaimed historical documentaries ever made, including The National Parks: America's Best Idea, filmed in part while staying at Camp Denali.
Ken's films have been honored with dozens of major awards, including thirteen Emmy Awards, two Grammy Awards and two Oscar nominations; and in September of 2008, at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences honored Ken with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
Ken's evening presentation will be in celebration of the 2016 Centennial of the National Park System.
Denver Holt is founder of the Owl Research Institute and the Ninepipes Wildlife Research Center in Montana. As a dedicated, year-round field researcher, Holt believes that long-term field studies are the primary means to understanding trends in natural history. Since 1978, Holt's focus has been owls and their ecology. He has published more than 90 papers and technical documents, and in collaboration with elementary school teachers, has co-authored two children's science books on owls. He was a chapter author on owls for the book, Arctic Wings, highlighting the birds of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska. He spends summers in Barrow, Alaska where his study of snowy owls is in its 24th year—the second longest study worldwide.
In 2000, Holt was named Montana's "Wildlife Biologist of the Year" by the Wildlife Society of North America. His research has been featured in numerous publications and media including National Geographic, the New York Times, PBS and BBC. When not researching owls, Holt is involved in wildlife watching tourism as a natural history tour guide.
Holt's evening programs will focus on adaptations in owls and the breeding ecology of snowy owls. Though it is possible to see owls during the day in Denali, hikes will cover the identification and ecology of birds and mammals in general, and how they're all connected in this subarctic landscape.
One of Alaska's best-known artists, Kesler Woodward is equally well known for his work as an art historian and curator. Mr. Woodward served as Curator of Visual Arts at the Alaska State Museum and as Artistic Director of the Visual Arts Center of Alaska before moving to Fairbanks in 1981. He taught for two decades at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks before retiring in 2000 to paint full time.
Mr. Woodward's paintings, depicting scenes from Hudson Bay in Arctic Canada to the Bering Strait region of Russian Siberia, are included in all major public art collections in Alaska and in museum, corporate, and private collections. In 2002, he served as Denali National Park's first Artist-in-Residence. He has published six books on Alaskan art, including the first comprehensive survey of the fine arts in Alaska, Painting in the North. In 2004, Woodward received the Alaska Governor's Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Arts, and in 2012 received the Rasmuson Foundation Distinguished Alaskan Artist Fellowship.
Evening programs will explore the key role artists played in the rise of the conservation movement in America and the establishment of virtually all of America's first national parks; artists' depictions of Alaska and the circumpolar North; and contemporary artists' images of Denali and environs. He will be available to work with any guests interested in working on their own paintings and drawings of the Denali region.
Award-winning photographer Mark Kelley has built his career around the place he calls home-- Alaska. Mark graduated from the University of Alaska with a double degree in Photojournalism and Northern Studies and worked for the Juneau Empire as a photojournalist for thirteen years before dedicating himself full-time to nature and wildlife photography in 1993. His images illustrate twelve Alaska photo books. Three of his photo books have been awarded a Benjamin Franklin Award. Mark Kelley is a North American Nature Photography Association Showcase winner and a recipient of the Daniel Housberg Wilderness Image Award for Excellence in Still Photography from the Alaska Conservation Foundation. Mark placed first in the 2013 Nature's Best Windland Smith Rice Photography Awards—Outdoor Adventure Category and his winning image is now part of the Smithsonian's permanent collection. Mark lives in Juneau, Alaska.
Mark's first evening program celebrates the wild wonders of Alaska, from the Arctic to Southeast Alaska, and of course Denali. The second program will discuss simple tips and techniques for improving your travel and wildlife images. Our daily field trips will explore the wonders of Denali-- from the grand landscape, to wildlife encounters and the intimate details of the fall tundra environs. We will focus on exploring the artistic elements of composition, finding the decisive moment in each image, and discovering your own creative vision.
*Please note that an additional program fee of $225 for the three-night stay, and $300 for the four-night stay is charged to each Autumn Nature Photography Workshop participant. The workshop is limited to 10 participants.
Dr. Neal Brown worked for NASA in the 1960s, where his interest in auroral phenomena was first sparked. At the time, the aurora was linked to understanding the earth's atmospheric makeup, a key factor in spacecraft travel. Brown went on to direct the University of Alaska's Poker Flat Research Range in Fairbanks, one of the nation's busiest space research facilities and the world's only university-owned rocket range. In 2008, he retired from his faculty position in the Physics Department and Geophysical Institute at the University. Brown is a consummate teacher and has been featured on PBS, the Discovery Channel, and Good Morning America. 2016 marks his 30th year as a Special Emphasis Series speaker at Camp Denali.
Ronn moved to Alaska in 2007. In 2008, he moved to Fairbanks where he fell in love with the magic of the Northern Lights and has built his life and business around them. His goal is to share the magic and the beauty of Alaska with as many others as possible to inspire more people to fall in love with this amazing world. Ronn has been featured in various media from the Huffington Post to CBS Sunday Morning.
Brown's evening lectures will explore the aurora, its myths and science, sun dogs, noctilucent clouds, and other atmospheric phenomena. Hands-on instructional aids and displays will illustrate many of the discussed scientific concepts. Murray's programs will provide spectacular visuals with photos and video of the aurora borealis.
By early September, clear nights are finally dark enough to view the aurora. Join Neal and Ronn in their enthusiasm for the north country's mystical night skies!

MUMBAI: Former IMF chief economist Raghuram Rajan defended his recommendation that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) formally adopt inflation targeting as its monetary policy objective.
Speaking at a seminar of the committee on financial sector reforms, Mr Rajan, who headed the planning commission panel, now professor at Chicago's Graduate School of Business, said, "The central bank cannot manage two things at a time. It has to either manage exchange rates or inflation. It is more appropriate to manage the latter as it is a bigger issue. One should not forget that monetary policy always reacts with a lag."

|Post Harvest Research
Post harvest research at the National Peanut Research Laboratory encompasses all aspects of peanut handling and processing from the time peanuts are dug and inverted in the field until they are unloaded from bulk storage and transported to a shelling facility.
For more information on post harvest research contact Chris Butts.
Peanuts are approximately 40% moisture content when initially dug from the ground and inverted in windrows. They are threshed and harvested after the moisture content has fallen below 20%. Curing continues by forcing heated air through the peanuts in wagons or semi-trailers equipped with a false floor and usually occurs at a facility curing between 50 and 200 individual loads at the same time.
Engineers are conducting small scale research investigating dryer control methods to reduce curing time and energy requirements.
Computer software (Expert Systems) developed by engineers at NPRL aids personnel in managing the commercial curing operation by predicting drying time, suggesting sampling schedules, and providing real time estimates of moisture content. The software also maintains a database of all peanuts cured at the facility for future operation management. PECMAN is available for download and installation at no cost.
For more information contact:
After grading, peanuts are unloaded and stored in large warehouses until they are needed at the shelling plant for further processing and sale to a peanut product manufacturer. Engineers have conducted research to determine proper ventilation and aeration rates. A tool is available to calculate warehouse capacity, dimensions, and headspace ventilation requirements for safe storage.
Engineers are conducting research to look at new storage structures for farmer stock peanuts. Aeration strategies and length of storage are being examined to determine the amount of aeration required in these monolithic concrete domes and the deterioration in quality over various periods of storage.
Peanuts produced according to USDA organic production standards, must be processed and stored separately from conventionally grown peanuts. Insect and rodent control in storage must be done according to organically sound practices using no chemicals. One such method may be the use of low oxygen atmospheres. Engineers at NPRL are investigating the use of hermetically sealed storage containers for farmer stock peanut storage. Peanuts are placed in these bags and sealed using a zipper closure.
The peanuts respire, consume the oxygen within the bag, and give off carbon dioxide. The airtight bag allows no moisture or carbon dioxide to escape nor oxygen to enter resulting in a very low oxygen atmosphere.
For more information contact Chris Butts.
In-shell Peanut Moisture Measurement:
The impedance method will measure moisture content of peanuts without the need for shelling and cleaning the samples. This could save time, labor and the wastage of samples used for testing.
Peanut Pod Brightness Measurement:
This optical reflectance measurement device determines the pod brightness of peanuts objectively, and is useful in the color classification of Valencia variety of peanuts.
NIR reflectance method for moisture content determination for peanuts:
1. Reflectance attachment and sample holder, 2. NIR spectrometer, 3. Computer
A non-contact reflectance method is being developed using NIR methods to determine moisture, protein and oil content of peanuts rapidly and nondestructively.

Judge Holds Self in Contempt for Failing to Silence His Cellphone
For more than five years, Ionia County's chief district judge in Michigan has zealously enforced a "one strike, you're out" policy. The rule applies to what he considers an inexcusable breach of courtroom decorum — the squawk of an unsilenced cellphone.
When he hears a ring, beep or chime, Judge Raymond Voet confiscates the phone, holds the owner in contempt of court, and makes the person fork over $25 to get it back. "I can't stand cellphones ringing or making noises," the judge told Law Blog. "I've taken phones from lawyers, cops, witnesses, members of the public, and the media."
He can now add himself to that list.
On Friday, while a prosecutor was delivering his closing arguments in a domestic-violence trial, Judge Voet accidentally poked a button that activated voice command. "Sorry, couldn't hear anything. Try saying, 'call mom' or 'open calendar,' " said a female computer voice.
The judge got a new court-issued phone in January, a Nokia Windows device. He says he selected it over the iPhone on the advice of his tech staff.
It wasn't until it was too late that he realized he wasn't properly locking the keypad. The noise stopped the prosecutor cold. "I could feel my ears and cheeks burning with embarrassment," said Judge Voet, recounting the episode to Law Blog.
After the prosecutor regained his composure and finished, Mr. Voet gave jurors their final instructions and apologized to the attorney, who told him that it was OK.
"Of course, everybody's going to be nice to the judge," said the judge.
Judge Voet then filled out his notorious "Contempt of Court" form, scribbling his name in the empty space and fining himself $25. He also signed the order.
The form states:
"Ray Voet has been held in contempt of court for a disturbance caused by a personal electronic device in the Courtroom contrary to well posted notices."
Judge Voet, who is not only chief but the only district judge of Ionia, said he's surprised by how much attention his story has gotten since the local Sentinel-Standard reported on it Friday. The self-flagellation was out of self-interest, he said: "It's a small county. Your reputation is important. I wanted to make sure anyone who had a phone taken by me knew that I lived by the same rules."

Comments Thread For: Povetkin: Team Klitschko Manipulates The Public Opinion
WBA "regular" heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin (25-0, 17 KOs) has accused unified king Wladimir Klitschko (59-3, 50 KOs) of using the media to create a false image of the actual situation going on behind the scenes. Povetkin, although he withrew twice in the past when offered a date against Wladimir, is now making a heavy push to make the fight happen. His promoter, Sauerland Event, tried to make the fight, but Wladimir was granted the capability of having a voluntary defense on April 6th.

Public opinion says Wlad is gonna pummel Povetkin into hamburger and in this case public opinion is 100% correct.
Wach had more of a shot than stubby armed Povetkin, who won't be able to get close to Wlad without getting his head taken off.

povetkin has a little more experience now. he wants his big payday & after maximizing his earning potential with the "regular" trinket. this fight is going to happen in the summer or wlad will be stripped of his WBA title. if this was lennox, foreman, bowe, mercer, etc they would have just vacated the title if they wanted to go in another direction(bigger payday). povetkin has his right to exercise his mandatory status & he has done this so now it's up to wlad to fulfill his obligation or be stripped. i can't see wlad vacating so he will fight his mandatory.

Comment posted on Major environmental groups seriously compromised by wind developers' cash by Malcolm Kirk
They took another sites readings and put them forward as their own in the dash for cash. Smacks of something unpleasant. So your Scottish Government has come up with a regulation that says that if you are going to build wind turbines on a particular site you will need anemometer readings, but they could be for any old site – doesn't really matter as long as the Public employees involved can tick a box – are you happy with that ? However you really have sunk to a new low Doc – I asked you for facts on Carbon Capture and you offer a government paper issued in 2005 – 7 YEARS AGO DOC. ! ! ! ! !
Malcolm Kirk also commented
- Well done that man ! Apology due Doc !
- So what would CCS add to the domestic bill ? And all this is subject to the assumption that there is something called man made Global Warming – which me and my mate Donald are not convinced about – but whatever -why the panic ? Simple facts please this time – not references to umpteen 'New Scientist' documents. Fact 1 – Fact 2 – Fact3 – etc.
- Mary Doll – as Rab C would say – nothing, but nothing, but nothing, will change Dr Douglas and Mr McIntyre from the doctrine issued by their beloved Holyrood. Their answer is normally just to denigrate the writer – but don't you worry, there are plenty of us who agree with your every word except perhaps the bit about not requiring anemometers – unless of course you know differently in which case let us know.
- We all know that – there is nothing new there. Get rid of the horrible waste of money being poured into renewables and we can offer more to the people that are investing in keeping our lights on, and Industry working, no matter the hour of the day
- I'm sure he is coming back for sneeky peekies on a regular basis.

As patent cliff looms, collaborations for mAB biosimilars are born
Budapest/Bad Vilbel – Hungarian drug maker Gedeon Richter plc and German STADA Arzneimittel AG have signed two separate licensing and marketing contracts to develop biosimilar versions of the monoclonal antibody drugs Rituximab and Trastuzumab.
Under the terms of the first agreement,
STADA has received non-exclusive distribution rights from Gedeon Richter for a biosimilar mimicking Roche's blockbuster rituximab against arthritis and diverse cancers, which had European sales of around €1.15bn last year. The antibody drug copy, which is expected to hit the market at the end of 2017, will be marketed by STADA in geographical Europe and the CIS area, but not in Russia. Richter may grant one additional license to another partner in the region covered by the contract. In addition to a one digit million upfront payment, STADA will pay milestones totalling "a low double-digit million euro figure".
Under the terms of the second contract, Richter will in-license a preclinical Trastuzumab biosimilar candidate from
STADA for a low single-digit million euro figure. STADA terminated development of the compound last year in the course of a restructuring process, and Richter said it had acquired the rights "in order to accelerate its own ongoing development of a Trastuzumab biosimilar." Richter says it expects clinical testing of the copycat drug to begin in two years. At that point in time, STADA will have the option to acquire a distribution license for the biosimilar, which will seek to mimic Roche's €1.39bn blockbuster.
Experts expect the market for biosimilars to grow to US$10bn annually by 2015 as patents run out on a number of original biologicals – most of them therapeutic antibodies.

The dumpster diving and dumpster driving bear, caught on surveillance camera, created an sensation as the video went viral all over the world.
Edelweiss Restaurant, where the bear stole his bounty back in August, has never been busier.
"Business last month increased by 25-percent, we were thrilled but it was almost more than we could handle," said Dieter Schnakenberg who manages the restaurant.
The kitchen doesn't have enough space to keep up.
"The kitchen is still back from 40 years ago. It really is not meant or built to handle that kind of a crowd," Schnakenberg said.
So the family-owned restaurant has expansion plans in the works. They want to grow the kitchen and bakery to three times its current size…bankrolled in part because of the bear. The ironic part?
"This expansion is going to go out over where he stole the dumpster," Schnakenberg said.
Along with the new kitchen, there may be a new menu item: bear schnitzel.
"A 10 ounce schnitzel, we load it with different sauces and potatoes and vegetables, kind of like I would picture him eating out of the trash can," Schnakenberg said.
The restaurant hopes to have the expansion completed by next Mother's Day.
Schnakenberg says the bear hasn't been back since tack strips were placed on the dumpsters to discourage another easy meal.

A KCCI TV (Iowa) report on the making of the new SLIPKNOT promotional video for the song "Duality" has been posted online at this location.The clip, which reportedly cost between $300,000 and $500,000 to produce, was shot at a house in West Des Moines, Iowa last Saturday (March 27) and featured more than 350 fans of the group (or "maggots", as they're affectionately called), many of whom had traveled from as far as Ukraine and Great Britain to attend the shoot. Since the filming was completed, the family in West Des Moines, Iowa, who rented their house to SLIPKNOT for the shoot, have asked the band to replace or fix a number of items that they say were severely damaged by the hundreds of "maggots" who were present for the filming. These items include broken windows throughout the house, new painted kitchen destroyed, damage to the driveway, torn-up lawn, front door destroyed, rugs sustained water damage, whole house needs repainting, gutters were broken, back door and window frames broken, equipment missing, basketball backboard trashed, damage from cigarette butts, ceiling destroyed where chandelier fell, and picnic tables broken. The "Duality" video shoot was helmed by the directing duo of Mark Klasfeld and Tony Petrossian. The track comes off the band's new album, "Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)", due on May 25 through Roadrunner Records.
Report: SLIPKNOT's 'Duality' Video Cost Nearly Half A Million To Produce

Young leadership remains Hawks' core
RENTON — Former Seahawks wide receiver Sidney Rice was just 27 years old when he retired from the NFL in the middle of the week.
His departure took an already young receivers group and made it younger. Rice had the most NFL experience of any receiver on the roster last year. That distinction turns over to Percy Harvin, all of 26, this season. Harvin is entering his sixth year in the league which makes him Old Man River in the receivers' room.

Happy Camper
D7000 arrived yesterday (only two month wait) so I went to the airport today for some first shots. Sharpness seems ok to me so far, especially the first Alaska shot at 1/200, iso 100 before I increased shutter speed. My trusty Nikkor 70-210 lens used for years with my n8008 seems to work perfectly with the D7000. Glad I waited instead of buying a D90. I shot jpeg, cropped, and let photoshop autolevel, then adjusted size.
Lots & lots to learn
Airplanes are doing roughly 140 knots after they rotate on takeoff!
First photos posted so I'm trying to figure out if I'm sending the right size.

Hi Jim,
Looks very promising!
You can make them up to 1200 or 1300 pixels wide or deep now on Nikonians so you can go a lot bigger as long as file size stays below 300Kb.
I'm really enjoying my D7K so far. Don't forget to post some more samples, like to see them.
Best regards, SteveK

A Stroud Township man has been charged with indecent assault for allegedly touching a relative when she was 4 and 7 years old.
Police charged James Hussey last week.
According to court documents, a relative of Hussey's said that he touched her vaginal area and buttocks with her hand on two occassions. The first occurred about four years ago. The second occurred in September 2013.
Police interviewed Hussey earlier this month, and he admitted to touching the girl.
He faces two counts each of indecent assault, endangering the welfare of children, and corruption of minors, all misdemeanors.

UK Oddball Baby Blankets
Several knitters from the UK have decided to make "Oddball Baby Blankets" for charity. The blankets have been coming along quite nicely.
Each knitter knits for 10 centimeters, then mails the blanket to the next knitter, with the stitches still "live" on the knitting needles.
When the blanket is complete, it is given to charity!
Here is our website, with instructions for the knitters in the United States. Hopefully, we will have a new website soon, just for UK knitters. :)

English baby blanket
Thanks Shandeh for letting me know about this project. I would like to get involved with the english blanket. let me know what to do. I see from the post that it is a circus blanket. I imagine that to be bright colours.
thanks Karina
Thanks for joining, Karina!
Yes, the blanket will need bright colors, which should be fun to knit. :)
And welcome to the forum! :muah:
I'll send a private message to you, with the details.
Hi shandeh
Hows it doing with the list for the circus blanket? Have we got enough knitters yet?
Have tried to find Caron Simply Soft here in the UK, Is there an alternative or do somebody here know where to get the yarn. I am a bit worried about not getting the right yarn.
It might be helpfull if you could post the yard/meter per ball of yarn and tension/size needle.
I don't want to send back a wonky blanket.
Thanks Karina
Here's the information from the label:
100% Acrylic, worsted weight, 4 ply, machine washable and dryable
7 ounces/198 grams
Strange . . . I didn't see the yardage listed but here's the website for more details: http://www.caron.com/color_cards/cc_simplysoft.html
You can order it on line too
Hi MAmaDawn
is there any company that you can recommend. I usually only buy fabric from the us. I have looked at a couple of companies so far 2 won't do international and one had a $15 handling fee on top of the posting which I thought was a bit excessive.
When I buy fabric it is always sent to me in Global Priority Envelopes at $11, Which is good value for money.
Any thoughts would be helpfull. Thanks Karina

Man facing charges after vehicle incident
Published: Tuesday, February 1, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 1, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
A Hendersonville man was arrested Monday morning after witnesses said his car rear-ended another vehicle and he then assaulted the driver on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
Chris Power, 38, of Delacy Drive was charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury and injury to personal property in connection with the incident. He was released Monday afternoon from the Henderson County jail after posting a $6,000 secured bond.
Power was traveling east on U.S. 64 in a Honda Accord when he rammed the back of a Toyota 4Runner driven by Chris Nowak, 39, of Flat Rock, said Hendersonville Police Lt. Andre Massey. The two men have had an ongoing dispute, Massey said.
After the collision, Power stabbed Nowak in the head and face with his car keys, Massey said.
Nowak received several cuts and scrapes, some requiring stitches, and was treated and released from Pardee Urgent Care, the officer said.

Disorders in the synthesis of the active metabolites of vitamin D,1,2 dialysate calcium (Ca) concentration,3 dietary Ca and phosphorus (P),4 and secondary hyperparathyroidism5 have been shown to influence Ca metabolism and the severity of the bone disease associated with uremia. The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of pharmacologic doses of calcifediol (25-hydroxy vitamin D3, [25OHD3]) on total body Ca (TBCa) and the bone mineral content (BMC) of the distal radius in patients with uremia. Previous studies from our laboratory have indicated that the serial and simultaneous measurements of TBCa and BMC of the distal radius reflect long-term changes in Ca balance and calcified tissue mass, as well as the distribution of Ca between bone and soft tissue.6 Since calcifediol influences the absorption and distribution of Ca, as well as has a direct effect on bone collagen metabolism in uremic animals,

Already really impressed with what the new HD 7800 series can offer, it's time to throw a second HD 7870 into the mix and see what kind of performance this $700 CrossFire setup brings to that table. If previous HD 7000 series cards are anything to go by, though, we should get some great performance with impressive scaling.
If you haven't looked at our individual reviews of the new HD 7800 series cards I highly recommend you head on over and check out our thoughts on the new $249 HD 7850 and more expensive $349 HD 7870.
Because we're dealing with reference cards today, and we've already looked at the model there's not a lot we have to do before we get into the testbed side of things. If you want to take a closer look at the cards we're using today then again I recommend you head on over to the standalone reviews we did.
The only thing we need to do is fire up GPU-Z and make sure that everything looks correct. Looking below you can see our cards are clocked at the default clock speeds which put the card at 1000MHz on the core and 4800MHz QDR on the 2GB of GDDR5 memory.
The other piece of information we want to make sure is correct comes in the form of making sure CrossFire is running. Having a look at the bottom you can see that it's indeed enabled and in the form of 2 GPUs. There's really not much more that has to be said so let's just look at our testbed and the cards we'll be using today in our comparisons before we get into the performance side of things to see what this CrossFire setup can do.
