Vt. Legislature poised to elect new guard chief
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Three of the candidates seeking to be become the next leader of the Vermont National Guard each have decades of military service. The fourth isn't a guard member and is running primarily to oppose the possibility the Air Force could station F-35s, the next generation fighter planes, at the Burlington International Airport.
The next adjutant general will be chosen Thursday by a joint session of the Legislature. Lawmakers will cast secret ballots to elect the officer who will lead about 3,000 members of the Army guard and 1,000 members of the Air National Guard.
The candidates are seeking to succeed Maj. Gen. Thomas Drew, who became interim adjutant general last summer after his predecessor left to become deputy commander of the United States Northern Command, which oversees North American defense. Drew did not to seek re-election to the four-year post.
Like much of the U.S. military, the Vermont National Guard is winding down after more than a decade of war. Army and Air Guard members have served numerous overseas deployments, including many that involved sustained combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But the end of the wars presents its own set of challenges, including caring for the soldiers and airmen after their deployments.
Air Guard Brig. Gen. Steven Cray of Essex Junction, a veteran F-16 pilot, said he feels the biggest issue facing the guard stems from the fiscal challenges facing the United States and Vermont.
"We've already seen that type of pressure from the Air Force being applied to the Air National Guard, and we expect the same to happen on the Army side in the next couple of years," he said after announcing his candidacy in December.
Guard Col. Darryl Ducharme, a veteran helicopter pilot and guard trainer who has also served in Iraq and Afghanistan, said Tuesday that deployments over the last decade have left up to 20 percent of Vermont guard members with medical conditions that would prevent them from being deployed again.
"I think it's critical that we get those folks back in a healthy, deployable status," Ducharme said.
Retired Army Guard Col. Michael Bullock has worked for the guard as a civilian for several years since retiring from uniformed service. He said he served in the Special Forces before joining the Vermont guard where he was twice deployed to Afghanistan.
He'd like to change the culture of the guard to make it more open to new ideas.
"Our resilience is our people and our ability to work together and come together and get our strength from our diversity," Bullock said.
James Marc Leas, a lawyer from South Burlington, is the non-guard candidate.
"I think Vermont needs an adjutant general who will serve and protect Vermont with no responsibility to the chain of command in Washington," Leas said. He cited what he called "unjust wars of aggression" as indicative of the need for independent thinking at the state level.
But Leas' biggest issue is the possibility the Air Force will station the next generation fighter plane, the F-35, to the Vermont Air National Guard. A decision from the Air Force on that issue is expected this spring.
Opponents of the F-35 plan in communities surrounding the Burlington International Airport, where the planes would be based, argue they are much louder than the F-16s they would replace and would affect the quality of life of people who live near the airport.
Proponents say the planes aren't as loud as critics maintain and would only fly for a few minutes a day a few days a week.

Scientists aim to describe a single 'tree of life' that reflects the evolutionary relationships of living things. However, evolutionary relationships are a matter of ongoing discovery, and there are different opinions about how living things should be grouped and named. EOL reflects these differences by supporting several different scientific 'classifications'. Some species have been named more than once. Such duplicates are listed under synonyms. EOL also provides support for common names which may vary across regions as well as languages.

Caring for your intimates doesn't have to be a long drawn out process. We know y'all are busy, hard-working betty babes and finding the time to fit washing your delicates in between dinner and the next game of thrones episode is a feat. Here are a couple tips on how to give the love back to your seamless outfit savers, sexy heart-breakers, and silhouette makers that have always been there to support you, no matter the occasion. We've got you covered.
How to Wash:
We always recommend reading your garment care tags as many items require special cleaning instructions. If you are ever unsure, dry-cleaning is recommended.
Machine Wash:
- Delicate or Gentle cycle
- Cold or lukewarm water
- NEVER run your intimates through the dryer. Always allow your garments to either hang dry or lay flat on a towel to remove excess water
Hand Wash:
- Fill your sink with lukewarm water and delicate washing detergent
- Soak Lingerie for 10-15 minutes
- Gently rub the fabric together to remove dirt
- Rinse in cool water (Until the water runs clear)
- Lay garment flat on a towel
- Lay another towel over the top & press to remove extra water
- Hang dry over a drying rack or lay flat
Tips for Wash/Care:
Spot/Hand Washing is many times preferred to increase the lifespan and keep the vibrance of your delicates.
A soft bristle toothbrush to gently remove dirt
Dryer use beware! Heat from the Dryer can warp wires, break down elasticity composition of materials, and strip dyes from the fabric.
Lingerie bags are ideal for machine wash use.
Best detergents are delicate, non-concentrated, gentle formulas such as our favorite wash, Soak! These get rid of dirt without stripping or damaging the material as well as washing away to keep you safe from any residual soap products that could cause health issues.
Tips for Storing:
Make sure your bra band is unhooked.
Fold one cup into the other, with the band straps laying against each other evenly.
Where the bra strap connects with the band, fold your band down, and again where the tip hits until you have folded your band gently into the cup.
Now take your straps, make sure they are neat, and tuck them into the band.
You should have a neatly folded bra perfect for layering within your drawer for a clutter free view and accessibility!
There are many different hanger options you can find that will allow for multiple bras per hanger to keep space to a minimum while still allowing for easy viewing
Option 1: You will need a pant hanger (one with clips). With your bra band hooked, hold your bra upside down, band in hand, and clip your band, one hook per side
Option 2: You will need a hanger with either multiple clips or rings. If you have clips, take each bra (with band hooked), and clip one strap, allowing the bra to hang. If you have rings, take each bra (with band hooked), and ring one strap, allowing bra to hang. You can have multiple bras per hanger to minimize space used.
Tips for Travel:
Fold the bra (One cup within the other with straps and band for easy stacking
To keep the molded shape, tuck socks/panties into the curvature of the cup
Travel containers for your intimates are available as well!

The poorest part of Milton MA, stretching from Mattapan to the West Side Tedeschi's, to Hudson Street, to the Neponset River. Althought it is not as celebrated as much as the East Side of Milton, West Milton is clearly the superior part of Milton. It is both feared and respected by the rest of Milton, as shown from the Facebook group "Milton, MA." "Whenever you drive down Blue Hills Parkway, your mother makes you lock your door and roll up your window once you enter the city. " West Milton plays home to a very diverse mix of people unlike the E which only has white-Irish-Catholics. A true West Milton-er recognizes it's dominance over the East Side, but remains modest and does not become obnoxious. He also knows the "East-Side Gangsters" are privledged pricks who are wannabe ghetto. From the traffic signs turned upside down, to the graffiti and trash in the temple parking lot, West Milton is the proud home of many, including Mugabe. West Milton is also known for it's epic pick-up games of various sports including football, wiffleball, and hockey. West Milton is a quiet, yet proud brotherhood which has, and will remian tough and danerous.

Everyone has that friend who is a total Apple hater. "Why is there a small 'i' in front of everything?" "Why pay so much more for pretty design?" "Android rawwwwks." "Windows is the OS of the future!" They just can't keep their angry opinions to themselves, but we have a few gift ideas that might make them calm down while flying their Android or Windows flag — at least until the iPhone grande is announced next year …
Grace Digital MatchStick Speaker Dock, $100
When something coins itself as "Not Made for iPhone," you just know the makers have the back of all Apple haters out there. The dock is made specific for the Android-based Kindle Fire and will simultaneously charge the tablet as it blares music from two 3-inch full-range stereo speakers. You can also twist the tablet holder in landscape mode and watch a movie straight from the dock with a boost of sound. A Micro USB connector is included for those who wanna hook up their Android or Windows Phone to the device as well.
Star Wars Xbox 360 Kinect Bundle, $375
Apple may not have its own gaming system, but Microsoft does so fanboys better rep the heck out of its products … especially if it's the limited edition Star Wars package. And really, what tech geek doesn't love Star Wars? The 320GB hard drive comes dressed in R2D2's infamous attire while the wireless controller resembles his good friend C3PO. The all-white Kinect exterior is also a beautiful touch along with the Kinect Star Wars game, so you can pretend to lightsaber slash those Apple gadgets to pieces.
Andru Android USB Travel Charger, $25
Apple haters would never be caught dead using a typical white USB cable, so give them something to represent the Android-green hue they love with the Andru Android USB Travel Charger. The Micro USB plugs into a standard socket and extends for about 4 feet. It also has legs and a stand for when you aren't using it, and Android's eyes light up blue while charging and turn white during standby. You can even move the arms! Adorable, yet functional.
Nexus 7 (32GB, WiFi + Data), $300
If you're not going to endorse the iPad, you must go with one of its strongest competitors: The Google Nexus 7. You can also opt to give the less expensive, 16GB version for $200 – but it's Christmas time and you should go all out for your Apple hater this season. We only have great things to say about the Nexus 7 (despite the lack of a rear camera); it's honestly the best Android tablet you can get out there today. Amazing processor, beautiful UI, competitive pricing, wonderful screen. For just 300 bucks, it's nearly enough to turn an Apple Fanboy against himself.
Klipsch S4A (II) In-Ear Headphones for Android, $100
Screw those iPhone-specific headphones! Android lovers have our own too! The Klipsch S4A (II) is a refreshed version of the original S4A, which delivers quality sound, great noise cancellation, and compact design for those who are always on the go. External control buttons help you skip, pause, play a tune, and the set comes with extra ear tips to fit any ear size. The Klipsch S4A (II) comes in your option of black or white.
Samsung Galaxy Camera, $500
Look at those stupid iPhone users and their laughable purple lens haze and pretentious sapphire crystal camera construction. Ain't gonna find that in my Samsung Galaxy Camera! The latest from Samsung, it runs entirely on Android Jelly Bean. Not only can it take amazing photographs, the Galaxy Camera is also able to run apps just like any smartphone can. You can sync the camera up to your Dropbox and any picture taken will be backed up automatically, so no more worrying about losing your photos if the device ever crashes. But it won't. What do you think this is, an Apple?
Android Squishable, $20-$40
There are a few soft toy choices if you want an Android mascot you can cuddle, but this is the squishiest of the bunch. The larger version of the two provides 15 inches of squeezable, fuzzy green robot, or you can opt for the smaller 7-inch squishable. It's an ideal solution for Android lovers who need … actually, we're not really sure who could need one of these.
HTC Windows Phone 8X (16GB), Starts at $200
Not all anti-Apple fanboys are Android lovers, so we have to give a little love to Windows with the HTC Windows Phone 8X, the latest smartphone to rock the brand new OS. Available in four fresh colors, the HTC 8X is outfitted with Beats Audio, a sick camera, and a rubberized back that will protect against most drops and scratches. If your gift recipient is due for an upgrade, you can score the 16GB HTC 8x for just $200. Otherwise, the smartphone will run you between $550 to $600, depending on whether you purchase it from T-Mobile, Verizon, or AT&T.
12-month Spotify Premium Subscription, $120
So totally against Apple that you can't even stand the thought of using iTunes? That's cool, there are a million other places from which to stream your favorite music. Go with Spotify and you'll continue to rock that green Android trend while integrating a social feature to share with Facebook friends what you're currently listening to. The Premium subscription affords the opportunity to stream songs straight from your Android or Windows Phone, and comes advertisement-free.
Professional Android Robot Mascot Costume, $275
A real Android fanboy would rock this next Halloween … or maybe just next Saturday. According to the Amazon listing for this one-of-a-kind "comfortable and sanitary" suit, the costume is totally professional — don't settle for amateur substitutes! The makers also suggest it would be good for children's parties, but we think it's ideal for the next Apple product announcement.
Bonus gift: A Window, Price varies
If you're actually an Apple fanboy and reading this guide has gotten you up in arms, might we suggest getting one of these for the Microsoft fan in your life?

You should be careful what you pray for.
No, we are not. We are living on a planet that came together 4.5 billion years ago in a universe that began 15 billion years ago. There is no more evidence of us being delusions of a god than there is of us being a computer simulation. Look out of your window; all the stuff out there is real. Fanciful thoughts about us being a delusion or computer simulation or existing in a cell on the back of a giant space rabbit are just that; fanciful thoughts.We can test the theory that gods exist; for example the Christian one that many deluded people are enthralled with, this fellow promises prayers will be answered. They never are. Not once.One life is all we have. Enjoy it and experience it before we return once more to eternal sleep. Don't waste it on imaginary magicians.
The problem being, this doesn't work as an explanation unless you think only one human is real, or (much more likely) unless you think that this sleeping god's personality is so fragmented that he can run literally billions of individual 'fragments', each literally thinking they're a unique individual, in this dream. That goes way beyond schizophrenic, not to mention the multiple personality thing.
The evidence was there for those that opened their eyes
It is common knowledge and taught in all Quantum Mechanics 101 courses that, via the Schrödinger equation, it is possible for a billiard ball to tunnel to any point in space due to its wave function. The probability of a billiard ball tunneling through a wall or other solid object is extremely small but no scientist would deny that it is entirely POSSIBLE for a billiard ball to tunnel through a wall. This possibility is mentioned in the Wikipedia article on the Schrödinger equation in terms of a ball tunneling through a hill:
In my opinion, the reason it is possible for a solid object such as a billiard ball to pass through another solid object such as a wall or a hill is that all objects have a refresh rate of one instance each Planck time. Normally, these instances are generated in accordance with the laws of classical physics but it is possible, due to a glitch, that classical physics can be superseded by quantum mechanics. A billiard ball can 'seemingly' pass through a wall if one instance of the ball is generated on one side of a wall and the next instance of the ball is generated on the other side of it. The appearance is that a self existent/continuously existing object has passed through another but this is not what is actually happening. If it were not for reality being a discontinuous processing output, quantum tunneling, or the superseding of classical physics by quantum mechanics in macro sized objects would not be possible in my opinion.
You seem to be suggesting that I can learn something about the nature of reality by looking out of my window, or by stubbing my toe on a coffee table, as if is our experience and common sense is a good indicator of metaphysical reality. I disagree. In the ancient world, the earth was regarded as flat due to experience and common sense. If anyone suggested the earth was a sphere it was laughed at. "How would the water stay in the lakes, why wouldn't we fall off the earth etc.?" A flat earth made the most sense and had the least number of assumptions for what they knew at the time. It was the model that best followed Occam's razor to explain observed phenomena of the day, such as water staying put in lakes. However, with advances in Hellenistic astronomy, the flat earth model was no longer the best model to explain observed phenomena with the least number of assumptions, hence a new model was needed, that of a spherical earth.
Similarly, Objective Reality Theory is not the best model to explain phenomena related to quantum mechanics and relativity. Virtual Reality Theory explains these things better, with far fewer problems. By VRT I am not referring to anything about God, VRT is a valid scientific theory comparable with something like Hugh Everett's Many Worlds Theory. In VRT, the processing that generates our universe could be entirely naturalistic. VRT is not dependent on any belief in a deity, though I personally happen to have such a belief.
Quote from: junebug72 on July 08, 2013, 08:45:36 AM You should be careful what you pray for.What you seem to be saying, here, is that God will grant your wishes, when they harm you.
Hi June. The little girl down the well is just an example of unnecessary suffering of an innocent. I'm not asking why your god allows her to fall down the well, I'm asking why it allows her to suffer for weeks before she dies. I used the stick marker to make clear she was alive. Countless thousands of creatures die this way in prolonged un-witnessed suffering.
We still don't seem to be getting any answers from theists as to why a god, biblegod for example, allows unnecessary un-witnessed suffering? He witnesses it of course. Maybe it's to build his character?
Nebula, I want to take and minute and say that I agree with you about the existence of God but I'm having a hard time accepting this dream scenario.
June, I'm not arguing against death. I'm asking why theists think that their gods allow creatures to suffer gratuitously and un-necessarily before death. I'm not saying the girl in this example should be saved from death (although if I had the power I would, but then my morals don't come from gods); I'm saying she should be saved from suffering. It doesn't matter how she got there. Lets say absolutely there is human involvement. A rapist has kidnapped her, raped her and thrown her down the well, hundreds of miles from home. He's now gone, will never be caught, will never tell anyone where she is. Do you doubt this type of thing happens? Do you need me to dig out a real example?
Quote from: junebug72 on July 09, 2013, 08:47:04 AMNebula, I want to take and minute and say that I agree with you about the existence of God but I'm having a hard time accepting this dream scenario. ^^^ Heh heh, a perfect example of how the thousands of sects and denominations came to be. ^^^
I have, but I will repeat myself as many times as you like. If God saves 1 of us then he'd have to save us all thereby eliminating death/mortality. It would be very unfair for God to save 1/4, of people dying to the other 3/4. We are all dying.
June, I'll try and make it simpler. On 1st of June 2013 the rapist throws the girl down the well. She dies on the 28th of June 2013. Why, once she lands in the well, would a kind god not simply snuff her life out there and then. No one will witness her long suffering death. I'm not asking for her life to be saved and for the sake of argument if a god were to save her life, in this particular scenario, I would appear at the top of the well shaft with a pistol and shoot the girl dead. She is not walking away from this one.
Nebula, I want to take and minute and say that I agree with you about the existence of God but I'm having a hard time accepting this dream scenario. I guess it is possible but to me highly unlikely. Why would you think that God is dreaming instead of creating.
It does not take intelligence or any skill at all to dream.
Another problem I have with this dream theory is the spirit. In a dream we are not real and do not possess a spirit. Our spirit is what connects us to God,IMO.
Why would you say God is not perfect if God is just taking a very, very , very, etc., etc.... long snooze. We don't really exist right? If we don't exist then how is God not perfect? This whole idea is very confusing to say the least.
That's a mighty long nap. What made God so tired?
Pinch me I'm dreaming. The fact that pain is real makes us real. This is all very real.
My question to you is about evil and the responses to theists as to why it exists. Am I correct in thinking that Christians are split into those that believe the bible literally, that therefore if you believe in Genesis all evil in the world resulted from Adam and Eve's fall from grace ..................And on the other hand, theists that accept the universe is 15 odd billion years old, evolution did happen, Adam and Eve are just stories and that evil has to exist to give us character because god was unable to include this in our make up?
Anytime a believer starts a sentence with "but god can't" or "you can't expect god to" they have just reduced god. A god that "can't" is not much of a god.
Quote from: nogodsforme on July 09, 2013, 03:52:06 PMAnytime a believer starts a sentence with "but god can't" or "you can't expect god to" they have just reduced god. A god that "can't" is not much of a god. I tend to agree, within the context of trying to explain every single possible instance of suffering. It's us that can't. Can't understand. I don't pretend to understand why God doesn't prevent suffering in every instance, and the many examples of terrible suffering dusturb me greatly. Especially if the person suffering has no faith in God.
There's a reason that quantum tunneling usually applies only to particles, rather than macroscopic objects (like billiard balls). It's because the mechanics of quantum physics don't work when applied to classical (macroscopic) objects. There's a reason we've never been able to make a billiard ball quantum-tunnel through a hill, or anything else along those lines.
Actually, virtual reality theory doesn't really explain things particularly well. Certainly not as you've expressed them so far. It seems more like wishful thinking on your part than anything. Certainly this business of arguing that billiard balls being on one side of a wall one instant and the other side the next instant doesn't represent anything that actually happens, as far as we can tell, except on the scale of electrons and photons (which are small enough that quantum mechanics kicks in via the uncertainty principle).At the very least, you're going to have to present additional evidence to support your argument, rather than something that as far as we can tell, has never actually happened.
The ancient peoples (who originally decided that the world was flat) didn't have the leisure to sit down and actually try to figure things out. They were too busy trying to survive. They didn't know (let alone care) about Occam's razor or coming up with models or anything like that. They had no reason to doubt their eyes, so they concluded that their eyes were telling them the truth. That's really all it was. More importantly, things like believing the Earth was flat, or the sun, moon, and stars were painted on an upside-down bowl, didn't negatively impact their ability to survive, so they had no reason to take the time to consider whether it might have been wrong.
What should disturb you more, MM, is when the person suffering has a great deal of faith in god. Like the many stats that show people where there is the most religious faith having much worse lives compared to people with no faith at all.
Because my conception is of an omnibenevolent god and I think a loving, benevolent deity would not intentionally create a place of suffering.
And? What does THAT have to do with anything?
We don't need to be connected TO God because we ARE God. What you seem to experience is EXACTLY what one aspect of God experiences. This particular aspect of God believes it is a human being whose screen name is junebug72. The awareness and life that you think is yours is only one of God's deluded perceptions. There is no 'you' to possess a spirit and be connected to God. There is only God and its delusions.
God isn't perfect because it has a certain aspect that can be tricked into believing something that isn't true. Namely that it is a gazillion different particles, objects and lifeforms. If there is an aspect of you that can be deluded it means you are imperfect.
It's only seems long to the aspect of God that is deluded, which is the aspect that perceives the illusion of the passage of time.
I think I just gave up trying to explain that the original question didn't ask for or require the child's life to be saved. No theist seemed willing or able to give an answer to the gratuitous suffering problem. Furthermore, if that case was true, all the more reason to simply end the child's life as she was falling....of course if I was a real god and saw some lunatic at the top of the well with a pistol, I'd just push him in...

In the new year, Ardmore Public Library patrons will find books in new places as the library completes a shifting and weeding project in the adult section.
"The shelves are tidier. It's a more logical layout with more room for things that are heavily used," said Assistant Library Director Lynnette Haggerty.
Beginning a couple months ago, library staff began the process. They weeded out adult nonfiction books.
"We had books that had not been used for years, either out-of-date or not checked out," Haggerty said.
Books that are weeded out are put in the standing book sale, so patrons can purchase them.
Now, all the non-fiction books will fit in the row of shelves along the east wall.
Fiction books are weeded out about once a year.
"It's pretty full and no way to get rid of it," Haggerty said.
The fiction section had shelves that snaked around when going through the books in order. Now, patrons will be able to walk the shelves in just one direction.
Books in Spanish have been moved out of the alcove on the east side to a shelf near the center of the library.
"We would also like to spruce up the collection," Haggerty said. "We want to buy books people will use." The large print section has nearly doubled in size.
Biographies also now have a prominent location at the end of the fiction books.
"The entire adult section has been moved around," Haggerty said.
Haggerty said she hopes the process will be completed by the end of January.
"I do feel bad for our regular users who could go to a spot and know where the books were," Haggerty said.

John W. wrote:Hope both your readings of Thucydides are going well.
pster wrote:Well, I didn't do much Greek for the last month. The holidays and the flu and possible litigation and moving to the country kept me largely unproductive. But now I am getting back into it. Moreover, because I am going to buy a TV and invest in a TV package with 100 foreign language channels, I am thinking that I won't need to invest as much study time in the living languages. Which theoretically will free up more time for Attic. And so I am actually officially giving Attic priority for the forseeable future. But, I am highly doubtful that it will ever be "going well".
Qimmik wrote:Here's another thought. In the preceding sentence we have τοῖς τε τῶν δήμων προστάταις τοὺς Ἀθηναίους ἐπάγεσθαι καὶ τοῖς ὀλίγοις τοὺς Λακεδαιμονίους. The parallelism between ἐπάγεσθαι and ἐπαγωγαὶ suggests to me that ἑκατέροις is parallel to τοῖς τε τῶν δήμων προστάταις and τοῖς ὀλίγοις, and so refers to the leaders of the factions, not to the A. and the L.
Qimmik wrote:I posted some additional caustic remarks by Dionysius of Halicarnassus on Thucydides on January 16 in this thread.
Qimmik wrote:Dionysius' remarks show that Thucydides was difficult even to native speakers of Greek with full command of the classical language.
With αὐτούς immediately preceding πολεμουμένων, it strikes me that αὐτῶν is probably the understood subject of πολεμουμένων, i.e., the L. and the A. No need to repeat the word when it has just been written (though in a different case). And the contrast is between ἐν μὲν εἰρήνῃ and πολεμουμένων δὲ. I think this must refer to the war between the A. and the L.
Since you've not expressly commented on it, I take it you see no merit in Hude's idea that πολεμουμένων could be neuter, and mean 'with things in a state of war'? The nearest parallel I can find for that would be 3.6.2, καὶ τὰ μὲν περὶ Μυτιλήνην οὕτως ἐπολεμεῖτο, but I don't know if this is enough of a basis for taking it as neuter at 3.82.1.
I take your point re Dionysius - and I believe Cicero somewhere comments to the effect that the speeches in Thucydides are sometimes almost unintelligible.
pster wrote:John,
Is there another commentary for Book II that is similar to Marchant, ie a student commentary?
Also, besides the funeral oration, what are your favorite speeches, if you have any?
Qimmik wrote:On a quick glance, Rusten's edition of Book 2 actually seems to provide more help on linguistic questions than Marchant's edition of Book 1. Rusten's discussions of historical and literary matters seems to be aimed at a higher level than Marchant, though.

John W. wrote:
By 'the two upheavals in Book III', do you mean the one at Notium and the one at Corcyra? I don't have a chronology for these, I'm afraid, beyond the facts that Thucydides (a) recounts both of them as happening in the summer of the fifth year of the war, and (b) describes the one at Notium (briefly) before the one on Corcyra (Notium 3.35; Corcyra 3.70-85).
John W. wrote:
Thucydides is clearly using Corcyra as his 'paradigmatic' example of stasis, i.e. the single instance of such a phenomenon which he describes in detail.
John W. wrote:
Your point about 'comparison classes' following some of the examples is interesting - would that then mean that the nearest English equivalent would be something like 'the first of its kind'?
John W. wrote:It is perhaps worth noting that, in the list of examples at the start of my post yesterday, only one has the adjective in the dative, and so agreeing with the article - 4.105.1 (ἐν τοῖς πρώτοις). Here the meaning seems fairly clear: Thucydides is talking about himself, and is surely describing himself as 'one of the most influential men on the mainland' (rather than 'the most influential man ...'). It's the examples with the adjective in the nominative which are unclear ...
John W. wrote:
As far as I'm aware, with the single exception of ἐν τοῖς πρώτοις at 4.105.1, all the other examples have adjectives in the nominative.
One further point: it's perhaps worth noting that at 3.17.1 the context does make it clear that the meaning of ἐν τοῖς πλεῖσται etc. is 'one of the largest fleets', rather than 'the largest fleet'. (This section is square-bracketed by the OCT, but not by Alberti, and contains some other textual difficulties.)
Qimmik wrote:Sorry to be unhelpful: that's all I have to say at this point.
pster wrote: Yes, I noticed the textual difficulties around 3.17, and so decided to not linger very long there.
Still, I want to ask about this nominative business. I was imagining that all the cases are possible. Indeed, that was why I wanted to examine 3.17. I agree with you about all of the other examples being nominative. I have the vague sense that you seem to be leaning towards the view that the nominative is required. Correct me if I'm wrong.
If the nominative is indeed required, then that would give us something meaty to ponder. So what is your view? And do any of the commentaries address this?

If you're just getting started on a Shadow Priest of your own, or considering one, then I suggest you take a look at the previous guides applicable to your level:
Priest Leveling: 1-29 Shadow
Priest Leveling: 30-49 Shadow
Playing a Shadow Priest
There aren't really all that many changes in how you'll play your Shadow Priest in this level compared to the last 20 levels. While you get a lot of helpful spells and talent points, none of them really impact how you actually play your class. The biggest change is that you get even more ways to restore your mana so that you can more liberally spread your DoT's around to multiple targets without having to worry about your mana.
Shadow-Specific Tips
If you've been following along with my other guides then you'll know that mana has been an issue for us for some time. Hopefully you've been seeing the same thing I have, in that mana issues for the most part disappear in the 30's or 40's. Well in this bracket we get even more tools to help us with mana regeneration, allowing you to become a bit more aggressive in combat.
Continuing on with the Jedi analogy, this is where you get to stop hiding in the shadows like some wrinke-faced Sith Lord and go whip out a dual lightsaber of doom like Darth Maul. Now sure, Maul ended up falling to pieces in that horrible Episode 1, but you can't deny that he was the coolest thing we'd seen up to that point.
What does that have to do with anything? Well I'll tell you what it ha- WHAT'S THAT OVER THERE!??!??!?
I'm sorry, you were saying? Yeah, I forgot too. So anyway, yes the Shadow Priest is an awesome class to play and now that we've got the mana issues under control it's time to start really start embracing the Shadow and start dishing out the damage.
Important Spells & Abilities
We do get a few new spells in this level range, but only a couple of them really stand out for us as Shadow Priests.
- Mysticism: Increases your Intellect by 5%.
- Shadow Protection: Power infuses the target's party and raid members, increasing their Shadow resistance for 1 hour. If the target is in your party or raid, all party and raid members will be affected.
- Fear Ward: Wards the friendly target against Fear. The next Fear effect used against the target will fail, using up the ward. Lasts 3 min.
- Mind Soothe: Soothes the target, reducing the range at which it will attack you by 10 yards. Only affects Humanoid and Dragonkin targets. Does not cause threat. Lasts 15 sec.
- Mana Burn: Destroy 10% of the target's mana (up to a maximum of 20% of your own maximum mana). For each mana destroyed in this way, the target takes 0.5 Shadow damage.
- Holy Nova: Causes an explosion of holy light around the caster, causing 155 to 179 Holy damage to all enemy targets within X yards and healing up to 5 targets within X yards for 155 to 179. Healing is divided among the number of targets healed. These effects cause no threat.
- Hymn of Hope: Restores 2% mana to 3 nearby low mana friendly party or raid targets every 2 sec for 8 sec, and increases their total maximum mana by 15% for 8 sec. Maximum of 12 mana restores. The Priest must channel to maintain the spell.
- Shadowfiend: Creates a shadowy fiend to attack the target. Caster receives 3% mana when the Shadowfiend attacks. Damage taken by area of effect attacks is reduced. Lasts 15 sec.
At level 50 every class gets a 5% buff to their primary stat for their chosen spec (Intellect for us). That bonus only applies so long as you are wearing the type of armor associated with your class, but since we can only wear Cloth we just get it by default. For us, that buff is called Mysticism. It's not a spell, but it's listed as such, so there you have it.
You get two buffs in this level range to add to your buff collection. The first is Shadow Protection at 52 which gives you and your party/raid resistance to Shadow. It's not great, but what the heck, we'll take it. The second is Fear Ward which auto-cancels the next fear effect that targets you (or the target of your Fear Ward). Shadow Protection is an hour long buff so you want to have it up at all times just in case, but Fear Ward only last for 3 minutes and it's only good for 1 use, so you'll really only use it when you're facing targets that you know are going to fear you.
Mind Soothe is an interesting spell. It reduces the physical range that a mob will agro you at. The only time you'll really find this useful is when you're using gathering professions or when you're trying to "sneak" around in a certain area where your flying mount isn't available. It's uses are fairly slim, but it can be helpful if you're doing gathering professions or gathering quests and would rather not fight every mob in the area. I've personally never used this, but it can help if needed.
Mana Burn is an interesting spell. It destroys mana rather than health (directly, at least) and then converts the amount of mana destroyed into half as much Shadow damage dealt to the target. It's a decent spell to cast for running caster mobs out of mana so that they run into melee range when you're in a dungeon, or for burning through a healer's mana so they can't heal anymore. I generally prefer to just kill the target, but it does have its uses.
At level 62 we finally get our first AoE, Holy Nova. Unfortunately it's a Holy spell so casting it takes us out of Shadowform. The damage on it kind of sucks and the healing isn't bad but it's not great either. I've gone ahead and used it a few times in LFG after getting SW:Pain and Vampiric Touch on all the mobs, then I'll spam Holy Nova while jumping around in the group of mobs hoping for Shadowy Apparitions to proc (see talents below). It worked alright, but it wasn't great and mobs died faster when I just stayed in Shadow and burned them down. It's still kind of fun, though.
Level 64 brings us one of our new mana restoration tools in the form of Hymn of Hope. It restores a total of 20% mana to up to 3 party/raid members and increases their total maximum mana by 15% for 8 sec. It's a channeled spell, just like your Mind Flay, so if you do cast it be sure you let it do its job. The tooltip on it is a little confusing, so don't take it at face value. By increasing the targets' total many it increases how much mana it's actually restoring itself as well. The best way to use this spell is to watch your healer's mana in LFG. If you see him going down a bit, use this to give him a hand. If you're flying solo you can use it to restore your own as well of course, but you shouldn't be struggling with mana very often anymore.
Level 66 introduces our summonable pet, the Shadowfiend. Every time the Shadowfiend deals damage to a target he restores 3% of your maximum mana. If you're really hurting for mana and there's nothing you can get it from with SW:Death casts, a good way to get some of that back is to summon your Shadowfiend and then channel Hymn of Hope while it attacks. Hymn of Hope increases your maximum mana by 20% while it's being channeled so each of the Shadowfiend's attacks are going to restore 3% of your temporarily increases mana pool, meaning it will restore quite a bit more mana every time it hits. If you had 10,000 mana, then each hit would restore about 300 mana. Using Hymn first increases your mana to 12,000 which would make each attack restore 360 mana instead. That might not seem like a whole lot with a 10k mana pool, but when you reach level 85 and you've got twelve times that much mana you'll really start to see the benefit.
Leveling a Shadow Priest
This is my rotation right now for killing single targets. If the target isn't down to 25% health by the time Mind Flay is finished being channeled, I'll just leave them alone and go after another target, allowing SW:Pain finish them off. If they're not elites, they're not going to live through that.
When you're in Outlands you can usually leave the Mind Blast or the SW:Pain cast out of the rotation, whichever you prefer. As I move on into Northrend I've started to leave out the Mind Fly cast and just let the DoT's do their thing to finish the mobs off. Until you get points spent in Shadowy Apparition, I would probably leave out the SW:Pain cast to save your mana.
I changed this up just a little bit from the last guide. The main reason for that is because I like to get the mana regeneration from Replenishment rolling early, which requires you to Mind Blast a target currently afflicted with Vampiric Touch. I also like to make sure my Shadowy Apparitions have as many chances to proc as possible, so I get SW:Pain cast on all of the targets.
I then switch to a second target and use all three of my DoT's on it, adding Devouring Plague to get some heals rolling in as well. All of the other targets just get the two spammable DoT's since Devouring Plague can only be on one target at a time. If I'm low on mana or looking to speed up the kill times then I'll add the Shadowfiend in for some extra damage and mana regen.
If you use a bubble before the first pull to reduce the damage you take and then start taking more damage than you can stand while PW:Shield is on cooldown, just cast Disperse and reduce your damage received by 90%. When it wears off you can use a heal if you need to, and hopefully PW:Shield is about ready to be reapplied, or Psychic Scream is off cooldown.
I changed this one up a bit as well, and for the same reason. I like getting that Replenishment effect rolling as soon as possible, so I do it first, then spam SW:Pain on everything.
While I'm casting my DoT's I generally run a crescent shape pattern back and forth behind my tank while I tab-target all of the mobs to get SW:Pain spread around. The reason for this is to increase my chance to spawn Shadowy Apparitions from 12% up to 60% per damage tick. Your apparitions can do some nice burst damage, so giving them a better chance to spawn can be pretty useful. Just don't forget to have a Fade and/or Disperse ready to cast in case you get several Apparitions to proc and burst your way passed the tank on the threat meters.
In Outlands I topped damage meters by doing 30-100% more DPS than everyone else in basically every instance I ran, including other players who had full, enchanted heirlooms. As I moved on to Northrend that gap quickly closed and now I often fight Mages and Warlocks for the top DPS spot. Don't read that as me bragging, read it as an example of about where we sit as a class on DPS at this level. If you keep your DoT's up and spread them around early then you're going to see good results.
Again, we're going to get Replishment rolling first off, then we're going to establish DoT's. Reapply your DoT's as needed, but remember your Mind Flay will refresh SW:Pain once you've spent your talent points to get the effect. Vampiric Touch (VT) will wear off before Devouring Plague (DP) will, and you'll have enough time to cast 2-3 spells after refreshing VT before you need to refresh DP.
Keep your DoT's up at all times. If you need mana, get it. Shadowfiend, SW:Death, Replenishment (Vampiric Touch + Mind Blast), Dispersion, and Hymn of Hope are all sitting there just waiting to be used, so don't let yourself run dry for no reason. If you're especially low on mana then cast your Shadowfiend first and follow it with an immediate Hymn of Hope. Both of them restore your mana by themselves, but Hymn has the added bonus of increasing the size of your mana pool and the amount of mana returned by the Shadowfiend is based on your maximum mana, so all of its attacks will restore more thanks to Hymn.
Talent Spec: 69 Shadow Priest
- Mind Melt (+1) 2/2: Increases the damage done with your Shadow Word: Death by 30% on targets at or below 25% health, and when you deal damage with Mind Spike, the cast time of your next Mind Blast is reduced by 50% lasting 6 sec. Mind Melt can stack up to 2 times.
- Pain and Suffering 2/2: Your Mind Flay has a 60% chance to refresh the duration of your Shadow Word: Pain on the target, and reduces the damage you take from your own Shadow Word: Death by 40%.
- Paralysis 1/2: When you critically hit with your Mind Blast, you cause the target to be unable to move for 2 sec.
- Shadowy Apparition 3/3: When you deal periodic damage with your Shadow Word: Pain, you have a 12% chance to summon a shadow version of yourself which will slowly move towards a target which is afflicted by your Shadow Word: Pain. Once reaching the target, it will instantly deal 485 shadow damage. While moving, the chance to summon the shadowy apparation is increased to 60%. You can have up to 4 Shadowy Apparitions active at a time.
- Sin and Punishment 2/2: When your Vampiric Touch is dispelled, the dispeller and all nearby enemy targets within 10 yards have a 100% chance to be instantly feared in horror for 3 sec. When your Mind Flay critically hits, the cooldown of your Shadowfiend is reduced by 10 sec.
- Dispersion 1/1: You disperse into pure Shadow energy, reducing all damage taken by 90%. You are unable to attack or cast spells, but you regenerate 6% mana every 1 sec for 6 sec. Dispersion can be cast while stunned, feared or silenced and clears all snare and movement impairing effects when cast, and makes you immune to them while dispersed.
I finished off Mind Melt first because I like that extra damage on SW:Death. You find that mobs have more health when you move from Vanilla into Burning Crusade and again from Burning Crusade into Wrath, both of which you'll do in this level bracket. By increasing the damage that you do you have a better chance of triggering that 12% mana return from your Glyph of Spirit Tap instead of only 10% mana from the Masochism talent.
Pain and Suffering was next on my list because I like to solo all of the Outlands group quests as I come to them. Those group quests are against mobs that have way more health than anything you've faced before, and being able to save mana on those big fights by not having to refresh my SW:Pain spell were a big help, especially when I had to drop Shadowform to heal myself. This talent won't help you much if you're big on just solo questing, but it's great on bosses in LFG as well.
Paralysis is kind of a filler talent right now to get us down to the next level. Rooting a mob when you crit with Mind Flay is pretty cool when soloing, and really useful for PvP, but in places like LFG is most a waste. Whether or not you take this one is up to you. I have some suggestions down below for other places to spend this point.
Shadowy Apparition is a really cool talent. When you have SW:Pain cast you have a chance to summon little shadowy versions of yourself that walk towards your target and burst into shadowy damage when they touch them. The chance to summon one is pretty low at only 12%, but that's only when you're standing still. If you're moving while your SW:Pain ticks away on the target that chance is increased to 60% each time it deals damage to them. If you're fighting mobs 1v1, then chances are good that you're standing still, casting your spells. But if you really want to start nuking things, get your DoT's on the target and then start moving around while your Shadow App's blow them up.
Sin and Punishment is a talent that you're going to need to decide for yourself whether or not you want to take it. It has good value in PvP, but in PvE half of its effect will basically never happen. The benefit of taking it outside of PvP is that when you crit with Mind Flay you have a chance to reduce the cooldown of your Shadowfiend spell by 10 seconds, which is great if you're still struggling with mana. I'm currently playing around with this one to decide if I like it or not for PvE, but so far it's not too bad when doing LFG on boss fights.
Dispersion is one of the signature Shadow Priest spells. It turns you into a shadowy cloud and reduces the damage you take by 90% for 6 seconds. During that time can't attack or cast spells, but you do regenerate 6% of your mana every second for those 6 seconds (so 36% total mana regen). A great thing about this spell is that it can also be cast when you're in almost any kind of CC available (I think polymorph is the only effect it won't break). The most important thing for soloing is the mana regeneration, but the damage reduction is a great bonus as is being able to break so many forms of CC.
If you don't like the feel of Sin and Punishment, as part of it's effect is very much PvP related, feel free to switch those two points around. My suggestion would be to put another point into Paralysis to root the target for 4 seconds instead of 2, and the the remaining point I would put into Psychic Horror to have a targeted fear with the added bonus of a disarm. If you don't like either of those options, then I suggest you put the two points into Harnessed Shadows instead. The two points in Pain and Suffering can be moved as well if you don't like the talent for leveling.
Remember that the talents that I suggest in my leveling guides are chosen based on their usefulness in leveling your character. Some of these talents you won't take if you're already at end game and preparing for heroics or raids. I'll leave that up to the people who focus on end game content.
Level 50 finally opens up our second glyph slot of each type, so we can finally start to get some more power from our glyphs without having to decide whether we're primarily LFG levelers or solo levelers.
Prime Glyhphs
- Glyph of Mind Flay: Increases the damage done by your Mind Flay spell by 10% when your target is afflicted with Shadow Word: Pain.
- Glyph of Shadow Word: Pain: Increases the periodic damage of your Shadow Word: Pain by 10%.
- Glyph of Shadow Word: Death: If your Shadow Word: Death fails to kill the target at or below 25% health, your Shadow Word: Death's cooldown is instantly reset. This effect cannot occur more often than once every 6 sec.
- Glyph of Dispersion: Reduces the cooldown on Dispersion by 45 sec.
I list the Prime Glyphs in the order that I suggest them. Mind Flay and Shadow Word: Pain are the two that I've been using and the two that I think I'm going to keep on using as well. Shadow Word: Death is another good option as it not only gives you a better chance of getting your Spirit Tap glyph to proc, it also gives you a way to deal some quick burst damage to mobs or bosses that are low on health. Dispersion is a decent glyph if you're looking for more survival or more mana regen. It drops the cooldown from 2 minutes to 1 minute and 15 seconds so you can use it a lot more often, but I'm not sure that you really need to cast it that often.
Major Glyphs
- Glyph of Spirit Tap: When you kill a target with your Shadow Word: Death and yield experience or honor, you instantly receive 12% of your total mana over 12 sec.
- Glyph of Fade: Reduces the cooldown of your Fade spell by 9 sec.
- Glyph of Psychic Scream: Targets of your Psychic Scream spell now tremble in place instead of fleeing in fear, but the cooldown of Psychic Scream is increased by 3 sec.
- Glyph of Psychic Horror: Reduces the cooldown of your Psychic Horror by
6030 sec.
Spirit Tap remains the top priority here, though with more mana tools coming out in this bracket you could probably drop it if you really wanted to without worrying too much. Fade is a really good option for me since I like to hit LFG now and then to help me level and it's also good for PvP against pet classes as Fade will often make a pet leave you and target something else if you've not done anything to harm the pet. Psychic Scream is a good option if you're going to do a lot of LFG leveling by making the mobs tremble in place instead of running off in random directions. Last up is Psychic Horror which cuts its cooldown
in half by 30 seconds, though you'll have to spent the talent point to get the spell in the first place before this glyph does you any good.
Minor Glyphs
- Glyph of Levitate: Your Levitate spell no longer requires a reagent.
- Glyph of Fortitude: Reduces the mana cost of your Power Word: Fortitude spell by 50%.
- Glyph of Fading: Reduces the mana cost of your Fade spell by 30%.
- Glyph of Shadowfiend: Receive 5% of your maximum mana if your Shadowfiend dies from damage.
Minor glyphs are still really minor so take whatever you want. Levitate is my first option just because I like using spells like Levitate and don't like having to keep a supply of some stupid reagent in my bags in order to use it. Fortitude is great if you're into LFG and just decent otherwise. Fading isn't a bad option, though it's not especially good either. Shadowfiend has some real good potential, but I don't think my Shadowfiend has died from damage even once so it wouldn't do me much good right now.
Gearing Up Your Priest
At this level range you should have enough of your mana returning spells and effects that Spirit isn't quite so important now as far as mana is concerned. Spirit is still a good stat to have, especially with points in Twisted Faith turning it into Hit Rating, but at this point I wouldn't bother stacking it above other stats that are more important to your DPS.
Stat Priority: Intellect > Haste > Crit > Spirit
So I've changed up the priority list just a little bit, dropping Spirit down a couple of notches because it's not as important anymore. Intellect is always the top priority for DPS casters as it provides mana, spellpower, and spell crit. I have Haste ranked next because it can increase your DPS in multiple ways, but it's especially good for classes that make use of DoT's. I bumbed Crit up in the list mostly because of the drop in Spirit's importance, but also because watching all of your DoT's crit and taking a target from 85% down to 14% is a wonderful sight to see, and makes excellent SW:Death fodder for refilling your mana pool.

It is very frustrating to me that the federal government is holding up the project to connect public institutions across the state with broadband using EAGLE-Net Alliance (ENA). Evidently ENA had previously completed an Environmental Assessment (EA) and had a green light to go ahead with the project, but now the project has been put on hold by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) grant office because of concerns by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). Evidently, ENA did not receive approval from the NTIA for its partially implemented new design which put it in violation of its Environmental Special Award Condition (EASAC) even though ENA has submitted supplemental Environmental and Historic Preservation (EHP) documentation.
The NTIA lists several concerns: adequacy of an EA that meets the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), consultation with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and the satisfaction of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), and finally, properly secured permits from other federal agencies including but not limited to the USDA-Forest Service (USDA-FS), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and the Federal Communications Commission (FAA).
In the meantime ENA is sitting on its hands and the cost to the taxpayer is going up every day, not to mention that students around the state are still deprived of broadband service. It seems to me that there are a lot of agencies and bureaucrats that don't know what each is doing and are costing us taxpayers a lot of wasted money. When are we going to say enough is enough and take our country back?

He meets up with his idiot nephew. "Here ya go Lad, I bought ya a present!" Jimmy likes presents indeed. He tears it open with vigor.
Jimmy wonders what the gleaming object is. "Ya like that, son?" asks George.
Jimmy inspects it with acute animal senses. "That's your first knife, boy! All red-blooded nincompoops need a sharp object to carry around with 'em!"
Jimmy tests it's wind shearing weight.
He's getting a feel for it! George slyly coughs "A-heh-ahem!"
