New data for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1Tuesday January 26 2010
Data for the Panasonic DMC-GH1 available.
Read the DxOMark review for this model comparing its performance within the four-thirds category.
Further readings for the New data for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
The Panasonic DMC GH1 replaces its predecessor, the Panasonic DMC G1. Both are 12 megapixel four-thirds sensors with micro-four-thirds mounts, although the GH1's is more video-oriented.
At first glance, we would expect both cameras to have similar (if not identical) sensors. Actually, looking at the GH1 manufacturer's specifications, this is definitely not the case, since the GH1 contains a slightly wider sensor capable of keeping the same diagonal size for different aspect ratios such as 4/3, 3/2, and 16/9. The sensor is natively 14 megapixels, but at most only 12 megapixels can be output in 4/3 aspect ratio (fewer with other aspect ratios), so we chose to evaluate its performance in 4/3 aspect ratio.

I need some help to put this simple code into MVC any help would be appreciated. It is a simple form which retrieves data from an SQL DB.. it works fine as one file but I have problems to put it in MVC, especially with submit part.:(I know for many people this is an easy thing to do in MVC... but i am in a learning process. Plz help
=================== HTML ========

Search Contacts Details

You may search either by first or last name
<form method="post" action="search_start.php?go" id="searchform"><input type="text" name="name"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Search"></form>
================== PHP ============<?phpif(isset($_POST['submit'])){if(isset($_GET['go'])){if(preg_match("/[A-Z | a-z]+/", $_POST['name'])){
//-query the database table$sql="SELECT * FROM Contacts WHERE FirstName LIKE '%" . $name . "%' OR LastName LIKE '%" . $name ."%'";
//-run the query against the mysql query function$result=mysql_query($sql);
//-create while loop and loop through result setwhile($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
$FirstName =$row['FirstName'];$LastName=$row['LastName'];$ID=$row['ID'];$Email=$row['Email'];
//-display the result of the array//echo "

" . "" .$FirstName . " " . $LastName . "
\";
//echo "
";}}else{echo "
Please enter a search query
";}}}
My suggestion is to read about what MVC is. It's not just pushing a "button convert to MVC", most of the times it's preferred to use some MVC framework and for each the code and approach will slightly differ.
I suggest reading From Flat PHP to Symfony2. It takes you step-by-step from the kind of PHP you're writing now to a more organized structure.
Definitely +1
And maybe you should post the result of your refactoring so someone can use it as an example and learn from it (or we can even improve what you've done).
So is this part of a larger site or what? The reason I ask is that wrapping a whole bunch of abstraction around something so simple might not be answer.
@ronalds ;, you mean you haven't found PHP's convert-mvc feature yet?
Also, a thread I just started: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?935584-MOVE-Pattern
I suggest you to use CodeIgniter framework. Really easy, light and clear
Vote for Zend Framework 1.x here
Are we voting now?
+1 for Symfony2

GSA Awards ACES task order to AT&T for Access America for Students Initiative
September 19, 2000
Contact: Bill Bearden (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON, DC -- The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has made the first multi-agency task order to AT&T Corporation and its ACES (Access Certificates for Electronic Signature) Business Team to provide services under the ACES program. This will be used to implement common digital signature processes for multiple federal agencies through the initiative called "Access America for Students".
Under the "Access America for Students" initiative, post-secondary students, schools, and lending communities would have electronic access to government information and services via the Internet.
ACES is a joint effort between the GSA's Federal Technology Service and its Office of Governmentwide Policy to provide for a means for both citizens and businesses to obtain digital certificates that will be used to authenticate their identity in conducting transactions with government agencies. It is a key initiative in facilitating the response of Federal agencies to the Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA).
In February 1997, Vice President Gore and the National Performance Review issued the report Access America: Reengineering Through Information Technology. This report presented a broad plan to provide for widespread electronic access to government information and services using the Internet and other communications systems available to the public.
In October 1998, GPEA was signed into law, mandating that Federal agencies provide individuals and entities the ability to electronically submit information or transactions by 2003. Additionally, all Federal forms that are completed by 50,000 or more persons must also be available electronically by 2003. In January 1999, Vice President Gore announced the Access America for Students program to provide such electronic access to the post-secondary student, school, and lending communities.
Five government agencies are participating under this task order as part of the Access America for Students program. The agencies are:
Department of Education's Office of Student Financial Assistance
Department of Labor
Department of Veteran's Affairs
U.S. Postal Service
General Services Administration
The program is being directed through a steering committee comprised of twelve Federal agencies and chaired by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Department of Education's Office of Student Financial Assistance.
"This award represents an important milestone in advancing electronic government services to citizen groups," said Sandra Bates, Commissioner of GSA's Federal Technology Service. "Through the Access America web portal (students.gov), post secondary students and schools will be able to perform a wide range of business transactions electronically with multiple federal agencies in a common and secure way using ACES digital certificates."
David Temoshok, GSA's Program Director for Access America for Students, said, "The Access America for Students project will be the first opportunity to demonstrate the interoperability of ACES digital signature certificates, allowing participants to authenticate and sign documents with a number of Federal programs."
The following are the agency applications planned for trial using ACES:
US Department of Education--Free Application for Student Aid: The Department of Education receives 14 million federal student aid applications annually and plans to move the entire process on-line, first using PIN password access and then with digital signature.
US Department of Labor: America's Learning Exchange (ALX) Career Management Account: The Department of Labor Education and Training Administration (ETA) administers America's Career Kit -- the most comprehensive employment resource on the Internet. America's Career Kit includes America's Job Bank, America's Talent Bank, America's Career InfoNet, and America's Learning eXchange (ALX).
As part of the ALX, the Labor Department's Education and Training Administration is creating individual career management accounts to provide workers and students with a lifelong learning portfolio and a suite of on-line career management tools. The Department of Labor ETA projects an initial pilot program of 10,000 accounts requiring authenticated access and disclosure information. Each account holder will be issued an ACES certificate for digital signature access to and disclosure from their account.
U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs:
WAVE: WAVE will allow a student to electronically verify his or her enrollment every month over the Internet. The information the student provides will be used to electronically process the transfer of benefits due. Each veteran in the pilot program will be issued an ACES certificate to provide for digital signature of the monthly certification.
NetCert: The VA NetCert project will provide educational institutions the ability to electronically submit student enrollment information to VA.
VONAPP: This initiative will create an electronic application for VA education benefits to replace the paper applications now being filed by veterans.
US Postal Service Electronic Change of Address. The US Postal Service National Customer Support Center plans to pilot test electronic change of address using multiple methods of authentication, including ACES certificates for authentication and digital signature. When implemented, students will be able to submit digitally signed notices of address change directly to the US Postal Service web site.

Associated Press
VANCOUVER, Wash. — Vancouver police officers and Clark County sheriff's deputies are working with doctors at Oregon Health &Science University in Portland to improve their health.
The officers replaced doughnuts with fruit and veggies in their diets, increased their physical activity and were working on stress reduction, The Columbian reported in Sunday's newspaper.
The changes are part of a $3 million four-year health study led by Dr. Kerry Kuehl, who has enlisted 130 deputies from the Clark County Sheriff's Office and 80 officers from the Vancouver Police Department, along with two law enforcement agencies in Oregon.
Over the next few years, Kuehl hopes to expand the program to police departments across the country.
The first step was stress and fitness tests of all the officers in the study.
About 21 to 25 percent of people in the general population have metabolic syndrome, a combination of conditions including high blood pressure, high blood sugar levels, diabetes, excess body fat and abnormal cholesterol levels. In law enforcement, 35 percent have metabolic syndrome, Kuehl said.
Disrupted sleep patterns and hyper vigilance from always being on guard contribute to these conditions.
Some of the goals set for officers in the study included minimum requirements for daily fruit and vegetable servings and physical activity, hours of sleep, quitting tobacco use and reducing alcohol intake.
About once a week, teams of four to six officers got together before or after work to lead their own 45-minute workshops on nutrition, fitness and stress management.
Teamwork and healthy competition improved sleep behaviors, fatigue and diet among participants. Kuehl is encouraged by the results and plans to use this year to test its durability and see if officers will stick with their nutrition and fitness goals.
Clark County Sheriff Garry Lucas and former Vancouver Police Chief Cliff Cook supported the program, but their officers did not receive any incentives or bonuses for participating. They could participate free of charge.
"This isn't easy. We can't do it without the participation of law enforcement officers," Kuehl said.
Keuhl will release more data after presenting his six-month findings at the 34th annual Society of Behavioral Medicine meeting March 23 in San Francisco.

SL Preview: Suns ready to shine
Jacksonville hosting All-Star Game, top outfield prospects
By John Parker / MLB.com | April 4, 2013 6:00 AM ET
The Jacksonville Suns appear set to have a banner season in the Southern League. Not only is the club hosting the circuit's All-Star Game for the first time since 2003, but the Miami Marlins' offseason fire sale has significantly deepened their prospect pool, providing the Suns with several top young hitters, particularly in the outfield.
With Christian Yelich, Jake Marisnick and Marcell Ozuna in the outfield, the Suns have the Marlins' No. 2, 3 and 7 prospects respectively. Unfortunately they won't be ready to go on Opening Day. Top prospect Jose Fernandez (who ranks No. 7 overall in the Minor Leagues) was slated to begin the season in Jacksonville, but injuries at the big league level have prompted Miami to name him its fifth starter. The 20-year-old has never pitched above the Class A level, however, and will likely be subject to strict pitch counts. He may well see time in the Southern League as the season progresses.
Though it's tough to predict team success with prospects moving up and down, this firepower bodes well for the Suns: Many of their players were members of the Jupiter Hammerheads club that lost in the Florida State League Finals last year and the Greensboro Grasshoppers team that won the South Atlantic League crown in 2011. Jacksonville has had significant success of its own, winning back-to-back titles in 2009-'10, its first two seasons as a Marlins affiliate.
Bragan Field at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville features a new scoreboard with a 58-foot by 25-foot 10-mm high-definition screen in preparation for the All-Star Game on July 17 as well as future events like the ACC Baseball Tournament. The $1.2 million project was funded by the Jacksonville Tourist Development Council with revenue generated from the City's Occupancy Tax, which is applied to all hotel rooms in the city.
Home sweet home: Last season the Huntsville Stars got an MVP performance from hometown boy Hunter Morris, who hit .303 with 28 homers and 113 RBIs. While Morris has deservedly moved up I-65 to Triple-A Nashville, the Stars may get to cheer for another north Alabama native this summer.
Left-handed prospect Jed Bradley, the 15th overall pick in the 2011 Draft, was born in Huntsville and pitched his senior year at Huntsville High before moving on to Georgia Tech. The 22-year-old Bradley is slated to return to Class A Advanced Brevard County (where he posted a 5-10 record with a 5.53 ERA in his pro debut last year), but could rejoin 2012 Manatees rotation mates Taylor Jungmann and Jimmy Nelson in Huntsville later in the season.
"He looks really confident out there," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke told MLB.com after one of Bradley's spring outings. "I think he's feeling pretty good about himself, and that's what we're after. We're working so hard to get that in these guys' heads."
Double defense: The Mobile BayBears have captured the Southern League crown the past two seasons. With several key figures from those playoff runs such as Paul Goldschmidt, Trevor Bauer, Tyler Skaggs, Adam Eaton and A.J. Pollock having moved upward and onward, the BayBears don't look like favorites for a three-peat.
Nevertheless, skipper Rico Brogna will have an intriguing roster to deal with in his return to Mobile after a two-year absence. Starter Zeke Spruill and shortstop Nick Ahmed, both former second-round selections, join the BayBears after coming over from Atlanta in the Justin Upton deal. The latter will battle for time with Chris Owings, the D-backs' No. 5 prospect, who hit .290 with 17 homers and 12 stolen bases between Class A Advanced Visalia and Mobile in 2012. Pitcher Eric Smith, who like Spruill is on the D-backs' 40-man roster, will return to Mobile to continue his transition to the bullpen.
New hands on helms: Brogna, a nine-year big-league veteran, won't be the only new face in Southern League dugouts this season. Julio Vinas takes over in Birmingham after guiding the White Sox's affiliates in Winston-Salem and Kannapolis in 2011 and '12 respectively. After managing the AZL Dodgers to a league title last year, Jody Reed is Chattanooga's new skipper, while Delino DeShields jumps to Pensacola after two years in Class A Dayton.
Huntsville's Darnell Coles, Jackson's Jim Pankovits, Jacksonville's Andy Barkett, Mississippi's Aaron Holbert, Montgomery's Billy Gardner and Buddy Bailey of Tennessee are all back with their clubs for the 2013 campaign.

Published July 2013
When I was a kid, life was simple. I didn't always see it that way, but now that I'm grown and have children of my own, I can look back and see I had it made. I grew up during a time of morals and values; when your word meant something. I grew up in a time where I had chores after school, we had dinner together and then I was free to do what I wanted. I grew up with only four or five channels on the TV. I grew up riding my bike and having to be home when the street lights came on. I grew up knowing what was expected of me and doing it. I grew up with small town roots.
Our house was just outside the city limits on a couple of acres. We had a dog, cats and horses. I had responsibilities, but I also had fun! I got to ride my bike to friend's house in town, or down our dirt road to the pit. I would catch snakes and dissect them. I rode horses, played in dirt and shot the B-B gun. I climbed fences and trees. I picked up rocks, pulled weeds and cut the grass around the fence post by hand with scissors. I fed the dog and swept out the garage. I washed dishes and took out the trash. When everything was done I would sit on the porch and watch the sun set. There was nothing blocking my view and I could watch the sun drop completely off the horizon. The best memories I have growing up didn't cost much are still available today if we would only seek them out.
As I was thinking about my childhood memories I made a list of 25 things every child should do before the age of 13. Our daughter, Skylar is 12 years old and as I was making this list she could check off just about everything I had written down. I can only hope that when she is grown and has children she will look back and be able to appreciate the little things in life as I did. Society today often contradicts my old fashion values. Society tells us we need the newest and lasted gadget, we need the 60 inch flat screen and the newest X-box video game. I had to go to my Aunt's house to play Atari and to my best friend's house to watch cable. Granted there were times I wished I had a cell phone, but the pay phone at the local convenience store worked just fine. I'm not saying the technology world today is bad, I just think we rely on its entertainment way too much. Looking back I'm so thankful there was no social media when I was in school or college. As a kid, I didn't depend on someone or something to entertain me; I went outside and explored. I wish more children today would do the same today.
The best part about the list I made is it doesn't matter what kind of car you drive, it doesn't matter the size of your home or how much money is in your bank account. Everything on the list is about what you already have and making a memory from it.
1. Make a mud pie
2. Roll down a hill
3. Swim in an ocean, lake, or river
4. Swing and touch the sky with your toes
5. Climb a tree
6. Catch a fish
7. Build a fort (inside) with blankets
and couch cushions
8. Build a snowman
9. Scrape a knee
10. Hang upside down
11. Eat dirt
12. Throw a snowball
13. Blow bubbles
14. Sell homemade lemonade or baked
goods from a stand
15. Play with a cardboard box
16. Build something from scrap wood
17. Sing out loud
18. Catch a bug in your hands
19. Build a fire; make s'mores
20. Plant something
21. Jump in a pile of leaves
22. Bury a treasure and draw a treasure map
23. Finger paint
24. Lick the beaters from cake mix
25. Drive down a country road
I hope as you read this list you, too, can smile and remember the times you did these things as well. It's doesn't matter what decade you grew up in, or are growing up in. It's what you do while growing up that matters. So this summer, make your own list, get outside and explore. You never know what you might find and what memory you will make.

Hello everyone!
Today I decided to do something ambitious and I took a look at the MS08-046 which describes the bug in Microsoft Color Management System (MSCMS)
I diffed the vulnerable and not vulnerable mscms.dll and found out that the problem lies in OpenColorProfileW function here:
[XPSP2 mscms.dll 5.1.2600.2709]
That's as far as I got. I was curious if anyone here is experienced with heap overflows as stack overflows are pretty easy to exploit comparing with the heap (without GuardStack of course). I'm familiar that the heap looks different in SP1 and SP2, so I just ask about SP2. I've read several documents about it, but it seems to me that for it to succeed very special conditions must be met.Code:.text:73B339F5 push esi ; dwBytes .text:73B339F6 mov [ebp+pdwSize], esi .text:73B339F9 call sub_73B31FB1 .text:73B339FE mov edi, eax <---- eax = heap allocated block with GlobalAlloc .text:73B33A00 test edi, edi .text:73B33A02 mov [ebp+lpString1], edi .text:73B33A05 jz short loc_73B339EE .text:73B33A07 lea eax, [ebp+pdwSize] .text:73B33A0A push eax ; pdwSize .text:73B33A0B push edi ; pBuffer .text:73B33A0C push 0 ; pMachineName .text:73B33A0E call GetColorDirectoryW .text:73B33A13 push offset asc_73B420B4 ; "\\" .text:73B33A18 push edi ; lpString1 .text:73B33A19 mov edi, ds:lstrcatW .text:73B33A1F call edi ; lstrcatW .text:73B33A21 push dword ptr [ebx+0Ch] ; lpString2 .text:73B33A24 push [ebp+lpString1] ; lpString1 .text:73B33A27 call edi ; lstrcatW <---- here the BOF takes place .text:73B33A29 push dword ptr [ebx+0Ch] ; pMem .text:73B33A2C call sub_73B31C29 .text:73B33A31 mov eax, [ebp+lpString1] .text:73B33A34 mov [ebx+0Ch], eax .text:73B33A37 mov [ebx+10h], esi .text:73B33A3A jmp loc_73B31ED0
I have also one question. It's said that 64-bit processors have this kind of heap protection that don't allow to run any code from the heap. Does it also apply if someone is using 32-bit OS?

Frustrated by the delays and conflicting information being given out by the Los Angeles Fire Department on its response times, two City Council members called Friday for the department's top brass to report directly to the City Council.
Councilmen Eric Garcetti and Mitch Englander said they want to hear directly from LAFD officials on the inability to develop immediate solutions to the department's response time issues - particularly in the more remote areas of the city, such as the Pacific Palisades and hillside areas in the San Fernando Valley.
"The department's managers are either unable or unwilling to do their job to reduce response times and make Los Angeles safer," Garcetti said. "It's outrageous, and I demand they answer publicly to the people of Los Angeles."
Garcetti said the City Council last year blocked plans to eliminate 318 firefighter positions and has added resources to the department. It also provided funding to create the FIRESTATLA program to track response times to various calls.
The department has had a series of studies and reviews over the past year, with questions raised over their accuracy on response times after it was discovered that some information generated was erroneous, making it appear fire units were responding quicker than they actually were.
The Fire Department did not return calls for comment Friday.
Pat McOsker, president of the United Firefighters of Los Angeles City, endorsed the Garcetti-Englander proposal.
"Rank and file firefighters are grateful for this motion today," McOsker said. "Union leaders have been meeting with and leaning on the department brass for months, begging that they come forward with a five-year restoration plan."
McOsker said the solution to improving response times is adding back fire companies and ambulances.
"That should be obvious," McOsker said. "We are flabbergasted by management's foot dragging and excuse making on this issue."
Aides to Garcetti said they plan to set a date for the hearing shortly after Thanksgiving.

The hemp seed oil in The Merry Hempsters Organic Hemp Lip Balm Peppermint in combination with vitamin E and rosemary extract is therapeutic for your lips. The unsaturated nature of hemp seed oil acts as a free radical scavenger while the vitamin E and rosemary extract quenches the free radicals. Together they are nature's answer to healthy soft lips. The Merry Hempsters Organic Hemp Lip Balm Peppermint has traditionally been used for treating dry, chapped lips. Frequently Asked Questions What is the shelf life of The Merry Hempsters' products? They view their line as a "live cosmetic," due the volatility of the organic hemp seed oil ingredient. They use the natural preservatives of rosemary extract and non-GMO Vitamin E to prevent the oxidation process. Each of their hemp products has a one year shelf life, with the expiration date printed on each tube of product. Do The Merry Hempsters test on animals? No way!

They use only the natural preservatives rosemary extract and non-GMO Vitamin E. What's the different between The Merry Hempsters' "vegan" vs. "organic" products?The wax. They use an unbleached, plant-based candelilla wax (derived from grass) in their vegan products and unbleached organic beeswax for the organic products. How do The Merry Hempsters flavor their lip balms?They use certified organic essential oils to flavor their balms, with the exception of the vanilla flavor, which is organic sunflower oil infused with organic vanilla bean. Hemp InformationHemp seed oil is pressed from the seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant, not to be confused with its psychoactive cousin. In fact, industrial hemp and marijuana are different species of the Cannabis sativa plant. Most countries distinguish industrial hemp from marijuana on the basis of THC (main intoxicant in marijuana) content and permit the growing of non-psychoactive low THC hemp for fiber and seed. But the US Drug Enforcement lumps low non-psychoactive THC with marijuana, making the US the only major industrialized nation prohibiting the growing and processing of hemp. So they use certified organic hemp seed oil from Canada as their base ingredient in their product line. Hemp is a sustainable and environmental super plant. Little to no pesticides or herbicides are used for growing hemp. It grows quickly, and does little damage to the ground compared to other popular crops. Hemp is nutritious for our bodies and they feel it's the healthiest oil to be absorbed into your skin.

PHOTO: TLC covers 'V' Magazine
TLC graces the cover of V Magazine sporting their signature style and tell-it-like-it-is attitudes. And we just love that these ladies are back. Of course this comes on the heels of the VH1 original movie CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story and an accompanying greatest hits collection, 20, which delivered a new single, "Meant To Be." Written by Ne-Yo, the song, according to Thomas, "sums up the whole 20 years of the relationship between the three of us and the ongoing relationship between T-Boz and myself."
T-Boz and Chilli revealed some behind the scenes juiciness about filming CrazySexyCool the TLC biopic on VH1. While pulling costumes was a somewhat seamless process, when it came to the fittings, not all the actresses in the film were created equal, according to T-Boz. "Lil Mama wore Lisa's [costumes], because she was that size, but the other two are more top heavy, because, you know, we're the tittiless crew, T-L-C, Titty-Less Crew, so those outfits had to be re-created."
But when it comes to abs, don't expect to see Chilli covering up hers any time soon. "I'm going to be 85 years old, still with a six pack," she says. "I'm not playing. I'm going to have these abs until I go home to Jesus." Amen to that sister!
And no matter how much time passes, the duo will always aim to empower women with their songs. "I don't think you can ever have enough records about self-esteem and loving yourself and not taking no crap, especially females," says Chilli. "That girl-power thing is just missing [in music] right now. And it's not like we're in the studio trying to make songs like this—we're naturally like that, so it naturally comes. We're still being who we are. And be saying that, it's going to help a lot of people. And that's all we care about. We want jams to make you jam but at the same time make you think."

all that i have to say is that it is clean and quiet in the fall, winter and spring...

all that i have to say is that it is clean and quiet in the fall, winter and spring...
Yep, only city people cause problems in beach towns. Every tourist that comes from a small town treats the beach with respect. Give me a break...there are loud, littering jerks from cities, small towns, and beach towns. True - more from cities. Look, I live in NYC, I grew up in OC, MD (not visiting for the summer, actually living there year round - parents are still there). I've seen both sides of the spectrum.
I really think that when the majority of people go on vacation, they treat the people and places they visit with respect. You have a small minority that screws it up for everyone else and causes issues like these.
I make it a point to confront litterbugs if I catch them in the act. One day I will confront the wrong person... but it hasn't happened yet.
I have confronted people about littering as well, and it usually has no effect whatsoever. Quick story: This guy comes out of the drug store with a toy for his kid and proceeds to open the toy and throw all the packaging on the ground. There are probably 5 trash cans within 50 feet of this scumbag. So I say, "What, you don't use trash cans where you're from? You're setting a great example for your kid." He glares at me, gets in his car, and drives away.
Some people just don't care. Smokers are the best - just throwing cigarette butts on the ground. What do they think happens to those? The cigarette butt fairy comes and cleans them up? Enjoy your lung cancer.
When I lived on Maui, it always seemed to be the locals who trashed the beach. Heaven forbid they'd have a beach party, the next morning, the beach would look like a bomb had exploded in a frat house, so anyone pulling the locals take care of the beach and the 'tourons' trash it is really take break from reality.
Definately not people from Nags Head, Us Nc people don't go to NJ. And probably not people from VB because they all flood the OBX when there is surf.

"Earnhardt" may have been a bigger name at the Bronson Speedway on June 30 but Tabaco Free Florida made a name for itself as well.
Aided by members of Levy County's Students Working Against Tabacco (SWAT) club, representatives from Tabacco Free Florida helped spread the word for tabacco prevention and ways to quit using. They were further helped by Jeffery Earnhardt, grandson of Hall of Fame NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt, who was racing at the speedway as part of a state-wide tour with his partner, Tabacco Free Florida.

Orb wins Kentucky Derby
Orb won the 139th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on Saturday.
Orb entered the race as a co-favorite at 6-1 odds.
Golden Soul finished second while Revolutionary, the other co-favorite, was third.
Orb was trained by Hall of Famer Shug McGaughey, who earned his first Derby win. The jockey was Joel Rosario.
The purse was $2,199,800, with $1,439,800 to the winner. Orb paid $12.80 to win.
The condition of the track was steadily downgraded to sloppy. Heavy rollers went over the dirt surface to pack the top layer and prevent water from seeping into the base, but it still resembled creamy peanut butter.
A track spokesman said a quarter of inch had fallen by mid-afternoon, though it had stopped by the time the race started.
Fans huddled under covered sections of the grandstand and donned plastic ponchos over suits and dresses. Umbrellas were banned because of safety concerns.

GSA Administrator Perry to Leave GSA
October 3, 2005
Contact: Mary Alice Johnson (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC – After serving more than four years as the Administrator of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Stephen A. Perry announced his plan to leave that position effective October 31, 2005. Perry was appointed to this position by President Bush and confirmed by the U.S. Senate on May 31, 2001. He is one of the longest serving Administrators of GSA in recent history.
In commenting on his service as GSA Administrator Perry said, "It has truly been an honor for me to serve in this important position and to be part of the Bush Administration. I have really enjoyed working with so many highly dedicated public officials and others in Washington, DC and throughout our country." He also noted that, "I am very proud of the outstanding team we have at GSA and the great progress they have achieved toward being a high-performing, continuously improving and results-oriented agency. Because the GSA team is so committed, capable and focused on providing excellent service for the American people, I have every confidence that progress will continue.
Perry is widely credited with leading the successful implementation of a rigorous Performance Management Process at GSA which has been the key to achieving results in keeping with the goals of President Bush's Management Agenda. Through this process, GSA has established clear, customer-focused, measurable goals and detailed action plans for all areas. Teams conduct regular reviews to assure that desired results are being achieved and to facilitate associate recognition and accountability.
During his tenure, Perry led an aggressive effort to institute a number of performance-improving changes to enhance GSA's organizational capability to provide outstanding service in meeting the office space and acquisition requirements of Federal agencies. That included the "One GSA" initiative to foster greater collaboration and consistency among GSA divisions and the "Get it Right" initiative to achieve excellence in Federal acquisitions. The effort to enhance GSA's organizational capability to meet the increasing needs of Federal agencies also included major organizational design changes implemented in the Public Building Service (PBS) National and Regional offices; and the organizational design changes currently being implemented to combine the Federal Technology Service (FTS) and Federal Supply Service (FSS) into the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS).
These important performance improvement initiatives have been carried out with an unprecedented level of engagement with customer agencies, industry contractors, Congressional oversight committees and the entire GSA team. This approach has enhanced GSA's relationship with key stakeholders and contributed to the success and long-term sustainability of each initiative.
Perry pointed out that, "It is important to note that during these times of challenge and change, many of GSA's customers satisfaction ratings have reached record high levels; industry, Congress and other stakeholders are supportive; and GSA associates have continued to rate GSA as one of the 'Top 10 Best Places to Work in Government' each time the biannual survey has been taken in the past four years. This means we are moving in the right direction and have established a great foundation upon which to address the opportunities and challenges we face and to create a very successful future at GSA.
Administrator Perry has not indicated what his future plans hold except to say that he and his wife, Sondra, plan to return to their hometown of Canton, Ohio.
GSA is a centralized, federal procurement, property management, policy development and information provision agency, created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. In this role, GSA acquires products and services on behalf of federal agencies; plays a key role in developing and implementing governmentwide policies; provides services and solutions for the office operations of more than one million federal workers; and encourages a citizen-centric relationship with government by providing a single "point of entry" to the information and services citizens need in a timeframe they can appreciate. This allows citizens to receive accurate, timely and consistent answers and information, and helps federal agencies better respond to citizen inquiries.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Ride Reports - Epic Rides' started by AntiHero, Jul 13, 2012.
Should work now.
OK ive been lurking for quite some time reading this thread and wondering when I would chime in. That video pushed me over the edge.
In 2000 I bought a Duc 996 Mono with Ohlins and the 5 spoke wheels. It was my dream bike. My dad had died the year before after a very short bout with cancer. His life was one of mostly work and his chair in front of the TV when he got home. Later on when I was older I dragged him off the couch and we scuba dove together and played golf... He finally came out of his self imposed day to day hell. I realized his coping skill for dreams unrealized was mind numbing tactics like drink, food and tv. Fortunately I helped him break out.
His life and then sudden death had me want to taste life from a fire hose. I bought the Ducati and a set of leathers At 38 I wanted to do something I had dreamed about doing since I was a kid. Take to the track and drag my knee around a corner. It was NHIS and BCM track days and Tonys Track days that year. Like heroin of motorcycling, was the Duc on the track. I couldn't wait to get back out there.
That time led to signing up for club racing. What do you know I was pretty good at it. I even got a second place at the Daytona national in 2003 and won a bunch of amatuer races at NHIS including one in the rain where I was dragging my knee through the puddles. Ah what fun! The best part was all the like minded people I had met. The parties that would start up when the racing ended where as much fun as the racing...
Yes that Ducati at full song triggered some strong memories. Good ones that I will hold onto.
Regarding touring on a bike not meant for it-
In 2008 after a breakup with a woman that you don't forget easily I found myself in a bit of tail spin. I had to work at Lincoln Memorial University in the north eastern section of Tennessee. I looked at the map and saw it was not far from Knoxville. Which is not far from the famous Deals Gap Tail of the Dragon. I asked the owner of the company if I could put in for mileage rather than fly down and rent a car for a week. As a rider himself he understood and approved the idea. I shipped my work clothes and laptop to the hotel near the college and then with only a small tail pack I suited up in my two piece leathers and rode my Buell XB12R down to Deals Gap via the Blue Ridge. It was an epic ride as the mid July temps were perfect and not a bit of rain during the whole time down there. These little twists of fate kept happening where I led met a bunch of cool people with dinner rides and drinks on porches and stories being told.
The ride home was like the horse to the barn. Two days of slab riding on the Buell was no fun but the awesome memories made it passable. I put on 2500 miles on the Buell Firebolt that week. What an awesome adventure.
Tom - Sorry to hear about your father. I think we need a writeup on your 'business' trip!
Holy crap! You sure that was a racetrack? Grab your leathers and head to Barber.
Yeah, BW kind of sucks. In a car it's not too bad, but there were a couple sections of extremely rough pavement just post apex that you had to watch out for. Barber looks better in your video than it did in person. Great to see you tearing it up on the 675. You make me miss mine even more.
Tom, I'm glad that vid changed your lurker status. Thanks for sharing your story. Sorry about your dad as well. Motorcycles are the best therapy (for all tragedies it seems)--and it seems like you have a diverse enough of a collection to deal with anything that comes (or gets in) your way!
Even the thought of the track used to really bother me because I was incapable of doing something I loved so much. Though I'm still not ready for the g-forces of my S2000 again, I'm overwhelmingly pleased--even shocked--that I can handle the forces of the bike (turmeric and ginger pills to the rescue!).
Love the BW video- maybe the rough track, but it has the quality of a WWII dogfight film. That Bitch/Goddess we call the GoPro camera has granted us stunning HD quality, but forces us to endure endless hours of mind-numbingly boring rides. It's refreshing to find the rare vid that makes you hold on to the edge of the desk and lean through the turns...
Then again, maybe after following this RR so long, I'm just preloaded to live vicariously through AntiHero- Gonna find myself in a ditch beside the NJ turnpike if I'm not careful!
Looks like there has been too much frameless red sexiness for photobucket. Oh well, they'll get over it. Cheers, and by the way, Dolin dry plays well with an unusually cucumbery gin. Superlative RR!
What good is 29.99 per year with unlimited bandwidth on photobucket if they still cut a paying bastard off? Tomorrow's the first., pics will be up again.
CJ...Oakland....CJ Yothxx???
Not me, I came here from the BARF. Sadly, if any "service provider" uses the word "unlimited" in accordance with it's accepted definition, let me know so I can sign up.
The 1st and still no dice on the pics. Anyhow, incredible RR. Thank you very much for the time and the effort that was put into this. It was inspiring personally for a connection I may not even be fully aware of yet. Thanks.
As for photobucket...check this link...
I saw the photo early this AM. I thought I could hear the tell tale signature of knee puck on the ground in your video. NICE! Glad you're back to high-g sports. That feeling is so much fun.
Something about that feeling relates to snowboarding and high G turns and your fingers brushing the snow or surfing. Ah good clean fun!
Thanks for the comments. Yes I have a quiver full of arrows in the garage. Google - Why motorcycles are better than women...
From Photobucket:
We are currently experiencing technical issues with one of our servers.
This is resulting in "Bandwidth Exceeded" message for a portion of our Plus users, or those going Plus. Instead of the unlimited bandwidth that Plus users are supposed to have, Plus users are finding that they continue to see the "Bandwidth Exceeded" image served in place of their actual linked out image.
To those affected, we sincerely apologize. We appreciate your patience and don't want you to feel...bamboozled. We are working on this issue right now.
We'll update this article as soon as this issue has been resolved. To those who wrote in to our help desk, we will respond to your tickets as soon as your accounts are functioning properly.
Again, we know how frustrating this can be and apologize for the inconvenience.
Glad I went back and looked, that must have been a great car show. That Black Lamborghini looks like a stealth fighter. Love the Cobra, and there are a few cars that I have never seen before.
Looking good on the track D, so what kind of speeds were you hitting?
Damn, AH!!! What kind of track day were you running? There was a serious disparity among the skill set, closing speed, riding abilities and track experience of the riders on the course at the same time. Never seen a facility that allowed novice and advanced riders--with unrestricted passing rules--on the track at the same time. Kind'a reminded me of rush hour traffic in Cincinnati...
DC: 140 on the front straight (indicated). Only for a second before nailing the brakes.
Badjuju: Errr....well, ok, so I was passing on the inside and outside, but only because passing on the outside only was impossible unless I went into the dirt. Slower riders should have been staying off line, but when they were on the line what do you do? I expected to get chastised by the organizers (or get a B sticker), but the instructors on the track themselves would point me around riders and give me the 'go' signals. (I wasn't the only one passing on either side.) In person it didn't seem so extreme, but the video makes the speed differentials seem a little absurd and dangerous. In my defense, though, it still was my first track experience on a bike, but in hindsight I should have gone up a level.
AH: I wasn't really chastising you so much as I was surprised that the facility and the group leaders didn't control the speed differentials and passing lines more rigidly. It actually looked like you had a blast.
Hey, you can't help it that the Pani is so f'n fast...
Took no offense. I probably deserve a little chastising. Especially for some of the passes I didn't include in the vid. But no one complained. All the passes were safe with plenty of room.
A little pre-track background. My ex bought me a custom full suit a couple years ago. I wore it once or twice. Heroic...hmmm...I don't want to slam 'em, because I think they have a good design, but let's just say they have had some teething issues and some major QC issues, too. Like I ordered Kang, but got Cow. They made good on the mistake, though. Forgivable. The short sleeves, though....that's ridiculous. Just look at how short those sleeves are! Ok, fine, whatever, I'm wearing gloves most the time with the suit.
Then on the way from LA to BW it got COLD. Really cold. then I looked down and the zippers had split. Jesus Christ.
Rode the rest of the way to Buttonwillow freezing my ass off. Then spent three hours on a craptacularly bad internet connection googling 'how to fix a broken zipper'. I ended up mending it, just barely, but was stressing quite a bit thinking what the hell I'd do at the track if it split open again.
Have a new long-distance setup, too. Michael at Britkit (exclusive US distributor of Kriega luggage & packs) sent me out an R30 backpack just because he's a super cool dude and loved that I was living out of the Kriega US 20 for the entire trip. He also couldn't stand that I was using an inferior backpack that was about as waterproof as my jeans. So when I got to my 'permanent' home, this bad boy was waiting.
Only problem was I was in NorCal with killer new waterproof/bombproof backpack and my bike was in SoCal. The separation didn't last very long. The neoprene helmet cover Michael sent made flying on Southwest with my new Shoei (finally ditched the Bell) a pleasant and professional experience. And it kind of made me feel like I was carrying Darth Vader's head through security.
The backpack has a pretty slick harness system that snaps in quite positively--and takes a lot of the weight off of your shoulders:
The straps are made from a firm, comfortable padding, the added reflectors increase visibility and probably the best thing is that there aren't a bunch of straps that flap and slap around when you're doing 90.
Here's the US20 (Doc Martin's inside) and R30 Pack (that's my Revit Jacket and some other shit stuffed into there) mounted and ready for battle in LA traffic. (Note the way the backpack rests on the tail bag--means that the bike is carrying the load, not your upper body.)
I can't say enough great things about Kriega gear. Clearly these guys get it--they live and breathe motorcycles and travel gear. You can see it in every latch, zipper (ahem, Heroic!), strap and seam. And the fact that they sent me a few hundred dollars worth of gear goes to show ya that these guys are simply cool motherfuckers, too. They ain't in the business just to make a buck. They make products that have to be completely dependable, reliable, impervious and versatile.

Are they comparing OSs or phones - eg - iPhones against all Android phones or the iPhone 4 Vs the Samsung Droid?
Moderator notice: The negativity and off-topic postings in news articles, particularly this one, stops now.
Pointing out grammatical errors, either as a postscript in your on-topic post, or via PM to the article's author, is acceptable. Blasting each other about it is not. I've merely cleaned this thread accordingly. Next time, the moderation staff may not be so kind.
This is everyone's only warning.
All Droid phones, and in some stores the iphone was the top seller while in other stores it wasnt. Its all there in the article. <snip>
Was there any doubt that the iPhone would be the top dog?
Thanks Mr. Tucker i enjoy reading all of your articles even if there are spelling or grammar errors. I mean really who cares? Are you paying Josh Tucker to write these articles? And if it bothers you that much that there is a spelling error, maybe you could write a better article? I don't get why people always have to comment on spelling errors as if nobody has ever fat-fingered the keyboard before.
no **** they're the only companies offering iphones. woww

As of now though, for it to really be worth using you'd have to drop 2 glyphs that are better as a whole for 2 mainly just useful for that, and completely lock yourself into a rotation that may not even the best for the situation, for the talent to be used to it's full potential.
I've been messing with different glyphs a lot. I really loved the Blooming glyph in 5s/challenge modes/so on but when raiding it's just not as exciting because there is just too much other things to do than worry about adding 3 more LBs. If it blooms at a good time though, it leads to an insane amount of free healing.
LB is obviously pretty standard for a lot of fights.
WG, I'm going to try and find some math on. Before it was based on the amount of people you normally heal(much better for 25s than 10s). Since I was more focused/cared about being set up for challenge modes I don't use this one. I assume for 25s it's still the best.
RG I don't use, but I will be using this week. It will probably become a mandatory when looking at numbers from the 3 direct heals. I normally have enough RJs out that I don't need the hot to SM off of.
RJ is pointless. So for 10s, I'd probably do LB, RG, and RB or blooming. 25s, LB, RG, and WG.
The main change I'm seeing from when I did this to now would be like you said, the values of RG, HT, RJ, and nourish.
From the beginning I agreed nourish was basically not worth casting and the numbers show it's pretty accurate. I thought HT was going to be a lot closer to RG in efficiency and throughput in general. Now, RG far outweighs the other direct heals to the point where it may even be worth using with NS(which I didn't support at all in the beginning).
Nourish, even with the buff from a hot, has way too little hpm to be worth casting. Before it was just weak but didn't cast anything so could spam all day. Not the case anymore. Even when there isn't anything to do, it's better to wait until RG or HT wont go to overheal on someone like a tank or just wait to RJ/WG. Inching towards 100% with nourish just isn't efficient right now.
RJ I still think has it's place when WG isn't enough(possible RJ filling will be the cool thing to do again, not there yet with gear though).
The range on WG seems high enough now that it's almost impossible to not hit 6 targets in a 10 man. I am using WG glyph now that I've dropped SotF for ToL.
does anyone ever have time to use mushrooms in 25 man?
id like to include mushrooms in my healing but i never find the time
Mushrooms aren't worth using right now. You can pre-shroom before the fight so you get all of their healing in one GCD, but if you're using four GCDs for shrooms it's not going to be very efficient from a HPS perspective.
(mushrooms) ->Actually i do as i learn the fights more and trying to keep my mana without overbuffing spirit stat. Its not bad if you rotate cds (25man) with others as backup (elegon's explosions) combined with sotf+wild growth+sotf is a nice burst esp if you can time it very well. Today i was trying to change my healing abit and notice that in order to increase my hps this happend by using more rejuvs instead of direct healing, like we did in the past . Ofc in order to sustain this you need better gear than mine (466 currently) and perhaps stack spirit . 6% more intellect from talent also helps as it seems . So the old advice keep 3 lb on tanks (or rotate around ) and 3 to 4 rejuv in raids seems to be better than casting regrowth in low health targets (even if you have glyphed for 100% crit effect). Will need more testing though. I might switch to incarnation after playing with sotf since it came out. I am keen to see if it actually makes a difference since the sotf healing style is not that much dynamic and needs to know the fight well and have a well discipline raid who is not running around like headless chickens

I've reforged and regemmed to SotF cap after we started getting closer to the kill. On 8+ min attempts I was around 2k less hps than without SotF cap. All other things were unchanged (rotation, talents, healing targets, priorities on my raid role, etc). My swiftmend and shroom numbers went lower and I suspect that was the main reason behind drop in hps.
There are 2 public resto druid heroic Will of the Emperor logs up at the moment.
1: http://worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-lo...=11521&e=12246
2: http://worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-hw.../?s=702&e=1444
You can see 2 totally different playstyles. Mine shrooms on cd with intellect gemming, SotF SM+WG and HotW. And Mjay's heavy rejuv with a lot of spirit, ToL and NV. He's done 3 million more healing than me while his raid recieved 23 millions more damage and they had 5 healers vs our's 6. I've also done 4.4 mil damage compared to his 300k. At the moment of kills I was using 471 ilvl gear set, while he was roughly 479 judging by the items he aquired recently. Sadly, our first kill is private and my tactic clearly outperformed his on that one.
I'm questioning the statements about SotF and shrooms being bad right now ;p At least on stand-still-and-heal fights with intensive raid damage both of them are very viable. I would need more testing for Rejuv-centric builds when I get more gear, but I suspect SotF-Int-wg-sm scale better than ToL-Spi-rejuv due to the spellpower coefficients being way higher on SM and WG and Spirit not providing as many additional Rejuvs as people think it does.

The "problem" with SotF for me is that I can maximize its potential only when I have the luxury of playing the role most suited for a resto druid: raid support. From a 10 man perspective, this almost never happens. I'm tank / spot healing just as much as the other guy so I can't really guarantee using the GCD after a SM for a WG. No idea how it is in 25 man, but maybe this is an issue when you drop a healer?
SotF is the talent I badly want but can't have. Congratulations on your kill BTW Nice to see that druids are viable even in 25 man as opposed to all the reports I've been hearing.
Shrooms for example, the only 25 ive done is lfr, but even in that scenario, the healing they do is actually fairly impressive - with so many targets it wasn't unheard of for me to get 10-15% of my healing done from shrooms in 25 lfr. But in a 10 man, the time required vs. healing gain is much less favorable. Sure there are niche moments here and there were you can squeeze them in, but most of the time its just not worth the effort for so little healing.
SoTF, in a 25 man, you're likely full time on raid duty with the exception of LB maintenance. To get the most out of SoTF it does lock you into that SM->WG rotation that just isn't always advantageous in a 10 man, where as in a 25 you're almost always likely to have 6 targets that'll get a good chunk of healing from it.
As with all things - they aren't bad, they are situational. Its all about using what works for you, in your specific circumstances.
As for sotf, again:
It's not a bad talent, but it's not as good as tree. Even in perfect, 100% perfect scenarios, it barely outdoes tree in possible effective throughput but has to much streamlining of spells to make it pass it.
- Both in 10 and 25 you'll be WGing on CD and SMing on CD. So trying to say 'it's better for 25s' doesn't work....at all. In 10s it will still almost always hit max people unless you place it badly.(Wg a random person in the corner).
- The SM + WG CDs are clunky. They don't fit together. So actually using it to it's full potential you won't be using both on CD as you should and it puts you into a hole of either changing the way you heal to fit soul or wasting the talent often.
- Even in a perfect situation which would literally never happen, it barely does more than tree while cutting out any and all flexibility you had in a raid.
For it to be better than tree it needs to not have the ridiculous restrictions it has. To maximize it's potential you'd need to be glyphing to HT and using it, which would most likely end up in a throughput loss.
Unless you are seriously just blanketing, which no one should be at this point, number wise, flexibility wise, and overall usefulness is just not as good as tree.
As everyone says constantly, shrooms are fine if you have nothing else to cast on certain fights. They are not worth 3 gcds for the tiny amount of healing they do, and you definitely should not be using them rotationally. In those 3 gcds you could have cast multiple other types of spells. Showing logs where they are fight for you proves nothing. Showing logs where when you didn't use them as much you didn't do as much healing also proves nothing. Having all the top druids and theorycrafters saying 'shit, these suck' does.
Between LB, SM on CD, WG on CD, something on CC, something with NS, tranq, Tree, Vigil(or heart), (even if you space them out) throwing 3 RJs out in that amount of time will lead to more healing. As with all aoes, there is the 6 person soft cap, and the healing is just...way too low. If you are between phases, everyone is 100% or high enough health in general, and you're just sitting refreshing LB it's a great place to use them. Shrooms have their place as always, but other spells are worth your gcd time if people actually need healing.
How I use shrooms is if there isn't anything to cast or whatever heal I'm about to heal will probably be mostly overheal(slow times) I'll throw a shroom. Once I have 3 and there is spike dmg I use it. It doesn't make a dent in their health but for no gcd no point not using it. I absolutely never put a shroom down when something else can be cast, it's not worth it.
Maximizing effective throughput is good, but raid stability and preventing deaths is more important. When people are low and you have a mass AoE like that it's going to give you throughput, but not useful throughput. The tiny amount of healing they do to everyone isn't really that helpful compared to...pretty much anything else you can cast. Since it has no gcd when you already have 3 it's obviously good to use, but not worth not casting other spells for(aka, putting it in your rotation, or not casting something like a RJ) and really....really should not be used during a important phase/time(putting them down), only in between when you have nothing else to do.

1. I don't know who that was directed to, probably not me, so will just skip it. Never touched 10m in my posts as I don't raid it.
2. SM + WG are not clunky. Just because you say so, it doesn't make them clunky (oddly enough). They do fit together pretty nice. I suspect you don't know about PvP set existence judging by your ignorance about clunkyness. SM has 13 sec cd, after you use WG, it already has ~11.6-11.7 left on it. Next time you use SM, you only wait a split second before using WG.
3. P3 Elegon, WotE, Garajal, Stone Guard. Have you even played this tier at all?
You don't NEED to use HT glyph. That's a ridiculous thing to say. It provides so little for SotF, it's not even funny. It also makes almost all your clearcast procs wasted due to going overhealing because of slow cast time. Sure, it's a slight HPS increase if you don't need utility glyph like 30 yard roar or 100% rebirth, but saying 'required' is kinda strange, to say the least. I'm not surprised here again, because you've probably never even played SotF.
I'm 7th resto druid in the world to kill Will of the Emperor heroic. Does that count as top druid or my name has to be 'Owld' or 'Emmab'? Then please link me posts of Owld, Emmab, Legaccy, Viveca, Медсс or Lunayunaa saying that shrooms are shit and suck. I think I missed those somewhere in between strong theorycrafters' and lfr heroes' posts.
That might be something new to you, but maximizing throughput usually leads to less deaths due to people being higher health in general. That's how people heal on cutting edge progress. You try to keep everyone as high hp as possible to prevent random spikes gibbing people. If I do more hps with shrooms, I will use them. Not instead of clutch NS+HT/RG of course and not in front of spells I know are stronger (sm, wg, lb), but I will use them rotationally. That's what every proper druid would do. I have serious doubts about you being one after this post, and arrogance comming from it with literally nothing to back it up just makes it worse.Maximizing effective throughput is good, but raid stability and preventing deaths is more important. When people are low and you have a mass AoE like that it's going to give you throughput, but not useful throughput. The tiny amount of healing they do to everyone isn't really that helpful compared to...pretty much anything else you can cast. Since it has no gcd when you already have 3 it's obviously good to use, but not worth not casting other spells for(aka, putting it in your rotation, or not casting something like a RJ) and really....really should not be used during a important phase/time(putting them down), only in between when you have nothing else to do.
Some numbers again:
shrooms on my kill had 16.7 HPM and 34k healing per global.
rejuv 13.4 HPM and 129k healing per cast.
If you still think you would go for stronger and less effective heal with your gear, good luck with that. Hope you can last for more than 6 mins with that playstyle. I'm going with more mana efficient heals whenever it's appropriate.

You're so ragey that I don't agree with you you are taking anything I say and turning it around to fit you. Not even worth arguing with.
Theorycrafters are those guys that do top end content and actually know the math behind their numbers. Anyone who tries and knock theorycrafters are people who think different based off their own failed theories in their raids that disagree what everyone else says, so they knock them.
Play the way you want and fuck everyone that disagrees is a really poor way to play. Pretending that the way you do things is the best way for every raid to do things also shows you must be very new to top end raiding. Top end raiding means you play with a group of people who play as close to perfectly as possible. Everything changes when you play like this. Every single tier I've written this guide I've had to completely change how I wrote it because the way I did things was completely different to how normal progression players should be playing.
No normal progression druid is going to see good numbers with shrooms. No normal progression druid should be seeing better numbers with Soul than Tree. It's fairly obvious you are so obsessed with your own progression that you can't see outside your little walls. Been there, got over it years ago.

Right-wing media's latest smear: Stupak bribed with airport funds
Research ››› ››› DIANNA PARKER
Right-wing media seized on Rep. Bart Stupak's (D-MI) recent announcement that three airports in his district received federal grant money in order to baselessly claim the Obama administration bribed him for his vote on health care reform. In fact, there is absolutely no evidence that the airport funds are related to Stupak's vote, and indeed, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded grants in 47 states -- including one in Minority Leader John Boehner's district -- as part of a decades-old airport improvement program.
FAA grants were awarded in nearly every state
Stupak: "[T]hree airports in northern Michigan have received grants totaling $726,409." On March 19, Stupak's office issued a press release announcing that "three airports in northern Michigan have received grants totaling $726,409 for airport maintenance and improvements." The press release states that airports in Alpena, Delta, and Chippewa counties all received funds.
FAA approved grants in 47 states -- not just Stupak's district. FAA issued the grants as a part of its Airport Improvement Program (AIP). For fiscal year 2010, FAA approved grants in 47 states and in the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and Guam.
Airport Improvement Program has existed since the early 1980s. According to FAA, the AIP was established in 1982. The program "provides grants to public agencies -- and, in some cases, to private owners and entities -- for the planning and development of public-use airports that are included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS)." The NPIAS "identifies public-use airports that are important to public transportation and contribute to the needs of civil aviation, national defense, and the Postal service."
Districts of Republican congressmen also awarded grants
Airport in Boehner's district awarded funds. FAA awarded an airport in Darke County, Ohio -- which is in Boehner's district -- with $108,738 to rehabilitate a runway.
Airport in Pence's district awarded funds. FAA awarded an airport in Anderson, Indiana -- which is in Rep. Mike Pence's district -- with $75,000 for airport improvements.
11 airports in Young's district awarded funds. FAA awarded funding to 11 airports in Alaska -- all of which are represented by Rep. Don Young. In total, airports in Alaska have received more than $56 million in FAA grants.
Airport in King's district awarded funds. FAA awarded $394,969 to an airport in Sioux City, Iowa -- which is located in Rep. Steve King's district.
Airport in Kingston's district awarded funds. FAA awarded $2.7 million to an airport in Brunswick, Georgia -- which is in Rep. Jack Kingston's district.
Airport in Bachmann's district awarded funds. FAA awarded $75,000 to an airport in Paynesville, Minnesota -- which appears to be in Rep. Michele Bachmann's district.
Conservative media accuse administration of bribing Stupak for health care vote
McCaughey: Grants "may have had something to do with his decision." Citing Stupak's press release, Betsy McCaughey said on Fox News' Hannity: "It may be that Bart Stupak was not bamboozled by the executive order. It's clear that executive orders cannot change the law. But on Friday, Stupak announced over $700,000 in brand new federal funding for three small airports in his district. Now, that may be coincidence, but it seems to me as if it may have had something to do with his decision," adding that "they're buying votes for their bill with our money." Host Sean Hannity replied, "Airport kickback?" [Hannity, 3/22/10]
Big Journalism: Stupak is a "cheap date." On BigGovernment.com, Izzy Lyman wrote: "Holy Mackinac Bridge, Batman. The blogosphere is calling Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) a 'cheap date.' ... Considering what it took to get him to vote for the U.S. Senate health care bill, that's a fitting way to describe Slick Stupak. According to Stupak, he struck a deal with President Obama, trading his 'yes' vote for a 'worthless, non-binding' executive order prohibiting federal funding for abortions. And perhaps an airport or three."
Instapundit: "A STUPAK PAYOFF?" On the blog Instapundit, Glenn Reynolds wrote: "A STUPAK PAYOFF? 'U.S. Congressman Bart Stupak (D-Menominee) announced three airports in northern Michigan have received grants totaling $726,409 for airport maintenance and improvements. The funding was provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration.' Probably just a coincidence."
Sweetness & Light: "[W]e like to think that our politicians aren't being bought and sold at such low prices." On the conservative blog Sweetness & Light, Steve Gilbert quoted from Stupak's press release and wrote: "It's just a coincidence, no doubt. And there is surely a lot more to come. At least we like to think that our politicians aren't being bought and sold at such low prices."
Right-wing media repeatedly smear Democrats with allegations of "special deals" in health bill
Right-wing media have repeatedly attacked health care reform and smeared Democrats with baseless allegations that the Obama administration has attempted to buy votes or has cut "special deals" or "bribes" for health care reform.
