Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I really don't have much use for the glyph to replace the Ankh. My 3 minors let me:
1) Waterwalk without a reagent
2) Waterbreathe without a reagent
3) Hearth every 7.5 minutes.
I just use Steal Your Carbon to automatically keep my ankhs at 10 when I stop by a vendor. I find I use the above far more often than I need to do a self rez.
Obvious it's up to each shaman, but personally I glyph for Reincarnation instead of Water Breathing. Personally, I get very little use out of Water Breathing; if I need to be under a long time, the game frequently provides a Water Breathing buff, or I can slap on my Kalu'ak fishing pole, or just use change one of my other minors to Water Breathing for a short time.
I realize short cooldowns on Astral Recall is a bit devalued, now that we can have 15-minute hearths and all, but man, it's a god damn life-saver if you're gonna do Archaelogy. Only thing better would be to be a Mage.
Good article. With two gathering professions you should be able to get what glyphs you need even at low level though.
For minor glyphs, I always get the ones to remove reagents. I use them a lot; I have water walking macroed to my mount and water breathing to my ghost wolf (as a castsequence when swimming.)
As for astral recall, if you keep your hearthstone instead you have two separate cooldowns going which means you will almost always have one of them available. A hearthstone is also cheap to throw away if you suddenly need bag space for a quest item.
So you have a glyph to make the shaman version of a spell as good as the warlock spell is baseline. (They get swim speed out of their minor)
A glyph to make the shaman version of a Death Knight spell still much worse.
And arguably the best minor for utility there is.
I really don't get why Shaman are saddled with these crappy versions of spells that require reagents which you can't even buy. Go look at a reagent vendor, they have like 4 things on them now. Paladins don't need any, druids lost a bunch and except for mages moving around it is pretty much a non-issue for almost every class.
I really think they should just delete minor glyphs that aren't cosmetic or add something to the spell that isn't more than just "it's marginally less expensive."
I agree they should delete the regents in general for waterwalk and waterbreathing. I think the reason I liked the glyphs when the whole system first came out was I was sick of storing those fish oils and fish scales.
I really don't get Blizz and their refusal to change things which put us at a disadvantage compared to other classes.

It's 10 years since Charlie Parker's wife and daughter were murdered in Connolly's first novel, Every Dead Thing, but fate is still dealing him duff cards. Stripped of his PI's licence, Parker is living alone and working in a Portland bar when he decides to investigate the mystery that has haunted him all his life: why did his NYPD cop father shoot two unarmed teenagers, then turn the gun on himself? And what does this have to do with the more recent murder - staged to look like a suicide - of a young man whose ex-girlfriend believes she's been cursed? The supernatural element in Connolly's Parker books has always annoyed some fans, who feel it nudges what are essentially crime novels too far into Stephen King territory. It's present here as an unobtrusive background hum - the perfect complement to Parker's measured narration.

Emmanuel Nursery School holds a very special place in my heart. As a parent you want what is best for your child and you want to feel comfortable with the teachers you are trusting your children with. When I was looking for a preschool for our daughter I knew when I talked with the 3 wonderful teachers and visited the school that this was the place for our family. The environment that these teachers provide is one that every parent looks for in a school: safe, educational, loving, and fun! I highly recommend Emmanuel to any family looking for a preschool for their little one!
Emmanuel Nursery School is a wonderful place for a child to experience school for the first time. All three of my children have attended this school. The same teachers have been at the school for many, many years. They are very special ladies who immediately put both parents and children at ease! The school is very affordable compared to the other preschools in town. And they are willing to work with you to make their program meet your needs. I highly recommend this school!!!
My child has enjoyed attending Emmanuel. They have done some very nice projects, and their field trips have been educational and fun. Their school is in a church, which has an awesome space - VERY large compared to the other preschools in town. They even have a special lav with kids sized fixtures, a dedicated room for reading, a separate large coatroom, and wonderful (and safe) playground that is not close to any roads. The director (and teacher) Judy is very kind to the children, and the kids in turn, LOVE her. She has been there for 20 yrs as well. All of the staff has been there for a long time, which is great. I highly recommend this preschool, especially if you are looking for a preschool mainly for your child to learn social skills and be in classroom before they enter K. We have also found that the afternoon sessions have less children, so an even lower ratio of kids: teachers, which we love (and is almost unheard of!), something like 3 teachers for 12 kids!
Great non-religious program for the little ones. Safe location, well-kept facility with good teacher/student ratio. Excellent staff & stimulating curriculum with crafts, activities and play time - our boy loves going there!

Yet on other occasions, the pass rush came, so Keenum didn't have time to wait for the long ball to develop.
I think they switched Mathis over to Newton's side . Then he basically figged Newton .

The North Carolina state Senate has given its initial OK to legislation that would block expansion of Medicaid under the health care overhaul and let the federal government build the state's health insurance exchange. Republicans gave tentative approval to the bill Monday night in a party-line, 31-17 vote despite concerns from the administration of new GOP Gov. Pat McCrory. His top advocate at the General Assembly wrote to senators asking for additional time to examine the financial impact of the bill. Fred Steen said the governor agrees with the concepts in the measure against expansion and the state's involvement in an exchange. A final Senate vote is expected Tuesday. Democrats voting no say rejecting the Medicaid expansion will deny needed insurance coverage to hundreds of thousands of residents.
"We are not running a state exchange because, to be honest,
there's no such thing," said the bill's primary sponsor, Sen. Tom Apodaca. "A state exchange gives no state control but would cost
the people of North Carolina $100 million a year. The federal government chose
to mandate health exchanges, so it should pay for them.
"And Obamacare's changes to Medicaid would cost North
Carolinians close to a billion dollars through 2019. The federal government is
trying to bait us in with 'free' federal money that switches to state money
after a few years, leaving our taxpayers holding the bag. We are working to
protect the economic health of our state."

According to some very reliable sources, Quebec promoter Alan Labrosse would take over l'Autodrome St-Eustache, a very popular 4/10 mile oval combined to a road race circuit close to Montreal.
The official announcement should be made on Saturday November 24 when l'Autodrome will have its annual banquet.
Labrosse is also manager of Quebec drivers Andrew Ranger, NASCAR Canadian Tire's first champ and Champ Car driver Alex Tagliani. Tagliani still doesn't have a seat in Champ Car for the upcoming season but has expressed the wish to drive a NASCAR Canadian Tire car as often as his schedule will allow in 2008.

KEIRA KNIGHTLEY took her top off for the cover of Allure's December issue, according to celebrity news.
How hot is this?
Keira Knightley proudly went topless for her new daring cover shoot for the Holiday issue of Allure magazine.
With only a tiny leather jacket draped over her shoulders—and nothing at all covering her upper body in another photo—the engaged actress showed off her sexy white complexion, slim waist and cleavage while hugging her humble breasts.
Although Knightley does seem a little too skinny in the liberating shoot by famed photographer, Mario Testino, she used the opportunity to clear up rumors that claimed she was suffering an eating disorder as early as 2007.
The British beauty admitted in the accompanying interview:
"The anorexic stuff — all of that — it's always going to have an impact, so I think it did hit pretty hard. Because you go, 'Oh, maybe that's right!' I knew I wasn't anorexic, but maybe my body is somehow not right. Or my face is not right. Or the way I speak is not right."
She then revealed that even though she's been in showbiz for a while now, negative comments still get into her head. Keira told the mag:
"When you're going through a period where you're really getting a lot of criticism, you go, 'Maybe all this is right! You just kind of want to hide it all.'"
Perhaps Keira should stop minding her critics and check herself out better in the mirror because she looks gorgeous just the way she is!
Don't you agree?

See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
We built a ship upon the stairs
All made of the back-bedroom chairs,
And filled it full of soft pillows
To go a-sailing on the billows.
We took a saw and several nails,
And water in the nursery pails;
And Tom said, "Let us also take
An apple and a slice of cake;"--
Which was enough for Tom and me
To go a-sailing on, till tea.
We sailed along for days and days,
And had the very best of plays;
But Tom fell out and hurt his knee,
So there was no one left but me.

Do you deliver?
We use an outside courier service to deliver. They charge a $20 fee for most local deliveries, including Olive Branch, Southaven, Collierville, Germantown, and West Memphis.
Millington, Brighton, Atoka, Hernando, MS have a slightly higher delivery fee.
Do I need to call the courier?
Part of our service is to coordinate all couriers. Because we do some much catering, we have a great relationship with these couriers and they are very reliable.
Can I use my own courier?
You are welcome to pick up any order! We will coordinate a pick-up time with you to make sure your time is not wasted waiting on an order.
I have only eight people. Do I have to pay for twelve?
Our catering packages are designed to feed larger groups with bulk pricing. You fill find that even though you are buying for twelve, you will be about the same if you ordered eight individual entrees off of our everyday menus.
I have 14 people. How do you charge?
You will be charged the package price times fourteen. Remember that twelve people are our minimum order size. We set a minimum to guarantee the best value when ordering bulk. Packaging must be taken into account therefore a minimum of people must be set when offering bulk prices.
I have 28 people, can I order two separate packages to offer more variety to my guests?
The answer is YES as long as the minimum order is 12 people or more.
For example: You want to order a Honey Citrus Salmon package for 13 people and a Meatloaf package for 15 people. Combined they make up 28 people but neither package falls short of our minimum requirements.
Ken & Jeff
owners & friends since 8th grade!

Northern Iowa (19-13) at Saint Joseph's (20-13)
The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Wednesday, March 14, 7:15 p.m. (ET)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Hagan Arena (4,200) -- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Television: ESPN3.com. NIT Record: Northern Iowa 0-0, Saint Joseph's 16-14. Series Record: First-ever meeting.
GAME NOTES: The Saint Joseph's Hawks return to the postseason for the first time since 2008 as they earned the second seed and will host the seventh- seeded Northern Iowa Panthers in the first round of the National Invitation Tournament.
Northern Iowa will be making its fourth consecutive trip to the postseason after NCAA Tournament appearances in 2009 and 2010, and a trip to the CIT last season. The Panthers finished with a 9-9 mark in the Missouri Valley Conference, which had them in a five-way tie for third place. At 19-13 overall, a win tonight would give UNI 20 wins for the fourth consecutive year, adding to the MVC's longest active streak.
Saint Joseph's enjoyed a return to relevance in the Atlantic 10 this season, going 20-13 and 9-7 in conference. The Hawks won their first-round game in the A-10 tourney against Charlotte, but lost in the quarterfinals to eventual champion St. Bonaventure, 71-68. SJU last played in the NIT in 2006, when it won a first-round home game versus Rutgers.
This bouts marks the first-ever meeting between Northern Iowa and Saint Joseph's on the hardwood.
Northern Iowa has just one player who averages double figures in points in Anthony James (13.3 ppg), who was named to the All-MVC honorable mention squad for the second straight season. Falling just shy of double digits is Seth Tuttle (9.2 ppg), and he was named the league's Freshman of the Year. He also led the league in field goal percentage (.652), becoming the first freshman in MVC history to do so. While the offense leaves something to be desired (65.2 ppg), the Panthers' defensive effort has been strong all year, ranking first in the conference in scoring defense (61.8 ppg), while also falling on the positive side of turnover margin (+1.41).
Phil Martelli's bunch had an outstanding year in terms of individual honors, as five Hawks received at least one Atlantic 10 honor, the most in program history. Their impressive offense (72.2 ppg) is paced by one of the best scoring duos in the league in Carl Jones and Langston Galloway. Jones leads the team in scoring (16.8 ppg) and steals (1.2 spg) while adding 3.2 apg, and Galloway nets 15.8 ppg and was the A-10's most prolific three-point shooter, draining 90 treys at an incredible 47.4 percent clip. Ronald Roberts, Jr. (10.9 ppg, 6.0 rpg) does all of his damage from off the bench and earned the A-10 Sixth Man of the Year award, and C.J. Aiken ranks fourth in the nation in blocked shots (3.6 bpg) and was named the conference's Defensive Player of the Year. Rounding out the SJU attack is Halil Kanacevic, who brings stability to the front court with 8.3 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 3.7 apg and 1.7 bpg.
While Northern Iowa has a defensive attack that should be able to slow the Hawks down slightly, the Panthers don't nearly have enough firepower to keep up with even a subdued SJU attack, especially on the road.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Saint Joseph's 70, Northern Iowa 62

Whisky Type
Big Peat Islay blended malt Scotch whiskey. A shovelful of single malts distilled at Ardbeg, Coal Ila, Bowmore and Port Ellen bottled unchillfiltered.
Winner 'Scotch Vatted Malt of the Year' 2011 in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible™ (96 points).
Pure Islay in a glass; unmistakable bellowing raw peat smoke, new-laid tar, salt, mint and medicinal aromas. On the plate is a smooth and warming full bodied malt brimmed with medicinal yummyness. If you have any inkling towards smoky Islay malts don't miss this one. TWB November 2009.

Some countries get a bit spoiled at the Olympics. The U.S.A., China, GB, Russia and other powerhouse nations win so many gold medals that one cannot possibly be expected to remember the name of each Olympic champion.
This is not a problem Colombians have had to deal with. They will not likely soon forget the name Mariana Pajon, winner of the women's BMX final today. She did it in dominating fashion, winning all three of her semifinal heats and then leading from start to finish in the final. Not that winning is new to Pajon, she has been collecting national titles since she was 5, and world titles since she was 9.
Her gold medal was only the second in the history of her country, and at only 20 years of age she might also win the third, four years from now.
Felicitaciones Colombia!

Bronze for the Canadian women's soccer team. Diana Matheson scores two minutes into stoppage time to give Canada the win over France, 1-0.

Canada's loss to the U.S. in the women's soccer semifinal on Monday was heartbreaking, obviously. Canada is still guaranteed its best finish ever in a major tournament (Olympics or Women's World Cup), but that is no great consolation for the Canadian women—they wanted more.
And Christine Sinclair wanted more more than anyone. When the games are over there will be some discussion, as there always is, as to who was the 'figure' of the games. Bolt? Murray? For me the question is already answered, it's Sinclair. I love the Olympics for many reasons, but first and foremost because it allows us the opportunity to shine the spotlight on those athletes who otherwise compete in relative obscurity. I'm glad that Canada, and the world, has had the chance to see one of the greatest female soccer players in world lifting herself and her team to unexpected heights.
Christine Sinclair has been voted Canadian soccer player of the year seven years in a row. She has been nominated by FIFA for world female player of the year five times. Tomorrow morning at 8AM Christine and the Canadian women will play France for bronze, do not miss your chance to watch her play.
Two-time medalist Simon Whitfield of Canada, seen here hugging his wife, crashed out of the the triathlon today. Great Brits Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee win gold and bronze, respectively.

There is only one Olympic discipline in which men and women compete against each other without restrictions. Yes, there is mixed tennis and badminton, but those sports require that each country be represented by at least and at most one member of each sex.
For the equestrian events, however, each country sends its best rider, regardless of gender. 8 countries will be represented by 30 athletes in tomorrow's showjumping final. 4 of them will be women. A fifth, Canada's Tiffany Foster (pictured above), was disqualified after her horse was found to have a scratch on one of its legs.

My god. Look at those qualifying times. In 1984 Carl Lewis won gold with a time of 9.99. Today, he would have been on the bubble for finals qualifying.
These guys are absolutely flying. Do not miss the final at 4:50PM EST.
Andy Murray defeats Roger Federer for gold. Great Britain explodes.

Day 9 is gonna be a good one, here's what to watch:
Weightlifting: Women's 75KG final starts at 11AM EST (Watch for American Sarah Robles, pictured above.)
Athletics: Men's 100M final at 4:50PM EST (Lots of stuff happening on the track, but this is the money event.)
Cycling: Men's Omnium final at 1:15 (I'll prolly tune in to this one just to find out what the heck it is.)
Diving: Women's 3M Springboard 2PM EST (Heymans and Abel both qualified for Canada.)
Gymnastics: Men's floor final starting at 9AM EST
Tennis: Finals starting at 5AM (Massive day at Wimbledon, including Federer vs. Murray at 10AM EST)
There you have it. Also in action are Misty May and Kerri Walsh as well as Canada and U.S. ladies hoops.
It's been a week, and I don't know about you but I'm ready to get out of the pool and onto the track. It's been fun, but there are a lot of great story lines to follow coming up in week two. Here's what to watch tomorrow (Saturday):
Athletics - Lots of finals, including Heptathlon, 10,000M, Long Jump and Discus
Badminton - Finals starting at 5:00AM EST, continue all day (Canadian team of Bruce/Lee, yes Bruce/Lee, go for bronze)
Cycling - Women's team final at 12:30 EST (Dotsie Bausch, pictured above, and the American women will look to medal here)
Rowing - Four medals to be given out, beginning at 6:00AM EST
Swimming - Four finals starting at 2:30PM EST (Ryan Cochrane looks for Canada's first gold in the 1500M free, American men look to continue dominance in the 4x100 free)
Tennis - 4 medal matches, starting at 8:00AM EST (Williams vs. Sharapova for gold)
Trampoline - Women's final at 10:30AM EST (Karen Cockburn of Canada will be among the favorites)
Looks like it should be a promising day, especially for Canadian athletes whose last names begin with the word "Coch", or some orthographic variation thereof. Also be sure to check out the In-Kobe's-Dreams Team vs. Lithuania at 9:30 AM EST.
Trying to watch the men's trampoline final in peace, but my girlfriend keeps giggling whenever the announcer says "Dong Dong".
UPDATE: Dong Dong takes gold, who's laughing now?
North America always does things differently. The Olympic medal table is no exception. While the rest of the world displays the medal standings by the number of gold medals won, Canada and the U.S. tend to list the table sorted by total medals won.
I personally prefer total medals (and not just because Canada is goldless!), but I did come across a third method today. It's the medals per-capita, or number of medals won divided by population. Although not perfectly telling, it does attempt to neutralize the billion-person advantage that China has over a country like, say, New Zealand.
As of this morning, Slovenia leads.

Put Aurora down for her nap. She was wearing a diaper and a dress. The dress ties at the back of her neck. The dress was once a shirt that a young Holly wore. Put Aurora down for her nap about 90 minutes after her usual nap time.
Errands today, several, though she got a doughnut out of it (powdered sugar with a vanilla cream filling, only because Avery was eating a chocolate doughnut and Aurora knew I had grabbed a second doughnut and hadn't given it to her) and several treats at Costco. Down for her nap with little fuss (she's good like that; gets more sleep than any of us, and has always been a better sleeper than Avery was at her age or is now).
Heard Aurora, when she woke up, but she doesn't cry anymore, usually. Instead, she babbles, turns on her mobile, and sits there, listening to Mozart or the baroque musician she happens to pick (even her mobile is an educational opportunity). Only when I come to get her does she stand, tilt her head one way, and smile, as if she is saying (without knowing the right words): What took so long, daddy; I've been waiting?
Smiling in her crib, when I opened the door to her room. And naked. The diaper on the floor next to her crib, the dress (which had been tied) untied, also on the floor. Aurora, there, in her crib, standing, only wearing the blue slipper shoes I put her in this morning before we ran our errands.

Meat Loaf- Hell In A Handbasket
Two years after peaking at number 4 in UK charts with Hang Cool Teddy Bear, the big man is back with what he calls 'his most honest record', Hell In A Handbasket. The album may come as a shock to those whose knowledge of Meat Loaf spans only as far as Bat out Of Hell. More seasoned fans, however, will recognise that it's not a world away from Hang Cool Teddy Bear or indeed 2006's Bat Out Of Hell III, pushing the boundaries of his more traditional power ballads, while adding a touch of heavy metal and, dare we say it, even hip-hop.
The theme of honesty is ripe from the first track 'All of Me', in which Meat sets the tone for the album: 'this is my anger/this is my shame/these are my insecurities that I can't explain.' The honesty is as raw as the lack of the arguably necessary autotune; while it would be admirable for a man half his age to belt out the kind of operatic ballads for which he is known, at 64, there is no getting away from the perils of an ageing rock voice.
That said, Meat keeps to his promise of delivering passion-driven eulogies to long lost lovers, and 'Another Day' truly pulls at the heartstrings, with nothing more than a simple, yet evocative piano melody and poignant lyrics. Amongst a sea of heavier guitar-driven anthems, 'Another Day' triumphs as the best and most understated track.
Of course, no Meat Loaf album post-1995 would be complete without some attempt to shock, and 'Stand In The Storm' does just that, diverting from country-infused rock into a rather unwelcome rap from fellow Celebrity Apprentice contestant Lil Jon - who provides little more in the rapping stakes than he did for Usher's 'Yeah! (Think 'oooooo-kaaay!') Throw in a moody cover of 'California Dreaming', which frustratingly builds but never reaches a satisfactory crescendo, and you've got yourself the whole Meat Loaf package.
What Hell In A Handbasket lacks in collaborations from Bat Out Of Hell composer Jim Steinman, it makes up for with contributions from the long-standing partner and ever outstanding Patti Russo, with whom Meat duets on 'Our Love and Our Souls'.
Fans of more classic Meat Loaf may like to see him channel his anger in a not so country/hip-hop-esque fashion in future, but Hell In A Handbasket, despite these flaws, is a vast improvement on Hang Cool Teddy Bear. The question remains as to whether or not an eclectic mix of Chuck D and The Mamas and The Papas will light up the charts - only time will tell.

VIDEO: Jay Leno gets emotional during final 'Tonight Show'
After 22 years of hosting "The Tonight Show," Jay Leno finally said goodbye.
In this heartfelt parting message, Leno let the audience know how grateful he is. He called being at the helm of the show "the greatest 22 years of my life," and considers himself one of the luckiest men in the world.
Leno went on to thank all the staff at NBC, from the lighting and sound crews to the writers and producers. In passing the torch to Jimmy Fallon, Leno said he's looking forward to being the "old guy" and sitting back to watch where the show is headed.
He closed out his message with a quote from Johnny Carson, the first host of "Tonight": "I bid you all a heartfelt goodbye."
Leno didn't go out on a sad note. He brought out Garth Brooks to play his classic hit "Friends in Low Places," and the audience sang along as the credits rolled.

Cheap Power Supplies Are Cheap
When the power supply for my old laptop died a few months ago, I didn't want to spend the $70 that Dell wanted for a new one so I bought a cheap $20 one off Amazon. This promptly broke after a couple of months of use. It stopped charging my laptop but the battery didn't discharge while it was plugged in, so I wasn't bothered that much since I mostly use the computer when it's plugged in anyway.
Installing Arch on an Encrypted Hard Drive
I got a new laptop last week and I thought I'd try out Arch since I've been getting a little bored with the Debian universe lately. My old laptop had CrunchBang on it, which was fun to play around with and very fast but I thought I'd challenge myself and try something that wasn't based on Debian.
Syntax Trees for Mathematical Expressions
I got bored on Saturday afternoon so I decided to sit down and write a program that would use a neural network to automatically organize my video collection, renaming files with names like The.Conversation.1974.720p.BluRay.x264-AMiABLE [PublicHD] to something more readable like The Conversation (1974). This is my life…
Anyway, I didn't (still don't) know much of anything about neural networks, so I read some words about them and about genetic algorithms. In doing so, I ended up completing this exercise that uses a genetic algorithm to find a sequence of digits and operators that yields a certain target number. The problem I had was that his examples all parsed the sequences from left to right, ignoring order of operations (e.g. 6+5*4/2+1 = 23 instead of 17). I thought it would be fun to try to actually get the right result from these expressions, so I set out to write a simple parser for them.
Why is Google Translate So Bad?
I saw this post on Reddit this afternoon and it reminded me how terrible Google Translate generally is. Here's the image: Someone in the comments also linked to Translation Party, which translates between English and Japanese until the same thing comes out twice. It shows a lot of interesting problems with the model that Google uses to do translations. This one came off of a bottle of Rain-X I had lying around.

Not Sweet Sweet Potatoes Recipe
This is a recipe I began making years ago when I wanted to do something different with sweet potatoes. I had sweet potatoes and I had onions, so I roasted them together. My husband liked them, I liked them —and so has everyone else who has tasted them. It's a dish that goes together quickly and easily. While I give a baking temperature of 375 and a time of 35 minutes, these potatoes are very good in that they can also be baked at 425 for 20 minutes or 350 for more minutes —or just slip them into the oven with whatever else is baking. Since they are on a cookie sheet, they do not take much head room.
- 3 to 4 orange fleshed sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 large or 2 medium onions, cut in half, then thickly sliced
- 2 tablesspoons olive oil
- kosher salt
- fresh pepper
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Combine cubed sweet potatoes, sliced onions, olive oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Spread on a sprayed flat baking sheet (as a jellyroll pan). Bake for 35 minutes.
- Serve.

The Fragility of the KPSS Stationarity Test
AbstractStationarity tests exhibit extreme size distortions if the observable process is stationary yet highly persistent. In this paper we provide a theoretical explanation for the size distortion of the KPSS test for DGPs with a broad range of first order autocorrelation coefficient. Considering a near-integrated, nearly stationary process we show that the asymptotic distribution of the test contains an additional term, which can potentially explain the amount of size distortion documented in previous simulation studies.

Tumblr has some issues with publishing my asks again, so I had to do it like this.
But anyways, thank youu! ♥
rbeffa replied to your post: yay Kimi ♥
seems legit to me xD
yeah, I think that covers every feel I have about it :D
airrunner replied to your post: okay, either I have missed something or our…
i dont think so?
me neither (for one, neither of them is wearing a ring) but those idiots just keep talking about it and UGH trust me this isn't the first time I want to throw something at their faces because they're so out of everything
rbeffa replied to your post: okay, either I have missed something or our…
naaah, we would know sth about it, I guess…?
maybe I just have to come to the conclusion that those two are idiots and that's the end of this story *shrug*
/edit: 'those two' being our commentators, not J&J
I almost forgot (because I have a problem called 'my main browser doesn't let met tag new photo posts'): nice messages had been dropped into my ask while I was on hiatus. Thanks :) ♥
rbeffa replied to your post: rbeffa replied to your post: Oh, nothing wrong…
haha, oh well, EVERYBODY talks more than Kimi xD
I second that :D
rbeffa replied to your post: Oh, nothing wrong with him, especially driving-wise. But he's just not my type of person, I don't know why but I don't like him, sorry :( and, as it's the same with Pastor (okay, he's pissing me off sometimes, that's a difference), I wouldn't really like such line-up. Plus, I really like Bruno, and he would take his seat, so that's not helping either. Sorry… :c
I'm still sorry, maybe I'll like him more when I get to know him ;) and yeah, I love it when I publish sth instead of answering privately or vice versa… :D
He's okay, we see him quite a lot in Finnish broadcasts. He definitely talks more than Kimi does, haha :D
Oh no no no you don't have to be sorry! You have every right to have that opinion, I'm not denying that, nor am I judging you for it (sorry if I sounded like that, I didn't mean to). But as a Finn I'm of course on his side, so I had to ask :D
/EDIT: ARGH no I didn't mean to publish this adkfgsjdg stupid Tumblr :D
rbeffa replied to your post: Send this to all tumblrs you love. There is no limit to ho…
how are you, by the way? :D
I'm cool, doing some unexpected work days and enjoyig summer :) I don't even mind the rain that has been hanging over Finland for the past two months. Everyone else is probably sick of it.
Thank you! :)
Thanks :) <3
Who tagged me: fuckyeahf1drivers
Explain your tumblr URL
Seb + obviously = sebviously. I'm really proud of my thought process.
You can meet personally and in private with one celebrity, who would it be?
Tom Hiddleston. I don't think this needs explaining *flails*
Who was your first celebrity crush?
Mika Häkkinen. And I was about five :) I started young…
Favourite F1 bromance?
Football or Formula 1? and why?
Formula 1. I've grown up watching it, I don't remember a time I didn't like it. There probably hasn't been a time when I haven't liked it. I'm eternally grateful to my parents for this. Football is… it's just football to me, I'm not that passionate about it. But do not get me started on F1.
Jeans or dress?
Jeans! I dislike dresses strongly. They just ugh, not my type of clothing, not at all.
Active or passive relaxation?
I really can't choose either, but there's one thing I know: I should try both.
Would you move to another country?
After moving away from home I'd say no, because apparently living away from where you've lived your whole life is horrible and miserable and makes you want to die. But the Helsinki anxiety aside, yeah, maybe I could move to another country. I'd love to live near mountains. Or in Great Britain because it's rainy there and I like rain.
If you could have been born in another time period, which would you choose?
Whoaa. I'm really not that into time periods so I basically have no idea what has happened and when, but… nope, nothing comes to my mind. Ugh, maybe in the 60's?
Favourite place?
HOME. I've really grown to appreciate home. Never ever underestimate the importance of it.
Sky or BBC?
BBC without a question! Sky annoys me way too much. I prefer BBC's style, their funny way of presenting things. Sky is too… everything, too 'the best possible'. For some reason it reminds me of American way of doing things. And I don't like it. Besides, you have to pay to watch it, and because paying for F1 is the most idiotic thing ever (hello from Finland where we've been paying for the live broadcasts since 2007) I'm against Sky on principle.
questions, which I'm just going to copy from the other post because I'm too lazy to come up with new ones.
Again tagging just eight. It's my new rule.
rbeffa replied to your post: Drinkin Red Bull from a Ferrari glass… something…
well, Kimi kinda drove for Red Bull in WRC, so…everything is fine xD btw, I think I've never drunk a Red Bull from a glass O.o
I do sometimes. It makes me feel all fine and cool and something :D (And I admit, I did a Red Bull/Jägermeister mix from that glass earlier, so I just decided to drink the rest of the can from it too :D) Oh and right, Kimi + Red Bull + WRC, I didn't think of that. My mind is too much in the present. Besides, Kimi + Seb mix sounds a lot more fun :)
:) !
Thank you ♥
Oh, Tumblr's been an arse and I didn't notice this earlier! Thank you! ♥
Thaanks! And right back at you! <3

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Wow this is a horrible habit to encourage. Disc priest is about mitigating damage when it counts not getting their numbers up. When I think of a disc a priest I don't think through put, I think this player is going to save my characters life at some point.
Healers, if people are not dying you are doing your job. If people are standing in fire they are not doing theirs. My healers have standing orders to let those people die so they can learn the lesson to not do it in the future.
Heal don't hand hold.
Pyromelter said...
This wasn't completely about healing meters, but rather how to be a more aggressive healer, and to increase your actual healing output. Meters now count shields (absorptions) as healing.
This guide was not meant for a novice just learning how to heal, this looks to me more like for the people out there who have been healing for a year or two and are looking at how to step up their game a little bit. Also, as long as you're keeping your assignments alive, there's nothing wrong with a little meter whoring. Again, not recommended for a beginner healer, but for a more experienced healer who wants to push the envelope a bit.
Yeah, I'm actually really surprised to see this article. Why on earth should you change the way you heal just to look better on a healing meter?! What are you accomplishing?
This is a terrible example to be setting, I'm so disappointed to see this article written in what is usually such a great column.
While that's absolutely true, and I agree entirely Dimmak, the meters can be used as a gauge for performance, like they can for DPS--not just to stroke epeens, which is the most common use. But it's not so useful if you don't have another person of the same class to compare--I know I'm usually healing with paladins, a shaman, and/or a druid. If the other priests are healing, it usually means I'm tanking! But if I can compare myself to another priest of my spec, it can help to check the breakdown to see what's being done differently that may be more efficient or helpful in some situations.
There's also the trouble with elitism LFR; I ran into it a few weeks ago where "bad" heals were booted based on meter counts, despite a lot of it being DPS (and people taking more time to smack talk in chat than pay attention to their jobs, I think)--it didn't help another disc priest in the raid was much, much higher on the meters than others. They may have been using some of the tactics here, and using that to be a jerk to anyone they sniped healing from to pad their own meters (I didn't get to check their gear, but I also suspect they had better than average).
It may be one of those things where in something like LFR, try pushing your meters a little; it's a good place to practice it, anyway, and can keep jackasses off your back for a bit (unless they're just *really* determined to be jerks). Like Pyro said, though, this is something for more experienced healers to try to test themselves, since it seems to fly against all the Cata healing advice of Don't Shield Spam and staying on one's assigned targets.
I know I could probably stand to be slightly more aggressive in my own healing, but I don't think this article is endorsing "try to solo heal it all using these methods!" either; a few of them at the right moments could be handy though.
AltairAntares said...
Being aggressive is very important as a healer. Way too often I see people who heal responsively, when they see people bars go down. Instead people should be healing for the future. Watch your dbm, watch your RL's calls and heal for that.
I just started running a DK in the new heroics and on the boss that uses smoke bombs, I quickly learned smoke is BAD, like other stuff you are not supposed to stand in. How? The pally healer let me die. Had he not, I would have kept standing in it because as a ranged dps previously, I had thought its only mechanic was to obscure ranged targeting. I had no idea it also did damage.
So there I was wailing away and BAM! I dropped. I right away was trying to figure out why and luckily the mage in the group had one of those announcer addons that said I had been killed by standing in the cloud of dust.
I learned a good lesson and next time I fought that boss, I stepped out of the dust and lived. I appreciate that the pally let me die the first time so I would think about it.
Everything said here SHOULD be used, but was phrased as if its bad.
Don't be the useless healer in LFR who does 1/5th of #1s healing. You offer nothing to the raid.
What the article really means, is work on throughput. Any healing you don't do, you force upon others to do. Overhealing matters only if mana matters, and in many fights now, it doesn't.
"Healers, if people are not dying you are doing your job."
As a group, this is true.
There are still 1-2 healers that do the job more than the others. Don't be the others, be one of the healers that keeps everyone alive because YOU saved them.
When you start doing heroic raids, you'll see that you need to be working constantly on keeping everyone alive. Prove that you can do it on normal and your group may be able to reach heroic.
Spellotape said...
What you think about disc healing =/= what everyone else thinks or *should* think about disc healing.
The letter writer already accomplished your view of disc healing - they wrote in essentially asking how to be a more aggressive healer. If they can heal agressively, keep up their assignments, and maintain their mana, then more power to them - there is nothing wrong with that and they shouldn't be made to feel bad or looked down up for doing it "the wrong way".
Pyromelter said...
Hey Dawn, I'm hoping you see this and can answer, something popped into my mind when you commented the following:
"Everything I don't go after, someone else has to, and that diminishes the mana in one part of the raid faster instead of evenly across all the healers... By prioritizing people who need my heals, the rest of the healers inadvertently get to have a bit more fun because I'm covering their asses when they're being greedy."
This reminded me of the occasional time where you will end up out on an island solo healing. And not just because other healers have died (although that may be common), but because of actual mechanics. I haven't kept up with heroic healing mechanics in cataclysm, but I think you know where I'm going with this: 10-man Heroic Sindragosa.
Remember that bad-boy? Phase 3 ends up being a rotation between each healer taking a turn pretty much solo healing the entire raid. Because even with three healers, if one gets debuffed, and another gets iced, that means all the sudden the final healer is the only one that can actually cast a healing spell.
So wouldn't it be good to have some experience in healing like this, to prepare you for those types of dire situations?
My point in saying this is that there are some occasions where you HAVE to heal the tank, the ranged, yourself, the melee, everyone, and you HAVE to have maximum output for a short period of time, your original assignment be damned. Besides 10man heroic Sindy, you can also find yourself at the end of a raid with healers dropping like flies where you have to pick up the slack for dead healers, especially on high-damage heroic encounters. Heroic Cho'Gall comes to mind as a ridiculously hectic end-stage fight.
In other words, wouldn't practicing these skills actually be helpful for those occasions where you are called on to heal like that?
And I'm also wondering how well you did on 10man Heroic Sindragosa back in the day? Because I remember that fight really separating the women from the girls in terms of healing.
You bring up a good point, and I definitely agree that there are times when you are called upon to be the single healer, even in ideal raiding environments. I'd counter this notion however with heroic dungeons, especially the Troll heroics.
Those dungeons were a nightmare to heal unless everyone was on top of their game. And certainly good practice.
Maybe I'm just hung up on the discussion of aggressive healing as being the same thing as snipe healing but overall I just can't support all of the advise in this column. And I'd argue that five man heroics are where healers should learn the ropes of being the sole healer, not in a raid environment where team work will always be superior to star healing.
Just my two silver, (you know... because of inflation).
While I don't agree with the idea of making the meters the primary focus, and Dawn has made it clear she doesn't think that way either, anticipation is a crucial part of disc healing and agressive target prioritisation is somewhat part of that.
I've found I understand the damage patterns of a fight much better than other healers because I need to anticipate it to use shield, barrier and pain suppression. The other healers tend to be more reactive, at least the ones in my guild. I've always attributed it to the fact I'm trying to stop the damage, rather than deal with it after it occurs. I'll use shields after damage to buy time obviously, and I tend to shield people who aren't at full health if I know there's an incoming aoe so they have a better chance of surviving etc. I prefer the disc approach compared to my other healers, but it does seem to lead to more awareness of how the damage plays out through a fight rather than just healing back.
It's not just about "looking better" on the meters. It's about DOING MORE HEALING! the more healing you do the sooner you will be able to drop down to less healers and clear the encounter faster. sure you can ignore all of Dawn's' advice, but if you do, you are never going to be the sort of healer that gets spots in hard mode raids.
The anti meter bias for healing has its roots in reality but it has gotten out of control. Dragon Soul has a bunch or raid wide, unavoidable AoE, this isn't ICC where you boosted you numbers by standing in shit. IN DS you boost your numbers by being aggressive and healing your pants off. Cata healing is different than it was before, like it or not the meter is no a pretty important now.
I guess I can understand "don't feel bad if you are not at the top". fight mechanics and class weakness/strength play into that. All of us have to get used to the pink bar at the top of recount (or the orange bar in T12). But, if you are not at the top of your spec (highest HPS disco e.g.) than you should try to tighten your stuff up. If you don't want to, better get that shadow spec worked out, because when the time comes to drop down to less heals, guess who is gonna get the boot?
As far as I'm concerned, all healers should shoot for 100% uptime, unless they're close to being oom. This doesn't mean hots on people that don't need it. It doesn't mean bubbles for the hell of it. It does, however, mean that you should at least be casting your basic, mana-efficient heal, if nothing else. If somebody is damaged or about the get damaged, even if it's only a little, there's no reason you can't cast heal. It's dirt-cheap and your regen outpaces it. In my mind, this keeps you sharp and preps you for the times when there is massive incoming damage. You just swap your small heals out for your big heals and keep on rollin'.
If you're a healer that's truly opposed to this type of gameplay, we disc priests are lucky in that we still have an easy 100% uptime tactic to keep us busy: Smite healing. I'm not saying this is the best method of healing, but if the alternative is doing nothing, you should be smiting. A little dps on the boss, a little smart healing here and there, and a not-so-little 15% healing buff that you can activate if/when you need it. A discipline priest that stands around waiting for action is making a mistake and could add so much more to their raid if they put their mind to it.
I really don't get the PoH being situational and pre-emptive healing with shield part. Normally PoH is a lot stronger if you are good at maintaining your DA stacks on 2-3 groups in a 25 man setting. Seeing as how this article seems to be targeted at a midrange skill level, that should be something those interested should be able to accomplish. This is coming from a priest that started raiding at the end of T11 and is now in a guild that goes deep into heroics early every tier. Even with ilvl scaling there are few encounters in DS that don't favor DA stacking over rolling shields on potential targets. Also recomending penance to be used on anything other than the tank to ensure easy Grace maintenance is actually counterproductive to high hps. You'll want to be healing the tank as little as possible when boosting your numbers and knowing you have penance to restack Grace gives a lot more leeway in how many PoH you can cast every 15 second(DA's duration on target's). Also DA stacking becomes even more powerful to the disc priest that is smart enough to not proc their cloak enchant or power torrent until the start of a fight. Pre-potting and PI'ing yourself, along with 2 raptures while you're under 3 int boost effects at the beginning of the fight allows you to stack a very large amount of DA and end up with 95% of your mana 20 secs into the fight. That is how you boost your #'s as disc, shield rolling on 3-5 targets is more mana intensive even when done properly with more risk involved.

Men's basketball chops the 'Jacks, moves back into first
Box score | Play-by-play | NC season stats | B.J. Hill KFKA postgame | Devon Beitzel KFKA postgame | Big Sky standings
GREELEY -- Northern Colorado got the help it needed Saturday night and then took care of business against Northern Arizona in a 72-71 win at a raucous Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion.
The Bears (17-10, 11-3 Big Sky) got 23 points from Devon Beitzel, 17 from Neal Kingman and 12 from Chris Kaba as they got past the Lumberjacks for the fourth time in six games and the fifth consecutive time in Greeley.
Gabe Rogers led NAU (17-11, 8-7) with 27 points, and Cameron Jones put in 24.
The victory, paired with Montana's 59-55 overtime upset loss at Eastern Washington earlier Saturday, pushed Northern Colorado to the top line of the Big Sky Conference standings with just two games to play.
The Bears control their destiny now and will claim the 2011 Big Sky Conference regular-season championship if they win at Idaho State on Monday night and then defeat Sacramento State in Greeley on Wednesday.
If it wins both, Northern Colorado will earn the No. 1 seed in this year's Big Sky Championship and will host the semifinals and finals on March 8 and 9. That would mean the road to this year's Big Sky's NCAA Tournament bid would run right through Greeley, where Northern Colorado is 11-0 this season and 24-2 over the last two years.
"We've just got to take care of business," Beitzel said. "We've got to take it one game at a time, and make sure we get our rest in between games because it is such a quick turnaround. We've just got to take care of business and try to get these two wins."
Beitzel, who finished just six of 19 from the field Saturday but still scored at least 20 points for the 16th time this season, hit two free throws with 8.6 seconds remaining to put the Bears ahead 72-69.
Northern Colorado coach B.J. Hill had Beitzel foul NAU's Stallon Saldivar on the Lumberjacks' ensuing inbounds play, and Saldivar hit both of his free-throw attempts with seven seconds left to make it 72-71.
Beitzel was immediately fouled on the Bears' following possession, but with the near sold-out crowd making hardly a peep, he missed both of his charity shots with six seconds left.
"I couldn't believe those shots didn't go in," said Beitzel, who entered the game ranked fifth in the country in free-throw shooting.
NAU's Eric Platt grabbed Beitzel's second miss and got a pass out to Jones, who, with Beitzel in his face, attempted a heave from near halfcourt that didn't find the net.
"(Beitzel) did a good job of just picking (Jones) up and trying to make him take some time and work him up the floor," Hill said. "This tells you what type of kid he is. (Tonight was) by far his worst shooting night of the year, but he found another way to help us win.
"It wasn't pretty, but, like Coach (Earnest) Collins just told me: 'It doesn't matter by one or 20." It doesn't matter; it's a 'W,' And he's right. Our guys gutted it out. We didn't play our best game by any stretch but they gutted it out and just found a way. That's what good teams do, I guess."
Kingman, who scored just 28 points in six games between Jan. 29 and Feb. 12, continued his recent surge Saturday with a six-of-14 effort to go along with four rebounds, two assists and a steal.
Kaba, who hit a 3-pointer with 3:04 to play to end a 6-1 run by NAU and pull the Bears within two, at 67-65, only missed two shots in the game (4-6) and had six rebounds, a career-high tying four assists and two steals.
"When (Kaba and Kingman) are playing well it's huge for us," Beitzel said. "Two more scoring options, and it really spreads the defense out. When they are making shots and making plays, we are a really hard team to guard."
Coming into the game, NAU had the statistical edge over Northern Colroado in almost every area, including points per game, shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage.
That played out Saturday, too, with the Lumberjacks outshooting the Bears 50 percent to 37 percent, hitting 43 percent of their 3-pointers to Northern Colorado's 35 percent and grabbing 39 boards to the Bears' 29.
But whenever the momentum would sway in NAU's favor, the season-high crowd of 2,755 roared to a level not heard in Butler since the Bears moved to NCAA Division I.
"We love to see this place packed like it was tonight," Beitzel said. "It gives us energy out there on the floor. When things aren't going well, having them get on their feet and get us going? I mean, that's huge. If it wasn't for them, I don't think we would have gotten this win.
"We're one game away from behing undefeated at home for the season, and if we get this type of crowd, we could do that a lot."
