One name that hasn't floated into the post-Leveson debate these past few days is Jonson Cox. Which is not, of course, at all surprising. Cox is the new-ish supremo at Ofwat, regulator of water rather than press. He has no relevance whatsoever to the future of newspaper regulation in this country – except in one crucial respect.
Ask anyone in water world whether Cox is an effective chairman at Ofwat and you'll see a shiver of apprehension – not to mention a tidal wave of gloom beginning to engulf Thames Water. Cox is relishing his job and he seems to know what he's doing – unsurprisingly, since he comes to it after a spell as boss of Anglian Water. In short, he knows the questions, gambits and pressures as No 10 demands bill-freezing action. He knows the people, the gambits and the pressures. Classic poacher/gamekeeper stuff.
But any Cox-type appointment, to be clear, would be impossible under the royal charter sealed at the behest of four government ministers last week. You couldn't put a publishing chief executive on the recognition committee that sanctifies the new arrangement, nor on the appointments committee that puts this regulator and his or her board in place. And there'd be the devil to pay – amid infinite Hacked Off wailings – if anyone with a background in newspapers or magazines became chairman of the chartered regulator (a blight that probably extends to Ipso, the press's alternative, non-chartered watchdog as well).
Great new press standards organisation seeks dynamic leader: no experience necessary. Only retired civil servants, generals, bishops and judges will be deemed "independent" enough to apply.
In any halfway-awake western nation, and, to be frank, in many reaches of British national life, this would be considered an amateurish absurdity, a guarantee of eventual failure. But absurdity now hopelessly enmeshes this entire debacle. The history of it is wrong. A convenient narrative (not merely echoed by Leveson, but regurgitated whole from one mordant tract) sees honest politicians striving since 1938 to deodorise practices in Britain's press but finding themselves constantly outwitted by back-sliding proprietors. Something must be done! This time there must be no escape! It's a simple chorus inviting Joe Public to sing along. It portrays newspaper proprietors and their editors as tyrants and twisters. And it is mostly self-serving rubbish.
The last chairman of a royal commission on the press didn't join in this bilious refrain. He went on to set up and run the Press Complaints Commission. He didn't ban editors from sitting around his table. On the contrary, he wanted them there – to set an example to their staff back in the office, to harness their expertise, to show that regulation was so important that it had to involve the top dogs. Now, in the memorial fashion of our public life, the moving finger does a 180-degree turn. Paranoia takes over.
If you're Hugh Grant or Steve Coogan, you see every argument, every objection, as some kind of sinister escape hatch. You construct one version of Leveson and declare it holy writ: no deviations allowed. If you're in newspapers, particularly tabloid ones, parallel suspicions take hold.
Did Sir Brian Leveson know anything about press workings before some totally non-transparent process made him the master of destiny? Why didn't HMG (because it was the government who appointed his "expert assessors" for him) put at least one tabloid adviser at his side to guide deliberations? How was it possible to conduct an inquiry sparked by hacking allegations over so many months without (because of contempt of court problems) dealing with any of them direct? Only now, years later, does that show make its Old Bailey debut.
Why was none of the victim-witnesses subjected to proper interrogation about the factual basis of the complaints? Who selected the assorted outrage cases, some of them going back 20 years, for examination? How on earth did the politicians themselves – and, still more ridiculously, the police – manage to emerge from Leveson's report smelling of carbolic, if not roses?
Add in pizza night at Big Ed's diner, a Privy Council wheeze that puts ministers in covert charge, a refusal to negotiate solutions face to face and, last Wednesday, a supercharged judicial refusal to sanction a pause or an appeal which had clearly been constructed and written far ahead of any actual hearing – and suspicion turns to anger, plus inevitable refusal to budge.
Thus we are, haplessly, where we are. There's a sealed charter, but nobody to open it. There's a new non-charter regulator in embryo, but a hostile chorus of politicians waiting to seize on any blunder, any mis-step across an entire industry, and use that as the reason for more legislation. Crucially, too, there's a public opinion that has bought the simple narrative and, pretty naturally, balked at digging deeper.
Of course press freedom is a complex concept. Of course it doesn't "die" with one Elizabeth R on the bottom of some vellum. Of course there won't be spaces marked "censored" in your paper this week. Of course we can all revile editors and proprietors who don't sing our favoured tune. Hyperbole is the enemy of understanding. But consider, in another part of this same, black forest, the message to BBC journalists last week from Grant Shapps, chairman of the Conservative party.
There was, said Shapps, a real question about the reporting of people like Mark Easton; an editorial question "about applying fairness in both directions, and that is also a question of credibility for the organisation". Could a BBC without such credibility expect to have its licence fee renewed, its own royal charter endorsed, come 2016? Not if there is "institutional bias" here, an ailment to be diagnosed and treated in Conservative Central Office.
See how one charter world blurs into another. See how the threat of retribution is intended to chill.
Shapps, the deniable voice of his blander Downing Street master, isn't alone in his wish to cow BBC journalists. Harold Wilson appointed a Tory chairman of governors to pursue such ends half a century ago. Tony Blair saw a chairman, a director general and a whole system of governance thrown in the bin. Prime ministers, in the British way of things, will either woo and flatter journalists, or try to flatten them.
That doesn't make journalism a heroic trade. On the contrary, it's often grubby. It makes grotesque mistakes and strays on the dark side. It lives on the edge. But unless you glimpse the basic tensions that simmer, over decades, below the surface here, you won't understand why the furies on both sides rage so unchecked. Nor will you find the people, or the Jonson Cox expertise, to make a better job of effective regulation. This thing has to be done by proper agreement, or it will inevitably fail. Welcome to Paranoia Gulch.

Confused Scout gets early rescue
Scout embarked on her long-awaited transatlantic attempt to Spain Saturday morning with fanfare off the beach at Fogland in Tiverton.
Champagne was uncorked, cameras rolled and spectators cheered as the little boat that a group of Tiverton friends and engineering students have labored over for the better part of three summers set out onto a gray river.
"Too bad that it's not more sunny, but it's her time to go," said Dylan Rodriguez of the Scout team.
Scout's departure was impressive.
The boat's electric motor turned on and Scout set off south down the Sakonnet River, following GPS satellite coordinates plugged into her computer.
The boat's trip down river was flawless and once beyond Sakonnet Point, a course adjustment properly sent Scout a bit southeast.
But off Martha's Vineyard's Gay Head, Scout took a startling jog to the east-northeast, roughly in the direction of Noman's Land, an uninhabited island just south of Gay Head.
(To see Scout's track, visit http://gotransat.com/tracking/
Given the choice of having Scout wreck on the island's rocky shore or rescue their boat, the team plucked Scout from the water Sunday and headed back to the workshop — still 3,410 miles from Spain. For the moment, the 60-plus mile record by an Irish team for such an unmanned attempt is intact.
The boat's handlers sent this message to friends ...
"The Scout crew would like to thank everyone for all of the support that we've received, both over the last few years and at the launch event yesterday. If you've been following the tracking page at gotransat.com/tracking, you've probably noticed that Scout recently took a trip back up the Sakonnet River at a speed of 18 miles an hour. After reviewing the onboard camera footage from the first 24 hours of the trip, we found the weather conditions offshore to be worse than we expected; Scout wasn't able to collect enough power during the day to meet its power budget. The crew analyzed the situation as it developed and decided that the most prudent course of action was to retrieve Scout before it could be washed into the islands to the North. Scout is now back in the workshop and is awaiting a proper weather window to be re-launched. The Scout crew is confident that with a launch in proper weather conditions, Scout will have ample room to drift without endangering itself. We will continue to monitor the weather and send updates as Scout's re-launch approaches. We would also like to thank the Andrade family for letting us use their boat in the rescue mission. We look forward to announcing the next launch soon."

What health services within rural communities tell us about Aboriginal people and Aboriginal health
Fredericks, Bronwyn L. (2010) What health services within rural communities tell us about Aboriginal people and Aboriginal health. Rural Society: The Journal of Research into Rural and Regional Social Issues in Australia, 20(1), pp. 10-20.

There is a growing body of literature within social and cultural geography that explores notions of place, space, culture, race and identity. When health services in rural communities are explored using these notions, it can lead to multiple ways of understanding the cultural meanings inscribed within health services and how they can be embedded with an array of politics. For example, health services can often reflect the symbolic place that each individual holds within that rural community. Through the use of a rural health service case study, this paper will demonstrate how the physical sites and appearances of health services can act as social texts that convey messages of belonging and welcome, or exclusion and domination. They can also produce and reproduce power and control relations. In this way, they can influence the ways that Aboriginal people engage in health service environments – either as places where Aboriginal people feel welcome, comfortable, secure and culturally safe and happy to use the health service, or as places where they utilise the service provided with a great deal of effort, angst and energy. It is important to understand how these complex notions play out in rural communities if the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal people is going to be addressed.

Valve Cover Gasket
When replacing my Vanos seals a few weeks back, along with the AC Delco Piston soak,(because of oil usage) to clean the contaminates from the pistons lands. I noticed that the valve cover gasket , that was put on the engine , before it was installed into the car last year,(newer engine swap, because of a bad valve in older one) was still very pliable. I could have really used the old gasket with out any trouble. The gasket was so pliable and rubbery , that when the last of the valve cover bolts were released, the valve cover almost popped of the head, except for the front and back, where a little extra sealant was used at the half moons.
These newer gaskets were made with a different material, so they wouldn't harden out and become brittle, but they may be to pliable. I started thinking, since I had replaced my Vanos seals, and the valve cover doesn't need to come off again because the newer gasket is made from a product that won't harden and fail,why not do this gasket a different way.
I used Permatex Ultra Gray Sealant , and made a thin skim of the product over the entire area that the valve cover would come into contact with on the head, all around the top of the head contact area. I installed the valve cover and then let the engine sit for the night.
Two weeks later, no oil leaks, have noticed that there seems to be extra vacuum in the intake manifold, I see that because it takes less brake pressure on the brake peddle to stop the car. I know that what I have done, will require more work to clean up , but I'm thinking, that I shouldn't have to remove the valve cover again for many years down the road, And this procedure is completly air tight. There will be purists, that may think this is a bad idea. But so far, I like it. Haven't seen any evidence in oil usage either, 1500 miles so far.
Nice idea. And proof that time machines won't be invented before the gasket has to be changed again. Or, you or the future owner would be kicking your current butt for making everything so tough to remove - even thought there are many intervening years of tight and dry benefit. :-)
The reason for using the Ultra Grey,,it seals well,,and isn't hard to separate, or break apart as other sealants are. It does it's job , but can be tore down easily. The bad side, would be the clean up,,if ya ever needed to go back in. I always used a little of this stuff on the gaskets in the middle around the spark plug wells anyway. It wasn't that bad cleaning up,,but did take a little extra time.
Last year when I did my timing chain guides I put all new gaskets on the engine.
This year when I did the vanos seals I reused the VC gaskets as they were still nice and soft.
I only used sealant (Hylomar) on the 1/2 moons and where the upper timing covers meet the lower timing cover and the heads.
No leaks.
Yep, this won't be for everyone. I just looked at how pliable these new gaskets are and gave a thought up that they may let a little air in , between where the bolts anchor everything down. I'm not sure where the extra vacuum pressure has come from, but I'm glad it's there, as stated the brake peddle is easier in stopping the car. May have come from the way the gasket was installed, or come have been from the piston soaking. Wish I had measured the vacuum at idle with a gauge before doing the work so as to note the increase.
I need to do mine.

With almost 310,000 miles on this car,,and most of it rebuilt,,like front and rear suspension along with new engine and transmission,,doubt that there will ever be another owner.

Read Our Full Review & Parent Discussion Questions Here
Rating & Content Info
Why is Driven rated PG-13? Driven is rated PG-13 by the MPAA for language and some intense crash scenes.
Overall: C
If you've always wondered what it would be like to hang out at the tracks, this movie is full of stunning visuals of cars including amazing action from the driver's point of view, and a moment where two competitors set aside differences to work together. It's also full of racy girls and some greasy language, although its greatest downfall is a script that leaves you begging for the checkered flag.
Violence: B-
Car collisions during professional races show intricate slow motion details of cars breaking apart. One crash involves a car overturned in a small pond, with the driver still pinned inside. No explicit injuries shown. Two professional drivers chase each other at high speeds through city streets, putting other public drivers and pedestrians at high risk. A fine from the racing association is mentioned, but no police consequences are seen for their reckless actions.
Sexual Content: B-
Devoid of any major sexual scenes, the entire movie is laced with women wearing the tightest and tiniest tanks, halters, shorts, and other clothing. In addition, one major female character swings between two different males, however sex between her and either man is never seen or alluded to.
Language: C-
At least: One possible sexual expletive (muttered), 2 moderate profanities, 20 mild profanities, 7 terms of Deity used as expletives or profanities.
Alcohol / Drug Use: C
Social drinking. Champagne used as part of celebrations. A distraught character drinks in a bar. The high-speed car chase (detailed under violence) begins at a gala that shows many characters drinking.

Bill Stone, author of The Chronicle of Thomas Stone of Hamilton Parish in Colonial Virginia, is researching the England Stones in an attempt to solidly connect his Thomas Stone, born circa 1699, to William Stone of Maryland and also to Thomas Stone, the Signer of the Declaration of Independence. Our William Stone (b.1772) is solidly connected to Thomas Stone (b.1699) via DNA.
As you may know, Bill has cancer and is in need of help to work on this project. Sue Stone Patrick has quite graciously stepped up to the plate to help. They are trying to raise $1000 to purchase DNA kits for Stone family members in England.
Click here to read letters from Bill and Sue
If you would like to help with this project, please contact me & I'll send you the details of how to make a contribution. Contact me here
The information about William's father, John, is sketchy at best. I'm aware that quite a few people have been searching high and low for more information, but to no avail. I'm aware of only two creditable sources (although arguably so) which are listed below.
1- At the bottom of page 32 in "Stone Connections" by Robert H Stone c.1987 he writes: "Another family that probably belongs in this area of our series of charts is John Stone b. 1750 in Guilford County, NC He married Polly Russell in 1771, and died in 1827 Chatham County, NC His children were William Stone b. 1772 who married Rachel....; John Stone; and Polly Stone b.1777 who married Patrick Sprint.
2- The DAR web site has members who have joined that document William and Polly Susannah being children of John.
If you have any information, please
contact me
Are there any offspring of Patrick Sprint (1774-1815), possibly spelled Sprunt, Thomas H Sprint (1804-1862) or Polly Susannah Stone (1777-1809) out there?
If so, I am very interested in filling in missing info. Please contact me.
I am indebted to many for the information contained on this site, but two ladies deserve to be mentioned by name. The first is Sandy Stone whose ancestor is William Stone, Jr. b.1810. My wife discovered Sandy on the internet and began sharing information and pictures via email. Experience has taught me that emails are not the best place to keep information. So this prodded me to develope the web site so that data could be in one spot and in "my hands". Sandy shared her PDF file that initially was used to load the database and has tirlessly uploaded additional data and pictures to the site.
The second is Linda Gallimore whose ancestor is John Stone b.1800. Not only has Linda entered much genealogy information on the site but she has also led me to the Stone and Gallimore home sites and cemetery. See links under "Family" in the top menu bar.
Finally, my wife Sara, who has a gift of finding kinfolks in the myriad of internet details, faithfully rides shotgun with me through the mountains of southwest Virginia and encourages me at every step. I am unable to adequately express my thanks to her.

text: The company I ordered mine from is NorCal trucks. I called them a few weeks ago to check on the status of my mounts. They don't actually manufacture the mounts themselves so they are at the mercy of others. They told me the mounts had been made and sent to the powder coater to be painted. I should have them in hand in about another week or so. I will post pics when I do the install with lots of pics. @Burden33 has mounted a 50 inch bar on his truck and I am looking forward to the advice he has on switch location. If you have any questions that I may be able to help with just let me know. Just got an email from NorCal trucks. Brackets are in the mail!!!!

Who doesn't rock out in the driver's seat?
Shawn Magrath
I love summertime, which makes it disappointing to realize we're finishing up the third week of July already. Bummer. I have a long "to do" list of summertime projects which I haven't even started – I haven't even finished my "to do" list. Procrastination is an awful habit and I, for one, am tired of time passing by with little to show for it. I'm going to seize every moment, take the bull by the horns. I'm no longer putting off till later what I can get done now… starting tomorrow.
Picture this: It's been a long day. You've been running on full tilt and you've finally made it to the drive home – the final stretch – when you get stuck at a red light. You wait for it to turn green, nonchalantly, your elbow leaning against the window ledge and your head resting on your hand. You casually glance over to the left and see the driver next to you, his head bopping, hands drumming on the steering wheel, shoulders lungeing forward to the beat of… whatever he's singing along with inside is own little refuge, and at that moment, he's oblivious that you can see right through his windows.
Few things are as entertaining as catching someone singing in their car (and thank you, man in the blue Volkswagon. You made my day). I have to say, if there's one place on the face of the earth where everyone feels comfortable singing – myself included – it's when they're alone behind the wheel. Personally, I think I'm a pretty good vocalist, Sinatra level even (at least until I turn the radio down. After that, the neighborhood dogs go nuts). And really, who hasn't been in the drivers seat late at night, rocking out to something like Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart?"
"And I need you now tonight; and I need you more than ever; and if you only hold me tight; we'll be holding on forever…"
On a completely separate note, have you ever wondered why people can such jerks? Supposedly, there's some neurological science to it. A new study out of Switzerland suggests that there's a link between the gray matter of one's brain and their… um… less than pleasant demeanor. That's not to say there isn't some social issues in that mix as well, so before people start lining up for disability just because they're a butt head, hopefully they keep in mind that (jerkishness?) is a controllable attitude.

'Swamp People' Star Glenn Guist's Emotional Tribute To His Late Brother Mitchell Guist
We here at Hot 107-9 are still stunned by the fact that Swamp People star Mitchell Guist has died. We welcomed Glenn and Mitchell Guist into our studio last year as they were our special guest for The Louisiana Outdoor Expo. Since Mitchell's shocking death, TMZ is reporting that Glenn Guist has made a promise to keep Mitchell's dream alive!!TMZ reported earlier toady that Mitchell collapsed on a house boat that he had been working on and was giving his project a "test run" upon his death.
Reports indicate that Mitchell had been working on the boat for months and his brother, Glenn, knows how much this project meant to his late brother. Knowing that, Glenn has vowed to complete Mitchell's project in his honor.
Swamp People star Mitchell Guist died Monday after collapsing on the boat he was working on and it is believed that he may have died due to a seizure. Funeral arrangements are set for this week at a local church — and Glenn's rep say he will begin work on the boat "after everything is taken care of with Mitchell."
We here at Townsquare Media would again like to extend our prayers & thoughts to the entire Guist family during this trying time.

The Lewis Legacy-Issue 73, Summer 1997
"Early Prose Joy" Not Available In The Bodleian
The C. S. Lewis Foundation for Truth in Publishing
June 1, 1997
"Early Prose Joy" Not Available In The Bodleian
There are three stages now in the deepening mystery of the elusive Lewis manuscript that Walter Hooper calls the "Early Prose Joy." It all began on p. 113 of C. S. Lewis: A Biography by Roger Lancelyn Green and Walter Hooper. There Hooper revealed that he had in his possession a 72-page document written by C.S. Lewis in 1930, when he was a theist.(Lewis began, "In this book I propose to describe the process by which I came back, like so many of my generation, from materialism to a belief in God.") The manuscript fills 62 pages of a notebook and ten loose sheets. No one has seen it. Decade after decade, eager Lewis specialists looked forward to learning more about the "Early Prose Joy" and wondered why it was being withheld. Because Hooper did not deposit it in his private cache in the Bodleian, Kathryn Lindskoog began to openly question its existence. (See footnote 20 on p. xxii of Finding the Landlord.) In his 1996 book C. S. Lewis: Companion and Guide, Hooper finally provided more information But now the mystery becomes far murkier. On p.181 Hooper announced blithely that the "Early Prose Joy" fills 58 pages in one of Lewis's notebooks and is kept in the Bodleian. (He seemed to forget that 22 years earlier the document filled 62 pages in a notebook and ten loose sheets.) Here is the latest twist. In 1997 a Bodleian librarian assured a bewildered researcher that Hooper's claim is wrong; they don't have a Lewis notebook containing "Early Prose Joy" and don't know why Hooper published that claim.

Chrysler Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello and welcome to JustAnswer!
Do you get one single loud click from the engine compartment when you try to start the engine?
Was the car running fine when you parked it?
Do you have nice bright headlights?
Do you have a voltmeter to test with?
Ok. Try moving the shifter and see if it will start in neutral, put it back up in park and retry it. If that doesn't help, lets see if there are any trouble codes stored.
Cycle the key from off to on three times without starting the engine, and the last time leave it on. Watch the digital odometer display. The codes start with a p and have four numbers, there may be more than one code. Write down any that you see and post them here and I'll tell you where to go from there.
The smaller clicks you hear, do they happen when you turn the key on, or do you get a fast click-click-click-click for as long as you hold the key in the crank position?

A seasonal cliche of TV news is the pictures of empty motorways and deserted airports on Christmas Day. But these symbolic shots are quite unnecessary because the bulletins themselves speak eloquently of a mass national shutdown. Yesterday morning, on BBC News 24 and Sky News, the short-straw staff sat in front of tinselled Christmas trees, which failed to hide the fact that, in the open plan offices behind them, almost every terminal displayed a screensaver.
An air of sadness hangs over holiday anchors, like someone drinking alone in a busy bar. In late December, the news is delivered by staff available due to domestic misery, non-Christian religion, or imposition on office juniors with no influence on the roster.
The paradox of this unmanning of the newsroom, though, is that it assumes news doesn't happen at Christmas. But, unlike aviation and railways, which can engineer a reduction in need by cutting services, bulletins are at the mercy of the market in events. This tension between news planning and the social calendar was best demonstrated by Princess Diana, the greatest news story of her time, who inconveniently died during a summer holiday weekend when almost the entire TV current affairs industry was in Tuscany, their years of rehearsal for a major royal death made futile by timing.
There have also been December disasters. The Soviets invaded Afghanistan on Christmas Eve, 1980, while the 2004 tsunami struck on Boxing Day. These stories were initially left to stand-ins and foreign stringers. So the holiday news shows convey an attitude that is otherwise considered anti-journalistic: a hope that nothing bad happens.
This year, the absentee gamble succeeded, although I know news producers who have had experts on standby for at least a decade to obituarise President Ford. But he slipped away while these pundits were away from their desks and so they missed their day in the lighting. A small example of a larger problem: that news can not be scheduled.

Managing wealth is just as important as accumulating it. In order to best protect and enhance the assets you've acquired it is a good idea to put together a sound portfolio. Working with a Financial Planning Services advisor such as Meritum Financial Group can help you better understand what options you have for managing your money.
We live in a time of great uncertainty. However, it does not follow that we have no means of rationally organizing our lives and resources. Financial Planning Australia helps those who have accumulated or inherited a great amount of wealth and seek to expand and preserve it. Such professionals can also help those who are saving for retirement—helping to conduct retirement planning and other types of personal financial management for ordinary people.
At no time has financial planning ever been more important as it is today. Increasingly, individuals have to rely on their own resources in their retirement planning. The days of life-time employment with a generous pension are long gone. In order to retire comfortably and peacefully individuals have to set their own course and take advantage of what money markets offer.
Meritum Financial Group can be of tremendous help in this endeavor.

We understand that financial planning is about more than just the numbers; it is about your life and the way you want it to be.

If you are trying to figure out the best way of managing your wealth, the financial planning advisors at Meritum Financial Group can help you as well. Our in-depth knowledge of how to increase the yield of your money can help you productively expand your wealth. Now, some persons may think this kind of work can be done through trial and error or their own research on the Internet. However, this can be risky, as the financial schemes you may find on your own may not produce the promised rewards. The insider knowledge of professionals gives you a much better chance of realizing your financial goals. Sitting down with a highly trained advisor, you can methodically explore and examine the routes that are most likely to deliver increased prosperity.

There isn't a ton of info about Rustclad yet. It looks like a uniquely styled game with extremely rich textures. What is really interesting though, is the process by which they are creating the in game assets. They're building everything in miniature and scanning it in. While this has been done before do certain degrees for games (clay fighters anyone?), I really like the result. It seems to give a weight to things when there is an actual physical construction process.
They haven't released much yet, but I'd keep an eye on Rusclad.

I know shamans are kinda messed up right now, what else is new.
But I'm up to 900 and my already underwhelming DPS has seen no significant increase. I'm pretty sure it's tied to my low haste rating, but I'd like to make sure and see if it's just that or something else I can work to change.
I'll Sim around 760k, This week I got 630k on Krosus, going up to 900k on Skorp and Tich.
I feel like this is all far too low, one of our top dps is a warlock at i897 and often easily goes 900k and up just on single target.
I could really use some help figuring out what I've done wrong and what I could improve.
My usual priority rotation works as follows:
>Maintain Landslide/Flametongue/Hailstorm
>Doom winds when off CD and Stormbringer proc'd.
>Stormstrike when proc'd
>LavaLash when proc'd
>Stormstrike when off CD
>Lavalash when 90+ Maelstrom
>Rockbiter when -90 Maelstrom
Feral Spirit-Crash Lightning combo and Doom Winds I'll sometimes delay if there's an add/burn phase, and I have a habit of refreshing Flametongue and Hailstorm on CD if I don't have any procs. I'll also occasionally mismanage Maelstrom and need to do 2-3 Rockbiters to get back up to speed.
My opener consists of: Prolonged Power>Feral Spirit>Rockbiter>Crash Lightning>Flametongue>Frostbrand>Stormstrike

So I was raiding with a rogue that was doing around 750k~ dps, i'm still learning assassination and i hover around 450-500k because I'm bad. However I noticed he was using deadly for a lot of the fights even though he was specced for agonizing. Should I be switching back and fourth?

Hey there,
so Ive been turning to icy-veins' guides for advice for some time now, and I hope somebody can help me with my current problem as well.
Im a Ret-Pally currently 903 equipped with 45 traits. According to the parses on warcraftlogs and also my personal feeling, Im performing rather poorly on NH HC raids.
Here's some info:
Armory: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/azshara/Vorenus/advanced
WoWLog: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/TZ8gBPH37FYKhzv6/
Things I am already aware of:
- Zeal isnt optimal for single target (forgot to get tomes to change during raid)
- Potion of old war is better than Prolonged power (same issue)
- Missing enchants on neck and back
Now I see how the above might add up some damage, but it feels like im lacking substantially more. The parse of scorp in particular seemed underwhelming, although this might be because we didnt pull all adds constantly (?). Anyhow, I looked at checkmywow for reference, and I wasted almost no CDs, barely any HP and my HP-Spender with judgement up ratio was between 95 and 100%.
I dont have access to Convergence or 4 set bonus right now, nor any better legendary than Sephuz.
I wanna improve but I am kinda stuck right now, unsure of what to work on. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

When Zahnee Campbell woke from life-changing surgery in New York, the first thing on her mind was playing soccer.
Thanks to a nearly $70,000 fundraising effort by her determined mother Jade Riley, Zahnee, who celebrates her 6th birthday on Saturday, will be able to fulfil her dream of joining a soccer team.
The operation, which is not available in New Zealand, was to reposition her eyes due to damage from a rare facial vascular hemangioma tumour she was born with.
Before surgery, Zahnee had to hold her head on an angle, wear glasses and struggled with her sense of depth and perception, often causing her to bang into things.
When she woke up, Zahnee instinctively held her head straight and shocked her parents by walking up stairs without putting two feet on each stair.
"Automatically she did one after the other, like you or I," Ms Riley said.
Zahnee's parents had planned to book Zahnee in for plastic surgery to rebuild her eyelid and eyebrow on her return to New Zealand, but they have now decided to let her make the decision for herself when she is old enough.
"To us she's perfect," Ms Riley said.
Once Zahnee plucked up the courage to open her right eye, her parents treated her to a trip to an American toy store.
"All she picked out was a soccer ball, it was white and pink," Ms Riley said.
The family is now seeking a suitable girls' soccer team for her to join.
Zahnee and her family are not long back from the US and on Tuesday she returned to her classroom at St Thomas More Catholic School as somewhat of a celebrity among her peers.
"She couldn't wait to get there, she asked me several times 'how many sleeps?'," Ms Riley said.
Immediately after her surgery Zahnee faced a tough couple of days when she didn't wake up while her body fought a reaction to the anesthetic and dehydration.
"It was quite scary, we were dying for her to wake up," Ms Riley said.
When she finally woke, Zahnee's eyes were bruised and swollen, but the surgery had been a success.
"All she mentioned was will she be able to get into the soccer team.
"It all went really well, I believe it was better than expected," Ms Riley said.
Seeing her daughter's self-image bloom has made the intensive three-month fundraising drive including cake stalls, sausage sizzles, mufti days, garage sales, discos, raffles, a fundraising dinner and creating and publishing a cookbook all worthwhile.
"To be honest what I'm really going to enjoy now is spending time with the kids. To me the Christmas holidays can't come round soon enough," Ms Riley said.
She wanted to thank those who had supported the family and "Zahnee's Cause". "The empathy and compassion is what's going to last me a lifetime," she said.
Copies of Pohutukawa Princess Cookbook are still available by sending a cheque or money order for $8 (one book including postage and add $5 for each additional book) to Cook Book, PO Box 11186, Papamoa 3151.

SPREADING ideas through the arts was a cornerstone of John Rety's philosophy. John, who passed away last week aged 79, ran the Torriano Meeting House in Kentish Town from 1982 along with his partner Susan Johns, lending his intellect and drive to progressive causes throughout his life.
The range of people who have appeared at the Meeting House is too vast to adequately catalogue. Stephen Spender vowed his appearance there a couple of years before he died would be his last ever public reading, while Dannie Abse, Adrian Mitchell and John Hegley have been regulars.
But more importantly it has provided a platform for hundreds of people to express themselves through writing and sharing thoughts with others. It has always been a democratic place and this mirrors John's philosophy of every person having something to say.
He was born in Budapest in 1930, and his political views were shaped by his childhood experiences. His grandmother escaped a pogrom in Serbia by swimming across a river with her children strapped to her back, while following the outbreak of war, John's family knew life as Jewish people was going to become extremely tough.
His father Istvan was interned on an island in the Danube – it held sporting events and John, aged 12, was able to get to the island on the pretext of watching a football match. Instead, he spoke to his father through camp fences, and pleaded with him to escape. Istvan did get out and he and his wife Ilona spent the war in hiding.
John's grandmother had been responsible for his care but she was imprisoned. Tragedy struck on the day the war ended. She approached a guard and said he could now put down his rifle and take off the fascist armband he was wearing. He murdered her. It was a devastating tragedy that convinced John his future was away from Hungary.
Aged 16, he wrote a play about war and how adults had a lot to answer for – a theme John spoke about last year in a radio interview, saying: "War is devastating, first and foremost, for children. They do not understand why their parents have gone berserk."
The play was performed on the steps of the Budapest parliament – a dangerous thing to do. He arrived in London in 1946 as an apprentice for a publishing house. He published a novel aged 21 called Super Sozzled Nights and hung out with Soho bohemians. It led him into the magazine trade, and he edited literary tomes The Cheshire Cat, The Intimate Review and Fortnightly. John would hawk them on weekend evenings to cinema queues.
John met his partner Susan Johns in 1958. They moved into Robert Street, Regent's Park and scraped a living by putting on a jazz night at a Soho basement bar, and then ran a second-hand furniture store in Camden High Street.
John was a member of the radical anti-nuclear group the Committee of 100, and his politics were anarchist – although he said it was his own form of anarchism, as he found tracts on anarchist theory so badly written he could not make head nor tail of what they were going on about.
In the Sixties, he took on the editorship of anarchist magazine Freedom, and also became involved with the Chalk Farm squatters' movement. At the end of the 1970s, John worked for the Student Community Housing (SCH) as a roofer. This was cut short when he fell and fractured his arm. But the accident prompted him to enrol in a City and Guilds art course.
When Camden Council offered a semi-derelict building in Torriano Avenue to the SCH, the keys were handed over to the place that so many people associate with John. It was in too poor a state of repair for the SCH to take on, but John and Susan liked it and moved in. They were squatting as they had no contract. It is impossible to articulate the depth and range of events that have been held at the Meeting House, and the causes that have found a hospitable base there.
John's legacy is also hard to encapsulate. He has touched the lives of so many people, given his time selflessly to so many causes, and provided inspiration to all those who met him.
The New Journal has been inundated with letters expressing shock at John's sudden death last week. Here is a selection of those we have received – see our website for further tributes.
Poet Jehane Markham
"He ran the only truly democratic poetry reading venue, where anyone was allowed to get up and read one poem before a guest reader. It was a great place to learn the trade of speaking poetry and the atmosphere was unique. John was sometimes moody, he hated pretentiousness and petty mindedness but he had an ear for poetry and was always gallant."
Poet John Gutkind
"For over 20 years he and Sue Johns ran the Torriano Meeting House with a generosity and openness seldom seen in the poetry world or anywhere else. His publishing house Hearing Eye Press gave a first foot-up into being published to many people who may not have found another outlet. Many people also relied on the place for good warm company, it was vital to many people's lives, and it was John's kooky, wise, tireless and benign spirit that made that so."
Artist Linda Black
"I met John when I was running Apollo Etching Studio around the corner from Torriano. John being a believer in community and in artists supporting each other, offered us Torriano for a group exhibition. I will always be grateful to John for supporting and believing in me."
Beata Duncan
"He was welcoming, enthusiastic, encouraging. He gave me confidence."
Poet Alan Brownjohn
"So many people feel a deep gratitude towards John and how he got Torriano together."
Poet Dinah Livingstone
"John's energy also led to many poetry readings apart from Torriano. He would sally forth with a few other poets to read at all kinds of venues, such as the Land is Ours occupation of the Guinness site in Wandsworth, and the Camley Street Nature Reserve. He was active in all sorts of political campaigns, seen on countless marches. It was a tremendous shock to hear that John had died so suddenly. He was working hard to his very last day and, as quite a few people remarked, he seemed immortal, a part of the London landscape one couldn't imagine it being without. It will be very hard indeed to get used to his absence."
Poet John Horder
"John and Susan established the Torriano on Sunday evenings not for the literary equivalent of Knees Up Mother Brown but as a haven of eccentricity, and a kind of geriatric humanity."
I have only just learnt of John's death, and am deeply shocked.
What a big-hearted, empathic and memorable man he was.
He will be sorely missed by many, and my heart goes out to Sue who will miss him most of all.
All the love and warmth in the world to you Sue, and may you keep him warm in your heart for ever.
my brief obit/tribute @ www.omoopart5.blogspot.com
my brief obit/tribute @ www.omoopart5.blogspot.com.
i met john rety selling intimate review in the g and g coffee bar at charing cross in the 50's and he slipped in and out of my life continually, often by chance or on demonstrations.
i would say 99.9% of my memories of john are associated with laughter. he
had a way of looking at the ridiculous aspect of human activity, how we trip ourselves up when attempting serious thought. this was often accompanied by copious amounts of beer, sue and johns home made brew being the heartiest. He gave me my first exhibition at the Shaw Theatre for the Armistice anti-war "celebrations" and later was kind enough to give me a spot on the stage at torriano to read some poetry i had written on the forthcoming general election. For all these generous hearted gifts i thank him . He will be missed.
I remember John when he used to come to Camden Community Arts meetings (it was a sort of local arts council) with Hilde Holger and others, and once enjoyed his hospitality at an interesting Sunday afternoon party. Although I havn't seen him since, I am sorry to learn of his death and should like to add my two penn'orth of condolences. Nice man; life well-lived.

The boss has just promoted me over at ALA to Producer. I am not sure what exactly this means, but to me it is work as usual... a lot of playing with the code and meeting new people. Hopefully I will meet my boss for the first time at SXSW.

Where I stayed
Luckily, though, we did find several other things to keep us entertained during our days in Bogota. For example, there`s a business up there owned by Miguell Cabrero. He`s well known for making bulletproof clothing. So we stopped by to visit. And although we weren`t able to get shot (another rumor that failed to come true) we did get to try on a bulletproof trench coat, which was pretty neat. We also visited the Gold Museum (dedicated to all things gold, from its history, to how to form it into pretty objects, to a wide variety of golden objects from different areas of Colombia), the Botero Museum (more works of the Colombian artist Botero, and a few other things), and the Police Museum (with a section dedicated to the pursuit and capture of Pablo Escobar)
Outside of Bogota, we took a day trip to visit the locally famous Salt Cathedral. Although this turned out to more closely resemble a theme park than a small town church, it was still interesting. At this site, there is an active salt mine, and a second extensive mine system that was used until 1990. At that point, they changed the location of the active mining, and converted the old mines into a tourist attraction / church. Entering through the main mine enterance, you descend along a path, passing by the stations of the cross. Each one is built into what was once salt, and is now an extensive empty chamber. At the bottom of the mine, several chambers have been converted into a cathedral area, creating a church underground. It was an interesting tour, and an impressive church, mostly for the sheer size -- the spaces underground were amazingly vast. One of the smaller chambers even had a 3D movie theatre.

Captain Mohammad Nabi's unbeaten 46 helped Afghanistan reach its victory target of 94 with 175 balls remaining in the qualifying competition in the United Arab Emirates. He and Hashmatullah Shaidi, who scored 13, made a 62-run fourth-wicket stand after Afghanistan was reduced to 34-3.
"I can't express my feelings," Nabi said in a statement from the International Cricket Council, the game's governing body. "I didn't expect to play in a World Cup when I started playing cricket."
Nabi hit a four for the winning runs, leading to a celebration as his teammates ran onto the field carrying a giant Afghanistan flag. Kenya was earlier bowled out for 93 in 43.3 overs.
The victory enabled Afghanistan to finish second to Ireland in qualification, earning it a place in a pool at the 2015 World Cup that includes co-hosts Australia, a four-time champion, and New Zealand, along with England, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and a team yet to be determined.
"Afghanistan is a talented team who will prove a competitive opponent for any team that comes up against it," ICC Chief Executive David Richardson said in the statement.
Afghanistan has made a rapid ascent after the country's cricket board in 2001 became an affiliate member of the ICC.
Even though it isn't allowed to play home matches because of the political situation in the country, it's had success in Twenty20 cricket, the game's shortest form. The team qualified for the 2010 and 2012 World Cups and is ninth in the ICC's T20 world rankings.
In the 50-overs format, Afghanistan is currently 13th in the world rankings, two spots below five-time World Cup participant Kenya. The Afghans missed qualifying for the 2011 World cup by one place.
"Now I can cherish this moment and look forward to playing against the best sides in some of the best playing facilities," Nabi added. "Playing in a World Cup will be one grade up and we'll try to work hard and do better."

Is a cluster of twenty islands lying in the Sibuyan Sea, that is practically at the center of the Philippine archipelago. It is south of Marinduque, west of Masbate, east of Mindoro, and north of Panay Island. Romblon is also known as the "Marble Country".
The land
Romblon consists of three main islands: Romblon, Tablas and Sibuyan. The whole province is generally mountainous. Narrow strips of coastal lowland, low hills and plains characterize some of the islands.
The Province of Romblon has stable weather with peak season from November to April.
A Brief History
The first Spaniards who came to visit the province in 1582, named it "Lomlon".
In 1818, Romblon was made a sub-province of Capiz.
A civil government was established in the islands by the Americans in 1901.
Romblon was created as a province in 1901 but due to insufficient income, it became a sub-province of Capiz in 1907 until 1917, when it was re-established as a province.
Romblon was abolished as a province in 1941. On January 1, 1947 it regained its provincial status.
The People
The earliest residents of the province were believed to be Negritos from Panay and Mangyans from Mindoro.
Today, Romblon´s population is made up of several ethnolinguistic groups. Majority are descendants of Malay settlers in Panay. Ilonggo and Tagalog are widely spoken, although some areas have their own distinct dialects.
Commerce and Industry
Romblon has become synonymous with its most important mineral resource - marble. In fact, all the islands comprising the province have marble. Quarries on these islands produce raw marble for sculpture and construction purposes.
There are around 20 small and larger resorts, several hundred foreigners either living there permanently or still coming and going - and many fish sanctuaries plus an amazingly beautiful nature. with spring, river, waterfalls, caves etc.
The occupations of the people include farming, livestock raising, and logging. The Sibuyan Sea provide year-round fishing opportunities.
During the off-season, farmhands engage themselves in cottage industries such as basket-weaving, rope and fishnet making, and marble curing.
The women of Romblon are mostly involved in crocheting.
Getting There and Away
Domestic flights are available from Manila.
Ferries from neighbouring island provinces depart for Romblon several times a week.
Other Information
The capital town of Romblon has one of the safest natural harbors in the country. A few kilometers away from the town proper in barangay Suwa are the beaches of Bonbon and Tiamban. Off the coast are islets with white sand beaches.
St. Joseph Cathedral in Romblon town was built by the recollect fathers in the 15th century and features a Byzantine altar, stained-glass windows, and a collection of antique icons and religious paintings.
Fort San Andres is an old Spanish fort made of coral bricks atop a hill in the town proper. It is now used as a weather station.

Steamboat Springs "Look at this office," Rocky Mountain Youth Corps Program Coordinator Avrom Feinberg announced above the talk of about 10 people. They were sitting in a circle, each wearing matching maroon shirts, under a tree off the Tombstone Trail at Steamboat Lake State Park picking at sack lunches.
Feinberg nodded down to Steamboat Lake, which lay just below the group. Above the water is Sand Mountain, which still has ample amounts of snow from the winter. The sky was blue and the sun warmed the ground the group sat on, which stimulated a fragrant pine smell that lingered through the forest.
"This cubicle has a window seat," Feinberg said with a laugh.
The talking ceased, and everyone looked south, out from the perch above the lake at the picturesque view.
Not long after, Feinberg's watch began beeping, which signaled the end of lunch. The group automatically climbed back to its feet and prepare for another stint of work on the trail.
"Only four more hours of work," Feinberg said.
Work for the Rocky Mountain Youth Corps entails clearing, widening and repairing trails on state and federally managed public lands. Each member of this group was in training last week at Steamboat Lake, along with nine other Colorado youth corps agencies. They are future crew leaders and will be in charge of a seven-member trail crew made up of teen-agers or college students. Next month, the crews will depart into the national and state forests for four weeks of trail work.
Feinberg was the simulated crew leader for the week. He showed the local Rocky Mountain Youth Corps trainees how to do trail maintenance and how to work with crew members. This year 42 teen-agers from Northwest Colorado and 40 college students have signed up for the youth corps.
But a repaired trail isn't the only result of the work. Feinberg said the Rocky Mountain Youth Corps is a chance for the young trail workers to break out of their comfort zones in life, take on challenges and achieve goals.
In a sense, the crew leaders also are a guide to self-discovery, Feinberg said.
"It's pretty easy to walk away from youth corps with some personal growth," he said.
What Feinberg aims at is a better understanding of the self.
"The medium in which they learn this is trail work. Along with that comes a good work ethic," he said.
Rocky Mountain Youth Corps Executive Director Gretchen Vandecarr said locals know the importance of spending time in the backcountry for one's personal growth and exuberance.
"Imagine what they are like when they come back after being in the backcountry for four weeks," she said.
In the setting of work and isolation, each crew member bonds with one another and discovers qualities in themselves otherwise untapped in their normal day-to-day routines, Vandecarr said.
The crews also are paid for their work. Teen-agers make $240 a week and college students rake in $300. Food and lodging (a tent) is provided.
"It's not a huge amount of money, but look what you get out of it," Vandecarr said. "People say they can make more money working at Taco Bell or something, but they are going to learn so much more here."
This is not a new concept, explained Ann Baker, executive director of the Colorado Youth Corps Agency.
"There is a whole movement to create youth development through work," she said.
However, putting it in a wilderness setting, which is so far removed from comfort zones of a young person's life, is novel. Also, in Baker's opinion, it is the most effective.

PADM 5006 Final Exam B Fall 1999
Use separate sheets of paper as needed to answer. Please be sure to put your name on your answer sheets and the number of the question you are answering. When done staple all your answer sheets and your exam together and hand them in.
Please explain your responses.
1.Stanislaus County has relatively high unemployment. Suppose a high tech firm is considering locating in Modesto. They indicate that they will hire 100 people into high paying technologically advanced jobs. They note this will have a multiplier effect and generate higher incomes and therefore higher taxes every year forever. Also they point out it will raise local property values and thus increase tax revenues. Therefore they argue the benefits they would bring to the county would be "infinitely valuable" and the county should give them a substantial ($20 million) subsidy to locate in Stanislaus.
- Comment on whether you think the city should be willing to give a subsidy.
- Would it matter if they would also train the people they would employ and plan to target for employment people who have been experiencing long term persistent unemployment?
2. Which of the following would you classify as a public good or private good? Briefly, why? Public housing Local fire protection services Public parade Concert TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) Casserole Great casserole recipe on the Internet Sees Chocolates New paint set for Christmas National Defense
3. Currently in California the government requires auto emissions inspections and emissions control devices. Why might it be desirable for the government to be involved in this issue? (Hint: please relate this issue to the Coase Theorem.) How else could public policy be used to reduce the level of pollution? What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of alternative approaches?
4. Suppose someone suggests: "The Social Security tax is efficient and fair because it is split equally between workers and employers." Discuss this idea. Please include definitions of the key terms used in your arguments.
5. Whats the difference between the economic justifications for social insurance programs such as Medicare and Unemployment insurance versus social redistribution programs such as TANF and Food Stamps?

You got it yet VF?
You got it yet VF?
Heh, spent 3 hours in an alignment place today, they checked EVERYTHING!
Theres no play in the arms, the droplinks, the wheel bearings, the anti roll bars, the rack, the rods, the alignment is still spot on (other than the caster being out, but no way of ajusting that)....
He did find that the top UJ on the steering column had play in it and is causing the knocking noise....(part #3)
yes they apparently fail as well! should be a lot better when thats fitted. when you getting it?
Hopefully my man at bmw will get me a good price, so sooner rather than later!
www.bmminiparts.com i have had my last few things from them! very good prices.
Egon (08-05-2010)
Cheers VF.My man reakons £108 for that bit...have just requested it from bmminiparts, to get a comparison.
You got a good set of spanners for doing your rack? oddball sizes too? 18mm 16mm i think there was even a 15 in there somewhere!
Also, I can confirm it can be replaced from the engine compartment (at least with a 4 cylinder engine). It's a fit fiddly but it can be done in 15 min., I've done it myself to isolate the rattle in the steering column.
Egon (07-05-2010)
Cheers lestat, appreciate it
How much you want for it mate? (pm might be easier, might save us bunging up VF's thread! )
Did you isolate the rattle then? was it that?

Please note: this is a personal website, NOT a support resource for various large games and app companies that send their customers here. Use this page to find the crash logs but then contact them, not me.
iTunesConnect service – a web site that iPhone developers use to manage their published applications – has a separate area that will list all the synced crash reports from the application users.
However, not all of the crashes appear there, or are slow to appear. Thus, if you have a desperate problem with someone's application, it's a good idea to pick these up and send them to a developer.
Here's how, in three major operations systems: Mac OS X, Windows Vista / Windows 7 and for Windows XP.
iTunes sync
Application crash logs are transfered to your computer each time you do a sync with the device, in the iTunes. Thus, first step is to sync with iTunes:
Mac OS X
On the Mac, crash logs are kept at:
where ~ is your Home folder. Here's an example:
There's the
.crash file and
.plist file - archive them both and send to a developer. Actually, pick all the files you find there that have the name of the problematic application.
Windows Vista / Windows 7
Files are located here:
AppData folder is hidden by default, so here's how to access it. Get into your personal folder:
Now click on the folder (address) bar which will change the display into Windows folder path and add
\AppData to it, then click Enter.
This will then show the folder contents. From here, you can follow the path above until you get to the crash logs.
For Windows 7, follow the same procedure.
Windows XP
Location is here:
Application Data folder is usually hidden by default, so you need to reveal it in the same way as in Vista – by typing in and pressing Enter.
And that's it. Easy :) - rest is for developer to sweat it.
