(02/20/13) - The state of Bay County is healthy, but government leaders say there will be some challenges ahead.
Wednesday, the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce held it's 13th annual 'State of the Community.'
It was an opportunity for business leaders and community members to learn where the Bay Area stands in 2013.
City, county, and township officials offered reports. There was plenty of good news, but it comes with some obstacles.
Leaders realize declining revenues and shrinking resources will cause concerns in the coming months, but they say they are not afraid of what's ahead.
"We have a long history of doing this and we are not afraid of challenges," said Christopher Shannon, Bay City Mayor.
Challenges like declining fund balances and shrinking resources. Obstacles that municipalities across the state are trying to conquer.
While government leaders in Bay County say the area is healthy now, they know it's not immune to the financial crisis.
"We're all in the same boat," said Paul Wasek, of Williams Charter Township.
The State of the Community address touched on common themes - team work, success through combined efforts of city, township and county, and efforts in the classroom.
"Our local districts have been working together, partnering with the Bay Arenac ISD in the business and education partnership to hold countywide school board meetings," said John Mertz, superintendent of Essexville-Hampton Public Schools.
It's cooperation they hope will keep the county moving forward in the midst of economic distress.
Among the many positive talking points, Wednesday, was the re-development of Uptown at RiversEdge.
"This is the most significant development that took place in Bay City over the past year," Shannon said.
Dow Corning, McLaren Bay Region, and Chemical Bank will all occupy the new building, which is under construction and will stand at a once vacant industrial site.
The project should be complete by 2014, and bring hundreds of jobs to the area.
Leaders say projects like this will keep the county going in the right direction.
"With hard work, a little luck, our city, our residents, and our employees will be alright," Shannon said.
Also mentioned was the construction of the Mill Lofts, a development that will feature upscale rentals, restaurants and retail shops, and is expected to draw a younger population to the Bay Area. That project is expected to start within a year.
Neighborhood revitalization, public safety, and the construction of the new water treatment plant were also parts of the discussions.

Edit Murphy's upcoming "Brooklyn Nights" EP shines like a bright star in the sky, achieving classic house vibes with glowing synth chords, a soft kick drum, and R&B-style vocals. The effects give the track an echoing quality that perfectly complements its soulful depth.
Fantastic Man spices up "Brooklyn Nights" by adding organic percussion, bass, and delayed keys. The track wanders playfully through a development of subtle build-ups and funky, groovin' basslines.
Savile's remix stretches out the vocals, creating a slow-building jam perfect for a sunrise set. Weaving in a variety of elements and a meandering synth, his mellow interpretation pulls apart just as smoothly as it's built up.
In "Beverly Thrills," Edit Murphy takes a turn for disco as he develops a shimmery atmosphere complete with a short funky bassline loop. He ties it all together with sultry female vocals that add that extra bit of allure to an already glittering dance-floor gem.
Edit emerged almost a year ago, in October 2011, with his Motown Edits series. Edit reworked tracks from a handful of originators of Motor City soul, including Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers, and Stevie Wonder. The release quickly gained attention all over the Internet, with support from equally mysterious edit-maestros, Tiger & Woods. His most recent track "Need You" first appeared on OM Lounge Vol. 12 and was released as a single on Smoke N Mirrors earlier this summer. The Brooklyn Nights EP will be released world-wide on September 25th, 2012.

June 2014
OverviewIn June 2013, Washington State Ferries (WSF) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) released the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Mukilteo Multimodal Project. The Preferred Alternative (pdf 1.3 MB) known as a modified Elliot Point 2, relocates the ferry terminal one-third of a mile east of the existing terminal. View the latest project fact sheet (pdf 1.1 MB) to learn more.
Why is WSDOT
considering improving or relocating the Mukilteo Terminal?
The Mukilteo/Clinton ferry route is part of State Route (SR) 525, the major transportation corridor connecting Whidbey Island to the Seattle-Everett metropolitan area. It is WSF's busiest route for vehicle traffic and has the second highest annual ridership. Future usage is expected to increase by 73% by 2030. The Mukilteo terminal has not had significant improvements since the early 1980s and components of the facility are aging. The current terminal layout makes it difficult for passengers to get in and out of the terminal and contributes to traffic congestion, safety concerns and conflicts between vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The new terminal will improve operations and multimodal connections and safety.
The End Result
An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is a document that describes proposed project alternatives and identifies environmental effects. WSF and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) prepared an EIS in compliance with the National and State Environmental Policy Acts (NEPA/SEPA). FTA is the federal lead agency for the NEPA environmental review process. WSDOT is the state lead agency for SEPA. WSF and FTA released a Draft EIS in January 2012 and selected a Preferred Alternative (pdf 1.3 mb) in May 2012. The two agencies released a Final EIS in June 2013. FTA is anticipated to issue a Record of Decision (ROD) this spring/summer, which will complete the environmental review process and will allow WSF to move forward with final design and construction. WSF analyzed four alternatives in the Draft EIS.
All alternatives, with the exception of the No-Build, include the following components:
What is the Preferred Alternative? Based on comments from the public, agencies, and tribes, WSF and FTA selected a modified Elliot Point 2 Alternative as their Preferred Alternative in May 2012. This option was selected because of its ability to meet the purpose and need of the project and to minimize environmental impacts. The Preferred Alternative (pdf 1.3 MB) relocates the ferry terminal to the western portion of the tank farm property where the water is deeper and the ferry slip can be closer to the shore, creating a shorter trestle than other alternatives. The alternative includes a new passenger and maintenance building, a supervisor's building, and four new toll booths. It is the alternative that is located closest to the transit center and commuter rail station. As part of this alternative, WSF will remove the existing ferry terminal and tank farm pier, eliminating thousands of tons of toxic creosote-treated debris from Puget Sound.
Project Benefits
The new terminal will:
What is the project timeline?
Financial Information
The estimated cost of the Preferred Alternative is approximately $129 million (M). The Legislature has identified $116.9 M for the project, which includes a mix of state funds and federal funds. To date, WSF has secured $30 M in federal planning and design grants. Because of its multimodal emphasis, the project is anticipated to be highly competitive for federal funding.

The snow and extremely cold temperatures we're expecting can be a recipe for disaster for homeowners.
We talked to an area roofing company for tips on avoiding ice dams.
Paul Schmitt from JC Lauer and company says, if you have alot of snow on your roof - take a snow rake and pull snow off from the edge and up about 3 feet.
After that, he suggests throwing some environmentally safe salt up there because it's the most gentle.
Icycles forming are one of the first signs of an ice dam and the conditions will soon be ripe for them.
"But when it's like this, the most dangerous situation is when you have a foot of snow and the temperatures drop down to freezing just like what it's doing now."
If you can't reach your roof and think you may need some help, call a local roofing contrator.

Bullpen assistant Strech Suba, a fixture in the Astros dugout and clubhouse since 1978, will not return to the team for the 2013 season.
Suba was told on Monday that his contract will not be renewed.
"The Astros have been great to me," Suba said. "I was given a job after having been released that I had been with for 35 years.
"They always treated me well and I couldn't have asked for any better way to have a career, especially being born and raised in Houston."
Suba spent one season as a catcher with the Astros rookie league team in 1978 in Sarasota, Fla.
"When I was released as a player in the minor leagues back in '78 and then two hours later (former Astros president) Tal Smith gave me the bullpen catchers job."
And Suba kept that job through the 2012 season.
Suba, who lives in San Diego, Calif., said he is open to working for the Astros in another capacity.
"We recognize the many years of service that Strech has provided for the Houston Astros, but we've decided to go in another direction with our on-field staff," said Jeff Luhnow, Astros general manager, in a statement released by the team.
"We thank Strech for all he has done for our organization and wish him the best in the future."
Meanwhile former Astros pitching coach Burt Hooton was not with the club nearly as long as Suba, but he joins him as a former member of the organization.
Hooton confirms that his contract as the Astros pitching coach at Triple-A Oklahoma City was not renewed.
Hooton, who was the pitching coach for the Astros from 2000-2004, had been working in Houston's minor league system for the last eight years.
"I was told they weren't renewing my contract," Hooton said. "They have all the reasons. I don't have any answers.
"13 years with one club, I enjoyed it. It was a good run. No hard feelings. They have a new ownership group and they can do with it what they want, and they didn't want me to be a part of it.
Hooton, who played 15 years in the Major Leagues, is not ready to say his coaching career is over.
"I'm not ready," Hooton said. "I think I have a lot to offer still.
"I enjoy it. I love what I do."

new riding mower opinions
i am looking for a new riding mower to cut close to my house. i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or and experiences with new riding mowers. i was looking at ariens, cub cadets, husquvarna. i think i prefer the kohler engine but i just thought i'd see what yall had to say about it. thanks for any responses
Re: new riding mower opinions
Just my observation in the neighborhood. Seven new Cub Cadets within the last 2/3 years, five of the seven have been back to the dealer for warranty work. One had the engine replaced with less than 50 hours on the clock.
My '79 model CC 1450, bought used in '89, has run faithfully the last 22 years. I'm going to refresh the engine this winter and it should be good for another 32 years. MTD sure doesn't make them like International used to.

Re: new riding mower opinions
i thou the new cc were made by MTD, the guy had home depot had no idea. if i could find me a good used CC from when they were made by international i would get one of those. i just dont want to buy junk or have something that i need to work on everytime i cut grass. my cub is good for the meadow, i was looking for something smaller for my wife to use close to the house. we had a 90's model bolens that became a money pit and i dont want that again
Re: new riding mower opinions
the best cut next to the house is a weedwhip. The John Deere's are good mowers. I've never operated one, but a lot of folks including the commercial lawn services like the zero-turns with handles rather than a rider with a steering wheel.
Re: new riding mower opinions
The current cub Cadets are made my MTD, so you may as well save money and buy an MTD, just different hood. They are not cheap, but have you looked into Simplicity or Ferris, either in a tractor type or ZTR, they are pretty good rigs.

Re: new riding mower opinions
After a lot of research and reading reviews, we recently replaced our Craftsman riding mower with a John Deere 42" zero turn mower. (I can't tell you how much it pained me to buy a green & yellow lawn mower ) "After a month of mowing with it I can already say I will never be able to go back to a regular riding mower!
Although I really wanted the twin cylinder Kohler, I opted for the single cylinder Briggs & Stratton because I needed a 42" deck to fit through my backyard fence without going all the way around. It would be nice if the vibration was a little less but it's acceptable. I've never mowed with the twin cylinder so I can't compare.
The Craftsman mower it replaced saw 10 years of hard use and was holding up good but the hydrostatic transmission started slipping after mowing for a couple of hours. The Craftsman I had before that also held up for 10 years before the deck was so eat up I couldn't patch it up anymore. In fairness though, the property I had then was very sandy.
Re: new riding mower opinions
A few years ago (actually about 8 years ago) I replaced my 22 + year-old cub cadet with a JD LX 277 with a twin cylinder Kawasaki engine. It has been flawless since I bought it. Routine maintenance and blade changes are all it has needed.
The cheaper box store models are built a lot lighter than mine and even though mine is a "lawn" tractor not a "garden" tractor like the 300 series and 400 series tractors there is a significant difference between the 100 series and 200 series tractors.
I bought mine for mowing only and it has done the job well.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Re: new riding mower opinions
I know you aren't looking for anything this big, but I bought a 52" Scag before I got the cub fever. I has a 25 HP Kohler engine on it. All I can say for it, is that it loves to cut grass. Rides a bit rough, but is a grass cutting booger. No problems at all with the Kohler engine (air cooled).

Re: new riding mower opinions
I like BD bought my new lawn mower a JD L111 (a hundred series mower) from a John Deere dealer and it has a 20 hp B&S twin. It is much more robust than the similar models available at the big box stores. It is also much heavier. Not sure why but our new JD Dealer is aware of the difference. Wasn't cheap but it is a darn good mower. I am pleased with it. In 5 years I have almost 415 hours on it and it runs like a champ. The only problems that I have is with the powder coat finish. Not a biggie though. Good on fuel as well and with regular seasonal maintenance I am sure this one will last for many years unlike the MTD built varieties.
If you decide not to buy new then any of the original IHCC models would be excellent choices. Even though my 129 isn't operational yet I have had a chance to look it over and it is in amazing shape for a 40 year old machine.

Full Report: '15 cigarettes cause mutation'
Scientists from the region are backing a campaign which argues that smoking just 15 cigarettes could eventually lead to a cancerous tumour - that is a total of 15 overall - not 15 per day.
More than 3000 people died of smoking-related cancers in the North East and Cumbria in 2010.
Even though the number of smokers in the region is falling, campaigners say too many people are still dying unecessarily.
Dan Ashby's report contains some disturbing images.

Super Smash Brothers Melee Online
To: Nintendo of America and Japan Fans of your Super Smash Brothers Melee Video Game are proposing that you at Nintendo should create an online compatible version of Super Smash Brothers Melee. If you consider bringing the game to the online community, we would be appreciative. With the success of the Super Smash Brothers Melee, i think this would be beneficial because Super Smash Brothers Melee has a large user base and this could be a profitable expenditure. Once again fans would appreciate this greatly if you would bring the franchise online. Thank you for your time, Barron Miles

He also tore an ACL while he was a senior at Oklahoma, but that was in his left knee.||||||| With Broyles out, the Lions suddenly have a very thin receiving corps behind star Calvin Johnson. Schwartz said Monday that Titus Young is away from the team again - and he gave no indication when or if the exiled receiver might return. Detroit previously lost Nate Burleson to a season-ending knee injury. Broyles has 22 catches for 310 yards and two touchdowns on the season.

Narcolepsy Prompts GSK Vaccine Investigation
A possible link between cases of the chronic sleep disorder narcolepsy and GlaxoSmithKline's H1N1 pandemic vaccine, Pandemrix, has led to a call from the World Health Organization (WHO) for further investigation. Narcolepsy is a rare condition with no currently available cure.
Cases of narcolepsy with a potential connection to the vaccine first began hitting headlines in August 2010, prompting the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to launch a safety review. Six months on, however, it's not entirely clear what's going on. Is there a connection? Possibly, but only in certain countries and a certain age group! Although cases of narcolepsy have been reported in at least 12 countries, the majority of these come from Sweden, Finland and Iceland in children and adolescents aged 4–19 years.
"Even at this stage, it does not appear that narcolepsy following vaccination against pandemic influenza is a general worldwide phenomenon and this complicates interpretation of the findings in Finland," explained a statement from the WHO.
The issue is also further confounded by the fact that an increased risk of narcolepsy has never been observed in association with the use of any vaccine — whether against influenza or other diseases — before.
Finland's National Institute for Health and Welfare has been heavily involved in investigating the issue and established a National Narcolepsy Task Force last year. According to a report from the task force, 60 children and adolescents aged 4–19 years fell ill with narcolepsy in 2009–2010. Of these cases, almost 90% had received Pandemrix.
"Based on the preliminary analysis, the risk of falling ill with narcolepsy among those vaccinated in the 4–19 years age group was 9-fold in comparison to those unvaccinated in the same age group," said a press statement from the National Institute for Health and Welfare.
Who's to blame?
But given that no other vaccine has ever caused narcolepsy before, is Pandemrix really to blame?
A number of countries used similar pandemic vaccines in 2009, but the sharp increase in narcolepsy cases only seems to have occurred in Sweden, Finland and Iceland. Iceland has also reported greater than expected numbers of narcolepsy cases in unvaccinated children and teenagers in the country. GSK believes it's too early to draw conclusions until the European investigation has been completed, but the company says it is working closely with the EMA to understand the situation.
Narcolepsy has also been shown to have a strong genetic linkage to a specific genotype, which all of the people diagnosed with narcolepsy during 2009–2010 in Finland possessed. The WHO explained that the National Institute "considers it most likely that the Pandemrix vaccine increased the risk of narcolepsy in a joint effect in those genetically exposed with some other, still unknown, genetic and/or environmental factor".
For now, there's no clear picture of exactly what is happening. According to GSK, more than 31 million doses of the vaccine have been administered worldwide in 47 countries, with only 162 cases of narcolepsy reported to GSK as of 31 January 2011.
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, in collaboration with a number of EU member states, including Finland, is currently conducting epidemiological studies of narcolepsy and pandemic influenza vaccines. These studies will evaluate the contribution of pandemic vaccines and other risk factors to narcolepsy, and confirm whether an increase in narcolepsy has been seen in other countries. The outcomes of the study will be announced this summer.

This tutorial aims to show you how to use Java and JPedal to print a PDF file in 5 simple steps. These 5 steps will give you greater control over how the printing takes place. If you do not require such in depth control you can print a pdf page to a given printer using the following single line of code.
SilentPrint print = new SilentPrint(String file_name, String printerName);
Step 1. Create a PdfDecoder object
First you need a PdfDecoder object to represent your Pdf file. You may also need to set up font replacements if required.
PdfDecoder decodePdf = new PdfDecoder(true); //Set to true as I don't want to render it to screen in this tutorial
try {
catch (Exception e) {
Important note on printing Encrypted PDF files
If the PDF file is encrypted, you will need the BouncyCastle jar on your classpath and may need to set the password withsetEncryptionPassword(String password) or openFile with a password.
Step 2. Set your attributes
You will also need an AttributeSet which will tell the printer what kind of things you want it to do such as print on a certain sized paper or how many copies you want. I don't really want it to do anything for this tutorial so I'll leave it as it is, see here for further information onattributes. In the following example I'm just going to set a JobName:
PrintRequestAttributeSet attributeSet = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
JobName jobName = new JobName("Example Print", null);
The PdfDecoder class has lots of methods that you can call to adjust the printout such as whether you want to print to paper of different sizes or how you want the pages rotated. Such as:
decodePdf.setPagePrintRange(1, decodePdf.getPageCount());
There are some more print settings that you can adjust described here.
Step 3. Find a printer
To find the list of printers available to Java that can do what you require:
PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(DocFlavor.SERVICE_FORMATTED.PAGEABLE, attributeSet);
for(PrintService s : services) {
This shows the names of all the devices you can print out on. I'm going to use the Windows XPS Document Writer to print a Pdf in this example.
PrintService printingDevice;
for(PrintService s : services) {
if(s.getName().equals("Microsoft XPS Document Writer")) {
printingDevice = s;
Step 4. Create a Pageable PDF
To create a object that can be printed you need to create a PdfBook object (The attributes parameter maybe null if required). This can then be passed in to a SimpleDoc ready for printing.
PdfBook pdfBook = new PdfBook(decodePdf, printingDevice, attributeSet);
SimpleDoc doc = new SimpleDoc(pdfBook, DocFlavor.SERVICE_FORMATTED.PAGEABLE, null);
Step 5. Print it!
All you need to do here is receive a DocPrintJob from the PrintService and then call it print method with the SimpleDoc and your attributes if you have any.
DocPrintJob printJob = printingDevice.createPrintJob();
try {
printJob.print(doc, attributeSet);
} catch (PrintException e) {

"Going Solar" is saving some Pelican Rapids, Minnesota resident's money. They're taking part in an energy-efficient project spearheaded by Lake Region Electric Cooperative.
So far of the 96 panels available the company has sold 46. The solar panels were made in Minnesota.
"We wanted to build the array ourselves," says VP Marketing & Communications Dan Husted, "when we sell the panels we're selling our own capitalized labor and expense and that's a benefit to the rate payers."
Each panel will provide about 588kWh a year, a home could use about 10,000kWh a year on average, but homeowners could be making a deal when buying a $1,500 panel.
"So they are able to lock in their price for approximately 588kwh per year, for 20 years." Husted says.
Don't know if you will stay in the area for that long? LREC says no problem.
"The ownership of the panel can be transferred or sold. Somebody could leave it to their children, they could sell it to their neighbor, they could donate it to their church." Husted adds.
A solar panel investment would be paid off after 18 years, but the co-op says home owners would see the energy credit monthly on their bill.
"They get the benefit of a very good price, there's a certain economy a scale when you do a larger array. And our rate payers benefit because they were reimbursed for the cost of labor equipment design and engineering that we put into it." Husted says.
A clean way to use energy and help save some green.
Those in otter-tail county can purchase anywhere from one half up to 10 solar panels. To find out more information click here.

Goering, who has served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, suffered a traumatic brain injury in a bomb blast. He said his dog, Navigator, helps him with mobility, especially when he walks up or down stairs.
"I respect cops, I respect that they do," he said. "I know they don't an easy job, but my job for 20 years was to defend the country. I got shot at on a daily basis and then blown up. You know, yeah, it hurts."
Goering said he showed the cop the dog's documentation but that the officer told him only "seeing-eye dogs" are allowed on the boardwalk.
The ticket has been dismissed, but a police official said that there is "more to the incident."

vacation rental description
Crystal Village is a quiet oasis located in the heart of Mirimar Beach. Ideal for couples or small families. Don't let the tropical feel and lush landscaping fool you into thinking that the action of the beach and fun of the city are miles away. This newly furnished condo is a quick 2 block walk/drive to the beach, or a short drive to shopping, or tons of other activities. If relaxation is what you are craving, then stay in and enjoy the pool that is steps from your door. A fully equipped kitchen will allow for home cooked meals while on vacation. If you choose to dine out, the hardest decision will be where to go!
condo rental amenities
Everything you would need for a great trip. Your home away from home.
Fully equipped Kitchen with full size fridge, dishwasher, stove/oven, coffee maker, blender, toaster, dishes/glasses for 8, pots, pans, etc.
TV in each bedroom. TV in living room with DVD/VCR, cable, cards, board games, and books.
Two beach chairs, umbrella, and cart with wheels for easy transportation to the beach.
Washer/dryer, iron, ironing board, linens, towels, and hair dryer in each bathroom.
Two pools (one steps from condo, and one heated seasonally)
activities and attractions in Miramar Beach Gulf Coast North
Too much to do in one trip! Parasail over the emerald green waters, kayaking, surfing, jet ski, and boogie boarding. Or, if you are more of a land lover, the shopping is marvelous. There is a large outlet mall, less than 3 miles from the condo. For the fisherman, you may need to "reel" him away from the large Bass Pro Shop at Destin Commons. A must see would be the Village at Baytowne Wharf. Lots of shopping, food, and entertainment.
For good family fun, there are waterparks, go karts and putt putt. If you are willing to drive a little, there is the black water canoe/tubing experience, or you could visit the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola. You may even catch the Blue Angels in action.

Memories of Azeroth – Hellfire Peninsula
Through my Screenshots of the Week, I've had a few people comment about perhaps expanding it. One person suggested I do a whole post about Nagrand, since I said how much I loved it. So, here's the first of my focus on a specific zone – in screenshots. I try to limit myself on how many I will use, as it's quite easy to take a whole lot of them.
The first thing anyone notices going into Hellfire Peninsula, and the rest of Outland, is the Dark Portal. Anyone who has played any of the RTS games will know about this, and I know the first time that I went through it I was a little bit in awe. The Azeroth size of it is quite small, but seeing the enormity of the Outland side was amazing.
After going through the portal, the next stop would be your faction's respective home base: Thrallmar for the Horde, and Honor Hold for the Alliance. Each of the bases has a history, but the Alliance has a little bit more – it was founded by the Alliance Expedition Force who went through the Dark Portal many years back (the events of Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal expansion). Alleria and Turalyon and the rest of the force prevented the corruption of Outland to spread into Azeroth, and basically saved the world… along with beating up Deathwing and a few others.
Other quest hubs in the zone include Falcon Watch for the Horde, run by the Blood Elves who were longing to get to Outland to drink in the energies, and the Temple of Telhamat, run by Draenei who are also wanting to get back to Outland for different reasons. The landscapes here always strike me, even through how desolate it all is. Take the large red crystal, a focus for a small quest chain. Simply adding that in gives the area a lot more character.
Since Outland is an alien world, there has to be things that set it apart from what is considered normal. Simply looking up at the sky, and seeing energies flow across will show you that you're not in Azeroth anymore. That, along with multiple moons, gives the zone that much more of an exotic look. Before Outland was what it is now, it was a world called Draenor, but succumed to demonic corruption. One area is called the Pools of Aggonar, which is where a pit lord was once killed. His skeleton remains, along with many pools of his sickly green "blood", and creatures that feed off of it and are born of it. Definitely corrupted.
In the middle of the zone is Hellfire Citadel, where there are four instances – three 5-man dungeons and a 25-man raid. The biggest change of the instances from Vanilla to Burning Crusade was that many of them were tremendously shorter and more streamlined than before. People weren't used to being able to complete an instance in under three hours.
Once Hellfire Peninsula was done the next destination was Zangarmarsh, which will be the subject of next week's Memories of Azeroth.
Character Identity
This is part of a Shared Topic, started by Akabeko of Red Cow Rise. Make sure to check out more great posts from other Blog Azeroth authors!
What defines a person? What is the thing that is at their core, which makes them who they are? There can be many things that do this, which can be small or large parts of their lives. As a gamer, we have a way to extend these definitions of ourselves into the virtual world through the characters we play.
Of course, not everyone does this. There are people who play only for the enjoyment of what a certain character can do or a role that is required. I believe that someone who truly enjoys playing a certain character does so because it's something they can identify with.
Looking back at the characters I've played over the years, I can see a progression of how I identified with these characters and why I chose what I did. More so, I can see why I've stuck with my Tauren Druid so long and still really enjoy playing him.
Of my many characters, I'm only going to focus on two: my previous main, a Blood Elf Paladin and my current main, a Tauren Druid.
I stuck with my Paladin for a long time, starting on BC launch day and raiding as a healer through Tier 5 stuff (Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep). This was my first experience playing a melee oriented class that I actually enjoyed, as previously I had played only ranged/magic classes in my online gaming career. With this character, I found that I could identify with him somewhat.
In real life, I'm a very ordinary guy. I work for a living, I have a great family, I do very normal stuff. However, part of what I do in my job is help people out (since I work for a bank, it just happens to be financial help), and that is part of who I am.
When I focused on being a healer and a paladin, I could identify with what the paladin is supposed to be. A protector of others, putting other people ahead of one's self. As I was healing my guildmates and keeping them alive through these encounters, I could see myself in that role as well. Because of this, I believe that I stayed with the character for a while.
The Paladin was a member of the Blood Knights, originally siphoning power from M'uru, and thinking that he was just doing this for his own advancement. Yet, as time went on he realized that he actually liked being able to help others out. Rather than just being another Blood Elf minion, he established himself as a member of his guild and a vital member of a raiding team. When he found out about the betrayal of Prince Kael'thas, he decided to focus on the friends he had made in his guild and only be loosely affiliated with the Blood Knights, even though the Sunwell was restored.
My current main character was born because my wife had recently started playing WoW as well, and we wanted to level characters together. She had created a Tauren Shaman, and I wanted to create a new Druid – hoping that it was better than the original time I tried to level one in Vanilla. We had a lot of fun, and made it to max level in Burning Crusade, and I eventually made him my new main.
I see my Druid's identity as part of that original experience. He was going through the world with his wife, trying to help people out and bring glory to the Horde. His loyalty is first to his family, then to his fellow Tauren, then the Horde. This is basically how I am in my real life situation.
Our experiences shape who we are, in-game and out. Whether that is a traumatic experience that makes you cringe when you see spiders, or a smile whenever you see kittens because you just love them. If you value protecting others by keeping them safe, a healer or tank might be a good option for you because it aligns with natural personality. If you protect others by removing things that would cause others harm, there's DPS for you. What type of DPS? Take out your frustration by stabbing things as a rogue. Enjoy setting things on fire as a warlock.
WoW's longevity can be credited to a number of things, and I believe that relatable characters is a very big part. I wrote about this before regarding NPCs, but this definitely also applies to player-controlled characters as well. Why have a hero if you hate being that person?
Cataclysmic Beginnings, Part 2: Horde
In my continuing coverage of the new starting areas for the changed Azeroth, we come to the Horde. My preferred faction, the one that I've played a majority of my World of Warcraft career with. I've rolled alts galore before the changes, and I'm pretty sure that I wasn't the only one who has. After a while, the mind just goes numb and the starting zones became a blur until you just plow through it and get it over and done with.
Pre-Cataclysm, I know that all of my characters went over to Eversong Forest and Ghostlands as soon as possible. The rewards were better than any given in the other areas, and the flow was much smoother than doing the other ones. It's a little bit sad that it's now the opposite – any Blood Elf will likely try to go to Tirisfal Glades and Silverpine Forest as fast as they can, and with good reason.
One great thing that has been changed for all starting zones that is extremely useful is that there are flight paths in the starting towns, like Razor Hill or Bloodhoof Village. Less travel time is always appreciated.
Each of the remaining Horde races will be covered here: Orcs and Trolls in Durotar, Tauren in Mulgore, Blood Elves in Eversong Forest, and Forsaken in Tirisfal Glades. There will be spoilers ahead.

Think about Omar Infante, right now. Good. Feel unfamiliar? It should. Why would you spend a lot of your time thinking about Omar Infante? I don't have anything against Infante, because I don't know that much about him, but that's just the thing. Infante's just a baseball player who's been around for some years. He's not one of the compelling ones. He's not Albert Pujols, or Eric Hosmer, or Trevor Bauer, or even Matt Bush. Matt Bush has never played in a major-league baseball game, but you've probably spent more time thinking about him than Omar Infante.
Now I'm going to talk to you about Infante for a bit, though, because he's earned it. Monday afternoon, Infante started at second base for the Miami Marlins. In the fifth inning, facing Cole Hamels in Philadelphia, he hit this:
That's a short home run. In the seventh inning, facing Joe Savery, Infante hit this:
That's a short home run. A good nickname for Joe Savery would be Umami if he were talented enough to have a nickname. Anyway.
Monday, as the Marlins beat the Phillies 6-2, Omar Infante had a multi-homer game. Multi-homer games aren't always that remarkable, but they are when they come from someone like Omar Infante, and they are when you consider that this is Infante's third such game since last August 2. Let me try that again: They are when you consider that this is Infante's third such game in his last 44 starts. Last August was a while ago. Last August, England rioted.
This was also Infante's seventh multi-homer game in his career. Omar Infante has 55 career home runs, and 14 of them have come in seven games, which seems like a lot. That means just under 26 percent of Infante's home runs have come in multi-homer games. For reference, some other rates:
Sammy Sosa: 23.6%
Juan Gonzalez: 22.8%
Fred McGriff: 12.6%
Rafael Palmeiro: 11.6%
What does it mean? Almost certainly nothing. Is it interesting to observe? Almost certainly yes! Unless I have greatly overestimated the mass appeal of Omar Infante fun facts.
Along the same lines, Omar Infante now has as many career multi-homer games as Robinson Cano and Jack Cust. And Milton Bradley, and Jimmy Rollins, and Ray Durham. He has more career multi-homer games than Troy Tulowitzki, Hunter Pence, Victor Martinez, and Jason Kubel. This isn't to suggest that Omar Infante possesses some natural ability to group his home runs together. This is to suggest that Omar Infante has grouped his home runs together so far at an unusual rate.
I don't really have a lot more to say. Omar Infante is not a power hitter, but every so often he looks like a power hitter. He hit 11 home runs in the minor leagues. Oddly, he hit 16 home runs with the 2004 Detroit Tigers, in a very pitcher-friendly park. But then he dropped down to nine in 2005, and he hasn't equaled nine in any season since. As a pitcher, you usually don't have to worry too much about Omar Infante. But Omar Infante has had his superstar outings.
You might think you haven't gained much from this. But the next time someone asks you to think about Omar Infante, what do you think you're going to think about? The answer won't be "nothing."

Fannie Mae halts all foreclosure cases handled by David J. Stern
By Kim Miller
Fannie Mae said today it has halted all foreclosure proceedings that were handled by the David J. Stern law firm in Plantation, adding to a previous announcement that it would no longer send new business to the company.
According to spokeswoman Amy Bonitatibus, Fannie Mae has suspended all activity on cases with the Stern firm that are not already subject to a foreclosure pause by servicers.
"We are working closely with our regulator on this matter," Bonitatibus said. "In instances where we learn that a firm is not adhering to our requirements or to applicable law, we immediately engage and take appropriate action, which may include suspending or terminating the firm, and notifying appropriate law enforcement and regulatory authorities."
DJSP Enterprises, Inc., which handles all of David J. Stern's non-legal foreclosure issues, announced Friday it had laid off more employees as a result of reductions in foreclosure cases. A press release from the publicly-traded company said the total number of layoffs has been about 300.
Former employees of the Stern firm have said in sworn statements to state investigators that documents were regularly mishandled in foreclosure cases, including having forged signatures. An attorney for the firm has denied any wrongdoing at the office, expressing frustration that sworn statements were released without him being able to question the former employees.
