Changes in AP duration (APD) measured to 50% (above left) and 90% repolarization (below left) of epicardial muscle fibers with increasing time after coronary artery occlusion [5] . Mean values±S.D. are shown by columns for the first layer of muscle fibers beneath the epicardial surface in normal noninfarcted preparations (striped columns) and in each group of infarcted preparations (solid columns) studied at the times indicated on the abscissa. Asterisks denote values significantly different from control. At the right are shown representative transmembrane potential recordings; (A) normal; (B) 1 day; (C) 5 days; (D) 2 weeks; (E) 2 months. Note that APs in the 1- and 5-day-old infarcts show loss of the plateau phase during repolarization. Action potential duration is decreased more in 5-day-old than in 1-day-old infarcts. Reproduced from [5] .

The origin of the delayed phase of spontaneous arrhythmias secondary to coronary artery occlusion in canine and porcine hearts is most likely in the depolarized and abnormally automatic subendocardial Purkinje fibers that survive. The loss of resting potential is significant and dramatic in the multicellular preparations of these fibers. Concomitant with this dramatic loss is a reduction in intracellular K + ion concentration ( a K i ). However, a decrease in K + equilibrium potential ( E K ) (average change 16 mV) cannot fully account for the loss in resting potential (average change 35 mV) [6] .
Abnormalities in the resting potentials of subendocardial Purkinje fibers surviving in the infarcted heart persist even after they are enzymatically disaggregated and studied as single myocytes [7] . In the myocyte, a reduction in a K i could not provide the basis for the reduced resting potential. Rather, Purkinje myocytes isolated from the infarcted myocardium show an increase in the ratio of the membrane permeability of Na + to K + ions ( P Na / P K ) as compared to control. The larger value of P Na / P K in these cells could be due to an increase in P Na or a decrease in P K or both. Input resistance measurements suggest that the subendocardial Purkinje myocytes from the infarcted myocardium have higher input resistances than control cells. This is in agreement with a multicellular study on these fiber bundles [8] . Combined with the P Na / P K measurements in the myocytes, it is likely that there is a net decrease in P K in the cells with reduced resting potentials. Finally, this is consistent with a decrease in the density of both the outward K + current and inward rectifying K + current, I K1 , recently described for the Purkinje myocytes surviving in the 48-h infarcted heart [9] .
A key issue in the interpretation of the limited positive findings for meningioma is whether the elevated point estimates of risk in the higher exposure categories are based on unusually low risks in the lowest exposure category or unusually high risks in the higher exposure categories, or both. The comparisons with national cancer registration rates suggest that the former is at least partly responsible, and taken together with the lower than average rates of meningioma in the total cohort under study, these findings argue against a causative explanation for the elevated risks obtained from the Poisson regression (internal) analyses.
The study has many strengths including its large size, long period of follow-up, availability of cancer registration as well as mortality data, large number of glioma cases available for analysis and detailed exposure assessments that used the physics of exposure to magnetic fields as a starting point [ 10 ]. However, there are limitations to be attached to the work. Most notably, it was necessary to assume that for those workers hired before 1973, job and place of work in the 1950s and 1960s were the same as those pursued in the early 1970s, and it was also assumed that working patterns (time spent by different groups of workers in different parts of power stations) are the same in different power stations. These assumptions will have introduced errors into the exposure assessments, but we remain confident that the exposure assessments have value particularly if we accept the relative rankings of the five exposure categories and do not attach overwhelming importance to their absolute values. It must be the case, however, that the current exposure estimates fall short of an ideal survey that would include measured individual exposures over time.
Earlier published comparisons with national mortality rates (total cohort and males and females combined) are consistent with the absence of occupational risk factors for the generality of brain tumours (Obs 202, SMR 107, 95% CI: 93–123) [ 13 ]. Likewise, earlier comparisons with national incidence rates (total cohort and males and females combined) are also consistent with the absence of occupational risk factors for the generality of malignant brain tumours (Obs 278, SRR 100, 95% CI: 88–114) and for the generality of other brain tumours (benign, in situ , unspecified behaviour) (Obs 93, SRR 93, 95% CI: 75–114) [ 14 ]. These SRRs are similar to the published findings for all malignant neoplasms (Obs 15 103, SRR 96, 95% CI: 95–98) [ 14 ] and to the overall SRR for meningioma shown in this report (Obs 41, SRR 90, 95% CI: 64–122). National comparisons will be subject to many influences including regional and socio-economic effects and employment selection effects such as the healthy worker effect, although the latter would be expected to have more influence on mortality than cancer incidence. The overall SRR for all malignant neoplasms suggests, however, that national comparisons are meaningful for this cohort; the low SRR for meningioma in the baseline group may well be no more than a chance finding.Health Behavior Research in the Age of Personalized Medicine
The American Academy of Health Behavior invites abstracts to be considered for poster research presentations at the 2017 annual meeting March 19-22, 2017 in Tucson, Arizona. The meeting theme: Health Behavior Research in the Age of Personalized Medicine highlights the need for public health practitioners and medical personnel to collaboratively migrate towards a tailored approach to health and well-being by accounting for unique personal characteristics (i.e., genetics, social and environmental risk factors) and individual responses to interventions. Personalized medicine has the potential to alter the way health problems are studied and managed, which can ultimately advance public and behavioral health.poster research presentations
General Guidelines
We particularly encourage research abstracts related to the theme of the meeting; however, abstracts related to other health behavior topics and settings are welcome for submission. Preference will be given to quantitative and qualitative research-based abstracts that report complete results. Abstracts are limited to 300 words (i.e., body of abstract). Please be sure to check the word count before submitting as only the first 300 words will be considered for review.
Researchers can submit no more than 3 first-author abstract submissions. Co-authorship is unlimited. If a person submits more than 3 first-author abstracts, that person will be asked by the Abstract Review Chair to choose which 3 abstracts they would like reviewed.

I think it was in Herbert Blix's book (but I can't be positive- I read this a few years ago) that stated that after the Russians invaded Manchuria, Hirohito became convinced that the IJA couldn't protect the country anymore and that that was a big reason why he wanted to surrender. The officers who inspected the bomb's damage noted that the effects were felt no more than a foot down into the soil, therefore Japanese citizens should dig shelters to protect themselves from future blasts. The Japanese officers wanted the Americans to invade so that the Japanese could die glorious deaths in battle…
This is an interesting and actually quite older debate than most people realize. The United States Strategic Bombing Survey summary report from mid-1946, for example,
the cheapest sale online Pikolinos Women's Aguadulce W0lv17 Derbys Brown Desert get to buy cheap price discount outlet Qv7NjiC
"Based on a detailed investigation of all the facts, and supported by the testimony of the surviving Japanese leaders involved, it is the Survey's opinion that certainly prior to 31 December 1945, and in all probability prior to 1 November 1945, Japan would have surrendered even if the atomic bombs had not been dropped, even if Russia had not entered the war, and even if no invasion had been planned or contemplated." There are more modern historians who have also concluded this (e.g. Tsuyoshi Hasegawa, Ward Wilson). At some point this year I will post some thoughts about this thesis.
Yes! I've read the survey, too. And didn't Leahy say that the United States Navy, with a little help from the army (air corps, I presume), had already defeated Japan (with the blockade)? There would have been mass starvation that winter and the emperor would likely have been overthrown- at least he feared a rebellion. And poor Truman- imagine if the Republicans found out that he had spent $2B on a weapon that WAS NEVER USED…
Well, it was Roosevelt who spent the money, not Truman. The postwar "what if it doesn't work" question kept Groves up at night, but I don't think it did Truman —it never occurred to him not to use the bomb.
There are complicated historical reasons why the conventional military men liked to dismiss the bomb, especially in the postwar. They feared (for awhile) that it would make them irrelevant, or overshadow their own contributions. So they tended to play it down, rightly or wrongly.
The key to this whole question is the fact of city bombing. Once you accept a sustained campaign of city bombing as as a valid act of warfare, there's not much difference between one B-29 with a 20 kiloton nuke and a fleet of B-29s with conventional bombs. We eventually had both, but there were hardly any targets left by the time the nukes arrived on the scene.

Band hits its stride
Country-rock group the Deadstring Brothers has had plenty of changes to its lineup since releasing its self-titled debut album in 2003.
"That's basically how it is with any band that's broke," founder and frontman Kurt Marschke told me from the road Wednesday morning, just after the trailer to the band's rig came unhinged while they were driving.
After years of traveling with a rotating cast (and drawing possibly one too many comparisons to the "Exile"-era Rolling Stones), Marschke moved from his hometown Detroit to Nashville in 2010 and began touring solo, playing kickdrum, guitar and harp as a one-man band.
Things changed last spring when an old friend and fellow Detroiter, bassist Jd Mack (formally of Whitey Morgan & the 78's), messaged Marschke with the idea of working together.
"As soon as he left Whitey, he figured we'd end up doing this," Marschke said. "We were made to work together."
The duo assembled a supporting cast, put out the fifth Deadstrings Brothers album in August, "Cannery Row" (Bloodshot Records), and embarked on a 250-gig tour. The band is about halfway through.
"You hit your stride," Marschke said of life on the road. "You can't wear out because you've got nowhere to go. You have to. The rest of your life is falling apart; no one wants to be around you because they know what you'll be doing for the next two years.
"So we bought a big ass van," he added. "It's like living on the high seas. It's fun."
The Deadstring Brothers play old-school country rock for a modern crowd.
"It's the kind of music you have to go slug it out because it's not super trendy," Marschke said, noting the band's distinction from indie bluegrass and contemporary string band folk rock that has risen to such popularity. ("It kind of blows my mind" that a group like Old Crow Medicine Show is now Brit pop music, he says.)
Marschke sticks with the music he loves, a mix of country and traditional rock, with touches of Delta and backwoods blues. "I just mix up what I mix up and if people think it's good, cool."
The comparison to the Rolling Stones started before the band was signed and playing gigs in Europe, Marschke said, and followed them with the release of each new album. While the swagger of some Deadstring music certainly merits a Stones comparison, the band's library is Americana-based with flavors of Ry Cooder, The Band, Steve Earle, Hank Williams Sr. and others.
But Marchke doesn't mind how his music is described, as long as he's free to tour and expand the band's audience. "There's worse comparisons," he said. "I'm not complaining. I'm happy (the press) even wants to write about my music."
The new album's title is derived from Marschke's Nashville neighborhood, Cannery Row. The songs roam among skylines, sunsets and open spaces, reflecting on a comforting, downhome vision of life.
The Deadstring Brothers will be coming through Yamhill County on Saturday to headline the Wildwood MusicFest that night. For more information on the band, visit deadstringbrother.com.
The Wildwood MusicFest is following up on the success of last year's debut with a stellar lineup of musicians to play in the Coastal Hills setting of Roshambo Art Farm, 22900 SW Pittman Road, Sheridan (on Highway 18B between Sheridan and Willamina).
Nineteen bands will perform Friday evening and all day Saturday on a custom stage backed by a weathered basalt rock quarry.
The intimate setting and homegrown atmosphere make for an enjoyable weekend for young and old (kids 18 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian).
Bands will travel from as near as Newberg (The Hill Dogs) and as far as Nashville (Deadstring Brothers), Austin, Texas (Possessed by Paul James) and Akron, Ohio (Shivering Timbers). Regional favorites like McDougal, Sassparilla, Water Tower, Jackrabbit and more fill out the bill.
Gates open at 3 p.m. Friday, with music starting at 6 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. Saturday. Tickets are $75 for a weekend pass, $42 for Saturday only. Camping is $10 a vehicle. Visit www.wildwoodmusicfest.com for tickets and more information.

Hear Laura Sydell's report for Morning Edition by clicking the audio link.
Groupon co-founder Andrew Mason has been fired as the daily-deal company's CEO, one day after Groupon posted financial results that showed it lost $67.4 million during 2012. Board chairmen Eric Lefkofsky and Ted Leonsis will jointly fill the CEO post on an interim basis.
Shares in Groupon sank by nearly 25 percent to $4.53 at the end of trading hours Thursday, as investors digested the news of another losing quarter and a financial outlook that predicted first-quarter 2013 revenue would fall short of analysts' estimates by tens of millions of dollars.
In a message to Groupon employees, Mason started off on a light note, but he soon acknowledged the troubles the company has endured, as it recorded consecutive quarters of multimillion-dollar losses:
"After four and a half intense and wonderful years as CEO of Groupon, I've decided that I'd like to spend more time with my family. Just kidding - I was fired today. If you're wondering why... you haven't been paying attention."
Mason, well-known for his open and joking personality, later compared his tenure at the company to a charmed session of playing the video game Battletoads. And he asked for suggestions for "a good fat camp to lose my Groupon 40" — a request he later said had met with sufficient responses, via his Twitter feed.
The daily coupon business, seen just years ago as a sector of expansion and fast-growing profits, has struggled recently, due to international volatility and a slide in popularity for daily discounts.
Last month, LivingSocial, a smaller rival to Groupon, announced that it lost $650 million in 2012. LivingSocial received a cash infusion of $110 million last week.
Groupon has also come under pressure from Google, which famously attempted to purchase the company for nearly $6 billion back in 2010.
Announcing the change, Lefkofsky said, "I want to thank Andrew for his leadership, his creativity and his deep loyalty to Groupon. As a founder, Andrew helped invent the daily deals space, leading Groupon to become one of the fastest growing companies in history."
Groupon's board says it will conduct a search for a new CEO.
NPR business news starts with a shakeup at Groupon.
MONTAGNE: The CEO of the online discount site Groupon has been pushed out from the company he founded. Andrew Mason's ouster came a day after the company reported worse than expected losses.
NPR's Laura Sydell reports that Mason's exit is no surprise.
LAURA SYDELL, BYLINE: Groupon's stock value has been on a steady decline since it's IPO in November of 2011. It's gone from 20 bucks a share to below five.
CEO Mason was known to be a bit of an eccentric, and his last day was no exception. He posted a letter online that said quote, "I've decided that I'd like to spend more time with my family. Just kidding - I was fired today."
Altimeter Group analyst Susan Etlinger says quirkiness can be a great quality in the leader of a start up - but when it comes to running a public company - not so much.
SUSAN ETLINGER: When you're a startup founder, people expect and want a degree of inspiration. When you're the CEO of a public company what people want is reassurance and continuity.
SYDELL: However, it may be hard for any new CEO of Groupon. Business that offered deals through Groupon discovered providing a discount to get someone in the door didn't necessarily turn them into a long time customer.
ETLINGER: It's giving you people who are looking for a cheaper alternative. That's not necessarily the people that you build a business on.
SYDELL: In his parting letter, former CEO Mason offers this wisdom, have the courage to start with the customer. But, for Groupon, it's not clear if that's the people looking for the discount or the business offering one.

An abbreviated squad competed for the Leavenworth wrestling team Saturday at Silver Lake; Pleasant Ridge closes out dual season.
An abbreviated squad competed for the Leavenworth wrestling team Saturday.
Participating in the Silver Lake Invitational, only eight Pioneers took part in the 18-team competition.
But of those that did, five Leavenworth grapplers walked away with medals. Those accomplishments enabled the squad to finish seventh overall.
"We still had some kids out sick or with injuries, but the ones that did wrestle did very well," Pioneer coach Jay Johnston said. "At one point, we were in fourth with just eight wrestlers so the guys continued to compete well even short-handed."
The top LV performers were mainstays — Jesse Colver at 220 and Nathan Butler at 285. Both went undefeated to earn first in their weight class.
Next was Tilden Edwards, who rebounded from a loss midway through to claim third at 160.
"Technically speaking, Tilden Edwards had the best tournament of his career," Johnston said. "He made two poor decisions and paid for them in his loss, but the rest of the time he was so clean and is really peaking at the perfect time."
Danny Wilson captured fourth in the 113-pound class while Danial Wilson was sixth at 132.
Leavenworth will compete at Gardner-Edgerton Wednesday at 6 p.m.
Rams wrap up dual season
For an exclamation mark on its dual season, the Pleasant Ridge wrestling team participated in the Onaga Dual Tournament Friday.
At the end of the competition, the Rams finished 3-2, which caps off the team's final dual record at 15-5.
"I think overall, we continued to wrestle and improve," Ridge coach Darren Weber said. "At the same time, I feel like we have left some opportunities out on the mat. We still have plenty of time to achieve those and I know these kids will try as hard as they can to do that."
As a team, the Rams beat Burlington, Horton/Hiawatha and Marion while losing to Rock Creek and Onaga.
Individually, Clayton Gum (106), Tony Weber (113), Jared Johnson (170) and Logan McKinney (182) all placed first in their divisions.
Blake Graham at 132, Nick Hyde at 138 and Aaron Brown at 195 came in second.
The Rams will wrestle in the Delaware Valley League meet Saturday at Doniphan West.
"We will have to be super aggressive," Weber said. "We are not going to be able to go out and just be passive and expect to win. We have to go and take it."

Michael Bolton has taken home two GRAMMY awards in his over 40 years in the music business. But you would never know it.
"I keep them in a place where nobody sees them," he explained to Radio.com. "Which is really weird and very stupid."
It's not that the singer, who just released his memoir, The Soul Of It All, isn't proud of his wins; in fact it's the exact opposite.
"It' s a big deal for me, because it's the industry," he explained. "They gave me a sense of validation as a vocalist and I was up against some friends and some people I really loved as singers."
Bolton says he was spoiled because the first time he was nominated in 1990 for his song "How Am I Supposed To Live Without You" he took home the GRAMMY for Best Pop Vocal Performance.
"It was an outer body experience," he said. "I barely remember getting from seat to stage."
Two years later, he won his second Best Pop Vocal Performance statue for his rendition of Percy Sledge's "When A Man Loves A Woman."
"You know, I was nominated four times and won twice," Bolton said. "Both times were of the highest high points for me in my career."
Only seconds after saying that though, he explained that his GRAMMYs sit in a trophy case. "And the light's not even on in it!" he added.
But thanks to his friend, songwriter David Foster, who displays all 16 of his statues on his piano, he plans on finding a new spot for his two awards.
"Everybody loves to look at them and see what they weigh," he said. "I think I'm going to be less humble with them."

Johannes BrahmsGerman
Generally considered to be one of the greatest German composers, Johannes Brahms combined three centuries of tradition with the folk and dance influences of the mid-nineteenth century to create a unique and influential style. Although stereotyped as a traditionalist, many modernists, Schoenberg in particular, acknowledged his music as progressive and pioneering.
Born in Hamburg on 7 May 1833 to a working-class family, Brahms was well educated and showed a voracious appetite for learning. He studied the piano, cello and horn and gained an early love for Bach, the Viennese classicists, German romantic poets, and folklore. In order to supplement the family's income, he played popular music and taught piano.
A shy and reserved youth, he is thought to have started composing in the mid 1840s, though a lifelong attitude of self-criticism ensured that only his most polished mature works were spared destruction. His lifelong interest in the Hungarian gypsy style also formed at this time as political refugees passed through Hamburg on their way to exile in the US.
The turning point in his life occurred in 1853 when he met Joseph Joachim who introduced him in turn to Robert Schumann, a loyal advocate of Brahms' music in his remaining years. When Schumann died in 1856, Brahms developed passionate romantic feelings towards Schumann's wife, Clara. Clara's feelings, however, were never more than those of friendship or motherly love, but the two remained lifelong friends and a great many works were dedicated to her.
As a result of this disappointment, Brahms felt that he must give up all thoughts of intimate personal relationships and devote himself to music. He became infatuated with many women over the years but always maintained his personal freedom and never seriously considered marriage.
A time for introspection and study, the late 1850s saw Brahms occupied with several choral society positions. He was also identified at this time with the opposition to the literary-oriented music of Liszt and his supporters which, along with the fiasco that accompanied the premiere of his D minor Piano Concerto, almost threatened his career.
The early 1860s saw Brahms undertake trips to Vienna and accept the directorship of the Vienna Singakademie. However, financial problems forced him to undertake lengthy concert tours and it was not until his German Requiem was garlanded with critical acclaim that he became established as a leading composer.
During the 1870s, Brahms's fame spread far and wide throughout Europe and the US; he undertook a number of concert tours and, in 1872, accepted a postion as director of the concerts of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna. He amassed a substantial fortune but lived frugally in Vienna, though he was unfailingly generous to others, especially children.
Success with the string quartet and symphony finally came in the 1870s and 1880s when the great orchestral and chamber works were written, including his four symphonies. He also collected European folk music and continued a lifelong interest in early music, overseeing collected editions of Couperin and CPE Bach.
During the 1890s many of Brahms's great circle of friends died, including Clara Schumann in 1896. Reflecting on his life, his compositional output began to decline, though clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld inspired some late chamber works for clarinet.
Lauded throughout Europe and showered with awards and honorary degrees, Brahms developed cancer of the liver and died on 3 April 1897. He was buried in Vienna near to Schubert and Beethoven.
Brahms's legacy stretched all over Europe, from France (Fauré) to England (Elgar). As an orchestral composer he can be said to be the successor of Beethoven; as a miniaturist, the inheritor of Schumann and Schubert's genius; and in the field of choral music, the true heir to the renaissance and baroque polyphonists. His music's great popular appeal continues to this day.

I realize that my Hand Me Downs: A Poor Man's Heirlooms post was a huge wall of text, so I've decided to do a breakdown of it so that it's more useful to those who want try it out.
To do this, I'm going to do a breakdown of each class and show you which Hand Me Downs (HMD's) I suggest using for the given class and spec. Most of this information is copied and pasted from the original post, but I've put in specifics related to the Warrior class and specs and hopefully given a bit more detail and direction for why I chose what I did.
General Concept
The basic idea of what I call "hand-me-downs" (or HMD's) is that you're taking items that can be passed from one toon to the next (so Common, White-quality items) and enhancing them them to make them better. Enhancements that we're going to talk about here come mostly from the Enchanting profession, though a few may also be found in Blacksmithing (counterweights, sheild spikes, etc), Leatherworking (armor kits), and Engineering (scopes).
The whole point here is to get low level gear that you can pass around to any alts that you ever roll to make them more powerful starting out. As Cynwise and I have proved through experiment in both PvE and PvP at low levels, it isn't heirlooms that make your character so overpowered, it's actually the enchants.
So if you're trying to decide on which class to role, or what to go take one for a test drive for 10 levels or so before deciding whether or not to keep them, this is a great way to get a feel for how the class is going to play for you without putting in investment that's going to be wasted. Since these items can be passed around due to their lack of binding, it's not a big deal to roll a character, gain a few levels, scrap them and reroll another, and so on until you find a nice fit.
Melee Weapons
We're going to start off with weapons because they have more potential than armor for making your low level toons extra powerful. When you're choosing a hand-me-down weapon, you need to consider which type you're really looking for. For Melee weapons you're interested in three things: damage, usefulness, and coolness.
WARNING! – Using Poisons will bind non-bound gear to you. Meaning, if you use any of your poisons on your HMD's, they become bound to the character and can no longer be traded to your other toons. The only weapons that will not become soulbound when using Poisons on them are the actual BoA heirlooms.
Melee Weapons
Fine Scimitar: [Lvl: -] 3-7 Damage (2.5 DPS), 1.90 Speed
Arcane Forged Axe: [Lvl: -] 2-5 Damage (1.7 DPS), 2.00 Speed
Studded Blackjack: [Lvl: 5] 5-11 Damage (4.4 DPS), 1.80 Speed
Copper Dagger: [Lvl: 6] 5-10 Damage (5.0 DPS), 1.50 Speed
Cutlass: [Lvl: 10] 10-20 Damage (7.0 DPS), 2.20 Speed
Left-Handed Brass Knuckles: [Lvl: 10] 6-13 Damage (7.0 DPS), 1.40 Speed
Right-Handed Brass Knuckles: [Lvl: 10] 6-13 Damage (7.0 DPS), 1.40 Speed
Jambiya: [Lvl: 11] 7-14 Damage (7.4 DPS), 1.40 Speed
Hatchet: [Lvl: 11] 12-25 Damage (7.4 DPS), 2.50 Speed
Scimitar: [Lvl: 14] 14-27 Damage (8.7 DPS), 2.30 Speed
Cleaver: [Lvl: 15] 14-27 Damage (9.2 DPS), 2.20 Speed
Double Axe: [Lvl: 19] 19-37 Damage (11.2 DPS), 2.50 Speed
Kris: [Lvl: 19] 12-24 Damage (11.2 DPS), 1.60 Speed
Left-Handed Claw: [Lvl: 20] 12-23 Damage (11.7 DPS), 1.50 Speed
Right-Handed Claw: [Lvl: 20] 12-23 Damage (11.7 DPS), 1.50 Speed
I have a lot of weapons listed here, stretching up all the way to level 20. The reason for that is because a Rogue lives and dies by the power of their weapons. How frequently you upgrade your weapons is up to you. Personally, I have Rogue HMD's for level 1, 3 and 10-11. Why do I bother with the level 1's when I'm just going to replace them at level 3? Because I enchanted the 1's before I thought about the 3's, so since I have them anyway I might as well use them.
The only other thing you really need to take into consideration for a Rogue HMD is that you have abilities that deal more damage if you're using a Dagger instead of another weapon. The first example of that you'll see (I think) is Ambush. If you want to get the most damage out of Ambush, then you want to use Daggers. But remember that Ambush is a stealthed-only attack so once you've opened with Ambush you get more damage from non-daggers, so weigh your options.
Weapon Enchants
Enchant Weapon – Agility: +15 Agility
Enchant Weapon – Fiery Weapon: Proc: +40 Fire damage (x2 crit)
Enchant Weapon – Lifestealing: Proc: Steals 30 health from the target (x2 crit)
Enchant Weapon – Crusader: Proc: +100 Strength for 15 sec., heals you for 75-125 (x2 crit)
My personal preference for Rogue HMD's is Fiery because using Sinister Strike allows you to "cheat" the Procs Per Minute rule and get more Fiery procs than you otherwise should be able to, and Fiery already has a very high proc rate. For the sake of being able to reuse them though, Agility is generally a better option so it gets listed first even if it's not my personal choice in all cases.
I have Crusader listed last because even though it gives 100 AP when it procs, I don't like it quite so much for Rogues. The benefit of having +15 Agility on your Rogue HMD's is that you can also pass them to a level 20+ Hunter once they can dual wield where Fiery Weapon gives almost no benefit at all to a Hunter.
Note: Concerning Crusader, Fiery Weapon, and Lifestealing – these enchants all work off of a proc rate which ties directly to the weapon's speed. The slower your weapon, the more often it will proc on a per-swing basis. The faster the weapon, the fewer times per-swing it will proc. The proc rate is based on a Procs Per Minute (PPM), so you won't get any more procs each minute from a slow weapon than you would from a fast weapon, but the chance of a proc on each swing is higher if it's slow.
It's kind of confusing, so let me simplify it by saying this: Given the level range at which HMD's are viable, the strength of classes, and the fragility of mobs, you're better off using slow weapons rather than fast weapons when using proc-based enchants.
Armor isn't nearly as important as your weapons because in the levels that you'll use HMD's you should not have very many issues with survivability, making the armor stat much less impressive than it really is. The main benefit that you'll get from your HMD's then is actually the enchants that you place on them. The best-in-slot items for both chest and leg slots (that can be used at level 1) are interestingly cloth items; Haliscan Jacket and Haliscan Pantaloons.
And since the whole point of HMD's is to enchant them in order to make them more powerful than regular gear, we're not going to bother making HMD's that cannot benefit from enchants, or which benefit only a very small amount. So we're not going to look at Belts, jewelry or trinkets.
Leather Armor Set
Chest: Haliscan Jacket: 90 Armor (Cloth), Sun Cured Vest: 33 Armor
Legs: Haliscan Pantaloons: 77 Armor, Black Tuxedo Pants: 54 Armor, Sun Cured Pants: 29 Armor
Waist: Squeeler's Belt: 22 Armor, Sun Cured Belt: 18 Armor
Bracer: Sun Cured Bracers: 14 Armor
Gloves: Sun Cured Gloves: 20 Armor
Feet: Sun Cured Boots: 23 Armor
Back: Linen Cloak: 12 Armor
Above is the vendor bought Leather set from the Blood Elf starting area. For level 1 characters these do end up being the strongest items available to you, so I haven't bothered listing items for other levels as armor upgrades really aren't important for your first 20 levels unless you're a tank.
The Haliscan Jacket and Pantaloons and the Tuxedo Pants easily beat out the best leather options at level 1, so they're listed here as well even though they're cloth. They also happen to have higher item levels than all of the other options, giving you the ability to put more worthwhile enchants on them as well.
Chest Enchants
Enchant Chest – Exceptional Stats: +6 All Stats [ilvl 35+]
Enchant Chest – Greater Stats: +4 All Stats
Enchant Chest – Exceptional Health: +150 Health [ilvl 35+]
Enchant Chest – Stats: +3 All Stats
Enchant Chest – Major Health: +100 Health
The +6 Stats is excellent for Rogues because it grants 18 Attack Power (6 Agi = 12 AP, 6 Str = 6 AP). While Rogues are known for being squishy, they are also known for being able to survive when they otherwise should not be able to. And with Recuperate now allowing you to use your combo points to heal yourself, survivability isn't as hard as it used to be.
Bracer Enchants
Enchant Bracer – Superior Strength: +9 Strength
Enchant Bracer – Superior Stamina: +9 Stamina
Enchant Bracer – Minor Agility: +1 Agility
Old gripe is old – I don't know why in the world they gave us +9 to both Strength and Stamina, but not Agility. We don't even have a +7, +5, or even +3 Agility; they just left us with the dinky +1. However, we do still get 1:1 AP from Strength, so the +9 Str enchant is your best bet here. If you're feeling especially fragile then go ahead and reach for the +9 Stam instead, but you shouldn't have many survivability problems in this level range.
Glove Enchants
Enchant Gloves – Superior Agility: +15 Agility
Enchant Gloves – Greater Agility: +7 Agility
Enchant Gloves – Minor Haste: +10 Haste
Enchant Gloves – Greater Strength: +7 Strength
Gloves provide us one of the best enchants of all of our HMD's with Superior Agility (+15 Agi). The +15 Agi enchant isn't exactly easy to find though, because it's not exactly easy to farm either. If you can't find it, then look for the +7 Agi instead, or +7 Str if you can't find either of the Agility enchants. Having that +15 Agi enchant is like giving us a third weapon though, it's actually pretty sick as far as HMD enchants are concerned.
Haste isn't quite as cool starting out as it will be later on, but Rogues are all about stabbing people as many times as they can in as short a time frame as possible. Once you start using your Poisons and spending your talent points, you might want to consider using the +10 Haste enchant.
Leg Enchants
Light Armor Kit: +8 Armor to Chest, Legs, Hands or Feet
Medium Armor Kit: [Lvl: 5] +16 Armor to Chest, Legs, Hands or Feet
I'm going to go ahead and list these here just for the sake of completion. I don't use HMD pants because of the fact that these are the only enchants you can put on them. A little extra armor never hurt anybody, but it never really helps for your low level toons either. Not when we're talking about 8-16 points of it, at least. If you want to use them, then here they are.
Boot Enchants
Enchant Boots – Greater Agility: +7 Agility
Enchant Boots – Lesser Accuracy: +5 Hit
Enchant Boots – Minor Speed: +7% Run Speed
While my personal choice for HMD boots is almost always Minor Speed, the +7 Agility is the best one for actually improving your performance. You can also get a lot of use out of the +5 Hit, especially since Rogues can dual wield from level 1. In fact, I would almost consider putting it above the agility enchant because it's just that good.
Cloak Enchants
Enchant Cloak – Stealth: +8 Agility, +8 Dodge
Enchant Cloak – Lesser Agility: +3 Agility
Enchant Cloak – Superior Defense: +70 Armor
Enchant Cloak – Subtlety: -2% Threat
As far as performance goes, the +3 Agility gives you the biggest bang for your golden buck. The Stealth enchant is a great option if you're considering doing a lot of PvP (and you should, you overpowered backstabber, you), but it's not that great against mobs.
The Stealth enchant has stepped up in 4.0.3a as the top enchant for Agility-based HMD's. Rather than making it harder to be noticed while it stealth, it now gives you +8 Agility and +8 Dodge making it far superior to every other cloak enchant available on your HMD's. The mats for it are also fairly inexpensive given how powerful this enchant it. The +70 Armor enchant can balance out some of your squishiness if you feel you need it as well.
Rogues have a lot of burst damage in low levels compared to many of the other classes, so if you're doing dungeon runs you may give some serious consideration to the Subtlety enchant to reduce your threat. It's not great, but every little bit helps.

Six years ago, the U.S. housing market plunged off a cliff. Now prices are bouncing back up — sharply in many markets.
That has some real estate analysts saying 2013 may mark the turning point — when pent-up demand will revive the housing sector and boost the broader economy.
The optimists say millions of Americans have been living with relatives or renting for years now, trying to ride out the Great Recession and the slow recovery. At this point, many are ready to buy homes of their own.
If that theory turns out to be right, the home-sales boom could lead to new jobs in construction, landscaping, drapery hanging, furniture making, lending and much more.
A Housing Resurgence?
The reasons for optimism are compelling:
-- Census data show that the number of such multigenerational households of adults rose from 46.5 million in 2007 to 51.4 million by the end of 2009 — a 10.5 percent jump over just three years. That means millions of young adults are still living with their parents, and may be eager to move out.
-- Rents are high. RealFacts LLC said that its most recent survey shows that out of 41 markets, rents were up in 39 and remained flat in two.
-- Even as rents rise, homes remain affordable in most markets because prices are well below peak levels and interest rates remain low by historic standards.
-- Overall household debt has declined to the lowest level since 2006, according to a new study by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. That means more people are in better financial shape to buy a house.
In light of all those factors, "there's pretty clearly a lot of pent-up demand," said Andrew Paciorek, an economist with the Federal Reserve Board in Washington.
His research shows that between 2006 and 2011, the number of Americans forming new households was less than half what it would have been under normal economic conditions. That rate of household formation represented "the lowest five-year period on record — at least back to the 1950s or so," he said.
His economic model predicts that the housing market will continue to see a steady boost as Americans finally shake off the recession and get back to forming new households.
Why It May Not Happen
But skeptics question whether those factors can overcome the countervailing forces that may restrain the housing market. Their arguments are compelling too:
-- Many of the young adults who might want homes are carrying tens of thousands of dollars in student debt. Household debt is down for the broad spectrum of Americans because so many homeowners have been paying off mortgages and home-equity loans. But among younger adults, college loans are a bigger burden than ever.
-- Once the recession began, birthrates started to drop. That means more people are remaining childless or having just one baby, reducing the need for families to move into larger homes.
-- The job market remains tough, and raises have been meager. With the unemployment rates still at 7.4 percent, many people remain reluctant to buy a house.
-- Attitudes may be changing about homeownership. Some surveys suggest younger Americans are less interested in living in suburbs while many affluent baby boomers are moving out of the suburbs and into urban apartments and condos. But other studies still find strong interest in homeownership among Americans.
-- Creditworthiness standards remain high, while millions of Americans have poor ratings, thanks to bankruptcy and foreclosure filings over the past few years.
John Makin, an economist with the American Enterprise Institute, says no matter how much people may want to buy houses, they can't have what they can't afford. And today's economy, with its weak wage growth, may not be strong enough to allow the housing market to enjoy a sustained surge.
And even if housing does keep rebounding, Makin says he doesn't think it will provide enough of a boost to push the broader economy out of the slow-growth doldrums.
"Everybody wants to get back to normal," Makin said. "They'd like to be buying a bigger and better house." But while there may be plenty of theoretical demand for homes and other big-ticket items, "the effective demand — the income — isn't there," he said.
The housing market this summer is one of the bright spots in the U.S. economy. The latest data shows that prices nationally are up more than 10 percent from a year ago. In some markets, it's a lot more than that. The pace of sales is rising, too, so Americans are out there bidding on houses again. But is there enough demand to keep the recovery going? That's the question NPR's Chris Arnold tackles.
CHRIS ARNOLD, BYLINE: Christine Carlson is showing me around the condo that she lives in with her boyfriend in Chelsea, across the Mystic River from Boston.
CHRISTINE CARLSON: Chelsea's a cool little town. They're doing a lot of movies here. Denzel Washington just filmed here for his next movie.
ARNOLD: But there's nothing very Hollywood or glamorous about Carlson's condo. For her, it was kind of a barebones, starter place. It's in a small building with old aluminum siding. So last year, she tried to sell it and buy a nicer condo. But her realtor Anita Shishmanian says that that didn't go very well.
ANITA SHISHMANIAN: So we put it on the market, and then it just languished on the market.
ARNOLD: So there's been pressure building up in the housing market. Christine Carlson wanted to sell her condo and buy something better, but a year ago, she couldn't get what she paid for it. So she couldn't sell, and she was stuck.
SHISHMANIAN: Right. She was stuck.
ARNOLD: So imagine now, across the country, there are millions of people like Carlson who want to buy or want to sell and who can't, and so there's been this pent-up frustration or pent-up energy in the economy waiting to get released. And now, that is finally starting to happen. This summer, Carlson and her realtor decided to try to put her house back on the market.
SHISHMANIAN: We did one open house, and had multiple offers right off the bat. People seemed to really like it, and it was priced right. Actually, we probably could've priced it higher.
CARLSON: Yeah.
ARNOLD: But with the stronger housing market, somebody bought Carlson's condo. And since then, she's gone out and bought a nicer place herself. So there's kind of a chain reaction there. As more people buy homes, that pushes prices up. And as prices go up, that allows more people to sell who used to be stuck, and then they can go buy homes.
But, OK, just how much of this pent-up demand is there?
ANDREW PACIOREK: There's pretty clearly a lot of pent-up demand.
ARNOLD: Andrew Paciorek is an economist with the Federal Reserve Board in Washington. He recently finished a research paper looking at the number of young people moving out of their parents' houses or newlyweds living with relatives who were going out and buying or renting their own places to live. That's called household formation, and it dropped very sharply after the recession hit.
PACIOREK: It's quite unusual. So, you know, the long run trend is probably about one-and-a-quarter million households forming per year, on net.
ARNOLD: But from 2006 through 2011, there were less than half that normal number of new households forming.
PACIOREK: If you go back over history, that's pretty clearly the lowest five-year period on record, at least back to the 1950s or so.
ARNOLD: Really? So, I mean, we're talking about 60-plus years we've never seen so few households forming in America.
PACIOREK: Yeah. That's exactly right.
ARNOLD: So now, those people living in their parents' basements, more of them are starting to move out, and household formation is on the rise again. Paciorek stresses that predicting the future is tricky, but his economic model predicts that the housing market will continue to see a steady boost as people form new households. That would likely mean more homebuilding jobs and all kinds of other jobs.
And all that would be good, but...
JOHN MAKIN: There's pent-up demand, but the question is: Is there pent-up effective demand?
ARNOLD: That's John Makin, an economist with the American Enterprise Institute. He says the bottom line is that people just don't have that much money to spend. Wage growth is weak. If you don't have a great credit score, it's hard to get a home loan. The unemployment rate is still falling very slowly.
MAKIN: I mean, look, everybody wants to get back to normal, and everybody would like to go out to dinner as much as they used to. And they'd like to, you know, be buying a bigger and better house, and all that stuff. And so there's certainly plenty of frustration. But the effective demand is that the income isn't there.
ARNOLD: In fact, when it comes to the overall economy, Makin is getting worried that the weak economic recovery could lose momentum. He thinks that unless Congress takes more action - say, through tax cuts and stimulus spending - the economy, he thinks, could slide back into real trouble. That's more pessimistic than most economists who think the economy is going to keep moving forward, even if slowly. But at least when it comes to housing, everybody agrees that it's nice to finally be getting a boost. Chris Arnold, NPR News, Boston. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Valrhona claim to have created a new type of chocolate. Not milk, dark or white, but 'Blond' chocolate.
The new Dulcey bar is a 32% cocoa content chocolate with particularly sweet, biscuit, fudge and malted flavours, unlike any other chocolate - although one foodie magazine described it as 'sophisticated Caramac', however unlike Caramac it does contain cocoa. Also the oatmeal colour is quite unique.
Whilst Valrhona categorise this new chocolate bar as a new chocolate type we are at this time grouping it within our milk chocolate category for the purpose of consistency in style and taste.
May contain traces of nut, dairy, egg proteins, peanut & gluten.

I tried this at a little place called The French Institute in Lancaster. You need to be lucky to get one, though: they only stock it occasionally, and they sell out very fast!The flavour is powerful and distinctive—a hit of caramel that quickly develops into deeper malty, biscuity notes with an undercurrent of rich toffee. After a few seconds, there's a little surprise: a salty twang that lingers tantalisingly on your tongue. As a bar, it is smooth, creamy and extremely sweet; you would not want to eat a whole bar in one sitting, and if you do not have a sweet tooth you may not enjoy it.Comparisons with Caramac are inevitable and entirely superficial. Caramac is an amalgam of condensed milk and vegetable fats, with (if memory serves) a texture like firm shortening and very little taste. Dulcey is creamier, sweeter and has a far deeper, more complex flavour.

A dream chocolate - creamy, a bit salty-caramel, and above all not cloyingly sweet. Just perfect!

This is an incredible chocolate bar. Currently my favourite Valrhona bar. An absolute must buy.
Posted Mon 5 Jun 2017 9.45pm by Glenn
Quite a different chocolate. I wasn't sure what I was expecting really. Its definitely a white' chocolate, but its not (as obviously its blonde). I say this as its sweet like a white, but not quite as sweet as familiar bigger brands. Whats ost striking though its the biscuity flavour that comes through after its melted a little. Very unusual. i don't think I'd buy regularly for eating off the block, but can imagine this would work amazingly in patisserie products and bonbons.
Posted Wed 28 Jun 2017 10.22am by Stuart
I really did enjoy this chocolate bar. It was very nice and had strong caramel taste well balanced not to sweet or sickly in any way. Although this did leave me in doubt whether or not I could tell the difference between this and the caramac bars that it resembles. Would I get this again yeee you bet i would just getting some more now.
