Protection Warrior 7.1.5 Guide
General Overview
Stats Priority
Enchants, Gems, Consumables
Artifact Traits
Best in slot Gear
Hi again, everyone! After making my
Fury Warrior DPS Guide
, I decided to make another one, about another Warrior specialization that I enjoy playing, and that is the Tank spec, Protection.
I remember the first time I tried playing a tank. It was back in
The Burning Crusade
, many years ago. I liked the idea of being able to protect the others, by making all the monsters attack me, while I am blocking, parrying or dodging all their attacks with my shield. There was something very exciting about hearing the sound of a Raid Boss swinging it's huge claw, club, fist or paw at you, but you managing to stay alive against all odds, with the help of your healers.
Of course, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I was just putting on the items with the most stamina and I had no clue about what talents to choose, how to position myself or anything related to tanking, I just really liked the idea behind it.
That's what I'm hoping to help you with, with this guide. It's aimed at people that like the idea of being a tank, but are afraid of failing or to be made fun of. It is also aimed at people that have some idea of how they should tank, but are looking for some extra tips and suggestions about optimizations of their survivability and their damage output.
The last thing I would like to say before getting into it, is that
Protection Warriors are extremely fun to play
, especially in an AoE environment, but also in a single target environment, both in a Raid and a
Mythic Dungeon
. Its' talents and mechanics synergize very well with each other, it has a lot of active mitigation abilities that will make you take reduced damage at most of the times and it's very, very enjoyable to play. It's not only a good tank, but also a decent DPS in mythics. We will see in this guide how a
Protection Tank
can be very very survivable, while at the same time using that survivability to do high amounts of damage. That being said, let's get into it!
Note* This Guide will be aimed more towards the
build, which is a more exciting and damage dealing one. If you wish to take these tips and explanations and choose different talents, it's totally up to you. A lot of the guide is still valid for the non-
This guide will mention the term "mitigation" or "active mitigation" a lot. It means that you must have some sort of defensive ability active on you at all times, to reduce de incoming damage. To mitigate means to decrease, to lower, to deny, a portion of the incoming damage.
General Overview
As I've said above, everything synergizes very well in this spec, so it's hard to single out one or two abilities that are the most important about Protection, that's why I will list all the abilities in the General Overview, because they are all important. Here they are:
Shield Slam
- your main rage generating ability and single target damage dealing ability. Generating Rage is good because you can either deal damage with it, or increase your defenses.
- Your main damage attack that you will be using whenever you have enough rage for it.
shines especially in AoE fights, since it hits all targets in front of you. This ability synergizes well with Ignore Pain, because of a talent that I will mention later on.
Ignore Pain
- A pretty good absorb. This will be one of the damage mitigation effects that you will have on you most of the times.
Thunder Clap
- A very good AoE ability that generates 5 rage. It is not limited to AoE usage, and should also be used on single target when
Shield Slam
is on cooldown and you don't have enough rage for
Shield Block
- Your second damage blocking effect next to
Ignore Pain
, that should be active at most times, no matter who you are fighting, since it also increases the damage that you deal with
Shield Slam
by 30%. You block all melee attacks for the duration and it blocks 30% of the enemy melee hits damage and that amount can be doubled to 60%, because it can critically block.
Spell Reflection
- A nice defensive ability that reduces all spell damage that you take for the next 5 seconds by 30%, with the help of Reflective Plating.
Neltharion's Fury
- Your Artifact Weapon's ability. Critically blocks all melee hits while you are channeling it. Useful only in an AoE situation.
Demoralizing Shout
- Another defensive ability that makes you take 20% less damage.
Shield Wall
- Your big defensive ability. Using this, along side with
Shield Block
Ignore Pain
(that should always be on you), pretty much ensures that you can't die for at least 8 seconds, while this is active. In combination with the high amount of Armor that you have as a tank, which will make you take even less physical damage, and the above mentioned damage mitigation effects, you will not worry about dying while this is up.
Last Stand
- Your last resort when it comes to defensive cooldowns. Best used when you are in sticky situation and all your other defensive abilities are on cooldown.
Battle Cry
- A very small damage boost to your dps in a single target fight, and a very large damage boost in a AoE fight.
- An ability that makes the targeted mob attack you, if it wasn't already. This is a pretty obvious one. It's name should speak for itself. It's origins are since the start of WoW, when only Warriors were considered a viable tanking class. Since then more classes can tank pretty well, even better than the Warrior can, but you still hear and see on game chats or on Discord and Teamspeak people saying "Taunt it". Taunt makes the target attack you, if it wasn't already. As a tank your main concern, above all else will be to keep all NPCs attacking you (unless the Raid strategy requires a tank switch and have to wait for the duration of certain effects to go away before you can resume tanking the boss). You will already have high threat generation from your abilities, but you will want to use this ability at the beginning of a fight, when pulling a boss, just to make sure that you don't use aggro/threat.
- I've left if for last because my whole guide revolves of using the
talent, which eliminates this ability, and makes it a passive ability that will automatically hit each time you hit with a melee swing.
take your time
to carefully read again all these abilities and understand what each of them does, as it is essential in going further into the guide with Traits, Talents and Stats combinations.
Good, now let's get into the Protection Warrior Stats Priority.
Stats Priority
After playing for a while a Protection Warrior, and weighing different stats and items, I have found that there is an amalgam of 3 stats that are about equally beneficial to a Protection Warrior. If you have these 3 stats at equal level, your Warrior will be performing very well, but of course there is a very small difference in these stats that will benefit you just a teeny, tiny more, but at the end of the day, you need all 3 of them.
- Some of you might be wondering why would Haste be the first stat in importance, since it gives you no direct survivability increase. The reason it is the best stat is because it decreases the cooldown of some your abilities, so you can use them faster. For example:
Shield Block
Thunder Clap
Shield Slam
and you will also have a faster melee attack speed, which is very important, especially when paired with the
talent, which will make your melee attacks generate 5 rage each time you hit (will expand more on the
and Haste synergy in the discussion about Talents). Haste will make it so that you will basically have a 100% uptime of
Shield Block
, therefore mitigating a lot of the physical damage. This stat will increase both your damage and tanking capabilities, by lowering your cooldown on your rage generating abilities, which will allow you to boost your defenses and your attack at the same time.
Critical Strike
- Right behind Haste, Critical Strike increases your parry chance, thus increasing your survivability, by avoiding attacks, and it also increases your damage output, by being able to critical hit with abilities more.
Note that Critical Strike is especially more beneficial to you in Mythic Dungeons, where you can benefit more from critical hits, because there are more targets. Critical Strike, as I've said gives you an increased parry chance. An increased Parry chance gives you an additional chance of making your next
cost no rage, therefore making you deal more damage, and a cost-reduced
Ignore Pain
after you use
because of the
talent, which will, in turn, make you more survivable, so it's a philosophy of being hard to kill by doing high amounts of damage.
- Increases your block chance and your critical block chance. It also passively increases your attack power by a percent. The flat damage increase from the attack power is very nice to have, while at the same time increasing your survivabilty with an increased chance to block attacks. The reason why mastery is behind Mastery slightly is because Haste will make you have a 100% uptime (or around that high percentage) on
Shield Block
, making the increased block chance part of your Mastery irrelevant, but still being good for the increased attack power and the Critical Block chance.
- Not a terrible stat, but behind these 3. If you are gearing up, definitely go for a flat percent increase in damage done and decrease in damage taken.
- Your last stat. Don't worry about it too much, as the only item that can have additional strength on it is a trinket, and as a Protection Warrior we won't want trinkets with strength, but rather with Haste/Mastery/Critical Strike.
Note* This Stats Priority is valid only if you feel comfortable enough with this tanking strategy. If you want a more laid back tanking experience, that will go all in for survivability and disregarding damage, you will want to go for Haste first, Mastery second, Versatility 3rd, Critical Strike and Strength being your last choices, and the talent you want to go with in that case is Indomitable. All other talents are situational and can be changed accordingly. Indomitable is the only one that will ensure a more passive and steady tanking experience.
Level 15:
- your only choice basically at level 15. A nice AoE stun that will help you gain a little bit of extra time on getting all your damage mitigation abilities up, while also giving you the opportunity to position yourself better. Very good especially in Mythic Dungeons. By having this ability you can help your party members increase their damage or survivability by letting them choose a different talent, rather than an AoE stun, which will be have a diminished effect if used in close interval one from another.
Storm Bolt
- useless in PvE.
- not worth it,
is better.
Note* For single target fights the level 15 talents will not benefit you that much, as they do not offer anything useful in particular.
Level 30:
Impending Victory
- Good for doing content alone, such as Draenor raids. Also good if your healer(s) are low and you think you need the extra heal once every 30 seconds.
Inspiring Presence
- The best pick out of the level 30 talents. It basically gives your whole group a 3% leech, being healed by 3% of the damage they deal and helping the healers a little bit, in this regard. 3% leech means that every 1 million damage that you deal, you will be healed for 30,000, and considering that your group's AoE damage will probably be somewhere around that value, 30,000 heal a second is a decent heal to have. In the case of a single target fight, where people will be doing around 500k DPS, they will still be healed for 15,000 every second, which adds up, little by little and it makes it a useful talent to have.
- Not very useful, unless there is a scenario in which you know there will be a huge amount of damage that the group will taken in the next seconds, and you want to save a particular individual.
Level 45:
Renewed Fury
- You will be using
Ignore Pain
at all times, so you will have a 10% damage increase at all times. This is basically your best choice in all situations.
Best Served Cold
- This is an AoE talent, it can increase your damage dealt by
to a maximum of 25%. And this is only in the case that you are fighting 5 or more enemies. Not that good in single target fights. Between having a 25% damage increase to a single ability and having a 10% damage increase to all my abilities (
Thunder Clap
included, which will be at the top of the damage dealt in AoE fights) I choose the overall 10% damage increase.
- 20% damage increase for 20 seconds, with a 90 seconds cooldown. It's good only in the scenario in which you desperately want more burst damage for a small window. Not worth it at the end of the day, since
Renewed Fury
gives you 10% damage increase at all times.
Level 60:
Warlord's Challenge
- Very good talent for doing Mythic+ Dungeon where the affix is Skittish and you can lose aggro easily.
Bounding Stride
- Good for mobility and running ahead of the group and pulling large amounts of NPCs. Good especially in raids, where the other 2 talents are not that useful.
Crackling Thunder
- Good for easily getting aggro of NPCs, because of the increased range. Sometimes you just don't have what ability to use to get aggro on a mob with a high damage dealing ability, and it's frustrating. The extra range on this will ensure that the enemies will be attacking you, since they will always get hit by it. Best choice in Mythic+ Dungeons.
Level 75:
Never Surrender
- Worst talent out of these 3. It gives you more absorb to your
Ignore Pain
. The lower you are in health, the more it will absorb. This basically implies that you will have to be at a lower health value, to benefit more from it, which you do not want to be, as a tank.
- A passive increase to your maximum health and your maximum
Ignore Pain
absorb by 25%.
that this does not mean that your
Ignore Pain
will be 25% more effective. It just means that it is possible to absorb more with it, if you have the required rage. You will still have to spend more rage than usual to fill up that extra 25% more absorb on
Ignore Pain
. I suggest using this talent if you are just getting the hang of tanking and don't want to risk it. You won't have to work for the extra survivability, as it's just a passive increase.
- The talent on which everything revolves in doing large amounts of damage. The way this talent works is that it eliminates your
ability, and makes it so your melee hits will automatically hit with
, making it a passive ability. It also gives you 5 rage each time you hit with a melee hit. Rage generation is the most important thing for a Protection Warrior. If you generate rage, you can use more defensive abilities. If you use defensive abilities, they increase your damage dealt. It's a "one hand washes the other one" type of deal. Not to mention that each time you hit with a melee swing, you will have a 30% chance to reset the remaining cooldown of your
Shield Slam
. This will eliminate
from the rotation and from the time that you would have to waste in a global cooldown on it, and it will give you all its' bonuses for free. More Shields Slams means more rage. More rage generated means faster and more usages of
Ignore Pain
. You will have to master using this talent in order for it to work. You will have to work for constantly building up your absorb, while dealing high amounts of damage. If you won't be able to do so, you will fail miserably, and this talent will be useless.
Level 90:
Booming Voice
- Not that good, as it just increases your damage dealt by 25% when you use
Demoralizing Shout
. The first problem with it is that
Demoralizing Shout
is a defensive cooldown, and there are quite a lot of scenario where you do not want to use a defensive cooldowns just to get a 25% damage boost, and you want to use them separately. The second problem is that its' cooldown is too long for it to be worth it.
Into The Fray
- Good for AoE fights. But not as good as the last talent, which will be your go-to talent in this tier.
- The best choice. The perfect balance between damage dealt and survivability. This talent will be active all the times, and you will benefit from it a lot. Your
will cost 19 rage, down from 30, and your
Ignore Pain
will cost 13-39 Rage. You will always want to use
Ignore Pain
in sequence, one after the other one, using this talent. This talent combined with the
talent will make you rage machine, generating lots of rage that you can both use for offensive and defensive abilities, at a low cost. A very fun combination that requires you pay attention at all times to what abilities, but significantly increases your capabilities as a tank, whereas going for a more passive build will not be so rewarding and fun.
Level 100:
- Only useful in scenarios in which you need the extra defensive ability once every while, for example when you pull a large amount of mobs in a Mythic+. Only usable as a defensive ability for the 35% increased parry chance, as the damage it deals is very, very low, even in AoE situations, where you pull 10 or more NPCs. If you feel that you need this extra defensive cooldown, go for it, however it will not benefit in a situation where you want to be actively mitigating damage and do damage.
Heavy Repercussions
- The way to go for single target fights, especially in raids. You will have
Shield Block
up all the times and it will increase the damage of your
Shield Slam
by an additional 30%.
Anger Management
- Best option for Mythic+ dungeons. We have talked about how previous talents have this dichotomy of offensive and defensive at the same time. This is the cherry on top where it comes to this. Spending rage lowers the remaining cooldown on
Battle Cry
Demoralizing Shout
Last Stand
Shield Wall
by 1 second for every 10 rage spent. This is incredibly strong on Mythic+ dungeons where you can gain and spend even more rage, thus maximizing the effect of this talent. How will you gain more rage in an AoE environment, more than a single target environment? Simple, in an AoE situation, your
will proc more often, thus giving you free
uses. The
that you use counts as a full rage spent on it, of 30 rage, even if you have the
talent, which reduces the
's cost. The rage spent will be considered at its' full value and the same for
Ignore Pain
. Therefore, if you manage to get a few procs of free
, followed up by
Ignore Pain
's, you will find yourself getting to use
Battle Cry
twice for the same mob pack, not to mention that your defensive abilities will come off cooldown much, much faster, thus giving you the liberty of using them more often, without having to worry about finding the perfect moment to use them. Another perfect example of offensive/defensive synergy.
As far as a rotation is concerned, there is none. There are priorities and abilities that proc, and you will want to use them as soon as they do, but other than that, it's just a matter of prioritizing which ability you use. Therefore, here is an explanation of when you should use each of these abilities, and what they are:
Shield Slam
- use it always on cooldown, no matter the situation. Do not use it if you are at more rage cap, or about to hit the rage cap.
Shield Block
- should be always active, no matter what. The only reason you would not prioritize it is because you are fighting a target that deals more magical damage that physical damage, and you desperately need more rage for
Ignore Pain
, which absorbs all kinds of damage, not just physical.
Ignore Pain
- should always be used following a
, because of the
talent. No matter how much rage you have, you will always use it after a
. If you see that
Shield Slam
has come off cooldown, because of the 30% chance of reset that your spells have, use
Ignore Pain
first, and
Shield Slam
after. That way, you will have more room to decide what you want to next. You will have enough rage for both a
(which should be used in most cases) or
Ignore Pain
(if you are falling low in health). If you just use
Shield Slam
and then
Ignore Pain
, Ignore Pain will consume all the rage that you have, and you will have no rage to work with.
- use it always after following an
Ignore Pain
, again, because of the
talent. Consume the free
as soon as it comes. If the free
procs, it is above in priority, even to
Shield Slam
, especially in AoE fights.
Thunder Clap
- Whenever
Shield Slam
is on cooldown, and you have no rage-free
, you will use this ability on cooldown, no matter if it's an AoE or a single target fight, because it generates 5 rage and it applies a DoT (Deep Wounds) on the targets. In an AoE environment, this changes a bit, and you will want to use it as soon as it comes off cooldown.
Spell Reflection
- it has a short cooldown. Don't be afraid to use it whenever you know you are going to take a large amount of magic damage.
Demoralizing Shout
- Your medium defensive ability. Use it whenever the situation asks for it. Don't wait for the situation to get sticky for you to use it. Do not use it all together with your other defensive cooldowns, such as
Shield Wall
Last Stand
, unless the situation absolutely requires it. You want to use these defensive cooldowns one by one, not all at once.
Shield Wall
- Be mindful of using this. It has a pretty long cooldown of 4 minutes, so you do not want to use it when it's not required. In a Raid you will use it once per fight, so be careful. In a Mythc+ you can use it more often, especially with the
Anger Management
Last Stand
- The same as with
Shield Wall
Note * Where defensive cooldowns are concerned (
Demoralizing Shout
Shield Wall
Last Stand
), try to not use them all at the same time (unless the situation absolutely requires it), but one after another, so you will always have some sort of damage mitigation effect on you, which of course, will be combined with
Spell Reflection
Shield Block
Ignore Pain
Battle Cry
- should be used whenever it comes off cooldown, in an AoE environment. In a single target environment, it should be used if you can use
Shield Slam
right after activating it, for a little bit of extra damage on it.
Neltharion's Fury
- Best used when there are a lot of NPCs in front of you, and you have activated
Battle Cry
. You will do high amounts of AoE damage with this ability, because of the Scales of the Earth trait which will hit all the mobs for at least 2-3 times. Don't forget that you can also use defensive abilities while you are channeling this.
12. If you are not playing at the
talent, then you will also want to include
into your rotation. Use
Shield Slam
Thunder Clap
or rage-free
are not available.
Enchants, gems, relics, consumables
Flask of the Countless Armies
For more DPS
Flask of Ten Thousand Scars
For more survivability.
Potion of Prolonged Power
is the way to go overall.
Unbeding Potion
for an additional defensive cooldown, if you feel like you need it.
Quick Dawnlight
+150 haste.
1. Cloak -
Binding of Strength
+200 strength.
2. Neck -
Mark of the Claw
Mark of the Heavy Hide
for an additional defensive proc.
3. Rings -
Binding of Haste
on both of your rings +150 haste.
The relics that increase your survivability are marginal. They either offer a 1% stamina increase, 2% armor increase, 2% more absorb from
Ignore Pain
, which will not make that huge of a difference. The other ones are not useful as far as tanking and doing damage are concerned. You will want to equip relics that offer a 10% bonus to your
Thunder Clap
, if not, you can go with the 6% increased damage to
. These 2 are the best Relics that you want.
Examples of relics:
Tumultous Aftershock
Ravencrest's Wrath
Drop of True Blood
Best in slot gear
These are just some examples of best in slot gear, not necessarily the absolute best, since the way the itemization system works in Legion.
For Mythic+ Dungeons
Warhelm of the Obsidian Aspect
Radiant String of Scorpid Eyes
Shoulderplates of the Obsidian Aspect
Greatcloak of the Obsidian Aspect
Breastplate of the Remembered King
Eternally Recurring Bracers
Kakushan's Stormscale Gauntlets
Thundergod's Vigor
Legplates of the Obsidian Aspect
Leystone-Toe Kickers
Ring 1:
Ring of Ascended Glory
Ring 2:
Twice-Warped Azsharan Signet
Trinket 1:
Infernal Contract
Trinket 2:
Royal Dagger Haft
For raids
There are several useful
items such as:
Prydaz, Xavaric's Magnum Opus
The Walls Fell
Thundergod's Vigor
or even
Mannoroth's Bloodletting Manacles
. They all provide a little bit of extra survivability either directly, or by lowering the cooldown on your defensive abilities.
To see the correct item level that you wish for this items, select the appropirate version of them from wowhead.

(New York) – Verizon on Tuesday (Dec. 28) awarded $6,000 to Island Harvest, representing the fruits of a program that linked sales of Verizon products and services on Long Island to company donations to the food collection agency.
Under the Verizon Velocity program, Verizon made cash donations of up to $65 for each qualifying order from Long Islanders who ordered Verizon products and services from Nov. 1 through the end of the year.
Verizon presented Island Harvest, Long Island's largest hunger-relief organization, a check for the total of those donations. The ceremony took place at Island Harvest's year-end celebration at the Nassau Coliseum in recognition of the organization having met its 2010 goal of collecting 8 million pounds of food.
"Our Velocity program really paid off for Island Harvest," said Elaina Mango, Verizon marketing director for the Northeast. "It provides a great way for Long Islanders to donate to a cause that helps out their neighbors right here on Long Island. The community spirit and passion of Long island residents for a great cause really came out."
In addition to the donation from the Verizon Velocity program, the company has been assisting Island Harvest with its food collections during this holiday season. Verizon and its Long Island employees collected more than 7,000 pounds of food – an average of about 800 pounds per week – at a variety of Verizon-sponsored events across the Island.
"It was so great to see our Long Island employees pitching in and helping out," said Mango. "Food-donation events at Islanders games, the Garden City Turkey trot and at the Tanger Outlet in Deer Park, and the great partnerships we have with stores like Panera Bread, Stop & Shop, Shop Rite and select 7-11 help to solidify the longtime bonds we have with our Long Island communities and customers."
Verizon also collected food at its dozens of garages and offices across the Island, and at its two FiOS stores at 199 Fulton St. in Hempstead, and at 125 Kennedy Drive in Hauppauge.

Click on any state for a list of the best places to propose.
Keep reading for some great proposals that are sure to inspire you.
Why it works: It's surprising but more importantly, its thoughtful. It's well planned but not overdone. The wine and roses are simply symbolic representations of love and affection and the card assured Brian said exactly what he wanted to say. Many men are afraid they will stumble all over themselves in the midst of their crucial moment. A card that has all the carefully premeditated thoughts written down takes away the pressure of the perfect delivery. All she has to do is say yes after she's done processing the beautiful compliments you've given her.
Lisa and Brian Evans / Married: Sept 8, 2001
2) The Karaoke Proposal- Expecting her boyfriend to sing a song, when the DJ called a nervous Anthony onstage to perform he anxiously bent down on one knee and professed his love for Paula in front of all of their friends. The touching spectacle concluded with his popping the question and a bar full of supportive fans applauding Paula's affirmative response.
Why it works: Karaoke bars are a great way to get all of your close friends to go out for an evening of fun and of course, surprises. Moreover, the silly antics of the night's preceding events helps take the pressure off of the pivotal moment. When that time finally arrives for you to propose, post a few rounds of completely botched songs you have nothing else to lose. The whole act is endearing and sentimental, and all of your friends will get to witness the event. Did we forget to mention you generally have the support of the entire audience in the bar? With that many wingmen helping out your cause, chances are Lady Luck is on your side.
Paula and Anthony Birkholz / Married: February 02, 2002
3) Save the Best for Last – Adam selected several packages of fireworks and wrapped them up individually. On the night of the 4th of July he asked Angela to open each one individually. With the first several gifts equally small in size and shape as the last, he watched as Angela's eyes slowly lowered with each passing gift that was not a ring. Just when she'd given up hope Adam switched the last box and when Angela turned to take it from his hand she saw him on his knee holding the beautiful ring box in his hand.
Why it works: It's a private moment for the couple where undivided attention is given to the myriad of gifts. Additionally, her expectancy of a ring with each passing box adds humor to the situation. When she finally opens the box with the ring she will be so overwhelmed and surprised she will have to say yes. This method is highly effective when planned on a special occasion such as a birthday or holiday when presents are commonplace. If you decide to try this on an occasion other than a gift-giving one, be sure to find a way to keep its obviousness concealed. Lastly, this idea leaves the option for creativity entirely open. You can pick and choose different ways to present the gifts, the type of gifts, and of course, how you will disguise the ring box.
Angela and Adam / Married: March 02, 2002
4) I Love XXX – Ken knew his future fiance loved teddy bears. After buying a series of small bears, he purchased two larger bears in the colors of pink and blue. He then tied the ring to the paw of the pink bear and aligned the teddy bears in a row under a log in the Perennial Gardens where the two would later have their date. Ken put the final touch to the male bear's paw, an "I Love You Tiffany" sign. Later that day as Tiffany took her time to enjoy the sights she nearly fainted as she stumbled upon the endearing display. As she turned back to look at Ken he was already on his knees asking her to marry him. It was only after she stammered yes that she noticed their friend Michael recording the whole thing in the background!
Why it works: It's a public display of affection that took time and thought. Also, it incorporated Tiffany's favorite thing; teddy bears. The proposal was entirely sentimental and thoughtful. In addition, Ken was creative in putting the display in an ideal spot that would highlight the bears when they later stumbled upon it together on their date. This means Ken also took additional precautions to find someone to watch the ring, and he even prepared to film the whole thing. Moreover, Ken wasn't afraid of making a public declaration of his love. While his proposal was definitely grand, you, too, could concoct something with an equally powerful impact so long as your woman isn't squeamish towards public displays of affection. Just try to keep in mind some of her favorite things and focus your proposal around how much you care about her interests.
Ken and Tiffany / Married: April 14, 2001
5) Under the Stars- While attending their annual car show in Pismo Beach, Jeremaiah asked Kerri to join him for a walk along the beach to end the day's events. After gazing at the stars and enjoying each other's company the two sat in the sand where Jeremaiah proceeded to write "Will You Marry Me" on Kerri's back. When a befuddled Kerri couldn't quite guess what he was spelling out Jeremaiah resorted to writing it out in the sand. But the dark night prevented Kerri from understanding once again. As she leaned over trying to decipher the sandy message Jeremaiah got down on his knee and proposed right then and there.
Why it works: It's sincere. His nervousness and adoration are evident from the way he tries to ask her in a very concealed yet tender way. He touches her back and shows his tender playful side but is cautious enough not to ask directly. Then he resorts to the traditional romantic message in the sand. Jeremiah's message is nothing short of endearing and completely effective despite its simplicity. It's the realistic romanticism that makes this type of proposal an attractive selection.
Keri and Jeremiah / Married: March 31, 2001
6) Traffic Jam- While Jeni and Sean were vacationing in New Jersey over Christmas break, they decided to sight see in New York. After spending an entire day in New York doing the touristy thing, the two headed to Times Square with Jeni's mother. Suddenly Sean asked Jeni's mother to take a picture of the couple, in the middle of a small median on the street. After Jeni hopped off the ledge Sean had propped her on for the photo, she began to look in her bag. When she looked up Sean was on his knee with all of Time Square honking their approval at his romantic gesture.
Why it Works. Similar to the Karaoke proposal, Sean rallied the support of the public. He's making a statement loud and clear that he loves this woman and intends to spend his life with her. Sean's proposal is simple and sweet and incorporates Jeni's mother, also very important. If a mother and daughter are very close its always a good idea to try to ensure the mother is present when you finally pop the question. Her approval will only help persuade the night to go as you wish.
Jeni and Sean Married: August 25, 2001

While out hiking, I saw several deer, a frog, and lots of deer tracks. The leaves are falling to the ground quickly and it's getting difficult to see the trail through the layer of dead leaves. Despite the hidden trail, I love the crunch of leaves underfoot.

DURHAM – Jeffrey Hirst Johnson was born September 27, 1943 in Chickasha, Oklahoma, to Dr. Max Edwards Johnson and Mildred Suffield Johnson. Jeffrey grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana, attending St. Martin's School and Tulane University, where he received his B.A. in philosophy. A true New Orleanian, he loved good music, good food, and good beer.
In conjunction with his love of music, he became an expert in acoustical and broadcast engineering. Among other accomplishments, he helped to build the Tulane radio station in the 1960s and, in the 1970s, designed several audio components that were patented by Braun, AG. He was a member of the Audio Engineering Society and AAAS. Jeffrey's other love was philosophical theology.
Returning from several years in Germany where he worked for Braun, Jeffrey enrolled in Virginia Theological Seminary, where he earned an M.T.S. degree in 1981. There, he met Katherine Bradley. They were married in 1981, and later made their home in Durham. Jeffrey's first book is called "Build Your Own Low-Cost Data Acquisition and Display Devices" TAB 1994. The idea for this volume grew out of his work with electronic instrumentation in research laboratories at Duke University.
Jeffrey supported and inspired the servant ministries of the church, especially the recovery of the diaconate in the Episcopal Church. He also served for several years in the capacity of reader for the General Ordination Examinations. His second book, in progress at his death, is a work of theology tentatively titled "The Clod and the Pebble". After several years of failing health, Jeffrey died on March 3, 2008. He is survived by his wife, The Rev. Katherine Bradley Johnson, his sister, Marylin Johnson Raisch and her husband Charles, a niece and a nephew, as well as several cousins. The burial service will be held at St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, Hillsborough, on Saturday, March 8, at 3:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be offered either to St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, P.O. Box 628, Hillsborough, NC 27278; or to Virginia Theological Seminary, 3737 Seminary Rd., Alexandria, VA 22304.
Online condolences may be sent to www.hallwynne.com, select obituaries.
Arrangements are entrusted to Hall-Wynne Funeral Service.

Positive Autistic identity is at the heart of our Autistic children's ability to achieve and sustain emotional well being.
Autism is not an add on or something a person has. This means we cannot separate autism from our child and love them, but not "it". My son is Autistic and I love that he is Autistic; it is part of his identity.
Parenting a child who struggles with extreme anxiety is particularly tough at times. And at these times; we as Parents can feel hurt too. But never like our children do; our struggle is never as great as theirs. None of us always get this right, I know I don't. I am not always as patient as I aim to be and I dont always say or do things in the way I would like to. However, I absolutely believe that loving all that my boy is, is fundamental to his well being. I believe that he will, with our support, find ways of managing his anxiety for himself one day. Until then, we hold space for him that is safe, kind, gentle, empowering and proud.
That safe space needs to include the words we use in relation to being Autistic too, even when we think he can't hear us. Our feelings as Parents are important too and I believe in the importance of self care and self compassion very much. But our job as parents is always to lift our children up and if they are Autistic, that includes celebrating their Autistic identity.
For me, my son's Autsitic identity is as intrinsic as my female identity.
I wonder how I, or you, would feel if my, or your, Mother said:
I love my daughter, but I hate that she's a girl.
What would this do to our self worth?
If you can imagine that for a moment and then consider the phrase
I love my child, but I hate Autism.
The two phrases have the same meaning and the same effect.
And this is devastating!
On Autsitic Pride Day I celebrate my boy and promise him that I will never forget the power my words carry and I will always love every part of his Autistic identity.
I will always do this and one day he too will communicate his own Autistic pride.

When thoughts turned to potato chip flavor innovation at Wise Foods, Inc., executives looked to a platform that's trusted, trending and offers great taste experiences — food trucks.
"Food trucks can be anything, and they're increasing our food variety," explains Jeremy Bjork, chief marketing officer at Wise. "They can have fantastic chefs and cooks, and they provide lots of discovery. Plus, there's only so much brick and mortar that can be developed out there."
In fact, the National Restaurant Association estimates food trucks generate $650 million in annual revenue, roughly 1 percent of U.S. restaurant sales. Research firm Intuit reports market share could jump to 3 or 4 percent in the next five years. "In other words, food trucks are not a fad but a viable market segment with significant competitive advantages over quick-serve, fast-food and take-out food vendors," Intuit reports.
The results of this inspiration are Wise's two new chip flavors: Beef Barbacoa and Loaded Chili Cheese Dog, part of the new Food Truck Favorites line.
"We worked with our sales team, searching for tried and true food trucks, along with what's hot and new," Bjork says. They determined that Papaya King, a hot dog and tropical fruit drink purveyor with stores and trucks in New York, and "up-and-coming" Northeast of the Border, a truck serving Mexican food in Boston, were offering the right combination of what they sought.
The chips, launched in April, play well with millennials, along with a range of ages that frequent food trucks, Bjork tells Candy & Snack TODAY.
Potato chips carry the flavors well, he says, because, as a base, they are not overpowering. "We went through numerous iterations to get the flavors to pop right." Since consumers enjoy discovery, he says the plan is to refresh the flavors with new introductions twice per year.
As part of the truck tie-in, truck owners that inspired the flavors are pictured on the back of chip bags, to help support their businesses and promote authenticity, as well as a sense of community. In return, truck owners promote the chips through social media channels. CST

Girl's Day's Hyeri Apologizes After Receiving Criticism for Mocking BEAST at 2014 MMA
Girl's Day member Hyeri recently offered a message of apology through her personal Twitter account for appearing to have mocked BEAST during the 2014 Melon Music Awards, which took place on November 13.
After a video clip of Hyeri seeming to imitate Dongwoon of BEAST—as they were on stage to receive an award—began to spread through online communities, the Girl's Day member received criticism for behavior toward her senior group.
Following the initial posting of the video, it started to gain more attention as many fans viewed her actions as being ill-mannered for mimicking Dongwoon after he said, "Hello, we are BEAST," during the group's acceptance speech. It has also been pointed out that when Dongwoon expressed, "We will work harder to become singers that gain even more popularity," Hyeri appears to laugh as she turns to Sojin and mouths, "Popularity?"
On December 22, Hyeri took to her Twitter and sent a direct tweet to Dongwoon's account, apologizing, "Sunbae-nim [senior], you know that I'm a big BEAST fan that even went to your concert, right…:-( [The incident] happened because I couldn't contain my excitement for your award, but I apologize to those who were offended. I'm sorry. ㅜㅜ I will be more careful in the future, please understand me lovingly." The tweet has since been deleted.
Check out the video clip that caused the issue (begins at 4:40 and 4:55):

Cool Cornstore
It is just past 6.30pm on a Friday evening and Cork's Cornstore restaurant is already abuzz. But still time for a warm welcome and soon we are at our table studying the various menus. I asked the waiter was he expecting a busy night. "Ah, not too bad," he said. "About two hundred." Cool or what? But he and the rest of the Cornstore crew sure know how to run the popular Cornmarket Street venue with equal measures of efficiency and friendliness.
The Cork restaurant, they also have one in Limerick, prides itself on its steaks and seafood. The aged steaks here are top notch but we turned our attention to the fish on Friday night. I went straight to the water with their Haddock Mussels (€10.50), a delectable balance of textures and flavours and a spoon (didn't have to ask!) available to scoop up the sauce.
Meanwhile CL was tucking in, enthusiastically, to a favourite of hers: Goats cheese tart
with fig jam, roast red pepper and sun dried tomato pesto (9.50). The pastry was beautifully crispy, packed with flavours.
|From left: Hake, Sea Bass, Cheese.
So we were off and running and getting into the wine. They have something of a "sale" at the moment and we got the Chilean Crucero (Chardonnay) for thirty euro instead of the normal forty. Aromatic, fruity, with refreshing acidity and with a good finish, it turned out to be a very enjoyable bottle indeed.
Of course, if you are at the Cornstore, you must check out their extensive cocktail menu. We had a couple at the end. Mine was High Society: Beefeater gin, peach schnapps, Campari
and grapefruit juice - light, bright and lovely! CL picked the Balsamicotini (try saying that quickly at the end of the night!) and this serious mix consists of Grey Goose vodka, fresh strawberries, balsamico, fresh basil, fresh lime juice, cranberry juice and strawberry syrup.
By that time, we had dispatched the mains. Hers was the Pan seared seabass on a potato rosti with roast organic pumpkin, spinach, and a carrot and orange reduction (€22.95) while I picked the Oven roast hake on braised fennel, potatoes, pappardelle of carrot, lemon beurre blanc and a prawn oil (€19.95). Both were superb. We didn't quite finish off the plates (you get vegetables on the side as well) but portions are Irish size here!
No dessert as such but we did share a well picked Cheese Platter (including Cashel Blue) with chutney, apple, celery and grapes. Nice and tasty finish. Cocktail time!

text: We are so excited to bring lots of new toys and activities to the shop...right on time for the holiday season! Have you seen what's new in the store? \r\n\r\nWay to Play Rubber Roads\r\n\r\n These rubber play roads are so fun! They are designed in the Netherlands and made in Germany. There are endless ways to play with the sets, and even better, they are both flexible to stay together over bumps, and they're washable! You can take them in the backyard, to the beach, or use them in the playroom. We only have a limited quantity of these (since we bring them all the way to California!), so grab your set while they're here. \r\n\r\n\r\nWee Gallery Baby Items\r\n\r\n We love the black and white scandinavian-style artwork that makes Wee Gallery unique. The bold lines are perfect for babies who are still developing their eyesight. Even better, the blankets, lovies, and rattles are all organic! \r\n\r\n\r\nPetit Collage New for Fall\r\n\r\n We have been fans of Petit Collage for a long time, and always look forward to their latest releases. We love the new baby items and look at the adorable elephant doodle board! Petit Collage uses sustainable materials and prints on soy ink, so it is great to know they are eco-sensitive, too. \r\n\r\n\r\nLe Toy Van Play Food\r\n\r\nThere are so many options out there for play food, but we love these wooden sets because they are bright, fun, and offer a new take on pretend food sets. These toys are designed in England. Aren't they adorable? They would make an adorable addition to the play kitchen!\r\n\r\n\r\nPuzzles \u0026amp; Games\r\n\r\nWe always love puzzles and games, and have added some really beautiful ones to the shop. We especially love the Rainbow Friends Puzzle, Arctic Life Puzzle, Adventure Puzzle and Flora and Friends Matching Game (but who are we kidding? They're all great!)\r\n\r\n\r\nArt Supplies\r\n\r\n We adore the bright, happy, and fun art supplies by Ooly. Little ones can't wait to get their hands on these attractive sets! How cute would it be to put together a rainbow-themed gift for a special little one? \r\n\r\n\r\nWe hope you love the newest additions to our shop!

An erupting demonstration was given at the Fort Frances Public Library Technology Centre on Thursday afternoon during a "Mad Science Day" live show. Connie Schwartz, a chemistry teacher at Confederation College here, showed the group of kids and adults many cool science experiments, such as chemicals that change colour when shaken and then left to rest and how to make "Magic Mud" (a substance that acts like a liquid when resting or moving but solidifies once you slap, punch, or squeeze it). The show was topped off by a demonstration of what happens when a roll of Mentos candy is dropped into a two-litre bottle of Diet Coke. Schwartz said it is still unknown why the reaction is caused or why it works best with Diet Coke, but what is known is that the sticky and fizzy burst is an exciting science day must (with supervision, of course).

Another name for Shrove Tuesday is Pancake Day. Long ago this was a day for feasting and having a good time. As rich foods such as eggs were forbidden during Lent, one way of using them up would be to make pancakes.
Many people make pancakes on Shrove Tuesday and as a school we enjoyed the pancakes that our PTA made for us- thank you!

"To score from that position was great, he's a quick player and it's not just physical speed, it's also speed of thought," said Steve Coppell regarding Shane Long's goal from an acute angle.
"Not too many people would have tried to score from there."
Coppell also handed Adam Federici a debut in goal and he was happy with the keeper's performance at The Madejski Stadium.
He added: "I thought he made a couple of excellent saves."
Burnley boss Steve Cotterill bemoaned his teams defending.
"We were never going to get anything from the game with that defending, but, having said that, if we'd taken our chances, we could have won the game 5-3 or more.
"It was a spirited fightback, but too late in the day, as we gave away three poor goals.
"I'm probably more disappointed with our defending than our finishing.
"The Long goal was a superb finish and I don't want to take anything away from him, but I'm talking about the build-up to it, that was very poor from our point of view."

Reeds support Stein Foundation Golf Day
Through our connections to both individual Footballers and Clubs, Reeds were fortunate to be invited to participate in the Stein Foundation golf day at the prestigious Woburn Golf Club.
The Foundation educates young and disadvantaged people through sport, both in the UK and in Cape Town, South Africa, and Reeds were delighted to be able to support this charity.
Our very own John Lamb, Neil Jarvis, Mark Abbott and Darren Brockett teamed up with ex-Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Rangers & England player Graham Roberts, in order to pit their wits against World Cup Winner Ossie Ardiles, Ricky Villa, Alan Curbishley, Alan Smith and many more on the Dukes Course.
A very respectable third place was awarded; no doubt thanks to the expert caddying skills on display.
Whilst much fun was had by all, most importantly over £15,000 was raised for the charity.

As if dating was not hard enough, men seem to be drawn to women who are socially considered gorgeous. Now, it is not known specifically what constitutes someone as gorgeous but the same few features are usually involved; a banging body, long hair (according to Patty Stanger) and the ultimate key to the puzzle: someone who is wanted by many, many, many men. When you finally land that gorgeous girl all seems right in the world, nothing could go wrong but oh, wait; now you have to maintain her. This means dealing with your relationship along with dealing with the ups and downs of dating a girl that is considered gorgeous.
Having a hot girlfriend can be more trouble than it is worth, especially when dealing with things like other guys (including your friends) trying to steal your girl like she is some kind of conquest, but also having to deal with a girl whose head may be so blown up that on top of treating you like crap, she expects you to fund her lifestyle that normally includes going out, drinking, partying and shopping. The cons seem to outweigh the pros when dating a pretty girl, and it is a struggle that no one expects until it happens to them. Here are a few struggles to expect when dating a gorgeous babe.
12. Jealousy Will Rear Its Ugly Head
There is only so much one can take when dating a gorgeous gal; eventually any sane man may begin to feel a tinge of jealousy which is both normal and acceptable. Unfortunately for you, it is also unflattering to a girl who is used to playing the hot girlfriend role. Beautiful women have stigma behind them, people believe that they are dating people for money, have no brain in their head and lack any kind of moral compass all because they are gorgeous. While all these accusations are unfounded, it is almost a promise that at some point in your relationship one of these traits will be the reason for your jealousy.
11. All Eyes Are Always On Her
You have officially become invisible. Your girlfriend is so gorgeous that she consumes all of the attention wherever you guys go. If you are a secure man then you will love that other people are eyeing your girlfriend, you are proud to show her off and she is proud to be shown off. Sometimes the looks can get disturbing and even overbearing but most of the time there is a great chance that you are loving that you have the envy of fellow men as you parade your hot (and equally high maintenance) girlfriend down the street.
10. Trust Can Be An Issue
You may not be able to believe a word that comes out of her mouth; while this is sad and technically your own hang up, she ends up suffering because you do not feel secure in your own life. Having a girlfriend that society considers hot can have its ups and down, simply because there could be a line of guys waiting for your girlfriend to dump you, you may feel as though she is taking on a few extracurricular activities. Then again it could all be in your head and your mistrust is what could ultimately force her to start doing some of the things you have been accusing her of.
9. She Knows She Is Hot
The deal with dating a hot girl is she knows she is hot, and she will always think she is hot and can use her looks for just about anything. It will be easier for her to move on when she is ready and leave you in the dust whereas, you may be more inclined to beg for her to come back or put up with her crap simply because she is beautiful. The minute that you try to bruise her ego you can guarantee that she will shut you down and just as quickly tell you how many other guys she could get that are better than you.
8. You Are Only Dating Her Because She Is Hot
Deny it all you want, there are plenty of people in the world that will only date someone because they are hot. While this reality is sad it is quite common. You are blinded by her looks and all the stares you guys get when you are together that you cannot see past the idea that she may not be the right person for you. Everyone wants to parade around a spouse that they know other people find attractive, however, keep in mind that you are risking being bored, annoyed, unsatisfied and unfulfilled for a long time if not the rest of your life because you chose looks over personality. Think about it; if she is all about her looks she may end up leaving you because she found someone hotter.
7. It Is Easier To Date Other Hot Girls
You get a slight confidence boost after dating a hot girl; usually there are two things that would normally happen; 1. Other hot girls see you with an equally hot girl and they think "what does he have that is making her want to be with him?" and 2; He is thinking "I got one hot girl; it cannot be hard to get another". However, your confidence boost may come mostly from snagging your second or third hot chick in a row. There is something that happens in a woman's head when she sees a guy with another hot girl; he automatically becomes an object of desire whether he wants to be or not.
6. She May Actually Be Smarter Than You
So you doubted her intellect and now you are kicking yourself. Not every pretty face is lacking a brain; once you have realized that she has some smarts you are starting to sweat a bit. She challenges you intellectually and you find that you have to keep up with her. She is not easily impressed by facts that may have impressed your other girlfriends that you no doubt are quoting from Wikipedia. She is educated, classy and knows that she does not have to use her looks to get ahead in life, God has simply just blessed her with this added bonus.
5. There Is A Chance You Will Always Be Broke
If you do find yourself dating one of the hot girls that are all about shopping, money, partying and wearing barely-there outfits, then be prepared to spend your hard earned dollar funding her habits. She likes to club, drink, get all dolled up (hair, nails, makeup) and go out on the town with her friends. For some reason she thinks it is your responsibility to pay for her good time, ultimately she is so damn hot that how could you not want to pay to keep her around? Her high maintenance attitude is a lot to deal with but somehow you are willing to because hey, she fills out that dress so well.
4. Beware Of The Protective Older (Or Younger) Sibling
Siblings can be a terror for potential boyfriends; whether it is the protective, muscular older brother or the miserable sister who is absolutely no nonsense. Either way there is a good chance that if the girl you are dating is considered a hot commodity you may have a problem with her overprotective siblings. You could be a great guy with great intentions but unfortunately for you, there have been some real losers in the past that she has gone home and cried about, and her siblings have had to come to the rescue. Watch your back; if you fail to break the ice with them in the beginning, you may never get another chance to do it.
3. Prepare To Get Into Random Fights
Because your girlfriend is so good looking she attracts the attention of a whole bunch of random guys who could quite frankly care less that she is in a committed, solid, loving relationship. You may have to use excessive force so those random guys can get it through their thick skulls that your girlfriend is simply not up for grabs. Men love a challenge, so as many times as you say "no" or "she is taken", there will always be that one guy who is up for that challenge. Get ready to throw some effective right hooks; if she is truly worth it.
2. You Feel Insecure
So, you have accomplished finding the "girl of your dreams", and you could not be any happier; then that unsettling feeling starts to hit you, other guys are looking at her, then looking at you, then back at her. You begin to question if she is really into you; you want to know specifically what she likes about you and why she is in this relationship with you. You discuss her ex-boyfriends and question why none of them look like you; what if you are not her type and she is just wasting your time by dating out of her usual preference for s***'s and giggles.
1. Guys Will Always Hit On Her
Most men like the attention of a girl; if she is socially considered a "hot" girl, then that is considered a bonus to them. Every guy likes to feel as though they can obtain that hot girl especially when they have that liquid courage in them and are in a crowded bar where there rejection may not be widely noticed. Here is where it gets tricky; they find it more of a challenge when they find out that she has a serious boyfriend and they try even harder to steal her away from her man. It is crucial that you keep your composure and show confidence during this time; not only does it kind of scare the guy away, but it demonstrates trust in your relationship, and you can only look like a great boyfriend at this point.
