I agree.15 haste is...lets say a gem!!!why a tier set bonus will be so...useless???Also errors in tooltips(remember 1st release in dispersion glyph which said the new spell effect as glyph bonus) have been seen many times.I totally agree.Originally Posted by XenofeX
Just read the freaking thread...
Holy gets 250 spellpower for 5 seconds,
Shadow gets 240 haste for 4 seconds.
4P shadow is like 240 haste rating.
4p healing is like 250 spell power.
Those may not be the specific numbers, but that's the ballpark IIRC.
im for sure gonna give the 4p healing set a try as shadow, even if loosing the 2p bonus
i mean... 250sp after i bubble myself is fkn wicked!
Goodluck keeping up with the rest...
# Shaman T8 Restoration 2P Bonus -- Reduces the cooldown on Riptide by 1 sec.
# Shaman T8 Restoration 4P Bonus -- Reduces the cast time of Chain Heal by 0.2 sec.
This is a crock of sh*t if you ask me. Compared to the other healer's bonuses we get the uber shaft.
Okay all SP's out there, ill trade u my 250sp procc for ur 240 haste kk?Originally Posted by AetherMcLoud

deal!Originally Posted by Zeelian
Would seem to me that giving healers haste after PWS (since aparantly ulduar has a lot of spiky damage) would make a lor more sence, shield to keep them alive and then have a mice haste nonus for the next heal that will get them back on their feets.
And would make more sence as a means to get holy priests to use PWS more as a lifesaver(GC's stated that aone of the reasons for the 4p is to get holys to use PWS more, thou that sounds like its counterproductive with discs), as it is now ours absorb to little and is gone more or less before we get a heal in.
Giving Haste after a shield would be way too much for Borrowed Time; it doesn't take us that much to be GCD capped at 1 sec as it is, so that effectively lets us drop more haste for anything that's -not- Borrowed Time? Pass.Originally Posted by Zeelian

Anyone done the maths yet?
3 Mind Flays (9 ticks) versus 1½ Mind Flay (4 ticks) with 250 spellpower.
I somehow got the idea in my head that 9 ticks will be better no matter what.
On a side note has anyone checked out the rest of the items that drop so we know wether or not it will be worth taking 4 pieces at all compared to just doing off set items.

Masterpiece Theatre Online's Literary Timelines
updated 5.11.2004
I was wondering why the author and poet Sylvia Plath is not included in the literary timeline.
Philadelphia, PA
While I can appreciate the necessity of expanding upon a prodigious output such as Henry James's works, I find the personal lives of other writers intriguing and deserving of their own timelines. The personal and political experiences of Mark Twain and Joseph Conrad, for example, can make a person's head spin. As witnesses to revolutionary changes in Europe and America, their numerous writings relate directly to modernity.
Cesar Meraz
Austin, TX
Thank you for the literary timeline on the Web site. However, you overlooked Kate Chopin. The Awakening surely is an American treasure.
Ellen Puff
St. Paul, MN
[On your Dickens Timeline and Biography] don't overlook Mrs. Beeton (of Household Management fame) -- she edited her husband's magazine - which published the Dickens novels and she therefore had a hand in editing the Dickens novels. She was obviously a key player in the saga.
E. Jackson
Minot, ND
I think you would have to include Pat Conroy in your list of contemporary authors.
Jim Koon
Gastonia, NC
I loved the idea of a timeline. But you missed out on Margaret Atwood.

Where I stayed
Amacerto river boat
Anyhow, Ron and I didn't stay and tour Passau instead we took a side excursion to Salzburg, Austria, yes for all of you Sound of Music fans, THE Salzburg. The drive from Passau to Salzburg took about two hours but it was through the German/Austrian countryside and it was beautiful. Of course the weather could have been better but beauty is still beauty even when it rains. Yes that's right we have went from freezing in Prague,
Now let's talk "The Sound of Music".
Ok now other things Salzburg. Mozart was born and lived his childhood in Salzburg. He was five when he gave his first concert and played the organ at St. Peter Cathedral in Salzburg.
A few other miscellaneous facts for you, children in Austria go to school for nine years from the age of six to fifteen. Kindergarten is mandatory and most students complete their education around the age of fifteen.
Austria is not part of NATO; however, they do have compulsory military service for young men. They are one of the last European countries to make this mandatory. The young men have a choice about their service six months in the military or nine months in the civil service working at an old folk's home.
Austrian citizens, on average, make about 1400 Euro after taxes a month but they get paid for fourteen months. They receive an additional payment in July for summer holiday and an additional payment in November for Christmas. Salzburg and Innsbruck are the two most expensive places to live in Austria with one sq meter selling for 3500-5000 Euros or a 100sq meter apartment selling for 350,000 to 500,000 Euros.
Retirement age is currently set at age 60 for women and 65 for men. If an Austrian citizen works forty-five or more years they can earn a pension up to 80% of their average lifetime yearly pay.
In the early days Salzburg was a principality ruled by archbishops answering directly to the Emperor. Salzburg is located on the site of a Roman Juvavum or a settlement which grew up on one of the major military roads of the ancient world. The Old City is dominated by baroque style buildings dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries. Even today there are over 100 hundred churches, palaces and castles in and around the Salzburg area. In 1816 Salzburg became part of the Habsburg Empire and in the years after WWII it developed into one of Austria's leading trade centers.
After a full day in Salzburg we headed back to our river boat, however, while we were visiting Salzburg the cruise continued without us. So from Salzburg we headed to the city of Linz. Linz is the third largest city in Austria and is a major industrial area; in fact there are more available jobs than there are people to fill them. After WWII Linz was the border town between the Soviet Union and the Allies with the main bridge crossing the Danube known as no man's land. Today Linz is home to Austria's biggest steel company,
Linz is where we got back on the boat and then spent the night cruising to Melk, Austria but more on that tomorrow, so for now,
Luv to all,
Ron and Ann

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The whole "qualifying" spin with the twin Budweiser Duel races is really a marketing pitch. None of NASCAR's marquee drivers was in any great danger of failing to make the field for Sunday's Great American Race.
A total of 45 drivers competed in the two races yesterday afternoon, with only two drivers not making the 43-car field for the Daytona 500.
So after cutting through all the fine print, here are the significant takeaways:
Kevin Harvick continued his blistering Speedweeks, winning the first duel race after winning the Sprint Unlimited on Saturday night and emerging as a favorite to win on Sunday. Kyle Busch won the second duel race, pushing two of NASCAR's most aggressive drivers toward the front of the field.
Danica Patrick didn't crash, a situation that would have pushed her to the back of the field and taken the historic edge off her qualifying effort last Sunday when she became the first woman to earn a pole position in the Sprint Cup Series.
Michael Waltrip, driving a car honoring the victims of the Sandy Hook tragedy, made the race as well, adding a sobering thought to the buzz that Patrick and everyone else will generate when they rev up their engines for the biggest spectacle of the NASCAR season.
Waltrip needed to finish 15th to qualify, which is exactly where he finished.
Only Patrick and Jeff Gordon were assured of their top two starting slots after their qualifying efforts on Sunday. Everybody else "raced" to get in yesterday, although it was mostly anticlimactic. The two drivers who did not qualify are Brian Keselowski and Mike Bliss.
Protective of her position, Patrick raced cautiously during the first 60-lap sprint race.
"It's no fun," she said, "but it's also really ignorant to go drive up in the pack and be part of an accident for really no reason… It ended up a little like a test session for us."
Likewise, Waltrip didn't do anything too risky as drivers were still trying to figure out the aerodynamics of the new Gen 6 model. General consensus: It's best to race at the top of the racetrack, not the bottom
"It would have been stupid for me to pull out of line and do anything," Waltrip said. "It's just an honor to be able to race this car. We went to Newtown a couple of weeks ago and met with the town. Couldn't wait to give them something to smile about. … We know we're going to give them something to cheer about in the 500."
Harvick and Busch don't have any sentimental storylines, but they will have fast cars that will be extremely competitive on Sunday.
"You know, it's one of those deals where you want to win," Harvick said. "We've been fortunate to win the first two races of Speedweeks. We've just got to keep a level head on our shoulders, not get too high over what we've done and just do the same things that we've done. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be. I think we definitely have the car and team to be in contention to do that."

Drew Brees Autographed Memorabilia and Collectibles
As one of the most decorated players in football, Drew Brees has had a stellar career as a star quarterback for the New Orleans Saints. Despite his former critics that believed he was too short and had a weak arm, Brees produced a career that will later go down in NFL history. From an unforgettable college football career to the Saints to win a coveted Super Bowl title, Drew Brees is one of the most premier players of his generation that will likely join the great quarterbacks of NFL history in the Hall of Fame after he hangs up his cleats for the last time.

Residential • Commercial • Sales • Service • Repair • Water Softeners • Reverse Osmosis
Since 1979, Albuquerque contractors have relied on SODECO for water related products. Now our water treatment division is open directly to homeowners at contractor prices.
We offer professional quality products, service and support. We give you just the facts, so you can decide what to do. No commisioned salespeople.
Ask around... if you know people in the trades, construction industry, or any of our customers, ask if Sodeco is good to do business with.
Stop by our showroom to see all of SODECO's bath, spa, steam, sauna, pool and water treatment equipment.
Our water softener systems eliminate the costly effects of hard water. Get rid of your hard to clean, calcium build up on your fixtures. No more plumbing clogged from scale. Your appliances will last longer and operate more efficiently. You'll save money on laundry detergent, soaps and shampoos. You may even spend less money on skin care products.
With your own reverse osmosis drinking water system, you get clean, pure and delicious water for cooking and drinking that's as good or better than bottled water. An R.O. system runs only by water pressure and is delivered efficiently from your home's plumbing system.
Think of the inefficiencies that go with bottled water. Transportation, time, space and all the energy and materials associated with producing and selling the water, not to mention disposing of the plastic bottles. In addition, cases of water or 5 gallon chilled water containers are heavy, and hard to lift. An in-home R.O. unit requires some maintenance and uses some extra water. But the environmental costs are small compared with bottled water.
Our technicians will test your water, examine your plumbing and give you a quote. SODECO does not have commissioned sales people, so you won't get a hard sell! But you can expect us to stand by the products we sell. We'll give you a detailed homeowner's packet, stock the filters you need and teach you how to change them yourself, if you like. And we'll be there anytime you need information or service on your system.
With SODECO, you know you'll have the ongoing support to keep your equipment working for many years.
The Clack WS1EE valve is now standard on all systems.
The WS1EE features:
Each softener comes with these extras:
How Does Reverse Osmosis Work?
The R.O. process uses a semi-permeable membrane that removes up to 99% of impurities and contaminants from your water. By using only water pressure, the water is essentially "squeezed" through the membrane. Pure water goes one direction, and the rest flushes away.
Possible contaminants that can be removed by a reverse osmosis system include arsenic, asbestos, cryptosporidium, cyanide, fluoride, giardia, lead, mercury, nitrates, radon, chlorides, chlorine, copper, sodium, and others.
You get these extras with every R.O. system from SODECO:
As an option, consider an inexpensive TDS meter to monitor your water purity.
SODECO installs all of the equipment and systems we sell. We know all the details of our softener and R.O. systems. An experienced installer makes a big difference in appearance, as well as function, of the equipment. Proper materials, layout and serviceability are always considered. Our professional installers know the specifics of our systems that you or your regular plumber might not. So rely on our expertise and trained professions to do the job right.
When you buy from SODECO, you get the whole package – the right equipment, properly installed, with ongoing service and support.
This should help answer many of the questions you have, and probably some you didn't think of yet. Give us a call or stop by and we'll give you the personal attention you need to learn about improving your home's water. When you stop in, you can see the actual equipment, pick up literature and ask us as many questions as you want.

Matt's Musings on Days of Our Lives.
Strangely enough, with the Olympics over and last week's hallucinations now a thing of the past, getting back to Days regular storylines was somehow unrefreshing. Maybe that's because the almost pointless, though pleasurable, meandering of last week had fewer flashbacks and likely will rarely be flashed back to in the future. One of the things that made Nicole's film noir fantasy sweet was that we would never have to go through it again… and again. It's not as "green" as the current Bo plot, which is so filled with recycled flashbacks, he must have shaved in a bid to further clarify what was past and what present. With the concentration on the hospital set over, the plot lines are now spread all over the globe and just as discontinuous as before. Suddenly, it appears as though Bo's tabloid outing was practically planned. He didn't actually destroy evidence, only a copy of the evidence to flush John out. Paul conveniently escaped from John's dungeon and is running around in the shadows. Roman, once again agrees to do what the Salem PD does best – bend the rules. Proving once again that even the mob have higher ethical standards than the cops.

Editor's Choice to Mitsubishi HC4900
Evan Powell — Dec 18, 2007
Last week's announcement from Mitsubishi that they were offering a $500 rebate and taking the price of the HC4900 to a mere $1995 stimulated a lot of inquiries. How does the HC4900 stack up against the other aggressively priced 1080p model, the Sanyo Z2000? Well, we set them up and took another close look at both of them. The review of the Mitsubishi HC4900 is complete and posted. As you will see, the HC4900 and the Z2000 are both formidable competitors, and each has some real advantages over the other. However, we were impressed enough with the combination of picture quality, features, and price, to give the HC4900 our Editor's Choice Award.more
High Marks
Evan Powell — Dec 13, 2007
We have just completed the 5-star ratings of the 1080p models. They have been added to each of the reviews. There was one slight modification to the rating of the JVC RS2 we posted day before yesterday. Initially I had given it 5 stars for features. And indeed it is a remarkably well-featured projector. But no projector in the home theater category is as fully loaded with extra features as the Panasonic AE2000, so that model alone received 5-stars for features, and we've adjusted the RS2 to 4.5.more
1080p Finally Under Two Grand
Evan Powell — Dec 11, 2007
We've been predicting for the past year that 1080p projectors would go below $2,000 by the holiday season this year. Well, it officially happened yesterday, December 10, 2007, for all you projector industry historians out there that are recording these things. The Mitsubishi HC4900 has an official street price of $2,495, but as of yesterday, they are offering a $500 rebate, bringing the official price to just $1995. So there we are--1080p resolution projection for under two grand. I guess we better take another look at the HC4900 and put it into perspective.more
The Choice for the Videophile Purist
Evan Powell — Dec 7, 2007
We are still working through the review of the JVC DLA-RS2. I was hoping to have it done by today, but it will take another couple of days to wrap up some details. Overall, this is a beautiful projector, and a definite step up from the outstanding RS1. Contrast, black levels and color saturation exceed the RS1. In addition, several of the features we would have preferred to see on the RS1 have been added to the RS2, including HDMI 1.3 and anamorphic lens compatibility. The RS2 is not quite as bright as the RS1, but it is plenty bright enough for light controlled home theater. The DLA-RS2 will definitely be the choice for the videophile purist with the budget to get the best 1080p...more

You can now have, in theory, up to 32 terabytes of RAM on your 64-bit DragonFly system, from a change made by Matthew Dillon. I'm curious to see if anyone has even 1 terabyte, as that's at least feasible.
Do you have a lot of RAM? I mean, a LOT!?

I'm only aware of one 32TB RAM machine in production and it doesn't run DragonFly, but in a few years even this one will probably be obsolete…. http://www.psc.edu/publicinfo/news/2011/110911_BLProgress.php

Savers will be able to build up bigger retirement pots using a Government approved low-cost pension scheme, after Pensions Minister Steve Webb said key restrictions would be swept away.
Mr Webb announced in a ministerial statement today that caps on annual contributions into Nest (National Employment Savings Trust) and a ban on transfers in and out of the scheme will be scrapped.
The move is a victory for campaigners, including Age UK, Which?, the Federation of Small Businesses and the TUC, who had argued that the current barriers risked causing problems for employers and workers.

DD started pasta around that age and LOVES it still. She eats it usually with regular jarred sauce on it. Roasted garlic and onion is her FAVORITE. She also really likes kidney beans in the sauce, so we do pasta fagioli a lot. Olive oil with a little garlic in it is also a big hit. She even likes it with some red pepper flakes (who knew?).
I often used to add pureed veggies to her sauce when she was younger in order to get more veggie in there.

It seems like everyone these days is just waiting for an excuse to hate you. There's the obvious stuff: your stupid clothes, your ugly hair, that dumb thing you do when you laugh (God, what is up with that? It sounds like somebody kicked a walrus in the neck). But your many glaring personality flaws aside, sometimes the deck is just plain stacked against you for reasons you would never expect, much less think to avoid ...
5Your Profile Picture Is Too Close Up
Every online service practically demands that you have a close-up photo of your own face on your profile, if only to assure people that you're a real human being and not a penis-extender-hawking robot. The unfortunate truth is that not only do those close-ups show your blemishes in all of their hideous glory, but they also make you look less trustworthy and less attractive.
Researchers at Caltech performed several experiments measuring the relationship between proximity and likability. In one, they had volunteers judge photographs of people who were either 2 feet or 7 feet from the camera -- the same people, the same expression, the same clothes, and the same general aura of "This better not turn out to be a porn audition ... again." They found that the participants disliked the subjects more the closer they got to the camera. And it wasn't skewed by subtle differences in the photos. In another experiment, they merely warped a person's picture so that it seemed like he was closer to the camera:
Via Caltech.edu
If you look rapidly back and forth between the two photos, it will make you puke.
It's the exact same photo, slightly tweaked to make the man on the left seem closer to the viewer, and even then, people still believed that the man in the altered photo was less trustworthy, less attractive, and less competent, and probably smelled like diapers, too. It's a lot of dislike just from a straight-up profile shot, is what we're saying.
Researchers believe this has something to do with how our brain handles personal space. Even if it's just a picture, your subconscious doesn't like it when someone's standing too close to you, getting their mouth-air all up in your me-bubble. On some deep, stupid, primal level, our brain treats people in close-up photos like close-talkers, and shuns them accordingly -- or hey, maybe we just like people we perceive as farther away because it's less likely they'll hit us up for money or talk to us about politics.
Shit, that's her "We have to talk" face. Run!
4You Don't Open Your Eyes Wide Enough
Quick: Imagine somebody giving you "bedroom eyes." What do they look like? Kind of a half-open, come-hither stare, right? All right, now -- no, stop. Don't imagine them undressing and worshiping at the temple of your own genitals. The exercise is over! Jesus, you're pretty hard up, aren't you? Has it been a while?
Unfortunately, your "sexy" half-open gaze might be the reason for your dry spell. The truth is that the smaller others perceive your eyes to be, the less they like you. Researchers conducted a study on several hundred men and women and gave them two pictures to look at. Both photos were of the same man, but one had the man's eyes fully open, the other slightly closed. There was no subtle difference in expression: They Photoshopped the pictures to ensure that every single element, down to the individual hairs, were identical.
Via Livescience.com
"Hi, I'm Chad. Would you like to get some coffee?"
Via Livescience.com
"Who I am is of no concern. EAT COFFEE!"
Then they asked volunteers a series of questions about the person in the photograph: Does he look like he'd want a long-term or short-term relationship? Would he make a good neighbor? Does he seem like a good business partner? Does he seem safe to travel with? Do you think he'd flush after using the bathroom at a bar?
Women agreed that the squinting man was more likely interested in a short-term fling, but in every single category, the man with the wider eyes was rated higher: more trustworthy, more likeable, more stable, even more attractive. So why do we even have such a thing as "bedroom eyes"? Well, the scientists believe that wider eyes are more closely associated with youth, so a narrowed gaze might indicate sexual maturity. It's just that, according to lead researcher Daniel Kruger, your come-hither stare isn't worth it and "can come back to bite you."
"Wait, are you trying to seduce me or blame me for something?"
So there you go, Science said it: Next time you want to woo a member of the opposite sex, just open your eyes as wide as you can and stare at him or her, unblinking. That's pure trustworthy sexiness, right there.

Today is the 147th anniversary of the second day of fighting at the Battle of Chickamauga. Chickamauga Creek runs through the valley southeast of Lookout Mountain. Loosely translated, the Indian name Chickamauga, translates into "River of Blood." From the morning of September 18, to the evening of September 20, the Indian translation is very appropriate as "Rivers of Blood" would drench the woods and fields of Catoosa and Walker counties in northern Georgia. Many men, north and south, would give their "last full measure" at this battle.
In what would be one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, US Major General William S. Rosecrans, commanding the Army of the Cumberland, would push into northern Georgia, after a near bloodless battle to capture Chattanooga, and have his four infantry corps and single cavalry corps spread over a large area. Believing Confederate Army of Tennessee commander, Braxton Bragg, was retreating towards Dalton, and further points south, he became lax in reuniting his command near the Chickamauga. Instead of retreating, Bragg had an offensive move planned to attack Rosecrans and beat his army piecemeal before they could reunite. Fortunately for Rosecrans, Bragg was slow in attacking, and he was able to bring together most all of his army to counter any thrust by the Confederates. Very heavy skirmishing would occur between the Confederate and Federal cavalry, and some infantry, during the day on September 18. This allowed Rosecrans to bring his infantry closer together. Heavy fighting would occur through the day on September 19 and the Confederate position would be strengthened by the arrival of CSA Lieutenant General James Longstreet's corps which was sent west by General Robert E. Lee. This corps, led by the ever aggressive division commander, Major General John Bell Hood, would exploit an opening created by confusion on Rosecrans' part on September 20. Punching through the opening, Longstreet's soldiers would roll the two wings of the Federal army apart causing a pellmell retreat towards Chattanooga. The only thing that prevented complete destruction of the fleeing Federal troops was a courageous stand made by US Major General George H. Thomas at Snodgrass Hill. Thomas would earn the moniker, "Rock of Chickamauga," for the desperate defensive fight his troops endured while battling a large portion of Bragg's Army of Tennessee. This would be Bragg's singular victory as commander the army and after a defeat, by US Major General Ulysses S. Grant, at the Third Battle of Chattanooga, Bragg would end up being sent east as military advisor to the Jefferson Davis administration. After being "boxed up" in Chattanooga, with his Army of the Cumberland nearly starving, Grant would relieve Rosecrans of command and would promote Thomas to command of the army – a command he had earned through hard fighting, exceptional administrative skills and strong leadership.
I had planned on writing an in-depth essay on the Battle of Chickamauga, for the 147th anniversary, but a heavy workload at my real job prevented me from doing so. This will have to wait until next year. In the meantime, I provide a short narrative I wrote on the battle, several years back, for my other website, BattlefieldPortraits.com. The complete text of that article is provided below. Additionally, I have a collection of photos, from trips I have made to the Chickamauga National Military Park, on my Flickr site which I have arranged into a photo essay. You can view these photos by clicking on the following link.
Michael's Photo Essay on the Battle of Chickamauga
If you are interested in learning more about the Battle of Chickamauga, one of the most interesting battles in the Western Theater, in my humble opinion, I would recommend the following three books.
This Terrible Sound: The Battle of Chickamauga, by: Peter Cozzens (this is the best, of three very good books in his trilogy the other being on the battles of Stones River and Chattanooga)
The Chickamauga Campaign, edited by Steven E. Woodworth featured essays by: John R. Lundberg, Alexander Mendoza, David Powell, Ethan S. Rafuse, William G. Robertson, Timothy B. Smith, Lee White and Steven Woodworth.
The Maps of Chickamauga: An Atlas of the Chickamauga Campaign, August 29 – September 23, 1863, by David Powell with cartography by David Friedrichs (this is an excellent book in Savas Beatie, LLC's maps series)
Battle of Chickamauga
Location: Catoosa & Walker counties near Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia
Dates: September 18-20, 1863
Union Commander: William S. Rosecrans, Major General
Confederate Commander: Braxton Bragg, General
Battle Summary:
William S. Rosecrans was not known for his alacrity. After a decisive victory, over several days in late 1862 and early 1863, at Stone's River, Rosecrans went into winter bivouac. Even after the urgings of President Lincoln, in the spring of 1863, Rosecrans would not move his Army of the Cumberland.
Finally, in late June, the gargantuan Army of the Cumberland started moving slowly to dislodge Bragg's Army of the Tennessee, at Tullahoma, Tennessee. This movement was quickly reported to Bragg who decided to relocate his army to northern Georgia – possibly as far as Dalton – since this would provide a better field of battle.
Rosecrans now moved more quickly to cut off Bragg's army. This was described by soldiers, in the Army of the Cumberland, as one of the hardest marches, over the most difficult terrain, encountered thus far.
After splitting his Army of the Cumberland into three assaulting forces, Rosecrans decided to assault (from the north, Major General Thomas L. Crittenden's XXI Corps, the west, Major General George H. Thomas' XIV Corps and the southwest, Major General Alexander McD. McCook's XX Corps) the Army of Tennessee near a sleepy creek, called Chickamauga (appropriately meaning in the local Indian dialect: "River of Blood").
As the Union forces under Thomas approached the Chickamauga, on September 18, thinking Bragg's forces were on the other side, they were caught in a surprise attack. The Union forces pulled back to the Lafayette Road and were determined to hold this north/south line.
During second day's battle, James Longstreet's Corps arrived in time to join the battle. This brought the armies close to par and allowed Bragg a little breathing room. The battle continued to sway back-and-forth along a 2 1/2 mile with the Lafayette Road being the approximate dividing line.
On the third day, through a grievous error on Rosecrans' part, Longstreet was able to break through a hole near the center of the Union line. Longstreet's Corps, including John Bell Hood's Texans, quickly rolled McCook's line to the north and attacked Thomas's corps to the north. With Rosecrans leading the way, McCook's and Crittenden's corps started a piecemeal retreat towards Chattanooga. Charles Dana, a war department informer, said he knew there were serious problems when he viewed Rosecrans, a devout Catholic, "cross himself."
Left on the field, along the Snodgrass Hill spur, George Thomas' XIV Corps was in a strong enough defensive position to hold Longstreets's Corps at bay while the Army of the Cumberland retreated. US Major General Gordon Granger'sReserve Corps also played a part in holding the Army of Tennessee in place.
Through his cool actions at Chickamauga, George Thomas earned the nickname, "Rock of Chickamauga."
Campaign: Chickamauga
Outcome: Confederate Victory
Troop Strengths:
Federal: 62,000
Confederate: 65,000
Casualties (34,600 approximate of all types):
Federal: 16,170 (killed, wounded or missing/captured)
Confederate: 18,454 (killed, wounded or missing/captured)
Battle Aftermath:
After their retreat into Chattanooga, the Army of the Cumberland was "boxed in" between the Tennessee River, Missionary Ridge and Lookout Mountain. The Army of Tennessee, for all practical purposes, had Rosecrans' army in a "strangle hold." Food and supplies dropped until US Major General Ulysses S. Grant, fresh from victory at Vicksburg, arrived with reinforcements - specifically William T. Sherman's Army of the Tennessee. Upon arrival in Chattanooga, Grant relieved Rosecrans and put Thomas in his place. Within several days food was once again flowing into Chattanooga, along Grant's "Cracker Line." Grant would go on to defeat Bragg's Army of Tennessee, at the Third Battle of Chattanooga, pushing them into northern Georgia. Chickamauga, was a huge Confederate victory, but it was the "high water" mark for the Army of Tennessee. Bragg would win no more victories and would be relieved by CSA General Joseph E. Johnston in the coming months.

Arsene Wenger endured another frustrating afternoon as the Gunners lost to Tottenham at White Hart Lane, and it means that the Gunners have accumulated a meagre seven points from as many games, which is not good enough for the club.
Arsenal have lost two of their most influential midfielders in the summer and also, their best midfield prospect has been ruled out due to injury. Bacary Sagna, Arsenal's most consistent defender, also sustained a fracture to add to their woes and Wenger does seem to have a host of problems in front of him.
Robin van Persie and some others must have been disillusioned with the performances of the team, and, for a team renowned for attacking flair under Wenger, they have lacked the creativity to open up defenses this season.
Also, their off-the-ball movement has been poor.
Their defense did not look good again at Tottenham and though Germany international Per Mertesacker is immensely experienced, he is yet to come to terms with the pace of the Premiership—his lack of pace has been exposed on many occasions already this season.
There are many supporters who are questioning whether Wenger's time at the club has run its course, and whether he is the right man to take the club forward. However, it is better to take a long-term view in such a situation, and it is for the benefit of the club if Wenger does stay at the club—for the near future at the least.
It is important to remember that Sir Alex Ferguson has also been bombarded with similar questions in the past, but the Manchester United manager bounced back in style, winning numerous titles. Similarly, it is too early to write-off a manager who has achieved great things in the past, and there exists every possibility that he could turn things around for the Gunners.
This January transfer window will be an important time for the, Gunners and it is important that Wenger and Ivan Gazidis can sign their transfer targets in the window. This is a list of some of the things which Wenger should do in the January transfer window in order to have a stronger team at his disposal for not only this season, but also for the future.

Getting under players' skin is a trait to be admired. Some do it better than others, but few do it better than the Atlanta Hawks enforcer, Zaza Pachulia.
The Georgian native (the country, not the state, even though he now lives in the state) is known for being a pest defensively, and always giving that push that comes a little after the whistle, and that shove that's a little too hard—usually getting opponents to react. Some flail their arms claiming to be fouled, begging for a whistle. Others don't handle it so well. For instance, after receiving a slight headbutt from Mr. Pachulia, Jason Richardson lashed out and smacked him in the face, causing his ejection and suspension for the following playoff game (Pachulia was also suspended).
Pachulia has practically made a living off of ridiculous scuffles, just ask Kevin Garnett, who was also on the receiving end of a Pachulia headbutt in the middle of a critical playoff game. It was game 4 in the 2008 series, the Celtics had a 2-1 lead against the 8th seeded Hawks. Clearly, the Hawks were a mere afterthought in the eyes of the Celtics, but Zaza Pachulia changed that misconception of an idea rather quickly.
How many guys in the NBA are willing to headbutt Kevin Garnett? He talks a huge game and rarely backs it up, but no one really, truly tests him. That is unless you're Zaza Pachulia. He sent Boston a message that day, and it was that they weren't intimidated by Garnett and his big mouth, by their big 3 concocted the summer before, or by the fact that they were an 8-seed who couldn't even sniff 40 wins. He didn't care, and he let Kevin Garnett know.
Back to last season's playoffs: Pachulia may have gotten suspended a game, but he left the Hawks with their identity in a crucial, close playoff game. With their 10 point lead slipping away and the Magic starting to look like they might take control of the series, Zaza Pachulia showed up. He'd been a pest all night, boxing out unnecessarily hard, shoving his butt into people like he was vibrantly dancing or clubbing. His pestiness came through when needed most. After the scuffle with Richardson, Pachulia was exiting the stadium holding his fist up to the crowd. They screamed and roared, and as he left the stadium, a massive gash became visible on his upper left shoulder, and you think to yourself: how in the hell did that happen? How in the hell did that get there?
Those are the type of players that you love to have on your team, but hate on the other team. They're more than glue guys or enforcers, they're that tiny little spark that comes out and breaks the game open when sparks seem like they couldn't be further away.

It would be disturbing enough if Mr. Phillips' case was an isolated incident, but the unfortunate reality is the discovery of wrongful convictions is becoming increasingly frequent in a state that already leads the nation in this shameful statistic. This is the 34th DNA exoneration in Texas--more than any other state in the nation. These compounding exonerations are clear and convincing evidence that our criminal justice system is broken, and it's time we took the necessary steps, find out why it's broken, and what we need to do to fix it. In no other sphere of public policy would rational people see this many disasters and not be willing to pull together a panel of experts to ask what went wrong and what can be learned from those tragic mistakes to prevent them from happening again.
I've fought for legislation to create an innocence commission in the past, but the Texas Legislature has been unwilling to take action. Tomorrow morning at 10:30a.m. in the chambers of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals marks the inaugural meeting of the Texas Criminal Justice Integrity Unit formed by Justice Barbara Hervey and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. I hope the Unit will review these tragic cases, identify what has gone wrong, and propose meaningful remedies to right these obvious wrongs and prevent these tragedies in the future. We can't sit idly by any longer. Texans deserve smart on crime policies they can trust convict the guilty and protect the innocent.
It's time for the leaders of this state to come together and to take the necessary steps to ensure that our citizens have a system of justice they can have confidence in and is instilled with the fairness and integrity that justice demands."

This week CBOE representatives had several meetings in New York City with representatives of several large financial services firms. Firm representatives told CBOE that many of their clients have expressed increased interest in interest rate volatility over the past few months. CBOE now offers two volatility indexes related to interest rate volatility –
- CBOE/CBOT 10-year U.S. Treasury Note Volatility Index (VXTYN) The VXTYN measures the expected volatility of the price of 10-year Treasury Note futures. The VXTYN Index rose 83% in the period from April 30 through September 12 (see chart below).
- CBOE Interest Rate Swap Volatility Index (SRVX). The SRVX Index first standardized volatility measure in the interest rate swap market.
Futures on options on the VXTYN and SRVX indexes are not yet listed, but some customers have expressed interest in such products.
The Wall Street Journal recently noted that –
"A majority of economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal—66% of the 47 who responded—expect the Federal Reserve to say at next week's policy meeting that it will begin cutting back its bond purchases, a widely anticipated milestone in a period of extraordinary monetary policy." http://on.wsj.com/15UZNo7
Below are three charts that show interest rates and related volatility in 2013, and also show the put and call volume for select CBOE options on interest-rate ETFs in 2013. In the period from April 30 to September 12, the VXTYN Index rose from 3.96 to 7.25, and the 10-Year US Treasury Rate rose from 1.67% to 2.91%. In the table below, it is interesting to note that in August the put/call ratio was 0.86 for the TLT options, but was higher than 2.4 for HYG, JNK, LQD, and other options on interest-rate ETFs.
As interest rates rise, the values for many bonds and bond-related ETFs can decline, and since April the prices for the TLT, IEF, HYG, and JNK ETFs all have experienced sharp price declines; price charts for several interest rate ETFs are at www.cboe.com/InterestRateETF
In a March 22, 2012, op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal, Burton Malikiel wrote —
"Investors with long memories should recall that over the entire period from the 1940s until 1980, bonds were a horrible place to be. Given the likely trends, U.S. Treasurys and high quality bonds are likely to be extremely poor investments and are very risky."
For investors who want to manage the risk of their fixed income portfolios, options on interest-rate ETFs can be valuable risk-management tools, and the VXTYN and SRVX indexes can be helpful real-time gauges of expectations of future interest rate volatility.
As an example, let's suppose an investor owns the ETF known as the iShares Lehman 20+Year Treasury Bond Fund (TLT), and the investor is concerned about the possibility that the TLT ETF could continue to decline in value due to rising interest rates. One possible solution could be to do an outright sale of the TLT ETF. However, instead of a sale of the TLT, the investor also could explore the pros and cons of holding the TLT ETF, and also using options strategies such as (1) selling TLT covered call options to generate extra income, and (2) buying protective puts on TLT in order to reduce principal risk. Information on many options strategies is at www.cboe.com/Strategies.

that 2011 was going to be the year of the elephant so I could use this amazing picture.
Turns out that we are about to enter the year of the rabbit.
I am sticking with my plan though and going for the eye candy over a fluffy rabbbit. It is the sight of a stately home, all square and symmetrical that gets me every time. (and I do have a soft spot for elephant paraphernalia.....) So - on to those elephants! Too amazing - look at the baby, he is almost moving! Whatever way you choose to celebrate, have a good one and see you all next year!
Thank you again for all the wonderful comments and support - you have been sublime!

Skip to comments.Saudi Person Of Interest Is Osama Bin Ladens Son
Posted on 04/22/2013 6:09:48 PM PDT by LucyT
Hamza is the son of Khairiah Sabar of Saudi Arabia, one of Bin Ladens three wives who were living in the Abbottabad compound.[11] Interrogation of the surviving wives of Osama Bin Laden by Pakistani intelligence after the raid on the Abbottabad revealed Hamza was the only person missing. He was not among those killed or injured. The raid conducted by the SEAL team was thorough: infrared technology, as well as ground troops, remained confident nobody inside the compound had escaped. There were no hidden exit tunnels from the compound.
In a letter confiscated in the raid, written by bin Laden and addressed to his Chief of Staff Atiyah Abd al-Rahman, bin Laden mentions his desire that Hamza would be educated in Qatar as a religious scholar so that he could refute the wrong and the suspicions raised around Jihad.
The same letter revealed that Hamza did not escape the raid because he was not even present in Abbottabad.
(Excerpt) Read more at gopthedailydose.com ...
Interesting backgrounder. I thought that the white hat bomber(one still alive) looked like a young Bin Laden when the picture of him younger came out. Would never have thought that of Saudi in hospital though. Anything is possible in these strange times.
(a): Dar es Salaam ="House of Peace"
(b): Dar al-Harb = "House of War"
One aspect of Jihad is using (b) to achieve (a). Thus the al-Harbi clan is dedicated to war for Mohammed.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is run the way Tony Soprano runs New Jersey. It's family. The country is named for the family, The House of Saud. Every enterprise in KSA is the "territory" of some Prince and his "crew." There is a MacDonald's Prince. There is a Ford Prince, a Mercedes Prince,a KFC Prince, etc.
There are 3500 "Princes of the Blood" that is, they are directly related to the King or Royal Family via a legal wife or favorite concubine. Some are black, some are white, some are mulattos, I guarantee you that one (out of costume) looks like you or I. Their families and entourages form various factions that head up government posts, e.g., run the Royal Saudi Armed Forces, the phone company, the post office, and various businesses as decided in council, just like Tony Soprano. Everybody takes a piece, "wets his beak."
There are probably 10,000 "2'd string" Princes, who also have commercial territories and crews under their families. That's what you see. What you don't see is probably more important.
For example, one Prince runs the Royal Navy, another the RoyalAF, Army, etc. But there is another faction that controls the National Guard, which has its own Army, Navy, and AF, Intel, etc. Then there is another faction that runs the Religious Police. another that runs the State Police. Another that controls TV. Another who controls internet. Another the Education System. Who's in charge? What day is it?
Every faction has its own mosques and Imams and its own tribal power base under the tribal sheiks, each of whom has relatives intermarried into the Royal Family (he hopes) or at least a Princely one. The oil money filters down through the Princes to to the sheiks, who run their own social welfare systems on top of the "government's."
What this means is that whatever the Saudis tell us is true at some given moment in a shifting kaleidoscope of power struggles between the factions. Some Princes are the financial powerhouses behind terrorism, others are very "pro-American," with kids at Arizona State, Calahoosatachie CC, or some such, but support Imams too, and are subject to constant religious blackmail by Imams with pet projects that may or may not involve blowing the crap out of infidels.
It is not as if one were dealing with the Ladue Ladies Rose Society, run by Robert's Rules of Order. Think Mafia combined with Cherokee Strip, only the Hole in the Wall Gang are ga-ga-Billionaires and intend to stay that way Today's friend is tomorrow's enemy. Princely factions, including the King, use us to play one faction off against another. We have seen this before in the movies, right? (White Man help Apache kill Comanche, Apache leave White Man alone. Promise. Give guns now?)
There is only one thing on this planet that is worse than the Saudi "Government." That is whatever TF is going to follow it. The Saudis themselves think that the fact that this pernicious totally inbred miasma sort of works, or at least continues, must be a sign that the Wahabbi Muslims are the "Chosen of Allah."
Dear Barry and Reggie,
Hope the golf is going OK.
Can we please go pump our own oil now?
Thank you. Very interesting. The thought occurred to me yesterday that we know that AQ and the Muslim Brotherhood's goal is to overthrow all these rulers in the Middle East, including the House of Saud. So far, Obama has been helping them under the guise of the Arab spring....Egypt, libya, etc. The scary thought that crossed my mind was what if the SA kingdom is next on the list and Obama is helping to orchestrate it? Most policy thinkers that are not left wing zealots shudder at that thought for the reasons you mention...but we have a left wing zealot at the helm...so anything is possible.
Scary thoughts to go with your morning java.
Would't bank on it without actual measure. And fleshy bits do not matter anyway, the can be altered without even surgery. Ref Malkin's lips and many "beauty queen" butts.
AQ *is* the Muslim Brotherhood, that is, they all came out of MB. Zawahiri was MB before AQ got a name.
And there is extremely good evidence that the AQ organization was formalised and set up by the Saudi government as much as bin Laden.
Yes, I know. Thank you. Not sure about the Saudi government setting up AQ proper, but certainly sent jihadis to help in Afghanistan during the war with Russia. Elements of the Saudi regime are very sympathetic to AQ...others not so much. AQ was set up,after the Rusian Afghanistan war and one of their missions is to remove the regime in SA.
Oh, they did.
There was a magazine before AQ became AQ, it laid out the name, structure, program - everything. The first issues of the mag were issued in Saudi Arabia (if you go looking, get the *original* pdf's, not copies). The software used for those is very rarely seen outside govt installations, even in the west, and runs only on large institutional servers.
I did a detail analysis on all the issues way back. It's here, somewhere. Anyway, the name of the mag was al Tawhid.
Correction: Not Tawhid. Sawt al Jihad.
They did that with our blessing, and no small number of weapons, for which the Saudis paid us good hard cash. The Saudi "government," whatevaTF that is, didn't exactly send them. It merely allowed them to be sent and to be bankrolled by one prince or faction, or another.
The term "plausible deniability" applies to everything coming out of Saudi ruling circles. E.G., embarrassingly enough to the Wahabbi Saudi, is the fact that much of their oil lies in eastern territory that is populated by Shiite folks. The trick: keep Iran from getting these folks overly excited, yet keep them on a very short leash. The Russkis could undercut Saudi oil prices quite easily. (Oil has an actual value of maybe $2/bbl based on cost of production in these places. The rest my friends, is pure gravy.) The Russkis, OTOH, have always sought influence in Iran.
These Arabs ain't playing checkers. More like 4-dimensional chess.
Wonder what game Obama is playing? Lol.
Interesting. I always understood why we were involved in Afghanistan during the Russia invasion...pushing back communism. What came afterwards (the Taliban) though was a travesty.
Don't ask me. Ask Reggie Love.
No thanks...rather remain in the dark on that score. Lol
I agree with you and think he's been fighting a great fight and I'm really praying for him on this one. there's definitely something fishy about the Saudi Arabian connection and Obama is seeking to bury it while only GB fights for us. I'm sick and tired of the lies.
Same bottom lip and same eyebrows. It's him.
but how do you prove it?

We bloggers are always and forever writing posts that celebrate autism's gifts, and then customarily acknowledge its challenges. That is a worthwhile approach, and it's what I've done for most of the past year and a half. But I've been struggling to decide what to write for Autism Awareness month, that I haven't already written before. And this is it.
Because tonight, I just dont feel like writing about our challenges. Tonight I feel like giving Autism a great big hug. Don't particularly know why, except maybe that it's been too long since we last embraced. I was thinking tonight about how it's taken me a long, long time to get to a point in my life where I really understand what I love, and conversely, to recognize all that which is superfluous to a rich, rewarding life.
What do I love? I love my disordered little family; I love our smaller-than-we-could-afford-but-not-moving-because-we-love-our-neighbours little house; I love vintage fabrics sewn into cushions on a window seat; I love fresh flowers in the house and opening windows in spring; I love spending my days with the two little people I created and brought into the world; and I love a glass of red wine on the front porch while Daddy puts our creations to bed.
And as I write this list of things I love, it occurrs to me that Autism belongs here. It belongs on my Love List. I'll tell you why:
I love Autism because it made my son one of the most charming, engaging, beguiling, enchanting little boys ever in the history of always. Strangers routinely stopped me to comment on how he seemed to almost... glow. I love his glow.
I love Autism because it opened my mind and challenged me on long-held stereotypes that I never ever would have confronted without it. For example, it turns out not every homeschooler is a sister wife. Go figure!
I love Autism because it forced me to reconsider my priorities, and it relentlessly hounded me until I got them straight.
I love Autism because it inspired me - enought to pull me back to my true love: writing.
I love Autism because it has brought me here, to meet you. To learn from and share with you, to forge deeply meaningful friendships and wide reaching connections that I will not only cherish for my entire life, but which I could not possibly imagine my life without.
I love Autism because it has brought me more patience, clarity of thought, confidence in advocacy, and passion for living a genuine life, than I ever could have achieved without it.
I love Autism because diversity and yes, even difficulty, make the world a richer place.
I love Austim because many believe that some of the greatest minds in history have been autistic, and I am one of those believers. While I'm no scientist, I do believe that Autism - and the way we respond to Autism's differences - makes our species stronger, not weaker.
But most of all I love Autism because it, as much as I, created my son. And if you met him you would know that he is passion and compassion, beauty and wisdom, humour and fear, and darkness and light, all embodied. He is Autism, and I love them both.

Publishers including Penguin, Harper Collins and Simon & Schuster are facing a formal European investigation over accusations that they are overcharging for electronic versions of popular books.
Nine months after inspectors raided the offices of several leading companies, the European Commission said yesterday that it had opened full-scale antitrust proceedings to examine whether publishers were breaking competition rules.
The Office of Fair Trading had been examining the issue but has turned over its inquiry to the Commission, which has the power to levy fines of up to 10 per cent of companies' turnover.
