Nothing! Just the bed! I guess
Thier rooms are still dirty even after cleaning esp the carpet they should consider renovation! N also they dont attend to your needs prompt
location is good
the staff is very slow and non friendly the check in and checkout are very slow breakfast is very poor
the hotel is nice and clean in good price.
The gym was closed and there was sweating smell in the cushions!
Nothing !
I don't from where I should start. I will try to write in brief. 1- I came with my girlfriend and they asked for her ID, it was fine as it's Dubai rules. When we went out and came back late the housekeeper was following us from the parking through the left till my floor i ignore him , 5 minutes later he came with 2 security guys to tell me that it's not allowed to bring any lady to the room as per management policy I tried to explain to them that the staff took her ID at check in and everything was fine he just ignore me and threten to call police or I have to kick my girlfriend out immidiately. 2- The gave us room in yhe back of building and there was construction going on we couldn't sleep whole night. I spoke to the receptionest but told me hotel was fully booked. The hotel under new management and used to be called Suha City but changed now. I stayed one night and checked out in the morning. Worst hotel ever !
bathroom lighting not very good. many lights were damaged carpet and decorative pillows had some stains
seemed very unorganized like all new employees and none of the cab drivers could find the place (not really their fault) They also accused me of taking something from their refrig. we were not even in the room 12 hours and had our own stuff and ate out.
Location across road from Deira City Centre is convenient for Airport Reasonable rates if booked through Booking.com Decent breakfast if a little pricey
Loud construction noise from 6:30am every day except Friday. Should improve once next door building is finished. Hard to sleep even with earplugs. Housekeeping was mixed. Different things missing each day e.g. towels, tissues, toilet roll, laundry bag/forms. Impossible to fix as most staff don't speak English well. Bathroom lighting very poor - dim and one's face always in shadow - hard to shave. A triumph of "cheap chic" over usability... :( Seems chaotic with no communication between departments/shift changes.
location good wifi room size bathroom is large basment parking
difficult access from the main road check-in and out took long time few staff.
the front office staff did get any training how to handle the guest.... the check in was disaster ,, and it took more than 30 minutes, * the front desk agent said the he is new staff in the hotel, that is why he doesn't know how to assign the room and to charge the guest credit card. * the staff doesn't know how to welcome the guest, even don't have doorman, and there is no welcome drink provided upon arrival. * the hotel staff didn't recognize the guest, and didnt consider the guest preference which already mentioned clearly in the booking on booking.com * the front office manager was avoiding to speak to the guest and handle the complaints, we tried to reach him many times by connecting the call to his office, but he was always not ready to answer or pick up the phone. * no one escort us to the room, or at least show us the elevator direction, also no one explained the hotel facilities or talk about the room amenities....... POOR HOSPITALITY
Great hotel nicely managed superb suite deluxe rooms
Everything was good but the staff was pathetic especially froby desk lyn
Bed was ok Bathroom was nice
The air conditioning didn't work!!!!!! We told the management and they said someone would be up to fix it. No one turned up. We didn't sleep all night and when I spoke to the manager he was rude and implied that it was MY fault that I didn't pester 3 or 4 times! All he offered was "an upgrade next time". Not a chance. Better customer service and rooms elsewhere in the area
hotel was ok, except for the situation with a 'taxi'
When you order a taxi from a hotel to the airport, please make sure it is a metred taxi. Hotel ordered a 'taxi' without a meter for us, and in my opinion we paid far too much (35 AED).
Check in & check out process takes atleast 25 minutes, untrained stuff, the hotel needs trained stuff and it will be great.
the location and the pool...
*The room 512 and 511 or anything in between the corner is a little bit suffocating, you feel claustrophobic.(the beds are too big) *The entrance looks too busy and with the grand staircase it looses the beauty of the hotel lobby....its too massive for the area...
Room size, beds, bathroom size and arrangement and location
The security staff were asking me on daily basis in the access controlled parking which room am staying.
We were upgraded to a suite, which was a very nice gesture of the staff.
Near to the shopping mall, easy access to the metro station. Very helpful staffs.
The wadrobe in the room little bit dusty.
Good Hotel
Location, cleanliness, staff, room size, wifi speed
Help from the staff was great when addressing problems with my stay, they moved me to a different room, fixed the TV problem, etc. with no fuss or argument. The second room was clean and no infestation. The staff was helpful and fixed most of my issues immediately.
1st room they put me in was infested with tiny ants everywhere, and smelled unhealthy. Second room's TV didn't work, plus neither room had a coffee maker as advertised. The mini-bar was not present, and the airport transportation service advertised turned out to be the baggage porter calling me a cab. I gave up on complaining as I was exhausted after a 15 hour flight and dealt with my more minor issues.
Reception staff gave me double bed on arrival. When i had booked twin beds. I found out when reched the room. On asking for the reason. She asked that we confirmed with u at tge reception. They made me liar. Very good. Customer is always lair.
This is a handy place to stay if you want to be near the airport. It's a little hard to find, though, because the sign doesn't show up all that well. Spacious rooms show wear, but are nice if you need a crib.
Cramped parking garage. Visibly worn tables and such.

BALTIMORE – With Jon Jones having defended his light heavyweight belt for the seventh time on Saturday night against Glover Teixeira, there was a feeling that he'd broken with the sublime and was now catering more towards the historic.
Heading into UFC 172 Jones had already beaten what Dana White refers to as the "murderers row" of the best 205-pounders, a record run that has established him as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the game. So in the chain of glorious outings, and with his "prime" still in front of him, where did White see his performance against Teixeira, whom Jones dominated for five rounds on Saturday night en-route to a unanimous decision?
"I think it was the best performance of his career," White said in the post-fight press conference about the 26-year old Jones. "Obviously Las Vegas didn't give Glover Teixeira the respect that he deserved as a 6-to-1 dog. Jones, I think that if he didn't prove it in the [Alexander] Gustafsson fight, he definitely proved it in this fight -- Jones has a chin. He evolves every time he fights, he comes out and puts on a clinic and does new things.
"But I also thought leading up to this fight, Jones was different also. He just seems to be…he was the youngest light heavyweight champion ever, but he's becoming a man right in front of everybody. He's growing up in and outside of the Octagon, and I thought he's never looked better than he did tonight."
The glowing review was being echoed in the media, as well. Maybe not solely based on the 25 minutes he clocked against Teixeira -- who had won 20 straight fights going back nine years -- but for the creative, perhaps even surprising manner in which he did it.
Heading into the fight, many thought that Jones would wrestle Teixeira, to try and take him down and keep him there. Instead, just like when he out-wrestled the wrestler Chael Sonnen, he opted to take Teixeira out by playing his strong suit -- inside fighting. Most of UFC 172's main event was spent in close quarters, with Teixeira winging uppercuts and Jones dropping short, sharp elbows in the phone booth.
Though he took his share of punishment in those close quarters, at no point did it look like Jones was hurt or in trouble. The idea that he was able to play such a hazardous game and still dominate the fight struck a chord with White, who reminded everyone of the power that the Brazilian possesses
"Glover Teixeira hits hard, he hits really hard, and Jon took his shots tonight," White said. "Jon fought a fight that I didn't think he'd fight. I honestly thought that Glover Teixeira's game plan would have been to close the distance, get inside, bang him to the body, rough him up, hit him with big punches whenever he could and Jones would try to take him down, get that top position and drop those elbows.
"Not only did he not do that, he stood in the pocket and traded with him, he dropped big elbows on him, and he put on an unbelievable performance tonight."
As for where Jones himself ranked his performance against Teixeira, whom he beat 50-45 on all three scorecards, there was an air of modesty as he reflected on his 15-fight UFC career.
"I felt I got sloppy towards the end," Jones said. "I started getting booed for running and things like that. Guys like Vladimir Matyushenko, that was a fast fight. The Chael Sonnen fight, that was a really fast fight. I thought those were my best performances as far as being a clean performance, but to beat a guy who hasn't lost in 20 fights, I can't complain about that performance."

What's impressive about Thomas Piketty is his analysis not his politics
His book has become an unlikely bestseller, but his study of financial inequality is more than certain
An unlikely entry has appeared recently at the top of the best-seller lists of books in the US. It is a work of economic history and theory written by a Frenchman, Thomas Piketty. Its title is Capital in the Twenty-First Century. It has been compared to such seminal works as The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith, Das Kapital by Karl Marx and The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money by John Maynard Keynes.
It is a strangely gripping book, partly because it highlights stretches of economic history that have relevance now. Piketty reminds us, for instance, that when Marx published the first volume of Das Kapital in 1867, the most striking fact of the day was the misery of the industrial proletariat. It was not until the second half – or even the final third – of the 19th century that a significant rise in the purchasing power of wages occurred. Looking back, that appears counter-intuitive. For the first half of the 19th century was precisely the period when Britain's industrial revolution took off. A failure to share wealth at such a propitious time puts into context the stagnation of purchasing power that most people experience today.
Above all, it is the unchanging features of capitalism that Piketty is concerned to illustrate. In particular he sets out to answer the question of whether the dynamics of private capital accumulation inevitably lead to the concentration of wealth in ever fewer hands. In other words, is there some inbuilt, irreversible momentum in the system, as Marx believed, that means that we can never escape from large inequalities in wealth?
Yes, is the author's answer, and he expressed it as a law rather like one of Newton's laws of motion. Thus, Piketty states – and this is the most important sentence in the book – "When the rate of return on capital exceeds the rate of growth of output and income, as it did in the 19th century and seems quite likely to do again in the 21st century, capitalism automatically generates arbitrary and unsustainable inequalities."
So what is the return on capital? It is the return you get from, say, a deposit with a building society, or from unit trusts, or from owning a flat that you rent out, or from a business you have established once you have paid yourself an appropriate salary. Over very long periods of time this has averaged 5 per cent per annum but I prefer to think in terms of a range of 3 per cent to 7 per cent. And the rate of growth of output and income? In the UK it is currently running at 2 per cent to 3 per cent per annum and is a bit above trend. Between 1990 and 2012, per capita output – and with it income – grew at an annual rate of 1.6 per cent in Western Europe, 1.4 per cent in North America and 0.7 per cent in Japan.
Here then is what the law really means in today's terms. My salary is likely to rise at around 2 per cent per annum unless I change my job or I am promoted. But the value of a portfolio of shares, were I fortunate to own one, would be likely to rise by about 7 per cent per annum over time, comprising roughly 3 per cent of dividends and 4 per cent of profits that companies retain to fuel future expansion. Owning capital thus comfortably beats working, and almost always has done.
Note that when the author referred to the return on capital exceeding the growth of output and income, he adds the phrase, "as it did in the 19th century and seems quite likely to do again in the 21st century". So what happened in the 20th century? Quite simply the following: the First World War, the Russian Revolution, the Great Depression, the Second World and, immediately afterwards, a forced redistribution of wealth in a number of European countries. At the same time capital and its income began to be taxed at significant rates. All these factors pushed the return on capital well below the growth of incomes so that disparities in wealth suddenly became much less severe.
The form of capitalism that emerged from the war years had also changed in two important respects. While the top 10 per cent of the population once owned 90 per cent of the wealth, now they found themselves sharing some of it with a new middle class, which in 2010 owned roughly 35 per cent of all capital. This is welcome. But much less acceptable has been an explosion of very high salaries in recent years. Once there were excessive concentrations of capital; now there are also excessive concentrations of income.
In fact the main countervailing forces for the reduction and compression of inequalities are the diffusion of knowledge and investment in training and skills. For these are the ways to increase the productivity of labour and thus its economic value. This is not, however, a market mechanism. It depends in large part on the educational and training policies of the government of the day. Piketty does not believe that this will be sufficient. So he recommends a global wealth tax. In practice, the chances of such a measure coming into force are close to zero. This utopian idea is the only disappointing aspect of a book that has been more thought-provoking than anything I have read for a long time.
Sir Alan Moses should remember what Fourth Estate means
It was almost inevitable that a senior member of the judiciary should be appointed as the first head of the new Independent Press Standards Organisation. The task has fallen to Sir Alan Moses, a member of the Court of Appeal. Appointing a judge is the ultimately safe choice. So rare are lapses in judicial behaviour that nobody would think of even looking for some shortcoming or other.
Moreover, the work of barristers and journalists shares some similarities, though no doubt the former would claim to work to higher standards of accuracy. But both have to "mug up" new subjects and situations from a standing start. Both must master the art of asking questions and assessing the answers. Both must know how create a compelling narrative or argument. The main difference is that the law is a profession whereas journalism is undoubtedly a trade.
It should work. Journalists have a natural respect for judges, either because their newspapers often appear in court as plaintiffs or defendants, or because they are regularly reporting court proceedings.
And for his part, Sir Alan should remember that we are the Fourth Estate in the sense first used by Edmund Burke, who said "there were Three Estates in Parliament (The Lords Spiritual, the Lords Temporal and the Commons); but, in the Reporters' Gallery yonder, there sat a Fourth Estate more important far than they all."

For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Our new windows are absolutely wonderful! The installation team was here at the time scheduled and worked very efficiently. They cleaned up their work areas extremely well and conducted themselves in a professional manner. We were please with the entire process and the product and would recommend Renewal by Andersen to anyone.
I had three windows replaced in early summer 2014. The installation procedure was extremely satisfactory and very professional. Immediately, I noticed a decrease in the street noise. This fall, I find myself opening the three windows (two in bathrooms and one in the home office) all the time, partially because they are so easy and smooth to open. I am contemplating replacing more windows next spring, depending on how these perform over the winter.
I am very satisfied in all respects. The price is somewhat alarming- we did compromising and barter some Thank you so much
Office staff had some communication problems- wanted to move up installation date- when product not even received- when caught asked for phone call to verify- not done. however received product and installed- very happy with window! Need work on website for survey- attempted 10 minutes unable to fall up- fasted to do old fashion with pen+ paper
The sales rep was knowledgeable and we were able to work out a price suitable to your company and me. Your workers were efficient and very professional. Because I had patio door installed where a window had been the workers included electricians and brick layers as well as window installers- which one of the old windows was difficult to remove and the glass broke your foreman was quick to carefully clean up every bit of broken glass. The work was well done, the language and I'm happy
David Sutton installed our windows and was very pleasant person to talk to. He was very knowledgeable, very particular about his installation

ANYWAY: Does anyone else use Lightheaded? I've got the latest and greatest loaded, but something in WoW is keeping it from kicking in. Even QuesthelperLite only works once in a while. I'd swear Blizz is doing something to prevent some add-ons from kicking in. They want you to use their map and their directions and they sucketh to the largeth degreeths.

More help?

It's been quite a while! I'm glad to see this community is still around. I've moved most of my LJ business over to tumblr, feel free to follow if you don't mind WoW shenanigans, random babblings, and some art every once in a while :)

I need to take some commissions to keep a roof over my head and to help make up for the holiday slump coming up, so let's jump right into it :) Lots of new art in here since last time, so even if you're not interested in a commission, feel free to come in for a looksee :)

If my formatting is crummy and terrible (HEY it's been a while...) you can check out my commission page here, although it has some older examples, and I think I've improved a bit since some of them were added.

1. Sketch busts are just $5! Examples:

These are personal pieces, your sketch piece is likely to be much neater and nicer looking!

Full-body sketches are $10, pets, additional characters, detailed armor, etc. may cost a bit extra.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Cel-shaded busts are $25! Examples:

Full-body cel-shaded pieces are $40, mounts, pets, additional characters, super complex armor may cost a bit extra :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Sketch "Paintings" are $35 for busts! Examples:

Full-body pieces in this style are $45, and I'm also offering an "EPIC" version of these for $55, which includes a mount and a background (edited screenshot of your favorite area in the game!)

"EPIC" Example:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Full digitally painted busts are $50, and fully rendered digital paintings start at $75 (apologies, no examples of busts in this style, but below are examples of my painting style):

OKAY THAT'S ALL THE IMAGES, I SWEAR. If you want to see more examples, please check out either my deviantART gallery, or my art tag on tumblr (which also has some silly WoW-themed stuff I've done for fun)!

You do not HAVE to commission me for WoW-related stuff, I'm happy to take on just about anything you throw at me. I'm currently not super comfortable with NSFW/smut, but if it's not too raunchy, I'll give it a try - just ask!

CONTACT INFO: xcourtkneex[at]gmail[dot]com is the easiest and most reliable way to contact me concerning commissions. You're welcome to comment here, send a PM, or ask or fanmail on tumblr if you like!

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, if you'd like a personalized quote, or anything, really! I'm very nice and will be happy to talk it out with you :)

Thanks so much! <3 urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:wow_ladies:16690718 firstname.lastname@example.com Non-Recovering WoW Addict The Wednesday Safari 2014-11-20T01:06:25Z 2014-11-20T01:06:25Z Oops, belated edition. Totally meant to post this morning!

WoD is out! How are you all finding the new tamers? Getting all the pets? Getting ready for the MOLTEN CORGI that is coming on Friday? Plus the new Molten Core LFR! I sadly don't have anyone at 100 yet (working my way slowly though everything), so I won't be able to join in the LFR for a bit yet, but we have time...it's not going away until January.

Any strategies you care to share for the new Draenor tamers? Working on any 2-pet strats for An Awfully Big Adventure? From what I heard, some of the Celestial tamers (not the Celestials themselves) were nerfed to allow for an easier 2-pet strategy for that achieve (Taran Zhu is one, and that makes sense, as the strat I have got funky when trying to beat him this past week, as it didn't follow the same pattern).

I should be able to get the Elekk Plushie pattern today on my priest, and then it's just a matter of saving up the mats for it!

What have you been doing? urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:wow_ladies:16690634 idiocencratic Raiding Woes 2014-11-19T20:11:28Z 2014-11-19T20:11:28Z I know discussing raiding this close from the release of the Xpac is kind of premature.

But I have an issue that I am contemplating how to handle.

I am in a guild and my roommate is in the same guild. We really do not play together. He does his thing and I do mine. But he likes to raid. I am the raid leader.

I have been in the same guild since Firelands. I have been a raid leader since Ice Crown Citadle. I have been a raider since Molten Core.

So when I joined my guild back in Firelands they were trying to get two raid groups going. One was solid (my roommate was in this raid group) and one was a freaking shambles. I took over the bad raid group and kind of cracked down on absences and recruited quality players. By the time that Dragon Soul rolled around my raid group was better than the original raid group.

Shortly after the first raid group fell apart and mine was going strong. I tried to make room in my raid group for those from the first raid group that wanted to still raid. The only player I really kept was my roommate.

My roommate is basically an elitist jerk. He does nothing but play WoW, or talk about playing it. When I was leading raids he would whisper me about "why are you sucking so bad you should be doing this and that" blah blah blah. My issues were mostly gear issues and once I got that all straightened out I was out dps'ing him. I have a rogue and he has a hunter. He hates being second and gets pissy. Yes you are seeing a pattern here.

At the beginning of Panda Land I decided I was burnt out on raid leading and I just wanted to be a raider. Unfortuantely we could not find a raid leader that was worth anything and the raiding for the guild fell apart. Then my roommate decided he would raid lead and the group was succeeding. But I would get whispers all the time about how I was playing my toon and that I should be doing this and that blah blah blah. I got tired of it and raiding started to become a chore, and I was getting constantly angry (we had a healer that loved to smoke a ton of pot and then get distracted and played a lot of the "I have boobs so I can do anything I want too" bs that some girls do which pissed me off to no end). So I resigned my raid spot because I was just tired of everything. The healer said I did not have to leave that she would leave. I just told her that you do not need to leave but for the love of god learn to play your class. So she left and took one of the tanks with her. So that raid group folded.

A couple of weeks before this Xpac I told the raid leaders that I wanted to raid again and I would be more than willing to be the raid leader. They were extacting because they loved me as a raid leader and we progressed.

Now here is the deliema that I have.

My roommate left the guild because he wanted to be a more hardcore raider. But he learned in the realm of hardcore raiders he was a little fish in a pond where there were bigger fish so he did not make the raid roster all the time which made him angry. So he decided this xpac that he wanted to come back to the guild I am in. When I found out I cringed. I was actually looking forward to not raiding with him and having a blast. Now I know he is going to want to raid. I do not have to be a rocket scientist to know this.Now I have to decide how to handle him.

I could:

1) Tell him that he is not welcome in my raid and cause tension at home. Plus the fact that means he will not raid with the guild because we are only going to have one raid group going. I am more than willing to raid lead a 25 man group if we have the people but most likely we will be good to get 10 solid players.

2) Tell him that he is welcome to raid but any issues he has about my playing style need to be discussed after raid not whispering me during raid or coming to my room to bitch about it. Let me tell you this makes for a fun raid time.

3) Pull the Guild Leaders aside and explain that I cannot raid with him and let them make the decision.

or

4) Pull the Guild Leaderse aside and explain where I know I said I would raid lead I cannot raid lead with him in the raid and that they need to find a new raid leader. Which I so do not want to do. I have a second in command for my raid who is awesome and I feel so spoiled.

Ok Ladies what would you do in this situation? urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:wow_ladies:16690334 Eodri Goldleaf [A-Stormrage] Premium Café Recruiting 2014-11-19T18:31:22Z 2014-11-19T18:31:22Z Who Are We?
Premium Café is a brand new guild looking to recruit active, mature, respectable and talented members for our progression teams. We see the launch of the new expansion as a perfect time to recruit players who fit our credentials and are looking to spearhead a competitive team-based environment in WoD. Our first goal is to piece together a guild environment where all members and visitors feel at home, comfortable and challenged. With the assistance of all who may be interested in joining and our current leaders, we promise that you will not regret being a part of our community that aims to potentially develop into a family of players who are passionate about gaming, challenging themselves and others, consistently aiming to improve and hopefully make way for treasured memories that will be cherished.

When Are Our Events?
Our core group is currently looking to start around 9:30pm and finishing at 12:30am est 3 to 4 days a week. We also aim to have a morning raid team that will start at about 6 or 7am and end at around 10:30am est, however this will probably take some time to develop considering the small amount of players that consider these times ideal. Other groups will function based on the time that the majority of it's members are available. Please note that we also hope to spearhead the resurrection of guild sponsored server-wide events! Any ideas or assistance with this will be greatly appreciated.

I've joined newly formed progression guilds in the past, why should I give Premium Café a chance?
I understand that the sudden presence of our guild and lack of members may come across as an eye sore and turn off, trust me I truly understand where you're coming from. However, with assistance, the possibility of Premium Café becoming your dream guild is a very realistic, keep in mind though, that this guild will run by the standard "quality over quantity".

Ok, So How Do You Plan On Making This Work?
This is where I'm challenged as a guild, it will be up to us to MAKE things work. We will do our absolute best to ensure that the growing pains of this guild are numbed down as much possible. We dream of leading a guild filled with talented and courteous individuals who strive to have fun and meet their true potential in all aspects of life, not just in WoW, we will do everything it takes to ensure our dream comes true, and will do our best to provide you with kind and responsible leaders, a community that you are proud to be a part of and possibly even cherished memories that you will be able to look back on 30 or more years from now.

Ok So I Think I'm Kind Of Interested, But I'm Not 100% Sure
No Worries! Take your time, there is no rush at all. As soon as we are able to pin down some members that are willing to dedicate themselves to this guild and progress with our community, we will start doing trial runs for players interested in core groups or taking interviews for individuals interested in taking on the responsibility of a leadership role. Please note there is a short 1 on 1 interview (preferably over vent). We are also looking to interview individuals who feel that they are currently ready to commit themselves to our community. The interview and application process will not decide your placement in a progression team so don't worry! These two processes are simply in place so that we will be able to decide whether or not Premium Café is right for you.

Guild Requirements
18+ However there is the possibility of exceptions to this
No drama, if you're the kind of person that has a habit of making your conflicts public, then this is not the guild for you
Respectful and Courteous
For Progression Teams
90% attendance rates, life does happen and we understand this, emergencies are an exception to required attendance.
Willingness to hone the talent that we are all sure you have!
For our raid teams - You must stay updated on changes to your class that may effect your performance considerably, this includes gathering what information you can on PvE Mechanics
For our PvP teams - You must stay updated on changes to your class that may effect your performance considerably, this also includes updates to other classes.
We perform as a team, not individuals, this means that we either win together or lose together. If this mindset isn't something that you are okay with, then we are not the guild for you.
You are required as a member of a progression team to manage anything outside of raiding such as gemming, enchanting, repairs etc. There may be exceptions to this in the near future.
Contact us in-game if interested or post here! Derikwr, Enalon, or Mâia

She's recently level 97 (though I'm trying for 98 before bed tonight.) I'm having trouble keeping her alive while questing. The thing I've always loved is the built in self-healing with Shadow Priests and this new expac seems to have taken all that away.

I know there's the three orb heals but that doesn't seem to heal much. Neither does Vamp touch and I've popped Vamp Embrace with no real noticeable healing either. So, basically, I do the desperate prayer, shield with the heal, and three orb heals, with sporadic flash heals in between to keep me up.

It's just not as much fun leveling her in WoD. It feels how leveling my Ele Shammy was in MoP. Granted, I use her primarily for healing. Shadow is just for questing.

Here is my profile, if it helps:

I'm an arcane mage who cakewalked my way through all the quests and rares (even in nagrand minus the level 100 elites) solo (with the help of zone bonuses). So I can put out some damage and AOE and such. I know how to get out of the bad I know how to maneuver around to hit everyone where you're supposed to. I -cannot- complete the silver medal PG. if the fights weren't scaled to ilevel I'd say I need better gear but this is ridiculous. I've gone in with potions and flasks, savory feasts and all my magic wailing. I still can't finish it. Anyone else running into this problem? :( I just wanna do some heroics and work on my legendary ring.

So my question is: is it possible to run through a 5 man and have one of the bosses drop nothing for anyone, not even gold?

This seems to happen half the time on the last boss in the 5 mans and I'm just wondering if that's how it is meant to be or if it's a bug.

Have we all survived the zerg rush on the servers and DDOS? Assuming you were able to get some play time in, how's it going?

I'm not even going to try to list the most relevant updates. We'd be here all week. =) I'm going to assume you all know there's new content, so go check to see if your addons are updated.

So - questions? Comments? Something broken and/or driving you crazy? Everyone too busy doing follower missions to care? ;) urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:wow_ladies:16688842 I think I would just cut the wire. Ack! 2014-11-17T02:59:22Z 2014-11-17T02:59:22Z Boy oh boy...

Let me preface this by saying that I hate whining about this kind of thing. I've never considered myself a top player either, I was just casual and, that usually made me a bit of an annoyance for people in other guilds, though I lucked out and people in my guild on Moon Guard were pretty chill, mainly because yes, it's an RP server, so the focus isn't always on being a Mega Player, right?

Well about a year and a half ago, I kinda had to quit WoW. Money reasons, time reasons, all of it. I just wasn't able to do it, but with everyone hyped up about WoD I was like, what the hell, let's see what I've been missing.

Apparently everything?

I'm honestly so lost right now, I have no idea where to begin. And now I feel so much further behind everyone, and it shows. I feel like I get kinda ignored by most of the people in my guild when they knew why I had to take a break from WoW for a bit, and I have no idea where to begin. I don't know if I should stack the same stuff with my armor, or focus on another stat now, my rot is completely off (i can barely even remember my old one and half of the stuff from it is gone!), and so on, so it's all just a little overwhelming. I'd like some good references for this kind of thing, specifically for Warlocks. Especially ones that are kinda easy for novices to understand.

Anyway so here's my hopeless gal http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/moon-guard/Gemmalynn/simple I've more or less given up on all of my other characters and just gutted and deleted them to focus on getting her sorry carcass up so I'll be compatible once I download WoD this week but, it's kind of not very encouraging right now.

Also, any Moon Guard buddies out there? Horde or Alliance side, I have a character on both, though the Alliance side is just a baby. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:wow_ladies:16688434 Aubtimus Prime For the Horde!... possibly.... 2014-11-16T00:08:32Z 2014-11-16T00:08:32Z So with the beautific WoD out, I'm quite interested in leveling a Horde druid. I have a couple of 90 Hordes on Dalaran, but my old guild has disappeared (a "friend" usurped the GM when he was absent and sold it or somesuch), so I am willing to relocate to any server, provided I can find a good Horde PvE guild.

Any Horde guilds looking for a furry friend? urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:wow_ladies:16688183 Eloren Whatever happened to CAPSLOCK FRIDAYS? 2014-11-14T21:25:55Z 2014-11-14T21:25:55Z Riptide - Vance Joy I'll pretend.

Anyone knows if Xperl would be updated to WoD? I really love using Xperl as part of my UI, and right now it is just a mess as it's not been updated. Im using Pitbull Frames now but after years of being with a friend... u know... Pitbull feels weird and... not right. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:wow_ladies:16687807 firstname.lastname@example.com killiara WOO! 2014-11-13T08:21:51Z 2014-11-13T08:21:51Z It's live!

(or maybe is here if you're in Europe, I forget when they're release time is) Are we ready to go forth and pet collect???

While you're at that, don't forget to go back each week and do the Celestial Tournament! Even if you have all of the pets, the Pet Treats or Marked Flawless Battle Stones are likely still worth the time for it! Plus, there's also An Awfully Big Adventure to complete! I'm going to have to read up on beating some of the Celestial Tournament tamers with just 2 pets, though. I may need to expand my teams so that they can carry the plushie.

I won't get my Dread Raven until later tomorrow (physical CE, damn you!), but I'm looking forward to leveling him up as well.

I go to the Eye of Eternity to try for the Blue Drake, and I was a little bummed, because the Azure Drake dropped instead, and that's the one I already have.

So, I go from there to Onyxia...and guess what drops.

Two mounts in one day, even if I already had one of them! I felt like my luck was good, so I jumped on my DK and solo'd through ICC...

I am seriously so freaking happy I can't even.

I've been looking at that; it's gotten positive feedback here as well as with several of my friends.

So I decided to replace my nUI with SVUI. Removed nUi, downloaded the SV files, and popped them in as directed.
Okay, run through the basic setup - but now I cannot figure out how to adjust the size of my bars and chat windows. I've chosen the BIG bars for my powertray (sorry, the small powerbar option is too small for my bad eyesight) , but it's overlapping my chat window on the left and my quest window on the right.

Help? I suck at adjusting these things.

Edited to add: Okay, I found THAT, but now I cannot find an option to shrink the chat/quest windows. If I can get THAT I'm in like Flinn. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:wow_ladies:16686275 astridmyrna With Overwatch, Blizzard Is Trying To Do Women Characters Better 2014-11-10T18:03:53Z 2014-11-10T18:04:21Z Recent Kotaku article and was wondering if anyone else saw it:

Blizzard lore/story/sunglasses guy Chris Metzen and his daughter were watching a cinematic scene from World of Warcraft. There were swords, spells, dragons—the usual. His daughter, however, couldn't help but ask of the women characters, "Why are they all in swimsuits?"

Metzen relayed the tale during an Overwatch press conference at BlizzCon. He also said that Blizzard is trying to represent a more diverse, less overly sexualized group of characters than they did in the past.

"We've heard our female employees," he said. "And my daughter tools me out about it. She saw a World of Warcraft cinematic of the Dragon Aspects, and my daughter was like, 'Why are they all in swimsuits?' And I was like, 'I don't know. I don't know anymore.'"

"I think we're clear we're in an age where gaming is for everybody. We build games for everybody. We want everybody to come and play. Increasingly people want to feel represented from all walks of life, everywhere in the world. Boys and girls—everybody. We feel indebted to do our best to honor that."

However, even in the context of Overwatch, which represents a good number of different races, nationalities, and sexes, Metzen admitted that "there's a lot of room for growth." And to be fair, Overwatch's women are mostly super slim and clad in cat suits, so... yeah. (That's not to say they aren't great characters, nor that a game shouldn't have some sexy characters. I just agree with Metzen: there's room to grow.)

For Blizzard, that's definitely a focus going forward. Metzen added:

"Specifically for Overwatch over the past year we've been really cognizant of that, trying not to oversexualize the female characters. I don't know if we oversexualize the male characters. But it's something we're very sensitive to. We want that to be part of who we are, what our brand is. I think [Blizzard president] Mike [Morhaime] talked in a roundabout way to that in his speech [at the start of BlizzCon]. It's something we're very cognizant of. We want girls to feel kick-butt. Equally represented."

Overwatch game director Jeff Kaplan capped it off: "We want everyone to feel kick-butt!"

 urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:wow_ladies:16685854 kraylessa The Final Countdown 2014-11-10T16:24:25Z 2014-11-10T16:49:36Z With only a couple of days left before WoD hits, I am trying to prioritize the few remaining things I'd like to get done between now and then. I've managed to get all the Garrosh Heirlooms I "need". The only one I still wouldn't mind getting is a normal-mode two-handed axe, in case I decide to respec from Arms to Fury on my Warrior. But honestly, it seems like normal mode is harder to kill than heroic mode with pugs these days. I wiped repeatedly on normal Garry last week on my Shaman trying to get a second one-handed axe for her Enhancement spec (already had the Heroic one).

The main thing I need to do is get my Shaman playable in her Enhancement spec. She has always been Resto/Elemental, but I decided I want to level her as Enhancement in WoD. I got most of her gear sorted out yesterday. Ran a full Heroic SoO clear for some upgrades, filled in the blanks with the Shado-pan Assault 522 stuff, and bought the legendary cloak and meta gem from Black Prince. However, I haven't gemmed/enchanted anything yet and I still need to get her bars and weakauras set up for Enhancement DPS. So that is definitely priority #1 for tonight.

In addition to that, I still haven't done the Blasted Lands questline on my Monk. She has two Mistweaver specs and no DPS gear at all. So I'd like to get a Windwalker spec set up for her and some basic gear so she can at least get through that quest chain. I don't plan to play her early on in WoD (my Warrior and Shaman will be my first two 100s), but I would like to get her to a playable state for if/when I decide to level her.

I also wouldn't mind getting the 550 drops out of UBRS for my Monk and Paladin. Again, not SUPER important, but would be a nice little boost for when I start leveling them to 100 eventually.

When raids reset tomorrow, I'd like to go ahead and kill Ordos and Celestials one last time on all my 90's for a final chance at upgrades, but I don't think I'll bother farming any charms for seals on the toons that don't have enough seals for bonus rolls.

Then the last thing is that I am considering race changing my Warrior and/or Shaman. My Warrior is a male Pandaren and my Shaman is a female Pandaren. I am madly in love with the new female Orc models, so now I am seriously considering a race change for one or both of them. Female Orcs look especially good in plate, so that is a good reason to race change my Warrior. And with my respec to Enhancement on my Shaman, she is like a whole new toon anyway, so it seems like an excellent time for a race change. I really want to decide ASAP, because if I do race change, I'd like to use the leveling from 90-100 as a chance to get used to it. But if I DO decide to race change either of them, that means working on new mog sets and how will I have time for that before Thursday?!?!

What are the last-minute things you guys are working on before the expansion?

Edit: I thought of one more thing I need to take the time to do! I have something like 200+ timeless isle gear tokens of various armor types. I need to convert them all (except maybe one or two of each type) into gear and DE them on the toons that can DE them and vendor them on the the toons that can't. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:wow_ladies:16685757 freely wondering UI Mod Monday! 2014-11-10T14:01:09Z 2014-11-10T14:01:09Z

Morning everyone!

Recovered from BlizzCon yet? *passes around the coffee pot*
Ready for Warlords to drop on Thursday?

I have no idea what else Warlords is going to do to UIs, or if the majority of changes were present in the pre-expac patches. I suspect that a lot of them are already in play, but I haven't seen an expac not break things yet, so we'll see.

Seatbelts buckled and ready to go? =) This will be here not only for questions before expac release but after, until next Monday's post catches us up again. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:wow_ladies:16684995 firstname.lastname@example.com dark_sephy Vuhdo Help 2014-11-08T16:52:06Z 2014-11-08T16:52:06Z Hello all ^^ I have not posted here in an awfully long time, so apologies if this has been answered, I did search through tags but couldn't see anything (albeit I have not used LJ in such a long time I may have failed to search correctly).

As per the title I am seeking some Vuhdo help :) I just recently (as in this morning) switched to this from healbot as I heard it had such functions as 'cluster' etc. For the most part I have it set out how I like, but there are certain things I cannot switch off and no amount of googling seems to be helping.

 1) When I heal a target there's a strange white bar that appears at the top of the bar that seems to go down, as this is abit hard to explain I have screenshotted this, how do I turn this off? I have no idea as to it's function as it does not seem to be overheal or incoming heals. http://i.imgur.com/DgMPSp9.jpg

2) How do I turn off other peoples buffs? I went into LFR to quickly see how it looked and noticed I could see when a hunter used their CDs. I don't mind seeing tank CDs (which I have setup) but don't really want to clutter my frames with DPS CDs etc.

3) Although I used a guide and did some tweaking with the cluster effect, how is this best used? This is a big reason why I switched to Vuhdo as it would be nice for spells such as Prayer of Healing, and although I did go into LFR I was so busy looking at debuffs that were popping up all over the place (which I have hopefully sorted) that I did not really see the cluster effect.

Many thanks for any help! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:wow_ladies:16684548 Mac So the Warcraft movie is finally happening 2014-11-08T01:30:03Z 2014-11-08T01:30:03Z After years of discussion and opinion and thinking no, it will never happen, finally it is.

There are details of the announcements made at Blizzcon on MMO.champion for anyone interested in more detail.

The time setting is about what I thought it would be; early enough to use characters we aren't all that familiar with as far as gaming interaction is concerned, but still rich in lore to draw on. If it's done right, it should be amazing. The special fx available today as seen in films like Avatar and LotR mean that Orcs will be exactly as the designers want them to be.

Im particularly fascinated by the comment that a set section of Stormwind was made, complete with notice board and mail boxes. How cool would that be to walk through.

Will follow its development with interest.

Bodhgaya serial blasts : Bihar Government ignored IB warning Last Updated : 07 Jul 2013 02:08:35 PM IST Bodh Gaya serial blasts : Bihar Govt ignored IB warning
A team of Delhi Police is likely to visit Bihar's Bodh Gaya town to share information provided by the Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorists who had earlier planned an attack on the temple, police said on Sunday.
The question arises when the Intelligence Bureau had already issued alert regarding threat to Mahabodhi Temple in Bodhgaya than why the Bihar government did not paid heed to it .
This is the first terror attack in Bihar and how is it possible that a terrorist became successful in planting a bomb inside the temple premises when according to the Bihar government security was hightened after the intelligence warning .
After nine blasts rocked the Mahabodhi temple complex at Bodhgaya, Intelligence agencies are conducting raids in various hotels in Nawada,jamui, Shekhupura ,Aurangbad ,jehanabad ie in and around Gaya.
Intelligence reports suggested that two terrorists had sneaked into Bihar last month and central forces were deployed for security .
As Indian Mujahideen module busted by the Delhi special team in August 2012 had planned to attack the Bodhgaya Temple in Bihar. and Delhi police informed Bihar Police and asked them to step up security in the temple premises.Riyaz Bhatkal located in Karachi in Pakistan consulted the terror attack with Yasin Bhatkal, The reason cited by the Bhatkal was that Bodhgaya terror attack is to take revenge of the atrocities being conducted on minorities in Myanmar.
German bakery blast accused had confessed during interrogation that a recce was done in Bodhgaya, said BJP spokerman Ravi Shankar prasad.
Bihar Chief minister Nitish Kumar has arrivd in Bodhgaya .
But Preliminary investigations shows that the motive was more to scare than cause destruction as the timing of the blasts was so selected when thre are less number of people in the temple .
Security alert sounded at Indo-Nepal border
An alert was today sounded on the Indo-Nepal border after nine serial explosions rocked the internationally renowned temple town of Bodh Gaya in Bihar.
District Magistrate K V Pandiyan said police and SSB have been alerted after the terror attack and they have been asked to maintain a vigil on the border.
He said security has been increased in famous Devipatan and other temples.Nine serial blasts took place inside and outside the
Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya early this morning in which two monks were injured.
Similar threats were issued in 2012
In 2012 similar threat was issued and CCTV cameras in and around the temple were installed but how is it possible that bombs were planted inside and outside the temple premises .
Police sources claimed that the state government and district authorities had beefed up security measures following the warning.
If CCTV cameras are installed than national investigative agency NIA will be able to get enough evidence .
The Mahabodhi Temple is one of the 84,000 shrines erected by King Asoka the Great in the 3rd century B.C.
A control room should be set up at the Bodh Gaya police station located adjacent to the Mahabodhi temple to monitor activities and movement of people under the coverage area.
The National Investigation Agency is investigating the blst site
While four serial blasts took place inside the Mahabodhi Temple complex at about 5:40 am, three blast took place at the Terega Monastery. The eight blast took place near the famous 80-foot statue of Lord Buddha.
DIG Nayyar Husnain Khan said, "The sanctum sanctorum of the Mahabodhi Temple is intact. The identity of the injured monks is yet to be ascertained.
India continues to be one of the most persistently targeted countries by transnational terrorist groups like Lashkar e Taiba and other terrorists groups.
BJP attacks Bihar Govt
The Bharatiya Janata Party attacked the government over the security lapse in Bodhgaya in the backdrop of the bomb blasts at the Mahabodhi Temple in which five people are injured.
"If this is a result of issue in Myanmar, it is a new front of terrorism," BJP spokesperson Prakash Javedkar said.
The BJP also appealed the Central as well as the state government to investigate the matter seriously. "This is extremely unfortunate, we condemn it. We appeal the Central and Bihar government to investigate this matter seriously," he said.
While four serial blasts took place inside the Mahabodhi Temple complex at about 5:40 AM, three blast took place at the Terega Monastery. The eight blast took place near the famous 80-foot statue of Lord Buddha.
