Fork-tailed Flycatcher
The Fork-tailed Flycatcher, Tyrannus savana, is a passerine bird of the tyrant flycatcher family, and is the member of a genus typically referred to as kingbirds.
Description and ecology
This bird occurs in a wide variety of habitats including pastures, riparian forests, and open residential areas with scattered trees. Its breeding range is from central Mexico to central Argentina. In most of this range it is usually found year-round, but in the southern parts of its range it retreats northward for the winter. This species is also known to wander widely. It occurs almost annually in the eastern United States seaboard and Canada.
This flycatcher builds a shallow cup nest 1–10 m high in a shrub or short tree. Females normally lay 2 or 3 eggs.
The Fork-tailed Flycatcher is white below, gray above and has a black cap. Males sometimes show a yellow crown stripe. Males also have an extremely long forked tail, of even greater length than that of their cousin, the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher. Females have a somewhat shorter tail, while it is significantly shorter in juveniles. Males are 37–41 cm (15-16 in) in length; females, 28–30 cm (11-12 in), including tail. They weigh only 28–32 g (1-1.1 oz), much less than closely related kingbirds half the total length of this species. The fork-tailed flycatcher has the longest tail relative to body size of any bird on earth.[1] The tail in adult males is 2-3 times longer than the length of the bird from the bill to the base of the tail.
This species is primarily an insectivore, but will switch to berries and small fruits during winter if insects become scarce.

Pedestrians versus motor vehicles — know the laws
I haven't written an article dealing with pedestrian rights since last year, and from feedback I have been receiving, it is time to review some of the applicable laws for both pedestrians and motor vehicles. Following are answers to various situations that I hope are helpful to everyone to better understand how these laws apply.
1. At a residential village intersection, with no crosswalks painted on either street and controlled by stop signs on the busier of the two streets, a pedestrian is positioned to cross the busier street. What rights does the pedestrian have?
Answer -?First, the pedestrian cannot step into the street when an approaching vehicle is so close as to be unable to stop. However, any vehicle far enough from the pedestrian to be able to stop must do so, yielding the right-of-way to the pedestrian.
2. A driver approaching an intersection and facing a green light intends to make a left turn. There are no vehicles approaching from the other direction, but there is a pedestrian about to cross the street that the driver wishes to turn into. Who must yield to whom? Answer – because the motorist is turning, he/she must yield to the pedestrian who is crossing on a green light. The same would be true for the driver turning right, who also must yield to any pedestrian crossing the street into which the driver is turning.
3. A pedestrian wishes to cross a street in the middle of the block. What rights does this pedestrian have? Answer – The pedestrian has NO rights in this situation. He/she must wait for traffic to be clear in both directions, and be able to complete the cross without interfering with any motor vehicle. The pedestrian must also yield to bicycles.
4. A pedestrian is crossing an intersection controlled by a three-color traffic light but without pedestrian signals. When may the pedestrian cross? Answer?-?when the street he/she is crossing has a red signal, and the street he/she is walking along has a green signal, the pedestrian may cross. In this case, similar to example No. 1, any motor vehicle or bicycle turning right or left on a green light must yield the right-of-way to the pedestrian.
5. A pedestrian must cross a street at a signalized intersection that also has a pedestrian walk signal. Is it legal for the pedestrian to cross against the pedestrian signal but with the green light?
Answer -?NO! If the intersection has a pedestrian signal, the only time the pedestrian may legally cross is when he/she has a "walk" signal.
6. At a fully protected intersection, complete with pedestrian walk signals, may the pedestrian cross diagonally upon receiving the "walk" signal? Answer – NO! It is illegal to cross any intersection diagonally unless the intersection is signed and has pavement markings to allow diagonal crossing. No intersection that I am aware of anywhere in upstate New York allows diagonal crossing (This is referred to as "Jay Walking").
7. A pedestrian is crossing a four-lane street on a marked crosswalk but not controlled by a traffic signal. A motor vehicle in the inside lane has stopped to allow the pedestrian to cross. Can a vehicle traveling in the same direction as the stopped vehicle but in the outside lane continue across the crosswalk?
Answer?- NO! If any vehicle is stopped for a pedestrian, it is illegal to pass that stopped vehicle in another lane.
The preceding are just several examples of some common situations that deal with pedestrians versus motor vehicles. Hopefully this is helpful to everyone.

Palestinian-Israeli Conflict
"Jerusalem should be a symbol of harmony, of peace between the three monotheistic faiths. A city closed to the any of the followers of the three monotheistic religions is a catastrophe "
"Jerusalem is a city that unites Muslims, Christians and Jews in equality"
"Fifty seven states do not recognise Israel; that's a third of UN member-states. The reason is the continuation of the occupation and the absence of a peace settlement."
"Peace will not be achieved in this region unless the Palestinians gain their right to statehood, and Israel will not achieve real security unless the Palestinian people also achieve security and a decent life in an independent state "
"The solution to the conflict lies in an end to the occupation and in the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on national Palestinian soil "

A luxurious, nutrient-rich moisturizing treatment. Specially formulated with Black Seed Oil, traced back to the Assyrians and ancient Egyptians for its smoothing, skin perfecting properties. Wild Honey soothes the skin, while Apricot Oil helps moisturize and nourish. Leaves hands feeling soft and supple.
Humble Beginnings: Nubian Heritage is the brainchild of two New York street vendors. In 1992, fresh out of college and without jobs, Rich and Nyema embarked on a mission to produce luxurious natural products from traditional African recipes with organic and fair trade ingredients. Today Nubian Heritage offers hundreds of culturally authentic natural products inspired by global ancient healing philosophies. Although Nubian Heritage products are no longer made in bath tubs, little else has changed; the company still makes its products itself, still uses fair trade and organic ingredients and stilll invests in community commerce.
Heritage: Black Seed Oil, Nigella Sativa, can be traced back more than 3000 years to the Assyrians and ancient Egyptians. Discovered in the tomb of King Tutankhamen, Black Seed oil was reportedly used by Queen Nefertiti to maintain her exquisite complexion. Black Seed earned the Arabic approbation "habbatul barakah" the seed of blessing for its powerful curative properties in traditional medicine. Honey has been used historically as a natural anti-septic in balms and salves to comfort and soothe skin, reduce redness and heal wounds.

The scent of this cream is sultry and somewhat exotic, makes me feel like I'm somewhere in Africa or Morocco. The first ingredient is shea butter so it is pretty moisturizing and I also found that it does good job moisturizing my cuticle as well as my hands which is important. The skin soaks up the cream fast and there is no slippery feeling. Though the strange thing about consistency that it is not "creamy", it is rather mousse-like, it kind of turns into something more watery once on the skin. I prefer creamier products.

Way to smelly.

Way to smelly.
I am really disappointed by this product. It claims to be completely natural with no added smell, but I have a hard time believing this. I put it on, and my hands still smelled 2 days later even after washing my hands thoroughly immediatly after I applied it since the smell was WAY to strong for my taste. I will not recommend this if you do not want to smell incredibly strong.
Smell is unbearable, does not smell natural!!

I purchased this product because of its focus on natural ingredients! In particular, I want to avoid synthetic smelly fragrance......much to my disappointment, the smell was so strong and un-natural that it made me feel unwell and I had to wash it off. The texture is nice, but it's a shame about the horrible smell.....had to give it away! Waste of my money!
Smells like some kind of ointment.

Groups plan to resume their efforts after an injunction erases fears.
By ALISA ULFERTS
Published August 29, 2006
What happens now?
The state plans to appeal the preliminary injunction to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals but hasn't decided whether to ask for a stay of the injunction while it appeals.
In the meantime, voter advocacy groups are free to conduct voter registration drives without worrying about the fines.
The case is scheduled to go to full trial later this year, but it's possible, given the findings in Monday's ruling, that the plaintiffs will ask for a summary judgment in their favor.
A Florida law that imposes crippling fines on civic groups that mishandle voter registration cards is unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled Monday.
The law, which calls for fines of up to $5,000 per incident and holds volunteers liable if their organizations can't pay, has a "chilling" effect on the constitutional rights of speech and assembly, U.S. District Judge Patricia A. Seitz wrote in her order granting a preliminary injunction.
Seitz noted that voter advocacy groups such as the League of Women Voters of Florida halted all voter registration drives because they feared the fines could bankrupt them.
The judge added that the law unfairly exempts political parties.
"While the court is extremely reluctant to set aside an enactment of the Legislature, given the magnitude of plaintiff's First Amendment freedoms at stake in this case, the Third-Party Voter Registration Law's civil penalties scheme and exclusion of political parties is unconstitutional," Seitz ruled.
A full trial is scheduled for later this year, but a spokesman for the Division of Elections said the state won't wait that long to challenge Monday's ruling.
"We respectfully disagree with the decision and will appeal the injunction," said spokesman Sterling Ivey.
Meanwhile, third-party groups are free to conduct registration drives without worrying about the fines. Cindy Hall, president of the Florida chapter of the labor union AFL-CIO, a plaintiff in the case, said she has sent a memo to all her branch organizers to crank up voter registration efforts.
"I'm encouraging them because we only have a month to go" before the Oct. 9 deadline to register for the November general election, she said.
The League of Women Voters of Florida, which typically registers thousands of voters every election year, suspended its registration drive for the first time in its 67-year history, said president Dianne Wheatley-Giliotti.
"This is a win for Florida voters and a reaffirmation of the critical role civic groups play in helping tens of thousands of unregistered citizens come into the process and become voters every year," Wheatley-Giliotti said.
Under the law, which went into effect on Jan. 1, the state would have imposed a mandatory fine of $250 for every voter registration form submitted more than 10 days after the form was collected from a prospective voter, $500 for each registration form submitted after the passing of a registration deadline, and $5,000 for each registration form not submitted at all.
The circumstances didn't matter - the groups could be fined if a fire or hurricane destroyed the applications.
And if the organization couldn't pay, the volunteer who collected the application could be on the hook.
Lawyers for the state say that the law is needed to rein in groups that mishandle applications voters entrusted to them and that the law doesn't prohibit anyone from conducting registration drives.
They said the law protects voters from showing up at the polls and discovering too late that their application was never filed.
Voter advocacy groups, including the League of Women Voters of Florida, said there is no evidence suggesting that third-party groups are likelier to mishandle voter applications than the political parties that lawmakers exempted from the fines.
In fact, they point to a letter by Okaloosa County Supervisor of Elections Pat Hollarn saying that the only late applications she received during the 2004 election cycle came from the Republican Party. Leon County Supervisor of Elections Ion Sancho testified that Democrats were the only violators in his county.
Judge Seitz took note.
"The evidence in this case does not demonstrate a significant problem with voter registration applications from third party voter registration organizations," she wrote.
The state also argued that fears of the fines are unnecessary because Secretary of State Sue Cobb has the discretion to apply or waive the fees on a case-by-case basis.
But that didn't calm the fears of third-party groups. Worried that the strict liability clause would scare away volunteers, groups including the League of Women Voters and the labor union ordered their members to stop registration drives - and then they sued.
Seitz ruled that the state failed to prove the fines were necessary, because the state already imposes criminal penalties on those who "knowingly destroy, mutilate, or deface a voter registration form or an election ballot or delay the delivery of a voter registration form or election ballot."
She also rejected the state's claim that third-party handling of voter registration forms was a problem. Rather than blame third parties for hoarding and then dumping voter forms on elections officials as part of a political strategy, Seitz blamed "a lack of preparation on the part of the supervisors of elections offices" for confusion surrounding the last-minute rush of forms before the 2004 presidential election.
Ivey, the spokesman for the Division of Elections, said the state hasn't decided whether to ask for a stay of the injunction while it appeals.

The Tunisian people inspired the world when they began the Arab Spring, changing the course of history and forging a hopeful new path for the people of the Middle East. Secretary Clinton is committed to supporting the Tunisian people succeed in their quest to realize their aspirations, in their desire for democracy, and to create economic opportunity. So, the Secretary recently directed us to do more with, and for, Tunisians.
Yesterday, the State Department hosted the first ever Tunisia Partnerships Forum, an effort to engage the Tunisian Diaspora and promote opportunities for dynamic Tunisian and American businesses looking to invest in Tunisia's bright future. Over 200 U.S. investors, business leaders, Tunisian Americans, and visiting Tunisian entrepreneurs joined representatives from the State Department, USAID, and the U.S. Overseas Private Investment Corporation to share experiences, exchange ideas, and connect with each other. It was a win-win, seeking to match Tunisian priorities with markets for American products that would create jobs for Tunisians and Americans.
As Overseas Private Investment Corporation CEO Elizabeth Littlefield put it, we are seeking to put Tunisia "on the radar and the white board of U.S. companies for the first time," and I think our timing is just right, as financial coverage from Dow Jones and Reuters from the past two days would indicate.
At the Tunisia Partnerships Forum yesterday, Tunisians and Americans came together to begin investing for the long term. You could feel the tremendous optimism and energy in the George C. Marshall hall as together we explored opportunities for growth and partnership. Investors and entrepreneurs pitched ideas for information and communications technology, tourism, franchising, and developing renewable resources and clean technology. We discussed building infrastructures that can support the visions and ingenuity of Tunisians and Americans. At its core, the Tunisia Partnership Forum is promoting economic development based on partnership, not patronage.
Secretary Clinton is pushing America's diplomats to engage in what she calls "21st Century Statecraft." And, this forum was yet another example of 21st Century Statecraft in action. Our diplomatic contacts can't just be in capitals and with foreign ministries. Change doesn't just happen in governments. Change happens through civil society. Change happens through public-private partnerships. Change happens through empowering women. Change happens through innovation and technology.
Tunisians want to be connected to global markets, and they want to connect with others around the world. More than a third of Tunisians are connected to the Internet and nearly a quarter are on Facebook. The Tunisia uprising was enabled through social media; and social media brought it directly into our homes. At the State Department we recognize social media as a key tool for advancing our diplomacy and are always seeking ways to reach wider audiences on broader topics. If you are reading this blog, it is working. And, this Friday, I will address the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research Policy Forum on Social Media and the Economy at Stanford University to discuss social media and its impact on foreign policy and the work of the State Department. Rest assured that as part of our mission here at State we are looking to harness the creativity we saw yesterday and build upon our new partnerships using innovative media and technology to build a better future for Tunisians and Americans alike. As we move forward, we will do just that. Stay tuned.
Editor's Note: This is a companion posting to Special Representative Kris Balderston's entry Tunisia Partnerships Forum -- A New Day for Tunisia.
Zharkov in the U.S.A. writes:
One should seriously doubt that the Tunisian Spring was a popular demand for "21st Century Statecraft" and more globalist control of their economy.
One may read news reports that the Tunisian merchant who burned himself to death in the street was protesting too much state control, too many regulations, too much government interference.
How that noble goal got perverted into some sort of "partnership" with America is a bit of propaganda on your part, is it not?
Is that what "Arab Spring" is all about - a popular demand for more US military bases in their countries?
Malek in Tunisia writes:
@ Zharkov
This blog post didn't imply anything about military bases or globalist control. The State Department seems full of good intentions for Tunisia, let's hope it will come to fruition.
Anyway, Tunisians are not going to accept something that is not beneficial for them. All we seek is prosperity, whether it comes from a partnership with the U.S. , France, the European Union or China.
I think we just proved we're not helpless lambs, give us some credit and be sure we will be first to sound the alarm as soon as something phony happens.
But for now, this is all promising.

Bruce Stanton Simcoe North, ON
Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his lecture this morning on aspects of constitutionality in respect to Canada and Parliament.
By way of background, I had occasion to get some literature out in play for my constituents on the question of reasonable term limits. I was aghast to learn that 98% of constituents in my riding prefer this kind of reform.
The member across went on ad nauseam about the need for constitutional amendments, provincial rights and so on. I note there is nothing in the legislation that would change the allocation of seats in the Senate.
He continued on a fairly lengthy debate on what sort of protocols would come to play about constitutional change. He must not have been listening to the government House leader when he indicated in his opening remarks on this bill that leading constitutional scholars have indicated the bill is completely constitutional and does not need an amendment.
What are the real reasons the member continues to block, delay and find excuses that have no rationale? Why does he put those issues in front of us as a way of blocking this kind of legislation that Canadians want and are looking forward to seeing in Canada's Parliament?

Brian Murphy Moncton—Riverview—Dieppe, NB
Mr. Speaker, I apologize to the hon. member on the comment about ad nauseam. I will try to get right to the point and make it very clear for him.
It is not clear that the bill is constitutional. Because the Minister for Democratic Reform says that this specific bill has been vetted by constitutional scholars, and he mentioned Dean Monahan and Peter Hogg, would suggest to me that the bill has already been put through a process through the Department of Justice, which certainly no parliamentarian here is aware of, if that is what my colleague said.
If I listened to him carefully and have it right, and subject to correction, he said that those scholars have given testimony before committee hearings on issues of Senate reform and have found this aspect constitutional. The proof is in the pudding. We will take this to committee and we will hear that evidence.
This bill has not been before committee, so those opinions will be forthcoming. We will decide whether a constitutional amendment is required. I am sorry to go on ad nauseam, but something is either constitutional or it is not.
The only way to find that out is to have nine justices of the Supreme Court of Canada unanimously say that this is constitutional, the Parliament of Canada is within its rights to ignore provincial concerns with respect to anything to do with the Senate. I would suggest that those justices, even if by obiter dictum, would suggest that a change to the Senate, which is provincial rights over a coordinated body, without any consultation from the stakeholders would not be appropriate. I am willing to bet my Confederation Debates book to the hon. member that would be the case.

10:50 a.m.
Derek Lee Scarborough—Rouge River, ON
Mr. Speaker, I very much regret the tone of debate as it began with the words of the government House leader. In laying the basis for the proposed reform, he found it necessary to slag members of the other place, suggesting that they were hacks, that they did not work for their money and that they were inept. If there is a need for reform, let us deal with it straight up without slagging the other House and without shooting the messenger.
I am one of those who believes there is a need for reform, so the objective of the bill might be laudable. The question is how we are going about it.
I want to put a question to the member for Moncton—Riverview—Dieppe, who just spoke so well.
The government House leader said that the legal basis of their purported claim to change the constitution without using the amending formula was that a change happened in Senate terms some 30 or 40 years ago. Is it not a fact that when that change happened, there was no amending formula, the Senate itself partnered in the change and there were no objections from the provinces? That context does not exist now, as I understand it, and the government is moving headlong into this. I think it is just charging toward a brick wall. The government must know it. I regret it if it does not. Therefore, I regard the bill as just posturing.
Could the member respond to my suggestion?

Brian Murphy Moncton—Riverview—Dieppe, NB
Mr. Speaker, the member is correct. It happened in 1965, when the Pearson government introduced an amendment to section 29 of the Constitution Act to create mandatory retirement age at 75 years. It was done, and the language is quite clear, unilaterally, without objection. It does not, as I said, make it constitutional because there was no challenge. It exists, and it was not challenged. That book of history was closed as of the date when we had a constitutional amendment formula passed in our country in 1982.
We are in a different playing field. If the Minister for Democratic Reform is suggesting, and the hon. member is correct, that the basis upon which the legality rests is that it was done before an amendment formula was in place, that is a bit shallow, specious and not thorough.
That is the way all legislation comes from the government. It is knee-jerk, it is without consultation and it is to get the biggest and best headline that it can get to garner its 32%. Again, 32% or 33% is what the Conservatives think all of Canada is. That is good enough for them and their math.

Brian Storseth Westlock—St. Paul, AB
Mr. Speaker, I listened to the speech of the hon. member across the way. I listened to him once again, as the Liberal Party of Canada is so fond of doing, wrap himself up in constitutional talk and rambling.
I would like to give the member a chance to not speak ad nauseam on this and to be quite clear and simple. His leader has been quite clear that he is in favour of term limits for senators. Is the member in favour of term limits for senators, yes or no?

Mr. Speaker, I cannot answer the question yes or no. Again, if the member is going to be ill, I think there are provisions in the lobby to take care of him.
The point is that the Senate itself proposed 15 years when this bill went through the Senate as Bill S-4. Then it was killed by the government when it pulled the plug on Parliament. If we are to go through all this again, there will be recommendations with respect to the number of years.
Obviously, it is a matter of debate as to whether we go to eight, twelve, fifteen, or whether we can go to anything without a constitutional amendment process. That is really the issue.
We should hear from the provinces, see what they want and talk intelligently about debate. However, if there is a gun to our heads, then all of this is for naught. It will never take effect because a constitutional amendment formula has to kick in.
Second, the government's math is always a little crazy. It says that a committee sat for 199 days and avoided a bill, or something. If the 199th day comes up and the committee sides with Conservative Senator Segal and abolishes the Senate, why does the government not just skip to that stage now, because that is what it really wants?
I suggest the Conservatives should be direct with the Canadian people and say that they do not like the Senate because it is Liberal dominated. They would plug the Senate full of Conservative senators if they wanted to pass the ever popular HST of the day, but otherwise, they have no use for it. That is my answer.

Cheryl Gallant Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke, ON
Mr. Speaker, politics will not be same in the Ottawa Valley with the announcement that Ron Tracey, co-owner and publisher of the Eganville Leader, after 51 years is calling it quits.
Ron was joined in the business by his younger brother, Gerald, who will continue the family tradition in the newspaper. The Leader is one of the few remaining family owned, independent weekly newspapers still publishing in Canada.
My supporters in Eganville tell me that this is a great cause for celebration, as Ron is known as a local Grit as opposed to his more sensible younger brother, Gerald, who has been known to uphold the Conservative cause in the Ottawa Valley.
The moving on of Ron in some ways mirrors the change in the Ottawa Valley when, after almost 70 years, I retired the previous member and his party. In Ron's case, his decision is his own.
All kidding aside, on behalf of the people of the Ottawa Valley, we wish Ron and Elaine the best in retirement.

Mr. Speaker, I was pleased to attend a number of events last week in my riding of Davenport and around the city of Toronto.
I would like to thank the Labourer's International Union of North America, Local 183, and in particular its business manager, Durval Terceira, and international vice-president, Joseph Mancinelli, for their work on the union's annual scholarship dinner which was a great success.
I congratulate the Casa dos Acores of Ontario on the opening of their new cultural centre in my riding and its president, Carlos Botelho, and his team for their excellent service to our community. I would also like to recognize His Excellency Carlos Manuel Martins do Vale César, president of the Autonomous Regional Government of the Acores, who participated in the opening of the centre and for their support of Casa dos Acores.
I also visited organizations like STOP community centre, the Working Women Community Centre and St. Christopher House which provide invaluable service to our community.
Our community is also grateful to Andrea Dawber and Gabriel Langlois of Trees Davenport for their ongoing hard work throughout the community in helping to preserve and plant new trees around the neighbourhood.
These individuals deserve our recognition and I thank them for their dedication.
Quebec International Solidarity Days

Claude DeBellefeuille Beauharnois—Salaberry, QC
Mr. Speaker, our planet is being exploited from all sides for its resources, without much consideration of impacts on its population and environment.
In that context, we hope to see all governments implement and enforce rules that are respectful of human rights and the environment globally. This is why, from November 8 to 18, the Association québécoise des organismes de coopération internationale and its members are backing the 11th Quebec International Solidarity Days, with the theme of controlling mining and logging.
I therefore encourage all members to enjoy the hundreds of conferences, film presentations, photo exhibitions and performances. On November 12, the screening of the documentary When Silence is Golden brought together more than 100 people in La Pocatière.
My hope is that all Quebeckers will become aware of international and environmental issues so that they can find tangible ways to take action and to put their efforts into building a fairer and more equitable world.
Green Communities

Paul Dewar Ottawa Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, the community of Old Ottawa East in my riding has declared itself a green community dedicated to sustainability. This community is taking leadership where the government has failed.
The Glebe Community Association has resolved the Glebe to be a pesticide free neighbourhood. Old Ottawa South has committed to renovating the Old Firehall with the highest green standards. Every community association in my riding is fighting for better public transportation, preservation of green space, green development and sustainability.
As the member of Parliament for Ottawa Centre, I support our communities' actions on the environment.
This grassroots movement is taking the lead on sustainability, but they cannot do it alone. They need sustained funding and good green policies from government. I call on the federal government to support the leadership shown by these community associations so that we may achieve a green and sustainable Canada.

Barry Devolin Haliburton—Kawartha Lakes—Brock, ON
Mr. Speaker, I want to take a moment to pay tribute to our provincial and municipal colleagues. I am lucky to have an excellent working relationship with my Queen's Park counterpart, Laurie Scott. At the municipal level I have the pleasure of working with local officials from Haliburton County, Kawartha Lakes, Brock Township and parts of Peterborough County.
While federal and provincial members spend a lot of time out of the riding in the capital, it is municipal officials who are in the coffee shops and on the main streets of our communities every single day. As such, they have an excellent sense of what is going on and what their communities need and want.
Tonight I will be attending the Haliburton County Warden's Dinner. This is an annual event that recognizes the contribution of our local officials, past and present.
While we may squabble a bit from time to time, I believe that most Canadians are well served by federal, provincial and local officials working together for the good of their communities.
Here is to our provincial and municipal colleagues across Canada. Thanks for all the great work being done.

Mr. Speaker, on October 26 the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans visited the municipality of Port Hope and announced the divestiture of the Port Hope harbour and 75 hectares of surrounding land. Port Hope will now own the property surrounding its harbour and the citizens will be able to enjoy walks along the waterfront and a planned municipal park and marina.
Mayor Linda Thompson and her colleagues on Port Hope council, as well as municipal staff, are to be commended for their great partnership in this endeavour. This is not the only example of this government's positive influence in my riding of Northumberland—Quinte West.
Many millions of dollars will be spent at CFB Trenton to improve its aging infrastructure, and the economic spinoffs to local businesses will be tremendous.
As well, our government's announcement of a panel to review the Trent-Severn Waterway has been good news to the municipalities that border this wonderful year-round natural attraction.
In short, our government is getting things done for the people of Canada and Northumberland—Quinte West.
International Day of the Imprisoned Writer

Luc Malo Verchères—Les Patriotes, QC
Mr. Speaker, November 15 was the International Day of the Imprisoned Writer, and I would like to honour the gesture of solidarity made by 10 Quebec writers who have been twinned with writers from around the world who are in prison. Yesterday, during the Montreal book fair, these 10 Quebec writers each read the dedication from one of their books, which will be sent to the prisoners or their families. Those attending the book fair can sign petitions in support of writers.
"Livres comme l'Air" was created to condemn repression and censorship. Now in its eighth consecutive year, the event is organized by the Quebec union of writers, Amnesty International and the Quebec branch of PEN, an international association of writers. Since the project was launched in 2000, 33 writers imprisoned for their beliefs have been set free.
Writers help enrich, refine, and sometimes even transform our vision of the world. Today, we should take a moment to think of those who have been silenced by force.

Mr. Speaker, last week I met with the Styba family from my riding whose 14-year-old daughter has type 1 diabetes. This disease reduces her quality of life and increases her chances of heart disease, stroke, blindness and amputation.
Canada has one of the highest rates of juvenile diabetes and the number of people with type 2 diabetes continues to grow dramatically.
I have seen the effects of diabetes first hand because my brother, Nick, is one of the more than two million Canadians who suffer from this disease.
It is for these Canadians that the Styba family has asked me to present a key to the Minister of Health and to the Minister of Finance as a symbol of the need to address this growing problem.
November 14 was the first UN recognized World Diabetes Day. I ask the ministers and this House to consider the personal costs of diabetes. We are coming increasingly closer to finding a cure, but we must act now.

Womens Sitting Drops Two Matches against Top Teams in the World

@USA_Volleyball - USAV Facebook
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (July 12, 2012) –The U.S. Women's National Sitting Team traveled to Shanghai in one of its last attempt at practice before the 2012 London Paralympics.
Team USA, ranked second in the world will face No. 1 ranked China and No. 3 ranked Ukraine in three days of double-header exhibition matches, playing each team once each day.
The U.S. held its own but unfortunately fell to both teams in hard-fought battles.
In its first match on Thursday morning the U.S. fell to China in five sets, 25-18, 25-17, 25-27, 21-25, 15-13.
"This is a grueling schedule for us but we need high level matches in our final preparations for London," head coach Bill Hamiter said. "Even though we don't often play two matches a day and never back to back the coaches wanted the teams to get as much play as possible. I realize this isn't a best case scenario but it will be good to see how our team responds.
In its second match of the day the U.S. fell to Ukraine, 17-25, 25-21, 25-20, 25-20.
"After the tough match against China I was happy to see us start out well against Ukraine," Heather Erickson said. "We lost energy and momentum in the second set and couldn't seem to get it back. We have to play at a higher level than this even when we are tired.
On Friday Team USA will play Ukraine at 11 a.m. (8 p.m. PST) and China at 1 p.m. (10 p.m. PST) and on Saturday they will conclude play against China at 11 a.m. (8 p.m. PST) and Ukraine at 3 p.m. (12:00 p.m. PST).

I just got an email today from Indeed saying:
I have been notified by my QA team that your site no longer meets our requirements for organic listings for the following reason:
• All sites must be pay to post. Your site is free to post.
As a result, Indeed has removed your organic job listings from our site. We have a high set of standards for our free organic listings and our QA team is very stringent with the requirements.
Lastly, you are still able to sponsor jobs and we can continue to work with you on your campaigns. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.
The only QA issue with my site is that it is free. I've been on Indeed for two years now with no issues.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Views: 2344
It sounds like to me you have a bone to pick with Indeed. I agree with Steven unless you have some hard data to back up your comments I would be careful about what your are claiming especially in this forum. I know for a fact of many successful partnerships with Indeed, myself included. I would hardly say they are on a path to oblivion, quite the opposite I believe.
I cannot understand the choices Indeed makes lately.
Not only they refuse to index free postings, they also refuse including into their organic results postings made by paying users.
Even more: they refuse to take hundreds of dollars per month that I offer for that.
I wish I could understand what all that means.
If this could cut down duplicate job postings, its a good direction for them.
If you have no job postings -- then obviously you would have no duplicate postings.
The primary goal for job aggregator should be to have the widest selection of jobs.
Eliminating duplicates is a secondary goal.
I'm definitely trying:
1) Job postings quality control -- done.
2) Paid postings only in the feed to Indeed -- done.
3) Pay for sponsored campaigns -- done.
Got back nothing meaningful except vague "out quality team is firm about their decision".
The was no single specific example of bad posting.
What else can I do?
I retract my statement about the use of this forum to share and learn. Yes this is definitely the right venue to discuss these issues. On that note I have worked with both Indeed and Simplyhired for the past couple of years both as a publisher and advertiser. There are certainly pros and cons to working with both. Hope this works out for you.

Power Authority Completes Transfer of Baldwinsville Maintenance Center
April 1, 2004
ALBANY—The New York Power Authority has completed the sale of a former transmission line maintenance facility to the Village of Baldwinsville for $300,000.
State Senator John DeFrancisco, who represents Baldwinsville, said, "This is a great use of surplus Power Authority property to benefit the residents of the Village of Baldwinsville. It provides a modern and spacious maintenance facility at a fraction of what it would cost to build from scratch."
Village Mayor Andrew Dryden said, "This new facility not only provides better conditions for our Public Works Department, it gives us the opportunity to redevelop our current public works site, perhaps for recreational purposes."
The village intends to use the former Power Authority building and the 12.63 acre site it is on to house its Department of Public Works staff and equipment. The Power Authority built the one-story, steel and concrete structure in 1961 to house staff and material used to help maintain a major east-west transmission line across the state. Recent changes in Power Authority procedures, including centralizing transmission maintenance at its Clark Energy Center in Marcy, made the Baldwinsville facility surplus.

Middle West Spirits adds craft vinegar to its Columbus production
The Columbus Dispatch - November 12, 2013 11:58 AM
Middle West Spirits, the Columbus distillery that makes OYO Vodka from Ohio's soft winter wheat, is teaming with a Cleveland chef to make craft vinegar.
Tavern Vinegar Co. was born in the 170-year-old stone-walled basement of Chef Jonathon Sawyer's Cleveland home. Sawyer started making vinegar from opened bottles of wine that had not been consumed by guests at his five Cleveland-area restaurants.
Meanwhile, in Columbus, Brady Konya and Ryan Lang founded Middle West Spirits in 2008 and opened the distillery for commercial production in 2010. Konya and Lang produce a line of artisan spirits that reflect Ohio's world-class agriculture, small business innovation and culinary inspiration.
The vinegar venture had grown into a line of hand-crafted, barrel-aged vinegars that include an all-Ohio malt vinegar aged in OYO Whiskey barrels. So Tavern Vinegar recently moved its production to Middle West Spirits as part of the partnership among Sawyer, Konya and Lang.
You can buy 200 ml bottles of seven craft vinegars for between $9.99 and $12.99 at Tavern Vinegar's website. You also may see the brand popping up at local restaurants, bars and retail stores.

Intel Corp.'s next-generation microprocessors will not only become available later than expected, but will ramp up relatively slowly, according to sources with knowledge of Intel's plans. Apparently, the first Ivy Bridge chips will only emerge in late April, 2012, whereas the roll-out will be completed, e.g., Ivy Bridge will be available for all market segments, late in 2012.
The world's largest maker of chips will roll out the first quad-core Core i7-3000 "Ivy Bridge" microprocessors for desktops and laptops on April 29, 2012, according to sources with knowledge of Intel's plans. The company will expand its family of 22nm microprocessors on the third of June with mobile dual-core Core i5/i7c as well as desktop quad-core Core i5 central processing units. The remaining chips, such as mobile dual-core as well as desktop Core i3, will be launched in summer and fall, respectively.
Previously, Intel planned to start selling its Ivy Bridge CPUs on April 8, 2012, but then decided to delay sales by several weeks. Interestingly, but the company still intends to initiate sales of its next-gen 7-series chipsets in early April in a bid to get ready for new processors.
Intel did not comment on the news-story and the reasons behind Ivy Bridge delay are not completely clear. Since the chip is made using brand-new 22nm process technology, it is possible that Intel ran into yield issues or the ramp of new production technology takes longer than expected for reasons that are not fully controlled by the chip giant.
Ivy Bridge will generally inherit Sandy Bridge micro-architecture and will sport a rather significant number of improvements. Firstly, it will have certain improvements that will boost its performance in general applications by around 20% compared to Core i "Sandy Bridge" chips (e.g., enhanced AVX acceleration). Secondly, the forthcoming chip will have a new graphics core with DirectX 11 and OpenCL 1.1 support, 30% higher performance compared to the predecessor as well as new video processor and display controllers. Thirdly, Ivy Bridge will feature PCI Express 3.0 x16 interconnection as well as PCIe 2.0 x4 controller. In fourth, the processor will support a number of power management innovations. The CPU is made using 22nm process technology.

If your raid can kuill ultraxion well below 5 mins you should save your recklessness for the execute phase and I think it's better to use your reckless/creche out of the pot than to let them overlap,unless you have a streak of css debuffs.
If your raid can kuill ultraxion well below 5 mins you should save your recklessness for the execute phase and I think it's better to use your reckless/creche out of the pot than to let them overlap,unless you have a streak of css debuffs.
Good morning
Recently joined a new guild and i'm full time dps until mop comes when ill go back to tanking.
They also have another arms warrior, equally geared.
What confuses me is that his damage distr. looks off on the fights he manages to beat me, while mine look decent. Look at hagara for example.
But generally what i feel myself fucking up is my opener and execute phase.
Syncing DC with creche is also something i tend to fuckup :/
I do some rotational mistakes here and there but those im aware of.
Madness, whats the best use of recklessness.
To use it as i would any normal fight, or try to cheese executes on claw ?
http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-2vmadcvizb26brae/ from saturday, they started logging halfway morchok, thats why its invalid.
Just lay it on me, i need to get smacked down and stop slacking :P
Last edited by santa666; 2012-08-05 at 12:30 PM.
From what I've seen... you seem to do better dps than him in general, but on Yor'sajh and Hagara for example you seem to get these extremely low troughs which contribute to a lower average dps... and looking at them in more detail, you didn't use your gcds effectively which suggests slack, distraction, lack of practice, one of those anyway. He seems to spam buttons, you don't D:
Also, good job on Ultraxion in general, but y u no use recklessness? (Logs doesn't indicate usage of reck)
Syncing DC with creche is something that can't always happen because of the fact that you can't control the proc... creche activates almost as soon as you enter combat, which means if you want to sync DC you'll want to use it at the start as well (which will remove the rage deficit which usually occurs when you start an encounter) and as creche has an approximate icd of 110 seconds, it fits perfectly with the cd of DC :-) On Hagara for instance, I'd say saving your DC for the 15 sec stun is a better practice than using it at the start, even though you won't be able to fit it with creche.
As for Madness... I like to save it for "cheesing executes on the claw", I think this one is personal preference, as long as you manage to fit reck 3 times in this encounter which usually lasts... 11 - 12 mins.
Also, let me tell you that 2 arms warriors for a 10 man group is a bad setup >.<
Finally, I have a feeling that you're technically a better arms warrior than him, but you can tell he's more experienced from things such as more spellweave damage due to more brostorms than you, you should plan the encounter and think of when to use your abilities, he's only beating you on fights with aoe and you don't even have blood and thunder specced or a bone-link fetish (I think) so you can forget beating him in aoe encounters D:
Hope I helped
Ye, some fights i've never been dps until this guild, (mor, war, madness) so he has bit more experience.
And on ultra, i started stacking executioner, then see him at 4%, so didnt bother, slack on my behalf
Again you're correct, yorsahj i had to run for the first time, going bit on autopilot, i choose different than what was called on vent.
We're currently 4 tanks, some switching come mop, hence the rather odd raid comp.
He does have bonelink, unsure if he was aoe specced. I have neither.
Guess i just have to practice more, with buff it doesn't matter much, but still dont enjoy being 2nd
Ty for the input

Hello, new Fury Warrior here (previously Prot/Arms). Hopefully someone sees this that can provide some insight as to why my number are so bad and I apologize in advance for this being so long. My warrior alt has always been Prot/Arms except for a brief stint before Cata (I am a main tank on my pala). I am not sure if I am just not managing my CD's and rotations properly or if this is just what I can expect with the latest changes. I'm hoping one of the warrior gurus can help me out.

Since noone as answered you in a few days, ill give it a shot.
First of all i suggest you visit the new fury sticky, well written and tons of info.
First thing i noticed is that your at 13.5% hit, the cap is 7.5, even for fury, should give you some extra stats to allocate.
The fight lasted 804 second, BT has a 4.5cd but lets say 5 to make it smoother, thats 160.8 potential BT uses, you did 97.
Thats lots of rage that could be spent on other abilities.
I've just macroed DC to HS tbh, so far i've yet to miss the 3 uses it gives.
BT and CS both can proc enrage, so if neither procced enrage, and enrage is not active, use BR.
I would use the VP trinket over EOU, specially seeing as your rocking the lfr version (VP even beats hc version).
If you're constantly near capping/capping rage you should use HS and WS more often.
You're executes on madness is lower compared to what it could be.
If i dont get a creche proc that syncs up with cataclysm, i rotate in recklessness for 600k-1,2 million crits, largest i found in your log was 500k crits.
Hope that helps, if you try asking in the sticky fury guide for mop, im sure someone can give you more detailed help there

Thanks for the advice. I made some adjustments for our clear last night and it went much better than it did previously. WoL is broken so unfortunately I cannot pull my actual numbers but watching my meters and the output I did notice a nice difference. It seemed on a few attempts that RNG didn't really like me to much. On one I pulled 62K and on another I pulled 54K even though I didn't change anything.
As for the 13.5% hit, I actually did that because I thought it would help on spine. It did, but it would suck to have to reforge every time so now I'm leaving it at 7.5
If only I could actually get a weapon or trinket upgrade, life would be good.

Is this thread still active? I'm in need of help with Fury at 90 ilvl 464, on Normal Mogu'shan Vaults. I will post more detail when confirmed that the thread is indeed still active.
Greetings, fellow warriors, brothers in arms.
Boy its been a week since people posted here...If your damage is low as a warrior, YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING WRONG. But I can help! Post your logs or send me a tell. Heck I'd even be willing to help over skype.
@ Darkfriend. I would like to offer you a challenge that would benefit the both of us.
First of all: Im Prot. Not Arms, not Fury.
So, right now we are on Gara'jal the Spiritbinder and we only lack a little bit of dps to down it. My question is about my burst with very little or zero Vengeance. The boss casts Voodoo Doll on our DK tank and then i have to wait 1 minute before it's my turn to tank (taunt immune). During this 1 minute i peak at 70k dps and end around 40k. I would like to improve this part a bit.
What I aim to do at the pull tomorrow: I prepot Str-pot, leap through the boss, taunt and stand with my back against the boss, get 1 or 2 hits before my dk taunts and get the voodoo doll. I do this to gain some Vengeance. After the taunt i swap to Battle Stance, stack 3 Sunders, fire of a Shattering Throw and finally pop Skull Banner.
Remember that im kind of in a hurry since my attack power is about to drop. I pop Reck, Bloodbath (going with Avatar tomorrow I think), Berserker Rage and Dragon Roar. When not tanking I dump rage with Heroic Strike.
The reason I use these abilities when not tanking is because the enrage timer is 6 minutes. So rather than waiting until the boss is on me to pop this i want to use it at the start in order to use Reck twice. Also we pop BL at the pull.
Is there ANY way you think I could improve my burst/overall damage?
Logs: http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-1xsdezgf9yheglh6/ . Any suggestions to spec, rotation, abilities, glyphs, anything would help, really.
final note: Im mostly going to use Shield Block tomorrow. Today i used Barrier mainly because of the large amount of Vengeance, but i'd rather get some more Enrages along with Shield Slams with Heavy Repecussion-glyph.
I'd charge first, than heroic leap, during your combo, to get the bonus rage from charge and the bonus damage from all your CDs. Make sure skull banner is down before you DR so that it benefits from the 20% crit damage bonus. Also, I think using shattering blow is only worth it during bloodlust with a lot of melee.
I havn't played prot in over a year, so can't really tell you anything else specific to prot. Are you using Heroic Throw when you have no GCD to fill?
Granted all these will be very minor DPS increases, but they are increases.
Hehe thanks for at least taking your time to look at it, mate.
Yeah usually I Heroic Leap and charge at the same time.
Im currently doing the things you've mentioned but will discuss with my BM Hunter and Rogue about Shattering Throw. Maybe i should delay it until my Vengeance hits zero. But then again, their trinketprocs and what not could be down, MEH ! I got no problems rotation wise when I'm tanking. It's this offtanking that bothers me
After some stupid wipes on Gara'jal due to low DPS tonight I wanted to see if there's any glaring improvements I can make. Here's a link to my armory, the first 2 bosses and the 2 best Gara'jal attempts:
http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/r...?s=2990&e=3375 Stone Guard
http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/r...?s=3781&e=4271 Feng
http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/r...?s=5160&e=5521 Gara'jal 1
http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/r...?s=7476&e=7837 Gara'jal 2
I went with Avatar for the fights because Stoneguard doesn't matter that much, Feng is about Phase 3 and killing him ASAP, and Gara'jal is about the sub 20% enrage (we only got there 1 time though...)
I think my Enrage uptime is at best decent. In Simcraft, it says I should have a ~74% ish uptime on a Patchwerkish boss and the closest MSV comes to the is Stone Guard, and I had 67% uptime there, but on the other fights it drops a lot (Feng due to movement, Gara'jal because of going in and out, and later on due to burnout due to no progress/stupid). I did NOT go inside at all on the best attempt (1), and in later tries when I did go inside I delayed my big damage CDs to get the most out of the buff. Given I am still learning the encounter fully and trying to completely master basic Fury I am not doing things like using Heroic Leap on single target or using the raging wind glyph.
Some of my CD usage is rather sloppy I know but I haven't gotten around to making macros just yet, redid my comp only recently.
I have 2 Dancing Steel scrolls but I am not wasting them on blue weapons, and I should be able to buy the Golden Lotus ring soon. I am not using the 250str food right now because it's rather pricy and if the other DPS aren't doing good enough 50 str isn't going to make a kill happen - not when your best attempt is ~15%.
Ah jeez, just realized I am missing crit to cloak. Crap, just got that today. And after reading some I think I am going back to Windsong.
Hello -
I'm having some trouble with my offspec, Fury.
Here's my armory:
Here's a log of my on the Feng fight:
I know my gear is lacking in many spots (it's my offspec,) but I'm wondering, based on what is in the logs, what I can do better?
I am doing some stance dancing (Battle -> Berserker) while taking damage. I am not sure if this is hurting me, but I figured it would help with rage generation.
Thank you!
The LFR trinket you have is worse than the Carbonic Carbuncle off SB last boss, the boots from SNT (last boss, the guy who blows you around) are much better than your boots, the 476 crafted chest is better than your current chest, and you should get the 476 crafted gloves. You're also missing a lot of enchants and are over hit cap by 1% and under exp cap by roughly the same amount. Dont' reforge crit unless you have to.
From your logs, one thing really stuck out to me from other people who I've helped: You make great use of your Berserker Rage to maximize your Enrage uptime. You did not clip it a single time. Good job!
Starting with your opener, I can see that you do effectively stack your CDs. However, the whole point of doing that is so your your initial Dragon Roar and Colossus phase hits incredibly hard. This is where all of that immediate burst comes from. You did about 106k burst and your opener looked like this:
Now I mean, 106k DPS is cool and all but whats even cooler is doubling or even tripling that in the first few seconds. This is where using and knowing about your CDs comes in handy. So lets look at what we have to work with.Code:[22:13:56.599] Blave casts Charge on Feng the Accursed [22:13:57.079] Blave casts Berserker Rage [22:13:57.189] Blave casts Bloodthirst on Feng the Accursed [22:13:58.679] Blave casts Colossus Smash on Feng the Accursed [22:13:59.089] Blave casts Deadly Calm [22:13:59.229] Blave casts Heroic Strike on Feng the Accursed [22:14:00.209] Blave casts Raging Blow on Feng the Accursed [22:14:00.209] Blave casts Raging Blow Off-Hand on Feng the Accursed [22:14:00.209] Blave casts Raging Blow on Feng the Accursed [22:14:00.779] Blave casts Heroic Strike on Feng the Accursed [22:14:01.679] Blave casts Bloodthirst on Feng the Accursed [22:14:01.849] Blave casts Bloodbath [22:14:02.359] Blave casts Heroic Strike on Feng the Accursed [22:14:02.909] Blave casts Recklessness [22:14:03.279] Blave casts Raging Blow on Feng the Accursed [22:14:03.279] Blave casts Raging Blow Off-Hand on Feng the Accursed [22:14:03.279] Blave casts Raging Blow on Feng the Accursed [22:14:04.689] Blave casts Dragon Roar [22:14:05.559] Blave casts Heroic Leap [22:14:06.309] Blave casts Bloodthirst on Feng the Accursed [22:14:07.779] Blave casts Raging Blow on Feng the Accursed [22:14:07.779] Blave casts Raging Blow Off-Hand on Feng the Accursed [22:14:07.779] Blave casts Raging Blow on Feng the Accursed [22:14:07.789] Blave casts Skull Banner [22:14:09.279] Blave casts Raging Blow on Feng the Accursed [22:14:09.299] Blave casts Raging Blow Off-Hand on Feng the Accursed [22:14:09.299] Blave casts Raging Blow on Feng the Accursed [22:14:10.789] Blave casts Bloodthirst on Feng the Accursed
Skull Banner - 20% Critical Damage for 10 seconds. Off the GCD.
Recklessness - 50% Critical chance for 12 seconds (30% for 18 seconds if glyphed). Off the GCD.
Deadly Calm - Reduces the cost of your next 3 Heroic Strike/Cleave by 10 rage. Off the GCD.
Bloodbath - Puts 30% of your damage done in the next 12 seconds into a ticking DoT that continues for 6 seconds after the buff expires. Off the GCD.
Dragon Roar - Guaranteed crit AoE ability that passively bypasses all armor. ON the GCD.
From here you see that Dragon Roar auto crits, meaning that using it during Reck is a waste of a GCD. Also, it bypasses all armor so you'll want to not waste a GCD during CS as well. This puts it ahead of both of those in the priority list. Skull banner makes all crits do 20% more damage so that'll have to come before DR along with Bloodbath since you want to do as much damage with it up as possible so you get that bleed hitting as hard as possible. So right now we have: Skull Banner + Bloodbath -> Dragon Roar -> Recklessness -> CS... Now as I said before, you really want to stack that Dragon Roar with as many CDs as possible. This means using str or AP trinkets just before with Banner and BB would be the perfect time.
Now that you've got that down, you'll want to hit Recklessness and then CS. Having that much crit is almost guaranteed to proc enrage every time you hit BT and most of the time when you hit CS so you're not going to want to waste a Berserker Rage while its up. All of those Enrage procs are going to give you a ton of excess rage so using Deadly Calm during Colossus is going to be most beneficial since procs and buffs are still rolling as well as it bypassing all armor. Using Heroic Leap during the first CS is a good idea as well (especially if you have it glyphed). From this point on, you go about the normal rotation of pooling rage and dumping into CS.
This same concept of CD stacking applies to execute phase as well. If you know that a CD is about to come off of its cooldown, and it will not be back up again before the bosses health reaches 20%, SAVE IT. Bloodbath, Recklessness, trinkets, Skull Banner, Avatar, anything. Save them all. This will allow your Executes to hit like a truck and you'll see a huge spike in DPS. Judging how much time you have left in an encounter before 20% takes some practice but when in doubt, just save the CDs.
Hope this helped a little and good luck with your DPS!

Pacing Diana - Page 7
In the July dawn, we looked up at an example of Hardrock's insanity. There was no trail, but rather a general direction that is flagged straight up. The first time we trained on this section, I thought I was reading the course description wrong, or my compass was off. A trail-less mountainside, a wall of loose rock. Up. Miles 86, 87, straight up. Soon, I looked back down at Maggie Gulch, and spotted Jared and his pacer filling water bottles.
Jared closed the distance. Diana was suffering, and I actually wanted Jared to pass us so she would give her body just a bit of surcease. Climbing that mountain straight up in the dawn, I remember thinking: "Oh, for a little surcease."
Yes. Surcease.
Always, after a climb, a descent. Again, we walked, even the downs. We crossed the Stony Pass jeep road, and climbed again. Diana fell down. For the first time, I asked if she was OK. She tripped, maybe, I thought. And then she fell again. Then, a dozen more times, again and again. She even fell on flat ground, where she landed on her hands and her legs moved to push her up with a mechanical groping, her feet looking for the Earth.
On downhills she fell backwards, almost every time, and her butt slid on the scree, her knees buckling to her chin. On uphills she pitched forward, and her arms raised to slowly to break the fall. On a traversing down slope she fell to the side and her hip landed on a basketball-sized pointed rock. I winced. I had to stop watching.
"I...am...fine," she said, in a choked voice ruined by hours of breathing through her mouth, a subterranean sound, it was Diana from undersea, emerging. I thought of a couple of spots where a fall would be, if not fatal, at the very least physically disastrous. I reminded her to watch her footing at those sections. I stayed close, ready to grab her if she started to fall. There were times, when I looked behind us, that Jared and his pacer were so close I could make out the expressions on their faces. I wanted them to pass us before the next aid station, Cunningham Gulch (mile 91), so that the pressure to win would be gone.
Her parents would greet us at Cunningham, and would wonder why she had slowed down, but would still be excited about a possible win. I knew our nieces in Minnesota and many friends were watching on the internet, and people were cackling in the blogosphere. There was a sense, even while we were on the course, that the ultra-world was abuzz with this effort. I just wanted a little surcease.

Giovanni,I will let everyone know what I find out. However, I suspect that the quantities will be large, particularly for the Ezzo brand. When I went to the Ezzo website, all I saw was slices, not sticks. Since they don't sell at the retail level, I can't imagine their packing the pepperoni in small packages. The Margherita pepperoni, however, is sold in stick form. It is also sold in slices, in large packages, judging from the product list. When I spoke to the gal at Ezzo the other day, she said that they don't sell to the big pizza outfits, like Domino's or Pizza Hut. She said they were a small company. So it is unlikely that you can go to one of the big guys to buy a pound or so of the pepperoni slices. I'm guessing that the big pizza companies buy from Hormel, Cudahy and maybe a few mid-sized companies that can supply in volume and with consistent quality. Peter

City formalizes airport contract termination
FAIRMONT – The facts have been gathered for the termination of Fairmont's contract with Five Lakes Aviation, the fixed-base operator and manager of the municipal airport.
The council approved its attorney's findings Monday, a formalization of a previous vote to terminate the contract effective Sept. 30. The findings will now be passed on to Five Lakes Aviation's lawyer.
The city has a five-year contract with the airport manager, the first year of which will be completed in September.
The following are included in the city attorney's Findings of Facts:
o Five Lake Aviation has repeatedly failed to maintain the premises of the airport in good condition as required by the contracts, including allowing the accumulation of unacceptable amounts of miscellaneous scrap materials, personal property and non-aviation related business property. In addition, FLA failed to submit work orders to repair the premises to the city administrator as required by the maintenance agreement.
o FLA failed to inspect all airport buildings and hangars on a quarterly basis and file inspection reports with the city administrator.
o FLA ignored or violated various state, federal and city laws, rules and regulations, including illegally burning trash and scrap building materials at the airport, which resulted in airport manager Al Pelzer being charged with a misdemeanor, to which he pleaded guilty. There are also violations regarding fuel-dispensing equipment leaking jet fuel, and questionable fuel storage arrangements.
o FLA failed to store inside a building city-owned equipment used to maintain the airport; instead FLA stored personal non-aviation equipment in the building.
o FLA allowed Al Pelzer to operate a non-aviation business at the airport in violation of the contracts and FAA regulations.
o FLA as the fixed-base operator allowed its employee to exhibit unprofessional conduct, behavior and demeanor, which reflected badly upon the city of Fairmont.
The council unanimously approved the findings with no discussion.
Before beginning interviews for Five Lakes Aviation's replacement, City Administrator Mike Humpal said city staff is evaluating how the airport operates and any potential changes that need to be made.
Humpal asked that parties interested in the position call him at City Hall, (507) 238-9461. He has already started a file of potential candidates from people who have contacted him about the job.
In other business Monday, the council:
o Rejected a bid for sealcoating. The city got only one bid, which was 25 percent higher than the engineer's estimate. The city will seek bids a second time in hopes of more competitive results.
The soonest bids could be opened due to state advertising requirements would be Aug. 1, which would allow about two months, depending on the weather, for the contractor to complete sealcoating.
o Discussed abuse of the city's tree dump. Three grills and a dresser were dropped off at the dump over the weekend. City Councilman Joe Kallemeyn warned the dump will have to close if people continue to misuse it.
o Approved a refuse-hauling license application for Many Hands LLC of Trimont. The firm will initially sell bags for residential garbage removal.

While not everyone may have been blessed with luscious, long lashes, there are a few homemade remedies that may help to make lashes appear shiny and full.
Various substances such as olive oil, castor oil, sweet almonds and vaseline can nurture lashes when applied regularly, according to ArabTimesOnline.com. To try this at home, women can use an eyelash brush or a mascara brush to coat their lashes in the product and leave it on overnight.
A woman's diet can also affect the thickness of her lashes as a lack of protein can inhibit lash growth, according to LashGrowth.net.
Proper makeup removal is also important. Ladies are advised to do so carefully without applying too much pressure and instead use circular movements, the website advises. Women can use a natural makeup remover such as black or chamomile tea to wash their faces free of cosmetics.
In order to define their eyes, ladies may want to try blinc's Long Lash, which can give them a natural, full eyelash look.

Late Strike Lifts Dickinson Over Cabrini
from press release
Dickinson sophomore Max Pawk (above) took over in goal in the second half, making eight saves and picking up the win in the Red Devils victory over No. 17 Cabrini.
© Kevin P. Tucker
RADNOR, Pa. – In an early season match-up of nationally-ranked teams, the No. 13 Dickinson College men's lacrosse team scored with six seconds remaining to post a 12-11 win at No. 17 Cabrini College on Wednesday.
Senior Sam Greenberg (Owings Mills, Md./McDonogh) scored a game-high four goals, including the game-winner in the final minute, finding the net off an assist from classmate Ward Gruppo (Fairfield, Conn./Fairfield Prep) with just six seconds on the clock. The Devils gained possession on a missed shot with 21 seconds to play. They went the length of the field to net the game-winner, improving to 2-1 on the season.
The hosts opened with five goals in the first quarter to lead 5-3 at the end of one. The Devils answered with five goals, outscoring Cabrini 5-1, to take an 8-6 lead into halftime. Greenberg tallied back-to-back goals to lead the way in the second quarter, scoring twice in a span of just 46 seconds.
The Devils later tallied a pair of goals in just 36 seconds as senior Matt Cherry (Radnor, Pa./Radnor) scored at the 8:08 mark and then assisted Gruppo with 7:32 remaining in the half. Sophomore Brian Cannon (Reisterstown, Md./Loyola Blakefield) added his second goal of the game to erase a 6-3 Cabrini lead and put Dickinson in front, 8-6, at the break.
Junior Christian Beitel (Newtown , Conn./Newtown) and Cannon traded goals and assists to keep the Devils even with Cabrini as the teams traded goals throughout the third quarter, heading into the fourth, tied, 10-10.
Greenberg gave the Devils an 11-10 edge early in the quarter, scoring just 48 seconds into the period. Cabrini netted the equalizer at the 9:46 mark and the battle was on for the final tally of the day.
The Cavaliers had a shot with time running down, but it went wide and the Devils were there to take possession. They worked the ball down the field and found Greenberg for the game-winner with just six ticks on the clock. Cabrini would claim the ensuing face-off but ran out of time.
Greenberg returned from an injury to net a game-high four goals. Senior Chip Murray (New Canaan, Conn./New Canaan) won 14-of-23 face-offs and controlled five ground balls on the day while junior Brandon Palladino (Basking Ridge, N.J./Basking Ridge) picked-up four GBs.
Greg Hanley (Laurel Hollow, N.Y./Cold Spring Harbor) and Max Pawk (Sewickley, Pa./Sewickley) split time on goal. Pawk made eight saves in the second half, stopping six shots in the third quarter to earn the win in the cage.
Matt Beigel scored three goals and had a pair of assists while Brian Hill tallied three goals as well to lead Cabrini (1-1). Erick Zarzecki made seven saves.
The Red Devils (2-1) return home to face Montclair State University on Saturday. Opening face-off is set for 3:00 pm.

The 20-mile corridor uniting San José del Cabo to the east and Cabo San Lucas to the west possesses an astounding natural beauty where desert and ocean collide. Past the pockets of gimmicky hotels and all-inclusive motels, this aquamarine crossroads known as Los Cabos harbors some of the most luxurious resorts in the Americas. Here, we explore a duo of showstoppers that form Mexico's celeb-studded Holy Grail of luxury travel.
Sea and Mountain
A stunning feat of architectural and engineering ingenuity, Capella Pedregal proves the age-old adage of good things come to those who wait. Building the hotel's grand entrance—which includes a near quarter-mile tunnel through Pedregal Mountain to an oceanfront promontory—took 10 years alone. This was followed by a series of high-design, boutique low-rises, erected either into the mountainside or along unspoiled beachfront, where all units face ocean panoramas and feature private plunge pools to soak in the scene. Next came 10 overwater pavilions anchoring the 12,000-square-foot Auriga Spa, inspired by the phases of the moon—ever-present in Cabo's lucid skies—and a collection of slick infinity-edged swimming pools, enveloped by sand and surf. Today, this former quixotic fantasy is a jet-setter's reality (though a firm pinch is necessary to confirm it's not a dream).
Capella Pedregal's 96 suites and villas embody Mexican coastal elegance. From the dramatic, studded mesquite wood doors to the handcrafted dark wood furnishings and colorful textiles, the decor is a blend of Mexican majesty and international chic.
The seaward-facing arrangement ensures a front-row seat to the many splendors of this tract of Pacific Ocean: breaching humpback whales; charismatic dolphins riding the waves; endless vistas of the natural arches composing the iconic Land's End; incredible hues of orange, red, pink and purple painting the sky at sunrise and sunset; and sublime stargazing come nightfall. Adding to this "once upon a time in Mexico" reverie is supreme service across the board, from an in-house personal assistant to the welcoming wait staff, eager to fulfill any request.
With a culinary team led by Executive Chef Yvan Mucharraz and Food and Beverage Director Marco Bustamante of French Laundry and Per Se fame, respectfully, the resort's four restaurants fall nothing short of experiential. In particular, signature restaurant Don Manuel's focuses on reinvented Mexican cuisine in an elegant hacienda-style setting while El Farallón recreates a traditional outdoor fish market with fresh catch prepared to order on the sea-sprayed boulders of Pedregal's foothills.
During non-peak hours, Capella's restaurants transform into classrooms for a variety of culinary programs. Muddle, swizzle, invent and sample at the signature cocktails class with the resort's lead mixologists. Strap on an apron and prepare to feast on your assignment at Capella's cooking classes, where the syllabus includes making ceviches, tamales, moles and salsas.

Roads, schools closed as big storm hits western N.Y.
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) – Roads and schools were closed across upstate New York today as a blizzard slammed the western part of the state while dangerously cold temperatures gripped eastern areas from the Adirondacks to New York City.
Meteorologist Bill Hippert of the National Weather Service in Buffalo said the storm barreling in from the Midwest already had dumped an estimated 15 to 18 inches of snow in some areas of western New York by this morning, with winds gusting up to 50 mph along Lake Erie, making travel "difficult if not impossible." Up to 3 feet is expected in some areas around Buffalo and as much as 4 feet could fall near the eastern end of Lake Ontario by the time the storm eases up Wednesday, he said.
"This is an out-of-the-ordinary event, even for Buffalo," Hippert said. "It's been 20 years since we had blizzard warnings of this magnitude in this area."
A 65-mile stretch of the Thruway from Buffalo to the Pennsylvania border was closed, with all entry ramps between Exit 55 and 61 shut down. Travel bans were in effect for much of western New York and areas north of Syracuse after Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday declared a state of emergency for 14 counties.
The weather service's blizzard warning for the city of Buffalo and surrounding areas was in place until 6 a.m. Wednesday.
About 15 truckers were waiting out the storm at Jim's Travel Plaza outside Buffalo, according to a waitress who said she was too busy serving the drivers to give her name. Richard Merbler, a driver for Ace Hardware based out of Saratoga County, said the wind was "blowing like the devil" in Niagara Falls on Tuesday morning but conditions were even worse the night before along the Thruway between Rochester and Buffalo.
"Batavia last night wasn't fit for a dog when I was there. You couldn't see," Merbler told The Associated Press.
A 50-mile stretch of Interstate 81 north of Syracuse also was closed as heavy snow and winds gusting to 40 mph made driving hazardous. The state Department of Transportation said the highway was closed between Exit 31 at Brewerton to Exit 45 at Watertown.
DOT officials said there was no estimate on when the highway would reopen.
State police in Watertown said numerous vehicles were stuck along local roads, with troopers and sheriff's deputies working with tow truck drivers to remove the stranded drivers.
Hundreds of schools from the state's southwestern corner to the Hudson Valley were closed because of the weather, most due to the blizzard conditions in western areas but others because of temperatures in the single digits and wind chills well below zero.

Fr. Z has posted a great recipe for soup today.
"Are we prepared to promote conditions in which the living contact with God can be reestablished? For our lives today have become godless to the point of complete vacuity.

Cinnamon Rolls
Nothing says "Home For The Holidays" like the smell of Mom's cinnamon rolls coming out of the oven on Thanksgiving morning. The smell of cinnamon & nutmeg, the taste of pecans and tangy cream cheese brings me right back to my childhood. Theses are a labor of love and worth every minute spent making these light, flaky rolls. Add chopped chocolate, dried fruit or a different nut to make this recipe your own.
