The Heat Is Upon Us! Some Helpful Tips to Keep Cool

The Heat Is Upon Us! Some Helpful Tips to Keep Cool
Given that we just experienced the warmest March on record, and even hotter weather in April, Tucson residents may be facing a forecast for above-average temperatures for the rest of the summer, according to the National Weather Service.
Here are some great tips from Tucson Electric Power Company, encouraging customers to get an early start on energy saving strategies that will help take the heat off of summertime electric bills. Go green, save green!
Here are some things to consider:
Think About Your Thermostat
As outdoor temperatures increase, a home cooling system must use more energy as it works harder to maintain the same indoor temperature, even if the thermostat is left at one setting all the time. High humidity can further increase energy usage because air conditioning systems must remove more moisture from the air and evaporative coolers work less efficiently.
To minimize cooling costs, set thermostats at the highest comfortable temperature. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends setting thermostats at 78 degrees in the summer, although individual preferences may vary. For every degree you raise your thermostat, you can reduce your overall energy costs by about 2-3 percent.
Customers also might consider installing a Nest Learning Thermostat, which can learn users' temperature preferences and automatically adjust to save an average of 15 percent on cooling bills, according to the manufacturer
Simple Tips – proven and easy to do!
Following these simple tips may help to reduce energy usage:
Use ceiling or oscillating fans to keep air moving so you feel cooler without increasing air conditioner use.
Don't block vents or ducts inside the house. Maintaining clear air paths allows your cooling system to work more efficiently. Keep exterior doors and windows closed when running the air conditioner.
Make sure your AC or Evaporative Cooling Systems have been cleaned & inspected from a REPUTABLE HVAC company.
Use shades, blinds or curtains to keep sunlight out, especially during the afternoon in rooms facing west.
Replace traditional incandescent light bulbs with ENERGY STAR-qualified light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs, which emit 90 percent less heat than regular incandescent bulbs. Over the course of its lifetime, an LED bulb will save an average of $80 in energy costs. (Did you know that the new LED bulbs last an average of 20 years?)

Kindergarten Worksheets and Printables
Now that your child can recognize letters and numbers by sight, it's time for her to practice what she's learned by putting pencil to paper. Our kindergarten worksheets are the perfect tool for accomplishing that task while also honing fine motor skills. See how long it takes to build a doghouse by playing alphabet dot-to-dot, fill in the missing vowels from common three-letter words, and recognize and match pictures that correspond with the five senses.
Make the Most of Free Kindergarten WorksheetsKindergarteners are typically 5 years old and in their first formal year of schooling. Not all areas require enrollment in a kindergarten classroom. Many parents do not feel their 5 year old is ready for school and choose to begin their child's formal education in first grade. Others are eager to expose their 5 year old to learning in a kindergarten classroom for its academic and social benefits. Regardless of a child's educational history, printable kindergarten worksheets are a great asset for parents and teachers to act as a child's primary educator.
If your child is new to learning through printed worksheets, start with some preschool worksheets to warm them up and develop their focusing skills.
First grade schooling is structured and the curriculum is determined before the year starts. If you are worried about your kindergartener keeping up next year, kindergarten worksheets can help your child to develop foundational skills for math, reading, writing, and more. Make the most of your kindergartener's worksheet time by following the suggestions below:

Maintaining Fire's Natural Role
For People and Nature
Help our fireworkers get the gear they need to stay safe!
The Benefits of Prescribed Fire
The Nature Conservancy supports the use of controlled burning to manage landscapes that have adapted over millennia to periodic fire.
Santa Fe Water Fund
Learn how using fire to keep forests healthy can actually keep drinking water healthy, too.
Forest fires and prairie fires are a part of nature; they're both powerful change agents that shape ecosystems. The specific pattern of fire—including how frequently it burns, how hot it burns, and during which season—helps dictate the types of plants and animals found in a given area. This affects the goods and services that these places provide to people, and can have implications for human safety.
Around the world, fires are behaving differently now than they have throughout history, primarily as a result of human actions. In many places, for example, climate change is causing more frequent and more intense wildfires.
Generally speaking, any actions that change the fuel on a landscape will change how fire behaves in that landscape. Grazing, fire suppression, the spread of fire-loving, non-native plants and timber harvesting are some factors that affect fuels. Many fires are set by people (often in order to help secure their livelihoods), and so addressing fire problems almost always requires both socioeconomic and ecological solutions.
Land managers directly affect how and where fires are allowed to burn by managing wildfires and also by setting controlled burns. In places with fire-adapted plants and animals, managers are increasingly using fire as a tool to increase ecosystems' resilience to the impacts of climate change and other threats, ensuring that natural areas continue to provide clean air and water for people.
Meet a fireworker: Read a profile of the Conservancy's Associate Director of Fire Training, Jeremy Baily.
Many Conservancy preserves contain plants and animals that require fairly frequent fire. As a result, controlled burning is an important management tool for Conservancy stewards. In the United States, our staff undergoes the same training and follow the same standards as the federal wildland fire agencies. Having conducted more than 1.5 million acres of burning on Conservancy and partner lands since 1988, the Conservancy is a recognized leader in the field of ecological fire management, including controlled burning.
What The Nature Conservancy is Doing
The Nature Conservancy works to maintain fire's role where it benefits people and nature, and keep fire out of places where it is destructive.
Working with partners, we:
- Use and promote Integrated Fire Management as a way to serve the fire-related needs of people and nature.
- Develop software, maps and data through the TNC-LANDFIRE project, which supports conservation action planning by partners in the US Department of Interior via the national LANDFIRE Program.
- Conduct scientific assessments to understand the causes and consequences of altered fire behavior.
- Develop site-based solutions to maintain and restore habitats that require fire to exist.
- Advance laws and policies that conserve fire's role in nature.
- Participate in the Fire Adapted Communities Coalition, which is working to help local communities in the U.S. assess their risk and take action to safely coexist with fire.

I installed the Banks headers on my 99 Class A MH and wasn't about to spend another $500 to replace a perfectly good exhaust pipe. The muffler had to go though! I purchased the Flowmaster 70 series to replace just muffler since this was the last culprit of restriction in the stock exhaust. I wanted a quiet but unrestricted muffler and I got exactly that. It has a deeper sound than the stock but it's still quiet. It fit perfectly and a great price as well. Tim

My Norwegian Uncle
When Dan got too old to handle the responsibilities of an apartment, he moved to a Norwegian old folks home, on Lighthouse Hill. He liked it there and had a pleasant, homey room to himself in the part of the institution that seemed as if it actually had been someone's home, and he liked to hike on the trails of the Greenbelt, a big nature preserve that was nearby. On the day after Christmas, 1980, I visited him at the home. I brought him a Christmas card written in Norwegian, and some julekake that I had bought at Hansen's, a Scandinavian deli in our neighborhood.
I don't remember what I asked, but somehow he started talking about his days as a sailor. He told me he first went to sea at age 17, as a deck boy, doing the jobs nobody else would do. It was probably 1913. The sailors considered him to be good luck for their ship. Dan said it was not true, but he then told me a couple of stories that explained how the notion survived.
There was the time, for example, when he sailed to Italy on a ship carrying soldiers' paychecks. The most direct route passed through a part of the Atlantic where enemy submarines were presumed to be patrolling, and the captain had instructions to avoid it. Ignoring the orders, he sailed straight through, reaching Italy unharmed and far quicker than the other ships that had set off with them. Once in Italy, though, Dan – and his good luck – decided to stay behind. Loaded with grain, the ship set sail again. But before it could reach its destination – somewhere in Africa – it sunk.
Next, he signed on with a newer ship, one that could do 16 knots. He sailed from New York across the North Atlantic, a tough route -- the North Atlantic, he said, can throw the Queen Mary and the Queen Elizabeth around. Dan's ship reached Goteborg and then sailed back to New York, where Dan disembarked and stayed behind. On its return to Goteborg, the ship hit rough waters. A mast snapped; the ship was forced to turn around and barely made it back to New York.
Dan was letting the memories come to him now, recalling imperfectly what must have been his great adventures, all of them many decades in the past. I wasn't taking notes, but later in the day I wrote down, from memory, what he had told me. He said that from the time he was 17 until he stopped sailing, he never touched a drink (which made him a rarity among the Andersens), not because he was any better than the others, he said, but because he did not like the taste. When his ships reached port, the other sailors would head off and the first bar they reached, bingo, he said, they went in. That's when he got his education, especially in Italy, skipping the bars and going instead to concerts (he mentioned how beautifully the singers sang) and museums, including one, he recalled, at Vesuvius.
The stories about sailing reminded him of another job. Dan's sister in Norway (I think her name was Agatha, pronounced in Norwegian "a-GOT-a") died in childbirth and Dan adopted the child, whose name was Olaf Ecklund. (Dan also was largely responsible for raising one of my grandfather's sons, Dennis Andersen. I think Dan essentially stepped into a parental void created because Olaf, at the time Dennis was born, already had several adult children and couldn't be bothered taking on the responsibility of another; and because Dennis's mother, Gudrun Larsen, had a bit of a drinking problem. Through his and his spouses' various marriages, Olaf had a complicated web of parental responsibility. His first marriage was to Jenny LaCour, a woman who was either French or of French descent and whose parents didn't particularly approve of Olaf, who was something of a roustabout. Jenny LaCour (the spelling of whose last name I can't vouch for – no one left seems to remember) had been married to a fellow named Sather, apparently, and they had a son named Arthur. After Jenny and Olaf married, they had two children, Edith (my aunt) and Alfred George (my father, who was known as George and who in fact signed his name George A. Andersen). Jenny died when Edith and Georgie were children. Eventually Olaf married Gudrun, who brought a son named John Larsen to the marriage. Olaf and Gudrun then had a son named Paul Dennis, who was known exclusively as Dennis. I remember Dennis mainly as a rebellious teenager ignored by Olaf, henpecked by Gudrun (who tried to force him into playing his accordian, very much against his will, at family gatherings), and overseen mainly by sober Dan, who took him camping and fishing, and who probably didn't admire his older brother for fathering a son he didn't really want.)
But back to Olaf Ecklund. When Dan was able, he sailed back to Norway to take custody of Olaf. He found him at an orphanage, dressed in rags. Dan's mother, Agatha, was still alive at 79 (in fact she lived on for more than two decades and breathed her last breath, according to family legend, while fixing the roof); Dan's father was 82, sick in bed, and soon to die. Dan said goodbye to his father, got on a boat with his young nephew Olaf, and sailed back to Staten Island. But by then Dan was broke and had to sail again to earn some money. He was forced to leave Olaf at a house, in the West Brighton section of Staten Island, that was next door to a whorehouse, Dan said with great moral repugnance, frequented by homosexuals.
Dan was well into his 80s when he told me all this, his memory no doubt fading, his accent no easier to understand than it had been 20 years earlier, when I was a boy. I don't know how he felt just then, but I was fatigued (though not bored) from listening to his tales and trying to put them into context. (Olaf Ecklund! I'd been hearing that name my whole life but never knew exactly who he was – and now I knew: he was my great aunt's son.) It was the day after Christmas, I was 26, and no doubt there was a party somewhere that I had to get to. I didn't know it then but I'd live on Staten Island for only another year or so and, although I'd visit Dan regularly, I'd never get back to asking him about the old days.
After I said goodbye, I watched him walk an 83-year-old man's walk, toward the nursing home's kitchen, on his way to get some butter to put on his julekake. Often when I visited him he gave me some article of clothing, flannel shirts mostly, cut in what I thought of as an old-man style, which I loved and wore until my elbows poked through, and once a Navy blue sweater of an unusually tight weave that he said had been his when he was sailing on merchant ships. It's still the warmest sweater I have.

Bills would limit Oregon public records law
By JONATHAN J. COOPER
Of the Associated Press
SALEM — Want to find out if a particular motel has bedbugs? ... Who won the lottery? ... How much a retired public employee is earning from a pension?
Some in the Oregon Legislature want to keep that information confidential, and several bills would cut off public access to those records.
A legislative committee voted Wednesday to exempt personally identifiable information about bedbug infestations from public records. The lottery and pension measures have not had public hearings scheduled, the first step toward becoming a law.
A 1973 law, passed in the wake of Watergate, made government records open to public inspection with certain limited exemptions, but lawmakers have pulled more and more records from the public domain in the four decades since. The number of exemptions that government agencies can use to avoid releasing public documents has climbed from 55 to more than 400.
The bedbug legislation, House Bill 2131, was requested by Multnomah County officials who said pest-control companies would only agree to disclose information about bedbug treatments if they could be certain their customers' identities wouldn't be publicly released.
Counties don't currently collect information about bedbug infestations, so the public wouldn't be losing access to information that's currently available, Lila Wickham, Multnomah County's director of environmental health, told legislators. The county wants to know where bedbugs are most prevalent so they can target their prevention efforts.
"There's a stigma associated with bedbugs," said Bruce Head of Pioneer Pest Management in Portland and a representative of the pest-control industry group.
It makes sense to protect the privacy of individual homeowners with bedbugs, said Judson Randall, president of Open Oregon, a nonprofit that provides education about Oregon's public records law. He added, however, that keeping information about infested motels private troubled him because consumers have a right to know.
"It just seems like government is trying to do all its business in private," he said.
With the lottery, state officials routinely disclose information about winners and the store where prize tickets are sold. But House Bill 2734 would prohibit disclosure of that information without the winner's consent.
In other states where the issue has come up, supporters have said making jackpot winners' names public could raise safety concerns. Critics have said that public disclosure ensures that the games aren't rigged.
Senate Bill 369 would cut off public access to information about pensions for retired public employees. The measure was introduced after two newspapers requested a database of pension payments and disclosed that former University of Oregon football coach and athletic director Mike Bellotti earned $41,000 a month from his pension.
The measure is aimed at protecting the privacy of retired rank-and-file public workers, said Arthur Towers, political director for the Service Employees International Union. It's not a top priority for the union this year, Towers said.
The debate over access to information has come up recently, former Attorney General John Kroger two years ago proposed overhauling the public records law and opening more records to public inspection, limiting fees and requiring government agencies to respond promptly to requests for public documents. But his proposal went nowhere amid strong opposition from local governments.

The four Hood River County Commissioner candidates registered strong opinions on Wednesday about Wal-Mart, a tribal gambling casino and a Mt. Hood Meadows destination resort.
About 80 community members took seats in the Hood River Middle School Auditorium to hear the discussion sponsored by the Citizens for Responsible Growth (CRG), a land-use watchdog group.
Incumbent chair John Arens, seeking re-election to his at-large position, pointed out that while all three developments had proven to be "emotional issues" for many citizens, it was important that county officials follow the correct legal processes to ensure that each proposal was evaluated on its own merits.
"It is our responsibility in government to protect the rights of all people," said Arens.
He registered opposition to a casino in Hood River but was favorable to the gambling facility being built in Cascade Locks, a willing community.
His opponent, Rodger Schock, who is also seeking the position of chair, gave a resounding "no" to the idea of both a destination resort and "big box" retailers, stating that these were inappropriate land-uses for the rural county.
Incumbent Carol York, running for reelection to Position 1, said, "We currently seem to have a lack of consensus, we need to get our act together as a community and not be so divisive."
Her opponent, Ladd Henderson, told the audience, "I think we have to be very careful not to install walls to abolish one development and then end up with the result of stopping the next one."
Arens said that Wal-Mart faced an uphill battle to meet traffic, compatibility and both streamside and wetland concerns, but the project would qualify for approval if these conditions were met, because the land was zoned for commercial use.
Arens said that since no application had yet been submitted for a destination resort it was difficult to give a definitive answer.
"This is somewhat of a guessing game because Mt. Hood Meadows has not come forward with a specific plan," said Arens. "I certainly would not rule out a destination resort without looking at a real proposal."
Arens pointed out that a well thought out project could bring $1-2 million of additional revenue to the economically-depressed county, in addition to room tax revenues.
"Given the need for funding county services such as roads, schools, police, and fire protection, I'm willing to look at a proposal," said Arens.
Schock said since the Wal-Mart application had already been submitted, it should be approved if it correctly addressed the 56 areas of concern laid out by county planners.
"I don't think big businesses go with a small town," said Schock. "If you think folks with a lot of money in their pocket can come to town and do anything they want then you shouldn't vote for me."
Schock also speculated that the county's recent controversial land exchange with Meadows was one more movement to facilitate the construction of the destination resort.
"The money's been spent and I'm sure the deal was legal but it does appear we are moving in methodical steps to make that resort appear," said Schock.
About the casino, Schock said that he was strongly opposed to having it built on the hillside east of Hood River but was respectful of Cascade Locks residents' desire to locate the gaming center in their city.
He said that county officials should seek avenues to help existing businesses expand and grow, and that liveability in Hood River should not be sacrificed by uncontrolled growth.
"Let's work with what we've got," said Schock.
York said Hood River County was in "dire" financial straits and needed a diverse economy which offered a wide range of employment opportunities.
She said each of the three development applications, when submitted, should be weighed on its own individual merits with a balance found between the environmental concerns and possible job and tourism opportunities.
"Development should be compatible with its surroundings, I see benefits in each of these development proposals, but I also see negatives, and I think it's up to the commission to reduce the negatives and enhance the positives," said York.
She said she was strongly supportive of Cascade Locks' desire for the casino and believed that a Wal-Mart could be made compatible with Hood River by having it housed in several smaller buildings in a parklike setting.
"I've been asked many times about the rumored Meadows proposal, but how can I be for or against something when I don't even know what it's going to be?" asked York. "We ought to give developers a chance to make their proposals before we make any judgments."
She said an "environmentally-sensitive" resort could provide year-round jobs and opportunities for forest, conservation and agriculture education programs.
Ladd Henderson, who is running against York, said he was morally opposed to a casino being built anywhere in Hood River County.
He claimed "absolute confusion" about the debate over the destination resort since the county was seeking to market itself to the tourism trade and there was already recreational development on the north face of Mt. Hood.
"I don't understand how we have decided that retail is wrong so now we are going to promote the county for tourism and find more job opportunities — but not in that location," said Henderson. "And now I'm further confused because I'm being asked to be for or against something that I haven't even seen."
He also said it was confusing how the big fight had evolved over Wal-Mart's proposal to build a super center at the junction of Country Club and Frankton roads when the 16 acres of commercial property had been for sale for 12 years.
"Nobody should have been surprised when it was finally purchased," said Henderson.
On these and other issues, Henderson said the county board needed to be more responsible in its policymaking by factoring in the way its legislation worked on the ground.
"We have to look a long way done the road, if the decisions will have a long-term effect it could really make a difference," said Henderson.
He said Hood River was driving away potential investors by developing an "anti-growth" reputation across the state and that it was important not to cultivate the "visit but don't stay" philosophy of the late Gov. Tom McCall.
All four candidates agreed that plans for any development within the county should be based on an "environmentally friendly" design.

One player's adventures in the World of Warcraft. Hunters, Paladins, Raiding, Mythic Plus.

Preparing Your Tankadin for Patch 3.0: Part 4: New Toys
10/7 - Part 2: The New Seal and Judgement System
10/8 - Part 3: Changes to Existing Talents and Spells
10/9 - Part 4: New Talents, and suggested Trees
10/10 - Part 5: The New Threat Rotation or 96969
10/11 - Part 6: Threat Stats for Protection Paladins and Tank Gear Reitemization
10/12 - Part 7: Inscription and Glyphs
10/13 - Part 8: Comparing the 4 Tanks10/14 - PATCH DAY!
So let's look at what new goodies Blizzardclaus has under the Patch 3.0 tree.
Hammer of the Righteous - This is your new 51 point talent in the Protection tree. What this does is hit the current target and 2 additional targets for 4 times your main hand damage per second as Holy damage. This spell is on a 6 second cooldown and has a fairly low mana cost. As an added bonus, it is usable while you are silenced. The damage done is based on Weapon DPS and your Attack Power.
It is designed to allow Protection Paladins to use actual Tank weapons like King's Defender, Suneater, Mallet of the Tides, Brutalizer, and Unbreakable Will. Those weapons will do comparable TPS to a spell damage blade. We will go into more detail on this on Saturday.
This spell also increases our DPS while out soloing and works well when fighting multiple mobs. It procs your seal on each of the 3 targets it hits, so you can have 3 stacks of Vengeance cooking at one time.
Touched by the Light - This increases your spell power by an amount equal to up to 30% of your stamina and increases the amount healed by your critical heals by up to 30%.
One of the goals in Patch 3.0 and eventually in Wrath of the Lich King is to move Protection Paladins, Protection Warriors and Death Knights to all desire similar gear. This talent is a major step in that direction.
Spell Damage is rather useless to Warriors and is the stat that lets you know if a piece is meant for Paladins or not. With Touched by the Light, we won't need Spell Damage on our gear anymore and can gladly take what had heretofore been called "Warrior" Plate.
This talent is even more reason to go after Tank weapons and let the Mages and Locks stop worrying about Protection Paladins wanting to 'steal' their weapon.
Also, don't overlook the backend of this talent. Increasing out Critical heals by up to 30% helps out while soloing, and also helps out if we find ourselves in a healing position while not tanking. Holy Paladin gear tends to favor crit and this talent can help make up for some of the lack of potency a Prot Paladin normally has in his heals.
Judgment of the Just - What this does is cause the Paladin's Judgment spells to decrease the melee attack speed of the affected target by 20%. Can you think of any other spell or ability in the game that does that? Yes, Thunderclap! This is basically the Paladin version of Thunderclap which is a needed and noticeable reduction in the damage tanks take. This has caused some to call this talent ThunderJudge.
Since Thunderclap and ThunderJudge won't stack, the Thunderclap debuff can now be provided by a Protection Paladin, so there is little need for DPS Warriors to worry about it, or for Protection Warriors to spend their limited Rage on it.
Also, it has zero impact on the Paladin to provide this debuff. Since the debuff is applied as part of our Judgement, it's something that is already in our normal rotation. It's similar to when Blizzard gave Arcane shot a Dispel mechanic. Hunter's didn't even have to think about, it came naturally as part of what they were already doing.
Guarded by the Light - What this new talent does is reduce spell damage taken by 3/6% and reduces the mana cost of your Holy Shield, Avenger's Shield and Shield of Righteousness spells by 15/30%. Basically Blizzard took our old Spell Warding talent and added a cherry on top of it in the form of mana reduction cost.
You will note the talent mentions Shield of Righteousness. This is technically a new spell, but it's one Paladin's don't get until Level 75. Since my scope here is 3.0, I won't go into detail on it. However, Shield of Righteousness is a very good reason to maintain your Block Value set as you level up.
Shield of the Templar - I love threat and mitigation in one talent. What this bad boy does is increase the damage dealt from your Avenger's Shield, Holy Shield and Shield of Righteousness by up to 30%. In addition, it will reduce all damage taken by up to 3%.
The 3% Damage Reduction is not currently in Beta, but it has been communicated that it is coming via Blizzard on the Beta forums. I'm not sure if it will make the patch or not.
This to me was one of the most important talents added in Patch 3.0.
We've long known that our 6% Damage Reduction (DR) from Improved Righteous Fury was far behind Defensive Stance with 10% DR. The issue was that Improved Righteous Fury was low enough in the Protection Tree for Retribution Paladins to pick up, and in fact a popular Retribution Build was 0/20/41 for just that reason.
Defensive Stance is available to all Warriors, but when that Arms Warrior drops into Defensive Stance, he loses the ability to do many of his higher DPS moves and the Stance itself causes him to do 10% less damage.
The Retribution Paladin has no such penalties for activating Righteous Fury. So for Righteous Fury to catch up to Defensive Stance, the added Damage Reduction had to be deeper in the tree.
This talent was a big step towards Tank Class Parity.
Then as an added benefit, Blizzard gave it a Threat increase component as well.
Divine Guardian - This talent represents a unique tool in the Paladin tool kit. What happens is that 30% of damage taken by party and raid members within 30 yards is redirected to the paladins instead while Divine Shield is active. The damage dealt to the paladin is absorbed by Divine Shield.
When I saw this talent I immediately thought of High Warlord Najentus. He does an attack that hits the entire raid for 8500. With Divine Guardian up, the raid members within 30 yards of the Paladin would take less than 6000.
This gives Protection Paladins a wonderful utility when offtanking. Because Divine Shield makes you immune, the Boss or Mob will turn away from you while you under the Shield, so it's probably not the best idea to use this as a Main Tank.
The talent is shallow enough in the tree that a Holy Paladin could get it as well, though most observers think Holy Paladins will be looking into the Retribution tree for the 5% Spell Crit.
Here are a couple of sample builds based on the Patch 3.0 Talent trees.
I'm Still Raid Tanking: 0/55/6
I took Deflection over Benediction and I didn't take Guarded by the light. My thinking here is that mana has not been a huge issue, and I generally don't take Spell Warding in my current spec.
Passing The Days To Wrath Tanking 5 mans / 10 mans: 0/55/6
Swapped into Benediction and Guarded by the Light. Dropped Judgement of the Just.
In either spec, you could make a case for dropping Improved Devotion Aura and finishing up Divine Strength.

All the build options work at 70 as long as you have the core talents. So they are options and all depends on the person, what they usually run in 3.0 till Wrath is here and how they play usually.
Change up a bit beyond lvl 70 or 3.0 picking up Divine Plea, and leveling to 80 of course. And if your a BE it also changes having the new Arcane Torrent as well for mana.

You misunderstand Judgement of the Justs's place...Its there for when you dont have a warrior. Thunderclap is superior in every way, its an aoe. Prot warriors will use TC because it affects all mobs. With a Tankadin tanking you STILL will use TC for the other mobs.

- Honors Code said...
I will disagree with your statement that Thunderclap is "Superior in every way" to Judgement of the Just.
Yes, it's AoE. But it's use will be dependant on the encounter design. Perhaps it's like Fathom Lord and the other mobs are too far away to be hit by Thunderclap or it's like Kalecgos where the other tanks is literally in another dimension.
Thunderclap is still a sacrifice of person DPS or TPS for a Warrior, while it is just part of the standard rotation for a Paladin. They don't stack.

In BC, there's a concern that Pally's have trouble tanking slow swinging mobs. Is this still a concerned about this in Wrath?
With Judgement of the Just being automatic.. won't this make already slow hitting bosses hit even slower?
- October 9, 2008 at 3:24 PM
- Honors Code said...
It's possible people are concerned that slow hitters would reduce the amount of threat generated by Holy Shield. This is not really a concern. In T5 and T6, Holy Shield was not a major contributer to my overall threat. Consecration, Judgement and Seal damage were all larger contributors to threat.
Paladins are viable tanks for both slow hitters and fast hitters in tBC.
We excel at fast hitters because they can't break through Holy Shield like they can break through Shield Block to land Crushing Blows.
In 3.0, it's a none issue because Crushing Blows are changed and the charge mechanism of Shield Block is removed.
Judgement of the Just is a good change, and one Paladins have needed for some time.

Why would a ret paladin use RF? This makes me cry.. oud be pulling agro every time SoCom procced.
- October 11, 2008 at 4:31 AM
- Galoheart said...
From what I've seen overall from all my Recount logs Holy Shield is not really that large a contributor of our overall damage/threat at 80 compared to other spells on a single target. It changes much in usefullness when you have more than one target and much more.

I don't understand where you are coming from in your comment? No where did I discuss Ret Paladins using Righteous Fury.

You mentioned Retribution Paladins using Righteous Fury twice in this article...
"The issue was that Improved Righteous Fury was low enough in the Protection Tree for Retribution Paladins to pick up, and in fact a popular Retribution Build was 0/20/41 for just that reason."
"The Retribution Paladin has no such penalties for activating Righteous Fury."
- October 14, 2008 at 1:37 AM
- Honors Code said...
Okay. Thanks krick.
My comment on Retribution using Righteous Fury was said with PVP in mind. The old 0/20/41 spec is a 'cookie cutter' PVP Arena spec.
In PVE, Retribution would not have Righteous Fury
- October 14, 2008 at 8:37 AM
You said (and I saw the blue post about it too) that shield of the templar was reducing dommage by 3%; but I still dont see it neither ingame or on any talent calculator that I know. Is it already added in 3.0.2 and hidden or is it still being tested or what? ^^
Tks for the guide btw, really good.

All that changed, though, with the onset of substantial rains. "We've just been inundated with moisture," Rud tells Straight from the Heartland's Pam Fretwell. "There were a lot of our guys who probably had contracted some gallons who thought, 'Boy, what am I going to do with them again this year?' but that whole process has changed because we've just seen about a foot of rain in the last month and a half or so in North Dakota, and in particular the Red River Valley." (Click to read: High Propane Demand May Slow Delivery) Now that five states in the Upper Midwest are harvesting record corn crops, they need the fuel at the same time, which poses challenges. North Dakota's governor has eased transportation restrictions, and trucks are carting in fuel from around the country to ease the tight situation.

LONDON--(Marketwire - Jan 11, 2013) - Harmonic Energy Inc. (OTCQB: ASUV) (OTCBB: ASUV) is a company focused on tyre manufacturing and recycling, using an innovative approach to energy efficiency and sustainability. Harmonic is pleased to announce that its integrated social media campaign has made significant gains over the past few weeks and information about the company's green tires and sustainable manufacturing process has been well received by the environmental products and consumer market place.
In 30 days since the announcement of the social media and product awareness campaign Harmonic has gone from having only 30 Twitter followers to over 100,000 followers, its YouTube Channel has had nearly 1000 views and likewise the company now boasts over 11,000 "Likes" on Facebook, now giving the company significantly more reach with both its investors and partners. Based on these numbers we believe that this reflects people's growing interest in the company and its business model. In review and when compared to any of the major tire manufacturers Harmonic's social media campaign in 30 days has gained more social interest than several manufacturers combined. "We are very proud that so many people in such short time have taken notice of our energy efficient tire recycling company," commented Jamie Mann, CEO of Harmonic Energy Inc.
Jamie further states, "The interest in all things 'green' continues to grow as the economy recovers. A large and growing percent of people are now more likely to buy environmentally responsible products. Sustainability is coming into its own as a force to drive competitiveness. We believe that our business model gives the tire industry the ability to minimize costs through environmentally conscious operations -- boosting profits, developing brand value and building a stronger position which has the potential to ultimately beat less adaptive competitors."
Harmonic's operations can benefit America's manufacturing heartland by creating jobs and green products, while reducing pollution, and producing clean, onshore energy. Harmonic is truly a model for the sustainable future of tire manufacturing and tire reuse. Based on the volume of inquiries the company now receives we believe consumers now understand some of the advantages of the Harmonic business model, such as:
ASUV plans to compete alongside major international tire manufacturers striving for more sustainable manufacturing solutions and commodities, such as The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Michelin SCA and Continental AG.
About Harmonic Energy Inc.
Harmonic is a company that focuses on a comprehensive solution to the disposition of scrap tyres worldwide. Harmonic plans include the utilization of proven technologies that ensure each scrap tyre is either remanufactured and put back on the road as a new tyre or is completely recycled and reduced into marketable chemical commodity products. Both the tyre remanufacturing and carbonization technologies that will be utilized by Harmonic are commercially proven and have viable operating commercial facilities.
Harmonic plans to be the first company to integrate these two technologies to provide a comprehensive 'closed-loop' solution for the management of scrap tyres. By design, Harmonic plans to offer a solution that replicates nature's intentions by developing symbiosis between waste, energy supply and sustainable growth.

Amid these trying times and such a serious economic downturn,, now is the best time to start thinking globally. Expanding into global markets would help to open new opportunities that would lead to the growth of your business.
Of course, now that you're just starting to enjoy success in the local markets, it may seem a little overwhelming, even inadvisable, to think about expanding. The fact is that numerous financial experts have stated that now is the best time to start a business, because a down economy will not stay down forever.
So where to begin? Well the first step would be to begin with business research of your target markets. There are many ways to approach this subject, and there's a lot of advice out there for the best business research methods and practices. Here are my top four ways:
ICAN, Four Ways To Go Global
– Identify your target markets and demographics: This will be your clientele
– Create a business plan: Include your thoughts on how to attract new business, from marketing to finance to operations, etc.
– Apply all your ideas: Without application, you will never get far
– Never give up: It will be slow going at first, but when the results return in your favor, then it will all be worthwhile
As I previously stated, this process will be tedious and slow at first. But if done properly — with proper business research and planning – it will give you a great return on your investment of time.
One final thought to leave you with as you make this transition for your business…

This killing must stop sometime, Niko. Once this is done, then you must
begin to forgive. Think about your future instead of the horrible things that have happened to you, to us, to all of us, in the past.
Roman Bellic talking to Niko Bellic.
Roman Bellic (Serbian: Роман Белић, Roman Belić) is a character in Grand Theft Auto IV and the 31-year old cousin of the game protagonist, Niko Bellic. Bellic was born in Eastern Europe in 1977 but moved to Liberty City in 1998, at age twenty-one. He later claims to be living the "American Dream" and that he has two women, four hot tubs and fifteen sports cars. This prompts Niko to join him in America, where Niko discovers he owns a small, gritty taxi firm, an apartment in Broker, and has large gambling debts, owed to the Albanians and Vladimir Glebov. Roman is also the boyfriend, later husband, of Mallorie Bardas, and the nephew of Milica Bellic. Roman has been arrested on two occasions: in 2005 for promoting gambling and in 2006 for public intoxication and disorderly conduct.
|Spoiler Warning: Plot and/or ending details are in the text which follows.
Early life
Roman Bellic was born in Yugoslavia. He and his cousin Niko grew up together since their fathers were brothers and they lived next to each other. Niko claims that mostly Roman's mother raised both of them when the war came, she used all of the money she had saved to send Roman to the United States of America. She also wanted to send Niko to the U.S., but he stayed to fight in the war. In a conversation with Kate McReary, Niko says that he found Roman's mother raped and murdered, although Niko told Roman that she died in a house fire. In conversations between Niko and Roman and other characters, it is revealed that both Niko's and Roman's fathers were alcoholic, wife-beating bullies.
Grand Theft Auto IV
When Niko arrives in Liberty City, he soon finds out that Roman is heavily in debt with various figures in the city, including the Russian and Albanian Mafias, due to his gambling addiction and his attempts to support his taxi depot. Roman employs his girlfriend Mallorie at his taxi depot; although he is unaware, she is having an affair with Vladimir Glebov. Niko kills Dardan Petrela and beats up Kalem Vulaj and Bledar Morina, three Albanians, when they attempt to collect their money. When Roman finds out about Mallorie's affair with Vlad, he is upset, and Niko confronts and kills Vlad for him. Vlad's death causes Roman to become paranoid because he fears retaliation from Faustin. His fears proved to be well founded. He and Niko are later kidnapped on orders from Mikhail Faustin. Faustin shoots Roman in the stomach because he was screaming, but Roman survives. This leads to Niko doing a couple jobs for Faustin such as killing Lost member Jason Michaels. After Niko kills Faustin for Dimitri Rascalov, Rascalov and Ray Bulgarin betray Niko, burning down his apartment in Hove Beach and Roman's taxi depot. Roman moves into Mallorie's apartment in Bohan, where he also opens another taxi depot with the insurance money he receives from the fire in the first one.
Roman later has a "cold streak" in his poker games, leading the Russians to hire Johnny Klebitz with the help of Malc to kidnap him, taking him to a warehouse in the Bohan Industrial of Bohan. The Russians hope that they can kill Niko when he tries to rescue Roman. Niko would later rescue him. After his cousin rescues Roman, he continues betting. This time he wins a lot of money, changing his taxis from Esperantos to Cavalcades and buying a penthouse in Algonquin, telling Niko they are finally going to live the dream.
He goes to Maisonette 9 with Brucie Kibbutz regularly and is seen in The Ballad of Gay Tony, and briefly converses with Luis Lopez.
Towards the end of the storyline in GTA IV, Niko has to decide if he will kill Dimitri in revenge for his betrayal or work with him again in a heroin deal for Jimmy Pegorino. Roman urges Niko to forget revenge and work with Dimitri, considering the large amount of money he could receive for his work. He tells Niko he would be able to afford a great honeymoon with Mallorie and that maybe him and Niko could take a private jet to Vice City.
If the player strikes a deal, Dimitri will betray Niko again during the mission and afterwards, will send an assassin to kill Niko at Roman's and Mallorie's wedding. Niko will fight the assassin, but in the struggle, Roman is inadvertently shot and killed. After Niko kills Dimitri before the Statue of Happiness with the help of Little Jacob, Mallorie will reveal that she is pregnant with Roman's son.
If Niko decides to get revenge on Dimitri, Jimmy Pegorino will be furious about his business being ruined. During Roman's and Mallorie's wedding, Pegorino will attempt a drive-by shooting, killing Kate McReary, Niko's love interest. After Niko kills Pegorino, Roman will tell him that Mallorie is pregnant, and that if it's a girl, her name will be Kate. (Since Roman is unaware of the gender already being male as of yet)
After Grand Theft Auto IV
Niko Bellic's Lifeinvader page can be seen on Jimmy De Santa's laptop in Grand Theft Auto V. A few of his friends can be seen to the side, Brucie Kibbutz, Little Jacob, and Roman Bellic. This means that Roman is still alive, and the Revenge ending mission is the canon, therefore Roman Bellic is alive, and Kate McReary is deceased by the end of GTA IV. This is known because Lifeinvader did not exist in Grand Theft Auto IV and beforehand. It is presumed to have been founded by Jay Norris sometime between 2009 and 2013. Roman's cab company is mentioned once in Grand Theft Auto V, with Tavell Clinton (Franklin's unseen cousin who had moved to Liberty City six months before the events of GTA V) describing it on Lifeinvader as the worst taxi company in Liberty City. This is possibly because of the rudeness and constant complaining of Mohammed, Roman's main cab driver. As of 2014, Roman is aged 37, being only one year older than Niko. It is assumed that him and Mallorie now have a son, who would be five years old.
|Spoilers end here
- Niko can call Roman at certain points throughout the story to hear to his input on Niko's work.
- After getting his relationship with Roman high enough, Niko can phone Roman to send a taxi to take him anywhere in the city for free.
- Roman drives a black taxi named Roman's Taxi from his depot, which is a custom Esperanto.
- Roman is voiced by Jason Zumwalt, who posted a video on YouTube stating that he was not receiving any fame or credit for his role, and set up a program called "Rent Roman". For a fee, he would come to your house and play GTA IV with you for one day. Later, Zumwalt explained that the video was only a joke.
- Roman has apparently gained a fair amount of weight since Bernie Crane last saw him, which implies he has not always been of large build, though Bernie admits he is still "kind of cute".
- Roman's e-mail address is email@example.com.
- Roman is one of eight characters to make an appearance in the original GTA IV and both its episodic packs. The other seven being Niko Bellic, "Gay Tony" Prince, The Cook, Johnny Klebitz, Luis Fernando Lopez, Isaac Roth and Mori Green.
- Roman's favorite location for being picked up is near his Cab Depot and by sex shop from mission Do You Have Protection? in friendship activities.
- Roman's favorite radio station is The Vibe 98.8 as he may say things like "Wow, this is a Record!" or "This record reminds me of sex. Good sex!"
- Roman's favorite place to eat is Burger Shot, for his love for American fast-food restaurants.
- Roman watches internet porn, as he says, "Lord, I am sorry for all the women I've chased, the money I've spent, the internet porn..." when being kidnapped in Roman's Holiday. This may also be a reference to the fact that he appears outside the sex shop for friendship activities.
- Roman apparently smokes. If you arrange a friend activity, just before picking him up you can sometimes catch him taking a puff or two of a cigarette. It is unsure whether he is programmed in-game to smoke or if he is programmed to use pedestrian behavior, the latter is likely.
- Roman's cell phone is new and on the Whiz network. His previous phone, which he gives to Niko, is on the Badger network and has no camera or internet connectivity.
- The name "Roman" exists in Russian, Polish, Belorusian and Ukrainian first names. It is rare in Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrin and Serbian first names.
- If the player takes Roman out to friend activities and the player parks his/her car near 2 cars, Roman may punch Niko and might even say "give me that car back!", but will not drive away and will just get out. This works on the Middle Park East and South Bohan safehouses.
- Oddly enough, if the player chooses the Revenge ending, Roman's voicemail will not change from when he was single and he will still go to the strip club with you if you ask him, however he won't ask you to go there with him once he is married unless it is nighttime.
- If the player chooses the Revenge ending and finishes the game and takes Roman on a activity, he may reference to Kate's death and tells Niko to stop mourning and enjoy life.
- Roman has a Lifeinvader page in 2013 as seen in Grand Theft Auto V on Jimmy De Santa's laptop.

Kony 2012: The Complex Kaleidoscope of Transitional Justice in Uganda
[Michael A. Newton is Professor of the Practice of Law, Vanderbilt University Law School]
The Kony 2012 campaign had the laudable goal of increasing public awareness in order to aid the search for justice and accountability in the wake of LRA atrocities. In fact, the worldwide attention had the paradoxical effect of demonstrating the lamentable reality that the optimal pathway towards authentic justice for LRA victims in that setting is neither simple nor self-obvious. This is true for a number of reasons which I shall summarize.
Firstly, the complexity of factors in Uganda and the overriding imperative for ending two decades of disastrous conflicts have led to an artificial dichotomy in debates between the poles of peace versus justice, local versus international responses to atrocities, and the population's desire for forgiveness and reconciliation versus punishment. These artificial polarizations have clouded debates about the most appropriate ways to address conflict and its aftermath, implying either/or choices when combinations of these elements often better reflect popular perceptions and lead to more effective practical strategies. The creation of a modern holistic system of accountability for international crimes should, as framed by the aspiration of a leading Ugandan lawyer, serve as the interface of the ICC and domestic processes that "link together in an inseparable synergy the restorative/traditional, official and international justice mechanisms."
In other words, an authentic sense of justice that benefits from a sense of local level ownership is actually a mosaic of prosecutions, accountability, reconciliation, reparations, institutional reform, reintegration, truth-telling, and (it must be also be emphasized) retribution against those recalcitrant leaders that do not want to share a revitalized sense of community peace and stability. The precise contours of these linkages remain under debate in Uganda, and victims groups tell me that their most pressing needs revolve around psychosocial counseling and educational/behavioral deficits. I shall leave discussion of the traditional tribal methods used in Uganda for another posting, but vast numbers of former child soldiers have been…

Business briefs: Gilead, Boehringer, Rx sample ban
Germany's regulator is not in a Stribild-favoring mood. Pharmalot's Ed Silverman writes in Forbes that the government body issues a preliminary decision that says Gilead's four-in-one HIV medication Stribild doesn't have an advantage over Atripla. Silverman notes that Stribild has fewer psychiatric side effects than Atripla, but this difference has not swayed the regulator. Silverman says the importance is not so much Germany's market, which is a small one, but the impact it's decision could have on its neighbors should they take note of what's happening there. His reason: research from ISI analyst Mark Schoenebaum which notes that failing to get Germany's OK would peg Stribild's price to Atripla, which is lower and closer to generic status, which means Atripla's price, and therefore Stribild's could drop again.
Boehringer Ingelheim and Roche subsidiary Ventana will collaborate on developing companion diagnostics for BI's oncology programs, the companies announced Thursday. The agreement will use Ventana's immunohistochemistry platform to support BI's personalized medicine efforts in the cancer space.
New York took away unfettered access to baby formula samples, and some Wisconsin hospitals are upping the ante and saying no to prescription drug samples. The Green Bay Press Gazette reports that a Fox Cities based health system named ThedaCare is among the facilities have ended sampling, citing research that indicates samples drive patients to demand higher-priced medications, triggering higher out-of-pocket costs. The Gazette notes that ThedaCare is not the leader in this move – Green Bay's Bellin Health beat them to it several years ago.

The stars of 'Teen Mom' are constantly making up and breaking up, but which couple is the most lovey-dovey this Valentine's Day? Check out our best and worst list! Around Valentine's Day there's always love in the air — and the Teen Mom couples are no exception! From Tyler Baltierra and Catelynn Lowell's engagement to Maci Bookout and Kyle King's big breakup, see which couples are feeling the love this year.
Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra are by far the happiest couple! They've made it through so much together over the years, and now they are happily planning their wedding. Adorbs!
Leah Messer and Jeremy Calvert were doing well until he was recently caught getting too friendly with some strippers. But Leah's standing by her man, so they'll certainly be together this Valentine's Day.
Kailyn Lowry and her new boyfriend Javi Marroquin can't stop tweeting gushy messages to each other! They're soooo in love!
When Jenelle Evans was with Kieffer Delp it was mega-drama 24/7, but things seem to be great with her new love Gary Head!
Although Adam Lind and Chelsea Houska aren't technically together, we think it's only a matter of time until he comes crawling back again.
We really thought Maci Bookout and Kyle King could make it last, but rumor has it they've called it quits! Guess they'll be celebrating V-day alone this year.

"As we've known for a few months, the Windows client team at Microsoft is working on its first 'feature-pack' update for Windows 8, supposedly due this summer/fall, which is codenamed 'Blue'. But it turns out Blue isn't a Windows thing only, according to one very accurate tipster of mine who doesn't want to be identified. Blue also is the way Microsoft is referring to the next substantial platform update for Windows Phone, the Windows Services (like SkyDrive, Hotmail, etc.), and Windows Server, according to my source. In other words, Blue is a wave of product refreshes which are not expected to arrive exactly all on the same day, but which are meant to be released more or less around the same time."

Watch This and you'll see what I mean.
Sure, we have touch screens all over the place but they generally only recognise one point of contact at one time. They're also fragile and relatively clumsy to use.
The new multi-touch approach changes things slightly. Given that the technology requires a fair amount of kit behind the screen, it's unlikely we will see multi touch (of this type) on phones and laptops any time soon but take the technology to a wall or a desk and things get interesting.

The Bavarian Look
Folklore dress not only is and always will be a fashionable way to dress, but it represents an essential aspect of Bavarian culture. Worn by locals to traditional Bavarian festivities such as the hoisting of a maypole, the Oktoberfest or on church high days and holidays, Bavarian folklore costume is also popular at weddings, birthdays and anniversaries.
Lederhosen – traditional Bavarian leather breeches
As the kilt in Scotland and the cowboy hat in the USA, Lederhosen are a great source of national pride and are worn by men of all ages across the state. Lederhosen (literally: leather trousers) were once commonly used as work trousers by men throughout the Alps and surrounding areas. Lederhosen are – and were always – seen as a symbol of virility and brawn. They are extremely hardwearing and are therefore the trousers of choice for such outdoor activities as hiking, working and gardening. Today, although still worn by some for work, they are more usually reserved for celebrations and festivals.

40 Years Ago, Aug. 29, 1973
Professional positions filled by School Board
Monday evening's school board meeting was mainly devoted to the hiring of personnel to complete the school's staff prior to the next Thursday's opening date. A department chairman, 12 teachers and seven auxiliary personnel members were added to the 1973-74 school roster. In addition, five appointments were made to the non-professional staff.
James Ace was hired by the board to fill the vacant position of English department chairman. Ace will direct curriculum and staff for grades 6-12.
Marilyn Burak, an elementary teacher, was hired. Jennifer Howells, a sixth-grade teacher at the middle school, and Harry Thaxton III, also of the middle school, were given permanent staff appointments. These three teachers have served in other capacities prior to the board's action at Monday night's meeting.

Where did he go?
Scanners, telephones and barking dogs were working overtime late last Monday afternoon in Ferry Village as Erie County Sheriff's deputies and residents scoured wooded areas and fields for the three men who robbed the Bedell House.
It all started when owner Charlotte Guenther saw three men in the closed tavern while she was making a routine check. Shortly after that, the burglars spotted arriving sheriffs and took their leave.
It was later reported one suspect had been picked up on Beaver Island Parkway trying to hitch a ride. Minutes later, another man was picked up near Elmwood Road. While the third man remained at large (he was picked up the next morning), the neighborhood had the jitters - would he steal a car? A boat? Was he hiding in the woods until darkness fell? Did he go to Beaver Island and mingle with the crowd?
Warning to future burglars: stay out of Ferry Village!
20 Years Ago, Aug. 27, 1993
Indians seek to reclaim Grand Island
The Seneca nation of Indians this Wednesday began legal action aimed at repossessing Grand Island and evicting its property owners. It also wants a return of about 300 acres of land on the Cattaraugus Reservation now being used by the New York Thruway.
Calling the sale of Grand Island to the state "illegal," the Senecas claim the thruway property was improperly obtained in 1954 because the federal government, according to the Seneca Nation President Barry Snyder, never ratified the transaction.
"Ridiculous" is the word heard most frequently around town in discussions about the Seneca's lawsuit. Few residents, if any, seem to be taking it seriously. One landowner, however, did inquire at the Town Hall if he should pay his taxes.
10 Years Ago, Aug. 29, 2003
Construction will not delay opening of school
The halls of Grand Island High/Middle School and Huth Road facilities may have been without students for the majority of the summer, but crews have spent the past several months working on numerous projects at the aforementioned sites.
Despite a rainy summer that has delayed progress on the construction, School Superintendent Thomas Ramming announced during Monday's Grand Island School District Board of Education meeting that school will start on time.
"The first day of student attendance will be Sept. 3, and while we expect some inconveniences, school will be ready for students on that day," Ramming informed the Dispatch.
