"So far, my perspective is that paladins and DKs are brokenly good and druids need a little work. "
As one who currently tanks with all tank classes, I couldn't agree more. I used to enjoy the fact that warrior tanking was somewhat of the underdog in Wrath, and less faceroll than for example paladin. Dks had their problems too what with runes being rather unforgiving and druids... well they're always behind. But in Cataclysm, warriors are just lacking too much - we have no threat cooldown, no aoe threat (not when compared to paladins and dks), no ranged threat, and no utility skills (I hardly count Vigilance). Druids have the same problems basically. Tanking on my paladin and dk is yawningly simple, not to mention I hardly need a healer for most heroic bosses. In contrast everything seems to be a struggle with my warrior, and the slightest misspull turns into a catastrophe, this even though I've warrior tanked since early BC.
Sorry, I'm nerdraging off topic here. But right now I wouldn't recommend anyone to start tanking with a warrior.
I've walked from warrior tanking because of the endless changes made to it just because some warrior facerolled a mage in AV a few times, or even worse in arena. I might come back if Bliz stops trying to balance its favorite son PVP arena on the backs of the PvE.
One thing the tank can suggest to the CCers is to time their sheep or whatever so that the mobs CCed will be as far from the rest of the pack being DPSed. Nothing is worse than having them wait till the whole pack is almost on top of the group to pop off the CCs and it takes shockwave and thunderclap away from you until you can manuver the pack to a safe distance. Too many CCers can't judge the max distance of their spell or even how long it takes to go off. At least with rogues if they mess up they will pay personally for their mistake.
Learn to tank as a Warrior or Druid and you'll know what it is to feel a lot of painful wipes. The thing is, learning to do so with the 'hard' class means you'll be able to not only do the other faceroll-easy classes with no problem, but you'll have more awareness, more sense of proper CD usage, and a better understanding of how to keep mobs in line.
As for warriors not having AoE, we are lacking, but, we can spec and glyph to do such things as make our charge stun additional targets, to make revenge and devastate hit additional targets, the Blood and Thunder talent is great for squeezing out additional threat. We have an AoE taunt; albeit on a 'long' CD. We can use cleave, we can use heroic leap, we have the ability to taunt when ever someone gets hit (Yes, I liked the old vigilance better, but the new one is still a great too). We also have an AoE stun (fear if unglyphed, but any PvE tank would glyph their Intimidating Shout).
We have more mobility than any other class right now with charge, Intervene, heroic leap, stance-dancing gives us Intercept, and if playing a goblin you also get your rocket jump.
We can get around better than any class, especially after the 'Great Druid Nerf' a while back. This makes up for a 'lack of AoE threat' since we can get to any enemy or party member with an issue.
Warrior tanking isn't the easiest, but don't undermine it.
I would agree, warrior tanking is a bit lacking at the moment. Warriors can get the job done, no question about that, but you have to work a *lot* harder with a warrior than a paladin.
Even the initial pull is so much simpler on the pally. On the warrior, the initial pull on a heroics boss is along the lines popping shield block while charging in, and hoping your shield slam lands, and if it doesn't watch the mob go flying off toward some dps that actually did hit it. With the pally, you simply divine plea for 3 HP, pop wings, toss your shield and a judgement while running in, and then probably land a 3hp shield of the righteous crit for 25k+. Even if your SotR misses, though, you didn't need any expertise to land the flying shield and judgment.
AoE tanking, on the warrior you have Thunderclap on a 6-sec cooldown, and it hits like a wet noodle, and Shockwave, which does some damage, on a 20-sec cooldown. So off the start of the pull, if dps gives you a bit, you can get the mobs gathered up. Pallies, however, have Hammer of the Righteous on a 4.5 sec CD, which hits a *lot* harder than Thunderclap. Plus, since AoE pulls usually aren't more than 4 mobs at a time, you have your Avenger's Shield hitting 3 of them for huge damage every 8 seconds or so due to cooldown resets.
Also, if I try to kill some random quest mob in as prot on my warrior, it is unbelievable how long it takes compared to the prot paladin.
I do like warrior tanking, but if I'm feeling lazy I will always run the paladin.
It is common to interpret "A is worse than B" as meaning the same as "A sucks". This is not what I mean. There are alot of things about warrior that are good, and I've stuck with the class for 3 expansions for a reason. I am talking about comparison - in terms of simplicity and the feel that you have the tools that will do the work, warriors don't come close to paladins right now. That doesn't mean that warriors suck, just that the tank classes are quite unfairly designed with most of the juicy stuff over in the paladin corner. Like I said, I used to enjoy the fact that warrior tanking was slightly trickier, because the paladin simplicity was boring. With skills you could still pull off some nice tricks, which I felt lacked with paladin tanking. Either way you rolled your face was basically a win as a paladin (and still is). Right now however, I feel like not only do I have to struggle 10 times harder as a warrior, it just doesn't pay off enough to be worth it.
Nollind Whachell said...
Agree with Zinn and Stilhelm. I've played a prot warrior for years and loved their capabilities, even if it was a little challenging at times. With the changes in Cataclysm, however, I find I'm spending way too much time focused on gaining and holding threat at the expense of losing situational awareness.
Luckily I have a prot paladin alt which has now become my main. Pulling and holding threat (even with barely any hit or expertise) is fairly easy and straightforward as a paladin, especially due to the auto-smart capabilities of the avenger's shield which won't break existing CC's. Also both the Avenger's Shield and Hammer of the Righteous are "solid" threat generators with just a single strike, whereas I have to use multiple abilities (sometimes multiple times) to gain gain solid threat as a warrior.
Without a doubt, I'm extremely sad to give up my warrior identity and unique abilities (i.e. charge, intercept, etc) but on the other side of the coin, I'm absolutely loving my paladin raid support abilities such as auras, off healing, and raid wide dmg mitigation. For me, being able to off heal a healer and keep them up so that they can keep me up is a simple amazing feeling.
So like the others have indicated, if you want ease into tanking, I'd recommend a prot paladin rather than a prot warrior. The flip side though is that if you can learn to tank with a prot warrior, tanking with other classes will probably be pretty easy for you in comparison.
Reading this makes me sad. I got back into WoW after quitting back in vanilla. Signed up again with my friends, and one of us needed to be a tank. I wanted to pick the most 'pure' tanking class, and my logical deduction led me to choosing the Warrior. Why?
- Warrior is the only 'pure' plate melee class.
- Because it is the only 'pure' plate melee class, it must obviously be the most 'pure' tank, if specced to be so.
- Paladins can heal! Blizzard must surely have scaled back their tanking abilities if they can heal themselves and others, as that would be OP, in my opinion. I guess this was my own way of seeing the "5% rule".
Well I guess I'm wrong. I still love my warrior and nothing will make me change my choice in class. But it does feel like Pallys can basically do everything better, which feels unfair.

@Spider, I see what you mean but really the buff is not really optional. This has been discussed many times over way back when the ICC buffs came out and I don't want get into that issue again. I guess I'm being slightly selfish in my stance but I do wish our guild completed the raid while it was more current. I'm not one of those hardcore elitist though that say "noooo nerfs. Now every scrub can get lootz" at least? XD I'm just lamenting about the fact that nerfs came so quickly for content that's easier to begin with (and I think that's the opinion of the majority of players right now just like the majority found the ragnaros encounter per nerf a bit too difficult for example)

North Korea Uncovered v.16
(great, as always.)
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has ordered its troops to be ready for a war against the United States and the Republic of Korea (ROK), the official KCNA said on Monday.
The order, released by the supreme command of the Korean People's Army (KPA), targeted the U.S.- ROK joint military exercises set to begin on Monday. KCNA said that the KPA will deal "merciless retaliatory blows" on the U.S. and ROK troops should the latter intrude upon the DPRK during the drills.
"There is no limit to the retaliatory measure of the KPA and no one can predict or evade it," KCNA quoted the order as saying.

Welcome to another week of Travel Photo Thursday. January has left us and February is rushing along. I'll continue to enjoy the charm of Chiang Mai for the next couple of weeks. Last Sunday I visited several of the lesser known temples in Chiang Mai, and I want to share with you some shots from Wat Pa Pao.
To join in the Travel Photo Thursday fun simply post a photo on your blog. Return here and place your link in the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this post.
Please post a link to a post featuring a travel photo, not simply a link to your blog.
The Twitter hash tag for Travel Photo Thursday is #TPThursday.
As a courtesy please post a link to Budget Travelers Sandbox.
On first glance, Wat Pa Pao looks to be quite an ancient temple. However, according to what I've read, this Shan temple was built in the 19th century by order of King Inthawichayanon. Located just outside steps away from Chiang Mai's old city, and main tourist thoroughfare, it often gets missed in the rush of visiting the better known temples in the city.
The temple was quite busy when I was there last Sunday, but not with tourists. The locals were having some kind of gathering in the assembly hall. I'm not sure what it was, but I could hear the buzz as I wandered the temple grounds. The temple is a fine example of Burmese temple architecture, hidden away just off of the busy street. Unless you are looking for it, you could easily walk by without giving the Wat a second glance. Even with the buzz from the hall, it was easy to get "lost" in the serenity of the compound. The temple is named for the surrounding grove of pao trees.
Lions guard the stupa/chedi…
Entrance to the Chedi…
There are several of these entrances, and if you are more than five feet tall, you will have to bend over to enter.
An offering…
I wonder…
A peaceful pose…
Wat Pa Pao's chedi…
The Wat is home to a beautiful teak temple…
(Not open to the public, but pretty to look at.)
A bit of advice from the monks…
No monks or dogs were compromised for this photo essay :)
Traveler's Tip
Wat Pa Pao is open daily from 6am to 6pm, admission is free
Located just outside Chiang Mai's old city moat, the temple is a short stroll from Thapae Gate. Come through the gate, turn right, and walk about 6 or 7 minutes. Cross the street again and you will easily find the entrance to the temple.
Dress appropriately. That means shoulders covered and no short shorts, for the ladies; shirts for the men. Ladies, carry a shawl or scarf to cover your shoulders if you are wearing a sleeveless top. No smoking on the temple grounds.
You can find out more about Wat Pa Pao here. You will not find this temple listed on Trip Advisor. Maybe that's one of the reasons it's so peaceful :)

This is my first time joining Travel Photo Thursday. I came to you through my contact with Jo at Zigazag. It is wonderful to be sharing with other photographers and travellers around the world and being inspired by their work and going to places I haven't been.
Thank you for the opportunity to contribute. Beautiful images of Chiang Mai. Our friends have visited many times, no wonder they keep going back.
I can feel how peaceful the area is through your beautiful photos. I love the photo of the offering. The teak temple is stunning. What a shame you can't see inside.

I love the Lion, and teak temple and the quirky "dog and Monk" photo. I find Wats to be so much more peaceful than churches.

These are all lovely, but I am particularly taken by the ornate carving of the teak temple. I loved the teak buildings and carvings when I was in Thailand.

Jenny from the wonderful Taste for Travel blog led me here. What a stunning place. The photos put me in the same mood as I find I am in when I look back on my own of the Sri Lankan hill country, so I've linked up – it's an old post, but still one of my favourite places.
Super blog :)

Like other commenters, that teak temple really appeals to me. Perhaps I'll head over there some day and see if I can sneak inside. ; ) I am truly enjoying all your Chiang Mai posts, and I like that this temple is undiscovered by the tourist crowd.

What a beautiful photo essay of the temple! This does look like a gem and I'm sorry to think I may well have walked right past without stopping to visit.
Looking forward to more images of Chiang Mai from you!

The temple looks so solemn and peaceful. I guess people who go there can surely find inner peace.

WEST BEND, WI (WTAQ) - Students from Purdue University are expected to attend the funeral tonight of a classmate from West Bend.
The western Indiana school said Monday it would provide charter bus service for students wishing to attend the service for 21-year-old Andrew Boldt. He was shot to death last Tuesday while working as a teaching assistant in a computer engineering class on the Purdue campus.
One of his fellow engineering majors, 23-year-old Cody Cousins, is charged in the slaying.
Purdue says a student bus will leave early this afternoon for St. Frances Cabrini Catholic Church in West Bend, where a visitation is being held just before tonight's 7 p.m. service.
Purdue President Mitch Daniels has said he would attend the funeral.

Our website gives you lots of information about our school and we hope you will enjoy looking around and finding out more about the many interesting and exciting things that happen here – whether you are a pupil, parent, parishioner, prospective parent, governor, staff member or even a past pupil from long ago!
Our Catholic faith is at the heart of our school and is evident as soon as you step though our doors in what you will see, hear and feel inside St Joseph's. Our entire curriculum and school culture is based on the teachings of Christ and children are taught to be kind, respectful, forgiving and caring young people.
Our mission statement of 'Faith, Hope, Love' ensures that all children are supported in order to fulfill their true potential, both academically and spiritually. By developing a love of learning, when the children move onto the next phase of their education, they have the skills and confidence to follow and achieve their aspirations.
All of our children are unique individuals and have different needs. Our carefully crafted curriculum ensures that all children are challenged and succeed in all areas of learning, in an environment that is safe, caring and engaging.
At St Joseph's we work in partnership with you, the parents. As the first educators of your children, your support and involvement in your child's learning is essential. We have an 'open door' policy because we want you to continue to be actively involved in your child's learning at school.
We look forward to getting to know both you and your child and welcome you to our school family.
We are having a fantastic time so far!!!!

"I could not have been more pleased with my experience with Wedding Paper Divas. I received all orders right on time, they turned out better than I even imagined and they were the perfect design for my destination wedding. I continue to get compliments on my invitations and will treasure them forever! Thank you to the kind ladies that I spoke with via phone to make some last minute edits! They were amazing :) Thank you Wedding Paper Divas!! Stacey"
"I ordered this design in the textured paper with the bracket stlye cut. The design team was quick and made my desired changes with no problem. They are beautiful,simple and elegant.They were packaged well and arrived a week before the anticipated arrival date."
"My wedding invitations came in today and not only were they super speedy but incredibly elegant with all the details and changes I had wanted. Very thrilled with this design and purchase!"
"I am very happy with my invitation purchase from wedding paper divas. I was shocked that I was able to customize almost anything I wanted with the invitation. I had a lot of changes that I wanted to make and they were able to make just about every single one of them, from the wording on the invitation to the colors."
"We customized text and color to reflect who are are and we love them. Highly recommend if you are using the invite, reply card and insert that you ask Wedding Paper Divas to give you a size 11 envelope vs a size 10 - the size 10 are packed so tightly they are shredding when people open them which means i am worried they will lose parts of the invite."

- Caymus Conundrum California White
The only white in the Caymus stable, a blend of sauvignon blanc, muscat canelli, muscat, viognier and chardonnay grapes, this slighlty sweet wine pairs with asian and spicy light food. The "puzzle" of Conundrum lies partly in guessing the range of grape varieties used, because we never reveal its exact composition. To create the layered flavors that go into the Conundrum blend, they use Sauvignon Blanc grapes from the Napa Valley, Muscat Canelli from Tulare County on the Central Coast, and Chardonnay and Viognier from our vineyards in Monterey County.
- Groth Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
"From the winery's estate vineyard, on the eastern side of the Oakville appellation, this Cab is incredibly lush and delicious. It dazzles with rich blackberry, cherry pie, currant and cassis liqueur flavors, perfectly accented by sweet, smoky oak. It's soft in tannins, yet ageworthy." - Wine Enthusiast

Who decides if an agency, college, or university will close?
How will you know?
For closing information for agencies in the Richmond Metro Area you can:
If youre employed outside the Richmond Metro area check with your supervisor or agency human resource director for details about local media announcements.
How do you know if youre a "designated" employee?
The Emergency Closings Policy applies to all classified, restricted, and At-Will employees. The policy describes designated and non-designated employees. Designated employees are those who are required to work during an official closing because the services they provide are essential to agency operations during emergencies. Agencies and institutions are required to tell employees if they are designated or non-designated.

No matter where you work you need to stay informed about your agencys procedure for office closings. Your supervisor or human resource office can give you this information and answer questions that often arise during and after an office closing.

Cream Puffs
he's not handsome… -he mumbled, not liking the thought of rapunzel thinking he was. he chewed, receiving more kisses. he brushed his goatee against her cheek- i don't know if i like phil eating cream puffs around you…..
She smiled. "I guess you'll just have to one-up him and eat more cream puffs around me. And lick your fingers. And kiss on me. You can practice right now, if you want."
hey hey, i don't have to one up him, baby. there is no competition there. i hope you're engaged to the man you want to see eating cream puffs. -he smirked and gave her a kiss on the tip of her nose-
She was glad that at least this made Eugene realize he didn't need to compete with Philip. "You're right, there is no competition," she said, kissing the corner of his mouth and handing him another cream puff. "And I am engaged tot he man I want to see eating cream puffs. So eat them."

A little living room inspiration. Sofa is on its way.
It has been a while. So many happy changes and new adventures for us right now. We move to our first house in a little under three weeks. Excited for a clean slate, a fresh start and for something to be ours entirely.
A little inspiration:
Around our home.
5 years ago we drove from Toronto to Memphis. Just rediscovered some photos I took at sun studios & Graceland. I would love to do a trip like this again sometime.
A big thank you to the Ace hotel & Swim club for what was one of the best vacations of my life.

Eli Lilly And Company Stock Buy Recommendation Reiterated (LLY)
- ACTIVE STOCK TRADERS: Get trading ideas for stocks under $10 for less than $6/week. Start with a 14-Day Free Trial.
- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 36.50% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, LLY should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Pharmaceuticals industry average. The net income increased by 7.3% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $1,236.30 million to $1,326.60 million.
- The gross profit margin for LILLY (ELI) & CO is currently very high, coming in at 77.90%. Regardless of LLY's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, LLY's net profit margin of 24.40% compares favorably to the industry average.
- LLY, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 2.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues fell by 11.5%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company's bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.
- LILLY (ELI) & CO has improved earnings per share by 6.3% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. We feel it is likely to report a decline in earnings in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, LILLY (ELI) & CO reported lower earnings of $3.90 versus $4.58 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 13.1% in earnings ($3.39 versus $3.90).

About the Mount Roberts Tramway
The Mount Roberts Tramway, opened in 1996, wasn't the first nor the longest aerial tramway, but it stands today as one of the most ambitious and successful ones ever built, thanks to several engineering innovations.
The Mount Roberts Tramway uses a cable transportation system known as a ropeway, first used in the European Alps in the late 1800s. Ropeways have been traditionally associated with ski areas, but today these systems are also used in other visitor attractions, material hauling and urban transportation. Leitner-Poma of America, the Mount Roberts Tramway builder, is a subsidiary of Pomagalski, S. A., the world's largest supplier of ropeway transportation systems.
Compared to other aerial trams, the Mount Roberts Tramway is about average: 3,087 feet long and rising 1,745 feet in elevation. With its two 60-passenger cabins, the Mount Roberts Tramway can accommodate up to 1,050 passengers per hour.
An Engineering Marvel
While the Mount Roberts Tramway is typical in many ways, several features distinguish this system from others around the world. While a typical tram uses sockets to attach the hauling cable to the carriers, the Mount Roberts Tramway's haul cable is spliced into a continuous loop, with the carriages attached using spring-loaded clamps. The innovative (and now patented) Poma design allows the rope to be released from the carriages and inspected over its entire length to monitor potential defects. The Mount Roberts Tramway was the first aerial tramway in the United States to use this system.
Another outstanding engineering feature of the Mount Roberts Tramway is its lack of intermediate towers along the route to spoil the view. This is possible because the Tramway's upper terminal tower is 165 feet tall–a height necessary to clear all obstacles along the route. Its more than 400,000 pounds of steel, all assembled by helicopter, not only support the Tramway cables, but also the fully enclosed, 3,000-square-foot viewing platform, from which riders get a spectacular panorama of the Juneau waterfront.
How the Tramway Works
For such engineering sophistication, the operation of the Mount Roberts Tramway is pretty simple. Two tracks of specially constructed wire rope provide the guiding "rails" for the carriage to ride on. A separate rope, attached to both carriers to form a continuous loop, pulls one carrier up the hill as it lowers the second carrier down. In this way, the two cars always move in opposition to each other: Whenever one moves up the mountain, the other moves down, and whenever one is docking in the upper terminal, the other is docking in the lower terminal. This type of operation is known as "jig-back."
Each car rides on two track cables of 2-inch diameter, each having a breaking strength of more than 300 tons. The hauling cable is 1 3/8 inches in diameter and is automatically kept at the correct tension by a hydraulic system in the upper terminal. Track ropes are fixed to the foundations at each terminal and supported in specially designed saddles that distribute the load of the rope tension to the structure. The Tramway's mechanical equipment drive, deflection wheels, motor, etc. are carefully incorporated into the terminal to minimize transmission of noise and vibration to the passenger boarding and deboarding areas.

My "godless garden" doesn't sound quite right. In my opinion, a better term would be "my god-free garden", and better yet would be my "superstition-free garden".
This morning, in my godless garden, I got a handful of raspberries, and they were good. The ones to come on next will be better because they're getting more sun.
I love looking at other's photos. I get ideas from them. I also get envious.
Joan, after reading your comments, I should appreciate my woodshed more! I built it from my torn down garage and scraps of wood from here and there. Serves the purpose of keeping firewood dry.
Steph, I will be watching for them.
I have some pictures I just took in my garden and will be posting them as soon as I get them off my iPhone.
Randy, your home, garden and wood shed are just perfect ... a kind of Shangri-La, a paradise! Seeing your place, it brings back the memories of my former row garden and how different it was to tend it than the one I have now. I love the meditation aspect of my present design, but do have a longing for rows of corn, beets, carrots, onion, lettuce kohlrabi, turnips, cabbages and beans.
Your home is so charming, lovely colors and healthy looking plants to greet you home. The wide porch with chairs invites one into a sanctuary.
I absolutely love the woodshed! We always had one when I was a kid. There is something about going into a woodshed, with the smells, the mice racing back and forth, the cats after them, that rings memory bells for me. Now I have a tool shed and a garage where I store my garden equipment and supplies and enjoy them greatly ... just not like a woodshed with wood smells.
We had a dreadful downpour the other day after a very unpleasantly hot spell. Everything was beaten to the ground, but yesterday morning, everything was standing back upright, as bright and clean and happy as can be. It seems that nitrogen and phosphorous come with electric storms, and so give the plants a nice food boost. It was too muggy to work in the garden yesterday, even though the skies were clear. The temperature and humidity were right up there.
Today was glorious. I was able to stay in the garden until 12:30 before being forced in by the temperature.
Since I created the meditation garden 18 years ago, I have a very limited space for raspberries. The ground is extremely fertile and the berries are so big they pull the canes down to the ground. I have one batch tied up to the fence and had a glorious time this morning eating as I pulled weeds and tended to other tasks.
The squirrels and birds have a patch about 6' x 6' that I didn't tie up and I eat the top belayer of berries, the critters run in and out getting the berries deep inside the thicket. Old Mr. Notch Tail Squirrel picks a berry deep inside the thicket, comes out and sits on my east box and looks at me as he devours the most luscious looking berries. He appears to be mocking me, that he has access to them and I don't.
The birds fly in and out of the thicket with great felicity and sometimes swoop close to my head as they fly to the water source and seed feeders.
Everything looks lush & healthy, Randy.
Thank you, everyone. I've lived here for 37 years, the last 15 alone (gone are 4 kids and their mother). It requires considerable work and maintainence, not to mention attention to my farm property (5 miles away: silverthorn-farm.com). It's a labor of love, needlss to say.
Yes, Spud, the surrounding corn and bean fields are farmed by a friend. My farm house belonged to the original land owner (one acre plus 79 in crops).

The spider wasp Anoplius viaticus, which is about 12 to 14 millimetres big, is relatively widespread in Central Europe. As from April, it already can be found frequently on immature soils marked by scarce vegetation or none at all. Sporadically, it even nests on warm, sunlit forest soils sparsely covered by vegetation.
To begin with, Anoplius viaticus hectically runs around the ground looking for its prey, a wolf spider (family: Lycosidae), which it usually finds in the latter's lair, for example under a tuft of grass or a piece of wood.
After a short, fierce battle it overpowers its prey. It stings the spider with its stinger that is at the end of its abdomen and injects it with a liquid leading to the spider's immediate paralysis.
While the spider wasp now shortly and apparently very nervously surveys the immediate vicinity of its prey, the wolf spider that hast just been overpowered lies narcotized on the earth's surface.
Another female spider wasp of the genus Anoplius viaticus takes advantage of the situation in order to steal the unsupervised prey. But the "landlady" has watched out. A short fight ensues, and while the spider wasp pursues the thief.....
..... an ant finds the fresh, defenseless spider. After it has quickly surveyed it and assessed it as good, the ant decides .....
..... to drag this huge treat that it usually could never overcome by itself to its nest.
But again, the spider wasp is on the scene at the proper time and drives away the ant by assuming a threatening posture.
Now the female wasp tries to drag off the wolf spider lying face down - in vain! The frictional resistance of the massive spider lying on the raw sandy soil is too high.
But than, the wasp alters its tactics: It grabs the spider sideways .....
..... and turns it over without further ado so that it lies in a supine position.
The ant, a fighter itself, does not give in and tries once again to steal the attractive prey. But again, the wasp's aggressive posture puts the ant to rout - this time for good.
Now the spider wasp bends over its prey lying
..... quickly looks at the spider's bottom side .....
..... and encompasses the spider's hips between its last and its penultimate pair of legs.
Than it hauls up the spider and puts it on its silk glands at the end of its abdomen. With the spider hulking up in front of its head, the spider sees no more in front of it. That's no problem for the wasp - now it runs backwards pulling the erect spider in that direction. By means of this mode of transportation, the spider wasp only has to cope with a very small frictional resistance while dragging away the spider, as only the pointed end of the spider's abdomen touches the ground. With the spider "sitting" on the ground, the wasp still does not have to carry its total weight.
..... and drags it up to this place.
The sleeping spider now lies on a leaf at an altitude of about ten centimetres.
After that, the female searches the sandy soil in close vicinity for an appropriate place in order to build its nest. At first, it runs around at high speed seemingly without a plan, scratching here and there. This behaviour may last for hours sometimes. When it has finally settled for an appropriate place, it digs a hole into the soil by scratching and gnawing. In order to confer more pressure to its mandibles while gnawing, it strongly supports itself sideways with its long legs.
Thus the hole gets deeper and deeper.
The sand the wasp has dug up is removed from the nest entrance by alternately using its two front legs while going backwards
From time to time, the wasp returns to the left spider in order to check if everything is all right.
In cool weather, the wasp frequently interrupts its work in order to sunbathe - even if the sun only temporarily disappears behind a cloud. At this, the female wasp presses its body onto the ground thus absorbing the warmth of the floor.
With the wasp continuing its digging, the hole gets deeper and deeper.
Pieces of roots or bigger stones (see picture on the right-hand side) are no barrier for the wasp. They will be grabbed and also dragged away by means of the mandibles.
In this way, the wasp grabs a tunnel that runs obliquely down into the earth and is about ten centimetres long. At the end, it expands to form a small cave, the brood chamber. The sand detached within the tunnel is shoved away backwards by means of its abdomen on whose end a lot of relatively stiff hairs protrude. The abdominal hairiness, which is a perfect means to shove away the sand, is called terminal abdominal hair-brush.
After the digging is completed, the spider wasp returns to the paralyzed spider and drags it to the nest
It positions the spider next to the nest entrance and surveys the interior and the size of the entrance once again. The last objectionable grains of sand are scratched away.
After all, the female wasp pulls the spider the last few centimetres directly to the nest .....
..... and places it exactly above the nest entrance. Then it squeezes past the spider and enters the nest headlong.
Inside the tunnel, it turns around and returns to the nest entrance where it pokes out its head just a bit, grabs the spider lying ahead by means of its mandibles and .....
.... pulls it into the nest from the inside.
Some minutes later, after the oviposition, the female wasp appears again and starts closing the nest. It bites some sand off the tunnel wall and stuffs it into the nest interior.
The sand that has been removed laboriously some time ago is now partially scratched back and transported into the nest tunnel by means of the front legs.
Now the wasp uses its abdomen in order to harden the loose sand in the nest tunnel. In doing so the female digs its straddled feet powerfully into the ground.
Like a jackhammer the wasp hammers down the loose sand by means of its curved vibrating abdomen.
At the end, it grabs bigger stones or sand boards lying in close vicinity .....
..... and pulls them over the closed nest entrance.
Finally, the nest has been perfectly disguised, and there are no longer any indications of the previous activities.
A look into the inside of the nest shows the tunnel running obliquely. It is about ten centimetres long and ends in the brood chamber. There you can see the caught, narcotized wolf spider on which an egg has been placed.
After a few days, a larva hatches from the wasp's egg and feeds upon the spider. The spider's size exactly suffices so that the larva can pass its development stages. It develops within a few days and subsequently spins a cocoon in which it spends some time as a resting larva. From summer until late summer of the same year, it pupates and hatches as a completely developed wasp soon after. Male and female wasp copulate, the males soon die after that. The fertilized females now dig their winter habitat: a tunnel that is about 30 centimetres long. This time, however, the dissolved soil material is not scratched far away from the nest entrance, but only pushed out of the tunnel, so that distinctive banks of earth are formed - similar to a molehill. On the first warm days in March or April of the following year, the female leaves its winter habitat and immediately starts looking for a wolf spider - the life cycle starts over again.

Francisco Javier Arana
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2013)
Francisco Javier Arana (December 5, 1905 – July 18, 1949)[1] was one of the three leaders of the revolutionary junta that ruled Guatemala from 20 October 1944 to 15 March 1945.
Major Francisco Arana was the son of lower middle class parents of mixed Spanish and Indian blood. He lacked formal education, but he made up for it with an intellectually curious mind. He was well-read by the pitiful standards of the Guatemalan officers of his day and projected a charismatic image. Arana's death was the pivotal event of the Guatemalan Revolution. His death opened the doors to the election of Jacobo Árbenz Guzmán, who would later implement Guatemala's first agrarian reform. Árbenz would then be overthrown by the United States in June 1954, thus ending the Revolution.
On 20 October 1944, the Guatemalan Revolution began with the overthrow of Federico Ponce. His rule was replaced by a three-man junta. The junta consisted of Major Arana, Captain Árbenz, and an upper-class civilian by the name of Jorge Toriello. However, Arana's emergence as one of the leaders was termed as an "accident" for he joined the plot only in the later stages. The junta proposed free elections for a constituent assembly, a Congress, and a president.
In 1945, the Pacto del Barranco (Pact of the Ravine) was arranged between Arana and PAR, the most popular political party at the time. This pact was formed because of an accident that President Juan José Arévalo was involved in. He accidentally drove his car into a deep ravine which rendered him invalid for a long period of time. Afraid that Arana might take advantage of the situation, PAR promised to support his candidacy in the November 1950 presidential elections in exchange for his refrain from a military coup. This agreement was known to a very few people in Guatemala; not even the American Embassy knew about this. It explained Arana's unwillingness to join any movement against Arévalo. The truth was that he did not have any desire for a military coup. He wanted to be known as the democratic hero of the uprising against Ponce and he believed that the Pacto del Barranco would guarantee his position as a president elected by an admiring populace, not a usurper ruling through force.

"You become a different person, you are no longer an ordinary fellow who walks around and looks after his children and eats meals and does silly things, you go into a completely different world. I personally draw all the curtains in the room, so that I don't see out the window and put on a little light which shines on my board. Everything else in your life disappears and you look at your bit of paper and get completely lost in what you're doing."

It was in unusually decisive fashion that the 1975 Nelson varsity football won the first-ever Class D state title game ever played, soundly defeating Lawrence, 34-7, in action from Superior High School.
Led by the stellar play of defensive star senior Rick Mazour, Nelson was able to assume control of the game by halftime, a much different scenario than when the two teams battled into the final seconds of the game earlier in the season.
Mazour, a tackle on most plays, assumed the role of linebacker in the "50 rover" alignment utilized by coach Gary DeBoer to stop Lawrence's seldom-seen single wing offense.
