Why hello friends! We arrived safely in Dubai this morning and in a few short hours, I will be on the final leg of my flight halfway around the world. So very bizarre. Yesterday afternoon, no two days ago I think. Monday? I'm really not sure what day it is at this point. Anywho, on Monday afternoon we began our adventure. We flew from Corpus Christi to Houston and from Houston to Dubai.
Anywho,18 real hours later, here we are.We flew on the Emirates airline from Houston and it was amazing. Obviously, we sat in peasant class, but it was still nicer than the one time I got to sit in first class on another airline because they were oversold. I will definitely make sure I have a layover in Dubai the next time I fly up to Dallas. They even have a red carpet so you can easily identify the rich people.
So fancy. The rest of us had to wait in the regular ol' line with the other plebians.
We were given a hot towel while we waited for the plane to take off. I really had no idea what to do with it. Is it for my hands? My face? I eventually got that figured out with some assistance and we were off. I enjoyed a pretty delicious chicken dinner.
I initially planned to get something a little more exciting, but figured that a 14 hour plane ride wasn't the best time to start taking dietary chances. I even found something with my stripper name on it:
Perhaps the most exciting part of of the entire ride was when we realized that the booze was free. FREE. Even the hard stuff. You would have thought the flight attendant had offered us a bag a gold.
Even though drinking alcohol is not recommended for avoiding jet lag and staying hydrated while above the earth, we couldn't waste an open bar opportunity.
While enjoying my drinks (s), I watched many many movies. There were so many choices, I couldn't believe it. I watched The Words, Moonrise Kingdom, The Amazing Spider-Man, Pitch Perfect, and Total Recall. Well, I started Total Recall, but turned it off. That movie was not good. I also watched the classic Christmas favorite, hairy man knuckles.
Did you see that one? It's pretty monotonous. I had a lot of trouble sleeping (as most people do when trapped in a flying box with hundreds of strangers). I eventually gave up and and just took an Ambien. After about six hours of excessive restlessness and horrifying dreams, I woke up just in time for breakfast.
I'm not sure what that is (some sort of potato pancake situation), but it was very good. I spent the last couple of hours drinking tea and watching out the window as we flew over the Middle East. It's so depressing how little of the world I've seen. Sooooooo depressing.
Since arrival, we've spent the past few hours milling around the airport in Dubai. It's quite impressive. It makes me all kinds of sad we can't leave the airport, but I'm not sure poor people are allowed into the city anyway. I think I will save up for about 20 years and come back and see if they will let me in. It looks so fun. Also, they have Reese's. So, I can visit.
Now we are waiting for our last flight to India. We land at 4:30 am on Wednesday morning (it might be still Tuesday, I'm not sure), which is 5 in the afternoon for my parents on Tuesday. Positively mind-boggling. Also, I have to learn military time (or 24-hour time as it is known outside of America). Thankfully, my sister gave me this super spiffy watch for Christmas that has the little numbers for the 24 hour clock. That should prevent me from having to do math, which is always welcome.
Thanks Sari, you are a life saver. Anyway, I'm just haggard looking and hanging out in the most fabulous airport on earth. I have the good sense to be mildly embarrassed by the state of things. I guess it's a good thing my mom gifted me with some under-eye concealer because "you know how bad people start to look when they are tired." Probably going to need that. See y'all in India!

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for Canon making sure their product is created with the highest standard they choose for it. However, I am not happy with the way Canon is tossing their customers around. Its just not professional. I expect a company to have everything figured out, then announce the product with a release date and STICK TO IT! Think of how apple does their business. If they say a product is going to be released on July 29th, you can bet that it WILL be released on July 29th. It shows integrity and professionalism. Surely everyone is allowed to slip and have to make recalls or delay the product once in a while. But that should be the exception, not the rule.
On the flip side of that, the first revisions of Apple products are sometimes known to have quality issues... it's all a tradeoff between schedule, quality and managing expectations. I do agree that Canon shouldn't announce a product months early (or years early like the 200-400mm), and they especially shouldn't discontinue the previous product months early. That was a pretty boneheaded move on their part.

Investments on the LINE
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- What an exciting time it is to be a shareholder of Linn Energy (LINE) or its kissing cousin Linn Co. (LNCO).
The only shareholders you'd think would be more excited are those of independent energy company Berry Petroleum (BRY). That because on Thursday LINE offered to buy BRY for $2.42 billion in stock to increase its proven reserves by 34%. Shares of BRY surged 19% on the news and were up another 2% on very heavy volume Friday, closing at $46.95.
LINE moved up 2.8% on Thursday and another 2.14% on Friday, ending the week at $38.49. LNCO surged over 5% on Thursday's announcement and moved another 0.69% higher on Friday, closing at $39.27, not far away from its 52-week high of $40.40.
According to a Bloomberg report Thursday, Berry shareholders will get 1.25 shares of publicly traded LNCO, "...a corporation whose only assets are units of Linn Energy, according to a joint statement released [Thursday]. That values Berry at $46.24 a share, a 20% premium to [Wednesday's] closing price. LinnCo will sell the Berry assets to Linn Energy in exchange for additional partnership units."As of Dec. 31, 2011, BRY had working interests in 2,867 net productive oil wells and 282 net productive natural gas wells, and proved undeveloped reserves of 130.1 million barrels of oil equivalent. It sells its crude oil and gas to marketing companies or refiners. The company is also involved in the generation and sale of electricity to public utilities. Berry Petroleum was founded in 1909 and is headquartered in Denver. LINE's all-stock transaction has been beneficial to its credit ratings but still caused BRY's stock to be put under review by Moody's Investors Service. Just before the market's close on Friday, Moody's affirmed its B1 corporate family rating for Linn Energy and apparently downgraded the outlook for the oil and gas company to developing from negative due to its plans to buy BRY.

With a Liguilla spot on the line, the Mexican Primera matchup between Cruz Azul and Chivas Guadalajara is a massive one this Saturday night. Both teams are on the very fringes of Liguilla, and a loss would be seriously crippling for either team. One might think that sets up for a gentleman's draw, but with all of Monterrey, Santos, and the entirety of Group 2 lingering closely behind, neither team can afford to drop points.
Chivas will be without defender Jonny Magallon, while captain and midfield general Gerardo Torrado is questionable for Cruz Azul. Without him in the lineup, the Blue Machine were terrible last week. If Cruz Azul are going to make Liguilla, both Gonzalo Pineda and Marcelo Palau need to step up considerably. Left winger Hugo Drougett is also questionable. For Chivas, the key man is almost unquestionably Erick "Cubo" Torres, their superstar teenage striker.
Chivas haven't played well against Cruz Azul in recent tournaments, but as Tom Marshall from SB Nation's Mexican football blog FMF State of Mind points out, the conditions seem ripe for a change in fortunes.
Chivas Guadalajara haven't won against Cruz Azul in six games and the "Celestes" (Cruz Azul) home form has been the main why they are still in play-off contention. The Mexico City team go into the game as slight favorites.
As a caveat though, Cruz Azul have been inconsistent all season. Their last two results tell the wider story of their season. On April 13, Cruz Azul thrashed champions Monterrey 3-0 at home but three days later lost on the road 2-0 to lowly Puebla.
We'll have to see tonight. The game kicks off at 6 pm ET, 5 pm local time.

DALLAS — An animal rescue group thinks someone stuck a jar on a pit bull's head to train other dogs to fight.
Animal Allies of Texas first noticed the dog last week walking along Polk Avenue.
Rescuer Melody Hamilton said the jar had been there at least five days, and was cut so precisely, it had to have been done on purpose to use the dog as bait.
"This was deliberate. This wasn't something from the trash that the dog got into because he was hungry. This was put on him with the specific goal of him not being able to defend himself," Hamilton said.
Some of Hamilton's fellow volunteers finally caught the dog on Monday morning and took him to Metro Paws Animal Hospital.
"He came in pretty emotionally distressed. He was really nervous, anxious, and definitely had been through a lot," said Associate Veterinarian Dr. Shana Robson.
According to Robson, the dog — who they named "Pappy" — was under weight, had fleas and ticks, and several fight wounds. An injury on his paw was so severe, the hospital had to amputate one of his toes.
Dr. Robson said she can help him heal physically, but Pappy will need lots of one-on-one care once he leaves the hospital.
"He's going to need a good foster home where someone can work on his emotional needs as well," she said.
Anyone with information on what happened to Pappy can call police with tips, or click here to contact Animal Allies of Texas.
You can also donate money to help with Pappy's hospital bills by calling the rescue group at 972-967-2266.

The Turnbull connection | An ancestry of passing acquaintance
A painting of the borderlands, copyright © 2001 William Turnbull.
Soon the wistfulness of Saturday mornings will return. Listening to Scottish-football broadcasts over the Internet—a new season in the Bank of Scotland Scottish Premier League starts on 30 July—puts us in mind of ancestry and separation. Sometime in the past, decisions of forebears cut us off from roots in the border country, from the history of deep-seated animosities and, ultimately, from the game Scots are said to have exported and transformed into a passing art from its beginnings as "dribble 'til you die." The Turnbulls occupied land in the Rule Valley, and it is unknown if they attach or have attached themselves to a particular football team. Our queries in this regard went unanswered last year, although the local preference seems to be for rugby.
Evidence exists from multiple sources, however, that Turnbulls traditionally were a troublesome lot—hooligan prototypes, if you will. The surname, recorded for the first time in 1315 (one year after Bannockburn), occurs frequently in the relevant editions of Pitcairns Criminal Trials. As for relations with neighbors, clan rivalries and the repulsion of border incursions make interesting reading in sources such as The Clan Turnbull:
It is recorded that twelve castles situated in the valley of the Rule were in 1545 burnt, plundered and dismantled by the English, to whom the Turnbulls were most obnoxious. With all their faults, they were deadly enemies to the English and whenever a raid took place on the middle marshes, the Turnbulls were always to be found.
In Scotland as a whole, the thread of distaste toward the English continues, although not on the order of blood and soil (note 1). Even though Scottish football moves on in a beleaguered state, pride of history and the spirit of one-upsmanship remain when eyes look south.
The spirit is well presented in a two-part documentary that aired on Radio Scotland last month, It Wes Us, hosted by Billy Kay (see podcast interview of 31 May 07). The title refers to the Scots' claim to have been modernizers of association football, having advanced it in the 19th century from a crude dribbling game as practiced in England public schools to an aesthetically pleasing mix of players creating space and passing. Special notice in this development goes to Queen's Park of Glasgow, formed in 1867 by members of the YMCA. Richard McBrearty, curator of the Scottish Football Museum at Hampden Park in Glasgow, tells Kay about the shift from an English to Scottish ethos:

Bourne Firefighters are braving the cold for 103 hours to help out some local charities.
"We do it because it's a great cause and it helps out our community," said Brian Rooney, Firefighter.
They started Wednesday morning and will stay outside the Bay Motor Inn on Main Street in Bourne until Sunday afternoon.
The firefighters team up with radio station Pixy 103 for the fundraiser, which is called Homeless for the Holidays. It has raised more than a hundred thousand dollars over the last 12 years.
The firefighters say the cold doesn't even cross their minds.
"We have a couple of barrels of fire going," said Rooney.
"It's all about the layers," said Matt Barry, Pixy 103.
People making donations are inspired by the firefighter's efforts.
"They stand out here, it's so cold, every year when I come it's snowing, freezing. It's so cold and they stand here every year," said Beth Snyder.
"God bless them, that's all I got to say God bless them be with them keeping them going, coming back every year to help the little kids, help the families that need it," said Gina Monteiro.
The firefighters say anyone is welcome to stop by no matter what time whether it's 2 pm or 2 am.

Israel to Ignore Mitchell Report, Hand Over Settlement Housing in Occupied East Jerusalem
Israeli Army Radio on Thursday quoted unnamed municipal officials as saying that Jewish settlers would move into housing units in occupied east Jerusalem's Abu Ghneim Mount Arab area in October.
The area, known to Israelis as Har Homa, overlooks the West Bank city of Bethlehem. The project has triggered angry reactions from Palestinians, who see the expansion plan as part of an Israeli strategy to surround occupied east Jerusalem with settlements.
The radio said that following a housing ministry decision to grant special incentives to prospective buyers in the project, Har Homa home sales showed a significant rise last month, bringing the number of purchased houses to more than 730.
Home-buying in Har Homa halted almost completely after the September outbreak of the Intifada.
The demand to freeze Israeli settlement expansion is included in the US-led Mitchell committee's report on ways to end "violence" in the Occupied Territories.
There are about 200,000 Jewish settlers living in the West Bank. According to the international law, settlements are illegal and a form of occupation which the Palestinians have been fighting to end for 34 years – Albawaba.com

Judge orders co-guardianship for Michael Jackson's kids
LOS ANGELES, USA (AP) — A judge yesterday reinstated Katherine Jackson as the guardian of Michael Jackson's three children in an arrangement that also keeps their cousin as temporary co-guardian.
Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff said during a hearing that an investigator who looked into the children's care found that the late pop star's 82-year-old mother was an excellent guardian and the children love her very much.
"I think the kids are in terrific hands," the judge said. "It appears from the report that Katherine Jackson has done a wonderful job and cares about the children very much."
Beckloff noted that the children, Prince, 15, Paris, 14 and Blanket, 10, also have a close relationship with their 34-year-old cousin TJ Jackson, who was named co-guardian after working closely with Katherine Jackson since Michael Jackson died.
TJ is "incredibly respectful" of the family matriarch and she is respectful of him, the judge said.
Beckloff said he will finalise the arrangement later in the month but for now he will issue letters of co-guardianship allowing both Jacksons to make decisions about the children's welfare.
The shared guardianship plan is apparently designed to remove pressure from Katherine Jackson who was previously named in her son's will as the children's sole guardian.
Perry Sanders Jr, her lawyer, has said the arrangement will allow his client to focus on the children's upbringing and not on home or logistics issues.
TJ Jackson was appointed temporary guardian in a court hearing last week after a bizarre episode in which Katherine Jackson was reported missing but later turned up at an Arizona spa with family members.
Beckloff said last week that he didn't believe Jackson had done anything wrong but suspended her guardianship duties because she had been out of contact with her grandchildren for 10 days.
The changes in guardianship come on the heels of family dissension over Michael Jackson's will, which left nothing to his siblings when he died three years ago. Several of them signed a letter that was leaked to the media alleging the will was a fake and calling on executors of the estate to resign.

Most people wouldn't normally wear their sneakers with dress clothes, but that was the popular look at the Capitol building today.
Around 800 people wore their sneakers for the American Cancer Society's "Suits and Sneakers" campaign.
Everyone had to pay $5 to wear their running shoes.
All of the money goes towards the Bismarck-Mandan Relay for Life.
Kim Kuhlmann with the American Cancer Society says around 16 departments are participating.
"It was an opportunity for us to make a difference and to do something that we all thought was important," State Treasurer Kelly Schmidt said. "I have a staff, myself included, that has been affected by cancer and whether it's a staff member, a neighbor, a family member, a close friend, we just thought that this was an opportunity for us to make a difference in a small way but in a way."
The American Cancer Society is holding a city-wide "Suits and Sneakers" challenge on March 18th, the first day of March Madness.

The University of Miami baseball team kicked off its season-long, seven-game homestand with a 6-2 victory against Maine on a breezy Tuesday night.
The team was happy to be back home, after dropping two games to Florida in Gainesville in 30-degree weather over the weekend.
"It was a big win for us," UM coach Jim Morris said. "We needed to get back on a positive state of mind and get some wins going to get our confidence back."
And if anyone should get a confidence boost from this game, it's freshman pitcher Thomas Woodrey.
The 6-3, 190-pound left-hander recorded his second win of the season — holding the Black Bears to three hits and one run through eight innings.
"I think the key to my success today was pitching to contact, a lot of early in the count hits and a great performance from my defense," he said.
Strong defensive performances have been the backbone to the Canes success thus far. Even with a young infield, UM has held a .971 fielding percentage over the past 13 games, ranking it fifth best in the Atlantic Coastal Conference.
The Canes (11-2) scored early in the second inning when freshman shortstop Brandon Lopez' hit to third took a big hop over the third baseman's head, scoring Alex San Juan, who reached on an error.
UM scored once more in the third inning and then got the scoring going again in the seventh.
Ricky Eusebio, who hit a double in the third, got the ball rolling with a lead off line drive single to left. The freshman out of Homestead would then steal second, advance to third on a throwing error and score on a pass ball to put the Canes up 3-1.
Black Bears pitcher Shaun Coughlin would then load the bases with no out. Brad Fieger followed with a two-run RBI single to left to extend his hit streak to 12-consecutive games.
The Canes are back at home Wednesday night at 6 against UCF.

PLAINFIELD — The first Little Free Library was installed this week in Plainfield with the help of Duke Energy.
The libraries are essentially boxes where the community can exchange books for free. Individuals can take and leave books of their choosing. The staff at the Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library will be stocking the boxes with free books that have been donated by the Friends of the Library, as well as the local Barnes & Noble book store.
Duke Energy donated $6,000 toward the project — $5,000 to build the boxes and $1,000 to purchase new books for the project.
The company's president of Indiana's operations, Doug Esamann, ceremoniously installed the first Little Free Library in the Duke Energy Garden which can be found near the Plainfield Parks and Recreation Department's pedestrian bridge. The garden is near U.S. 40, next to the Dairy Queen.
"We try to do what we can to support the community," Esamann said. "Education is also a main focus for our foundation. This was a great project to be involved in."
Joanna Carter, the library's PR and outreach associate, has worked on the project since its inception. She had gone to the Town of Plainfield and asked if the council would allow the structures to be placed around the community.
"Renea Whicker (town council member) asked me if I had talked to Steve Bahr from Duke Energy about the project," Carter said. "She got us connected and I wrote a grant to the Duke Energy Foundation."
A group of Duke Energy employees volunteered to help build the boxes. The plan is to install 20 Little Free Libraries at various sites around Plainfield, including areas that do not have direct access to the library. The libraries will be decorated by the Hendricks County Arts Council.
The project is designed to help cultivate the love of reading and lifelong learning within the community. The library staff will also keep information on how to get a library card in the boxes for those who stop and pick up a book.
Anyone who cares to donate to the Little Free Libraries may drop books off at the Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library at 1120 Stafford Road, Plainfield.

Weston's nearby location of Mahoney's Garden Center is back open for the holiday season and it's jumping right into the holiday giving with another year of hosting Trees for Troops.
Mahoney's locations throughout Massachusetts, including the one closest to Weston on Route 20 in Wayland, are serving as the hub for the Trees for Troops program in the Commonwealth. Trees for Troops allows individuals to purchase a holiday tree that will donated to a military family serving in the U.S. or overseas.
A press release from Mahoney's relays a message from a previous recipient, quoted from the Trees for Troops website:
"I wanted to thank you deeply for the tree that you gave me and my family for Christmas this year. My husband is currently serving in Afghanistan and I knew that the holidays were going to be especially hard on me and my two children. All of our Christmas things are in storage, so I thought we weren't going to be able to have a tree or any decorations this year. When I found out about Trees for Troops I couldn't have been more excited, because now our holiday will be just a little bit brighter because of your generosity. Thank you."
To participate, individuals can visit Mahoney's and purchase a tree for $24.50. Each participant will also have the opportunity to write a personal message on a special tree card.
Those wishing to donate by phone can do so by calling the Trees for Troops hotline at (781) 721-4691.
"We're very excited about the new Trees for Troops Hotline," said Paul Waxman, director of marketing for Mahoney's Garden Centers, in a press release. "Last year we learned that many people would have loved to donate a tree, but where too busy to drive to one of our stores. So now they can just call and charge one on a credit card."
The program ends on Sunday, Dec. 2. At that time, Mahoney's will collect all the trees and cards and prepare them for shipment via FedEx. Last year's trees went to military families all along the east coast, and this year's trees will take a similar path including some that will go to the Boston Coast Guard Station, according to the press release.

With winter conditions soon approaching, the fire service is left to contend with additional demands due to heavy snowfall and extreme temperature conditions. The hazards and complications of winter firefighting can be overcome by firefighters developing a basic understanding of those hazards and conditions and properly preparing for them beforehand.
Response Safety
Year after year, responding to and from emergency calls is one of the leading activities being performed in studies of firefighter fatalities. Cold weather, contributing to extreme road conditions, will only increase the amount of risk that we are exposed to.
Preparing for winter response starts with making certain that our apparatus is ready and in top operating condition (as it should be at all times). In particular, driver/operators should make certain that they are familiar with the operations of window defrosters, heat vents and brake retarders on their particular apparatus as well as their department's guidelines for operating a "dry" versus "wet" pump during winter months.
Coating the threads of any fittings or port caps with straight antifreeze will help prevent them from freezing without damaging any gaskets and should performed as needed in daily vehicle checks. A spray bottle can be filled with antifreeze and kept on the rig for this purpose.
Increased stopping distances, decreased visibility and unpredictable actions of civilian motorists can all be expected in extreme weather and will have a negative impact on response. Routes of travel to alarms will need to take snow/ice removal and accessibility to the incident into consideration.
Is there a plan in place to have the public works department assist the fire department with snow removal resources in the event of an extreme winter storm? Discussing this and having a plan in place prior to needing it will definitely be advantageous.
Taking the proper precautions necessary in extreme weather is going to cause extended response times. How will this influence the actions of the first due companies? The important point to remember - the fire department is of no value unless it is able to arrive on scene safely.
Fireground Concerns
Once having arrived on scene, the company officer will have to make critical decisions on the commitment of apparatus. Questions that need to be considered: are tactical positions attainable or are they blocked by snow banks? Are additional lengths of hose needed to be added to pre-connected lines to make it to the building? Can personnel access all sides of the building and are there any hazards or obstacles present that are not visible due to snow or ice such as stairs, drop offs or in ground swimming pools?
Are fire hydrants visible and accessible - both prior to and after streets are plowed? Firefighters should ensure hydrants are accessible after severe storms before they freeze by routinely checking on them and clearing snow from them. Attaching flags or a marking device that sticks up a ways in the air can also make it easier to spot a hydrant covered by snow.
Another solution that has been successful is a program called "Pluggie's Pals" where school children and their parents work with the fire department to make certain that a fire hydrant near their property is distinguished with a marker pole prior to a winter storm and are also given the responsibility of clearing their assigned fire hydrant of snow after a storm- in return, a picnic is often held for the children and attended by firefighters in the spring to say thank you to the kids.
Once finding the hydrant, is it usable or frozen? Small hand held propane torches can be of great use to free frozen hydrant caps or hose couplings during cold weather and should be placed on the rig for winter months.
Once committed and flowing water, engine companies will need to keep water moving in some manner to keep hoselines, ladder pipes, valves and pumps from freezing solid. Static water will freeze readily as we already know at 32 degrees Fahrenheit but if enough movement is provided, water will not freeze spontaneously until the ambient temperature reaches -40 degrees Fahrenheit.

To Blog Or Not To Blog0
So it was brought to my attention today that some people thought I had started my Blog as a source of competition with a friend of mine. Initially when this fact was relayed to me I thought it was a dig at me. Upon discussing it with said person, we both stated that it wasn't the case and that we know the truth which is all that really matters. However, later in the day, I have come to realise that it was said in a joking way; isn't that always the case? You don't always get the right context in something that is written but only after something is said to you, can you understand the actual meaning. So I won't take too much offence from this. However given the initial circumstance, I'd still like to post what I wrote as that's how I was feeling at the time and a lot of it remains true.
Rant incoming…. (from original post)
I never even thought about competing with this person and I would have thought that one of these people who I thought I knew quite well would not think this of me too but it appears I was wrong. Just how do they think we're competing exactly? For stats or comments? Our subject material may both be about WOW, but our posts show two very different points of view.
Now I did start writing my online journal back in Apr 2010 on our Guild website as a way to express my thoughts and vent about certain things at the time; so yes, I did this more for myself. But lately, around the time I did the Thanksgiving Blog Azeroth post (which I was encouraged to do by said person) I was still posting on my journal which didn't provide an easy way for people to leave messages if they wanted to. This was something I thought was lacking, especially if I wanted to see if my words were reaching people and if it felt as though I was leaving myself out there emotionally – I was extremely hesitant about how vulnerable a single post could make me feel and took me a while before I actually hit the post button. But I did it because I had something that I wanted to share, that meant the world to me.
I don't think people realise that this certain blogger and I share a lot of things in common. In fact, if it wasn't for me then a lot of the people I know in game would not even be able to call her a guild mate or friend since I'm the reason that she started playing to begin with. We have known each other for 16 years now and I don't think we would still be this close if we didn't share at least a few interests. I would have to say we share more than a few but it's because of these main interests that I believe we are still friends today.
I just had to get this off my chest.
Now on the other hand, one comment can really make your day. I was wondering if people found my posts interesting as I have been posting about the same type of things lately, but comments like
"You make really interesting posts, I like all the cool random things about wow that people miss out on"
"farmed all my trophys today, thanks to you!"
…can really give me a new lease on writing. Thx Roshii :D
An interesting thing happened to me this morning… I was woken up by a friend of mine asking me why I was a male Blood Elf? My first response was "What!?" But after thinking a moment and if you saw my two earlier posts from last night you'd know I was playing around with various effects for my trinket posts. One of the last things I tried was Leyara's Locket and the Simian Sphere in tandem. At least I still had the effect from the locket when I logged out. I was actually trying to do the Orb or Deception with the Simian Sphere and forgot to click the Orb as I was testing which costumes worked and which ones didn't. I did try a deviate as the first effect I tried though so I never realised I went from being a ninja > iron dwarf > male flaming NE (ok just now it dawned on me that I'm not normally a male NE when I pop the trinket). Hey it was late when I did it…
So when Navimie asked Coolidge why I was a male BE, I heard his response was an angry, sad face. Awww. He should know I wouldn't make a male toon. I learnt my lesson from the first and only male I made in WoW.
This is what you would have seen if you'd looked me up on Armory…
I admit I got a real kick out of seeing myself like this. I mean, don't you think he looks rather fetching in a Mooncloth robe and accessories? Maybe it's the Elvis Presley snarl that makes him look even more menacing. LOL, as if I'd dress my male BE like that… if I hypothetically had one :P
PS. I've always loved this hairstyle for male BE's. So I guess in a way it was kismet…
Vrykul Drinking Horn5
December 31, 2011
by Cymre in Archaeology
The Vrykul Drinking Horn is a rare archaeology artifact that requires 375 skill to find and 100 Vrykul Archaeology Fragments to solve. Up to 3x Vrykul Rune Stick keystones may be used to complete it. It gives you a 10min buff that increases your size, puts a Vrykul helm on you and a manly roar. Interestingly enough there is no CD on the horn.
Things to note
- Don't have your character zoomed in while you fly over Brunnhildar Village as you may just scare the beegeebeez out of yourself, like I did :P
Things to try
- Stacks with Leyara's Locket;
- Macro it to something you would use often and you've got yourself a permabuff!

The cartoon (by R Sagar in the Himalayan Times May 8, 2009), seems a perfect caption to the picture I have been drawing of the Maobadi in my recent articles. We can see how the last couple of day's events have verified and filled in that picture. In the last post I said:
<i>The strategy of acquiring effective state power on behalf and for the use of the people has not changed. The tactics of quitting the government are aimed at paralyzing the remaining parties and the eventual return of the Maoists in a majority government, a government that cannot be formed until Yadav's decision is reversed, possibly requiring as well Yadav's removal and replacement by Singh or another who would not pull the Yadav stunt. In effect a new government of this type would enable a return to a politics of consensus, but not including the influence of international interests. </i>
I had also earlier made some argument based on the distribution of Constituent Assembly seats. Though the totals relationships were correct I did have some wrong information about the exact numbers which are correct I hope here:
Sadbhavana 9
The above comprise 553 of the 601 total and the remaining 48 seats are shared by 17 other parties. The majority count is 301. This emphasizes the position of the three party 83 seat block concerned with the Tarai region. As of today May 8, 2009, the MJF says it will back the UML lead government proposed by the NC (NC + UML + MJF = 276). If the Tarai block including TMDP and Sadbhavana stay with MJF then the total would be 306, enough.
Enough except there are factions in all the parties that favor the Maoists leading the new government. The Tarai block had been very split until G. P. Kiorala of NC promised to honor previous agreements made these groups before the CA vote, agreements that would have been in effect if the NC had won the elections. The Maoists nonetheless envision a Federation much required by the MJF which is contrary to the scheme of a U.K. type of parliamentary government formulated by the NC and UML. The Tarai groups definitely want the regional autonomy. In addition to these "soft" seats, the UML minority faction led by Chairman Jhala Nath Khanal has been an ally to Prachanda and in fact his nod to the firing of Katawal is what led to his present isolation and the choice of Madhav Kumar Nepal as the NC pick for the new UML PM.
Meanwhile the National Army released a video of Prachanda, "commissioned for" by none other than General Katawal (planning the recording in advance), wherein PM Dahal in discourse to his PLA commanders in the run up to the CA elections reveals: plan to change the integration to unit by unit contrary to the CPA, a deception committed in the verification of combatants in setting up cantonment, the diversion of funds earmarked for cantonments being diverted in large part for weapons and other preparations for revolt. Basically it's been a well timed insertion of fodder into the theories of totalitarian take-over by the Maobadi.
The video scandal has cut across not only the demands for reversal of the Katawal decision, but a far more important story in the Supreme Court requiring of President Yadav and General Katawal explanations of why their actions are not unconstitutional. This comes in the wake of Maobadi central committee decisions including the requirement that the President retract the decision and Katawal be sacked at last. If not, then the Maoists will not join government. The SC decision could put an end to the Katawal question by ruling the President wrong, paving the way for the UCPN(M) to join government.
There could be some tightness in the numbers, but many factors support the likely numerical superiority of the Maobadi. Over-riding all that is the simple fact that Maoist deputies are disrupting the House and they intend to do so until the Yadav decision is corrected. The YCL in some districts are attacking and threatening rival party cadre. Maoist street demonstrations continue to disrupt the city daily. The MJF swing to the NC plan of a UML led government may be irrelevant if the Maoists can block all progress till they get what they want.
If the UML and MJF can cooperate, then why not the Maoists and the NC. A house controlled by a UCPN(M) led majority, with supremacy established over the army, could emerge with Katawal gone and a new President from any of the parties, even the NC. Such would be a national government with all the parties involved. This could come to pass in the wake of a SC decision that the President's argument is false. The interim constitution clearly reflects a British style parliamentary democracy wherein no authority is granted to a head of state; in which case a failure of consensus could not occur since authority is granted to the cabinet whose ministers serve with the PM, who makes final decisions whether there is consensus or not.
The Maobadi tactics appear to be working inasmuch as Prachanda having left the chair still stands astride the chair and decides who sits or doesn't . The Maoist tactics bypass consensus when decisions on vital issues to its vision are at stake. The need for civilian control of the army is one such issue. The means of House disruptions and street actions demanding civilian authority are taken as a sign of Maoist authoritarian intent. Contrary to that picture, the PM stepping down shows a democratic intent – but clearly we are not talking about your granddaddy's democracy.

After a shutout win in their lone exhibition matchup on Sunday, UND men's hockey team begins regular season play at home this weekend against Vermont.
Junior Michael Parks, sophomore Drake Caggiula and freshman Luke Johnson netted the goals for UND on Sunday while Coach Hakstol tinkered with different lineups but says this weekend things get serious.
"Well this is for real so there's four points on the line so the whole mindset changes," Hakstol said. "I talked a lot in media day last week that we were fully in an evaluation stage and that's the way we were approaching our entire week last week. While we're still going through the early part of our season and we're going to continue to evaluate guys, that shifts to a whole different level and it's about winning hockey games."
The Catamounts picked up a pair of exhibition wins last weekend, defeating Ottawa 7-0 on Saturday and Acadia 4-1 on Sunday.
