DuPont™ Nomex® 900 Series for Liquid-Immersed Transformers
Designed specifically for liquid-immersed transformers, the DuPont™ Nomex® 900 Series provides an ideal insulation solution, helping to enable increased short and long term reliability, or reduced size and weight with greater power density.
Insulation systems based on Nomex® 900 Series papers and pressboards help maintain excellent electrical and mechanical characteristics over the service life of a liquid-immersed transformer.
With insulation systems based on the Nomex® 900 Series, the weight of a given liquid-immersed transformer can be reduced by as much as 25% for a given kVA output. Conversely, the kVA rating can be increased by up to 50% for a given size and weight.
The Nomex® 900 Series is compatible with commonly used adhesives, transformer oils and dielectric fluids, including high-temperature liquids, such as silicone oil or ester liquids, which permit even greater savings in size and weight.
Nomex® 910
Nomex® 910 is a unique aramid enhanced cellulose material, composed of high quality electrical grade cellulose pulp and the same binder made from high temperature meta-aramid polymer as used in other Nomex® brand papers. The paper consists of a single consolidated sheet without any additional binders or additives.
It exhibits physical and electrical properties that are between Nomex® 410 and cellulosic papers. And can therefore be used in optimizing transformer designs with regards to cost, operating temperatures or extension of insulation system life.
Based on thermal aging ( IEEE C57.100™-2001) the thermal performance of Nomex® 910 is at least 20°C better than that of standard Kraft paper in mineral oil systems. This performance enhancement translates to a system thermal class of 130°C in mineral oil.
Comparing dielectric tests results in mineral oil (ASTM D149), the new paper has more than 30% higher AC dielectric strength than Kraft paper. This could provide an advantage in the design of transformer windings, with potential savings in multiple layer insulation structures.
Applications for Nomex® 910 include interlayer insulation in liquid-immersed transformers for distribution and small power, and wire-wrapping of conductors in medium and larger transformer designs.
Nomex® 910 is initially offered in three thicknesses—0.08 mm (3 mil), 0.13 mm (5 mil) and 0.18 mm (7 mil). Additional thicknesses may be offered in the future.
Nomex® 926
Nomex® 926 is a strong, high-dielectric, high temperature, extremely durable and chemically stable paper that is specifically designed for use as wire wrap in liquid-immersed transformers. Due to the excellent impregnability of Nomex® 926, its electrical properties are enhanced in oil. Nomex® 926 offers exceptional resistance to shrinkage and compression.
Nomex® 926 is ideal for applications with high-load stresses. It is suitable for all temperature applications defined within IEEE C57.154, which has an upper thermal class of 180°C.
Nomex® 926 is available only in a 0.05-mm (2-mil) thickness.
Nomex® 992 PSB
Nomex® 992 PSB is a low-density pressboard produced in two thicknesses—1.6 mm (63 mil) and 3.2 mm (125 mil)—with a specific gravity of 0.5. The low density of Nomex® 992 PSB allows easy formation of complex shapes and provides the highest saturability of the Nomex® pressboard products.
One of the more common applications for Nomex® 992 PSB is transformer core tubes.
Nomex® 993 PSB
Nomex® 993 PSB is a medium-density pressboard produced in thicknesses ranging from 1.0 mm (40 mil) to 4.0 mm (160 mil), with specific gravities ranging from 0.7 to 0.9. Nomex® 993 PSB provides a balance of rigidity and conformability, along with outstanding saturability and excellent properties in oil.
Nomex® 993 PSB is well suited for liquid-immersed transformer applications that require a larger formed part, such as angle rings, dielectric barriers or core tubes in larger transformer designs.
Nomex® 994 PSB
Nomex® 994 PSB is a high-density pressboard produced in thicknesses ranging from 1.0 mm (40 mil) to 9.6 mm (380 mil), with specific gravities ranging from 1.1 to 1.2. Nomex® 994 PSB provides superior stability under compressive loads. This superior resilience helps to ensure that coil structures can remain tight and able to withstand short circuit forces—even after years of service.
It will absorb oils and other liquids, but not as readily as Nomex® 992 PSB and Nomex® 993 PSB.
Nomex® 994 PSB is typically used for spacers and other structural components in liquid-immersed transformers.
Typical Liquid-Immersed Transformer Applications for Nomex® 900 Series
- Mobile transformers
- Traction transformers
- Wind turbine generator step-up (GSU)
- Rectifier transformers
- Furnace transformers
- Distribution transformers (<36 kV)
- Power transformers (>36 kV)
- Rail trackside transformers

Bruce Springsteen: Born to Philosophize? The Boss Studies Socrates
We know the Boss has a hungry heart, but he may also have a philosopher's soul.
A high-brow study of famous thinkers got a jump in sales after Bruce Springsteen was photographed reading it recently.
On June 23, the U.K.'s Daily Mail published a photo of the musician with his wife, Patti Scialfa, at their daughter's equestrian event in Rotterdam. He's poised over James Miller's "Examined Lives: From Socrates to Nietzsche," a collection of short biographies of 12 famous philosophers, in a suede jacket and glasses, pencil in hand. The book's title is a bit of philosophic wordplay on Socrates's view that the unexamined life is not worth living.

60 seconds with Nick Kirrage on where to find value
Where are the value opportunities in equities today? Nick Kirrage explains.
As value managers, we let valuation be our guide and we try to focus on the cheapest parts of the market to identify areas where history suggests we'll make money for clients.
Today, those areas are sectors like banking and commodities; some of the most unloved and in some ways unnerving parts of the market.
They're the complete opposite of the most expensive parts of the market; more stable areas like tobacco and staples, where people value the consistency but have bid prices up to very high levels.
When we look at some of the aspects of banking franchises for example, we think there are some high quality elements extremely well-hidden among bad news. That creates an opportunity for us to invest to generate returns for the long term

Re: Starbound
I haven't played that game, but I have seen it on Steam. I am not usually a fan of 2D worlds and their various puzzles and challenges. I was watching the trailer to this game and I really didn't like the part about jumping and avoiding these blocks with electrical current going through them. Don't get me wrong, it might be a great game to play, but it just isn't for me. Thanks for sharing though and you might introduce some others who like this kind of game!

Election 2004
Your friends at the Alibi love to vote. We love it so much, in fact, we're encouraging all of you eligible voters to get on board and feel the rush. Early voting has already begun and between now and election day you can walk into the County Clerk's office on the sixth floor of Civic Plaza (call 768-4085 for hours) or you can log onto www.bernco.gov to locate an early voting location near you. Or, you can go vote on Nov. 2 when polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. No matter when you choose to do it, though, it is your civic responsibility as an American to vote—don't make us send a car!

Richard Romero: The Real Deal versus a Placebo
To receive our endorsement, candidates must meet with our editorial board. It's not complicated. We ask difficult questions and we expect informed, detailed answers. We like candidates with intelligence and enthusiasm, folks with a strong attachment to the community and a desire to work hard in the public's interest.
Election 2004
Justice of the New Mexico Supreme Court

Albuquerque Republican attorney Ned Fuller is challenging incumbent Supreme Court Justice Ed Chavez, an Albuquerque Democrat, for the only contested seat this year on the state's highest court.
Election 2004
New Mexico Court of Appeals
Michael Vigil
Republican Paul Barber, an Albuquerque attorney, is challenging incumbent Democrat Michael Vigil, also of Albuquerque. Barber is running on the identical "rescue the courts" platform as Ned Fuller. If you believe there is a crisis of public confidence in the state judiciary, that activist judges are rewriting the laws while issuing rulings based on partisan favoritism, and that the rumors are true about judges partying after hours, Mr. Barber is your man. Hopefully, if you do believe this, you have witnessed it with your own eyes or through honest experience of others.
Election 2004
Bernalillo County Clerk
Mary Herrera
One of the biggest howlers in this year's local election is the Bernalillo County Clerk's race. With all the cries of improper voter registration coming from the state Republican party over the past six weeks, guess who is running for County Clerk on the GOP ticket? Nobody. That's right, if the GOP operatives put half the effort into running a candidate that they've put into creating the illusion of a voter fraud scandal, maybe the next County Clerk would be a Republican and all our problems would be solved.

Constitutional Amendment 3
Vote "Yes" for Runoff Voting
Constitutional Amendment 3 will permit Albuquerque to hold runoff elections in all future mayoral and city council races any time a winning candidate receives less than 40 percent of the popular vote. If you think it's a good thing to elect our local officials based on a majority, then vote for this amendment. We think the public deserves better than electing a mayor out of a crowded field with approximately 30 percent of the votes, which is how Marty Chavez took office in 2001 and Jim Baca was elected in 1997. Runoffs would give the public the satisfaction of electing our mayor and city councilors by majority, and we wholeheartedly support the idea.
Election 2004
City/County Unification Charter
Vote "No"
While there are a great many reasons to support city/county unification, apparently the main reason to oppose it is the threat of higher taxes. That at least is the conclusion you might reach from listening to the barely audible debate on one the most important issues facing Bernalillo County voters this year.
Election 2004
District Bernalillo County District and Metro Court Races
Retain incumbent judges, do away with partisan judicial races
This year, you'll find six contested races for judgeships in the Second Judicial District on your ballot and four contested races for Metro Court. And you probably know little or nothing about any of the candidates. Well relax. We have a simple solution for you to consider. Each race pits a sitting judge against a challenger. We don't care what the party affiliation is of any of these candidates, because we are endorsing all the incumbents.
Election 2004
Street Bonds
Vote "No"
It's ridiculous that we are going through this same boondoggle for a second time in 12 months. But unfortunately that's the kind of incompetent leadership you get in Albuquerque sometimes.

Unprecedented Demand: Americans Purchase a Gun Every 1.5 Seconds
Mac Slavo
February 6th, 2013
For the last two months Americans have been lining up in unprecedented numbers at gun shops and gun shows across the country. In fact, demand has been so massive that the FBI's background check system in a number of states crashed as a result of being overwhelmed.
In January, some 2.4 million requests were sent to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), which ranks last month as the second busiest in U.S. history.
It was second only to the 2.7 million people who purchased guns in December 2012.
Even before the mass shooting in Newtown, Connecticut last year, which prompted government officials on all levels to introduce legislation that would restrict access to semi-automatic personal defense rifles and other firearms deemed too dangerous for America's streets, demand had been rising at a rapid pace.
In the last twelve months, over 20 million background checks have been performed by the FBI.
That amounts to a gun being purchased in America about every 1.5 seconds.
Considering that many states allow face-to-face sales and transfers of firearms without requiring a background check, we could easily be looking at 25 million or more guns having exchanged hands since this time last year.
The Rest…HERE

Gov. Martin O'Malley's guests in the state's private skybox at Ravens games this past season included key politicians, campaign donors, and the family and friends of government officials, records show.
It's a mix of people designed to forge political alliances and bolster economic growth, but also to allow the Democratic governor a chance to spend more time with those close to him, said Rick Abbruzzese, O'Malley's director of public affairs.
O'Malley uses his box at the Orioles' stadium in a different manner, the records show. Tickets for nearly 40 percent of those games were given to charities, schools, hospitals and nonprofit institutions last season.
Names on the Ravens skybox list include lawyer Bruce Plaxen, an O'Malley campaign contributor; Michael Enright, O'Malley's childhood friend and close ally; and a number of Democratic legislators. House Speaker Michael E. Busch attended the Dec. 11 Colts game in the governor's box, but Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller is not listed on records of attendees.
The lack of an invitation isn't a slight to Miller, Abbruzzese said, adding, "I think he's more of a Redskins fan."
The Orioles' 81-game home schedule makes it easier to include charitable institutions, Abbruzzese said, while noting that the governor did invite military personnel to one Ravens game. Still, the majority of those invited to M&T Bank Stadium for football games have strong ties to Democratic politics.
"With the Ravens box, we haven't had as much opportunity to [provide tickets to charities] because it is only an eight-game season," Abbruzzese said.
Susan Wichmann, the executive director of the government watchdog group Common Cause Maryland, said the boxes shouldn't just be used as a perk for politicians and their families. She said the large number of politicians on the list of attendees shows the Ravens box "is being used as a political tool."
"The governor has ample time to talk to politicians," she said. "We're not saying politicians shouldn't be invited. We think it should be used more equitably."
Common Cause called on O'Malley to create a written policy governing how tickets are distributed for the boxes.
"We call on the governor, as well as [Baltimore Stephanie Rawlings-Blake], to have a written, delineated policy so it can't be used as a tool for political favoritism," Wichmann said. "It's a leadership choice they make to turn it into something highly partisan and political."
The Baltimore Sun requested the list of skybox attendees and related documents after Rawlings-Blake's use of her mayoral skybox was thrust into the spotlight. She rescinded an offer of tickets to City Council President Bernard C. "Jack" Young for the Jan. 11 playoff game against the Houston Texans. The move came after Young publicly criticized her efforts to plan another Grand Prix IndyCar race.
Rawlings-Blake has not released figures documenting how much public money her guests spent on food and drinks at the games.
O'Malley has no formal process for choosing whom to invite to his box, which is provided to the governor under the lease agreement for the stadium, but he uses it to promote "economic development, federal relations, legislative outreach," Abbruzzese said.
Distributing tickets to the luxury box, the spokesman added, is "one of the responsibilities of office, and we take it seriously. There are occasions where family and friends do end up in the box."
Last season, the Ravens played 11 home games, including two in the preseason and one in the playoffs. At nine home games, attendees in the governor's box spent $2,348.90 of public money on food and drinks. Abbruzzese said the state picks up the tab for food and beverages only if O'Malley is present, and he did not attend two of the games.
The most the group spent at a game was $433.90; the least was $34.42, the governor's office said. The stadium provides the food for O'Malley's guests "at cost," rather than the higher prices charged to regular customers.
"We try to be responsible and not overdo it," Abbruzzese said of eating habits in the box.
Among those present at Ravens games were lawmakers such as Baltimore Dels. Maggie L. McIntosh, Keiffer J. Mitchell and Luke Clippinger, all Democrats.
McIntosh said she sometimes asks the governor for tickets; other tickets were unsolicited. She said she's never felt any pressure to vote a certain way as a payback.
"I'm a huge Ravens fan," she said. "On one or two occasions, I brought my mother, who loves the games. I don't see it as a litmus test about the way people vote. I see it as watching the Ravens."
Even so, records show O'Malley generally invites fellow Democrats and their relatives and backers.
For instance, at the Nov. 20 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Mitchell and Clippinger were joined by Council President Young; first lady Katie O'Malley; David Dixon, an O'Malley campaign strategist; O'Malley's chief legislative officer, Joe Bryce; Teddy Downey, the stepson of Carol Browner, the former director of the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy; and Lonnie Robbins, the chief administrative officer for Howard County.
Mitchell said he took his daughter to the game, and she appreciated the opportunity to meet the governor. He remembers the game well because Katie O'Malley scolded him for spilling popcorn and not picking it up. But Mitchell was quick to divert the blame from himself, he said.
"I blamed it on Jack," Mitchell said, referring to Young.
Only one Republican lawmaker, Sen. Richard F. Colburn of the Eastern Shore, was a guest at a Ravens game last season. He declined to be interviewed.
"We work with him on issues with the Eastern Shore," Abbruzzese said. "It's proof it's bipartisan."
The Ravens tickets are in demand, with the governor's office receiving dozens of emails inquiring about getting them, documents show.
Once, when former Baltimore County Executive James T. Smith Jr. asked about getting access to a box for charity, he was rebuffed.
"Given the limited number of tickets and the high demand, we've only donated tickets for charity twice over the last four years," wrote Matthew Gallagher, O'Malley's chief of staff, in an April 6 email to Smith.
"The Steelers tickers are usually in particularly high demand given the number of O'Malley family members that make the trip down from Pennsylvania."
In responding to the public information request, the governor's office also included a list of attendees at O'Malley's box at Oriole Park at Camden Yards — as well as a breakdown by category. O'Malley uses that box 37 percent of the time for nonprofits and charities; 36 percent of the time for government relations; and 22 percent of the time for state government uses, such as business outreach and staff appreciation, his office said. Three games were unused last season because of rainouts or time changes.
O'Malley hosted business leaders on Opening Day, Katie O'Malley used the box once and Plaxen's law firm used the box on two occasions. Plaxen says his firm auctioned off the tickets for charity.
The governor invited representatives of the HBO show "Game Change," which was filming in Baltimore, to the April 24 game against the Yankees, and rewarded his staff with tickets to an April game against Boston.
The South Baltimore Learning Center got to see the Royals in May; Healthcare for the Homeless was invited to a Blue Jays game in June.
Abbruzzese said O'Malley has never asked a lawmaker to return a ticket.
"We've never done that, but I'm sure there's something you could do to get you uninvited," he said. "It's to establish personal relationships. It's not a heavy-handed approach."
Mitchell said he has never been asked to return tickets — even when he opposed then-Mayor O'Malley on the budget and financing for the Hilton hotel.
"I was one of the few that voted against the budget on the City Council and I was able to go to a baseball game and didn't get stuck in left field," Mitchell said. "I voted against the hotel and got invited to the Ravens game. There's never been a quid pro quo. Absolutely not."
Gov. Martin O'Malley's guests in the state's private skybox at Ravens games this past season included key politicians, campaign donors, and the family and friends of government officials, records show.

Tenn. Residents Express Their Frustration With Faith Attacks
Sumner County residents expressed their outrage over repeated attacks on their Christian faith at a town hall meeting in Tennessee and on Facebook.
Monday night, more than 1,200 parents, students and community members gathered in the gym of the Volunteer State Community College to express their anger over what has escalated into continued limitations of community members' religious rights.
Town hall attendees waved signs that read, "Evil thrives when good men and women do nothing" and "ACLU – Your freedom of religion is violating ours."
One by one, residents approached the microphone to proclaim their strong belief that they have the right to pray and express their religious beliefs publicly.
One woman announced, "I don't care if they take me to jail!" as the crowd cheered and shouted "Amen!" Another man told the crowd, "God is watching what we do in Sumner County."
The meeting was held after the Sumner County school board forbade teachers and administrators from bowing their heads to pray in the presence of students.
Prior to the board's decision, Westmoreland Principal Danny Kay Robinson admonished four football coaches for bowing their heads during a student-led prayer. The coaches did not pray aloud, but Robinson complained that their actions gave the appearance that the school endorses prayer. The coaches were required to sign letters acknowledging the school's policy on religious displays and conduct. Robinson also stated that failure to follow the policy would lead to termination.
The county is also being sued by the American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee. The ACLU of Tennessee charged that county's school system showed a pattern of religious activity including teacher-led prayer and Bible study sessions for students, religious music performed at school events and opening prayers at school board meetings that violate the U.S. Constitution's establishment clause.
"Public schools should seek to create an environment conducive to learning by all students and not act as vehicles proselytizing for religious or anti-religious beliefs," said Tricia Herzfeld, ACLU of Tennessee Legal director.
A frustrated audience member responded to incidents Monday saying, "We're getting tired of it."
The frustration has even spilled onto the social networking site Facebook. The page "Stop the ACLU attack on Sumner County Schools" has 1,527 supporters as of Tuesday.
The American Center for Law and Justice is representing the county board of education in court against the ACLU of Tennessee.
ACLJ Senior Counsel David French told the crowd Monday he sympathized with their anger but warned that school faculty must walk a fine line in the expression of their faith. School principals, teachers and administrators are essentially school employees and thus have to right pray during their off time, but they cannot give students the appearance of endorsing faith, French explained.
Students, however, as private citizens are entitled to hold student-led prayer and Bible groups. French urged school officials to protect this right.
"It is the obligation of the school to protect those student rights," French said. "Student speech has protection under the law so long as it isn't school-sponsored speech."
Still, audience members were not comforted by the words offered. Lee Bailey commented to the Tennessee Religious Freedom Fund, "I've been most disappointed in the advice ... offered by the ACLJ."
Bailey continued, "Our school board has bowed to the wishes of the ACLU and so far, we've seen our county coaches brow-beaten and forced into signing pledges to not even bow their heads when others are praying. In other words, they can no longer even show decent respect when others pray. This is a travesty and we in Sumner County who count ourselves as Christians must take a stand or [we] stand in danger of losing all our rights as Christians."
Sumner County resident Shaynee Turner is planning a pregame community prayer rally Thursday.

From "The World Needs More Gwyneth Paltrow"
by Jonathan Naymark, laineygossip.com, May 3, 2013
The past few weeks have been busy for America's most contentious celebrity: Gwyneth Paltrow. PEOPLE Magazine named her the world's most beautiful woman, while readers of Star Magazine voted her as its most hated. Certainly the two aren't mutually exclusive but they do speak to Paltrow's divisiveness as a public figure. If anything, it seems sad that IN TOUCH readers decided that Paltrow was more reprehensible than Chris Brown, a man who violently beat the sh-t out of girlfriend Rihanna, as well as Jesse James, the jerk who cheated on America's sweetheart, Sandra Bullock. Unlike either of these two misogynistic assholes, what has Gwyneth Paltrow done to any of us except wear a hideously coloured Pepto-Bismol pink dress to the Oscars? I ask you, who amongst men has never once been led astray by a personal relationship with Ralph Lauren?
But still, Gwyneth Paltrow gets a real bad rap – ironic, because Gwyneth Paltrow can actually rap. For proof of Paltrow's linguistic talents – there's a YouTube of her breaking into an impromptu, profanity laced version of the classic NWA song Straight Outta Compton. Not that it has helped her street cred – gossip columnist Ted Casablanca infamously nicknamed her Fishsticks Paltrow for being incredibly cold, much too thin and overly white-breaded.
I've never quite understood the exact reason why hating Gwyneth Paltrow and her lifestyle newsletter GOOP has become a veritable side industry for bloggers and the media at large.
At its core I suspect that most people hate Gwyneth because she continues to stay unapologetically unapproachable even as she attempts to sell herself as a lifestyle guru. Watching her easily maneuver from a conversation about NWA to conversant Spanish isn't something that most aspire to – it just seems widely out of reach.
I do understand the confusion of her persona – on one hand Gwyneth self identifies as "just like us", saying, "I'm just a normal mother with the same struggles as any other mother who's trying to do everything at once and trying to be a wife and maintain a relationship", and yet on the other hand, she knows that she truly isn't a middle American suburbanite with a Target Red card: "I am who I am. I can't pretend to be somebody who makes $25,000 a year."
Gwyneth taketh, but Gwyneth also giveth.
While Hollywood often fetishizes the girl next door, Paltrow, Steven Speilberg's god-child and the daughter of director Bruce Paltrow and actress Blythe Danner, is the girl next door only if you happen to have grown up in a seaside Santa Monica mansion. With her multilingual talents, backyard pizza oven and best-friendships with Beyonce and Jay-Z, it's as difficult to like Paltrow as it was to like the really nice, popular, rich girl you went to high school with – the one who invited you to sushi lunch just so she could lecture you the difference between sushi grade tuna and how her father took her to Japan in grade five. And yet as much as that girl was insufferable, you desperately wanted her attention.
Therefore the common problem of hating Gwyneth Paltrow, GOOP, or her two cookbooks, all of which are filled with photos of her cherubic and cloyingly named children (Apple and Moses), is that such mockery misses the point.
First of all, Gwyneth is impervious to your criticism. As you sit and stew about how obnoxious she is, Paltrow is happily serving organic spelt pizza, made in the aforementioned backyard wood-fired oven, to Jamie Oliver on a random Tuesday night while sipping Chablis that her friend, a Spanish sommelier, picked out specifically for her.
Secondly if you've taken the time to add up how much her spring wardrobe essentials cost ($450,000 as eNews did), you are not, nor will you ever be in Gwyneth Paltrow's league. When F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote that, "[The rich] are very different than you and me," his reference point was old monied elites who didn't question why their shirts were always monogrammed.Being out of touch is Gwyneth's resting position. She can't help it – she was born that way.
As G herself said, upon the launch of GOOP: "I have this incredible, blessed, sometimes difficult, very lucky, very unique life, and I've gotten to travel all over the place and to work and live in different cities. … So I started accruing all of this information to share it." If anything, Gwyneth, and her bible GOOP are really just modern day versions of Christian moral uplift, or the 21st century digital version of how upper class women viewed charity in the early 20th century. Moral uplift and charity were typically how the elites provided guidance to the unwashed mashes. Like the temperance movement and other progressive causes, taken up by wealthy, white women in the early years of the 20th century, which exported values masquerading as charity, GOOP is simply a similar form of charitable uplift. Just as Andrew Carnegie built libraries as a way of disseminating education, Paltrow is sending e-newsletters helping us nourish our inner aspect. While Upton Sinclair fought for proper meat packaging, Gwyneth is helping us pick out French skin-care solutions and spreading her "proper" values one shake of fleur de sel at a time.
Certainly, this may mean that Paltrow is annoying; however, hating Gwyneth Paltrow is risky business. In reality, such criticisms misunderstand the very fundamentals of celebrity culture. Before the era of reality TV stars, before Snooki and even before Jessica Alba started hocking natural diapers on the Internet, celebrities, by definition, were otherworldly in their existence. And while many may find her hard to handle, Gwyneth Paltrow is a celebrity in the truest sense of the word. In fact, Paltrow may be the last celebrity in an era which is actively redefining just what celebrity means.
The proliferation of magazines like US Weekly and websites like Perez Hilton have worked to bring celebrities "closer" to the public. Combined with the feeding frenzy of the paparazzo, celebrities can no longer control their brand image. The constant need for content to feed social media, bloggers and old school media alike has slowly encroached on the dividing wall that once existed between a celebrity and their audience. Whereas once celebrities lived on a hill perched high above their adoring fans, celebrities today have become "just like us", spotted in tracksuits pumping gas.
This desire to know infinitely more about the private lives of celebrities, coupled with the media's fulfillment of these needs, has broken the essential tenet of what a celebrity once was. By having to continuously expose their lives in order to feed the fan (and therefore continue their own manifestation of celebrity) we have broken the illusion of celebrity.
The rise, if not the creation of contemporary celebrity culture, has much to do with the history of Hollywood itself. The original Hollywood studio system that rose to prominence in the 1920s and 1930s was the product of Jewish immigrants who were quick to become the business minds of early Hollywood. Of the 8 major studios, 6 were founded by Jewish immigrants from Germany and Eastern Europe. Their contribution to the Hollywood aesthete was driven by business sense, creating films that reflected American values, but also their desire to divorce themselves from their religious and cultural past. As contemporary North American society has secularized itself from its puritanical forbearers –filmmakers (with the exception of wack-jobs like John Travolta and Kurt Cameron) followed suit; replacing the emotional and spiritual mores of religion with celebrity culture.
In Hollywood the cult of celebrity replaced the yoke of religion.
The concept of celebrity isn't entirely foreign to civil society. Before mass media celebrities existed, religious figures or monarchy were themselves pseudo-celebrities. Ironically both maintained power and standing by connection to religiosity. The divine right of king sustained the monarchy, while priests were famous simply because of their connection to God. Throughout its history, fame has been seemingly predicated by the very fact that "celebrities" were almost otherworldly.
However, the last decade has not been kind to this definition of celebrity and fame. The loss of control of the studio system coupled with the demands of modern media has meant that the celebrity is under siege. The illusion of celebrities to appear perfect no longer exists.
It is this illusion that Gwyneth is peddling via GOOP. What incenses the general public about Gwyneth Paltrow is exactly the reason that she is a celebrity – your life is not her life. Your spring wardrobe will not cost what hers did. But, most importantly, nor should it. Modern celebrities, like kings and high priests before them, are (or were) celebrities because they are somewhat unachievable. If we continue to break this one true rule of celebrity, we risk the destruction of the very fundamentals of celebrity culture.

The Fourth Eothinon (Morning Orthros Gospel Reading) Sermon delivered February 21, 2010
Three weeks ago we began our series on the Eleven Eothina (plural), also known as the Morning Orthros Gospel Readings. If you remember, 'Morning' and 'Orthros' are bit redundant because 'Orthros' (English 'Matins') is the Sunrise Worship Service in the Orthodox Christian liturgical day. The Eleven gospel readings occur in succession, one each Sunday, through a series of eleven weeks and then the cycle starts over again. All eleven are accounts of Jesus after He had risen from the dead. This makes sense because Sunday is the day of Resurrection in Orthodoxy.
The first Eothinon (singular) is Matthew 28:16-20. The second, is Mark 16:1-8. The third, which we covered last Sunday, is Mark 16:9-20. Last week we emphasized the importance of the faithfulness of the women disciples and how they were rewarded by being the first witnesses to Christ's resurrection. We also emphasized the importance of sharing our experience of the risen Christ and believing other people's witness of the resurrected Lord Jesus.
Finally, we emphasized the point that we do not have to be perfect in order to try to fulfill the commandments of God. He knows that we are sinful and imperfect. What is essential is for us to be aware of and acknowledge through confession our sinfulness and desire to be forgiven. Then God will forgive us and inspire us to fulfill His calling for our life.
This brings us to today's Morning Orthros Gospel Reading, the Fourth Eothinon which is Luke 24:1-12. This is the only time this passage is read liturgically throughout the year. So, our opportunity to hear it in the church worship services only occurs about four times per year and that's only if we come to the Orthros service. Remember, this is one of the reasons we have this sermon series on the Eleven Eothina—to raise our awareness about these little known scriptural passages.
Let me reread the passage now and please listen carefully.
Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, saying, 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.'" And they remembered His words.
Then they returned from the tomb and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, who told these things to the apostles. And their words seemed to them like idle tales, and they did not believe them. But Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying by themselves; and he departed, marveling to himself at what had happened.
We already said that "the first day of the week" (v.1) is Sunday — Kyriake —The Lord's Day, the day of Resurrection. "Very early in the morning" (v.1) is meaningful for us because it is one of the ways the women disciples exemplify faithfulness to Christ. The show us that we should rise early every Sunday morning to come to the church ready to anoint the body of Jesus with our tears and prayers. The church temple is for us the empty tomb where we celebrate the resurrection of Christ. How is this represented to us?
I, with a few other parishioners, attended yesterday the retreat led by Mother Macrina at our sister parish of St. Mary Greek Orthodox Church in Minneapolis. Interestingly, one of her talks focused on the Myrrhbearing Women and how their experience is symbolized to us in the architecture and liturgical services of Orthodoxy. We hear in the Second Eothinon that the women came to tomb, found the stone rolled away, "And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed" (Mk.16:5). Mother Macrina reminded us that the Sunday Orthros Gospel is read by the priest, who is dressed in a white robe, at the right side of the altar behind the open Holy Gate.
Can we see the symbolism? The priest represents the angel sitting on the right side of the tomb, proclaiming to us that Christ is Risen from the dead. On Great and Holy Pascha, at the beginning of the Resurrection Service, the priest processes forth as the Holy Gate opens singing "Deute labete phos — Come receive the Light" Then, a few minutes later, we are singing, "Christ is Risen from the Dead " So, that's why it's essential for us to attend retreats and seminars in order to learn the deep, rich meaning of our Faith. Even me, the priest, needs to learn and be reminded of these things.
This importance of remembrance is emphasized again in one of the verses that follow in today's eothinon. "Two men stood by them in shining garments" (Lk.24:4). These are the angels and notice how an Orthodox Christian priest wears shining garments for vestments. The angels tell the women that Christ is not here at the tomb but is risen (v.6). Then, to dispel any doubt the women may have about the resurrection, the angels say, "Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, 7saying, 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.' (vv.6-7). In other words, "He already told you that He was going to be resurrected, remember?"
This is the Church's role, the role of the priest, to remind us over and over again of what Jesus Christ said. We may say, "Every year I hear the same gospel reading, the same sermon, and the same guidelines for Great Lent. Over and over again, I hear the same stuff. I know it already." Well, yes, we may already have heard it and know it but we also may have forgotten it. More importantly, if we are truly seeking to learn and to grow in our relationship with Christ, then we may hear the exact same gospel or epistle and understand a deeper meaning. We may hear the exact same sermon but pick up a different point to try to apply in our life. We may hear the same guidelines for Lent but be more determined to actually fulfill them in more meaningful way. Amen!

Monthly letter to campus from President Schulz
Dear Faculty and Staff,
Greetings again from Anderson Hall! I hope all of you are having a productive summer, and that you can find the opportunity to spend some relaxing time with family and friends.
As we continue to work toward a formalized launch of K-State 2025 and our initiatives to become a Top 50 public research university, we have had significant dialog with the campus community. One of the items which comes up frequently is campus infrastructure and deferred maintenance issues.
Over the past two years, we have made some significant progress on a variety of infrastructure issues on campus. Some of these projects are relatively small, and some much more substantive - but in my mind it is like trying to eat an elephant - you have to do it one bite at a time!
I asked Bruce Shubert, vice president for administration and finance, and Ken Stafford, chief information officer and vice provost for information technology, to share with me some highlights of infrastructure progress that we have made in the past 24 months. The good news is that the lists are both long - much too long for a monthly letter. So I have taken a few key items to share which illustrate the progress we are making on improving the spaces we work in on campus.
We continue to upgrade our wireless computing infrastructure, with a short-term goal of seamless wireless connectivity anywhere on campus. Recently, wireless network upgrades and additions have been completed in Waters Hall, Ahearn Fieldhouse, Call Hall, Fairchild Hall, Eisenhower Hall, the Student Union and Kedzie Hall. These upgrades bring us to 1,545 wireless access points on campus, with 232 new access points added in the last 12 months.
While wireless connectivity is important, several of our historic buildings have needed wiring upgrades. Wiring upgrades have taken place in Fairchild Hall, Eisenhower Hall and Hale Library. Cardwell Hall has needed substantive wiring upgrades for some time, and is due to be rewired later this year.
Many of you use new technology when teaching classes, and it is important that our classroom spaces are designed to help you use technology in a seamless fashion. This summer, Umberger 105 is undergoing extensive renovation, and will have the latest in instructional technology tools. We also are planning to add additional instructional technology tools to 50 more classrooms over the next two years.
In addition to technology and computing infrastructure upgrades, we have also made significant progress in updates to our buildings. Funding for much of this has come from energy savings, federal stimulus funds and state of Kansas deferred maintenance funds.
It has been hard to miss the roofers on campus, and roofs have been replaced or are in the process of being replaced, for Calvin Hall, Seaton Hall, Weber Hall, Mosier Hall, Waters Hall, Call Hall, Hale Library, the Beach Museum, academic portions of Ahearn, McCain, the Dairy Barn, Cardwell Hall and portions of Myers Hall.
The limestone on our buildings is a key signature of our campus, and several buildings have had repairs made to the stone work and building exterior including Nichols Hall, the Engineering Complex and Myers Hall.
If you have walked around on campus over the last several months, you may have noticed that most of our campus streets, sidewalks and curbs also have been updated.
While not nearly as visible, the campus electrical distribution system has been completely upgraded to a 12.5 kVA loop system. Additionally, we updated the steam distribution system to include the replacement of one of our main campus steam lines.
We continue to install infrastructure which will help Kansas State to become more energy efficient. This includes a state-of-the-art utility control system, replacement of exterior lights with more energy efficient lighting solutions, upgrades to our central chiller system and optimization of steam generation capabilities. These things are not immediately apparent when walking or driving through campus, but will result in increased savings over the next several years.
In addition to projects which are focused on our current buildings, we also have several new construction projects underway. While I know that construction projects can be disruptive to campus traffic flow, I feel they lend a sense of vibrancy to a campus. Present projects include the addition of a new wing on Justin Hall, the basketball training facility adjacent to Bramlage, new restroom facilities in Bill Snyder Family Stadium, the new sheep and goat facility, and expansion of the Peters Recreation Complex. New off-campus projects include a new Southeast Kansas Research and Extension facility and the K-State Olathe campus.
Projects which should start this fall include a new feed mill research and teaching facility in the Grain Science Complex, a new Purple Masque theater in West Memorial Stadium, and initiation of the next renovation phase of the Jardine Student Complex. Funding for these new construction projects comes through privately raised funds, student supported bond funds and NBAF relocation funds.
Do we still have many infrastructure needs on our campus? Absolutely. However, to use my earlier analogy, we are taking some large bites out of our elephant. I appreciate the hard work our staff does in facilities and IT to help make our campus a better place to teach and perform research. Next time you see one of these members of the K-State family, take a minute and thank them for their hard work.
Go Cats!

The Impact of Remittances on Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction
Besides monetary gains, remittances are associated with greater human development outcomes across a number of areas such as health, education, and gender equality. There are also positive spillover effects, with some of the expenditures and investments made by remittance-receiving households accruing to entire communities. Remittances are the most tangible and least controversial link between migration and development. In this brief, author Dilip Ratha argues that much more can be done by policymakers to maximize the positive impact of remittances by making them less costly and more productive for both the individual and the country of origin.
Beyond reducing costs, measures to ensure that the recipients of these funds have access to other financial services would go a long way to boosting development outcomes. The technology for linking remittances directly to such services exists, but practice has fallen behind because of public policy barriers. Policymakers can put in place sufficient incentives and mechanisms for migrants and their families to invest remittances in capital-accumulation projects that benefit the whole economy.

Fashion takes to the Denver runways — at an airport, historic building, hotel
Coloardo's fall fashion and benefit season is off to a stylish start and the action is far from over. Here are some highlights.
More than 1,500 people descended on Centennial Airport Friday night for the Flight to Luxury party to benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver. Presented once again by Cuvee Escapes, the high-end travel company, the gala filled two private hangars. Early in the evening, the XJet space held not only a jet, but tables filled with silent auction offerings, lounge areas, cocktail and wine bars and hip-hop violinist Maestro Jeffrey Hughes performing.
The stylish crowd — lots of ladies in cocktail dresses and high heels, and guys in sport coats — also milled around outside, where there were more jets, a row of Ferraris, stilt walkers and tables with cooking stations and grills at which such restaurants as The Kitchen and Root Down offered tasty bits.

For those who don't know who Noctua is, they are an Austrian base company that makes high quality, nearly silent CPU coolers. About the only way to get quieter is to run passive cooling. Now we first met Noctua and their then flagship cooler the NH-U12P two years ago. The NH-U12P beat everything we had then, and for some time after. So when Noctua said they had not only improved the performance, they also kept the cooler nearly silent, I was very eager to get my hands on one. Noctua was nice enough to send us their new flagship cooler for us to take a look at. I have spent the last several days testing the cooler and… well, before I get too far and put the cart before the horse, let's take a look at the specs for the new NH-D14.
The NH-D14 has a total of six heatpipes and dual radiators equipped with dual fans! With specifications like this it is no wonder that the Noctua NH-D14 CPU cooler is regarded as one of the premier CPU coolers on the market today, if not the best. This CPU cooler should easily be able to give entry level water cooling kits like the Corsair H50 a run for their money. Today we will be putting the NH-D14 to the test as we will be comparing it to the Corsair H50 water cooler, Titan Fenrir, Zalman 10x Extreme, Cooler Master V8 & V10 and nearly a dozen other top end CPU coolers that you might be considering for your next purchase.
When I picked up the box for the NH-D14 the first thing that ran through my head was, "it's massive!" Luckily, it's just big, and not massive.
Noctua has an interesting packing for the cooler. There is an outer hollow cardboard sleeve around an inner box that holds the cooler. Don't get me wrong, the NH-D14 is big, just not as massive as the box makes you think.

From time to time, we'll be talking to great Australian authors about their local history and what inspired them to start researching and writing their stories.
This week we talk to Gregory Blake, author of Eureka Stockade - A ferocious and bloody battle. Gregory Blake was born in Melbourne in 1955. Since a very early age, he has had a keen interest in military history and has written numerous articles on the subject, for publications in Australian, the UK and the US. Greg is a secondary school teacher and tutor at the Australian Defence Force Academy. Greg served with the Australian Army Reserve during the 1970s and 1980s. He is an accomplished artist and in addition to illustrations in this book, has contributed his talents to magazines and instructional texts both in Australia and overseas.

IHM. Q. What inspired you to start researching and writing?
IHM. Q. What inspired you to start researching and writing?
- Greg: There are so many stories in Australia's history that have remained undiscovered or remembered only as a collection of myths, legends and fallacies. One of these is the story of the Eureka stockade. I have always admired how similar stories to the Eureka Stockade have been portrayed in other national histories and around 2004 I stumbled across a little book that had within it a collection of firsthand accounts of what occurred at Eureka. I am a keen student of military history, especially that of the mid C19th. With this knowledge I began reading these accounts of Eureka and the penny dropped and I realised that there was a great deal about this conflict that we simply did not know. This excited me and so I began digging. Four years and a mountain of research later I had uncovered an amazing story which, unlike many of the commonly accepted stories, was based on hard evidence and logical informed deduction. This story bore little resemblance to the collection of myths and misunderstandings that have characterised the Eureka story for generations and it was a story that needed to be told.
- Favourite website? Greg: The Public Records Office Victoria and TROVE.
- Favourite library? Greg: Without doubt the State Library of Victoria although others such as the St Ives Library at Sovereign Hill, the Mechanics Institute in Ballarat, the Supreme Court of Victoria library to mention only a few are excellent resources.
- Greg: The transcripts of the State Treason Trials for the accused Eureka diggers held by the Supreme Court of Victoria are a treasure trove of material for primary source material related to the military aspects of Eureka. I believe I am the first to have made use of this resource for the military information contained within it.
- Greg: No one thing but more of an overall realisation that so many ordinary men were willing to take up arms, risk their lives and all they had to defend an ideal of personal independence and liberty they held precious. It made me wonder how many would do the same these days if faced with the same circumstances as the Eureka diggers.
- Greg: The sheer pomposity and arrogance of the colonial ruling classes and their utter unwillingness to accept that their world had changed.
- Greg: The pre Eureka story of James McGill the leader of the Independent Californian Rangers Revolver Brigade. McGill was significant figure amongst the Eureka diggers at the Stockade and while his post Eureka story is well enough known but his pre Eureka story is a mystery.
- Greg: Be passionate about your topic, have a firm goal in mind to guide the direction your research takes, keep an open mind and follow leads that you may not have anticipated, have the patience to keep searching, be absolutely meticulous with your records, cite everything you use – so many 'history' books fail to do this.

- Greg: The characters really did this for themselves. These were passionate and colourful people living in a passionate and colourful time and all one needed to do was to tell their stories.
- Greg: Good reviews are nice. Pats on the back are nice as well. The best thing though is to know you have done the best you can, to have covered all the bases and presented an account that is readable and informed.

"Eureka Stockade: A ferocious and bloody battle, is the epic account of the attle for the Eureka Stockade, an iconic moment in Australian history. On the chilly dawn morning of 3 December 1854 British soldiers and police of the Victorian colonial government attacked and stormed a crudely-built fortification erected by insurgent gold miners at the Eureka lead on the Ballarat Gold Diggings. The fighting was intense, the carnage appalling and the political consequences of the affair profound. This book, for the first time, examines in great detail the actual military events that unfolded during the twenty minutes of deadly fighting at Eureka. Many of the old assumptions about what occurred that day are turned on the heads, raising in their places provocative questions. Were the intentions of the Eureka diggers as pacific as tradition insists? How was it that men supposedly poorly armed and taken completely by surprise in their sleep were able to deliver 'sharp and well directed' fire on their attackers? How close, in fact did the assaulting infantry come to failing in their task, and why has the pivotal part played by the police in the battle been ignored in every retelling of the Eureka story? Why have the Americans, who played a decisive part in the defence of the stockade been all but ignored? The author argues convincingly that Eureka was not a wanton massacre of innocents, as it has been portrayed. Rather it was a hard fought military engagement.
Eureka was a decisive moment in Australian history and in this book it comes alive in a rousing and original manner".

(April 18, 2016) - The New York Red Bulls and National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) have agreed to a multiyear partnership renewal, the club announced today. Through this partnership, the Red Bulls are designated as the exclusive and sole provider of regional NSCAA Coaching Academy courses throughout New York and New Jersey. "Coaching education is a key component of the extensive Red Bulls youth development systems," said Dave Jervis, Senior Director of Training Programs. "By offering a range of easily accessible course locations, we are able to help educate and impact local grassroots coaches in youth soccer communities throughout New York and New Jersey." "Over the past five years, the NSCAA has been a key partner in helping us realize our mission of developing, engaging and inspiring the soccer community." The initial agreement between these two organizations was announced in June 2012, when the Red Bulls academy became an official partner to operate NSCAA courses. The partnership expanded in December 2013, adding a marketing and services aspect to the partnership, allowing both the NSCAA and the Red Bulls to strengthen their promotional reach. Both organizations collectively support coaches at the grassroots level through a variety of NSCAA Level 1-6 courses, as well as Special Topics Diploma courses. These courses are scheduled at Red Bull Arena and utilize the New York Red Bulls professional team as an educational platform for local youth coaches. This agreement renewal also provides Red Bulls youth partner clubs and course participants with additional educational, club support services and benefits that are available through the NSCAA. "The NSCAA's collaboration with the New York Red Bulls is a great representation of the Association's goal of educating coaches and serving the greater soccer community," NSCAA CEO Lynn Berling-Manuel noted. "We look forward to continuing this partnership and interacting with coaches in the New York/New Jersey area and beyond." Both organizations have worked together to operate hundreds of courses in the local area, educating and certifying thousands of youth soccer coaches. In the coming year, the Red Bulls plan to host a variety of coaching courses at more than 50 locations.

Three new Lay's potato chip flavors will hit grocery stores next week.
Only one will prevail and be added as a new chip flavor to Lay's product line.
Frito-Lay launched a promotional campaign titled "Do Us a Flavor," in which consumers nominated various flavors.
A panel of food experts waded through 3.8 million submissions and culled a list of 20, that's now been winnowed down to 3: Sriracha, Chicken & Waffles and Garlic Cheesy Bread.
The new flavors are expected to be in stores Tuesday, and fans will be able to vote for their favorite one through Twitter, text message and Lay's Facebook page.
The person who submitted the winning flavor will win $1 million or 1% of the chip's 2013 sales, whichever is more, the company said.
The interactive contest follows a similar move by Hasbro Inc. to replace certain Monopoly game pieces after fans voted. A cat token will now replace the game board's iron statuette.

Is that a release candidate I see? 4.2 and Me….and you….and him….and that guy over there.
When Blizz announced that there was no new raid in 4.1 I was under the impression that major feral changes would happen there and 4.2 would just be a new tier of raiding. No big changes for any classes. I was wrong and am I glad. Unlike previous patches where we had to sift through all the "OMG! The sky is falling, all druids will quit the game" complaining to find real numbers to crunch there is a general feeling of hopeful anticipation in the feral ranks. Now that a release has hit the PTR it is time to round it all up and present it to you.
Plate wearing Tanks
- Death knights, paladins, and warriors no longer receive any bonus to their chance to dodge from Agility. Their base chance to dodge is now a fixed 5%.
This is not a druid change but several people have gotten confused by others stating "tanks" won't get dodge from AGI. We keep our dodge benefit from AGI. This will keep the other tanks from taking our necks and rings to get more avoidance stats.
All Druids
- All class abilities which place a buff on friendly targets no longer generate any threat. This goes for raid-wide buffs like Mark of the Wild and Power Word: Fortitude, as well as triggered effects such as Blessed Resilience or Fingers of Frost, and single-target buffs like Dark Intent and Hysteria. The exception is buffs which directly cause healing or damage, such as Thorns or Renew. Abilities such as these still generate normal threat.
Ummmm….I included this because it is a change to us. Not really important, but a change. I have never pulled a boss or aggro by throwning out Paws on someone, and now i guess i don't have to worry about it.
Crowd Control
- Many crowd control abilities no longer cause creatures to attack players when they are cast. The creature will not attack the player when the crowd control wears off, and nearby creatures will not become hostile to the player either. However, if a visible player gets too close to the target creature, the creature will remember and attack the player when the crowd control effect wears off. The intent is to make it easier for dungeon groups to manage crowd control assignments and pulling packs of hostile NPCs. The abilities affected by this change are: Hibernate, Entangling Roots, Wyvern Sting (will still cause hostility when it begins to deal damage), Freezing Trap, Polymorph, Repentance, Shackle Undead, Blind, Hex, Bind Elemental, Banish and Seduction.
Another small change that wont affect ferals running in established groups but will help pugs mainly:
Strength nerf
- Druids now gain 1 attack power per point of Strength, down from 2. They continue to gain 2 attack power per point of Agility while in Cat Form or Bear Form.
When this was first announced it was a "Sky is falling" topic. We discussed this over and over. It is a nerf BUT……it isn't a big deal by any means. With all the other changes you won't notice. This, I believe, is the counter to plate wearing tanks not getting dodge from AGI. We now won't grab their strength items and they will keep their grubby hands off of our AGI items.
PVP nerf
- Entangling Roots and the equivalent spell triggered by Nature's Grasp no longer deal damage.
I say PVP nerf simply because if you need,depending on the damage caused by Entangling Root in PVE, you are in more trouble than this could ever provide help for. Really, no one depends on the damage from this.
- Innervate now grants an ally target 5% of his or her maximum mana over 10 seconds, but still grants 20% of the druid's maximum mana over 10 seconds when self-cast.
Make no mistake, this is a buff and will scale to be even better. It is a minimal buff right now, but raid-geared healers have 5 to 6 times more mana then we do. Crunching rounded numbers from 372ilvl groups show this to be a 3K-5K buff in the amount of mana the healer will recieve. As we progress in 4.2 and beyond, healers will gain even larger pools of mana making this buff even better.
- Omen of Clarity clearcasting buff now lasts 15 seconds, up from 8 seconds.
This can help in very limited capacities but really, you should be popping your ability on proc. An example of this helping is on the twin dragons fight. Valiona begins to take off and you refresh your last DOT but 1 more auto-attack goes off and procs OOC. Valiona is now out of range to use this and Theralion is not yet in range. A couple of extra seconds to use your proc is very nice here.
- Ferocious Bite damage has been increased by 15%. In addition, its base cost has been reduced to 25 energy and it can use up to 25 energy, for up to a 100% damage increase.
A buff to FB! BUT……not enough. It is still not recomended to FB above 25% health on target until you get the new 4P bonus. We will talk about the tier gear later.
- Mangle (Cat) damage at level 80 and above has been increased to 540% weapon damage, up from 460%.
Direct damage buff. If you have the 4PT11 buff you will notice this right away. If not it won't affect you that much. On fights with alot of target switching requiring you to constently reapply Mangle debuff this will become noticable also.
- Ravage damage at level 80 and above has been increased to 950% weapon damage, up from 850%.
Direct damage buff but this makes me sad. This, coupled with the change to bosses allowing FC in melee range, makes me sad. Imagine the Chim fight with this buff, and no FC min range like it is right now. Since they are fixing the issue with no min range to FC bosses it is nice that they buffed this to still make it fun to run out and FC back in.
- Shred damage at level 80 and above has been increased to 540% weapon damage, up from 450%.
So what button do you push more then any other on a boss fight? Well guess what, that button just got hooked up to a bigger hammer:)
- Swipe (Cat) now deals 600% weapon damage at level 80 or higher, down from 670%.
I think we all saw this nerf coming. And so continues the yo-yo that is feral AOE DPS. On the plus side this isn't near the level of change our AOE has gotten nerfed in the past so we might be looking at a reasonable balance here. We still have no sustained AOE but out burst will be nice.
- Rake initial damage on hit now deals the same damage as each periodic tick (and is treated the same for all combat calculations). Periodic damage now gains 14.7% of attack power per tick, up from 12.6%, and base damage per tick has been lowered from 557 to 56. There is a known issue with Rake's tooltip being incorrect from this change will be corrected in a future patch
Oh……….My………….Gosh!!!! With all the direct damage buffs it felt as though we where shifting out of DoTing but this, my friends, is so nice. This along with swipe nerf has got me in math mode trying to figure out how to AoE again. More on that to come.
- Savage Roar now grants 80% increased damage to melee auto attacks, up from 50%.
SR was so weak after Cata drop. I am glad they did this.
From Blizz:
Bear damage abilities were scaling too fast with higher gear levels compared to other tanks, so the following balance changes have been made. All the numbers cited are for level 85 characters; numbers will be lower for lower-level characters.
- Faerie Fire (Feral) base damage has been raised to 2950, up from 679. Attack power scaling has been decreased to 10.8%, down from 15%.
- Maul base damage has been raised to 35, up from 8. Attack power scaling has been decreased to 19%, down from 26.4%.
- Pulverize weapon damage percent has been decreased to 60%, down from 80%. Damage per Lacerate application has been increased to 1623, up from 361.
- Mangle (Bear) weapon damage percent has been decreased to 190%, down from 260%. Bonus damage has been increased to 3306, down from 754.
- Swipe base damage has been increased to 929, up from 215. Attack power scaling has been decreased to 12.3%, down from 17.1%.
- Thrash initial base damage has been increased to 1042, up from 339. Initial damage attack power scaling has been decreased to 9.82%, down from 19.2%. Periodic base damage has been increased to 581, up from 189. Periodic damage attack power scaling has been decreased to 1.67%, down from 3.26%. In addition, a bug was corrected where armor decreased the periodic damage done by this ability.
- Lacerate initial base damage has been increased to 3608, up from 2089. Initial damage attack power scaling has been decreased to 5.52%, down from 7.66%. Periodic base damage has been increased to 69, up from 16. Periodic damage attack power scaling has been decreased too. 369%, down from 0.512%
All of these Bear changes will result in less bear DPS/Threat but you will be getting new and better gear soon.
- Natural Reaction damage reduction has been increased to 9/18%, up from 6/12%
Now that is a nice buff. What bear doesn't want to take less damage?
- Glyph of Berserk duration increase is now 10 seconds, up from 5.
The new 4P bonus coupled with this will make for some energy starved Beserks
- Glyph of Ferocious Bite has been redesigned. It now causes Ferocious Bite to heal the caster for 1% of maximum health for each 10 energy used.
So FB hits harder and costs less. With this glyph it will now heal a bit also. Could save your life.
- Glyph of Innervate now causes the druid to gain 10% of his or her maximum mana over 10 seconds when Innervate is used on a friendly target, in addition to Innervate's base effect.
I included this becouse of the changes to Innervate itself. DO NOT use this glyph.
Druid Bug Fixes
- It is no longer possible in some encounters to use Feral Charge when closer than its minimum range.
Well it was fun while it lasted but really this needed to happen. I don't like feeling like I must use a broken mechanic to play.
And now the biggest change of them all. I seriously need to embed a music file here with something truly epic. No not epic, LEDGENDARY!!!!!!!
Cats and Kettens I give you(pause for effect)
Honestly I couldn't care less what the stats are….but they are really good.
I also don't care what the staff looks like…..but it's really cool.
All I really care about is that it will make me look like this
And here is a nice video.
So how does it work? First the staff drops off of Fandral Staghelm. He is the next to last boss in Firelands. You might need to bribe/maim/beg/kill the hunters in your group as it is a good staff for them. Once you have the staff of course equip it. It works 2 ways. If you have the staff equipped, you will turn into FIRECAT whenever you enter combat. Otherwise, it has a 2 hour cooldown that lets you right click it and turn into FIRECAT anywhere you like. The effect of the use lasts until cancelled or you leave your current zone. Floofles reported on our forums that he macroed a cancel aura into ALL of his abilities and while raiding was able to make his cat go in and out of FIRECAT mode constantly during fights making what he called a "Disco Cat".
Well that wraps up 4.2, people. Of course, 4.2 hasn't gone live so there is still time for Blizz to make changes, but I like what they have done so far.
As always be sure to subscribe to the RSSfeed and use the forums. Are you on Twitter? I am, follow me @Sylvaneart. Feel free to PM me with any questions you might have, but the forums on this site are your best bet. This will help to answer one question one time instead of one question multiple times. This site is a posting spot for many great cats. If you are the noob with a noob question and are a little embarrassed then a PM will do fine. I will never ridicule you.

What courses/layouts will the open division be playing?
Will the Open division be playing Swope Gold or Blue Valley for Sunday's final round? From what I was reading, it sounded like Swope Gold was the final battleground. Was it set up this way because of Saturday's BBQ? Or does swope gold play a higher SSA than Blue Valley?

Sam Keith's greatest comic creation, The Maxx, which, as a series is as quotable as it is confusing, really found a home in the six episode cartoon mini-series on MTV back in the mid-ninties. While the animation was cut rate and often consisted of sliding one cell along another, the adaptation was nearly flawless and the voice acting incredible. And now he's taken one step higher up the ladder of pop cultural iconism by appearing in Bob 'N' Ed.
Now the Maxx stands alongside famous fictional characters like Fox Mulder, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Big Gay John Brandon. Kudoes to you, Al.

Electric Miata Assault & Battery kills the tires on the Dyno with 1,350 ft-lbs of TorqueAugust 20th, 2014
John from LoneStar EV Performance in Houston, TX put his Assault & Battery Electric Miata on the dyno for the first time to see just how powerful the 2000 amp Zilla controllers feeding dual NetGain 9-inch motors are. They initially had some trouble on the dyno since the instant torque of the electric motors caused the huge slicks to go up in smoke on the dyno rollers.
After a few tries of slowly rolling into the power they were able to get somewhat of a clean dyno run with the Miata putting down an astounding flat 1,350 ft-lbs of torque from 0 to 3,000 RPM in 2nd gear.
Check out the video below and also take a look at it's 9.1 @ 144 MPH 1/4 mile run done at Royal Purple Raceway last year.

Carrot Halwa Recipe – Diwali Sweets Recipes – Gajar Halwa
Mmmnnnhhh….. How I wished for a second spoon… second spoon of Warm, Yummy and 'Ghee'-ey Carrot Halwa. She said, 'Appa came, so mom made them this morning. <with pride> Is it good?… <in shock> ayoo… miss is coming…' … 'Tuppp'! She hurriedly closed her tiffin box tightly. I cursed, why the teachers always show punctually for their classes? Ch, if only my friend and I managed to sneak a minute before the assembly dispersed, I would have succeeded getting a second spoon of the Carrot Halwa from her tiffin box. While the fellow class mates were unloading their books and notebooks from their bag on to the desk I imagined myself to be INVISIBLE to the entire class just to load spoon after spoon with Carrot Halwa and unload them into my mouth. When the class crowd was obediently listening to the 'dissection of hibiscus flower', I was busy… Continue reading »
