Welcome to your last edition from Provence. Yes, the time has come, my bags are packed and I'm ready to jet off. My summer in Provence has come to a conclusion with one spectacular thunderstorm, and a twilight run through the forest.
I guess that even baby-R has picked up on my excitement about returning home, and so the little fella' has been giving me an extra tough time around bedtime. Murphy's law: when it's your very last chance to go for a run in Provence, the little Monsieur would refuse to go to sleep. Desperate to get my trainers on before darkness completely set in I threaten the baby with the bottle of Saline Nasal Spray: Take your dummy and sleep, or else…
Desperate times call for desperate measures?
No success until finally!, a bit after sunset, he closes his eyes. Die Geisterstunde has arrived. l'heure bleue. The Witching Hour between sunset and darkness, when the spirits come out to walk the earth… But I'm desperate to go for a final run along the wooded paths, passing the grassy fields of Route de Grimaldi, catching glimpses of ancient chapels en route, pounding on cobbled stone streets, and up that last steep hill to get back home. Before complete darkness.
Where are the days when I could still take a run after baby's bedtime, plus a long swim in the pool until darkness set in around 10pm? Never mind, I'm off!
Was it because of the threat of approaching darkness that I find myself only focused on my breathing and the next spot to place my foot along the gravelly roads? Maybe the rustling in the bushes reminding me of the native wolves, foxes and sanglier? Perhaps the sight of the savage Medieval Troupe camping on the Soccer fields keeping me from dilly-dallying? Or perhaps it was just the delicious pasta dish we had for lunch that keeps my heart pumping rhytmically, and my breathing regular and calm.
Before I know it I'm home in record time. Feeling satisfied and content after my last run, knowing that I had stuck to my resolution of keeping up my fitness routine for the whole summer. Actually a good description of my feeling about completing this trip. Satisfied and content, and in expectation of good times ahead.
The mirror
Long ago, in a country where nobody had ever seen a mirror, a man out for a stroll came accross a market.
Suddenly, he stops in front of the display of a merchant from afar. He leans over a mirror, sees his reflection and says: This is amazing, it looks like my father! Delighted, he buys the strange object. He goes home and carefully puts it safely in the attic.
The following days he regularly contemplates the image of his father in the mirror. The woman of the house is astonished: What is my husband doing going to the attic so often?
One morning, she follows him and sees him open the chest. He looks inside for a long time and then closes the chest. Then she waits until he leaves and visits the trunk herself. She finds the mirror and bends over to look into it. What she discovers is a woman, a very beautiful woman.
In the evening, when her husband returns she grabs him violently by the shirt:
- Since when do you have a mistress?
- What did you say?, responds the husband. I do not understand what you are saying.
The woman pulls him by the arm and leads him to the chest. She shows him the mirror. The man shrugs:
- You can not see clearly, this is a man who looks like my father!
Upset, the woman grabs the mirror and looks again at her own reflection:
- Liar! This is a beautiful woman. You're a coward, you do not even dare to tell the truth.
The husband cries out louder and they end up arguing all night long.
In the morning, they go to the judge to find a solution to this matter. The Judge listens to each complainant and asks to see the strange object. He examines the mirror and becomes pale:
Misfortune upon misfortune, a man dressed as a judge. This is probably my replacement! I will quit my job.
He goes off without making a judgment and leaves the plaintiffs with the mirror. The husband goes home, still disgruntled.
The next day, the woman gets a visit from her old mother.
- This is terrible, she says, my husband has a mistress. What do you advise me to do?
– Show me the woman, answers mother, and I will tell you what to do.
The woman is taken to the attic:
- Here it is just! Open the trunk and you will see it.
The mother opens the trunk and leans over the mirror. She broke out laughing: - Do not worry, it's a toothless old woman, she's ugly as a louse.
This story is finished, it is the pure truth. And if you ever doubt it you can go there to find out for yourself…

We love this comforter!!! I have never purchased a down comforter before. We really did our homework and poured over the internet for hours and even weeks before we made our purchase. I highly depended on the reviews from other customers on Overstock to make up my mind. Not only was this a fabulous price for a higher thread count, higher fill and baffle box design...It is a far better bargain than any of the department stores can come close too. Most of the down comforters that I have found in other stores were literally half the thread count and fill level-and more than double or triple the price. It looks beautiful on our king sized bed and is SO warm. We live in Massachusetts and even for us, it does the job. I actually think that it may be too warm to use year round, but that is fine with me. It really feels like you are sleeping in a cloud. The first night that we used it, my husband overslept his alarm by 45 minutes! He NEVER does that. My kids all love snuggling into the covers in the morning too. The only issue I have was that it doesn't completely fill our duvet cover, but that may be the actual cover's fault! It hangs over generously on our bed, so I wouldn't doubt that it is oversized. I have not found any issues with the fill being unevenly distributed. Our comforter is distributed nicely. All in all, we are so happy that we made this purchase. I now think that everyone needs a down comforter!
After I received the comforter and it had time to sit and fluff up, I was so excited. I read other reviews for other down comforters here and they would mention crunchy noise and not fluffy enough. This is the complete opposite. The fabric is really soft, the individual pillow pockets are fluffy. It feels realy warm and snuggly too. I am a super cold person and this is the first comforter where I have felt very comfortable sleeping. I have a queen size bed and I ordered a king which I recommend. Because it is so fluffy, it needs more length to come down the sides far enough. Top quality at a great price!!!
I definitely think that this might be the perfect down comforter for someone in say, Arizona or New Mexico but I keep a very cold room during our Michigan winters and the overall bulk and warmth of what I thought this comforter would entail is just not there. I prefer my down comforters extra fluffy and cozy, which this comforter just is not. :-(
I have been an overstock.com customer for years and never had a bad purchase until this comforter. This is the WORST PURCHASE EVER. I would never recommend this to anyone. The baffles are spotty - even after days of trying to fluff them out. There is not enough filling overall and it is NOTHING like the picture what-so-ever. I would have returned it in a heartbeat, but I honestly thought it would have fluffed out and then when it didn't I put it in the dryer like another individual had commented and still nothing. A terrible dissappointement and if I ever get another comforter like this from overstock, I might think twice about purchasing something like this from them again. They should totally discontinue selling this product as it will continue to give them a bad name.
this comforter is THIN. It is NOT oversized and is NOT worth the money. Pocket in the comforter were missing fill... there were no tags on the comforter either... ANYBODY could have made it. It sounds fancy and dreamy but DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!!
I have a 350 thread count comforter, and this didn't feel that much different. It may have been a tiny bit softer, but nothing significant. The odor from the plastic or fibers in the comforter would not leave, despite leaving it on two drying rack with fans & open windows for nearly a week. It just made the room smell bad. This was quite flat when laid on the bed (and drying rack) and didn't seem to ever puff up much. I've been told this has to do with the quality and size of the feathers inside (fill power). Siberian down sounds good to me - but in my case it wasn't one of those big fluffy cloud comforters (which some people may prefer, who don't like to be very warm). One good thing about it is that it wasn't as "noisy" as some comforters have been from other places....where they make a crunching sound every time you move them. I had a very good comforter from Overstock for a few years that was beyond anything you'd find in a luxury hotel - so I think this is a good place to order from. I was just a bit disappointed in this one.
After extensively researching reviews I decided to go with this product and I am very happy I did. It shipped quickly and fluffed up well after packaging. We have to refluff about once a week to maintain it, but I usually do it nightly so I get that puffy cloud like texture that I love. It keeps you nice and toasty (I'm always cold) but might be a bit warm for hotter climates or for people who get warm while sleeping. Overall very satisfied and I would recommend.
I bought this down comforter to replace an older one that I planned to move to our spare room. I wanted a new one that would mirror the fill power of the one being retired. I found this on sale for a really good price. It arrived in perfect condition, and is exactly what I wanted. Warm and very soft. I like the oversized aspect; it fits our queen bed perfectly. Very good value!!
For the price I expected a better product. 10 years ago I purchased a lower thread count product that cost less than this, even today it's priced lower, but it currently has most loft(puffiness) in each panel than this comforter. It was *** at time of purchase and was amazing. I would have purchased the same one if it were still in stock. I waited a few days and this one never puffed up like it said it would. The material is fine and it's light weight so since my daughter who is 5 doesn't need a heavy blanket, I just placed this in her duvet since we planned on a new one for her later. I am so let down by this mislabeled product I will never order these things from overstock again. Is rather pay more but know what I am getting. Don't waste your time.
Such a great comforter! The value is amazing. When you first receive it seems very thin and flat. Once you fluffy and air it out a while you will wonder how it ever fit in the bag. Great Value, warm, and fluffy! <3

This program focuses on relationship and society. It is an exploration of the nature of society and what it might mean to help our world. Teachings focus on bodhichitta, communication, virtue and how society arises as an expression of interconnectedness. Participants will learn the practice of Tonglen, "sending and taking".
The Basic Goodness SeriesWho Am I? The Basic Goodness of Being Human is the first of three new courses called the Basic Goodness Series. These three courses need to be taken in sequence. The second course is called How Can I Help? The Basic Goodness of Society, and the third course is entitled What is Real? The Basic Goodness of Reality. These courses are interactive and aspire to create a learning environment where the teachings are intimate, and also relevant to the times in which we live.
In general the Basic Goodness Series presents Shambhala and Buddhist teachings in an experiencial way, with an emphasis on understanding the view and meaning of these teachings. This series is a powerful journey through the complete view and experience of basic goodness–our personal experience, our experience with others, and our relationship with the reality of life itself.
PrerequisitesAt least one of the following classes:- Who Am I? The Basic Goodness of Being Human- Shambhala Training Level 1: The Art of Being Human- Contentment in Everyday Life- or a Graduate of previously defined Shambhala Training paths
Acharya Alan Schwartz became a student of Shambhala in 1970, when Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche first arrived and began to teach in North America. For four years he resided at Karme Choling and Maitri, both newly-founded meditation communities, until taking up residence in Boulder, where he founded numerous businesses. In the 1980's, Alan served for five years as the principal executive officer of four 3-month seminary programs. It was during this period that he received his "basic training", working closely with Chogyam Trungpa on these seminal teaching events. During that time he was also appointed to serve as teacher-in-residence to Shambhala's San Francisco community, which he did for nine years. In 2010 he was appointed a Shastri, and appointed an Acharya in 2012. In 1989 Alan married Kerry Golemon Schwartz. They have raised two children, and continue to teach actively in the Bay Area under the guidance of Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche. Alan is particularly inspired to serve under Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche's leadership and is inspired by his vision for social transformation, and in particular the application of profound Shambhala Buddhist teachings in areas of worldly impact, such as working with the energy of business and wealth, and transforming materialism to activity which benefits society.

Moving On Up
I have mentioned before that I was working on a goblin priest for an alt, something I've wanted to do for a while. That priest is finally level 85, and heroic ready… but the process was a little bit different from the expected.
Originally, my thought was to try to level through the dungeon finder to work on healing skills as I had never healed on a priest before. It worked out well for quite a while until level 41, when I got too frustrated at other people and then decided to just take the plunge and quest with a shadow spec. This ended up being a good plan, as I now have the basics of both specs down.
The thing that was scaring me was the idea of healing Cataclysm instances. On my druid, I have done all of them multiple times (excepting the new Zandalari ones), so it wasn't that I didn't know the fights. I had the simple fear of failing at something that I set out to accomplish. Many times I've been in a group where there's been one member that was doing a very bad job at their role and I was afraid that one day I'd turn into them.
Once my item level was high enough – unfortunately heirlooms make this a bit difficult, as they're an item level 1 – I decided to give it a try. From when I first made my priest, I decided to use discipline as my healing spec since it looked like fun, and so far it has been. Having the multiple methods of damage prevention and utilities make it so I have more tricks up my sleeve, and hopefully will make the run go smoother.
All in all the regular instances went fairly well. It didn't stop me from being nervous through all of the runs, but at least we were able to make it through them. The hurdle now is the transition into healing heroics.
I've done a number of heroic runs with my shadow spec, getting drops and justice points to improve my gear before I try to heal them. As of last night, I am at the point where I think my gear is ready to go into a heroic. There are a few fights that I'm worried about that have high levels of damage, and whether I'd be able to cope with the stress.
Unfortunately, I have a bad habit of forgetting to use cooldowns at times. The biggest problems are two of the best cooldowns a discipline priest has: power infusion and pain suppression. Huge increase in healing throughput and huge damage reduction, and I forget to use them? I have to set up some power auras to help me remember, the same I did for my boomkin stuff.
My priest has yet to heal a heroic, but I think I'm ready for it. If not, that's why there's the option for a dual spec.
Outland and Northrend, redux
Here we are, 4 and 2.5 years after the content was released, and I'm doing a review of the Outland and Northrend areas of World of Warcraft. Timely reporting, right? In this case, it actually is – I just finished getting my former-lowbie priest up to level 80 and blazed a trail through the two former content areas. As I adventures through these places, I was reminded of things that I liked and things I certainly didn't like.
With heirlooms, I actually didn't go through all of the zones for each continent. (As an aside, I was using the heirloom shoulders, chest, cloak, weapon, and trinket.) Even without, I know that I could have skipped some areas. It is nice that the leveling process has been eased as time goes by through these old areas, as what was once the best part of the game is now some of the worst.
Outland and Northrend are now suffering the "middle child" disease, being forgotten and overlooked. Cataclysm brought us a completely redesigned Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms (less a few zones, coincidentally from Burning Crusade), and going from levels 1-60 in the "old" world is now very exciting and fun. Prior to Cataclysm, people would power their way through the Vanilla content so they could get to the better things in Outland and beyond.
Now the two continents are relics of an old design philosophy. Cataclysm has brought so many new quest mechanics and storylines that it's truly fun to play through the zones and see what all is going on. Outland and Northrend have many of the same thing over and over again with little deviation.
My progression through Outland started with Hellfire Peninsula, going through half of Zangarmarsh, and then finishing most of Nagrand before hitting level 68. With 25% experience bonus from heirlooms and an extra 10% from the guild perk, the levels flew by – so much that I was level 73 before hitting Zangarmarsh. I only did two instances, and that was my wife running me through Hellfire Ramparts and the Blood Furnace. This time I was going for efficiency in leveling, and wanting to get through as fast as I could.
One relic quest design that still exists in Outland is the amount of Elite/Group quests. Fortunately, as I was playing a Shadow Priest this time around it was actually fairly easy and I was able to solo a majority of them. There were the few that I needed help with, like Arazzius the Cruel and Durn the Hungerer, but more often than not I was fine.
Nagrand is my favourite zone from Burning Crusade. The looks of it were just amazing, along with very good questing design for the most part. However, this zone suffers from quest hub-itis. There are five places in the zone where you get quests (mostly), and three of them are in the same area – for the Horde side at least. This means that while you can grab about 7-12 quests at once, there's a lot of travel time involved from place to place. As much as down time is necessary to regroup and calm down, there's a lot of travel time involved in Nagrand.
All in all, Outland isn't a bad place – it's just boring to me. I've gone through Outland numerous times and it's still the exact same as it was when it first came out, with the exception of how long it takes to get through it. There are many great views, quests, NPCs, and other things to see along the way. I just ask that Blizzard update things to make them better. If someone has never gone through the continent before, I think they would enjoy it.
Going through Northrend was also a lot quicker than at first, mainly due to heirlooms and guild perk. I started in Howling Fjord, did all of Dragonblight and Zul'Drak, then about halfway through Storm Peaks is where I ended up hitting level 80. Through this I only did two instances, both through the LFD tool, coming up with Utgarde Keep and Halls of Stone (of course).
Normally in my quest to level alts, I end up getting stuck around the beginning of Northrend. I can usually make it through the first zone, usually Borean Tundra, but by the time I reach Dragonblight I get bored very quickly. In a WoW Insider Show, they had likened the province of Manitoba as being the Dragonblight of Canada, and I have to agree – Dragonblight is just boring.
As I said, I normally start from Borean Tundra so the first area I hit in Dragonblight is Agmar's Hammer. Since I started in Howling Fjord this time I did the Venomspite quests first, which is what I believe made the difference. It wasn't much of a change, but any change is welcome in boring content.
Similar to Outland, there were a number of Elite/Group quests that were out there. Also similarly, I was able to solo most of them and only needing help with the ones that had mechanics that were harmful to cloth-wearers. The travel time to get to different places still was a big factor, but not nearly as bad as Outland. By this time, Blizzard seems to have learned that people don't like having to fly somewhere for five minutes before getting to the quest objective.
During my initial time in Wrath, I didn't really have a favourite zone. This time, Zul'Drak really stood out to me – the story of an empire that wanted to fend off the Scourge so badly that they killed their own gods out of desperation. I would love to see the zone the way it was before, as the pinnacle of a troll empire.
Right now Northrend is still too fresh in my mind from Wrath. Cataclysm has only been out for five months, so it hasn't been long enough for me to get over it. The zone and quest design isn't bad, but I'm glad it's not the current one anymore.
Many times through my leveling experience, I was extremely thankful for the ability to have a flying mount. Originally, flying wasn't available in Outland until level 70 and in Northrend until level 77. Having to run through all the stuff before was painful enough, I am so very glad that I didn't have to do it again.
Last year I wrote up some retrospectives about Vanilla, Burning Crusade, and Wrath of the Lich King. Going through the two expansion contents, I'm reminded about many of my original observations and my overall conclusion from them: I'm glad that I was able to play through them when they were relevant, but I'm very glad that it's the past. What's done is done, and I'm glad the game is moving forward.
It shows how much Blizzard has done to improve the game over time. Anyone who says that the game was better during Vanilla, Burning Crusade, or Wrath is a liar. The game as it is today is far more superior to the previous content. Blizzard will always improve their work.
I'm very glad to be back in Cataclysm content. Hyjal, here I come!
Melting Faces and Taking Names
Once upon a time, it was said that Shadow Priests can melt faces. After testing out this theory for myself, it turns out that the information presented was indeed correct. For the first time in my World of Warcraft career, I'm playing a "squishy" class without actually being squishy.
When Cataclysm hit, I had my sights set on making a goblin priest. I'm not sure why exactly I wanted to do that specific race/class combination, but it seems to be working for me so far. The first bit I decided to try to level entirely by using the dungeon finder, and it worked – for a while.
Levels 15-35 were fairly uneventful, with decent groups being able to go through a dungeon in a good amount of time without much drama. After that, it seemed every second group would either be completely full of idiots, or people who don't know what they're doing. If I was really fortunate, it would be a nice mix of both. I was really hoping to continue leveling through the LFD tool to work on my healing, since I would likely be doing this once I hit max level. However, this didn't end up happening, and at level 42 I decided to start questing again.
Unfortunately, since this character had been parked in Orgrimmar from levels 15 to 42, I didn't have any flight paths other than Bilgewater Harbour and Razor Hill. Thankfully I had epic riding skill, so the drive down to Dustwallow Marsh to pick up the Thousand Needles breadcrumb wasn't too big of a problem. I changed over to my dual spec of Shadow, and promptly began to melt the faces of Grimtotems, pirates, and anything else that stood in my way.
Since then there has only been one circumstance when I switched back to my Discipline spec for use, which was to heal a tank so we could duo Durn the Hungerer in Nagrand. Apart from that, I've only switched over to spend the talent points that I had earned. Fortunately, there hasn't been any need to do so.
While I was leveling my enhancement shaman I found I was able to solo most things, including some group quests which I had never been able to do before. Out of curiosity, I decided to try this in Hellfire Peninsula on my priest. I had gotten the feel of the class by this point, and was comfortable in what to do for an elite mob. After some preparation and making sure I had the proper buffs, the giants for the Colossal Menace quest were destroyed efficiently.
I was honestly quite shocked – a clothie that can solo group quests this easily? It was different from what I had expected. (For the record, I have leveled a Warlock previously and they did well for group quests – but having a Voidwalker or Felguard will help quite a bit! Warlocks aren't that squishy, but I don't have any experience with one since originally leveling through Outland back in Burning Crusade.) Not having a pet or something to tank an elite mob, while I was able to still do very decent damage and have self-healing… it was a nice feeling.
Going through Outland, I was able to solo all group quests in Zangarmarsh and Nagrand (with the exception of Durn). In my brief time in Howling Fjord I've been able to solo the one group quest that has come up which has always presented me with problems on other characters, which is March of the Giants – elite giants who do heavy damage, along with a hard-hitting damage over time debuff placed on you. Fortunately a priest's arsenal includes Dispel Magic, which saved my hide a number of times through the course of that questline.
I was able to hit 70 before completing the quests in Vengeance Landing and Camp Winterhoof in Howling Fjord the other night. Originally, I was expecting to level by healing the dungeon finder groups I found with a Discipline spec. I'm extremely glad that I decided to make the switch.
It will be interesting to see how things go through Northrend and Cataclysm content. I'll be wanting to get more healing experience, but being able to melt faces is just so much fun. Rolling this priest as an alt seems to have been a very good idea.
To Alt, or Not To Alt
I've confessed a couple times before that I'm an altaholic. I go through various stages of it, and there have been times where I've gone weeks without working on my main for any significant amount of time. I enjoy the different scenery, mechanics, point of view, role… all of these. However, recently I seem to have been doing the exact opposite – rarely ever have I had so many alts with full rested experience waiting to be played.
The circumstances haven't changed much, apart from the fact that I haven't been raiding much in the past little while due to family stuff. Even before that, I've been working on things to improve my main more and more. First it was getting the Therazane reputation complete, since that would give access to good shoulder enchants. Then it was the Tol Barad dailies, and wanting to get the dragon (because it's a dragon!). These could be classified as working towards improving my character, as there are benefits that are associated with those repuatations.
Unfortunately the same can't be said of the reputations that came next. I managed to hit exalted with Lower City by doing my daily runs for Anzu, and started up my Ogri'la dailies again after not touching them for a long time. After getting exalted with Ogri'la on two characters, I really hope I never put myself through that again. Currently, I'm trying to finish up the Sha'tari Skyguard and Netherwing reputations so I can get some Nether Rays and Nether Dragons to fly – which are both really good looking mounts.
These things I'm working on have absolutely no benefit to me in a raiding or progression standpoint. They are things to occupy my time and give me something to do while I watch the rest of my guild do other things that I wish I could be doing. I only do the daily heroic because I need the valour points, and many times I don't do it because I want a guild group, or I'm listening to see if my son is actually asleep.
There are a few alts in particular that I want to level: my shaman, priest, and warrior. The guild has a lack of those three classes and I want to help out if needed, but even though the majority of the leveling is going through new content that I haven't seen yet, it's still getting a bit boring. I'm actually enjoying working on my main, and working towards accomplishments that I've been wanting for a long time.
As with everything, I go through phases. It seems that I've run out of stuff to do for new Cataclysm things right now, so I'm working on older stuff. Once I have my new dragons and nether rays, I'm sure I'll be moving back to the alts again.
Altaholic-ness, Redux
A while back, I mentioned how much I enjoy leveling alts. To this day the trend continues, and unfortunately Cataclysm has made it even easier to enjoy this hobby. The addition of new races, new race/class combinations, and the complete redesign of the level 1-60 leveling process was just a bit of encouragement. Then I go and splurge on all three heirloom cloaks from guild rep, making it that much easier.
My habit has continued, and it has flourished.
One big thing that I'm a bit surprised about is that two classes that I enjoyed quite a bit before have not interested me as much now. The Warlock, my very first class that I got to the level cap with on the Horde side in Vanilla, has no presence on my character list at all. I tried rolling one a few times, but it's just not doing it for me right now. Perhaps later. The Death Knight, a class that I thoroughly enjoyed back in WotLK, is now my bank alt. I have one that I'm trying to level through Outland right now, but I think it might be more of that continent's fault than the DK class itself.
My Shaman just recently hit 65 after simmering on the backburner for a while. I wanted to get geared up and ready for heroics and raids before I focused too much on any alt for a little bit. Now that I'm raiding again (woot!), I've been slowly working him through Outland. As I mentioned before, it really is a chore to get through the BC content. I remember trying to rush as fast as possible to 58 so we could get away from the junk of Vanilla content – oh, how times have changed.
There's the hunter who's in the late thirties. I was going pretty steady with it for a while, but I've lost interest in it for the moment. These phases come and go quite quickly with various classes and how I feel with it. On our old server, I was leveling a rogue with my wife and was having a blast. I tried rolling a rogue a few times already, and it's just not doing anything for me right now. More than likely, it's too close to the cat druid that I work on mostly right now.
One character that I was looking forward to rolling at Cataclysm was my goblin priest, and she's been quite a bit of fun. Checking out the talent trees previously, Discipline looked like a great spec to try out for leveling as it had a good mixture of damage and healing abilities. So far I've leveled exclusively through the dungeon finder from level 15 on, just to work on my skills so when I hit a higher level I'm not completely out of it. I'm only level 29, so it's not really too big of a challenge, but it's been a good experience so far.
Lastly, I have lowbies of the rest of them: paladin, mage, and warrior. I've played a paladin and mage to level cap previously and enjoyed it, and the highest I've ever gotten a warrior was to the mid twenties. Some of the higher levels that I have right now are going to be DPS and healing, so I'm thinking a tanking warrior would be fun. Heirloom shield please?
I enjoy the different experiences that I have on each character when I play them. Each has their own different feel, their own nuances that I have to figure out – it's nice to have such flexibility within the game. Plus, this is all on the Horde side. If I wanted something completely new, I'd work on my Alliance characters… maybe.
Dungeon Finder and YOU!
There are numerous stories that could be told about the Random Dungeon Finder. The good ol' LFD/LFG/looking for PAIN tool is a wonderful and horrible invention that can be used for good or for evil. Unfortunately, there are many people who seem happier to use it for the latter.
I have a lowbie Priest who is currently level 23, and has leveled purely through the dungeon finder so far. Through that I have come across many great players who have been willing to help out others who aren't as good, as well as many players who have no clue what they are doing and don't want to accept any suggestions at all. Of course, this doesn't go just for the lowbie instances – my Druid main has come across many different types of people through the dungeon finder for regular and heroic dungeons at level 85 as well.
After all my experiences, I think that the most important thing to remember when with any group (LFD or not) is to have good communication. It doesn't matter if it's all guild members, one pug, or if it's all completely random – if there's a communication breakdown, failure is sure to come knocking at your door quite soon.
A good example would be a Wailing Caverns run that I did the other day on my priest. I don't remember the exact makeup, but the tank was a paladin who didn't like to listen and who liked to do his own thing. After killing the first boss, Lady Anacondra, 4 of the 5 of us drop down and proceed to the west side to start the trek to the second boss, Lord Cobrahn. The tank proceeds to continue around the top side towards where the Naralex event eventually happens at the end. In chat, we asked multiple times what he was doing and if he was going to come back to where the group was, and he never said anything. In hindsight, this would have been a good time to initiate a vote-kick.
The group was fine, since we had a hunter with us and the pet tanked just as good as the paladin was, and fortunately I was able to keep everyone alive. We put up with the tank's eccentricities like randomly running ahead and getting new packs of mobs before we were done the previous ones, or randomly going afk for 5 minutes without saying anything. Once again, I'm thankful that we had the hunter's pet to be a better tank than the one who was in the group.
Don't be "that guy". Don't be the one that people write blog posts about, or laugh about with their guilds, or complain about to their wives. As a sidenote, I'm glad that my wife enjoys listening to my dungeon finder stories. It makes those brutal groups much easier to bear.
Try to help others who are having difficulties. Don't post damage meters, because nobody cares (on that note, if you're trying to see how you're doing compared to others, you don't need to announce it to the rest of the party). If you don't know your way around, ask. If someone doesn't know the way, help point them in the right direction.
It's really not that difficult. If everyone puts in a little bit of kindness, it'll go a long way. Maybe the idiot from the last group will pick something up from you, and next run will be a little bit less of an idiot. If during that run, someone gives him a few more pointers, he'll be even less of an idiot. Hopefully the idiocy will flush itself out, but that's just me being hopeful.
Remember Wheaton's law: "Don't be a dick."
So close you can taste it
Five more sleeps until Cataclysm. Only a few more days until on December 7th, a box will arrive at our door that contains two smaller boxes inside. Unfortunately they'll likely arrive while I'm at work, but I'm thinking that there will be lights, fireworks, and other spectacular things when the boxes are opened.
Either that, or I'll be able to make my goblin(s) at last.
4.0.3a has given us a great deal of what was promised in Cataclysm, but the more that I read about them and through the previes that I've seen, I really can't wait to make my goblins. The plan that I've had all along was to make a priest, and have it be my main alt for a while. I made a night elf priest a while back and enjoyed leveling it as discipline through the dungeon finder. For once, I don't want to use the LFD tool for the fact that I want to experience as much as possible.
My Forsaken hunter just finished up Silverpine Forest, and I am absolutely amazed with how well it turned out. My last post had the first impressions up to the beginning parts of the zone and even then it was great. It just gets better and better the further you go.
Since that was a changed zone, I can't imagine how awesome the goblin areas are going to be. I remember hearing about a questline that has some sort of a "Grand Theft Auto" part to it, which I'm quite looking forward to. For whatever reason, having a short character appeals to me as well. I've tried many times to make a gnome, but I just couldn't do it. Now that the Horde has a "short" race, I think it'll be fun.
The only problem with Cataclysm being so close is that time seems to slow the closer that you get to it. On top of that, I start a new position at work the day before the game comes out, and I have plans on the evening of the 7th. I do still have some sick days left…

Sonic Syndicate Biography
Sonic Syndicate is a six-piece melodic death metal/metalcore band from Falkenberg, Sweden who have strong influences from Swedish bands such as In Flames and Soilwork. Originally formed in 2002 under the name Fallen Angels, by Richard, Roger and Robin Sjunnesson they recorded three demos, Fall from Heaven, Black Lotus and Extinction. In 2005 they changed their name to Sonic Syndicate, signed with Pivotal Rockordings, and recorded their debut studio album, Eden Fire. Following tours with Avatar, Himsa, and Amon Amarth, the band entered a contest held by Nuclear Blast Records along with nearly 1500 other entrants. Sonic Syndicate was one of the three winners and was offered a recording contract with Nuclear Blast. After working at Black Lounge Studios with producer Jonas Kjellgren (also guitarist for Scar Symmetry), Sonic Syndicate released Only Inhuman on May 18, 2007. A video for the single "Denied" soon followed, directed by Patric Ullaeus. Due to their success under Nuclear Blast, vocalists Richard and Roland also managed to earn a song on the Nuclear Blast Allstar album titled Out of the Dark, accompanied by vocalists such as Anders Friden of In Flames, Bjorn Strid of Soilwork, and many others. Sonic Syndicate played at the Wacken Open Air Festival 2007 and several other European festivals. In the winter of 2007, accompanied Amon Amarth as they toured th US. The band participated in the "Darkness over X-Mas Tour" with Caliban and Heaven Shall Burn, and toured extensively across Europe with Dark Tranquillity and Soilwork. In May 2008 they returned to America supporting Nightwish. The band started the recording process of their third studio album Love and Other Disasters on March 16, 2008, which was released on Nuclear Blast on September 19, 2008. The first single, "Jack of Diamonds," is accompanied by a video again from Patric Ullaeus who later directed "My Escape" the second single from Love and Other Disasters. At the end of the year, the band toured Germany and Scandinavia and began work on videos for "Power Shift" and "Contradiction". The video for "Power Shift" was released on February 18 2008 on the band's MySpace and Official website. March 30th 2009 Sonic Syndicate regrets to announce, that Roland has decided to leave Sonic Syndicate due to personal reasons. He continues to sing along with the band in all confirmed shows, so there'd be time to find a good replacement. More info at www.sonicsyndicate.com August 24th 2009, the band announces in it's MySpace blog that "The Rebellion has begun" and the new clean-vocalist is a fact. Coming from Great Britain and an ex-vocalist of the band "The Hollow Earth Theory", Nathan James Biggs is welcomed into the Sonic family. Currently Sonic Syndicate are touring in Europe. Line-up: Richard Sjunnesson - Vocals Nathan J. Biggs - Vocals Roger Sjunnesson - Guitars Robin Sjunnesson - Guitars Karin Axelsson - Bass John Bengtsson - Drums Demos: (All demos were released under the band's previous name Fallen Angles) 2003 - Fall From Heaven 2003 - Black Lotus 2004 - Extinction Albums: 2005 - Eden Fire 2007 - Only Inhuman 2008 - Love And Other Disasters Singles: 2005 - Soulstone Splinter 2007 - Denied 2007 - Enclave 2008 - Jack of Diamonds 2008 - My Escape 2009 - Power Shift 2009 - Contradiction 2009 - Burn This City

ALLEN, TX. -- Allen, Texas has a population of 84,000.
The city's high school football team --the Allen Eagles --plays it's first game next Friday night in the new high school stadium.
The stadium - which boasts a video scoreboard, artificial turf, a multi-level press box, a weight room, a wrestling room and seats for 18-thousand fans - opened yesterday with a pep rally and introduction of the 2012 team.
Admittedly, Allen Texas is a wealthy suburb of Dallas where household income in twice the national average...but the 60-million dollar cost of the stadium has raised some eyebrows...mostly from non-residents.
The football coach says he figures they'll fill the stadium for most games.

Back in September, court documents show Rachel Thompson and a man were pulled over by sheriff's deputies for driving erratically while physically abusing each other. Document show authorities suspected Thompson was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and she was taken to the hospital to have her injuries evaluated.While at the hospital, Thompson lit cardboard boxes on fire with a lighter, and told authorities she was trying to kill herself with smoke inhalation. Thompson's next court appearance is set for December 11.

For almost two months Pat Tuskey says he's been overwhelmed by what's now a $6,290 Earthlink bill.
A much greater expense than what he thought he was signing up for in March.
"It was supposed to be like $9.95 a month for the first six months and whatever it was going to cost after that. And we wanted it because it was one of the cheaper ones out there," says Pat.
Dial-up service offers local phone numbers to connect to the internet. But Pat's land-line service wouldn't let him dial 1, then the number, because he didn't have long distance.
He says he called customer service who offered him an 800 number to use instead.
"I said this is great it works," says Pat after being set up over the phone with a technician. "I said is there a fee involved [using the 800 number] and he said there is no cost to you."
But according to the service agreement, which Pat is subject to, logging in with toll-free numbers 800, 888, and 877 cost extra. How much extra? $0.10 cents per minute which adds up to $6.00 per hour.
"It's an 800 number. I'm under the impression that 800 numbers are supposed to be toll-free phone number," says Pat.
And because he didn't realize he was being charged by the hour, Pat says he didn't always log off of the internet--racking up hundreds of hours of use at the $6.00 per hour rate.
We contacted Earthlink's corporate office in Atlanta, Georgia and learned of another detail. Customers are sent a CD to activate their Earthlink account. On it, they say, the customer is prompted to accept any extra charges for using an 800 number.
But Pat's installation process happened over the phone, when he first called Earthlink letting them know his local access numbers weren't working.
Pat says he never used the CD and now he's paying the price.
"My wife is not in good health and there are other things that are going on that we're having to deal with. With something like this you're trying to talk with the people you're supposed to talk to. What do you do? You feel helpless!," says Pat.
Pat's lesson has been learned. He says he will pay much closer attention to the service terms in the future.
After we contacted the company, Earthlink agreed to put Pat in contact with the proper department to see what can be worked out.
Earlier this evening we learned the company cleared the charges. Pat will only be responsible to pay the $9.95 fee for two months.

|Supervisors eye public works panel in Vilas County
By Ken Anderson
News Correspondent
A proposal for a public works committee that would combine highway and public property management responsibilities was discussed by the Vilas County Legislative and Judicial Committee last week, after the first draft that grouped up to six county functions was rejected April 30.
Supervisor Jim Behling, who put forth the April grouping of public works committee functions, expressed disappointment in what happened after that meeting adjourned.
"We spent a lot of time April 30 and since that time some committee chairmen have been going around saying it won't work," Behling charged. "We need to get a stronger commitment from chairs and vice chairs."County Clerk Dave Alleman, spokesman for the courthouse administrative team,

CHANDLER, Ariz. (AP) - Federal authorities say a 60-year-old man and his two sons have been indicted on charges that they ran an elaborate money order scheme from a Chandler grocery store.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said Friday that Gilbert resident Gjergj "George" Kol Mihilli and his sons ran the scheme from the Mama Mia Panaderia & Market and issued more than 10,000 fake money orders.
Mihilli and 35-year-old Nikolas George Mihilli and 31-year-old Nino Joseph Mihilli were arrested Wednesday on a 46-count indictment charging them with conspiracy, bank fraud, money laundering and aggravated identity theft charges.
The trio allegedly would issue money orders to non-existent customers, deposit them in business accounts and then use the money to pay for the money orders while skimming cash off the top.

The recent spree of lottery jackpots around the world got us thinking: if you were to win the US Powerball jackpot and be able to afford pretty much any imaginable trip, which would be the luxurious world cruise befitting a man of your stature?
Here are the top rated cruise lines, each with their own twist on what luxury cruising is all about:
Crystal Cruises – Around the World in 89 Days – $197,810
Cited as the best large-ship luxury cruise line of 2013, Crystal Cruises will supply you with a 1345 square feet suite. The balcony may be a bit small, but everything about the suite is first class. The suite contains a dining area seating 6 people, complete with a separate entrance for the butler. A living room, a master bedroom and bath (the shower has a heated floor and a heated marble bench for you to rest on), a media room with a Bose surround sound system, flat screen TV and an iPod docking station; an exercise room and a guest bathroom with shower. All these accompany the aforementioned balcony, for those times you wish to lay in the sun and enjoy some of the ocean's breeze. The décor is lavish with handmade Italian marble tiles, Swarovski crystals and unique art designed to give every suite a unique look and feel. All this and more is readily available for what amounts to $2,222 a day.
Oceania Cruises – Around the World in 180 Days -$312,000
In order to enjoy 180 days at sea, you must have the proper accommodations. Winner of the Cruise Critic Editors' Pick Award for best suites, Oceania's owners' suite will not disappoint. The 1000 square feet space is divided beautifully to give a spacious feel while providing guests with Cashmere blankets and wallpaper, a private whirlpool hot-tub, living room, dining area, a huge teak balcony and 2 bathrooms. Oceania also provides you with around the clock butler service, bringing you your choice of newspaper printed daily, shining your shoes and delivering food from your restaurant of choice if you are not inclined to dine out. The in-suite bar will be stocked with 6 full-sized bottles of your favorite premium spirits, to go along with the complimentary bottle of champagne.
The lavish suite tops off with a high tech Bose surround sound system, 2 flat screen TVs, complimentary laptop and iPad, and internet access.
All this and more is available to you for $1,733 a day. All you have to do is show up, and enjoy.
Regent Seven Seas Cruises – Sydney to London in 121 Days – $205,249
The 2002 square feet master suite is nothing short of spectacular, for those who are looking for a spacious living area. The suite comes with 2 balconies, a large one to serve the living area (guests and children) and a smaller private balcony accessible from the master bedroom. The living area and dining area are undivided, adding to the immense feel of the space. Marble bathrooms, 2 king size beds, a butler, iPad, iPod docking, and a satellite phone all round up the package we have to expect from a luxury cruise liner, and for $1,696 a day, it is on par with the other offerings.
SilverSea Luxury Cruises – Around the World in 115 Days – $171,250
The SilverSea offering is unique in the atmosphere is provides. There are far fewer passengers than in the previously mentioned cruises, and the ship is entirely populated with suites; Making this cruise a more intimate way of touring the world. The owner's suite spans 1264 square feet, with a teak balcony, a dining area and a bar with a selection of your favorite liquors. 2 queen size beds with Egyptian cotton linens and your choice of pillows, a living room, marbled bathrooms with a full-sized whirlpool hot-tub, flat screen TVs and telephones with satellite reception, built-in Bang & Olufsen audio system, and of course the service of an attentive butler. At $1489 a day, this is by far the cheapest of the master suites, but every last bit as indulging as the others.
It would seem that with most luxury suite offerings being fairly similar in nature, the difference makers when choosing your luxury cruise should be the course the ship is planned to take, and the on-board entertainment and facilities. These range from casinos and cigar rooms to fitness centers, pools and spas. Some even go as far as to hold lavish productions of plays and classical recitals. Pick the offering that best suits your heart's wishes, to ensure you enjoy your luxurious months at sea.

"JPD investigators are continuing to follow a series of what we consider strong leads in regard to the bomb threats called in to 911 Friday morning," Jasper Police Chief Connie Cooner Rowe said Saturday afternoon. "As a result, we have developed persons of interest and the investigation continues to to be very fluid."
An anonymous call placed to Walker County E-911 just after 8:30 a.m. Friday indicated a bomb had been placed inside the Jasper hospital. A separate threat was made against an unknown overpass or bridge along Ala. Highway 69.
The threat forced WBMC officials to make the decision to evacuate all patients, including those in critical care units and the emergency room.
After an extensive search of the facility by police and bomb-sniffing dogs found nothing, patients were returned to their rooms just before noon.
Rowe said a coordinated effort between the JPD, the Walker County Sheriff's Office and other agencies is underway in order to catch the person responsible.
"Our agency is being assisted by several law enforcement agencies, including the Walker County Sheriff's Office," Rowe said. "As you can imagine, an investigation of this nature requires many resources and countless man-hours."
Anyone with information about who may be responsible for the bomb threat is urged to call Jasper police at (205) 221-6790 or (205) 221-2121.
