If you must be mad, be it not for the things of the world. Be mad with the love of God. Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa (1836-1886)
Bliss is the dance-stage, bliss is the lyric;Bliss are the diverse instruments,Bliss is the meaning;The supreme felicity of the universe is bliss,For he who yearns for His dance of bliss.Tirumantiram a sacred mystical treatise by Rishi Tirumular, verse v. 2725
When I think of myself as a body, I am your servant, my Lord; when I think of myself as an individual soul, I am part of you; but when I realize I am atman, you and I become one. Hanuman in the epic Ramayana
A great thing about being an archeologist is that you are always doing ground-breaking research. Anonymous
All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything. All is God. But you cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself. Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902), disciple of Sri Ramakrishna
The Sanskrit language, whatever be its antiquity, is of wonderful structure, more perfect than the Greek, more copious than the Latin and more exquisitely refined than either. Sir William Jones (1746-1794), English philologist, the first to propose Indo-European as a common root between these languages
Go beyond science, into the region of metaphysics. Real religion is beyond argument. It can only be lived simultaneously inwardly and outwardly. Swami Sivananda (1887-1963), founder of the Divine Life Society, Rishikesh
To later generations of the faithful, what was written in fluctuating circumstances has assumed the status of immutable truth. To suggest that supernatural stories are allegorical can be considered a radical position in even the most liberal precincts of the Christian world. Yes, faith requires a willing suspension of disbelief; I do it myself all the time. But that is a different thing from the suspension of reason and critical intelligence--faculties that tell us that something is not necessarily the case simply because it is written down somewhere or repeated over and over. Jon Meacham, American journalist, Editor of Newsweek

This body of mine brought seeds with it. Illness is one of them. Activity passes on and so does the body. Of what concern is it to us? All this was settled long ago. Don't be afraid of anything. Satguru Siva Yogaswami (1872-1964), Sri Lankan mystic
There are three rules to live a serene life: be kind, be kind, be kind. Henry James (1843-1916), American-born English writer

The cultured give happiness wherever they go. The uncultured whenever they go. Anonymous
Take care of other's needs, and your needs will be taken care of; take care of other's prosperity, and your prosperity will be taken care of; take care of other's moksha, and your moksha will be taken care of. Serve the poor; feed the hungry, care for the sick, go from door to door to see what their problems are. This is the only path to peace. These are the commands of all spiritual masters. There is nothing else you need to know. The secret lies simply in implementation. Swami Satyananda Saraswati (1923-2009), disciple of Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh
The contemplation of celestial things will make a man both speak and think more sublimely and magnificently when he descends to human affairs. Marcus Tullius Cicero(106-43 bce), Roman statesman
The good-and-bad concept should be thrown out with a lot of other things, including the up-and-down concept. There is no good; there is no bad. You don't raise your consciousness, nor do you lower it. These are just concepts that have come in by various philosophers who tried to explain these deeper teachings the very best that they could. What is bad is good, and what is good is good. And a higher state of consciousness and a lower state of consciousness, they don't exist at all. We simply hold a certain perspective of awareness, and we look out, and we go in. Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami (1927-2001), founder of Hinduism Today

My distant cousin, Dr. Caleb Noble Ormsby, was born on August 19, 1801 in Paris, NY. We are both descendants of Richard and Sarah (Upham) Ormsby, who came to America from England in probably the late 1630's. Not much can be found about his early life. He graduated from Fairfield Medical College in Herkimer, NY.
Dr. Ormsby came to Michigan in about 1824 and settled in Lenawee County, being the only physician in Tecumseh until 1927. In the spring of that year he, in his role as justice of the peace, performed what was supposedly the first wedding ceremony among the white settlers in Lenewee County. There were no settled clergyman in the territory closer than Monroe or Detroit. Soon after, Dr. Ormsby moved to Adrian, becoming the town's first physician and built the first frame house in the village, at the southwest corner of Winter and Maumee streets. It was there that his first wife, Amelia Ann (Wilcox), died on October 7, 1834. She was only 27 years old.
Dr. Ormsby moved to Ann Arbor, where where he became largely interested in milling and manufacturing. and was an active leader of the Free Soil Party. In 1836, he married Desire Brown, whose first husband had died. Ormsby became involved in a real estate venture called Ormsby and Fuller, with his new wife and her brother, Edward Fuller. They sold house lots to settlers streaming into Michigan, in the Lower Town area of Ann Arbor. Lower Town was one of the first-settled neighborhoods of Ann Arbor. In June of 1837, they sold lots 10 and 11 on Wall Street to Nathan Burnham for $600. Much more about the history of the Nathan Burnham House can be read here: http://bit.ly/d0W4yw
But, misfortunes crushed him financially, and in 1849, on the rise of the gold excitement out west, he started overland for California. He was delayed all winter at Salt Lake, and in the summer of 1850, he finally reached California by way of Los Angeles. Dr. Ormsby was in San Francisco in the time of the cholera epidemic and the first vigilance committee, a group of private citizens who organized themselves for self-protection. He soon went to the mines near Hangtown, in Eldorado county, where for several years, he worked in the mines. He was never successful as a miner though.
In 1857, Dr. Ormsby decided to leave California and start the return journey home to Michigan. He boarded a ship and headed to Panama City, took a four-hour train trip on the Panama Railway across Panama, and then readied to board another ship for the remainder of the journey. His friend, Judge William Cross stated, "When in Panama, he wrote me that he had a pleasant time on the Pacific Ocean, and hoped to soon be in Michigan." But, he would never make it back home to Michigan.
The SS Central America, sometimes called the Ship of Gold, was a 280-foot side-wheel steamship that operated between Central America and the eastern coast of the United States during the 1850s. She was operated by the United States Mail Steamship Company. From 1852 to 1857, it is estimated that the ship transported one-third of the entire California Gold Rush output.
On September 3, 1857, Dr. Ormsby was on board the SS Central America as it left Aspinwall, Panama. (For a number of years early in its history, the sizable United States emigrant community called the town Aspinwell after Panama Railroad promoter William Henry Aspinwall, while the city's Hispanic community called it Colón, in honor of Christopher Columbus.) The ship was carrying 476 passengers, 102 crew members, and over 3 tons of gold.
After a stop in Havana, the ship continued north on the morning of September 8th, with clear weather and every indication of a pleasant passage. But, the weather began to change on the 9th, with increased winds.
On the morning of September 11th, during the second day of a hurricane, the steamer had begun to take on water. The ship was tossing violently, making it virtually impossible to feed coal into the boilers. At 11 a.m., the captain told passengers that the ship was in danger and enlisted the aid of all men to bail water with a bucket brigade. By 1:00 in the afternoon, the rising water in the hold had quenched the boiler fires, and the ship's immense paddle wheels came to a halt.
On Saturday the 12th, the weather showed signs of calming, but too much damage had been done to the ship. The SS Central America sank at about 8 p.m. that evening, about 160 miles east of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, drowning a total of 426 passengers and crew, including Dr. Caleb Noble Ormsby. The gold loss further shook public confidence in the economy and contributed to the Panic of 1857. Much more about that fateful voyage can be read here.
Caleb's wife, Desire, passed away on July 25, 1903 in Brooklyn, NY.
*Some of Caleb Ormsby's biological information came from a sketch prepared for and intended to be read at the pioneer reunion at Tecumseh, Wednesday, June 12th, 1878, by Judge William H. Cross, of Centreville, St. Joseph County.

WH Ireland chief executive Paul Compton has resigned from the firm.
The corporate broker and wealth manager said Compton (pictured) had decided to stand down with immediate effect and the firm has replaced him with head of private wealth management Richard Killingbeck.
In a brief statement to the stock market, WH Ireland gave no reason for Compton's seemingly sudden departure.
Compton recently spoke to Wealth Manager of his ambitions for the firm to outline his plans to move WH Ireland from its roots as a traditionally stockbroking-led business into the largest corporate broking firm on the alternative investment market (AIM), and as part of this strategy bought the assets of failed Pritchard Stockbroker.
Moreover, Compton's plan looked to be falling into place when it last spoke to investors. WH Ireland's most recent set of results showed a turnover 10.5% higher year-on-year and liquid cash of over £5 million.
Pre-tax profit moved slightly lower however this was the result of the firm absorbing the costs of the Pritchard acquisition, and in the same period the firm took the decision to expand into the regions.
Killingbeck, whose appointment as Compton's successor is still subject to regulatory approval, will no doubt take over this mantle for change.
He was hired by WH Ireland in September this year as its head of wealth, moving over from Credit Suisse where he worked as a managing director.

mDNS for Android in UNITY3D -- 3
Budget ₹1500-12500 INR
I have a linux (ubuntu 14.04) system which is running avahi-daemon for providing mDNS service. E.g. if the hostname of the linux box is "zz", when the client issues a request like "ping [url removed, login to view]" from the terminal, the mDNS would resolve the name [url removed, login to view] to its IP address. I am unable to resolve the host "[url removed, login to view]" in android system. I need multicast DNS listener for android , which will be able to use mDNS properly. Android is not able to find broadcast network by name. I have to enter IP Address of the network. I want Android to find the network by name and connect to it.
Implement Search and Connect with mDNS [url removed, login to view] native Android code.
Make native plugin and interface with c# for Unity3D.
Or provide working mDNS code in c# (Unity3D) for Android.
Test for Android.

1. Re: Jersey descriptors in test package and REST testingDan Allen May 5, 2012 2:09 PM (in response to Dan Allen)
Here's the post on the Arquillian forums about the REST extension: https://community.jboss.org/thread/199281
2. Re: Jersey descriptors in test package and REST testingAndrew Rubinger May 5, 2012 3:04 PM (in response to Dan Allen)
Any particular action item for SWD in mind now?
3. Re: Jersey descriptors in test package and REST testingDan Allen May 6, 2012 3:02 PM (in response to Andrew Rubinger)
Mostly, it was just a heads up, perhaps as motivation to touch base with the Jersey team to see if ShrinkWrap Descriptors might be something they'd be interested in using and advocating.
More specifically, the action item is to write a follow-up blog that demonstrates how the Arquillian REST extension (just setup) and ShrinkWrap Descriptors can be used to simplify this example further. I find these types of blogs to be very useful because they help people understand what where aiming to achieve (i.e., we are revelant to you the reader) and they also paint a picture of how much simpler (and portable) the test can be.
...so, I would start by creating a sample project (either locally or in a samples repo) that we can polish up in preparation for a blog. We've gotten a lot of feedback that developers need to see more of what this platform can do, so these focused blog entries (call it a series) can really help with that education.

Hey guys,
How was your weekend? Mine was an incredible! I spent the past 3 days on a buying trip through rural Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri. The weather was perfect, the scenery was beautiful, and the people were super nice and friendly. I'm kicking myself for forgetting my camera, but oh well. I'll go back soon : ).
Naturally, I bought tons of great vintage. Next months Sisters of the Black Moon auctions will be mindblowing! I can't wait to drop this batch off to them in early November. Sister Sara will be in town then, so hopefully I'll get to meet her!
Anyway, there's no shortage of awesome till then. Here are some beauties the Sisters listed on Friday, sourced by yours truly:
All that glitters. This vintage romper came from the estate of a gal who was a circus performer in the 50s and 60s. This was one of her costumes! It's totally smocked on the underside, so it has tons of stretch in every direction. Loaded with metallic gold sequins + has a metal zipper up the back. This is perfect for a glam rock inspired look. here
Insanely rare find! Semi sheer light cotton and metallic gold 1920s floral print party dress. 20s evening dresses made of cotton are a rarity, and usually originate from Belgium or France; this likely had a designer label at once point. From a prominent Wichita Falls, TX estate (the wealthiest American city at one point in the 20s, thanks to oil $$$). V neck w/ capelet collar, shirred sides @ drop waistline, geometric paneled skirting, and a subtle fishtail / asymmetric hem. If you're after museum quality and wearable look no further. Great size too! here
Gypsy witch! Late 80s/90s burnout velvet jacket in a kimono inspired style. Gorgeous winter floral print, sequin accents, and beaded/tasseled fringe. Perfect for layering w/ basic black. here
Red hot. Sexy 60s/70s mod mini dress. Subtle a-line cut w/ plunging v neck. Zips down the back. Wear it as is for a rock & roll bad girl look, or wear a long sleeved knit top underneath for a sharp mod look. here
Angel of the east. 70s Indian inspired mini w/ lavish pink embroidery, dramatic sleeves, and lil' buttons along the shoulder seams. The best! here
Ultimate find! Avant garde 80s wrap mohair sweater from iconic designer Pierre Cardin. Deep v neckline, dramatic dolman sleeves, and side tie. Super soft + perfect for the season. Gorgeous deep purple too. here
Anna Sui vintage inspired lovely. Babydoll style w/ empire waist. Lil' ties at the sides. Sheer cream/black floral silk w/ cream lining. So precious! here
Ooooh yeah! 60s/70s cream colored canvas boots. Stacked heel + front lacing. Below the knee length. Great earthy look. A must have. here
Perfect fall floral. 80s/90s palazzo pant rayon romper. Soft fluid silhouette. Such a dream. here
With a print this bright and cheerful, you can't help but smile. Different kind of crystal healing! Super cute 60s/70s cotton mini in a gemstone and gold print. Pristine condition. here
60s babydoll mini w/ fringe hem. Perfect shades of deep red in the rose print. Imagine this paired with some black Louboutins! Parisian style romantic elegance. here
Here are a few stunners the sisters sourced on their own too:
70s dolly bell sleeve mini in a patchwork print. V neck + empire waistline + self belting. So beautiful! here
70s southwestern/geometric print micro mini dress. Perfect color combo. Comes with it's original matching belt even. So cute! here
Ugh! Why can't I find a piece like this for myself?!?!? Amazing 60s/70s faux fur leopard print cape w/ toggle front closure. Channel your inner Blair Waldorf and STRUT PROUDLY. here
I love vintage fraternal order robes, and this 70s disco mini w/ attached cape reminds me of them. Therefore I love it too. It also reminds me of the Virgen de Guadalupe >
You could go as a sexy version of her for Halloween, yes? YES. Good. Go here then.
There's lots of cute stuff ending today too. Don't miss out!
xoxo, SJ

You may have liked our map for tracking for Houston-area representatives, but felt left out being from San Antonio or the Rio Grande valley. We have not forgotten about you.
Instructions: Put your mouse cursor over a district, when the representative's name appears, click it to see Texas on the Potomac's latest coverage of that lawmaker.
Zoom buttons will appear in the top left corner of the map, if you need help selecting those smaller districts in central Houston. To return to the original view, click on the home button in that panel.
Clicking on the actual districts will highlight that district's shape, a useful tool to explore some of odd patterns districts have taken. To return to an original view, click anywhere on the map where there is no district.
Did you see our coverage of four border district representatives who wrote a letter to Mexico asking for water for drought-stricken Texas residents? Reps. Henry Cuellar, Pete Gallego, Ruben Hinojosa, and Filemon Vela all signed the letter.
Or, perhaps you want to keep track of Pete Gallego, the winner of Texas' most competitive November election, and his stance on the hot immigration reform proposals.
If you click on the districts, you can appreciate the sometimes amusing shapes they have taken due to gerrymandering. Did you see our post on perhaps the most gerrymandered Texas district, represented by Lloyd Doggett?
Not everyone can have exciting, controversial news. Perhaps you missed that Mike Conaway, along with Bill Flores, joined the 12-person accountant caucus on Capitol hill?
We encourage south Texans and San Antonio residents to bookmark this page, so they can track their favorite (or least favorite) representatives.
Those in the northern and western parts of Texas need not fret–a third map will be coming soon.

There is a fast-spreading pedigree kitten scam doing the rounds. Scamsters are using the name and cattery name of registered breeders, creating credible-looking email addresses and are marketing kittens at exorbitant prices and even more exorbitant shipping fees. Of course the kittens do not exist and once payment has been received, the 'breeder' vanishes and the number no longer works. Some complainants have mentioned "West Africa/French accents" when they did, in early phases of the buying process, spoken to these fraudulent "breeders".
We urge you to please do due diligence and confirm email addresses and telephone numbers of breeders with the 3 South African cat registration bodies before responding to any adverts. If what is seen in an advert or email differs from what the registration bodies' supply, BE AWARE! All reputable breeders would have to be registered with at least one of these bodies. Also see http://www.kittycat.co.za/warning-kitten-scams/


text: By the time Mallory and Jason met, each of them had climbed more mountains and ran more miles on streets and trails than most people do in a lifetime. They are genuine and child-like souls who have found in one another the ultimate soulmate and partner. They smile and laugh effortlessly. For their wedding they wanted a place that expressed them. Trois Estates at Enchanted Rock is the perfect background — set in and blended with nature; eye shot from classic camping, hiking, and climbing; and designed by a free-spirit who built it from the ground up stone by stone. Congrats Mallory and Jason!

Just a little FYI if you encounter this: MacRumors user durlecs was having a problem scheduling rss2email with launchd, Mac OS's built in replacement for cron and other UNIX services. It looks like he/she got it working in the end by adding the path to Python into the PATH environment variable.
Mac OS, rss2email and scheduling with launchd
Version 2.71 Release plus Other Major Updates
Good news everyone! Two important tools that rss2email depends on have recently received major upgrades: feedparser and html2text. These should improve rss2email's ability to handle feeds with poorly formed HTML and other weirdness.
The rss2email application itself also needed to be upgraded some to support these. Changes in this version:
- Upgraded to feedparser v5.01! (http://code.google.com/p/feedparser/)
- Upgraded to html2text v3.01! (https://github.com/aaronsw/html2text)
- Potentially safer method for writing feeds.dat on UNIX
- Handle via links with no title attribute
- Handle attributes more cleanly with OVERRIDE_EMAIL and DEFAULT_EMAIL
Version 2.70 Released
Version 2.70 of rss2email is now available for both Linux and Windows.
Changes from the previous version:
- Improved handling of given feed email addresses to prevent mail servers rejecting poorly formed Froms
- Added X-RSS-TAGS header that lists any tags provided by an entry, which will be helpful in filtering incoming messages
Complete list in the official CHANGELOG.
Mac OS X and rss2email are Compatible
rss2email user Jon Thompson has reported that Linux rss2email works well under Mac OS X. This is good news, but not to surprising since Apple based OS X on UNIX.
Technically the rss2email Linux package usually works on other UNIX-derived OSs, such as CentOS and BSD. They aren't officially supported, but we usually try resolve incompatibilities if possible.
Minor correction to the minor correction: v2.69a released
Last week I made a slight change to the v2.69 rss2email packages, which can cause suspicion that they have been tampered with. To mitigate this, I put the original v2.69 files back in place and renamed the updated package set to v2.69a.
Here is v2.69a: Linux and Windows
And here is the original v2.69: Linux and Windows
Minor Correction to v2.69 Packages
The v2.69 rss2email packages contain an example config.py file that might accidentally overwrite an existing config.py file. To keep this from happening I've updated both the Linux and Windows by simply renaming the file to config.py.example.
Version 2.69 Released
Version 2.69 of rss2email is now available for both Linux and Windows.
Changes from the previous version:
- Added support for connecting to SMTP server via SSL, see SMTP_SSL option
- Improved backwards compatibility by fixing issue with listing feeds when run with older Python versions
- Added selective feed email overrides through OVERRIDE_EMAIL and DEFAULT_EMAIL options
- Added NO_FRIENDLY_NAME to from from address only without the friendly name
- Added X-RSS-URL header in each message with the link to the original item
Complete list in the official CHANGELOG.
How to Read RSS Feeds in Emacs
Emacs and rss2email user Erik Hetzner has written up a tutorial on how he integrated RSS feed reading into Emacs using rss2email.
Version 2.68 Released with Actual New Features
Unlike the last few versions of rss2email that have trickled out, I finally got around to adding a few new oft-requested features! Version 2.68 of rss2email is now available for both Linux and Windows.
Changes from the previous version:
- Added ability to pause/resume checking of individual feeds through pause and unpause commands
- Added ability to import and export OPML feed lists through importopml and exportopml commands
Complete list in the official CHANGELOG.
r2e pause n where n is a feed number, you can temporarily suspend checking that feed for new content. To start checking it again, simply run
r2e unpause n. When you
r2e list, an asterisk indicates that the feed is currently unpaused and active.
OMPL Import/Export
OPML is an XML format commonly used to exchange a list of RSS feeds between applications.
r2e opmlexport > filename will give you a file that you can use to import your list of feeds into another application. If you've exported feeds from another application into a file,
r2e opmlimport filename will add those feeds to your rss2email feed list.
Version 2.67 Released
Version 2.67 of rss2email is now available for both Linux and Windows, which includes the latest development version of feedparser. Changes from the previous version:
- Fixed entries that include an id which is blank (i.e., an empty string) were being resent
- Fixed some entries not being sent by email because they had bad From headers
- Fixed From headers with HTML entities encoded twice
- Compatibility changes to support most recent development versions of feedparser
- Compatibility changes to support Google Reader feeds
Complete list in the official CHANGELOG.

Dressed Up Train Case
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
If you're looking for organization craft ideas, look no further than this Dressed Up Train Case. Find a vintage piece or head to your local discount store for supplies. This shabby chic carrier looks great and can be displayed anywhere in your home.
- Train case (overnight bag)
- Craft knife
- Rags
- Light-colored, flat latex paint
- Paintbrush
- Sandpaper
- Book pages
- Ruler
- Decoupage medium
- Sponge brush
- Measuring tape
- 3-1/2 inch wide lace
- Scissors
- Satin ribbon scrap
- Key
- Craft glue
- Small flowers
Remove the lining from the inside of your train case. The lining is glued in, so in most cases simply prying up an edge with a knife will allow you to grasp it and pull it out. If you encounter stubborn areas, cut it loose with a craft knife. Discard the lining.
Close the case. Use a wet rag on the outside of the case to remove dust and dirt.
Paint all sides of the case, including the hinges and latches, using a light-colored, flat latex paint. Allow the paint to dry and repeat with additional coats if necessary. Since old cases tend to soak up a lot of paint, I like to use wall paint left over from previous home improvement projects. It's a great way to use up that little bit left in the can and it prevents the added cost of purchasing a large quantity of craft paint.
Undo the latches on the case and lightly paint over the areas that didn't get painted when the latches were closed.
Lightly sand the surface and the edges of the case. Lightly sand over the metal of the latches and hinges. Wipe away the sanding dust using a dry rag.
Insert the blade of a craft knife in the gap between the lid and the case bottom. Allowing the gap to guide you, cut through the dry paint that is gluing the lid closed. After you have cut all the way around the case you will be able to pull open the lid.
Rip old book pages into 2 to 3-inch pieces. I used ripped book pages left over from other projects. They came from a variety of old books. Even though they didn't match, the contrast of different book pages added interest to the project.
Working in one small area at a time, apply decoupage medium to the inside of the train case using a sponge brush. Place a book page piece over the medium. Smooth out the wrinkles and seal with a layer of medium over the paper. Repeat with additional book page pieces, overlapping their edges, until the inside of the case and lid has been completely covered. Allow the decoupage medium to dry.
Using a measuring tape, measure around the horizontal circumference of the case and add 24 inches. Using this measurement, cut a length of 3 1/2-inch wide lace. Wrap the lace around the case and tie the ends in a bow on the front.
Cut a 10-inch scrap of satin ribbon that coordinates with your paint color. Thread a key on the ribbon and tie the ribbon around the handle of the case. Using craft glue, attach a small flower to the key. Arrange and glue additional flowers to the lace bow.

It's the immersion in the world and community that keeps MMORPGers in our games, that makes us feel a connection to it. WoW is, to me, lacks the most in exactly those aspects.
Lots of loving care is going into raid content that few people ever see. Rep grinds and loot grinds abound. But where's that sense of fantasy and connection to the story and world, the sense that you are an inhabitant of Azeroth? To me, that is the most important aspect of an MMORPG. But currently, WoW is too focused on loot grinds and scripted static content that is consumed faster than it can be created, or is not consumed by most people at all. The next MMORPG that's looking to take a bite out of Blizzard's share of the market would do well to study these weaknesses and be strong in the ways WoW is not. Because there are many players (me included) that would consider leaving WoW for a game that could provide those things better, even if they weren't as 'polished'.
EDIT: I just found this post on Girls Don't Game, thats echoes a lot of my feelings:
"Not to knock WoW or anything, since I still play it and don't feel like being a hypocrite today, but I really can't get over how they seriously have not planned on giving us player housing. This is a horse that has been so incredibly beaten, you can barely even recognize the corpse. But it's true. While players whine on the forums every single day about the lack of player housing, Blizzard keeps continuing to raise the level cap and add more high level instance raids left and right. There is so much more that could be done, in my opinion.
...I would love a game where I could just log on and not worry about hitting 20 that night, or farming primals. I would just like to log in, maybe redecorate my e-house, kill some monsters for new items, hang out with friends and then log out at the end of the night.
I heard that Blizzard was thinking about revamping the fishing skill or something but I have yet to see some actual hard evidence on this. Fishing is actually one of my favorite things to do in World of Warcraft. When I was still playing with friends, I wound up hitting fishing 300 because I was sitting on the dock in Orgrimmar all the time in private messages with them."
The open-endedness of MMORPGs is their strength -- it's what makes players feel like they're part of a world, and have many ways they can have fun in it. To run around in a fantasy world, with the feeling that you can find all sorts of different ways to make your place in it, is the main draw of these games. That is where WoW is lacking the most, in my opinion.

NEW YORK, May 1 (UPI) -- Justin Bieber was seen grabbing a bite with Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin at Nobu 57 in Manhattan on Monday.
Sources tell Us Weekly the trio enjoyed their Japanese meal for around two hours. The "Boyfriend" singer was the first one to leave the joint and Baldwin -- the daughter of Stephen Baldwin -- and Jenner later followed suit.
Bieber's get-together with Jenner comes a week after his on-and-off girlfriend Selena Gomez unfollowed the Jenner sisters on Twitter and Instagram, reportedly, over being jealous of them flirting with Bieber.
Bieber, Gomez, and Kendall and Kyile Jenner were all spotted together at Coachella a few weeks ago.

A Compound in Soy May Improve Breast Cancer Treatment
A new study from the University of Arizona Cancer Center in Tucson, US, suggests that genistein, a compound found in soy, could protect a gene responsible for suppressing the development of cancerous tumors and therefore improve breast cancer treatment.
For the research, a team of scientists conducted in vitro experiments using cancer cells taken from human breast tumors. Having analyzed the received results, the scientists concluded that genistein, a soy isoflavone, may play a significant role in halting the development of breast cancer tumors.
Dr. Donato F. Romangolo, one of the lead authors of the study, says: "Lifetime intake of soy in Asian woman has been linked to reduced risk of breast cancer. Genistein is the predominant isoflavone found in soy and it may actually block DNA methylation."
