On Amazon, customers can get almost anything their heart desires, even if that desire includes a Nazi concentration camp puzzle.
The online retailer is coming under fire after a jigsaw puzzle that depicts the Nazi death camp of Dachau was found to be available on the website, the Agence France-Press reports. The puzzle, which is being sold for $24.99, is said to be suitable for kids ages eight and up.
(Scroll down to see a photo of the puzzle)
More than 28,000 prisoners were killed at Dachau between 1933 and 1945. All together, the Nazis imprisoned more than 188,000 people there, according to the U.S. Holocaust Museum.
In a letter to Amazon CEO Jeff Besos, Gerda Hasselfeldt, the head of a conservative German political party, called the sale of the product "a slap in the face" for survivors and victims of the camp and their families, according to Der Spiegel.
"The Dachau concentration camp is a place of remembrance for the suffering of countless people," she wrote in the letter. "It cannot be in Amazon's interest to sell such a toy."
This isn't the first time critics have slammed Amazon for selling a controversial product. One customer posted a petition to Change.org last March calling on the online retailer to stop selling whale and dolphin meat on its site. The company also came under fire for offering a Kindle edition of "A Pedophile's Guide To Love And Pleasure," according to the Los Angeles Times.
Urban Outfitters faced similar criticism and eventually removed a "Jewish Star" t-shirt from its website after the Anti-Defamation League criticized the shirt's design, saying it mimicked the horrors of the Holocaust.
UPDATE: Amazon pulled the Dachau puzzle from its site, according to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
Here's a photo of the controversial puzzle:
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this post misidentified Dachau as a death camp. It was a concentration camp.

Irish Drunk Scoop
In March 2012, Urban Outfitters began selling St. Patrick's Day-themed clothing that included shirts with derogatory statements about Irish people, such as: "Irish I Was Drunk." These shirts received negative reactions from Irish-Americans and were pulled. (Urban Outfitters)
Eat Less
In June 2010, Urban Outfitters released this t-shirt with this description: "Eat less or more or however much you'd like in this seriously soft knit tee cut long and topped with a v-neck." They should have printed that whole description instead of just "eat less" which seems to promote an unhealthy lifestyle and body image. (Urban Outfitters)
Catalog Photo Condemned
Urban Outfitters received heat from anti-gay groups for this photo in their April 2012 catalogue depicting two female models kissing. A group known as One Million Moms wrote on their website: "On page two of this catalog is a picture of two women kissing in a face holding embrace!...The content is offensive and inappropriate for a teen who is the company's target customer." (Urban Outfitters)
'Obama/Black' Option
In April 2010, Urban Outfitters pulled a t-shirt from their online store with a color option of 'Obama/Black.' The store had produced Obama-themed shirts but none of them with this color description. In response, the store released this statement: "The burnout pattern on this shirt is comprised of two colors - one is an internally developed color we called "Obama Blue" and the other is "Black." Unfortunately our website database truncate this combination to read "Obama/Black." We should have caught the error, and apologize for offending anyone." (Urban Outfitters)
'Tranny' Greeting Card
In March 2012, Urban Outfitters came under fire for a greeting card that was deemed transphobic by LGBT advocates. (Urban Outfitters)
Kiss Me Tee
Another derogatory t-shirt against Irish and Irish-Americans saying: "Kiss me. I'm Drunk, or Irish, or whatever." (Urban Outfitters)
Irish Yoga Trucker Hat
Surprisingly, the offensive St. Patrick's Day-themed items have not been pulled from Urban Outfitters' shelves, even when this trucker cap outraged Irish and Irish-American people. (Urban Outfitters)
Jewish Star T-Shirt
In April 2012, Urban Outfitters angered the Jewish community by selling a $100 shirt that critics said mimicked the design of star patches Jewish people were forced to wear during the Holocaust. (Urban Outfitters)
I Heart Destination Necklaces
In May 2011, an independent jewelry designer accused Urban Outfitters of stealing her designs. She wrote on her blog: "I understand that they are a business, but it's not cool to completely rip off an independent designer's work." Urban pulled the collection. (I Make Shiny Things)
I Support Same Sex Marriage T-Shirts-
Amidst the dealings of Proposition 8 in 2008, Urban Outfitters began selling shirts that said, "I Support Same-Sex Marriage." The shirts were pulled a week later. (Courtesy photo)
Hailey Clauson T-Shirt
Model Hailey Clauson posed for photographer Jason Lee Parry when she was just 15-years old. Parry released this photo of Clausen to Urban Outfitters, which he had agreed not to release when the young model's agency complained about the salacious nature of the "crotch shot" pose. The photo became a t-shirt and Clauson sued Urban Outfitters and Parry for damaging her reputation. (Courtesy photo)
In 2003, Urban Outfitters began selling a Monopoly knockoff called Ghettopoly, complete with "Hustle" bonus cards and "Smitty's XXX Peep Show." The game angered the African-American community and Rev. Glenn Wilson of Philadelphia called for a boycott, saying, "There's no way that game could be taken in any way other than that this man had racist intent in marketing it." (Courtesy photo)
Vote For Vodka & USA Drinking Team T-Shirts
Although Urban Outfitter's biggest demographic is 18-24 year-olds, the company is selling shirts that encourage underage drinking. Jan Withers, national president of Mother's Against Drunk Driving (MADD) says, "Kids shouldn't be wearing these t-shirts...Marketing [alcohol-related products] to teens is not in any way acceptable." (Urban Outfitters)
Navajo Line
In October 2011, Urban Outfitters offended Native Americans by describing some of their products as "Navajo." The Native American-inspired items received heat from the Navajo Nation, whose attorney general sent the store a cease-and-desist letter. (Urban Outfitters)

I had never heard the name Mexican Wedding Cookies.
I was born and raised in Mexico City. I lived there all my life until I married my husband, another Mexican, and moved to the U.S.
There were no Mexican Wedding Cookies at our Mexican wedding (though there were a ton of roosters doing their Cock a Doodle Do thing next door, which made it hard for us to say our vows real loud…). Nor were there any of those cookies, at any wedding in Mexico that I have ever attended. None.
The first time I heard the name Mexican Wedding Cookie was once we moved to Washington D.C. Since then, I have been asked about them continuously. What's more, once I started my blog, I began to receive a lot of requests, via lovely emails, for their recipe.
It took me a while to realize that those Mexican Wedding Cookies, so liked this side of the border, are what I love and know as Polvorones. One of Mexico's most popular treats, consumed on an every day basis, and found in just about every Panadería (bakery) and any grocery store throughout the whole country.

Appendix 2: Camera geometry fundamentals 10.1 Image geometry This book has focused on techniques of image processing that use intensity or colour values of pixels to enhance and analyse images. Other image techniques include information about the geometry of image acquisition. These techniques are studied in the computer vision area and are mainly applied to three-dimensional (3D) scene analysis (Trucco and Verri, 1998; Hartley and Zisserman, 2001). This appendix does not cover computer vision techniques, but gives an introduction to the fundamental concepts of the geometry of computer vision. It aims to complement the concepts in Chapter 1 by increasing the background knowledge of how camera geometry is mathematically modelled.

Search fails to find body of Manchester man missing for a half-century

As a regular feature, Searchlight covers these meetings and posts a summary of the bills passed. With all light facts the contemporary generic support is followed. orlistat 120mg Neuroscience magazine reports that the low patterns suddenly treat result even than abusive production, and the function they ' re trying to increase may be located in another health of the abuse. STATED MEETING - October 24, 2003 Quote of the Day: "No one here would argue that St. John the Divine hasn't been a landmark in New York City history... but landmark designation should preserve and protect an area from future development. This only protects the church structure, not the land around it." - Councilmember Melinda Katz, chair of the land use committee, urging a "no" vote on a measure to make the Cathedral of St. John the Divine a landmark. Meeting Summary: On October 24, the New York City Council unanimously rejected landmark status for the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, the world's largest Gothic cathedral located on the Upper West Side. It was only the third time since the Landmark Preservation Commission was created in 1965 that the council has overturned a landmark status recommendation. (Read more about landmark preservation in New York City.) The issue was not whether the 111-year-old cathedral should be preserved; in fact the commission has been trying to give the church a landmark designation for the last 37 years. The problem, council members contended, was that the action applied only the church structure itself. The 11-acre ground surrounding the church was not included. St. John the Divine has plans to develop the area around the church and lease it to Columbia University. Current regulations would allow two buildings as tall as 20 stories to be built on the property. Church officials said that they need the money from the lease to keep the institution running. They estimated that the church currently needs $20 million in repairs and said operating expenses have consumed their endowment. They also emphasized that much of their budget goes to social programs, like after-school programs, homeless services, and soup kitchens. "What is at stake is clear: the financial security and existence of this beloved religious and public institution," said Reverend James Kowalski, the dean of St. John the Divine. But council members questioned the integrity of the process, criticized the commission for letting financial concerns become part of their consideration, and raised doubts about whether the planned development would be appropriate for the cathedral and the neighborhood."This is not the way to do it, not at the expense of the integrity of the landmarking process," said Harlem Councilmember Bill Perkins, who represents the area. The council voted 44 to 0 to reject the landmark commission's recommendation; six council members were absent. The council's action will not stop development of the land around the cathedral. The members urged the landmarks commission to start their process again. The City Council also unanimously approved a bill (Intro 539) that allows more senior citizens to qualify for rent increase exemptions. Rent increase exemptions are available to New Yorkers over the age of 62, who pay a least a third of their income toward rent, and live in rent controlled or rent stabilized apartments. Under the old law, a household had to earn less than $20,000 a year to qualify; the new bill raises the annual income level to $24,000. The Independent Budget Office estimates that the bill will allow 2,575 more households to participate in the program at a cost of $1.8 million to the city. The next Stated Meeting is scheduled for November 6. For an archive of past meetings and council votes, visit Gotham Gazette's Searchlight.

Dorset man backing British Heart Foundation
12:00pm Wednesday 22nd January 2014 in News
A DORSET man who has a dangerous heart rhythm disorder is urging people to donate to the British Heart Foundation.
Builder Richard Elgar, 43, was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF) last September.
More than a million people in the UK now live with AF, including 105,355 in the South West. AF is a dangerous heart rhythm disorder that increases the risk of stroke five-fold, according to new figures from the British Heart Foundation (BHF).
The BHF is the UK's biggest funder of research into heart and circulatory diseases and Dorset residents are being urged to help out by organising a Ramp up the Red party on February 7 to raise funds.
The father-of-two, said: "More research, funded by the BHF's campaign, could help find better ways of treating people like me and make sure my family stays together."

Less than a week after Tiger Woods debuted on the 2013 PGA Tour with a dominating win at Torrey Pines, Phil Mickelson made an early-season statement of his own with a wire-to-wire win at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. It was dominating performance full of highlights and birdie after birdie, started by the cruel near-miss round of 59 on Thursday. After a listless tournament last week in his hometown of San Diego, the Arizona State product cruised for four days in front of another set of fans who have followed him for more than two decades.
The two-week stretch of Woods-Mickelson victories certainly has to have PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem happy as the season really swings into gear on the West Coast. It's a portion of the season where Mickelson has traditionally succeeded. This year's WM Phoenix Open was Mickelson's 41st career win, and the majority of those have come in the early portion of the season on the West Coast and before The Masters in April.
Mickelson started Sunday with a six-shot lead, a margin that was not insurmountable given the low rounds fired at TPC Scottsdale all week. Phil had a shot to set a new 72-hole PGA Tour record with a round of 64 or better, but that fell out of reach relatively early and he finished with just five birdies in his final round. But the lead was so large that Brandt Snedeker could never get closer than three shots, and Mickelson held him off on the back side after he cut the lead in half at the turn.
Sunday's highlight will be the final putt to win it, but the most memorable moment from the victory will be Thursday's incredible round. Mickelson's 10 birdies in his first 13 holes put the golf world on "59 watch" and created legitimate speculation that he could card the first-ever 58 in PGA Tour history. Of course, that all ended in the most heartbreaking and "Phil" way when his final putt went around the lip before hopping out.
But Phil didn't stop there after that crushing near-miss, backing up the round of 60 with rounds of 65 and 64. Yesterday's dart at the infamous 16th hole nearly went in for an ace, whipping the crowd into a frenzy and adding to the dominating week. He started the week with a new Callaway driver in the bag and with what he called an "emergency session" with swing coach Butch Harmon. The driver apparently did the trick for Mickelson, who repeatedly talked about how it cut down on his misses left -- where there's plenty of water trouble at TPC Scottsdale.
It's impossible to project what this means for the rest of the season for Mickelson. He picks up a win on the West Coast swing almost every year. In 2012, he won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in blowout fashion, but that would be his only win of the year and he was rarely in contention after Augusta.
This was a win out of nowhere, however, as Mickelson could not break 70 last week in his backyard at Torrey Pines and was lackluster through four rounds at the Humana Challenge. Those two underwhelming weeks to start the season, along with the drama surrounding his tax comments, prompted more questions about Phil's game and his ability to contend this year. It didn't take long for things to turn, however, and now Mickelson has a win for the 20th straight year -- a streak only exceeded by Sam Snead and Jack Nicklaus. Tiger may have been on the sidelines, but there really was no other storyline this week as soon as Phil opened Thursday with four straight birdies.

Maryland Weekly Fishing Report Overview | March 23, 2011
Welcome to the first full week of spring; the changes in air temperatures and nature holds a lot of anticipation for everyone and especially so for fishermen. Many young and older fishermen will have a hard time sleeping this Friday as the opening day of trout season approaches. Fishermen have been busy getting equipment together and for many there will be a spot somewhere in the backyard that is dug up from the search for worms. Others will just unscrew the lid of a jar of Power baits and still others will place their faith in spinners or a carefully tended nymph fly. Be it soggy sneakers, mud stained blue jeans and a spinning rod or the newest pair of waders and a fly rod; we are all brothers of a tribe.
In our daily travels or perhaps our ventures out on the states waters many are seeing the results of a lot of runoff coming down the tidal rivers and its effect on the bay. The flows at the Conowingo Dam are very high and there is a lot of floating debris and discolored water in the bay. Check out this link to Eyes on the Bay and check out the recent satellite images. HeavySpringShowersBringFloodsToChesapeakeBay.pdf
Although the weather has been teasing us with some beautiful days, the waters of the lakes, rivers, streams and of course the bay and ocean are much slower to react to the warm embrace of a spring time sun. It is official now, spring has sprung and fishermen have been enjoying some wonderful fishing opportunities throughout the state. Fisheries biologists and volunteers have been busy stocking trout in many of the various trout management waters and this coming Saturday March 26th is the grand opening for most trout fishermen. Most streams are in great shape and baring another deluge between today and Saturday; fishermen should see near perfect conditions.

If anyone has been reading the Angler's Logs you will see that I have been on the road a lot in recent weeks and in my travels I've come across a lot of fishermen fishing for white perch in the upper reaches of the bay's tidal rivers. Although high water has been a problem at times, generally speaking it has been a very good season so far for catching white perch. Many of the traditional spawning run intercept locations such as Gray's Run at the head of the Bush River, Allen's Fresh on the Wicomico and Wayson's Corner on the Patuxent have all lived up to their reputations. Fishermen can still find white perch in these areas but some of the better opportunities will now occur in channel areas farther down the tidal rivers and creeks. Bloodworms and grass shrimp on a bottom rig is perhaps one of the most popular ways to fish for white perch when the water is cold and deep.
Fishing for largemouth bass in the tidal rivers and impoundments has been rapidly improving as water temperatures rise and the bass become more active. Most fishermen are using crankbaits and soft plastics slow and deep near grass edges and sunken wood. This time of the year the sunny side of a tidal creek or river or even a lake can offer the best fishing since fish will seek out the warmer water. The water temperature in the tidal Potomac River near Indian Head area is currently running around 57-degrees. Aron Weiner holds up a nice largemouth bass he caught and released at Piney Run Reservoir recently.

In between the recent high water in the upper Potomac fishermen have been enjoying some excellent catch and release fishing for large walleyes and musky. Water levels have not been too forgiving lately and it has to be frustrating for anglers to sit bank side and just watch. Equally frustrating is the slow retreat of ice at Deep Creek Lake. Some of the cove areas are open and the edges are opening up but generally the fishing there is in a bit of a limbo at the moment. Better to go trout fishing this weekend.
The annual spring migration of spawning striped bass into the spawning reaches has begun in earnest this month and the fish are already in the Choptank, Nanticoke and Patuxent Rivers. Last week there was even a hint of fish spawn in the air on the Choptank. The striped bass headed for the Susquehanna Flats should be there soon since this is one of the later spawns in the Chesapeake. Water conditions are not good due to the huge amount of runoff water coming down the Susquehanna. There has been some catch and release fishing occurring at the Calvert Cliffs Power Plant discharge and it was quite good last month. As water temperatures in the bay approach 50-degrees the fishing there has tended to be a little less reliable. Jigging with soft plastics there will continue to be a draw.
There are reports of tautog being caught at the Ocean City Inlet locations from the jetties to the Route 50 Bridge. Water temperatures have been fluctuating in the mid 40-degree range depending on the tide. There are reports of a few striped bass being caught in the surf along with skates. A couple of the Ocean City head boats have been running offshore and fishing some of deeper wreck sites for tautog and catching fair numbers. Perhaps one welcomed surprise on these trips is the amount of nice codfish that are being caught. It has been tough for fishermen choose whether to send down a piece of crab or a chunk of clam.

The Sunnyside Museum and Historical Society finally has a little room to breath, thanks to two new metal storage units that have been carefully placed behind the museum, along South Fourth Street.
The storage units were recently donated to the organization by the Sunnyside Daybreak Rotary Club, which partnered with Curfman Steel Company and the City of Sunnyside to ensure that the buildings were properly placed.
"Cooperative projects which enhance the quality of life in and around Sunnyside is a priority goal for the Sunnyside Daybreak Rotary Club," said Jeff Barrom, president of the local club. "We are continually seeking ways to enhance our community."
The two storage units were paid for by the Sunnyside Daybreak Rotary Club and Curfman Steel, which also helped set the units. The Sunnyside Public Works Department provided fill and gravel at the site behind the museum, to ensure that there was a level platform on which to set the units.

Five states will experiment with giving pupils additional instruction and other support by 300 hours a year of teaching time to the school year, officials announced Monday.
The program, starting next year in some schools in Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and Tennessee, is designed to increase student achievement and make U.S. education more competitive globally, a goal of the Obama administration.
The three-year pilot program will affect almost 20,000 students in 40 schools over the next three years, with the hope of expanding the effort to include more schools down the road. Educators and parents will decide whether to lengthen the school day or add days to the school calendar, or both.

(This is a rant. Getting it off my chest.)
Not too long ago I had to experience the unfourtunate; a MMO guild falling apart due to drama. Drama I was involved with. It's always ugly, and leaves a bad taste in everyone's mouth. No one is clean or innocent of it, and it was sadly avoidable in one easy step.
The group had come together in order to down the most difficult content. We formed up from two separate groups that had lost people to breaks and quitting. Things were fine in the beginning. We all got along and were excited to hit up new content. At least that's what us, from what I shall call Group #3, thought. But, the other group, #1, had been at the fight for awhile now. They were already frustrated, and they took point as the veterans. We were jumping in needing to learn the basics of the fight. Tensions started to mount right from the beginning.
#1 was more aggressive (not all of them just a couple), they gave the impression we should already know what they had learned in three months of attempts. "Ughs." and passive insults were rarely heard in the first couple weeks. As time went they became more common. #3 was collectively getting frustrated, but we didn't know that yet. We were each trying to suck it up for the whole. Brushing it off.
It only got worse. The person who had stepped up as lead; they called out commands during battle, made decisions etc. Was obviously getting shorter of temper as time passed. This is where I made my mistake in this whole mess. I could see it plain as day. I even talked to him once about voicing concerns if he had any, don't bottle and make it worse. But, I never outright asked him, "Are you okay?" It's debatable if anything would have changed if I had said so at this juncture, but I should have tried to ask, to broach the subject.
Instead time passed. Justin, talking to another member of #3 about the raid, learned he was frustrated, and passed the information to me. I then talked to my sister, who said "Yeah, he's mentioned that to me as well." A couple conversations later and we find out we've all got the same feelings. We voice concerns, complaints, but decide to see things out.
We down the boss, cheers are had. But, on that eve a member of #1; the one who always had an insult handy when someone else fell, and an excuse for when he did, had something to say.
"If it wasn't for Blue (me) and Xen (my sister) dying so much we would have had it down sooner."
I was flabbergasted. It was so direct, so nasty, and so not true. I truly hope it wasn't because we were the only women in the raid. But, that is the only thing different about us I could fathom. We didn't die the most (he did, #3 kept a tally for kicks and to make ourselves feel better, and vindicated), and at that time we had been pretty quiet when people argued. I was instantly furious. The other members of #3 had all logged off, I think this particular individual didn't realize I was still around. The leader defended us. He was a good guy, just frustrated at this point. I logged off, told my sister. We both agreed we know longer wanted to tolerate the rude one and his ways.
We hit it up again the following week for loot. We wipe, for hours. As time passes it gets uglier, #1s are scolding, chastising like we're six year olds from the very first wipe. This puts everyone in a bad mood from go number one. By the two hour mark we've all transitioned beyond frustrated. None of us want to be here. This is where the "leadership" continued along with a cardinal mistake. Vinegar.
Back in WoW, when Gill (my sister) and I were hitting up the Frozen Throne our raid got stuck on the three princes. We call this "A Wall" a fight that seems insurmountable, weeks go by with no progress. We hit a wall and the co-leader of the raid, Geo, was pissed off. She was also making sure everyone knew it, by shrieking at us over Vent. Hawking blame wherever she saw fit, whether real or not. This was normal behaviour for her, we had people quit already because of it. Now we hit this wall. I told the leader of the raid, "If she stays; if you don't kick her or tell her to stop, we're going to lose this long list of people instead."
He kicked her after one giant screaming fest the following week.
You know what happened? We instantly downed that boss fight. And all the others right up to the final brawl, The Lich King himself.
My point, screaming, yelling, berating, insulting, gets you "Walls". Being supportive, helpful, understanding, working on and talking about problems (calmly) (and yes knowing when to remove someone from the raid) gets you downed bosses and fully heartfelt high-fives.
This is not the environment #1 was creating. Half of #3 wanted to outright quit at this point. We talked it out decided against it, I promised to have an overall talk about attitudes if it's still nasty when the new content drops.
The new content comes. We hit up the new single boss fight. After some frustration we down it. There is some ugliness but nothing epic. Just passive aggressiveness. Moving onto the first boss of the new big set we collectively work on the fight. None of us have any idea what to expect. #3 is giving suggestions trying to figure things out along with #1. But, that underlying nastiness is still there. #1 suddenly starts expecting the world from #3, but not themselves. Yelling at us, and just us, for mistakes. But, only lightly chastising themselves when whoopsy doodles are made. I end up having that talk. Well, "talk" is generous. I discuss attitudes, negativity, how we're worse as a group when it's happening. We should be positive, let things roll off. If you feel angry don't hit the push-to-talk button. I'm met with silence. Nobody says a thing, a couple "I agree!" sentiments from #3, but #1 ignores it. They keep on talking about random stuff, like I had never opened my mouth.
Communication. It is so important in every aspect of our lives. Even the fun MMO ones. Do you want to have fun and progress in a raiding environment with other people? Well, GUESS WHAT you need to talk to other people then. About issues or concerns, have discussions if things are obviously sour. ANYTHING. Nothingness is the worst thing you can do. It will end raids, or get you kicked from one.
This may be a major sore spot for me. Things went from bad to worse. The leader and I clashed over the stupidest things. I knew what he wanted, certain skills obtained. I knew he was angry about it. Hard to miss. I purposely didn't unlock the skills. I instead said I wanted to talk about it. You know what he did? Directly insulted me with sentence number three. I was even about to agree to get the skill at my own pace. I shut down. Fast. Told him the negativity, the condescending nature of how everything was approached, was unnecessary, rude, completely out of line.
He switched characters and never talked directly to me again.
#3 was pissed. Tired of being ignored. I can recall giving suggestions for the new fight and not even being acknowledged. Three weeks later suddenly this is part of the new strategy.
We were always told why we died, what we did wrong, and how to fix it in the most rude manner possible. If you're leading a raid, do not do this.
A: It's spoon feeding, you will not get raid aware members capable of dealing with mechanics and issues without needing a call out by doing this.
B: It's condescending as all get out. We are not children, we are equipped with eyes. We know what killed us (we even point it out ourselves sometimes), we know the mechanics, we know what should be actually done. If we don't, we're adults, capable of communication. Something I know they had forgotten how to do. We can ask, "Hey, not sure what went wrong, any ideas?"
C: It makes the person feel bad. Even if they know you're wrong about it being all their fault, you are still calling them out in front of everyone else as the person of authority. Nobody enjoys that.
Gaaaaah, ok. Still angry. It's the lack of trying to meet us halfway that really gets to me. To this day they see themselves as completely in the right. We don't see ourselves that way. We are capable of looking back and seeing where we could've improved how we dealt with the situation. There were times we fed into it, circle jerking if you will, our anger. That never helps. But, we did try to address our problems, and got ignored.
The leader? He never wanted lead. But, he did have an idea of how he wanted the raid to be handled. People research the fights beforehand, and try them out in PUGs every week if we don't down it. He never, not once, told us that. Not until the big blow-out at the end. Even when we tried to talk about it. Even when I outright said, "If you have a problem, tell us, we're big people, we can take it and we can work something out."
He was convinced we were in league with one another. In someways we were. We preferred to run with one another, but we would do things with the others, and we would invite them along with us. We didn't want to ostracize him, we still thought of him as a decent person. Yes, we had our own private chat channel, to air grievances get a good ole' "Gaaaaaaaaar!!" But, we still tried to strike up conversations in guild chat, or join in on them. He had the GALL to be pissed at us for his problems he never voiced, NOT ONCE. If you have an issue with someone, even if it is just, if you do not talk to them about it. If you let it boil, YOU are also in the wrong. If it is a misunderstanding, you are the ONLY one in the wrong for not talking about it.
We left on bad terms with the leader and the rude one. The other members of #1 we never had huge problems with. They either got involved but not nearly as much, or didn't even notice there was a problem.
Sometimes I emote at leader, consider whispering him. He was a good person, he is a good person. Fun, nice. But, he took up a responsibility he didn't want, let it get to him, stayed silent, ignored or escaped attempts to talk. Became mean. I'd like to go back to before all this. Where we could talk and run around doing random things together. But, for now, it doesn't look like that will happen.
Communication. Use it, love it. Please, don't let this happen. It doesn't have to, it's daunting, anxiety ridden territory. But, if you want to organize a group, you need to have a lot of it. If you want to participate in one, you need a little of it at least.
