Now i am lvl 84 atm and am wondering i see alot of post that says holy kills disc in healing pve. And am wondering if i should go holy from here on out or stay disc?
Now i am lvl 84 atm and am wondering i see alot of post that says holy kills disc in healing pve. And am wondering if i should go holy from here on out or stay disc?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with either healing spec, problem most people have with Disc is they do not know how to play it structured enough to be good at it.
Penance, PWS/Rapture, Grace, odd creatures in healing land they are and most of the time (sorry to say) not used properly.
Holy on the other hand I find much more forgiving....
They're both pretty close tbh. Some fights Disc will be better than Holy, although, Holy is generally better in 25 than Disc, since Disc only has Prayer of Healing for AoE heals, whereas Holy can also use Holy Word: Sanctuary and Circle of Healing.
I think holy is better in 'slow' fights. Where you have to heal a lot, but not much at once. Where you have a lot aoe dmg, but noone will die within 3 secs.
Imo Disc is better in fights with a lot of burst. When you know your raid is gonna slapped by a giant tentacle, just plant the AoE bubble. A Dragonbreath is coming? Just shield the Tank.
One thing I hate as a healer is, when I lose control "Omg they are all getting that much dmg, stupid smurf Fire-loving lemmings. I can't heal that much" <- this is gonna easier to handle as a disc I think. PI and PW:B are helping a lot in situations like this.
Since you are lvl 84 that means you go for 5-man dungeons, I'd play holy. Just throw PoM and 1-2 Renew and you can go afk for a while
I got the most exp in Wrath ICC with my priest, so what I say may not be 100% accurate.
Main -> Roadhog Fallback -> Ana McCree Learning -> Widowmaker D.VA
since both are viable you can pick whichever you like more and stick to it.
its not like at this point of the game you are running for worlds first. in 5mans, lfr and normal ds it really does not matter at all. i dare to say it doesnt matter much in ds hc either, however it is easier to progress on certain heroic fights with certain specs.

In many cases, there isn't much difference between the driver's MMIO code and the CPIO code. However, where there are differences, they might be exactly the type that requires docs. However, I do encourage you to look into this; I'll be quite interested to see what you find out, and if I can help with some general X server questions, I'd be happy to. I'm probably not of much use when it comes to atimisc driver internals, though. Thanks very much for looking into this. -- G.

I love this wedding. Like, love love love this wedding. I love that the bride infused every last rustic detail with a bit of spunk and style. I love that the boys are rocking suspenders. I love that it's kind of down home country meets oh so chic gorg. I love the heart adorned programs, the cuteness of the homemade cakes, the way the groom seems to make the gorgeous bride turn all glowy and smiley. And I especially love the guy with the beard who got snapped by photographer Austin Warnock a million times because well, he's just adds to the decor (sorry, boy with beard...I'm sure you are MUCH more than just something pretty to look at). See what I mean? I just really love this wedding. And the best part? There is so much more Austin Warnock goodness in the gallery.

From the Bride...It wasn't long after Jacob proposed to me last August that I began to look at wedding blogs and start to come up with a theme. My older sister had recently gotten married, and just like a baby sister would, I declared that mine would be the complete opposite of hers - a non-traditional wedding that was sort of rustic romantic meets country chic - or something like that.
From the beginning, my mom was completely hands-on, as I knew she would be. When I told her I wanted to have it at a barn, she found one within a week that was absolutely perfect. I truly owe the result of that day to her - every chandelier, picture frame, table runner, bunting and piece of furniture was touched by her. She was even sewing my garter and both dresses the morning of, which resulted in a near trip to the emergency room.
Everything about our day was a reflection of us and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. We wanted our guests to relax and have fun, which I think we succeeded in - even though I was the last one on the dance floor. But hey, why would the bride leave her own party early?

They raised money at 8% interest over 3 months. That alone is horrible. Now you suggest that a "normal" company would have had to sell 10% of the company to raise $1 million in secured debt? No, most normal companies would take out a $1 million working capital line of credit from their bank, backed by receivables and inventory, and paid 1.5% over 3 months and sold NO equity. Most normal companies actually HAVE a banking relationship. Most normal companies, after announcing a "$100 million international financing" as ECOB did a few weeks ago, would have tapped that financing. When does the SEC come calling over that alleged financing that was press released, but then seems to have gone missing? Most normal companies would not be fighting with the primary investor who put millions of dollars into the company, as MRL did. SmallCap and Bill and the rest of you ECOB apologists and insiders who troll around here: After saying seemingly forever that MRL was steadfastly supporting ECOB, care to explain what happened? Care to explain why Steve always seems to be in the middle of a legal fight, whether with Bluwood, or Megola, and now MRL? UGLY. Not much time left for this dog with fleas.

Lemonade Time!
So I have a cold, again. I used to be so healthy, but the other day I caught another nasty cold. I've had 3 in 3 months! I got one while in Beijing (with a fever and everything) and then another one just before New Years. I spent New Year's Eve at a friend's cabin, had a great time, but could barely talk. When I felt like saying something, which was approximately every 20 seconds, I had to think really hard to decide if I really needed to say it. It's a good exercise… most of the time I had to conclude that my clever quip could go un-said. I have less timeless wisdom than I thought! Anyways, it was fun, and in about 6 days I had pretty much kicked that cold to the curb. So, a few weeks ago, we went to Las Vegas, and California, and except for an occasional cough, I felt great. We got back to Alberta, and Darren and I took my niece and nephew to the waterpark at West Edmonton Mall, which was a hoot! We rode the waves in the pool and did some slides, too. I forgot how much fun those slides could be! 🙂 I swallowed a little water — got hit by a wave I wasn't ready for. Afterwards, we got drawn in to the candy store (if you know West Ed, you know the one) and bought some Jelly Belly jelly beans. They are my favourite! We started munching them immediately — we were so hungry from all the swimming! — and I kept munching them on and off until bed time. I know, not good for me, but they are so flavourful! Fake, artificial flavours, I know, but anyways…
The next day, I woke up with a nasty head-stuffing cold! Man! Initially, I blamed the swimming, and germs from snotty-nosed kids in the pool. Well, I'm the snotty-nosed one now, and I actually want to blame the jelly beans! But, if they are to blame, then I must have been pretty low-immune system/toxic already. Isn't it amazing how "toxic" we feel when we're sick?
Darren and I stopped at an organic grocery store and while there, he found a booklet on "The Master Cleanser" by Stanley Burroughs. Besides describing how the combination of lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne makes a good cleanse, Burroughs talks about germs and viruses in a completely different way. He says that they are always present in our bodies and we should be grateful for them because they help us clear toxins from our bodies (he talks a lot about toxins), such as when we get a cold and our body produces a great deal of mucous to get rid of toxins. Interesting idea… I don't know if it's entirely true, but it's something to think about! This line of thinking helped me be less resentful of the cold, seeing it more as my friend, and made me think about the timing of my last 3 colds — after being in Beijing, eating all sots of strange food (not always fresh, food with lots of sauces), after Christmas (which involved a few sweets and goodies, and although I didn't majorly pig out, it's more food colouring and sugar than I'm used to), and after Las Vegas. What do you think? Any chance it's related to toxins… and more than a co-incidence?
And then there's a whole other idea: that disease is caused by disharmony in our spirits. Now, I've meditated and thought about this, and I'm afraid to say that my colds might be related to unkind words. I admit that around those times I may have said some unkind words to Darren — not in arguments exactly, just bits of sarcasm or, well, unkindness. So, while I am doing this cleanse to help my body clean out toxins, I am also going to clean out the last bits of sarcasm, sharpness, or even wittiness that isn't completely innocent and building others up. I think this will have a wonderful, positive effect on my spirit, much moreso than any dietary change! Think about it — beautiful, uplifting words to make a perfect, healthy throat and lungs. Makes sense to me!
For now, I'm finishing day 2 of the master cleanse, and day 1 of my kind-words-only policy. I'll keep you posted on how I'm feeling!
In other news, progress continues of my book. The artist, Biliana Savova is working hard on the illustrations, which should be complete next week! This is all so exciting! I am going to be approaching a few people to read it and provide an endorsement for the back cover — a nice little quote on the back to say how great my book is! I need to work on the website… I'll let you know when it's ready so you can all go run and check it out! Take care everybody!

School foundation seeks donations
The Gothenburg Public Schools foundation awards about $6,500 annually for students going to college.
Raising scholarship money is the primary function of the foundation, according to foundation chair Nate Wyatt.Right now, Wyatt said, the resources are limited.
"We're trying to get money put together to have a bigger impact on the school," he said
To donate, money can be brought to his office at Gothenburg State Bank or to the counselor's office in the high school.
If people want to develop a scholarship, or administer an already existing scholarship, they can do that through Gothenburg State Bank, he said.
While most donations are unrestricted, allowing the money to be given for scholarships, there are amounts that are left to the foundation for specific scholarships or projects.
But scholarships are not the only reason to donate.
The money is also used for Gothenburg Public School improvements.
In years past, the foundation has received donations to upgrade the high school's track and its surface and had land donated south of the baseball field for use during school or community activities.
More recently, Wyatt said, foundation money has provided benches inside and outside the school and a flag pole outside of Dudley Elementary.
"We also try and set up resources for projects the school hasn't budgeted for," Wyatt said.
These additions and improvements to Gothenburg Public Schools have been chosen by the foundation board, which is 100% volunteer, Wyatt said.
"Anything donated is being put back into the good of the school," Wyatt said. "There is no overhead, or drag by the members. It's all volunteer."
He added that it's fun to be a part of the foundation board because each member has the best interest of the school and the community in mind.
"It's exciting to try and grow our resources for a good cause," Wyatt said.

Is Real Madrid Striker Karim Benzema the Right Transfer Move for Arsenal?October 15, 2013
The Metro, among others, have linked Karim Benzema to the possibility of a January transfer move to Arsenal.
The Gunners are in need of bodies in the striking department with Olivier Giroud the only senior, reliable presence there, and should the former Montpellier man go down, a fantastic start to the season could tail off rather quickly.
Arsene Wenger spent much of the summer courting Luis Suarez, as per the BBC, but eventually came up short for the Uruguayan's signature and was forced to go back to the drawing board.
In the end no strikers were secured, leaving Wenger with just Nicklas "I'll never play for Arsenal again" Bendtner and the inexperienced, injury-prone Yaya Sanogo.
If Arsenal wish to maintain this fantastic form and ride out congestion in the fixture list in 2014, January presents a window of opportunity Wenger cannot miss.
Benzema has started the 2013-'14 season well in the wake of Gonzalo Higuain's sale to Napoli, bagging four goals and four assists from 10 starts so far, and on paper provides an excellent competitive option for Olivier Giroud up front.
The two regularly tussle for a spot in Didier Deschamps' France national side, and bringing the striking battle from a top international side to the club sounds an excellent idea in principle.
Benzema has buckets of experience, 61 caps for Les Bleus and a proven track record in the UEFA Champions League. He's close to a one-in-two record for los Blancos, and Giroud and Mesut Ozil would facilitate his settling in North London and help produce an immediate impact.
But football isn't played on paper, and Benzema regularly fails to hit form in La Liga despite playing ahead of a plethora of elite creative options at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Simply put, he's not a clinical finisher—evidenced by his domestic record of 13 shots per goal—and that puts him in the same unenviable range Giroud was last season (9.7).
Benzema has recently ended one of the most horrendous goal droughts in footballing history, with his goal for France against Australia this weekend his first in an astonishing 1,224 minutes.
He's a linkup, target striker—and a very good one at that—so it's unfair to measure his game solely on goals, but for the mooted fee of £20 million, the Emirates crowd will demand a pretty decent return.
It's unlikely the former Lyon ace will ever become the clinical finisher Suarez has become, and Wenger has set a standard in the transfer market by signing a player as talented as Ozil.
Is this the level Arsenal are aiming for, or should they be dipping their feet into the tier above?
You get the impression Benzema would be the ideal foil for for Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale once both are fully fit and in form, as his layoffs and final-third passes are top-notch, and Carlo Ancelotti won't be eager to sell.
The notion that Benzema would be "offered" to the Gunners is likely false given the dearth of striking options his departure would leave the Merengues. That said, he needs get out of Madrid; the crowd boo him and dislike his style, his demanour on the pitch.
A potential move by the Frenchman could open things up for Luis Suarez too, so be prepared for a January transfer window merry-go-round featuring Arsenal, Liverpool and Real Madrid.
As for Benzema and his prospects of shining in North London..it'd be nice to see what he's capable of with a bit of love from the terraces.

The shy one
Dance floors are difficult places for shy people. There's not a lot of opportunity for them to show their talent. They are always ready with their excuse "YAAR VO NA PET MAI DARD HAI" "AREE TUM KARO MAI JOIN KARTA HOON". They can be a KHATRO KE KHILADI but cannot be a AJA NACHLE types.
The crazy freak
For these type of dancers there is no limit and instructions to show their talent. Their feet start tapping while listening to the music, and they suddenly become HRITHIK ROSHAN. They are not shy of the people around them, for them any move is their pet dance move . They are one of the "carefree dancers".
The Bollywood fan
They are the type of dancers who have the capacity to change the normal atmosphere to the Bollywood one. They be like "BADTAMEZ DIL MANE NA". Every DESI AUNTY is their fan and people's reaction after seeing their dance is like "HAYEE EKDM RANBEER JAISE NACHTA HAI". Yess… they are exactly The Ranbir Kapoor types hot, sizzling and the perfect step matcher!!
The "I AM THE BEST DANCER"
They can match any step to any song and they are exactly the perfect dancers. For them dance is not a big challenge. They can do bhangra on Bollywood songs too, and moreover the expressions they give while dancing suits each lyrics to the best!!
The bhangra dancer
Well these type of dancers are sort of bhangra lovers they can relate any song to bhangra and can dance well on them, whether it is Bollywood, Bhojpuri or Haryanvi . They are never tired of their bhangra steps!!
The sweet couple
There is always a sweet couple who are ready to dance with the flow. A perfect dance from a perfect match. They are the romantic love songs type dancers and are like "HUM TERE BIN AB REH NAI SAKTE". No dance form, no step and no judgement can decide the amount of love they show while dancing!!
The one who cannot dance
We often see these type of dancers who creates annoying steps on any kind of song!! They have no idea about what is going on and endlessly create funny steps, which don't even match with the song!! Their attitude is like " KARDUNGA TERI TAYE TAYE FISSS". Funny dancers ever spotted!!

Juventus snapped up Paul Pogba from Manchester United, but it's now rumoured Manchester City want to bring him back to England.
The talented 19-year-old midfielder left United on a free transfer in the summer and has been a sensation in Turin, scoring five Serie A goals.
There are reports in the Sunday People that the Frenchman could return to Manchester, albeit for United's rivals City.
While Pogba feels he will get more playing time at Juventus, Manchester City have a huge transfer budget and could potentially tempt the Bianconeri into a sale.
Having signed him on a free transfer, Pogba's exit would provide a massive boost to the club's coffers.

NCAA Football Top 25: Championship Week And BCS Projections; TCU No. 2December 6, 2009
Tyler Stimson votes in the ESPN-U poll and the Bleacher Report poll.
(Team Records and last weeks ranking in parentheses )
We finish the regular season with five unblemished teams, and only two (Alabama and Texas) will compete for a national championship. We need a playoff, now!
This is my College Football Top 25 for end of the regular season and conference championship games.
Here is my newest Top 25:
1. (3) Alabama (12-0)— Even I can't justify ranking TCU ahead of Alabama at this point. The Tide demolished Florida 32-14 at a neutral site. They have played the toughest schedule among any of the undefeated teams, they have only had one close game all year (back when Tennessee was playing great).
Beating Virginia Tech, LSU, Florida, Ole Miss, Auburn, and South Carolina is just too impressive not to be ranked No.1. Even I'm not biased enough to vote TCU ahead of Alabama.
2. (1) TCU (12-0)—Demolished New Mexico at home, 52-10, and clinched the MWC championship; last week.
Two weeks ago, TCU's overall SOS was 16 spots higher than Texas (32 to 48). Now that TCU played New Mexico, a 1-11 team, their SOS has plummeted, and Texas' has gone up.
TCU has not dilly-dallied with clearly inferior opponents, even top 25 caliber ones. They have demolished them, jumping out to a 21-0 lead against BYU, and a 35-7 lead against Utah early in the second quarter. They have consistently jumped out to huge leads, and left no doubt as to who the better team is by the end of the first half.
Regardless of what you think about TCU vs. Texas, there needs to be an actual debate between the voters for having TCU or Texas in the National Championship game against the Florida/Alabama winner.
TCU is clearly the hotter team: Since Oct. 17th, TCU's closest game was a 55-28 beatdown of Utah, a game where they led 35-7 early in the second quarter.
Texas, on the other hand has struggled mightily, and was very fortunate to beat Oklahoma, Texas A&M, and Nebraska.
3. (5) Boise State (13-0)—Beat New Mexico State 42-7 at home, capping off a 13-0 season. I'd like Boise's chances against Texas. Boise State would've done what Nebraska couldn't have.
4. (6) Cincinnati (12-0)—Beat Pittsburgh 45-44. They came back from three TD's. This is a very good football team, but their defense has been gashed all year. Their offense might be the best in all of college football, but that will not be enough if they face an elite and balanced team.
Pitt is a good team, but the victory was not impressive enough for Cincinnati to pass Boise State, let alone TCU.
Boise State beat Fresno State 51-34, on the road. Cincinnati beat Fresno State 28-20, at home. Boise State beat Oregon, Cincinnati beat Oregon State. It's close, but no cigar for the Bearcats, who admittedly have played a tougher schedule but have given up 45, 21, 36, 44 in the last four weeks.
They won three of those games by a combined six points. Not impressive enough to pass Boise, in my opinion. But they deserve a title shot as much as any of the five undefeateds. And I think they would beat Texas.
5. (4) Texas (13-0)—Beat Nebraska in an ugly, ugly defensive struggle 13-12. Colt McCoy's best two plays were punts. Enough said. Not playing like a championship caliber team or the best team in Texas.
In back-to-back weeks we've seen what a good defense (Nebraska) and a good offense (Texas A&M) can do to Texas. Imagine what Alabama, who has a great offense and a great defense, will do the Longhorns?
Unfortunately, we all know that Texas will get their title shot, while more or equally deserving teams will not. Any of the other four undefeated teams would beat Texas on a neutral field.
6. (2) Florida (12-1)— Lost to Alabama 32-13. Wow, I thought Alabama would pull off a close upset victory, but that was not even close.
Alabama clearly benefited from playing a much tougher schedule than Florida. They were much better prepared and they were the clearly better and more explosive team.
Florida has been exposed, in my opinion, as having an average offense this year. They may have averaged 49 points a game against Charleston Southern, Troy, FIU, Georgia, Kentucky, and Florida State.
But, against the rest of their schedule? (Tennessee, LSU, Arkansas, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, South Carolina and now Alabama) A measly 21 points a game.
7. Oregon (10-2)—Beat Oregon State 33-29 in a classic Civil War battle. Oregon is king of the second-best conference in the country, as well as the conference with the most parity. USC at 8-4, will finish in sixth place.
8. (13) BYU (10-2)—Beat Utah 26-23 in an Overtime thriller last week. I attended this game personally—there is no better moment for a college football fan than witnessing your team beat your bitter rival with a walk off OT TD win—and that's what happened. BYU trailed 23-20, and it was second and ten in the first overtime.
Max Hall squeezed short a bullet pass into Andrew George, who stayed on his feet, and ran into the end zone. The fans went absolutely nuts, and stormed the field. It was an awesome experience. In three out of the last four years, BYU has beat Utah in dramatic fashion.
This was the only game of the week where both teams were ranked.
Since getting upset by Florida State in week three, BYU is 8-1, with their only loss coming to No. 1 TCU. In a mishmash of two-loss teams, BYU rises to the top. They could easily be 15th. Oklahoma's demolition of Oklahoma State also strengthens BYU's case.
If Iowa and Penn State are still candidates for a BCS bowl, why isn't BYU? Their fan base would travel just as well or better.
Is the Big Ten really much better than the MWC? The MWC is pretty much unofficially a BCS conference at this point. They are just as good or better than the typical BCS conference.
9. Ohio State (10) (10-2)—Beat Michigan 21-10 a week ago. Ohio State is the class of a mediocre and (admittedly) deep conference, and Michigan gave that game away, with three red zone turnovers, and another turnover that went the other way for a touchdown.
This is a good football team, but I like the Oregon/Oregon State winner to beat them in the Rose Bowl.
10. Iowa (12) (10-2)—Beat Minnesota 12-0 three weeks ago. Iowa, with its rabid fan base, and Oklahoma State's loss, looks likely to nab an at-large BCS berth.
11. Georgia Tech (12) (10-2)- Beat Clemson for the second time, 39-34. Clinched a BCS berth, and a potential matchup with an undefeated team.
12. LSU (13) (9-3)—Handled the clock right this time, tied the game, and won 33-30 on a missed FG by Arkansas' kicker in OT (last week). 9-3 in the best conference in America? Good enough for 13th in the country, at least for me.
13. Penn State (15) (10-2)—Demolished Michigan State 42-10 two weeks ago. This is a team that has played an easy schedule. Their best victory is...over Northwestern. They lost convincingly to the only two good teams they faced. They still have a decent chance at a BCS at-large bid.
14. Utah (17) (9-3)—Lost to BYU 26-23 in an OT thriller a week ago. They trailed 20-6, before battling all the way back and tying the game with a FG with 39 seconds left...only to lose on a walk-off Andrew George TD in OT.
I can't imagine how they feel right now—they almost had a great comeback against their biggest rival, but came up just short.
I don't think they should be penalized too much for losing by three points, on the road to a top 10 team. Their three losses have come on the road to three top ten teams; TCU, Oregon and BYU. Two of those losses (BYU and Oregon) the Utes could've easily won.
15. Virginia Tech (18) (9-3)—Crushed Virginia 42-13 a week ago. Their only losses are to Alabama, Georgia Tech, and North Carolina; all games they could've won.
16. Miami (22) (9-3)—Beat South Florida 31-10 a week ago. Miami had a great year; after starting the season unranked, they have remained in the Top 25 since Week Two.
17. Oregon State (15) (8-4)— Lost to Oregon 33-29 in a heart breaker. They might be headed to Vegas, to play a top 15 BYU team in the Las Vegas Bowl.
18. Arizona (23) (8-4)- Beat USC 21-17. They are 6-3 in the Pac 10 - (perhaps) the best and certainly the most competitive conference top to bottom in the country.
19. Stanford (25) (8-4)— Beat Notre Dame 45-38 a week ago. Toby Gearhart deserves the Heisman: he has been the best player in college football this year. He ran for over 200 yards, three TDs and even threw a TD.
20. West Virginia (24) (9-3)—Upset Pittsburgh at home last Friday Night, 19-16. They have a tough game next week at Rutgers.
21. Pittsburgh (16) (9-3)—Lost to Cincinnati 45-44 in a heart breaker. They looked like the better team, but Cincinnati made the plays, and the extra point, when it counted. That's two heart breakers in a row for the Pitt Panthers.
21. Ole Miss (Unranked) (8-4)— Lost to Miss State two weeks ago.
22. Houston (11) (10-3)— Lost to East Carolina 38-33.
23. Nebraska (Unranked) (9-4)— Lost to Texas, 13-12. Their kicker cost them the game by kicking it out of bounds after they took a 12-10 lead. Also, several nefarious pass interference calls led to the Longhorns "victory."
Suh is the best player in America, and I'm putting him No. 1 on my Heisman ballot. They get credit for a good "loss," a game that the referees and (admittedly) Nebraska's own ineptitude won for Texas.
24. USC (18) (8-4)— Lost to Arizona 21-17.
25. Central Michigan (Unranked) (11-2)— Beat Ohio 20-10 in the MAC championship game.
Conference Breakdown

Conference Power Rankings
1. SEC —Is there really any doubt? Maybe the Pac-10 could challenge them, but honestly the SEC is clearly the best conference in college football.
They may have only three ranked teams, but they will have 10 bowl eligible teams this year. Not to mention they have the clear No. 1 team in the country, Alabama, and they have No. 6 Florida, and a top 15 team in LSU.
2. Pac-10 —There is so much depth and parity in this conference. They really have six excellent teams. If you took out Washington State.
3. MWC —Clearly best Non-BCS conference, actually better than most BCS conferences. I'm sure you may have doubts, but remember Utah-Alabama last year? TCU is better than that team, much better. Boasts an undefeated 2-0 record in BCS bowls (thanks to Utah).
4. Big Ten —Has depth, but overall is mediocre; they get credit for solid OOC wins over Arizona and Air Force.
5. Big East - Plays a ridiculously easy OOC schedule overall, but Cincinnati did beat Oregon State earlier in the year
6. ACC - Got absolutely owned by the SEC last week.
7. Big 12 —Only one good team; Texas. May be better than Big 10, ACC or Big East, but have they done anything to prove it? What is their best Non-conference win this season?
Projected BCS Bowl Matchups
No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 2 Texas - BCS National Championship Game

FAIRBANKS (AP) -- Dr. Bill James spent his last day at Chief Andrew Isaac Clinic on Wednesday reminiscing about his 44-year career as a physician, enjoying a potluck and participating in a final round of teary farewells.
Hugs and tears have been going on for weeks as clinic patients realize that Dr. James really is retiring.
Longtime patient and friend Shirley Demientieff deliberately scheduled herself for James' last appointment on his last day. James asked Demientieff why she bothered to show up since she never follows his advice anyway.
Out of James' earshot, Demientieff said, ''He's a great doctor for knowing what he's talking about. I don't know who I'm going to go to.''
James, 70, came to Alaska as a commissioned officer in the Public Health Service in 1959 and has never left except to pursue a specialty in pediatrics.
''It's been a great adventure,'' James said. ''I've gotten to see a lot of Alaska,'' he added, ticking off his many stations over the past four decades: the Pribilofs, Anchorage, Bering Sea coast, Southeast Alaska, Tanana and most of the Interior villages.
A son of the Midwest, James served his medical internship in Denver where he discovered mountains, downhill skiing and wide open spaces.
''I swore I would never live east of the Mississippi again,'' James said.
He and his wife of 15 years, Jean Wadland, have no intentions of moving elsewhere. ''I still get excited when the geese come in the spring and I get excited in the fall when I see the first star,'' he said.
The white-bearded doctor has been battling his own medical problems for the past two years -- chronic lymphocytic leukemia and prostate cancer. He continued to work as a family physician at the clinic while undergoing six months of chemotherapy. Both cancers are in remission.
When James first started working with the Public Health Service in Alaska, tuberculosis and infectious diseases were the major killers.
''Kids were dying of measles, dying of diarrhea and dehydration, and TB was rampant,'' he recalled. ''One time I went to Stevens Village and half of the kids there had positive TB skin tests.
''It (TB) really disrupted Native society in the '20s, '30s and '40s,'' he said. ''When you take the mother and father out of the home and a lot of them died too. A lot of kids got raised in children's homes.''
Today, James said, it is rare to get an active tuberculosis case.
''What has improved tremendously is immunizations and sanitation, and that's solved a lot of the problems we had back then,'' James said. ''Now it has turned to more general things, like cancer and heart trouble and diabetes.''
James points to alcoholism as the biggest health problem today. Alcoholism has a lot more social problems attached to it and is most disruptive to families, especially children, he said.
In his early years serving at the Public Health Service hospital in Tanana, James had his share of stressful moments dealing with complicated births and Caesarean sections. Still vivid in his memory is an emergency operation in Nulato on his first village field trip out of Tanana in 1960. It was January, and the radio was down, eliminating an air evacuation, so James had no recourse but to perform surgery by flashlight on a woman who was bleeding internally from a tubal pregnancy.
He was accompanied by two nurses. One nurse sat on a ladder holding the flashlight overhead. The other nurse fainted.
''It took forever and ever, a couple of hours,'' James recalled. The procedure normally would take about 10 minutes. ''And she's still alive,'' he added with a smile.
For his retirement, James has planned a Grand Canyon backpacking trip, a Fortymile River float trip and a 10-day cruise between Moscow and St. Petersburg, Russia, before he hits the books. He's already reading ''Moby Dick'' and intends to crack a few more classics and peruse Civil War and Revolutionary War literature as winter sets in. James also plans to take university classes in geology, history, literature and maybe brush up on his Spanish.
''I'll probably audit them,'' he said with a grin. ''I don't want to write any papers.''
James leaves a large void at the clinic, said nurse Beth Zito, who has worked closely with James for six years.
''He's a very hardworking, educated, compassionate human being,'' Zito said. ''He's always reading. He's always learning. He's always the first one learning about something new and always teaching everybody there. The other doctors, they come to ask him for advice. His patients too, and sometimes it isn't even about his medical care.
''You don't meet too many people like him in your life. We're all going to miss him.''

Here we are in the midst of the summer and the temperature is hovering around 90 + degrees. Make sure you are adequately hydrated especially if you're outside. Field Day is over and I have to say, it was a blast! I made some of the rounds on Saturday with SEC Russ, KC2LSB and ASEC Charlie, WA2GUG. We stopped at 9 sites during the day and logged over 450 miles. I finished my rounds Sunday about 1PM. I had visited sites from Staten Island to Montauk. It was great seeing all the clubs working hard to squeeze the most contacts out of their antenna setups while enjoying the two great days of weather. Some of them sent in reports.
LIMARC Field Day 2013
More than 100 attended
5 stations, 2 SSB, 2 CW, 1 Digital, plus 6 meters
Used Side band, cw, psk31
solar power, battery, generators
attempted satellite communications
used tri-plexers to allow three transceivers to use one antenna
more than 1400 contacts, 48 out of the 50 states
The 2013 Great South Bay Amateur Radio Club Field Day / Babylon Town ARES was one of the best we had since our first one in 1976. The W2GSB group operated 5F with a GOTA (W2TOB) and VHF station in the park adjacent to our EOC at the Babylon Town Hall in North Lindenhurst, Long Island, New York. With over 60 operators helping with the setup, take down and operation we made 694 CW, 92 digital and 952 phone QSO's. We had solar power on one of our communications trailers that ran on 40 meter CW and PSK31. We also had the use of a 86 foot boom which made putting up antennas much easier and then doubled as a mast for our six and two meter beams.
Many non-ham visitors showed up due to our publicity campaign and
activities during and after hurricane Sandy. We had more than the usual
amount of interest from local visiting politcians. Each non-ham visitor was given a packet of information about Ham Radio and information about the club's free licensing classes. Many youngsters and inactive hams stopped by and they were taken to the GOTA tent to "Get on the air".
Visiting local representatives from served agencies and local politicians
were each given a one on one tour of our facilities and literature about
the club and ARES. We tried something new this year, a poster and "self serve" information table setup for sending NTS Radiograms. It was successful and we are going to carry this concept on at Emergency Shelters in the future.
The food was excellent as usual and our barbeque chef K2BBQ out did himself in serving up some really tasty food. The weather was perfect for the entire event.
Northeast Wireless RC had another enjoyable Field Day on the water at Fort Totten (Queens). Our small club of eight members operates a 3A station which includes Phone, CW and Digital communications. We had approximately 400 QSO's which we log through a wireless system connecting our laptops. We utilized several dipoles, loops , even a beam mounted on metal military mast support poles to effectuate these contacts. Our solar panels always draw attention, and this year was no exception. We had nearly thirty visitors, at all hours of the day and night. The Park Rangers regularly include us on their tours, and this provides a perfect opportunity to demonstrate our exciting hobby to the public.
I would like to congratulate and welcome Joe Nieves, N2TEE who has taken on the role of DEC in the New York City District. Joe was the former ADEC of NYC and EC of Richmond County. I would also like to thank David Lefkowitz, KB2KAB, who stepped down from the EC position on Staten Island. Dave stated he will still be around but his new schedule of work has limited his time. Good Luck to both of you.
Here is a QST de W1AW:
ARRL Bulletin 16 ARLB016
From ARRL Headquarters
Newington CT July 9, 2013
To all radio amateurs
ARLB016 ARRL Urges Denial of Petition to Permit Encryption of Some
Emergency Communications
The ARRL is calling on the FCC to deny a Petition for Rule Making
(RM-11699) seeking to permit the encryption of certain amateur
communications during emergency operations or related training
exercises. Don Rolph, AB1PH, of E Walpole, Massachusetts, petitioned
the Commission in March to suggest an additional exception to
§97.113, which currently prohibits "messages encoded for the purpose
of obscuring their meaning."
"While Mr Rolph has concisely stated his argument, it is ARRL's
considered view that there is no factual or legal basis for the
assumption that encryption of transmissions…is necessary in order
to continue and enhance the utility of Amateur Radio emergency and
disaster relief communications," the League said in its comments,
filed today with the FCC. The ARRL also turned away Rolph's
assertion that the current prohibition in §97.113 "has impacted the
relationship of Amateur Radio volunteers and served agencies and
significantly limited the effectiveness of amateurs in supporting
emergency communications." The League said it's unaware of any
evidence that served agencies have been reluctant to utilize Amateur
Radio as part of their emergency or disaster relief communications
plans because of the encryption restrictions in Part 97. The Amateur
Service rule is based on a similar prohibition in international
telecommunication law, the ARRL noted.
The League characterized as "erroneous" and "unfounded" Rolph's
assumption that encryption of certain information may be required
under the provisions of HIPAA – the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act. "This mistaken assumption leads to the
conclusion that the inability of Amateur Radio operators to encrypt
the content of their transmissions in order to obscure the meaning
of the transmissions renders Amateur Radio less (and decreasingly)
useful to served agencies than it would be if encryption of those
transmissions was permitted," the ARRL said. The League also said it
was unaware of any instance in which state statutes have been cited
by any served agency or group as a reason not to employ Amateur
Radio for emergency communication.
Radio amateurs, the ARRL countered, are not "covered entities" under
HIPAA, which applies only to health care providers, health plans and
health care clearinghouses. And, the League added, there is no
expectation of privacy in Amateur Radio communications.
The ARRL said it's not possible to determine the validity of the
claim "that health care agencies subject to HIPAA are or might be
unwilling or reluctant to utilize Amateur Radio in emergency
communications and disaster relief planning" because of any lack of
privacy inherent in Amateur Radio. "Permitting encryption might
remedy the concern as a practical matter, if the concern exists,"
the League continued, but "the complete dearth of even anecdotal
evidence of the existence of that concern" makes it impossible to
justify the proposed rule change on that basis.
"It is extremely important to insure that Amateur Radio remains
useful to served disaster relief and emergency communications
agencies, which include health care facilities," the League
stressed. "It is just as important to insure that regulatory
impediments to that volunteer work be minimized to the extent
consistent with the nature of the Amateur Radio Service." Amateur
Radio's utility to served agencies in supporting emergency
communication, the ARRL continued, "is high indeed, and is at the
present time unfettered by the inability to encrypt transmissions."
However, the ARRL said that should it become necessary in the future
for radio amateurs to protect the privacy of individuals whose
medical data may be transmitted by Amateur Radio during or after an
emergency or disaster, "the Commission may be asked to revisit this
"It is urgent that Amateur Radio continue to be an essential
component of disaster and emergency communications planning," and
that served agencies, including medical facilities, perceive the
utility of Amateur Radio as unhindered by regulations that prohibit
encryption, the League emphasized.
More than 200 comments were filed on RM-11699, most of them tending
to support the ARRL's arguments.

[Richmond – N2TEE] Many of our members enjoyed a hot and humid Field Day weekend which was hosted by the Kings County Repeater Association at the Boy Scouts Pouch Camp in Richmond county. With other non-radio events happening simultaneously, there were many visitors from the general public to the radio shack and outdoor satellite radio tent. It was a joy to interact with so many interested children and adults throughout the weekend.
[District – N2TEE] Please take advantage of the emergency communication related courses being offered locally throughout the coming weeks. This is a unique opportunity to engage directly with other hams who share a similar focus and drive. Classroom instruction helps put the books and online reading material in context with activities in the field.
The district web site at aresnyc.org has been going through some changes as of late. Other than a major cosmetic change to a three column format, many changes have been subtle to date. More updates are scheduled for the coming weeks, so visit the site regularly. Would like to thank Mitch N2RGA for his assistance and guidance throughout the process.

Russ, KC2LSB, SEC
I hope you all had the opportunity to participate in Field Day to some degree. Instead of our normal Field Day operating
Charlie, WA2GUG – ASEC and I tagged along with our Section Manager Jim, W2KFV. We visited 8 sites on Saturday
from Camp Pouch Boy Scout Camp on Staten Island to Horton Point Light House in Southold on the North Fork.
It was great to see the varied operations and all the folks that came to the various sites to participate.
It was also great to meet some of you and finally put faces to the names and calls. I hope you all had a great experience. I thoroughly
enjoyed the day.
Some of you may know that Charlie and I are teaching an EC-001 class on July 20-21 in Nassau. You may not be aware that we will be doing that again in Brooklyn
at Methodist Hospital on early September. If you are interested in attending either class please contact
me and/or Charlie at firstname.lastname@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com respectively. The New EC-001 class is a much better
class than the prior versions. If you have taken a prior version you may sit in on the class for free. If
you want to take the test to get credit for the course with the league that will cost $15 and require that
you also have taken the FEMA ICS-100 and ICS-700 classes before taking the test.

Eversheds is gearing up to launch an office in Beijing later this year as it awaits the "imminent" approval of its licence application.
Eversheds first announced that it was going to open an office in Beijing in September 2010 (13 September 2010), after dispatching company commercial head Peter Halpin (now client service director) and head of international Stephen Hopkins to China to draw up a business case for the launch. At the time, Eversheds predicted that it would be on the ground in Beijing at some point in 2011.
This timeline has now been revised, with managing partner Lee Ranson saying that that the firm would launch its Beijing office at some point during 2012. No specific reason was given for the delay.
The Lawyer understands that the firm has already secured preliminary approval to launch the office from the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Justice but that it is still awaiting approval from the country's Ministry of Justice. A spokeswoman for Eversheds said that the firm's licence application was expected to be approved "imminently".
Eversheds is yet to name the partner who will lead the office and it is understood that the firm is also looking to hire lawyers to join the firm in Beijing. In November 2011, Eversheds hired corporate partner Virginie Deslandrew from Norton Rose's Beijing office to lead its China practice in Paris (28 November 2011).
Eversheds' Beijing office will target international financial services work, as well as offering services to multinationals on inbound foreign direct investment deals, and Chinese corporates on outbound investment work.
Eversheds already has offices in Shanghai and Hong Kong. The firm opened in Shanghai in 2006 (8 September 2006) after hiring Linklaters associate Peter Corne, who left Eversheds in 2010 to join Dorsey & Whitney as its Shanghai office managing partner. Eversheds opened in Hong Kong in September 2008 after hiring Nick Seddon from Heller Ehrman (25 September 2008).

The Christmas Story
A Christmas Story for people having a bad day:
When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure.
Then Mrs Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.
When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where.
Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were
Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the
elves had drank all the cider and hidden the liquor. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little
glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.
Just then the doorbell rang, an irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great
big Christmas tree.
The angel said very cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would
you like me to stick it?'
And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.

Christmastime in Washington

A man and his wife were working in their garden one day and the man looks over at his wife and says:
"Your butt is getting really big, I mean really big. I bet your butt is bigger than the grill."
With that, he proceeded to get a measuring tape And measured the grill and then went over to where his wife was working and measured his wife's bottom.
"Yes, I was right, your butt is 2" wider than the grill!"
The woman chose to ignore her husband.
Later that night in bed, the husband is feeling a little frisky. He makes some advances towards his wife who completely brushes him off.
"What's wrong?" he asks.
She answers, "Do you really think I'm going to fire up this big-ass grill for one little weenie ?"

The third annual Cactus Show and Art Fair at Moon-Sun Cactus & Koi Gardens, 6430 McGill Ave., is set to bring artists and gardeners together to share their interests with the public April 20 and 21.
"We're bringing in mostly local artists," said Moon-Sun owner Patrick Helfrich. "We'll also have Master Gardeners giving free advice, and the Cactus and Succulent Society of Southern Nevada with their show plants on display that have been judged and are marked with ribbons."
Moon-Sun staff member Sam Johnson said, "We've got an interesting collection of artists coming out. We have sculptors, potters, a photographer and an artist who creates petroglyph reproductions. There will be jewelry there, also."
Dave Thompson plans a short jaunt down the street to show his work.
"It's very convenient," Thompson said. "Some of my work, including some of my larger pieces, are here all the time. That gives me room back in my shed to work on new ones."
Thompson creates outdoor sculptures from recycled material.
"I'm always on the lookout for the right kind of thing to build with," he said. "Sometimes I'll see a piece of scrap and think, 'That looks like an elephant's trunk. Now I just have to find the rest of the elephant.' "
The process can take years as he sorts through scrap metal, keeping an eye out for parts he wants to work with, mentally combining parts before he welds them together . No two pieces are identical, and even when he creates a similar work, the varying materials and arrangement give each one a unique look.
"If I'm making a rabbit or something, I'll end up putting the ears in a different position or turning a piece one way or the other so they all have their own personality," Thompson said.
He gets his raw materials from discarded building material, auctions and by keeping his eyes open as he travels, sometimes finding the perfect piece illegally discarded on a desert road. He literally turns trash to treasure, building art from old washing machines, rusted jacks and railroad spikes.
"The actual work of putting things together is pretty quick," Thompson said. "I spend most of the time getting material, sorting it and working it out in my head."
Rather then sculpting, bending and carving materials to create his vision , Thompson treats the material as a collaborative partner, letting it take the work in the direction most natural for it.
He recalled an early work in which he was creating a cow. He had it mostly together but needed a piece for the neck.
"It was an early piece, and it was a very simple pose, just a cow standing on four legs, and I meant to have it just looking forward," Thompson said. "Then I found this piece of metal, and when I turned it right it fit snug against the body, but that turned the cows head up and to the side. It was a much more interesting look, so I put it all together like that."
Recently, Thompson has taken to adding ceramics to some his pieces, drilling carefully through cups, plates and bowls to create flowers and other delicate looking pieces.
"It can be a challenge," Thompson said. "I use a special drill, but sometimes, just as I break through the bottom, the tension breaks and peeesh! It breaks."
His work ranges in size from garden accents under a foot tall to a fire-breathing dragon with a 21-foot wingspan. Piece prices start at $25 and go up to a few thousand dollars.
Thompson has displayed his work in gallery shows and exhibits from libraries to the Springs Preserve. To see more of his work, visit thesculpturefactory.com.
The Cactus Show and Art Fair is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 20 and 21. Admission is free. Moon-Sun is open from 8 a.m. to
5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. For details, visit moon-sunlandscapes.com or call 702-645-2032.
