I have covered the greatness of Paladin AoE Guides. I have revealed unto you the incredible power of Frost Mage AoE Grinding. And now I must bring forth, Frost Knight AoE Grinding!
You can use the general information from this post in conjunction with the Death Knight Tanking Guides for AoE rotations I use for questing. I use pretty well the same exact concepts and rotations when doing AoE Tanking on my Death Knight when the situation calls for me to focus on AoE to grab and maintain agro in an instant so that I can then settle into a tanking rotation.
For the purposes of this article when you see any form of "(BFU)" it is an expression of the ability's Rune Cost, where "(##)" will show the amount of Runic Power that is required for abilities with RP costs rather than Rune costs. When using our Death Runes they will be noted as "(DD)".
This guide also contains only information up to level 70, so spells obtained only at higher levels will not appear in this guide.
Death Knight Specs: Quick Overview
Any Death Knight spec can do AoE grinding to at least some degree. Frost and Unholy are much better off than Blood is in the AoE category (though perhaps not so much in the survivability area), but any spec can technically do it. Some just need to branch out a little bit more than others.
All DK's have access to Death and Decay which is a solid AoE ability though it does come with a heavy Rune cost.
Spending 11 points in the Unholy tree grants you access to Corpse Explosion which serves as a Runic Power version of AoE damage to be used when you are in a Rune Blackout (all runes used and on cooldown). Corpse Explosion does require a non-elemental, non-mechanical corpse in order to be used, but it is another option for AoE damage once you've laid down the hate and started piling up the corpses. But any corpse will do, including a fallen comrade.
With 8 points in the Blood tree you can have Scent of Blood 3/3 which gives you a 15% chance after a dodge or parry to have each of your next three auto-attacks generate 10 Runic Power which could be taken in addition to Corpse Explosion to help fuel its repeated use. I don't know that it's a great option, but there it is if you happen to be a CE freak (like me).
You can spend 14 points in the Blood tree to get both Rune Tap (B) which will restore 10% of your health when used, as well as Death Rune Mastery which will cause the runes used for Obliterate and Death Strike to regenerate as Death Runes. Having both Death Rune Mastery and Blood of the North maxed will give you four different attacks that will grant Death Runes to help fuel whatever ability you might want to use.
Since I'm focusing on Frost here, I will point out that I suggest you get all the way through the Frost tree (level 60 minimum) before you branch off into the other trees. As for the rest of the spec, I suggest you follow the guide I offer in my DK Tanking: Frost Edition guides.
Frost AoE: General Information
You can use either a single disease or a double disease method for this, though my personal suggestion is that you go with a double disease, dual wielding Frost build.
Howling Blast (FU) is your largest source of AoE damage, and using things like your Killing Machine procs and your Deathchill ability to maximize your damage by providing auto-crits go a long way towards burning down the largest group of mobs in the shortest amount of time. Rime procs will give you free uses of Howling Blast as well as resetting its cooldown, so keep a keen eye out for those as well. You may want to consider using an addon such as PowerAuras Classic to help you keep track of your procs if you have trouble with them.
With Frost you are going to make frequent use of Howling Blast for AoE damage and applying the Frost Fever disease, Obliterate (FU) to generate Rime procs for free Howling Blasts, Blood Boil (B) for DK-centered AoE damage, Pestilence (B) for disease spreading, and potentially Death & Decay (BFU) as well. If you branched out into Unholy for Corpse Explosion (40) then you have a Runic Power AoE as well, which is centered on the corpse that it's used on.
As a Death Knight you have several tools to use for pulling mobs. The most obvious of these is Scorpion's famous move, Death Grip, which will pull the targeted mob to you and "force" them to attack you for three seconds. Some mobs are immune to the physical pull, but they will still agro you and chase you down after you use it. Death Grip has a pretty big cooldown all things considered, but it does not require any runes or runic power to use.
You also have two sources of ranged AoE pulling, in the form of Howling Blast (FU) and Death and Decay (BFU), which can both be used to pull a group of mobs instead of just one. Howling Blast is a bit better if you are pulling the group and moving on to pull others as well, where Death and Decay is probably better off cast as you near the end of your pull so that you can make use of its DoT (Damage of Time) AoE effect.
You also have two forms of single-target ranged pulls in Icy Touch (F) and Death Coil (40). Death Coil requires RP to cast, so it's not the greatest spell for pulling, but when you find yourself high on RP and nothing else to spend it on just yet you might as well get some use out of it.
If you don't have much, or any, Runic Power built up during a pull, feel free to use your melee abilities rather than simply body pulling. Primarily you want to use Plague Strike (B) for this in order to establish a disease, or Blood Strike (B) to get your Blood Runes converted to Death Runes for use in the next round.
There is one other spell I want to mention here for pulling, but it will actually be more useful after the next step happens to help get stray casters to come to your centralized area. The spell is called Strangulate (B) which is a single target, 30 yard ranged Silence spell that lasts for 5 seconds. When you use that on a caster they will rush towards melee range as long as they are silenced, and 5 seconds should be more than enough for you to get them within range of your AoE spells.
And of course you do still have the old fashioned, tried and true body pull which can be done either mounted or on foot, which simply requires that you get within agro range of the mobs. Some locations allow for or maybe even require that you use Line of Sight (LoS) techniques to agro the mobs and then move to a location that they cannot attack you from so that they must run around it to engage you; running to the other side of a wall is a perfect example of this as they will run around the wall as well and then stand there clustered together to help with your AoE.
In my other AoE Grinding guides I mentioned a step here that I called "Corral", which is basically just gathering all the mobs up into a central area so that you can AoE them down from there. You want to do that with a Frost DK as well, but it's not quite so big a deal as it is with a Mage; instead it's more like grinding with a Paladin where as long as they are within your AoE range you really don't care how close they are to one another.
To be technical on the subject, you do want the mobs to be within 10 yard of each other so that you are able to hit them all, but with the exception of casters they should all be ganged up around you to begin with. Again, using the various spells mentioned in the Pulling section above and things like LoS are key to getting the mobs centralized and ready to burn them down.
Where a mage wants to put some distance between himself and the mobs, a Death Knight just wants everyone to look straight into his scourgefire eye sockets and see their own deaths rushing forth to meet them. As a DK you need to embrace your tanking habits and be sure to get as many mobs as you possibly can to be in front of you so that you can make use of all of your avoidance on them. You do this by repositioning yourself which usually consists of just backing up while facing them so that they get in front of you.
Some mobs just move in odd patterns and constantly seem to move behind you no matter what you do. In those cases you can either plant your back against a wall, or just ignore that one mob until you've taken out the others. Another option that is open to you is to use your Hungering Cold (F) ability to freeze everything in place, reposition yourself where you want to be (with all the mobs in front of you), and then either wait for the spell to wear off or hit them with a ranged AoE like Howling Blast to break them all out again.
Strategic use of Hungering Cold can make the difference between a successful AoE grinder and an exceptional AoE grinder. Use it to freeze the mobs in place, use Pestilence to spread your diseases (which does not break the ice), and then use a bandage on yourself if needed to restore your health and also allow your other runes the time they need to cooldown. Once you're ready (or the 10 second timer is up) spread your diseases again with Pestilence and then go back into your rotation. If you do not have the Glyph of Disease to refresh your diseases for you then you will need to reapply them via Icy Touch > Plague Strike > Pestilence. If you do have the glyph then as long as the diseases are still on your current target it will refresh them and spread them around once again.
Important Note: Because our survival talent from the Blood tree, Blade Barrier, doesn't come into effect until our Blood Runes are on cooldown, I suggest you go ahead and use up any remaining Blood Runes during this step. If you haven't spread your diseases yet or you did spread them but they're wearing off, then use Pestilence, otherwise go for Blood Boil if there are two or mobs near you or Blood Strike if there is only one.
Death to the Living!
Once you've gathered up the mobs and got them in place it's time to burn those suckers down. Each DK has their own personal play style, so if you have another way you prefer to do this then by all means go with your own if you prefer, and of course feel free to leave any comments, suggestions, or criticisms you might have.
1st Rune Set: Icy Touch (F), Plague Strike (U), Pestilence (B), Blood Boil (B), Howling Blast (FU), RP Dump
2nd Rune Set: Obliterate (FU), [Howling Blast (Free)], Howling Blast (DD), Obliterate (FU), [Howling Blast (Free)], RP Dump
Technically our first rune set will actually be a sporadic mishmash of whatever you happened to use to pull all of the mobs to you, but we're talking about the rotation here.
The first rune set establishes your diseases, spreads them around, and then hits with two AoE spells. Your Runic Power Dump for the first set is probably going to be Frost Strike (40). If you have enough points in Unholy then it can be used for Corpse Explosion (40) instead if you want more AoE.
Frost Strike hits hard and it's great for chopping down your groups faster which will lead to better survivability overall, but CE will help bring down the group as a whole so use whichever serves best in your situation. If you're taking quite a bit of damage then it's better to increase your single target DPS with FS to kill some of them off, unless the mobs are already low enough on health that CE might finish one or more of them off for you. If you're doing fine on your health then stick to AoE spells as much as you can so that you get the most damage on the most targets for the resources you spend.
In the second rune set we focus more on AoE damage to bring down the mobs as one. With the initial Obliterate we are hoping for a Rime proc to use Howling Blast, but if we don't get one then we're moving right along to a regular Howling Blast and getting those Blood Runes (Death Runes in this case) back on cooldown to proc our Parry buff again. Whenever Rime procs go ahead and use your Howling Blast; if that screws up your rotation because HB is on cooldown then simply replace the HB with Obliterate instead and try for another Rime proc.
Remember though that we aren't trying to tank an instance with this, so we aren't so much worried about maintaining threat as we are simply killing everything around us. If Howling Blast is available and you still have multiple mobs on you it's perfectly acceptable to use HB instead of Obliterate for the AoE damage. Rime is more likely to proc when using two weapons instead of one, so it's especially acceptable for a 2H build to use HB over Obliterate since the chance to proc Rime is lower.
Settle down now, you're a DK…you're already dead. Before we get on into the next section, let us take a break and talk about what to do when things go wrong and suddenly you're in trouble.
The first choice you have is something I already mentioned up above, which is using Hungering Cold to freeze everything within 10 yards of you for 10 seconds. This gives you time to either use a bandage or put your running shoes on and get the heck out of there (only a coward runs from combat, but only a "moron" throws his gold away on unnecessary repair bills).
Another option that we have open to us is Death Pact (40 RP, requires level 66) which requires you to sacrifice your ghoul in exchange for 40% of your health to instantly be healed. It's a big heal and it comes in very handy. For this reason I save my ghoul for when I need heals rather than using him for extra dps, pulling, or whatever. The one thing you need to watch out for is the runic cost of Death Pact. If you are taking a beating, be sure to build up your RP but try not to use it unless you have more than 30-40% so that you can DP when needed.
You also have the use of Icebound Fortitude (20) after level 62 which will give you 12 seconds of damage reduction to lessen those blows.
You can also make an adjustment to your attack rotations, replacing Obliterates and/or Howling Blasts with Death Strike (FU) instead, to heal yourself for 5% of your maximum health for each disease you have on the target.
If things are really getting hot, you've already used everything available to you that we've talked about here, then the only other option you have left to you (besides potions and such which you should already be well aware of) is to make an emergency switch over to Blood Presence (B) which increases your damage by 15% and heals you for 4% of the damage you deal. By default you should be grinding in Frost Presence (F) which increases your Stamina by 6%, your armor from gear by 60% and reduces damage you take by 8%. Losing Frost Presence can be a very dangerous thing when you're already getting beat on hard enough to be worried, but if you can dish out enough damage in a short enough amount of time then Blood Presence can potentially save your life by switching to it, landing a big attack for the heal (Death Strike is optimal for this), and then switching back to Frost Presence for your damage reduction.
All Your Sparklies Are Belong To Me
And now that they're all dead it's just a matter of collecting loot and moving right along to the next group. A lot of your damage is going to be dealt over time rather than in bursts. So when you do get procs like Rime and Killing Machine, it's a good idea to move right into your next pull to take advantage of those if you aren't in need of healing. Timing your Rime/KM procs so that they're used together is an excellent way to bring down a lot of mobs in a short amount of time.
What Spells Do I Use Again?

|Blood Boil

Faced with the possibility that La Plata County could see shale-oil-well development for the first time in the coming year, county commissioners explored the possibility of enacting a moratorium on the practice during a work session Wednesday.
Commissioners brought up the possibility of a moratorium on shale-oil-well development after Houston-based Swift Energy Resources filed two applications with the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission to drill two exploratory horizontal wells in western La Plata County.
Swifts target is the oil- and gas-rich Niobrara Formation, known in La Plata County as the Mancos Shale Formation.
Aided by technologies such as horizontal drilling and multistage hydraulic fracturing, energy companies have unlocked millions of barrels of oil from the Niobrara Formation on the Front Range, and now drillers are looking to tap it in other locations.
A moratorium on shale-oil-well development would allow the county to investigate the potential impacts of this type of development, which has never happened before in the county.
The majority of the more than 3,000 wells that dot the county are coal-bed methane wells.
Shale-oil wells extend much farther laterally and are fracked multiple times, requiring much more water than coal-bed methane wells.
Coal-bed methane wells completed in 2011, for example, required between 200,000 and 250,000 gallons of water, while the drilling and completion process for horizontal shale-oil wells require more than 4 million gallons.
Shale-oil-well pad sites are about three times larger than those of coal-bed methane wells to accommodate the massive amounts of water, sand and other materials needed to frack the wells.
All of this could have significant implications for the county from a land-use perspective, Deputy County Attorney Todd Weaver wrote in a memorandum to the county commissioners Wednesday.
In an area such as the western part of the county where water is scarce, operators likely will be hauling thousands of gallons of water a day in the shale-drilling process, which would have major impacts to county roads, Weaver said.
It was estimated that shale-oil wells drilled in the Bakken Shale Play in North Dakota require 2,000 to 2,200 truckloads to bring in and haul out the necessary material during their first year.
The countys code currently doesnt allow the government to assess or recover fees to maintain roads based on impacts from oil and natural-gas development, Weaver said. The western part of the county also lacks pipeline infrastructure that could cut down truck traffic, Weaver said.
La Plata County would hardly be the first to enact a moratorium related to gas and oil development. Cities across the Front Range enacted moratoriums during the last several years to give themselves time to study the gas and oil drilling and reform their land-use codes to better address such development.
Boulder and El Paso counties also enacted moratoriums to allow for revisions to their land-use codes and the adoption of new oil and gas regulations.
During the Wednesday work session, commissioners asked questions related to the countys jurisdiction over natural-gas and oil development but gave no indication about whether they would continue to explore or move forward with a moratorium.

We just made Week 11 look easy Robert DuCharme: a perfect 14-for-14; Dennis Garcia: a perfect 14-for-14; Gridiron Guru: 13-for-14.
Of course, it took a trio of overtime games to break right, including the Jaguars shocker in Houston, but they broke right in the end for DuCharme, Garcia and the Guru.
If the Rams hadnt laid an egg on their own St. Louis gridiron against the Jets, I wouldve had a perfect scorecard, too. Nonetheless, I ran my overall record to a much more respectable 96-63 with that effort.
DuCharme of Cedar Park, Texas, won the national Gridiron Green, while Garcia of Durango won our local Green.
The overall lead still is shared by tholeman and edonelan with 113 points, and tholeman leads the Gridiron Gold with the same total.

Difference between revisions of "Novosibirsk"
Revision as of 17:43, 15 November 2012
Novosibirsk (Russian: Новосиби́рск nuh-vuh-see-BEERSK) is a city in Novosibirsk Oblast, Siberia, and is the third largest city in Russia.
Most of people on the streets won't probably speak English with you if you need help. Don't think of them as being rude or not hospitable. Many of young people can speak English but they are afraid of talking to foreigners. It may sound ridiculous but it's true. It's just a matter of whom you run into. However, it's recommended to go to Novosibirsk with someone who understands Russian or to learn some Russian before you go. Older people tend not to speak foreign languages at all but it really depends on whom you run into. There are a lot of people who can communicate in English. So it's just a matter of you luck.
Summers in Novosibirsk are typically warm, but sometimes cold and rainy. Winters can be really cold with temperatures as low as -40° Celsius.
Get in
Flights are handled by the Tolmachevo Airport [5], 16km away from city center. S7 Airlines is the major airline here and have domestic flights to most cities in Russia. Aeroflot also have direct flights from Moscow. Bus #111 connects the airport with the major train station "Novosibirsk-Glavny" (Новосибирск-Главный) and Avtovokzal (Автовокзал), the bus terminal (each 30 min). Bus #112 since 06.2011 connects the airport with shopping mall "Mega" (IKEA). Also minibus #1122 shuttles between the airport and main train station.
Novosibirsk is a major station on the Trans-Siberian Railway, in fact the Vokzal-Glavny (Вокзал-Главный) station is the largest station along the route. This means that there are daily trains avalible from Moscow and Saint-Petersburg with a journey time of 2-3 days. Coming from the other direction, there are direct trains from Beijing, Ulaan Baator and Vladivostok amongst others. Also, Novosibirsk is also the final destination of the Sibirjak express train, the longest train journey originating in the European Union. This weekly train leaves Berlin each Saturday afternoon and arrives Wednesday at lunch time. Apart from the long-distance trains there are plenty of local and regional trains connecting with most nearby cities. Vokzal-Glavny station is very close to the Garina Mikhailovskogo (Гарина Михайловского) Metro stop.
Get around
There is a lot of public transport in this city. Everywhere you will pay from 13 to 30 rubles (it depends from your change of transport). Taxis, metro, buses, street railways or trams and so on. Most citizens can't speak even basic English (although almost all of them were taught English in schools). Very often it depends from some English accents of tourists, I mean, misunderstanding each other.
The Metro [6] is cheap but only runs through the city center and just past the Ob River. Still, for the visitor, you can get to many major destinations from its six major stops, including the main square, Lenin Square, on Krasny Prospekt (Red Avenue).
Lenin Square (city center)
See the Lenin's square with a grey-color monument of Lenin left from Soviet era standing right in front of the Opera and Ballet House which, by the way, is beautiful at night. It is also the largest opera house in Russia. There's also the exact geographical center of former Soviet Union just south of Lenin Square, marked by the Chapel of St. Nicholas, originally built in 1915 to commemorate 300 years of Romanov rule, destroyed in 1930 and rebuilt in 1993. In winter residents build an ice town on the Ob River, and in summer you can go to the beach. Near the city center on Krasny Prospekt,you can also see some excellent works in the Novosibirsk Art Museum and Local Studies Museum. You could also consider the Novosibirsk Regional Puppet Theater (over 70 years old in an interesting historic building), Novosibirsk Circus, and several other theaters. As in every Russian city, there are multiple monuments to heroes of the Great Patriotic War (WWII), including an eternal flame guarded at special ceremonies by youths with replica Kalashnikovs. Those are standard touristic places, but you should definitely make friends with locals to see the "best" parts of the city.
Novosibirsk Zoo
The zoo is one of the largest in Russia (after Novosibirsk had a really tiny one for decades until 90-s). Much money have been invested in the zoo during "prosperous 00-s", thanks to the zoo's devoted director Shilo, a member of the bureaaucrat United Russia party. The zoo is very well-attended and one of the best places to visit that Novosibisk can offer.[7]
A visit to Akademgorodok, built in the 1950s as a mecca for academics but suffering from neglect in the post-Soviet years, is still pleasant as a day trip. This formerly elite institution is located about 30 KM south of the city and features several museums and nice, tree-lined streets.
While you're in the area, you might also visit one of several nice beaches on the Ob Sea, the large body of water created by a dam on the Ob River.
Also south of the city, about 2 km north of Akademgorodok, is the open-air West Siberian Rail Museum. There are about 90 historical trains and rail cars there.
Many foreigners may find Novosibirsk gray and boring and not attractive at all, as tourism system isn't really implemented in the city. You'll never see any buses with tourists visiting the city. Yet Novosibirsk is the third biggest city in Russia, it's probably one of the most not touristic destinations in the country. You won't find a lot of touristic guides and prospects about the city. However, if you are interested in exploring real Russia and Siberia and understanding Russian culture, seeing what life in Russia is like and getting in touch with Russia and Russian household, it's a must visit place. Here are a couple of things you might do while staying there:
1. One of the things you should do is visiting Opera House (Novosibirsk State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater). Here is the link to their web-page http://www.opera-novosibirsk.ru/index.php?locale=en_us. But it's recommended to book tickets in advance. They have very nice operas and ballets and they usually play classic things. Many of the plays are known around the world and it'd be very interesting to see a sort of Siberian interpretation. The Opera House is situated on Lenin Square and you can get there by catching a subway train. There are also a lot of buses and troleybuses running to OperaHouse. The location is very central and you'll easily find it.
2. As there's a lot of snow in Siberia in winter, going skiing or ice skating could be a lot of fun in Novosibirsk. There are a lot of ice arenas in the city. Some of them are free of charge, but those don't usually rent skaters. The ones that rent skaters may be not free of charge. One of the central stadiums is "Spartak", it's quite central.
3. Try some Russian specialties, such as pancakes ("Blini") and "pelmeni"). You can either go cafes or this stuff may be found in many cafes in malls.
There are a lot of malls, shops, boutiques and stores in Novosibirsk. They offer a lot of goods from all round the world and you can have a great time while shopping. However, be careful when buying anything there - always check what you buy, before you pay. Sometimes the goods you buy may be produced not by a brand company but by a company in an Asian country that has a license for producing products under this brand name. Sometimes the quality of these goods doesn't correspond to the quality of the original brand. This may be especially applied to the European brands. For example, the same scents may have a different aroma in Novosibirsk and somewhere in Europe. It doesn't mean that the goods have bad quality and you shouldn't shop. But be careful if you want to purchase anything. You could have a lot of fun if you go to markets like Central Market ("Центральный рынок") or "Baraholka". There you'll see people from around the world selling stuff that is not brand but it may have a good quality. Be careful there as well, as you may run into pocket pickers. You may even find some local food there and try some specials. There are a lot of different markets in the city but the most famous are Central Market and Baroholka. You may buy nothing there but what you see, you'll see nowhere in the world. It literally looks like an Asian market with only difference it's in the Russian way.
Many cafés and restaurants offer paid (and free) Wi-Fi all over the city.
Visa Centers
Stay Safe
While it's better to stay away from some run-down areas the overall situation is not bad. Pervomayskiy rayon and far-off neighborhoods of Leninskiy and Kirovskiy rayons should be avoided at any time.
The safest place is the center (nearby Lenin Square), stay there and you will be all right.

Placer County citizens elect the Board of Supervisors by district to four-year terms, to govern the county. Supervisors' terms are staggered — two Supervisors are elected in one general election, and three Supervisors in the next.
The Board usually meets every other Tuesday at the County Administrative Center in Auburn, at 175 Fulweiler Avenue in Auburn. The Board also meets in North Lake Tahoe three or four times per year. The Board will occasionally schedule meetings at night or in another location, depending on County business and public needs.
All decisions must be made in sessions open to the public except for decisions regarding confidential personnel, labor and legal issues. On closed session matters, official actions must be reported. For specifics about Board meetings, call the Clerk of the Board at 530-889-4020.
The Board hires the County Executive Officer to carry out the policy decisions they make and to be responsible for day to day operations of the county. They also hire County Counsel, Gerald O. Carden, the county's legal advisor.
Voters elect other officials, including:
While they're also county elected officials, the Superintendent of Schools and Superior Court judges work for other agencies, and are not part of Placer County government.

California water authorities are killing salmon and destroying farming. They're endangering shorebirds, threatening city taps and quite possibly raising the crime rate.
That's a sampling of the four dozen comments and protests on the website of the State Water Resources Control Board about emergency water management after the driest winter in decades.
From all over California, farmers, environmental lawyers, wildlife groups, cities and even the Fresno County sheriff have posted thoughts in a siege of protests to state officials about the use of this year's puny snowpack and half-empty reservoirs.
"This year is a whole new level of crazy," said Ara Azhderian of the San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority, representing many farmers who are forecast to get zero water this year.

Besides fear, exactly what is setting everybody off?
Mostly, it's about river water allowed to reach the Pacific Ocean through the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta -- a perennial California argument filled with suspicion, lawsuits and politics.
San Joaquin Valley farm groups say too much water has been allowed to escape to the ocean for nature, robbing the multibillion-dollar agriculture industry.
Environmental and fishery groups say agriculture is manipulating the drought crisis to extract delta water, exposing even nonthreatened fish and the fishing industry to catastrophic losses.
The argument spilled into the spotlight in February and March, oddly because storms finally began hitting the state after a sunny, disappointingly dry December and January.
The February and March storms caused river flow through the delta to spike. And the fight over the extra flow was on.
Farmers held massive rallies and pressured lawmakers, pointing to huge increases of outflow both months. Fishing groups and environmentalists wrote impassioned media releases and publicly lambasted officials who allowed some increase in pumping.
In the middle of the fray, state and federal agencies were walking a tightrope, emphasizing protection of public health and safety while balancing the other water needs.
Since Gov. Jerry Brown declared a drought emergency in January, water leaders have been working daily on adjustments in the state's water system -- each of which triggers more angst.
In a state defined by water wars, this year stands out.
"This is a big one," said Les Grober, assistant deputy director at the State Water Resources Control Board, the arbiter of California water rights. "We get many issues before us, but this is a very dry year. People are very worried."
Read more about state's drought response
Government scientists say it's important to understand that the Sacramento and the San Joaquin, the state's two longest rivers, are the hub of the water supply for 3 million acres of farmland and 25 million residents.
At the same time, the two rivers hold out damaging salt from the briny Pacific Ocean. The rivers must continue to flow into the ocean or the delta's water will be spoiled for people, farms and wildlife.
Nobody disputes the need, but the storms in February and March caused the outflow to peak more than three times higher than it had been flowing at the time. Grober said the delta needed a good flushing to push out ocean salt from previous dry months. Pumping did not greatly increase.
So how much water should flow to the ocean and how much should go into the massive state and federal export pumps in the south delta?
It's a moving target, depending on tides, the presence of federally protected fish, such as salmon, drought conditions and other factors, scientists say. Farm water leaders continue to push for more detail.
"Should that balance be 80-20 -- 80% going out and 20% being pumped?" asked Azhderian. "That was the split in February and March. There's a lot more involved in the question, but is that really equitable?"
Valley farmers who rely on water from the federal Central Valley Project and the State Water Project are fallowing hundreds of thousands of acres this year.
On Friday the state announced it would allow farmers and cities to take 5 percent of their allocation from the State Water Project. The decision was made because of the February and March storms. That will have little effect for growers in the central San Joaquin Valley, however. In the Valley, farmers in Kern County are the main recipients of SWP water, but growers in Merced, Madera, Fresno, Tulare and Kings counties rely on the fedeal system.
Environmentalists say the picture is much bigger than river flow through the delta. It should include water captured and stored at huge reservoirs, such as Oroville and Shasta in Northern California.
The water in storage may help in the future, but it is nonetheless prevented from flowing out to the ocean, said conservation biologist Jon Rosenfield of the nonprofit Bay Institute in San Francisco.
The Bay Institute estimates 60% of the water from rain and snow is going to those needs, not into the delta.
"Water deliveries and storage have been increased at a time when protection has been decreased for fish that are going extinct," said Rosenfield. "That just doesn't make sense."
The fish vs. farm debate dominates headlines, but commenters to the state board raised many other issues surrounding the drought and river flow.
For instance, on the tributaries to the San Joaquin River -- Merced, Stanislaus and Tuolumne rivers -- many worry about a proposal to relax rules requiring spring water releases from reservoirs for fish.
Keeping that water in storage would be a hedge against continued drought, but both habitat and farmers downstream would suffer without the water, opponents say.
In the delta, residents are extremely concerned about their communities as water cutbacks continue, said Janet McCleery of Discovery Bay, a community of about 14,000, west of Stockton in the delta.
"We're just trying to protect our home and life," she wrote in an email, "and trying to save the salmon and local delta farmers while we're at it."
In Fresno County, drought and a zero allocation of Northern California river water will mean unemployment rates could climb to 50% in some towns, Sheriff Margaret Mims wrote to the state water board. Crime could become a bigger problem as a result, she said.
"There is a clear link between unemployment and public safety, and thus between water shortages and public safety," Mims wrote. "I urge the board to consider that link and the predictable consequences of a further reduction of already inadequate water supplies before imposing further cuts in the name of health and safety."

#61737lw - SUBARU IMPREZA TYPE A LIGHTWEIGHT (190MM)
Lightweight version of the Subaru Impreza Type A body shell. The
lightweight version of this shell is at least 30g lighter than the
standard version!
The following bodies are also available in a lightweight version:
Ultimate Racing Performance
The HB Subaru Impreza Type A body was designed, tested, and proven on the race track.
The HB design staff and team drivers tested extensively using several different body shapes and aerodynamic variations.
The result of our testing is the "Type A" configuration that outperformed the other versions in terms of aggressive steering response and high corner speed.
The HB Subaru Impreza Type A is optimized for use with front spool set-ups found on most high performance touring cars.
High Performance Aerodynamic Features
The Type A body looks great, but it's not just about looks. The bulges on the front bumper gave the body quicker initial turn-in steering, and the spoiler on the read deck gave the body extra stability during our track testing.
Smooth front bumper with a large splitter for high downforce and high efficiency.
Flat side panels for consistent stability on the track, reinforced to resist deflection at high speed.
The large wing mounts transfer more down-force from the wing to the ground for increased traction.
Direct Fit on the HB TC Chassis
Direct fit body post marks for the Cyclone TC chassis make mounting this body quick and easy.
Calibrated marks allow you to cut the wheel arches forward or backward to match the wheelbase of your chassis.
Extended mounting lines allow you to accurately move the body forward or backward on the chassis for fine tuning the handling of the car.
Standard Features
Crystal clear polycarbonate for light weight and high durability. Paint it with your own custom race colors!
Vinyl decals with headlights, grills, tail lights and official logos.
Window masks and overspray film to help make painting the body quick and easy.
Wheel center marks help you cut the wheel arches for all brands of cars.
High downforce clear polycarbonate rear wing with multiple side plates and cut lines.
Wing mounting hardware and double sided tape for attaching the wing side plates.
Designed to meet the rules and regulations of racing organizations. (Check with your racing organization for a list of approved bodies)
Officially Licensed SUBARU Body
The HB Subaru Impreza Type A (190mm) body is an officially licensed product that is based on the world famous Subaru Impreza.
For Maximum Performance
The performance of the HB Subaru Impreza Type A will be maximized by reducing the gap between the body and the front bumper, especially on high speed race tracks.

Hookers Brawdy?
Pimps are extremely great at torture, they are extremely great at manipulation. Many of them will do things such as wake you in the midst of the evening having a gun for your head. Other people will faux they worth you, and you're feeling like, "I'm Cinderella, and right here arrives my Prince Charming". They appear so sweet and so charming and so they let you know: "You just need to do that something for me and after that you will reach the great component." And also you believe, "My lifestyle has currently been so difficult, what is a bit much more?" However you by no means at any time do reach the great component. When individuals explain prostitution as becoming some thing that's glamorous, sophisticated, like within the tale of Fairly Lady, nicely that does not arrive near to it. A prostitute may rest with 5 strangers each day. Throughout a yr, that is much more than one,800 males she's getting sexual activity or oral intercourse with. They are not associations, no-one's bringing me any bouquets right here, believe in me on that. They are utilizing my physique just like a bathroom.
And also the johns - the customers - are violent. I have been shot 5 occasions, stabbed thirteen occasions. I do not know why these males attacked me, all I understand is the fact that culture produced it comfy for them to complete so. They introduced their anger or psychological sickness or what ever it had been and so they determined to wreak havoc on the prostitute, understanding I could not visit the law enforcement and when I did I would not be taken critically.

Sweet Charity
Brad Thompson is, well, no one really knows. Remember, in the old Marvel G.I. Joe comics, that pilot everyone knew but could never remember what he looked like or his name? That's who…wait, who am I talking about? Oh, right, that is who Brad Thompson is. We think, or he's DB Cooper, maybe JD Salinger, or even Jimmy Hoffa. All we know for sure is…
Wait, what?

Flat Rock
'Deathtrap' begins run this week at FRP
The thriller "Deathtrap" opens at 8 p.m. Thursday at Flat Rock Playhouse Mainstage, 2661 Greenville Highway in Flat Rock.
"Deathtrap" is about Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway thrillers, who is struggling to overcome a dry spell that has left him with a string of failures and a shortage of funds. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from a student in the seminar he has been conducting at a nearby college — a thriller that Sidney recognizes immediately as a potential Broadway hit.
Sidney's plan, which he devises with his wife's help, is to offer collaboration to the student, an idea which the younger man quickly accepts. Thereafter, suspense mounts steadily as Sidney's intentions are revealed and the plot begins to twist and turn, leading to a startling conclusion.
"Deathtrap" holds the record for the longest running comedy-thriller on Broadway and was also nominated for a Tony Award for Best Play.
The show is directed by Don Stephenson.
The cast is Garrett Long (Myra Bruhl), Michael MacCauley (Sidney Bruhl), Peggy J. Scott (Helga Ten Dorp), Jarid Faubel (Clifford Anderson) and longtime Playhouse favorite Ralph Redpath (Porter Milgrim).
Performances are 8 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and 2 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, through Sept. 15. All tickets are $35.

WNC author writes children's book
Western North Carolina writer Victoria S. Blake had always dreamed of writing a children's book, having worked more than 20 years as an elementary school office administrator. While accompanying a group of grade school children on a field trip to the Biltmore Estate, she was inspired to pen a story about Cornelia Vanderbilt and her best friend.
"My Days with Nell" is a heartwarming story of life in the early 1900s in America's largest privately owned home, the Biltmore House. Illustrations by Virginia Palmer bring to life the main character, Lilly Staton.
In the story, Lilly and her parents travel to the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains to receive treatment for Lilly, who has tuberculosis. Cornelia Vanderbilt, the only child of George and Edith Vanderbilt, befriends Lilly.
The two friends are soon joined by Ellen Jorith, an African-American child, also recovering from tuberculosis.
"My Days with Nell" portrays the Vanderbilts as compassionate, caring people and faithful friends.
The book release is scheduled for Sept. 1. Visit www.gratefulsteps.org, www.mydayswithnell. blogspot.com or call 828-277-0998 for more information.

Puppy 4 Beta Bugs
Subject description: Dingo feedback
correct page for Barrys release notes:
(wrong page on Barry's Blog)
Also on the page I think this 'humorous mistake' is 'numerous' (so to speak)
Humerous hardware-related and system-related improvements
Another funny thing (good) Seamonkey (that Puppy workhorse)
is upgraded to 1.1.8 and I can use Stumbleupon again - hooray
wiki page for download,
, updates
New themes, New progs
Stable enough for daily usage
Testing now underway.
Have fun
Dingo is Wild (
bring back the crazy citrus theme as default
- ahem . . . well OK maybe not . . . I liked it . . .)
I also almost immediately changed the JWM theme to Vistablack - now that is stylish . . . (Menu/Desktop/JWM configuration - choose a JWM theme)
add popular progs to Dingo Beta with LIT

* Lock doesn't appear to work. This is displayed in the orange window:
xlock: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
* Gxine dies when attempting to edit the preferences. A window appears with:
Fatal Error
Segmentation Fault
* Has the copy to RAM threshold changed? I have 224 MB and it didn't happen.
* Blinky seems to be using about 2x as much RAM as I'm used to seeing.
* There is what looks like a battery monitor in the JWM tray. It isn't displaying anything. I am not using a laptop. Check it out (attachment).

I got the same errors reported by floborg. The battery indicator works on my laptop when I do a acpi=force while booting.
In addition these are the
bugs I noticed:
1 - Default network wizard will not connect to my WEP encryped wireless router even though it always gives "connection succesful" message. Then I tried Pwireless wireless scanner and this worked at the first shot.
2 - Icon missing for "Auto connect to wireless network" under network.
3 - Hotpup drive icon settings always says "Sorry failed to apply new mode, restoring old". But when we restart X after changing icon irientation, it works.
4 - Fotox does not work from the menu. If we type Fotox at console, it works. I guess the menu must be pointing to /usr/share/fotox/fotox instead of /usr/local/fotox/fotox
5 - When we change the jwm theme and restart jwm, there is an additional instance of blinky that pops out of the tray and also shows on the taskbar.
6 - When I shutdown, it does not give me an option to save. It directly gives me a message that "session not saved". I ran using frugal and not from a cd.
7 - Two extra profiles (alex and something else) are seen in the wireless section of network wizard.
My common tasks:
Abiword worked
Gnumeric worked
Gxine plays my video streams (even though fullscreen issue is still there, maximizing it makes it work)
Seamonkey works with Flash websites that I visited.
I liked this theme much better than the citrus theme as it is pleasing to the eyes for prolonged use. I must admit that the citrus gives a very good initial impression.

Post subject: "pfix=ram" doesn't work.
Subject description: Kernel panics.
With Puppy 398 I tried booting my Gateway 2000, 64 MB + 200 MB Linux swap,
and it Kernel panics when searching for Puppy files.
I tried again, with "puppy pfix=ram", but it still searched for Puppy files, and Kernel paniced again!
I had no troubles like this at all with Puppy 396.
I'm monitoring #puppylinux as eddie-Gateway2K.

Noticed these bugs
1. Very minor bug.
# jwm -p
JWM: warning: /root/.jwm/jwmrc-theme[32]: invalid tag in TrayStyle: Height
Remove the line 32 on the jwm themes, Gradient-grey and the Original, so the Tray management>Tray Height Option will work in JWM Configuration Manager.
2. When you start xorg with 1280x1024, it stays at 1024x768 until you go back in to xorgwizard and play with the refresh rate, setting it to a lower level.
Overall very nice. Good Luck, Kal
PS: #1 has been fixed by Barry for Beta 2, Thank You

Shouldn't it be mentioned in the release notes that Puppy 4 has scanner support?
It seems that Barry has moved his target: From being best of the tiny penguins, to compete with the heavyweighters.
I'm mentioned in the release notes. Yippi, I have to print it for my mum. (even though she doesn't know zigbert.)

Nice! Everything seems to work for me except the menu-Fotox and an initial GRUB stage1.5 read error, probably due to some cr*p left on that old HD.
Personally, prefer a Caribbean beach scene, but the snowy mountains have a nice class.

Post subject: 3.97 boot broke, too...
Ok. On my Gateway 2000, 64 MB RAM, 200 MB Linux swap:
Puppy 3.96, k22.214.171.124:
CD boots, installs, runs fine.
Puppy 3.97, k126.96.36.199 &
Puppy 3.98, k18.104.22.168:
CD boot, searching for Puppy files:
kernel panics.
CD boot "puppy pfix=ram",
still searches for Puppy files,
and still kernel panics.
Could a Puppy 3.98, k2.6.23.xx, be made available?
Thank you,

There's no services in Ayttm service selection drop-down box. Missing plugins, I presume?
It would be nice, if Puppy could detect, if a system has battery or not, and show/hide battery meter automatically.

Spent the morning looking at this installer issue in some detail. It seems that it is limited to some HD (Fujistu, especially), some chipsets (SiS) and some cables (80w). Having said that, the effect is reproducible. But very much stranger. Doing a full install with all those items - will not boot - gives the GRUB error message. However, switching the drive to a P4 board and a 40w cable produces a normal boot up, even from an apparently 'failed' installation without further modification. Swapping the cable from 80w to 40w and/or IDE channel also produces a normal boot. Most of the time has been spent double checking cables, drives - including debug wiping, jumpers, IDE controllers found nil defective components.
ipso facto
, this is another artefactual effect to look out for with certain equipment. Not a problem for me - just swap HW, but those with less kit or intolerant spouse should beware!

Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe caused a stir last Wednesday when he announced, at a press conference, that the U.S. Postal Service would stop Saturday delivery of letters, bills and magazines starting in August.
The move prompted criticism from the letter carrier's union and confusion in Washington, D.C. as to whether Donahoe had the authority to make the change on his own. The USPS operates in a jurisdictional gray area, receiving no tax money but subject to Congressional oversight. It is mandated by Congress to serve every house in the country - no matter how remote - to deliver six days a week.
Donahoe argued that public opinion was on his side - 70 percent of Americans supported dropping Saturday delivery in a July 2012 New York Times/CBS News poll - and that he had no other choice given unyielding financial woes. Although it turned a profit as recently as 2006, the Postal Service has been hemorrhaging money ever since. It recorded a loss of nearly $16 billion last year alone (or $36 million a day). The move to a five-day week is expected to save the agency an annual $2 billion.
Shelley Rullestad, postmaster at the Cortez Post Office, said he thought Donohoe's announcement was meant to be a catalyst for Congress to act. A reform bill passed the U.S. Senate last April but stalled in the House of Representatives. Congress adjourned just after the new year, leaving the problem unsolved.
"We're required by law to do things in this day and age that don't make good business sense," Rullestad said, referring to the $5.5 billion the USPS is obligated to pay into a fund each year since 2006 for future retiree health benefits. "No other agency, private or government, is required to do that."
The benefits have grown so burdensome that the Postal Service missed and defaulted on its payments twice in 2012.
Rullestad said dropping Saturday delivery is a sensible move given the decline in mail volume. As email replaces handwritten letters, magazine subscriptions go electronic, and online bill pay and banking gain in popularity, yearly circulation continues to drop. From a peak of 213 billion items in 2006, the USPS processed 160 billion last year.
Package delivery, however, is on the rise, driven by e-commerce retailers like Amazon and eBay.
"A large and growing part of our business is packages. We will continue to deliver those (on Saturdays)," Rullestad said.
Prescription drugs will still be delivered on Saturdays too, as will letters sent via Priority Mail or Express Mail.
If Congress does not intervene to stop Donahoe's gambit, one local issue to be ironed out is circulation of the Cortez Journal. Currently, subscribers outside the Cortez city limits have their newspaper dropped off by the Postal Service along with other mail. An end to Saturday service would mean not receiving the paper until Monday.
The Journal is studying several options for distributing the Saturday edition in a timely manner.
"We've known Saturday mail delivery eventually would be discontinued," said publisher Suzy Meyer. "Now we know when, if Congress lets this plan go forward. We have time to implement a strategy that will serve our readers and advertisers."
Rullestad agreed, saying the five-month window will allow companies that currently rely on Saturday delivery to "develop contingency plans."
Rullestad didn't believe any local layoffs of career carriers were imminent because of the five-day change, but said the need for "rotating carriers," also called T-6 carriers, would be diminished. Currently, rotating carriers fill gaps on days the full-time carriers are off.
In recent years the Postal Service has tried to trim costs by limiting hours of operation and streamlining its workforce. Under political pressure, Donahoe last May backed off a proposed plan to shutter and consolidate 3,700 smaller locations, instead opting to reduce hours. Offices in Rico, Lewis, Yellow Jacket and Pleasant View were among those to survive calls for closure.
More than 280,000 USPS positions have been eliminated since 2000 via layoffs, retirement incentives and attrition.

Stories about Australia
When the water became nice and cool, so did Bondi
Bondi was still a grim place as recently as 20 years ago, says book publicist Jaki Arthur, who has lived in a 1930s Tamarama apartment, just south of Bondi, for a decade.
Search and you'll find groovy in Melbourne
What I love about Melbourne is that nothing is predictable or ordinary, especially in the laneways; "The harder it is to find, the groovier it will be," says one local.
How Melbourne awoke its Sleeping Beauties
Some of Melbourne's laneways have become highly successful, transformed from forgotten back streets into prime real estate.
Bondi Beach: a place you either love or hate
I have never gotten used to Bondi's swathe of concrete and cars, but there is much to love when you look beyond them.
Playing with the blond Aussie gods
Bondi Beach is a pioneer in the only culture for which Australia has become well known: surf culture.
That time a Banksy piece got scrubbed off a Melbourne wall
Street art is by nature temporary, as Melbourne City Council found to its cost in 2010. A priceless stencil of a parachuting rat by British artist Banksy, whose pieces can sell for six figures, was painted over by council cleaners sent to scrub up Hosier Lane.
Surfers' tales of U-Boats and ironing boards
Holding its own alongside Hawaii and California as the home of surfing, Bondi in Sydney has seen a host of local legends.
Finding happiness in Melbourne's laneways
Melbourne's inner city laneways, narrow brick alleys which were languishing for decades, are now one of the city's biggest attractions. Some have become highly successful, transformed into prime real estate.
How far can you wear your underpants from Bondi Beach?
"How Far Can You Wear Your Underpants from the Beach?" asked Australian cinematography John Biggins in a tongue-in-cheek film shot at Bondi Beach, Sydney.
Permanent holiday mood all year round
Hello Bondi, an Australian icon that is a magnet for visitors from all over the world, drawn to its famous beach and surf culture. But among the tourist-packed main street and the masses baking in the sun lives a community of creative, chilled-out and long-term locals who enjoy the permanent holiday mood all year round.

So, I attempted to make my own. Since then I have seen this same picture all over pinterest but haven't found a tutorial yet. So here is my tutorial on how to make this simple pillow.
You will need:
Fabric for your pillow case (I used a drop cloth)
Pillow insert
Gray felt or fleece
Small white pom poms
Sewing machine
Fabric glue
First make a simple pillow case as was demonstrated here. Put your pillow inside the pillow case. Next, cut out your leaves. I didn't use a pattern, I just eyeballed the size and shape. For my 16" pillow I cut out about 50 leaves.
Once your leaves are cut out lay them out on your pillow in a dot-to-dot fashion. This allows you to establish the circle shape of your wreath and then you can add to them from there. Be sure and get a birds eye view so that your circle is centered.
Now if you are a mad sewer it would probably be best to stitch your leaves on (from top to bottom like a stem). I am no mad sewer so I used fabric glue. Be generous, and glue your leaf circle down. Then add to it. I just put them on in a random fashion as I thought they looked best.
Once you have glued all your little leaves in place, glue on your pom poms. Again, use a generous dollup and push in place.
And now you have a jump on your holiday decorating! This really is a simple project. It only took about an hour, start to finish! Have fun!
