His siblings thought the madness was something new; a crack in his programming that defied repair, resisted any attempt to reboot to defaults, and in effect replaced their brother. But it wasn't new, and he wasn't gone.
They'd always been together; like twins in one body. The gentle and the mad, the soft and the rough. Tears and laughter.
One was always stronger than the other. But deep inside, even if he couldn't even feel himself anymore, there was still a quiet child, locked away, safe from harm, safe from the screaming, yelling, glitching, painful world. He had no desire to leave.
Let the laughter live.

What is the first thing that comes to mind, "what do do you believe in?"
There are so many answers to this question, however if you truly believe you are a soul having a physical experience, then for me there is only one answer and that, is "me.". And yes, we can all get scientific or woo woo, but I chose to go with practical, how about you?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jul 12 2013: Before I go into into this question, I just want to comment on first impressions, things that come to your mind first, and stuff like that. Just FYI, I am not an expert or have done any research (feel free to present any); I really just think. I'm sure first thoughts will reveal something about the truth or the right answer, but I feel the only way to fully uncover what you truly believe in is reflection and time (time spent thinking, not just ducking around).
That being said I'll give me first thought that answered the question, "Change." (Wasn't a completed thought just a beginning). Now this is barely scratching the surface of what I believe in and really I'm not sure really has to do with my full reflected thought at all. My first thought, not the one that answered the question but my first thought that happens many times when answering a question, was what would be something that most people wouldn't answer. I like to purposefully stray from most people's answers, because then even if wrong, people will at least consider something else and that's what's important to me. Giving someone a different perspective. So change was my first thought that answered the question after the above thought process.
I've mainly stated what I believe in, but I'll expand and add some. I believe in the mind over body. Humans aren't dominant because of our physical strength, but our mental strength. I believe I will never firmly believe anything. I don't think anyone should. You shouldn't feel loyal to your thought because they are your own. You should want to be proven wrong, because how else is your idea or philosophy going to evolve and improve if you don't change it or at least are willing to change it. These are my current beliefs and hopefully show why I start every thought process involving an answer aiming for somewhere off the target. (don't know if that metaphor is more useful than harmful, but please ask me to clarify or respond to me with a contradiction)

It's impossible for any one person/group to claim they are speaking for the entire player base, even if it happens to be the one currently making the most noise. In the end the decision on what should or shouldn't be a charged service probably includes things like the number of people who - of their own free will (I hope) - currently subscribe to existing mobile/premium features.
At the moment I don't really have an opinion either way on the usefulness of Real ID grouping since I don't use Real ID outside of people already on my server, but I wouldn't feel disrespected by a charge on this feature and I wish people would stop taking it upon themselves to represent the cause of "all" players when they don't know how "everyone" feels.

TOEFL Writing Evaluations Now Available
Do you need a native speaker to examine your essays line-by-line, fix your mistakes and tell you how to write a better TOEFL essay? I'll do it for you! Try our express essay evaluation service. Have your essay reviewed and corrected by an experienced TOEFL tutor. Packages start at only $7 per essay.
How to write the TOEFL Integrated Essay
(note: advanced students might prefer to just skip to our TOEFL writing templates)
The second type of essay question you will face is the integrated writing task. For this question you will first read a short article about an academic topic after which you will listen to a lecture on the same topic.
The lecture will either oppose (challenge) the article or support it. Your task is to describe how the lecture either supports or challenges the article. You may only listen to the lecture once, but you will have access to the article while you are writing your essay.
Many think that the integrated task is more difficult than the independent task, but I disagree. This is because:
- You will write a shorter essay than in the independent section
- This essay requires no original thought - you are just summarizing what you read and heard
- You can look at the reading while writing your essay.
Of course, you need to be a good listener in order to complete this task. You must also be a good note-taker. Find some audio resources to help you practice your listening skills. Practice taking notes and this essay will be much easier.
General Strategies
I teach my students a few strategies on how to handle this essay.
The first strategy is to be aware of the structure of the question. You will read an article and hear a lecture on the same topic. The reading will have a main idea which will usually be supported by two or three reasons. For example, if the reading is about the best place for a child to live, the main idea might be:
"Living in the city is better for children than living in the country."
While the supporting reasons might be:
- The city has more educational opportunities
- The city has better recreational facilities
- The city has more job opportunities for children when they grow up
The reading will usually present one reason after another and provide details to support the reasons. This is the normal structure that you can expect.
The lecture also has a predictable structure. If it is opposing the lecture, if will have an opposite main point, like:
"Living in the country is better for children than living in city."
The lecture will then address the points from the reading one by one. In the above case, the reasons it gives might be something like this:
- City schools have more violence and drugs than country schools.
- The country has lots of nature for children to play in and enjoy
- Children don't need jobs, and they can move to the city when they grow up, if necessary
If the lecture is supporting the reading it will have the same main point and similar reasons... but with different details than in the lecture.
Note Taking and Outlining
Good note-taking is essential to this part of the test. I teach my students to use a note-taking and outlining system like the following:
Writing the Essay
It is best to use a three or four paragraph structure for your essay. Write one introduction and three body paragraphs. These will be fairly short paragraphs, though, as this essay doesn't need to be as long as the independent writing task.
The Introduction
Start with a sentence like "The article and the lecture are about..." followed by "The author of the article feels that..." Continue with a transitional sentence like "The lecturer disagrees/agrees with the article." Conclude with "He says that..."
For the above topic our introduction would be something like this:
"The article and the lecture are about the best place for a child to group up. The author feels that living in the city is best for children. The lecturer disagrees with the author. He says that it is better for a child to live in the country than in the city."
And that's it. Keep your introduction short and sweet. You don't have much time to write this essay!
The Body Paragraphs
You should write one short body paragraph for each of the points (and counterpoints/supports) in the outline above. Be sure to include as many details as you can. Details from the lecture are more impressive (since you only get to listen to it once), but remember that it is also necessary to include details from the reading. Keep in mind that you cannot COPY details from the reading. Use your own words.
Here are some basic tips:
- Begin your first body paragraph with "First" your second with "second" and your third with "third."
- When transitioning from discussing the article to discussing the lecture, use transitional phrases like "the lecturer challenges these claims by stating that..." or "the lecturer casts doubt on this claim." If the lecture supports the reading, try phrases like "the lecturer supports this claim by..." or "the lecturer reinforces the reading by..."
- Don't use boring phrases like "he says that." Try something like "he observes that," "he claims that" or "he suggests that."
Here's a sample body paragraph using the example given above:
"First, the author claims that living in the city is better because cities have more educational opportunities for children. He points out that there are more schools for parents to choose from. He also mentions that there are more amenities like museums, art galleries and academic clubs for students to join. The lecturer casts doubts on these claims by referring to the problems with urban schools. He observes that schools in cities have higher violence and drop-out rates than schools in the country. He suggests that this can have a negative effect on the academic future of children."
And that's how you write a body paragraph for the integrated task. Not too hard, right? You just need to write two more and you will be done the essay. Just remember that it is essential that you write about both the article and the lecture. You will get a very low score (or zero) if you write only about the article.
If you haven't seen it already, you might want to read our article about the independent writing task.

Haslem: Big 3 "came together and made a sacrifice" to have him on Heat
Dec. 28, 2003: Virginia wins second straight bowlStory | Nov 28, 2009 | 10:18 AMTo be blunt, this isn't where Virginia wanted to be. The minute last season ended, the Cavaliers were projected as a favorite for the ACC championship -- and thus the Bowl Championship Series. Coach Al Groh had his eye on the ultimate prize: a national...

"This comfort zone is very difficult to leave," says White. She feels female athletes have even more difficulty in this regard since they are also raised to carry much of the family responsibilities. In White's case she had to help with five sisters and three brothers while training and going to school. "We have to work twice as hard," says White.
In addition to family pressures, other cultural values can discourage runners from seeking personal success. "Culturally, some Native Americans are taught not to be overly competitive or desire to have a lot of personal material possessions," says Daney. He further reflects that running, in particular, has a religious role, serving as a means of "self-sacrifice" in order to please the spirits for the well being of the community. The group thanks the runners for expending their efforts, given as an offering to honor life. In this light, using running for reaping personal rewards or recognition perverts its role and meaning.
Some Native American athletes, however, feel that the traditional culture may not be that influencial. Leslie, for example, says, "Most young Native Americans are not that 'in touch' with the culture. Many runners just don't want to do the hard work needed to get to the next level of accomplishment beyond high school."
Others appear to have a more critical explanation for the lack of Native Americans on the national or international running scene. "We've grown up on the reservation to be average," says Castillo. This may be in large part to the depressed socio-economic environment which has persisted for over a century. When you're not expected to accomplish anything, you have little incentive to strive for any goal. Castillo also expresses the concerns and jealousy associated with leaving the reservation for athletic and academic reasons. "I was looked down upon for leaving because I might be turned into a 'non-Indian' and lose my spiritualness," he laments. "I thought I would see this from other races, but never my own."
However these factors add up, one result is a palpable undercurrent among big time college coaches that Native American runners are recruiting liabilities, with a large percentage of athletes dropping out or transferring to junior college programs closer to their homes. Indeed, the NCAA reported in 1996 that Native American athletes had a graduation rate of 36% at Division I schools compared to a 56% overall rate for other students. "I felt I wasn't recruited for some of the big Arizona colleges, because of this," says White, who went on to distinguish herself at Division II Adams State.
What can be done to reverse these trends? The resounding sentiment of these accomplished runners is the need for positive role models that the youngsters can relate to. "There's not enough visibility for the younger kids," says Castillo, who makes a point to speak with young groups whenever asked. "One of the reasons many kids don't take criticism well is because they never hear positive comments," says White. She also feels that the reason many young athletes are reluctant to leave is the lack of exposure to life and competition off of the reservation.
"Native American runners have to understand that they may need to move out of their immediate communities and train in more competitive environments with more competitive runners if they expect to excel," says Daney. He feels that this transition may often be difficult but not impossible. "Once you leave the community you need to learn a new set of values in terms of competing and time management."
"Until our communities create opportunities for runners, they must go on to college in order to improve," says Daney. Ironically, some of the biggest Native American colleges do not have track or cross country teams. Even Dine College, formerly known as Navajo Community College—the first tribally managed college in the country—has phased out its running programs.
At S.I.P.I., cross country and track are the only varsity sports. The school has been referred to as the "best dynasty you've never heard of," says Daney, with an air of amusement. Since the program's inception in 1991, they have produced four Junior College Marathon Team Championships, a Division II National Junior College Athletic Association Cross Country Championship, 10 individual national champions, and 34 Junior College All-Americans.

TEAMS: Minnesota Timberwolves, Los Angeles Clippers
Minnesota Timberwolves center Nikola Pekovic will miss the next seven to 10 days because of badly bruised right quadriceps. Pekovic was injured in the third quarter against the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday night after a collision with Blake Griffin. Pekovic did not practice on Friday and Timberwolves president David Kahn says he will miss at least a week. Pekovic leads the team in scoring and rebounding and is the latest significant injury to a team beset by them all season long. Shooting guard Alexey Shved sprained his left ankle in the fourth quarter as well and is questionable for the game on Saturday night against Houston. The Timberwolves have lost five games in a row to fall to 16-20, good for 10th place in the Western Conference.

In the aftermath of the Miami New Times report of Tony Bosch and Biogensis, his supposed "anti-aging" clinic that was actually a PED supplier to prominent athletes, more MLB players have been linked to his clinic.
ESPN came out with a piece yesterday claiming Padres shortstop Everth Cabrera, A's reliever Jordan Norberto, 26, Astros outfielder Fernando Martinez, Padres reliever Fautino De Los Santos and Mets outfield prospect Cesar Puello were all on Bosch's list of players who received PEDs.
Cabrera had a breakout season in 2012, leading the National League with 44 stolen bases after never stealing more than 25 bases in a season in his career.
Norberto went 4-1 with a 2.77 ERA in 39 games with the A's last season before suffering from shoulder tendinitis in August, which shut him down for the rest of the season. He had undoubtedly his best season after appearing in only six games in 2011, and in 2010, recorded a 5.85 ERA in 33 games with the Diamondbacks.
Martinez, statistically, had his best season of his career in 2012 (seeing a trend here?). He played in 41 games for the Astros, smacked six home runs and hit .237. In 47 games from 2009-2011 with the Mets, he only hit two homers and failed to reach the Mendoza line in two of those seasons.
De Los Santos, who is now with the Padres, pitched in six games with the A's last season and allowed two runs. In 11 minor league games at Triple A Nashville, he was 1-0 with a 1.98 ERA?
Puello is one of the top outfield prospects in the Mets system, and in fact, is on their 40-man roster as of now. He missed much of last season with a broken bone in his hand. He hit .260 with four home runs in Single A St. Lucie last season.

History has great comic timing. It is 350 years this month since a major political compromise with an uncanny modern-day parallel.
In 1660, there had been no monarchy in England for eleven years. Following the overthrow of Charles I, a variety of alternative systems had been tried, some more democratic than others. But then the more right-wing members of the government did a deal with the royalists who were in exile.
Fearing political instability and a worsening economic situation, they rejected their radical past and reached an agreement with the most reactionary force in politics. They invited the former king's son to take the throne. They assured the country that their moderating influence would temper the royalists' excesses and prevent their abuse of power.
In May 1660, the king's son took power as King Charles II.
The influence of the 'moderates' was short-lived. Charles II broke the promises he had made to them as he presided over worsening poverty and growing resentment towards the rich. His government rapidly became one of the most unpopular in history.
The first part of this story has an obvious parallel this week. Let's hope the second part won't be so closely repeated.

What about smoking odors?and (2) is this something that an air filter can fix?
There is no research in the medical literature about the cancer-causing effects of cigarette odors. Research does show that secondhand tobacco smoke can get into hair, clothing, and other surfaces.
Some researchers call this "thirdhand" smoke. This refers to the toxic particles that are left in the air after you can no longer see the smoke. Over time, they settle on surfaces and can be measured long after the person is done smoking. Though unknown, the cancer-causing effects would likely be very small compared with direct exposure to secondhand smoke, such as living in a house with a smoker. But this is an active area of tobacco research.
Can Air Filters Protect Me from Secondhand Smoke?posted by pracowity at 5:38 AM on October 21, 2010 [2 favorites]
The only effective way to eliminate environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) -- also called "secondhand" smoke -- is to eliminate the source of smoke: get smokers in your family to quit smoking. Some air cleaners may help to reduce secondhand smoke to a limited degree, but no air filtration or air purification system can completely eliminate all the harmful constituents of secondhand smoke.

Glendale, Ariz. • Los Angeles gave up a goal from the center line, and another tying goal on a miscommunication.
The way the Kings dominated the rest of the game, not to mention how they've played on the road in the playoffs, those two slipups certainly weren't going to derail their bid to take home-ice advantage from the Phoenix Coyotes.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Overwhelming Phoenix from the start, the Kings overcame a couple of rare miscues by goalie Jonathan Quick to open the Western Conference finals with a 4-2 victory over the Coyotes on Sunday night to remain unbeaten on the road in the playoffs.
Quick rebounded from his mistakes with some big saves in Phoenix's closing flurry and Dwight King scored his second goal into an empty net in the final minute, giving Los Angeles its sixth straight road playoff victory, one short of the NHL record for a single postseason. They also won their final two road playoff games last year.
"We all know on our team that wasn't going to beat us," Kings center Jarret Stoll said. "That's just the way we played."
With a week off after sweeping St. Louis in the second round, the Kings were far from rusty, dominating the Coyotes early. Los Angeles controlled the puck for long stretches of the first period to set up Anze Kopitar's goal 4 minutes in on the way to their sixth straight victory.
Phoenix rallied to tie twice, the first one on a shot by Derek Morris that surprised Quick from the red line, but the Kings kept coming.
Dustin Brown had a goal and an assist, King had his first career two-goal game, Salt Lake City's Trevor Lewis had two assists, and Los Angeles outshot Phoenix 48-27.
Game 2 is Tuesday night in the desert.

Jo Nesbo ebook for $4.99!
We've got the ebook of Jo Nesbo's The Redbreast on sale for just $4.99 for a limited time! The Redbreast is the third novel in the Harry Hole series, but the earliest available in the US. The New York Times called it "an elegant and complex thriller" and the Washington Post felt it was "a hugely impressive achievement."
Detective Harry Hole embarrassed the force, and for his sins he's been reassigned to mundane surveillance tasks. But while monitoring neo-Nazi activities in Oslo, Hole is inadvertently drawn into a mystery with deep roots in Norway's dark past, when members of the government willingly collaborated with Nazi Germany. More than sixty years later, this black mark won't wash away—and disgraced old soldiers who once survived a brutal Russian winter are being murdered, one by one. Now, with only a stained and guilty conscience to guide him, an angry, alcoholic, error-prone policeman must make his way safely past the traps and mirrors of a twisted criminal mind. For a conspiracy is taking rapid and hideous shape around Hole … and Norway's darkest hour may be still to come.
Get it now! The sale lasts until January 16th.

At last! Looks like they finally found the guy who stole my body!
I wouldn't hang Elliot on my wall...
...but he's more than welcome in my bedroom.
Now that would look fantastic in my living room...and he goes with everything!
Elliot needs to invest in a pair of jeans from this decade.
Because sometimes, one just has to pose shirtless with his cat, preferably with a far off look while thinking "how did I end up on this library ladder wearing no shirt?"...
Kitty and a hot dude? I want THAT bedroom!
Terry's photo is fantastic as well as the others that are linked to.
love minimalism
(maybe the jeans are... too much? Remove.)
That cat looks like "oh, no, this again...." ;^)
Ugg..I could never post on this thread. My photoshop skills aren't quite good enough to give myself that set of abs.
I'm sorry was there a room in that photo? I'm blinded by the abs.
Elliot being a contortionist, was a pleasure to work with... and if you're wondering. Those are his abs, no touch up needed. :)
Um...sorry...can we go over that bit on the room one more time?

Is A Group Practice Without Walls Right For You?
- Volume 25 - Issue 10 - October 2012
- 22395 reads
- 0 comments
Insurance negotiations. It is frequently frustrating for small group podiatrists to compare the private insurance fees received by large group medical providers with the fees paid to small podiatry practices for the same CPT codes. However, private insurers will not be inclined to pay higher fees based on group size alone. The group practice without walls must provide additional information and come up with its own unique value proposition.
Group discounts. You might be surprised that there are various vendors that are eager to do business with large podiatric practices. Consider joining or forming a managed service organization to handle these issues.
Ancillary services. The pooling of resources and economies of scale present in a large group practice offer some potentially profitable sources of ancillary income. Ambulatory surgical centers, physical therapy centers and radiologic and diagnostic testing centers may be feasible for a large group practice. Pathology lab services, in which the practice does the technical component of the lab service and a licensed pathologist provides the professional component of the service, offer one of the most potentially profitable ancillary income opportunities.
Clinical integration. The Internal Revenue Service and other regulatory agencies require a group medical practice to be "clinically integrated." The group practice without walls model complies with these requirements via protocols, chart review and outcomes data. The development of research projects, particularly involving the care of patients with diabetes, is encouraged.
In Conclusion
The group practice without walls concept is a viable option for like-minded podiatrists to come together for their mutual benefit. This practice model is attractive to podiatrists who are willing to compromise, desire to maintain a high degree of independence, seek to remain part of the mainstream of medicine and want to play a role in emerging healthcare constructs.
Dr. McDonald practices in Concord, N.C., and is one of the managers of the NC Podiatric Physicians and Surgeons Group, PLLC.

You can get the double 2 pc of spirit and crit PvP gear. Even if you prefer one stat or the other, the slight reduction in weakened soul duration isn't worth the extra 100 resi in my opinion. At 1300 resi I very rarely get stomped on by rogues and love duelling them, since they often get overjoyed at a clothy target only to faceplant. Keep in mind that I'm a low rated 2v2er and occasional dueller/BGer when reading my various musings.
Interrupts and silences are a major concern so preemptively PoMing, renewing and shielding will counteract some of that. Against enemy disc priest you'll most likely be offensively dispelling, offensively fearing and offensively mana burning. I always feel a pang of guilt mana burning an enemy priest though - usually they'd do just the same to me, but its a pain and there's very little you can do to counteract it. Try to get power infusion up and pop your haste trinket before spamming mana burn. If your opponent has used a haste trinket and yours is down, its not always a good idea to try mana burning back, so just kite behind a pillar. Strip enemy priests of fear ward and try using yours as one approaches. Bind a macro where you cancel spell casting to either shadow word: death or fear ward to prevent abrupt fears or polymorphs.
Feared or sapped enemies are perfect candidates for dispelling. Try keeping enemy healers in line of sight if they're Holy Palas or Resto Druids - you don't necessarily need to mana burn, but you really need to get innervate or divine plea down as soon as possible - they'll probably also try to cyclone or stun your shadowfiend to win the mana war. Binding mass dispel to inner focus/stop casting/power infusion has worked out for me as well, as with those buffs its a 0.3 second cast time which can make a huge amount of difference against a pala or mage. Against enemy shaman use a mouseover sw:d macro, get close to them, wait for them to drop tremor and sw:d/fear. Always keep an eye out for mana tide totem.
Using /stopcasting with flash heal or penance in order to waste an enemy kick is something a lot of priests recommend, though I feel that with rogue kicks and DK mind freezes I can usually live with an interrupted flash heal and just use the penance in 5 seconds time knowing that it will have its full affect.
Martyrdom is almost worth it for counterspell alone, but only almost. No holy spells (including shield, penance etc.) for 8 seconds is more than enough time for 2 enemies to kill a priest. If under 80% hp without buffs due to spellsteal a good mage will also be able to kill a priest. In fact, killing a PvP healer is almost always reliant on interrupts (or stuns), healing reductions or mana drains. Its very rare that burst alone will kill a well geared PvP healer.
Mind control can be used liberally as an interrupt, in order to peel dps for you, in order to waste an interrupt for full healing effect, or as CC - for example, in 2v2 I'm confident my partner can lock down a PvE geared dps, so I will fear the healer, mind control, then whether or not they've blown their trinket, my partner will usually blind them. Then I assist with dps on my partner's target. Just be mindful that if they're DoTed and mind controlled, PoM can heal them, HoTs will still affect them and mind control can be broken by damaging or interrupting the priest or dispelling the effect. It wont be very effective if there's a free dps nearby or you're attempting to MC one of 2 dps on you, whether or not they have interrupts. It also has a very short range, so if you plan on fear -> DoT -> MC, you may have to chase down your target. Another random tip: if you're up against a mage with nibelung, you can shackle undead the Valkyrie that pops out.
Also, I made my disc spec at some point in 3.2 where not as many priests went for silent resolve and most went for crit gear, though there's been a major swing where top tier arena priests are using it and switching to haste gear. Perhaps its due to a preponderance of range cleave with spellsteal/counterspell or purge/wind shear?
Finally: skilled dps of any class will be a problem for a priest (Well, at my awful skill level at any rate). I mentioned I enjoy duelling rogues, but there's a rogue on my server who is in the top 2v2 team that I've never beaten. Likewise, I'm fairly confident against ret paladins, shaman and warriors, but I've been beaten by PvP geared fury warriors, arms warriors, enh shaman and ret paladins. I've been unable to nuke down a resto druid who stayed in bear who then cycloned my shadowfiend when I was oom and proceeded to bash my hymn of hope. That said, I haven't lost to a boomkin since level 80. Class imbalance can somewhat be overcome by skill and gear. But the 3 classes I tend to hate in a 1v1 scenario are affliction locks, arms warriors and shadow priests. Its almost impossible to dispel a shadow priests fear ward due to stacks of shadow weaving (so can rarely peel against them) they do too much damage within range to mana burn and can interrupt or dispel any of my offensive or defensive spells, not to mention having more interrupts and more mana cooldowns. On top of that, in shadow priest/dps vs. healer/dps if the healer gets killed and the dps on the shadow priest is out of cooldowns and low on health, the shadowpriest can break shadow form and heal with an efficiency topping any hybrid bar, perhaps, boomkin.
Afflic locks the problem is somewhat simpler: in a 1v1 scenario, I can't outdps health funnel or life drain, nor outlast mana drains when coupled with their dps. They'll also have me ping ponging all over the place with their various fears and their fel hunter will eat my shield, power infusion and various buffs. Sometimes I manage to kill their pet behind a pillar only for them to pop fel domination and summon it again. Oh, not to mention I could be behind a pillar 50% of a fight and not be able to drink due to a pet being on me. Though that's a problem with unholy DKs and hunters as well.
Warriors have berserker rage (1 peel down), furious attacks or mortal strike and can interrupt mind control, as well as keeping me highly immobile most of the game with the undispellable hamstring. Some arms warriors with low dps I can DoT, fear, mind control when they berserker rage. With good gear (high ArP usually) I'm forced to use defensive cooldowns the whole battle and by the time bladestorm's popped I'm as good as finished. Fury warriors with furious attacks take a little longer to down me, but eventually do as enraged regeneration and bloodthirst outheal my DoTs and reflective shield.
Wow, that was almost as long as the article itself. Lots of good stuff there.
Out of curiosity I copied a disco priest to the PTR a while back, and became so thoroughly hooked that I decided to level one. This article ( and the comments :) ) will help me a lot as I really enjoy battleground leveling.

Chinese Buddhist temple drops Heritage bid to avert demolition
From K J M Varma
Beijing, Apr 12 (PTI) A 1,300-year-old Buddhist temple in China housing the remains of Xuan Zang, the famous Chinese monk who travelled to India to retrieve Buddhist scriptures in the seventh century, dropped plans to get UNESCO Heritage status following public uproar to demolish parts of it.
Xingjiao Temple, a renowned Buddhist site located in Chang''an District of the provincial capital Xi''an, quit its participation in the application saying the demolition would affect its religious activities and normal life of Buddhists, state-run Xinhua news agency reported today.
"If they demolish the buildings under the current plan, it is still possible that the application for UNESCO Heritage will be vetoed by the international panel," Master Kuanshu, the temple spokesman said.
"But if Xingjiao Temple takes the initiative to quit, it will not affect the province''s application," he said.
According to the government''s plan, some of the newer buildings that are unmatched with the original style of the temple, including the dinning hall and dormitories, will be demolished by June 30.
The move is part of preparations for an application for UNESCO World Heritage status for several sites in Shaanxi province along the Silk Road, an ancient trade route running from the Middle East to China.
Xingjiao Temple holds the remains of Xuanzang, a famous Chinese monk who traveled to India to retrieve Buddhist scriptures in the seventh century and inspired epic Chinese classical novel ''Journey to the West''.
Zhang Jinlai, who played the Monkey King in a popular 1988 TV adaptation of Journey to the West in a comment posted on Sina Weibo, a Twitter-like microblog service, called on the religious affairs administration to interfere.
Zhang''s comments had been reposted more than 180,000 times and received more than 40,000 comments, most of which supported his appeal.
The Buddhist Association of China said it was shocked and worried about the plans for Xingjiao Temple, according to a statement posted on its website yesterday.
"Demolishing temple buildings without getting permission from the residing Buddhists seriously violates religious policy and laws, and infringes upon the legal rights of the Buddhist community," it said. (more) PTI KJV

"Though born a slave, he possessed virtues without which kings are but slaves"
Celebrating the Life of Pyrrhus Concer
Pyrrhus Concer (born in Southampton, NY in 1814), was a freed slave who went on to become an important figure in US History, and left a memorable legacy in the community. It was he who first conceived of the Agawam Ferry, and operated a small sailing vessel transporting passengers from the village to the beach in the mid-1800's. To commemorate his life, and to relive that aspect of our local maritime culture, we plan to run that ferry again. For a brief video of Pyrrhus Concer's life, see below.

Why PBF Energy (PBF) Stock Is Down Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- PBF Energy (PBF) stock is sliding on Thursday after the company priced its previously-announced secondary offering of 18 million shares of common stock. Selling stockholders The Blackstone Group and First Reserve Management will receive all proceeds of the offering, approximately totaling $540 million.
Citigroup and Deutsche Bank Securities are underwriters of the offering, which is expected to close June 17.
By midmorning, shares had slipped 4.7% to $29.92. Trading volume of 2.3 million was nearly double its three-month daily average.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite StocksSTOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. TheStreet Ratings team rates PBF ENERGY INC as a Hold with a ratings score of C-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate PBF ENERGY INC (PBF) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed -- some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its increase in net income, attractive valuation levels and good cash flow from operations. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including disappointing return on equity and poor profit margins." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry. The net income increased by 579.0% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $11.41 million to $77.44 million.
- The current debt-to-equity ratio, 0.59, is low and is below the industry average, implying that there has been successful management of debt levels. Even though the company has a strong debt-to-equity ratio, the quick ratio of 0.47 is very weak and demonstrates a lack of ability to pay short-term obligations.
- The gross profit margin for PBF ENERGY INC is currently extremely low, coming in at 6.95%. Regardless of PBF's low profit margin, it has managed to increase from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 1.63% trails the industry average.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. In comparison to the other companies in the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry and the overall market, PBF ENERGY INC's return on equity is significantly below that of the industry average and is below that of the S&P 500.

The UVa women's soccer team has advanced to the third round of the NCAA Tournament for the eight straight season with a 6-1 win over Rutgers Friday night at Klockner Stadium.
Rutgers scored the first goal in the seventh minute. Virginia answered with six unanswered goals, three in the first half and three in the second half. Caroline Miller had two goals and an assist to lead the 'Hoos.
"I think we are playing our best soccer of the season right now," said Miller. "We are peaking at the right time. We are moving the ball well, creating a lot of chances and just playing well as a group. We have been playing with a lot of confidence over the past few games."
"Our attack was the difference tonight," said Swanson. "We wanted to use the flank and wanted to switch the point of attack and we did both of those very well. Our ball movement and possession was key tonight because they are so good on counters. After that first goal, we were able to limit their opportunities because of what we were doing offensively."
Virginia will now host Duke in the round of 16 Sunday at 4pm.

Rush Limbaugh is a Loser
March 4th 2012 23:01
Advertisers are dropping like flies in the wake of the idiot Rush Limbaugh leveling personal attacks on a defenseless woman.
Makes you wonder if Mr Talent on Loan from Satan is dipping into the Hillbilly Heroin again.
Excuse me but is this how Limbaugh's parents raised him? They told him there is actually a right time to call a woman you don't know a filthy name? Especially if you are rich and power and she is, relatively speaking, nothing and nobody?
If you want to attack the politicians for holding a hearing based on the notion of "free" sex for everyone, now that might be an interesting debate. Or you could have talked about government sex for everyone. That too would have garnered attention.
Moreover, any elected politician is fair game and every political body is a Parliament of Whores and a Ship of Fools by definition. We always have the best politicians money can buy--there is no way around this in a representative democracy.
Limbasm has a opinion audit that supposedly confirms his opinions to be 99.99% right. Well looks like they are now 100% wrong since no one wants to pay for his verbal diarrhea or audio auto eroticism anymore.
Limbaugh, there are indeed sluts, whores and prostitutes in the world. For Rush Limbaugh, every single one of them can be found in the mirror.
