AUGUSTA, Ga. — It was soggy, it was gloomy ... and it was amazing.
The final round of the 2019 Masters at Augusta National was electric. Figuratively, during the final round of play. Literally, soon after it ended, or so forecasters insisted.
Tiger Woods charged into the lead on the back nine, grabbing an improbable 15th major title — his first in over a decade — playing the same unwavering, even intimidating style of golf that propelled him to superstardom.
Others faltered down the stretch; Woods catapulted into the lead on No. 12 when both Francesco Molinari and Tony Finau rolled back into Rae's Creek on the par-3.
Xander Schauffele used this amazing 65-footer to squirm his way into the lead for a bit and Patrick Cantlay also made a run to the top for a moment, but the day was Tiger's as he calmly closed out a win with par on each of the final two holes.
All this happened in the most unlikely of scenarios, as players were lumped into threesomes and sent out early, all in an attempt to beat what forecasters insisted would be hellacious lightning storms in the later afternoon.
Here's a look at the final leaderboard, as well as five things you need to know about the magical Masters on Sunday:
Woods had an even front nine with three birdies and two bogeys, but he was just one behind Molinari when they made the turn, thanks to a scintillating two-putt on No. 9 that almost went down. Woods started the 70-foot putt sideways into an embankment, then watched it reverse course to roll within under a foot.
On the back nine, Woods continued with his solid play as others started to struggle.
Woods birdied the par-5 No. 13 and then took the lead outright with a scintillating birdie on No. 16 — dropping an iron at the top of the green and rolling it back just past the hole.
For Woods, the victory was his first at Augusta National since 2005.
With the weather crashing in, tournament organizers announced that there would not be an outdoor green jacket ceremony, mostly in an attempt to get patrons off the grounds as quickly as possible.
But due to the historic nature of Woods' victory, and a brief dry patch in the afternoon, Woods still had came outside for a spell. Here's a photo gallery of Woods raising the trophy and adding another green jacket to his closet.
Speaking of the green jacket, there are some great facts in this article, including an interesting note on the manufacturer (which has remained consistent for three decades).
When it came to finding the green on the par-4 No. 5, players had trouble all week.
But Phil Mickelson has always specialized in being a little different from the crowd.
On Sunday, the three-time Masters champ piped a drive down the right side of the fairway, leaving himself 215 yards to an elevated green. He followed with his best shot of the day, an iron that he nearly holed out for eagle. Instead, Mickelson tapped the short putt in for just the 13th birdie of the week on that hole.
Mickelson finished with a 71 on Sunday and finished the tournament at 6-under par.
"It just didn't quite all come together this week, but gosh it was a fun week and it is my favorite week of the year," he said. "I love being here and love the fact that I get to be a part of this tournament for the rest of my life."
You can't put a price on the fame that comes with being a Masters champion, but you can put a price on the paycheck Woods will take home, and that's a record-breaking amount.
For the first time ever, the winner will take home more than $2 million, as John Boyette of the Augusta Chronicle details in this story.
From Boyette's story:
The prize money is a far cry from the early days of the tournament, when Horton Smith collected $1,500 for winning the first Augusta National Invitation Tournament.
First-place money at the Masters increased to $2,500 after World War II, and more than quadrupled to $11,250 when Arnold Palmer won for the first time in 1958.
Got an umbrella in your right hand? That doesn't mean you can't hold an egg salad sandwich in your left when walking Augusta National.
Golf columnist Joel Helm of the Lakeland Ledger offers a number of meaty tidbits in this story about food at the Masters, including this passage about the renowned egg salad:
The egg salad sandwich, the second most famous item on the menu, is best eaten with your left hand. It's been around for a long time, and if you come to the Masters without experiencing one, you're doing yourself a disservice. For many Patrons, the egg salad sandwich is their favorite item, and The Masters is their favorite place to eat it.
Like Phil Mickelson, you can find the egg salad sandwich pretty much everywhere, all over the grounds.
Here's a link to a photo gallery from Sunday's action.

Why do we do cute prom hairstyles
Why do we do makeup, cute prom hairstyles, manicure, dye your hair and nails, spend money on expensive perfume? This question is not as simple as it may seem. The fact that with the help of various cosmetic tricks women emphasize the natural beauty and hide the flaws in appearance is, of course, true. But this applies more to the process itself than to its result. But the ultimate goal of the action, according to psychologists, concerns beauty only indirectly.
And even if we change the cute prom hairstyles in order to please someone, this is not the first place on the list of motivations.
We and cute prom hairstyles
I know it myself, when you come out of the barbershop with a new cute prom hairstyles, passersby do not seem so gloomy, you don't get puddles in the way, the air is fresh … And you dont even want a sweet! You feel almost like a rock star. Or self-confident beauty without problems.
In any case, you should agree, the change of cute prom hairstyles often affects the inner state of a person and his actions.
Change cute prom hairstyles
When we make a new cute prom hairstyles, we raise our spirits, change our wardrobe, thinking becomes different and to some extent a way of life. When we start to play sports, we are more disciplined not only in it but also in life. Consequently, self-respect and faith in ones own strength appear. Before changing the cute prom hairstyles, which will entail an internal transformation, you need to change your own motivation.

Brewers open series against Cubs
Battle between two bottom teams in NL Central
It will be a battle to get out of the bottom of the National League Central when the Milwaukee Brewers host the Chicago Cubs Tuesday night at Miller Park.
The Brewers and Cubs are both 31-43, tied for last place in the division, 15 games behind the first place St. Louis Cardinals.
The Brewers are 18-2 over their last 20 games against the Cubs at Miller Park.
Milwaukee has won the last 8 versus Chicago on their home field.
The Brewers will send right-hander Kyle Lohse to the mound against right-hander Edwin Jackson.
Milwaukee centerfielder Carlos Gomez is not expected to be in the lineup.
Gomez sprained his left shoulder Sunday making a spectacular catch against the wall.
He's listed as day-to-day.
Former Cub and current Brewers third baseman Aramis Ramirez could set a milestone Tuesday night.
Ramirez needs just one hit to give him 2,000 hits for his career.
First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m.

Hi all, this is my first post to this forum.
I want to copy all my DVDs to my computer (PC/Vista) and maintain all the menus too. Also, I want the movies (once on my computer) to be able to load onto my Kindle Fire.
What is the best free software to rip the DVDs and what format should I rip them into?
By the way, I am not a techie, so I hope I'll understand the jargon in your advice.
+ Reply to Thread
Results 1 to 11 of 11
If you want to keep the menus you must rip to an iso image with for example bdlot dvd iso master or the video_ts folder with the dvdfab decrypter. Then play with for example VLC. Click on the software for guides.
I have no idea what formats the kindle fire supports...
Thanks for the tips Baldrick.
Do you have any leads for me about how I can find out compatible formats for Kindle Fire (besides searching on Google)? Thx
I am just a worthless liar,
I am just an imbecil
1. Use DVDFab HD Decrypter to rip the main movie and one audio track(menus won't work).
2. Use VOB2MPG to join the VOB's.
3. Use Handbrake or MPEG Streamclip(my favorite) to encode to 852x480(16:9) or 640x480(4:3).
Handbrake is my favorite myself, but since when does it preserve menu structures? That's news to me.
Baldrick's right (he usually is). If you want menus you'll need to convert to iso. Kindle support there? I dunno either.
RTFM! Or google.
You may have to compromise on the menus.
Since I don't know what an ISO is, I'll give up on trying to maintain the menus. I'm assuming that without having the menus, when I click onto the movie, it will just start playing (I won't have any screen selection options) right?

This is a continuation of A question about regularity of foliations>this question answered by Dmitri.
Let $F$ and $F'$ be smooth ($C^\infty$) foliations of a manifold $M$. Assume that there is a homeomorphism $h$ that takes $F$ to $F'$.
- Assume $F$ has a compact leaf, can one conclude there is a diffeomorphism that takes $F$ to $F'$?
- Assume that $h$ is $C^1$, can one conclude there is a ($C^\infty$) diffeomorphism that takes $F$ to $F'$?
- Assume that $M$ is a torus and $F'=L$ is a Diophantine-irrational-line foliation of the torus. Then, in case of $M=T^2$ following the outline of Sam Nead one can show that there's a diffeomorphism that takes $F$ to $L$, does this hold for higher dimensional tori?
- Dmitri gives us certain obstruction to existence of a diffeomorphism. Are there other interesting obstructions?

But... I'm in the mood to be a better blogger, better creative person and better business owner. AND, yesterday I pulled my head up out of my little sandy hole and realized that Friday is VALENTINE'S DAY.
Wasn't it just Christmas? And before that... wasn't it just Valentine's Day? I won't even act like I was alone in forgetting it... especially since had you seen us at 2:30pm yesterday burning rubber in to the drugstore parking lot to buy last-minute Valentines for Susie's youngest... you'd gather that we haven't given much thought to the holiday.
But we're getting in the spirit by digging through our virtual stacks of images and relishing in some of our favorite rooms that used pink. And then we got even crazier (yes, crazy) and went off topic in to clothes and other beautiful things. I'm a sucker for some of the Valentine's-inspired things in stores too (have you seen the adorable bowls at West Elm?).
In all honesty (as if you can't already tell), I'm not much for this holiday, but pinks like these are something I can really get behind...
Ending on that good Marchesa note...
All the best,

The idea of advanced business education is to heighten and magnify understanding of facts and their relationships, develop and evaluate concepts and practices in order to achieve something new or more efficient.
The news from Duke University about a cheating scandal in the business school, brings to mind some very serious questions about MBA programs and continuing business education.
Dukes's business school punishes 34 graduate students for cheating
Who is going to business school to learn and who is going to get the title?
How important is it for companies to have employees that are/were first in their class, or in the top 20?
How should an MBA business school react to cheating?
MBA candidates and graduate business students are the "top of the line" future leaders and managers of business in the future. What messages are we sending about morals and ethics in our society when cheating is tolerated, lightly punished or severely punished?
Is this a sign of failure of the school, failure of the students, or the reality that shortcuts and cheating are required in order to get ahead in our current business environment?

Maggie was referred to us by our friends. She is simply the best. She's easy to work with and very transparent and honest. We bought our first home with Maggie. She was always available to take us out to see properties and to answer all of our questions. She was so helpful in guiding us and explaining the whole process of purchasing our dream home. We highly recommend Maggie. We can't thank her enough for helping us purchase our dream home.

I highly recommend anyone that is searching for their home to seek Maggie out for assistance. Maggie was there every step of the way and very informative. As a first time home buyer she walked us through each step and told us what to expect. This process went so smooth thanks to her!

MAGGIE GARCIA started off being our realtor and ended up being a very dear friend. Because of her we received full price for our property as well as the fastest and smoothest transaction we've ever experienced. MAGGIE went Way beyond her responsibilities as a realtor. Her dedication, professionalism, intelligence, attention to detail and caring demeanor was so much appreciated. I would definitely recommend MAGGIE GARCIA for any of your realtor needs. ❤

I couldn't be anymore happier with my first home buying experience with Maggie. I had other realtors look for homes for me and it never felt like they truley cared. Maggie made everything feel easy and I never felt worried or stressed out. She was there to walk me through every step. Her knowledge and experience put me at ease and within a short time I bought my first home in the town I wanted and she made it happen. So thankful for her; and her positive outlook made this experience amazing. Thank you Maggie!

The best agency we ever had. She helped us sale and buy a home In one month. We are so happy. She has a very professional manner, always care about her clients and put her clients' concerns and satisfaction as her priority. She constantly communicate with us by phone or text , does not care about how late it was if we had questions. She even found a Handman for us to help us fix the house before we sell. Excellent personality and beautiful woman with a big smile alway on her face. She takes her job with honest and sincere. Thanks God we have her when we were in an emergency situation and needed to buy and sell house in a month.

Maggie became more than our agent but a good friend we can count on. Very very patient and really hands on. Always there to answer any and all questions we had. We can honestly say we would of not been able to purchase our first home without her extensive knowledge. We are very much looking forward towards working with her on our future purchases.
Internally greatful,

Maggie goes above and beyond for her clients and takes pride in her work, which clearly shows! She did an amazing job helping me and my wife find our first home. She's not pushy whatsoever and finds any way she can to help you make a decision. She's punctual, attentive, and has great communication skills. She also takes the time to learn what her clients like and don't like which definitely helps in finding the right home. I would definitely do business with Maggie again, and would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase real estate.

My husband and I were introduced to Maggie through our mortgage broker. She told us that if we need assistance in the journey of buying a home...Maggie would be a great help. And she was right!
Maggie was always professional and always on time - to the minute! :) But more than that, we always felt that Maggie cared. She walked us through some very big bumps in the road and at all times, kept in communication with us and was always available at any time.
We are so happy to be in our forever home and am so thankful that Maggie was the person that truly made this happen. She worked so hard for us!
I encourage anyone that is looking for their next relator, to look no further. Maggie is the one for you!

Maggie is a wonderful realtor that helped us find our first home! I felt she went above and beyond for us throughout the whole process. She is professional, a hard worker, and very knowledgeable of her work. Maggie made me feel comfortable and at ease when she answered all my simple and silly questions about purchasing a home. Every phone call, text, and e-mail was answered throughout the day and evening. She made everything feel stress free and took care of all the paperwork for us and even recommended additional home services to use. Maggie is more than our realtor, she is our friend. Thank you Maggie for all your hard work! I'm so glad she was recommended to me and I definitely recommend her to everyone as well!

It is with pleasure working with Maggie. Her professionalism was beyond expectations. I never had to worried abut anything that needed to be done. If an electrician, plumber or cleaning services were needed, she had the right people to do the job. I never had to miss a day from work to sign paperwork. She always accommodated us. I highly recommend her as Real Estate agent.

Where do I start. Maggie's been threre During the whole process of purchasing the beautiful home we live in now. It seemed like whenever we needed her she was there, day or night Even to answer the silliest of questions, Which wasn't silly at the time, because everyone knows buying a home is very stressful, Somehow Maggie made us feel at ease and walked us through every step. We don't see Maggie As our realtor. We see her as part of the family.

Thanks to Maggie we are proud new home owners! Maggie stuck with us for months and provided the support and contact information we needed to secure my Husband's VA loan after months of trial and error. We finally got approval and Maggie got to work right away. She always found the time to make the drive out to us and show us homes. She provided her honest opinion on the homes we looked at and kept our spirits high when our offers were not accepted. After what felt like forever, Maggie helped us find the perfect home for our family! She was with us every step of the way and SO patient! In addition to her superior buying expertise, she also helped us get our house show ready to sell. Maggie went the extra mile for us and we are forever grateful. I highly recommend Maggie to sellers and buyers.

This is the second time I've worked with a realtor and oh what a difference having Maggie made. She is very knowledgeable of the real estate industry . If you have any questions or concerns she gets back to you in a timely manner. I felt no pressure or rush while out looking at houses with Maggie. She keeps your best interest in mind. She gave us great advice on things that had to get done in order to show our house and make it as attractive and marketable as possible. If you're in need of a high quality realtor and someone you can trust and have full confidence in then Maggie is your lady who'll get you to where you want to go. She is at the top of my list. Thank you Maggie!

Maggie was awesome. It was a huge process trying to find our home as we were very indecisive and changed our mind of our wants and needs on her many times! She was always patient with us and tried to help us in everyway. It was great getting to know her in the process and my kids adore her. If needed we will definitely use her again.

Maggie is by far the best agent I have ever had. Warm, thoughtful, considerate and most importantly cares about you and what is best for you. Maggie just helped me and my family close on the sale of my home within 28 day's . . . Wow.
She continued to follow up with us even after we moved out of state to ensure we had a comfortable transition. In closing, I have made several referrals and will continue to do so on Maggie's behalf. Not only was she my agent she has become a friend. ;-)
Best Wishes Maggie,

Maggie did an awesome sell for us. I explained to her the situation we were in, and the time frame we had. Within a few hours she was at my house. She explained everything that was going to happen, if I didn't understand something she would explain it so that I did understand. We signed the papers to sell the house, Maggie took it from there. The only thing we had to do was get the house ready to show. The next day buyers were already coming to look at the house, Maggie always let us know with time when they were coming. What I really liked is that she always kept us informed of everything that was happening. Within a few days we had a buyer, Maggie took care of everything from talking with our mortgage company to handling the title company, she was even there when we signed papers at the title company. Then two days after we signed at the title company Maggie called us to say our house was officially sold. We couldn't believe that this all happened in ten days, from the time we called Maggie to start the sell process to the day it closed at escrow. Yes I would recommend Maggie highly she is very professional and very knowledgeable at what she does. We can't thank her enough for what she did for us.

Valentine's Day Apps: Apps for the Gift-Giving Procrastinator
Still haven't gotten that meaningful Valentine's gift? These apps can help.
Feb. 13, 2013 -- intro: Cards, candy, flowers and dining out -- all of these are synonymous with Valentine's Day. The average annual spending on gifts for this once-liturgical celebration is in the hundreds of millions of dollars, and if you believe the data, roughly 30 percent of those dollars will be spent online.
Still, the convenience of online and mobile shopping doesn't stop many of us from putting off making dinner reservations or finding a gift for someone to celebrate the once-a-year romantic ritual. So, with only a day left before the holiday, we compiled a short list of apps to help the Valentine's Day procrastinator in all of us.
quicklist: 1 category: Free title: Open Table
text: This restaurant app will have you covered when it comes to finding and making a dinner reservation. Choose a location, date and time, and the app will search its database of over 20,000 restaurants to find one near you and tell you available times. You can narrow your search by cuisine type and price range; we found six French bistros in trendy Williamsburg, Brooklyn with available reservations between 6:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. for Feb. 14. Select a restaurant to read reviews, see the menu, or find others like it nearby. We'd recommend you book the table now. (iOS, Android, Kindle Fire, Blackberry, Windows Phone)
media: 18481291
quicklist: 2 category: Free title: Treater
text: So you didn't have time to shop? Treater's gift-giving app makes it easy for you send a little something via Facebook or email. Browse categories of treats; for something small, you might try a massage bar from Lush, or a specialty cupcake from Magnolia Bakery. Users will find this app useful for many occasions, not just for Valentine's Day. By analyzing your friends' Facebook Timelines, Treater will suggest events for which to give a gift and will suggest treats based on their likes. Add a message and photo to personalize your treat and Viola! Gift given. Valentine's Day catastrophe avoided. (iOS and Android)
media: 18481353
quicklist: 3 category: Free title: Red Stamp
text: Design, draft and send a thoughtful Valentine's Day card. Red Stamp gives users the ability to search for themes and designs or create their own cards using photos from their camera roll, Facebook and Instagram accounts. Once you've designed your card, Red Stamp will print and send it for the price of a stamp and a small printing fee.
But wait -- it's February 13 and your card will never make it! Relax. Users can tweet, email or send their cards to Facebook in order to share with a loved one. The app comes with 400 pre-loaded designs, most of them simple, but with a tasteful esthetic, and for a few extra bucks you can purchase premium designs. (iOS)
media: 18481323
quicklist: 4 category: Free title: 1800Flowers
text: Flowers on Valentine's Day are as ubiquitous as turkey on Thanksgiving or fireworks on the fourth of July. So if you don't want to appear unorthodox, but you've run out of time to pre-order a bouquet, you might try the 1800Flowers app. Search by category or occasion, best sellers or same-day options. Enter your recipient's location, select your flowers and set the delivery date. The app offers a simple checkout process and order tracking so you can make sure the two-dozen long stem roses you (Ahem!) did-not-forget-until-the-last-minute-to-send get there in time.
When it comes to this app's layout, do not expect a highly imagined user experience complete with rich media elements. With a few swipes and clicks, this app is designed to get the job done from your mobile device. (iPhone and Android)
quicklist: 5 category: $1.99 title: Kiss Me Thru Phone
text: Rap artist Soulja Boy not only had hit song called "Kiss Me Thru the Phone," he also has an app. Download Kiss Me Thru the Phone from the Apple App Store and send kisses to your besties and loved ones. Take a picture of yourself with your iPhone or choose a background, and press the "Kiss" button. Luscious red lips will appear on your screen. From there, you can add a few simple touches, such as a red rose or bleeding heart. Email your kiss (we hope you get one back!) and then send more. For $1.99 the app does not offer much other than the ability to send a gimmicky looking-kiss, and the art it provides looks like the clip art you see on a strip of fake tattoos. Still, it's nice to get a kiss, even if it's a virtual one. (iOS)

In the pros: J. Schwartz, Prosser, Crabb, Sterling, Testwuide fight video
January 14, 2013 Leave a comment
Former Tiger Jaden Schwartz is making a good impression on Blues coach Ken Hitchcock.
He is one of a number of young stars according to NHL.com who may benefit from their time in the AHL while veterans played in the ECHL, overseas or tried to stay in game shape on their own.
Nate Prosser and Justin Falk look ready to be the Wild's third defensive pair. Brian Connelly is injured.
Joey Crabb took part in this Q&A.
Brett Sterling scored a natural hat trick in just over eight minutes during the first period of a 3-1 win for AHL Chicago on Friday night.

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- Federal biologists said Friday they had signed off on a plan aimed at providing relief to the drought-parched Southeast, under which more water will be retained in Georgia instead of being released into Florida.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expedited its study of an interim drought plan submitted two weeks ago by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and concluded that freshwater mussels and sturgeon -- kept alive by water from Georgia's Chattahoochee watershed under federal law -- will not be placed in jeopardy under the plan.
However, there will be some effects, and some members of the species probably will die, Sam Hamilton, Southeast regional director for the Fish and Wildlife Service, told reporters.
Under the plan, the amount of water released from the Jim Woodruff Dam in Chattahoochee, Florida, will be gradually decreased. That process had already begun Friday, said Brig. Gen. Joseph Schroedel, South Atlantic Division commander for the Corps of Engineers. A similar plan will be put into effect on the Alabama River, at a point south of Montgomery, Alabama, officials said.
Last month, Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue declared a water supply emergency in north Georgia, and asked a court to require the Corps of Engineers to restrict water flows from Lake Lanier -- the main source of Atlanta's water -- and other reservoirs. He blasted what he said were "silly rules," noting that even if Georgia gets rain, it cannot conserve water because it must release 3.2 billion gallons a day downstream.
Alabama, Georgia and Florida have been wrangling over water usage from two river basins -- the Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa (ACT) and the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) -- for years. Meanwhile, the population of metropolitan Atlanta has doubled to more than 5 million since 1980. Lake Lanier is at the headwaters of the ACF system, so cutting the flow of water from the Woodruff Dam will mean less water will need to be released from Lake Lanier. See why the three states are struggling over the water »
Rainfall in north Georgia, including the Atlanta metropolitan area, is more than a foot below normal levels for this time of year, following a series of drier-than-normal years. Georgia has imposed a mandatory ban on outdoor water use by homeowners in the region.
Two weeks ago, Perdue met with federal officials, Alabama Gov. Bob Riley and Florida Gov. Charlie Crist to discuss a drought plan, and the plan approved Friday by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was announced. In light of the negotiations, Perdue has dropped his lawsuit against the corps.
Florida's governor has voiced some concerns about the recommendations from the November 1 meeting. Jim Connaughton, chairman of the U.S. Council on Environmental Quality, told reporters Friday that negotiations continue to work through some of the issues facing Florida, but some concerns, "at least with respect to the near term," have been addressed.
Asked whether he thinks Crist would sue over the matter, Connaughton said governors of the three states have committed to finding a solution for future years if the drought persists.
The governors will meet December 11 and 12 in Tallahassee, Florida, to continue negotiations, U.S. Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne said Friday. "We're in an extreme situation ... but you see, at this point, some two weeks after sitting down and going through a number of these things, some real progress has been made."
The plan also provides for increasing water storage, officials said. "If the corps does not hold back some water now, and if extreme drought conditions continue, it is possible there may not be enough water in storage next summer to meet the needs of users," the corps said in a statement.
In signing off on the drought plan, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service only examined possible effects on species listed on the federal endangered list, Hamilton said, so the revised plan's effect on oysters, shrimp and other species in Florida's Apalachicola Bay is unknown, although it will be studied. Connaughton, however, noted that the plan is only temporary, until the Southeast receives some much-needed rain. See which parts of U.S. face worst drought »
Crist, for his part, said in a written statement Friday that the state "will continue to focus on the needs of the people who depend on a healthy Apalachicola Bay." He said that while he is "disappointed" that Georgia's initial request to reduce releases from Woodruff Dam was extended, the corps has promised Florida it will regularly evaluate the environmental effects on the bay.
Schroedel disputed reports that have said Lake Lanier only has a finite number of days left for Atlanta's water supply, saying the lake has not reached its record low. "It doesn't look that pretty, but there's still a lot of water there," he said. E-mail to a friend

"The Daily Show" correspondents took aim at the NFL referee strike and furor over replacement refs by staging a strike of their own.
Host Jon Stewart kicked off the segment on Wednesday's episode by discussing a labor dispute involving "irreplaceable working men and women."
"America finally learned what it would take to quickly settle a labor dispute," Stewart mocked. "A blown offensive interference call and interception call."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Stewart also used the dispute to take a swipe at Paul Ryan, and how the GOP vice presidential candidate likened the need to do away with replacement refs to his aim of replacing the Obama administration.
Mocking Paul Ryan's logic, Stewart said one could easily connect Jerry Sandusky to President Obama, who is "the person really raping America's children … with his unfunded mandates."
Throwing to correspondent John Oliver, who was sent to cover the dispute, Stewart was bewildered to discover British actor Sir Patrick Stewart standing in his place as the "Senior Replacement Correspondent."
"Your correspondents, emboldened by the NFL labor dispute, have also gone on strike," said Sir Stewart, by way of explanation. "Until then, we replacement correspondents, myself, Pacino, Glen Close … will attempt to hold down the fort!"
Sir Stewart was quite keen on his new gig and refused to leave. That is, until the real John Oliver disclosed what the yearly salary was, to which the dramatic actor responded, "No f---ing way."
To see Sir Patrick Stewart try his hand at being a news correspondent, check out the clip below, courtesy of Comedy Central:

Microsoft Compiled HTML Help is a Microsoft proprietary online help format, consisting of a collection of HTML pages, an index and other navigation tools. The files are compressed and deployed in a binary format with the extension .CHM, for Compiled HTML. The format is often used for software documentation.
It was introduced as the successor to Microsoft WinHelp with the release of Windows 98 and is still supported in Windows 10. Although the format was designed by Microsoft, it has been successfully reverse-engineered and is now supported in many document viewer applications.
|Microsoft announces plans to stop development of WinHelp and start development on HTML Help.
|HTML Help 1.0 (HH 1.0) is released with Internet Explorer 4.
|HTML Help 1.1a ships with Windows 98.
|HTML Help 1.3 ships with Windows 2000.
|HTML Help 1.32 releases with Internet Explorer 5.5 and Windows Me.
|HTML Help 1.33 releases with Internet Explorer 6 and Windows XP.
|At the WritersUA (formerly WinWriters) conference, Microsoft announces plans for a new help platform, Help 2, which is also HTML based.
|Microsoft decides not to release Microsoft Help 2 as a general Help platform.
Microsoft has announced that they do not intend to add any new features to HTML Help.[3]
File format[edit]
Help is delivered as a binary file with the .chm extension. It contains a set of HTML files, a hyperlinked table of contents, and an index file. The file format has been reverse-engineered and documentation of it is freely available.[4][5]
The file starts with bytes "ITSF" (in ASCII), for "Info-Tech Storage Format".[why?]
CHM files support the following features:
- Data compression (using LZX)
- Built-in search engine
- Ability to merge multiple .chm help files
- Extended character support, although it does not fully support Unicode.[6]
Use in Windows applications[edit]
The Microsoft Reader's .lit file format is a modification of the HTML Help CHM format. CHM files are sometimes used for e-books.[7]
Sumatra PDF supports viewing CHM documents since version 1.9.
Various applications, such as HTML Help Workshop and 7-Zip can decompile CHM files. The hh.exe utility on Windows and the extract_chmLib utility (a component of chmlib) on Linux can also decompile CHM files.
Microsoft's HTML Help Workshop and Compiler generate CHM files by instructions stored in a HTML Help project. The file name of such a project has the extension .HHP and the file is just a text with the INI file format.[8]
The Free Pascal project has a compiler (chmcmd) that can create CHM files in a multiplatform way.
Use in non-Windows applications[edit]

- GTK: GnoCHM on SourceForge.net, CHMsee, chmviewkit

After reading some male blogger's thoughts about how deceitful women are, I decided to respond to their claims. They are right. Women, in general, do hide the truth from men. It's because if men knew the truth, they would be afraid. Very afraid.
Here are some painful secrets you don't know:
1. She tells her girlfriends everything, including what you're like in bed, and how big you are. You would cringe if you knew the juicy personal details about you she's blabbing everywhere she goes
2. She really doesn't like to go camping, hiking, parachuting, bungee cord jumping, white water rafting, hunting, mountain climbing, etc. She only says she does to make you think you have things in common
3. She doesn't like most sports—not to watch it—and certainly not to play it
4. She doesn't like giving BJs
5. She's all lovey-dovey with you, but when you're not around she's complaining about you–to everyone. (And it isn't just family and friends. It's hair stylists, manicurists, bank clerks, cashiers, that guy who works at Home Depot, neighbors, waitresses, co-workers, everyone.)
6. She fakes it—a lot
7. She can't stand your buddies, thinks they are a bad influence, and would like to remove them from your life
8. She got into the relationship with you for your potential. She thinks you need improving and she's going to fix you
9. She's keeping a close eye on you. She uncovers intel on you with an efficiency that would make James Bond envious. She snoops through your cell phone, email, glove compartment, Facebook, and anything else she can get her hands on. She will drive past your house late at night to make sure your car is there and someone else's isn't.
Oh, and her girlfriends are watching your ass, too, and they're gonna rat you out.
- She may be your sweet innocent angelic 'lil Pookie Wookie Wookums, but, if you do her wrong—like lie your ass off or cheat—she's going to turn into a snarling, fire-breathing, vengeance seeking handmaiden of Satan.
Don't say I didn't warn you.

This is supposed to be a priest site, not a guild-building site, so I thought I'd take a moment to bring things back to the roots. With a technical post, at that.
One of the things good healers tend to do is anticipate damage. They're starting the heal before it's really needed – the outstanding ones seem to be dropping them on the heels of the damage that requires it. How do they do it? Well….
I don't know. I've never managed that little trick (besides the interrupt cast trick which I'll get to shortly), and hope one of the greats will deign to clue us all in. In the meantime, however, I've learned a trick or two I'll pass along.
Tediously, there is study. Sometimes you can learn what the mobs of your instance hit for ahead of time, but the more frequent way to learn is Pay Attention at the first fight.
On the first pull of a new instance, I hit the tank with a PoM and throw a renew the INSTANT he engages. And then I highlight his health bar and see what the first two hits do for health reduction. At that point I've got two starting points of data. First, how big a heal am i going to need, and second how fast am i going to need it. As the battles progress I'm going to fine tune it, but this is my starting point. Three mobs drop the tank by 3K (recovering half that due to the existing heals) in the first flurry? oh, crap, better start interrupt-casting GH till things get under control. Three mobs and he's dropped and returned to full health (less than 1500)? I can wait for something special – just keep renew up all the time.
Oh – that's one thing I've taken to doing full time, or as close to it as I can manage. Renew 100% of the time, and frisbee as soon as it dies or gets swallowed (darn warlocks). These already in place BUY ME TIME as I try to get a feel for the timing of various mobs OMG hits.
The second trick is threshholds. I've got my addons set so that when various classes go to certain threshholds their datalines change colors. Tanks hit the first threshhold at 85%. Everybody else it's 80%. yes, I know the clothies are closer to death than the tanks at this point, but I've learned that if I keep the tank up and he can hold aggro, we will win. (Had a nasty pull the other day where the mobs – all three of them, in Arc, killed the rest of the party FAST. The tank went nuts with aggro, kept sharing the loving and doing a bit of damage – and I kept the heals going pretty constantly, barely staying under the threat level. We lived, the mobs died. Yes, we had a break – the stupid mobs kept sheeping me every so often – which restored my health with me using zero mana. But I digress….) Basically, having hardcoded threshholds warns me I might be running a little behind – it's a "don't care, get a heal on this one NOW" statement. It's not really anticipation of ANY damage, but since they've been hit and they're potentially bad off, it's kind of interesting how often the heal hits them as they get hit AGAIN – and fakes the anticipation of the great healers. (I try to throw a "put them at 110%" heal for just this reason.)
hmm, that's another trick. When I AM tossing a heal in the hot and busy, especially when it's going to someone who's getting a fair amount of damage, I intentionally overheal for "right now". I aim for between 110 and 120% of full health. Sometimes I overheal. And sometimes… one more tick of renew is a good thing. (I'm frequently in the 5-10% overheal range at end of run, just for reference.)
Finally, I said I'd mention interrupt casting. It's pretty much only useful on your Long heal (GH or Prayer of Healing). What you do is start the cast before there is ANY need at all. At about the 2-second point, if nobody's taken damage, recast it – interrupting the previous cast and starting the clock again. Two factors fall into place here. First and least important, you use no mana till the spell is complete. Second… you are a LOT closer to the cast following the need because you started so early. The bad thing? switching to something else for someone else breaks the cycle. But when you KNOW you're going to be casting it over and over – that when it's needed it's going to be needed NOW, and someone else is covering the other issues – it's a great method of anticipatory healing casts. right time, right place, great. Wrong time or place and, well, back to the drawing board.
These are tricks I use so I'm not desperately trying to grab my tank off the 5% health line. And to be honest, sometimes I miss. I think things are under control so I "top off" the other players – and the tank takes a pair of crits plus another love tap or two, plunging from just over the 85% line to under 10% (and I'm using 'fast cast' tricks to try and give me enough time to toss a GH or three.)
So… you excellent and great healers – and those of you don't think of yourself as such but have picked up one or two tricks of your own – share. Tell us how YOU anticipate. Because anticipation means you make it look easy – and you definitely sweat it less.
3 Responses to "Anticipation"
Anticipation is the first sign of a good healer (reactive healing using Healbot gets your raid killed) It looks like you covered just about all the basics. Another thing you can do to anticipate more is assist healing using target of target. This is especially useful in fights like Shade of Aran in Kara, especially if you can see the enemy's cast bar, thus knowing the spell being cast, and its approximate damage, and land a heal just after the spell goes off. Yet another well written and informitive post.
On a side note, one of the most fun and challenging experiences I've had as a healing priest was running Karazhan through Curator with only 2 healers (especially if you have a lower DPS group). This really pushes you to effectively use every spell at your disposal (Binding Heal actually made up 7% of my healing on that run), and every trick you know, for anticipation and efficiency, oh and just for kicks, you get to CC at the same time too.
In 25 man raiding, some of our priests and druids have played with Forecast, a raid healing mod that lets them see when heals from the other healers in the raid are going to hit. It's an interesting concept, though I hear it eats up a fair bit of mod memory (and all the healers in a raid need to have it installed for it to work as intended). Might be a fun thing to play with if you're trying to work on your psychic damage-anticipation skills, though. 🙂
Another mod that can help is VisualHeal, which shows how much your heal will fill or overfill the target's health. It also can combine with the other healers in your group/raid, also if they have it too. 😛 But I haven't seen it eating much memory. It will not show healing from group stuff (PoM, PoH, BH) or Renew.

In kids' world, they are also eager to be fashion as adults do. No matter the dresses or some jewelry accessories. However, due to their nature of inconstancy, choose some easy to make bracelets can be a wonderful solution. Besides, making bracelets for kids can be fun and easy. To learn how to make bracelets for kids is also a project that helps discover your children's talents and teach them how to be focus.
Choose the materials while making bracelets for kids:
Handmade Gold Sand Lampwork Bead
Grade "A" Natural Freshwater Pearl Bead
Tibetan Silver Bead Cap
Crimp Bead

Tiger Tail
Side Cutting Plier
Wire-Cutter Plier
How to make bracelets for kids?
Step1: Add on Brass Lobster Claw Clasp
Cut out one 15cm long tiger tail wire and attach the Brass Lobster Claw Clasp onto one tip with iron Crimp Bead.
Step2: String beads
While making bracelets for kids, you may not need to think too much about the issues like whether the beads are fashion or outstanding, as simply as possible.
Regard Tibetan Silver Bead Cap*2, Grade "A" Natural Freshwater Pearl Bead*1 and Handmade Gold Sand Lampwork Bead*1 as one group, repeat the group until get an ideal length.

In easy to make bracelets, natural materials with bright color can be better. Such as in this bracelet, I choose the safety glass beads and Natural Freshwater Pearl Bead as main materials, and furthermore, all metal parts are special nickel free materials.

Beretta A300 Outlander
This Made-in-the-USA entry into the sub-$1,000 semi-auto shotgun market is billed as a younger sibling to Beretta's popular and reliable A400 scattergun, but the A300's gas-operated guts are closer to those used in the time-proven 391. The no-hassle, self-cleaning system is all but guaranteed to cycle reliably whether you're patterning with light field loads or pounding longbeards with the heaviest 3-inch magnums. It does feature the A400's machined aluminum receiver, which is milled to accept a red dot or scope as more and more turkey hunters are relying on optics in the woods. Both the trigger guard and forend cap are crafted from a durable polymer, most likely to help trim cost more than the gun's weight, but are designed to hold up well nevertheless. Though wood and Max-4 camo versions are available, I prefer the black synthetic stock, which stands up to spring's wet, muddy conditions and cuts about $60 off the retail price.

For Immediate Release
Leader of 'Ghost Riders' Motorcycle Gang Sentenced to Prison for Illegal Weapons Possession
Felon had Explosives and a Dozen Firearms in Shed and Storage Locker
A leader of the Ghost Riders motorcycle gang in Pierce County was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Tacoma to five years in prison for possession of an unregistered short-barreled shotgun and being a felon in possession of explosives, announced U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. KARL TWILLEAGER, a/k/a "King Karl", 66, of Spanaway, Washington, has been in custody since his property was searched on June 13, 2013 and the weapons were discovered. The explosives were being stored for a retaliatory attack on a rival gang. U.S. District Judge Ronald B. Leighton imposed the sentence.
"The possession of illegal firearms and explosives by violent felons endangers a whole community," said U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. "This defendant and his gang planned a violent attack on rivals that could have caused serious injuries or deaths. Innocent bystanders could have been caught up in the carnage. The very act of storing those explosives illegally in the storage locker posed risks to the community should they be stolen or ignite accidently."
According to the plea agreement signed in September 2013, ATF agents searched a Spanaway storage locker belonging to TWILLEAGER and found more than two sticks of Emulsion explosives and four blasting caps. They also recovered six firearms, including three rifles, two shotguns, and a handgun, as well as additional ammunition and empty ammunition magazines. Two days later they searched TWILLEAGER's home and a shed on the property that was used as the Ghost Riders clubhouse. They seized multiple rounds of different calibers of ammunition, and six more firearms, including four handguns, a rifle, and a J.C. Higgins model 20 12-gauge short-barreled shotgun, with a barrel length of approximately 15.5 inches with no serial number. TWILLEAGER was convicted of second degree murder in Grant County, Washington in 1994 and is therefore prohibited from possessing firearms and explosives.
In asking for a five year sentence, prosecutors noted that the 'Ghost Riders' motorcycle gang was preparing for a violent attack. "The government believes that the gel explosives and at least some of the firearms were gathered for the purpose of a planned violent attack on 'Uncle Sam's Bar and Grill' in Spanaway, known to be a favored hangout of a rival motorcycle gang, the Bandidos. This attack was to be in retaliation for Defendant Twilleager and about eight of his "brother" Ghost Riders having been tricked and assaulted at that very location on June 2, 2012 (almost exactly a year earlier)," prosecutors wrote in their sentencing memo.
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF), with assistance from the Pierce County Sheriff's Office Bomb Squad, the Washington State Patrol SWAT Team, the South Sound Gang Task Force, and the Seattle Police Department, and was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Gregory A. Gruber.
