Since I likely won't speak with you again until next week, I just wanted to wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving!
This is a Holiday that is probably overlooked more than it should be. I think we as human beings have it in our nature to only dwell on the things we DON'T HAVE or the things that we feel are WRONG in our lives, rather than ENJOYING what we DO have.
BTW, sorry to be "that guy" capitalizing random words for emphasis. :)
But seriously... I challenge you to sit back and reflect this Thanksgiving and even this Holiday season about all of the things you DO have to be thankful for. I bet there are way more than you realize.
Now that that's said, enjoy this "Three F Holiday" - FAMILY, FOOD and FOOTBALL!!!!
Oh and Go Chiefs, too :)

This is so wrong and so stupid that its hilarious.
A couple was in the resort town of "Blackpool" in England when they left a review of a horrible hotel they had been staying in on TripAdvisor.
It turns out, they used the phrase "dirty and rotten" and the hotel caught wind of it and............ FINED THEM $160!!!!
HAHHAHAH. How can a hotel FINE YOU for leaving a review of subpar service and circumstances?
Apparently local authorities are making them give the money back and change the rule, but I found it quite funny.
That got the conversation started today on the 5 O Clock Sound Off - whats the worst hotel experience you ever had? Some great calls.
Thanks for all your feedback and remember to be careful next time what kind of review you post about the shady hotel you're staying in. ;)
The United States Postal Service continues to cut by the day, making it more and more likely that within a few years, mail will only be delivered a few times a day and in a decade, perhaps it won't even exist other than packages, certified mail, etc. via places like UPS or Fed Ex.
I am actually pretty sad about this... The USPS announced that they're getting rid of 82 more postal centers throughout the country, as well as more and more branches. That's loss of jobs and less efficiency with mail delivery.
I'm pretty new aged in everything I do - I've full embraced technology in 2014 and have about every gizmo you could need.
But there's something sweet and sentimental about hand written letters... about going to the end of your drive way to get the mail... about middle aged delivery men who used to wear striped tube socks up their knees... :) I will miss the postal service as it continues to dwindle away... just think how good of a deal it is - you can mail a freaking letter, ANYWHERE in the U.S., for around 50 cents. Do you realize how good of a deal that is? it's still the lowest among major countries.
Think how much it would cost you to do it on your own, and all of a sudden the postal service becomes a great deal.
Now don't mind me... I'm off to pick up the milk that my milkman left by my front door. I'll send this telegram on its way.
I wanted to congratulate both Royals left fielder Alex Gordon & Royals General Manager Dayton Moore on being the two awarded the honor of flipping the Plaza Lights in 2014, on Thanksgiving night!
Both are extremely deserving and hard working, humbled, good human beings.
In the case of Alex, I went to high school with his wife and have gotten the pleasure of getting to know the family pretty well. Couldn't be better people representing our city, both on and off the field.
Who else CANT WAIT to see the below lights again?!?!? #Beautiful
The below message pretty much sums up exactly what I want to say to ALL of the men and women who have served our great country.
You have made us what we are and given us our freedoms and liberties.
-Dave O
I'm headed down to broadcast live and hang out with you tonight at The Edge Of Hell, right under the 12th street bridge in the West Bottoms! I'll be there with Ponch, whose marrying 40 couples!!
The Edge Of Hell is one of the BEST Haunted Houses in America (seriously, its on a whole bunch of Top 5 lists).
Come down and have an unforgettable Halloween with us!
This month has been ALL about the #Royals in KC - I can't tell you how amazing this is to be a part of... I guess I don't have to, since you are living it up, too!
Seriously... everywhere I go... even people that have NO CLUE that I'm obsessed with the Royals... All they talk about is them... my frineds across the country telling me they're now Royals fans... your calls... social media posts... this town has a one track mind and I LOVE IT.
Let's get this thing going tonight in World Serise Game #1 with a "W!"
Kind of sad story.
Remember Jesse Helt, the guy that Miley Cyrus brought on stage at the VMA's?
Because of that, he's in big trouble.
See below :(
I am like a little kid... on Christmas.... with loads of sugar... and presents!!!!!
The ROYALS are THE STORY of national baseball writers, as they square off with Detroit this weekend at "The K." All three games are sold out - all three are on national TV - and if KC wins 2, they'll be tied for first place with 7 games to go. Win all 3? Be two games ahead with 7 to go!!
The stakes couldn't be any higher, and neither could my blood pressure. :)
My alarm clock went off around 9:30 AM on 9/11/2001. I was a junior at the University of Nebraska and was waking up for class. Before I even knew what was going on, I could tell something was HORRIBLY WRONG from the morning show on the radio station I worked for. They were in all news coverage and there was somberness out of them that I'd never heard.
Within 5 minutes, I pieced together what had happened - it was difficult, because at that time, terrorism was something that we saw in the movies, for the most part, and not on American Soil. At least not to that level.
Even 13 years later, I can't comprehend what happened that day. It's so impossible to grasp how there can be so much evil in the world and how that evil can feel that they are allowed to end innocent lives of so many and besides that, destroy families. It's so, so sad. So, so senseless. And so, so hard to believe. It's a tragedy that will NEVER fade in the hearts of Americans and so many people of different cultures and continents around the world. WE WILL NEVER FORGET. We will STAND TOGETHER.
On this day, I think of those we lost that day... there parents... wives.... husbands.... children..... friends.... co-workers.... and I say a prayer but more than that, SEND STRENGTH to everyone involved.
And really, we are ALL involved. We are in this together.
We will NEVER stop hurting.
We will NEVER quit standing together.
We will NEVER forget.
I am honored, humbled and excited to be one of the emcees for tomorrow mornings (Thursday 8/27) "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" Kick-off Breakfast. For the second straight year, myself and Carolyn Long from KCTV5 will be doing our small part in helping to attack the horrible disease of breast cancer. It affects all of us, either directly or indirectly, and this is a very powerful cause that I'm very passionate in helping out.
If you're there tomorrow, can't wait to see you!
If not, keep it on Mix and/or check out the American Cancer Society to see how you to can help "make it a year with more Birthdays" for all of those affected by these horrible disease.
Guess whose on the COVER of Sports Illustrated this wee? OUR ROYALS and BILLY BUTLER!!! I am on cloud nine right now, but I'm a bit worried... will this lead to an #SiCoverJinx?
NO... because we're a team of destiny.
Go pick it up and tell conspiracy theorists to get lost!!! t :)
I enjoyed having lunch today (Thursday 8/14) at the Dairy Queen in Lee's Summit on "Miracle Treat Day!"
Hopefully you can do the same as you head home from work - have a blizzard, HELP THE KIDS!!!
And this isn't just at the Lee's Summit DQ, it's all over the metro.
That's right, its the annual Dairy Queen fundraiser for the Children's Miracle Network, where a portion of each blizzard at participating DQ locations goes to support CMN hospitals, including KU Med Pediatric.
So eat ice cream, help the kids!!!
We plan it... we talk about... and finally... its arrived!

There's good and bad news with Hillary Duff.
First, the bad news, as she is splitting up with her husband, which obviously has her in a difficult place in life (read below).
The good news is, it's inspired her to do an album - her first since 2007! Hard to believe it's been seven years.
I have met Hillary a couple of times and she was always very gracious, sweet and down to earth. I believe she married for all of the right reasons and does most things in her life the same way - I truly do wish her the best and admire her!
Can't wait to hear the new album.
Wow............... Just wow.............
I'll see this movie but the trailer kind of creeps me out... I didn't read the books - VERY interesting choices for the actors... Kind of went with the "non-a or B list" route.
YOUR thoughts???
Watch the trailer below.
The linked video will likely make you smile, laugh and cry.
A poor bride-to-be saw her Dad tragically pass away six months before her wedding day. So the question became not only HOW she would get through the tough time but also, who would walk her down the aisle?
As it turned out, it was her favoite college team's mascot. Watch below!
This might be the coolest music video I've seen in a long time. Love the positive message that this video portrays and the (at times) funny dancing!
Check it out - the most requested song on my show the last few days - "All That Bass" from Meghan Trainor.
Tomorrow night, don't forget - The Bachelor is doing the Casting Call here in KC!!!
5 PM - 9 PM (Thursday) at Visions KC, located on the lower of the Marriott in Briarcliff.
Good luck and have fun!!!
... You betcha!
Who would have ever thunk that our 29th president would be such a hopeless romantic?
He wrote love letters to his mistress, a woman named Carrie, back in 1910. They were just released. Check out the link below to read.
What a pimp!!!
Are you a man who wants to be the next "Bachelor?"
Are you a woman who wants to be pursued by the next "Bachelor?"
Well, you are in luck, thanks to Mix and The Bachelor teaming up for "The Bachelor Casting Call" here in KC on July 10th at the Courtyard By Marriot at Briarcliff from 5-9 PM!
And how about this? I have front of the line VIP passes all week, for you to arrive, go to the front and get in quicker to see the directors.
Keep it on Mix to win.
In the meantime, check out this recent (slightly) alarming interview with former contestant Courtney Robertson!!! #Scandelous
Just announced - July 21st at UMKC.
Way more to come on Mix - but the only question left is:
Which song will YOU sing at the audition?!??!
The Monarch Hot Dog - over at the Negro League's Museum.
Looks delicious as heck - (see below photo.... and if you aren't already running away from the Internet to drive to the museum, click to read the article)!
Some facts about this winning streak for you to impress your friends or co-workers with:
-The Royals have won double digit games in a row for the first time since 1994.
-In 1994, they won 14 in a row.
-This is the latest in a year that the Royals have been in first place since 2003.
-They were last in first place on this date in............... 1980!!!
Translation: we are on fire and we are the best.
As we just talked about on Mix, this video has been viral the last couple of days... and I was SHOCKED how many people hadn't yet seen it.
So, without further adue, enjoy the AWESOMENESS of Sir Mix-A-Lot and the Seattle Symphony....
See the below link to view for yourself - but "plus size models" have begun the fight to show off what real sized women look like. I put "plus size models" in quotations because these women really don't appear to be what you would consider "plus size.' They are beautiful, just as everyone is, in their own way.
Take a look and see what you think - but good for these women for showing off "their plus sizes." (Ridicolous term)
I've gotta tell you, it has really hit home for me how many lives we are changing with Co-Worker Cash. That's beacuse we actually DELIVER THE CASH TO YOU that you win, by listening five times each weekday (during the hours of 8, 10, 12, 2 & 4). And seeing the excitement... hearing how the money will be spent... is really rewarding to me. I've heard things from "helping to pay for a honeymoon" to "paying off my credit card" to "my husband and I are taking a weekend vacation to Colorado!" Trust me, I'm fully aware that you've probably tried to play and win radio contests before, and never win... I know its frustrating.. I was there in a past life. But this is the easiest contest EVER. All you have to do is sign up on this very website and listen for your name - call back and win. It's that simple.
Hope to see YOU soon, with a wad of cash in hand for YOU. Thanks for listening and have a great weekend!
This reminds me of the classic high school fight that goes something like this:
Guy One: Hey man. Are you talking trash? Let's go. (Pushes other guy twice).
Guy Two: Okay dude. Screw you. (Pushes back three times, reaches for shoulder).
Guy One: Heyyy. wait. You just ripped my shirt man!
(Fight Commences - Note, this is funnier when you imagine two "stoner" sounding guys saying it)
Except this fight is virtual and with words... between KC native Eric Stonestreet and KISS.
See below on TMZ - it even involves a Mom - a VERY sensitive subject!!!
Okay first of all, I'm a self admitted romantic and very nostalgic. I like to think of things in beautiful and peaceful terms, and romanticize them, too. So that might explain why I both love and hate driving by these old, deserted, run down KCMO schools that continue to sit empty.
Schools like Westport High School (below), the Horace Mann School (recently torn down), Valentine School (on SW Trafficway), Blenheim Elementary (off of Gregory and HWY 71), etc, etc. They all look like they had so much character and strength, and its easy for me, as I drive by, to imagine all of the lives they touched. All of the people who passed through there, and all of the halls and playgrounds and parking lots that were once full of people, cars and dreams.
It's neat to imagine these schools once hustling and bustling, and kind of fun to try and imagine a different time. But sad now in that they sit empty, mainly because of lack of funding and tough times that continue to face the KC MO school system.
If you happen to be reading this and went to one of these schools, or have memories of them, I'd love to hear from you, either right here on the comments section of this page or via email, email@example.com .
In the meantime, I'll keep driving past them and dreaming.
She will THROW OUT THE FIRST PITCH at a Bakersfield Blaze minor league baseball game - its now confirmed. HAHHAHA. I have been laughing all day. I'm not sure how they'll do it but I'm assuming they will hold her about a foot above the catchers mit and have the owner put her paw on a ball, that will then drop into the catcher's mitt? I can't wait to see video, as I'm sure TMZ or the team itself will post.
For a cat lover like me, I'm just soaking this all up!
My cats KC and Tippy have made me watch this video TEN TIMES today. They're very proud.
Me? I find it AWE-SOME. Finally, a cat getting some good press!
See below video on TMZ if you haven't seen it yet.
Who would have ever thought that we'd actuallly be giving PROPS to a Denver Bronco?
I know, I know... it's borderline sinning on my part even writing those words and putting that sentence together... but gotta show love for Wes Welker.
That's because at the Kentucky Derby over the weekend, he won a HUGE bet on the race... and so he did the natural thing... started to make it rain with $100 bills.
In fact, he just handed them out randomly to strangers, saying, "here you go, here's $100."
Apparently the police told him to stop shortly after he started so there wouldn't be a maylay... but pretty cool.
And speaking of just throwing out $100 bills, keep it on Mix all week for CO-WORKER CASH!!!
Today I read about two teenage girls in New Jersey who put a KITTEN (similar to the one below) in a MICROWAVE, on video, laughed and shared it with the world on YouTube. They have since been arrested.
Then, there's a whale that washes up, also in New Jersey, that YES, is already dead, but people decide to spray graffiti all over it, no doubt laughing the entire time.
I ask you, as a fellow human being, and someone who is very small to the world, what gives us the right or craving to harm innocent creatures, or humiliate them? Why do we feel like we are invincible and take the bigger picture for granted? It really, really makes me feel down somedays.
Please promise me one thing - ANYTIME you see an animal being treated in a harmful or wrong manner, be big enough to STEP UP and say "NO" and let the person or people know "No, that's not cool" and "why would you do that?" If that gets no resolution, call somebody to make sure it will.
We will never be able to stop animal cruelty - that's a hard pill to swallow.
However, if we each do our part, we can greatly reduce the amount of this stuff that goes on.
We talked about this on this afternoon's "5 O'Clock Sound Off" and I was shocked to hear how many women admitted that they have dated a man they don't find physically attractive... at all. Even sexy, smoking hot studs like the one above!!!
To be serious, it seems difficult for me to comprehend how you could be with somebody you weren't physically attracted to. I mean, I understand that we can all be honest and that while looks are subjective, it's fairly well agreed upon that certain individuals are better looking than others. So obviously, someone like me can admit that I'm a 6 on a 1-10 look scale and as such, typically date a girl in the 6-7 range, as well. So in that regard, I can understand saying your partner isn't perhaps the most "BEAUTIFUL" outside, as defined by society. BUT, with that said, I think you have to be attracted to the person you're with to truly love them. That's NOT the most important thing, but if you don't think they're attractive, how do you feel comfortable being seen with them? Going out? Where's the flame? How does the physical stuff work?
Further, I definitely think someone can get a patner hook line n sinker from their personality, character, etc. (the truly IMPORTANT things). But they'd have to at least be tolerable to look at, right?
Anyway, the above stat being confirmed by KC women just floored me. But hey, if that's the case, maybe I need to start setting my sights on Mila Kunis?? :)
I'm sure if you're a Royals fan, you saw second baseman Omar Infante get DRILLED in the CHIN by an 89 MPH fastball on Monday night. He went down right away, blood was everywhere and it seemed that everyone agreed that he would be out 2 months with a broken jaw or at the least, out 10 days with a concussion.
Fast forward to today, when Infante is (as of right now) in the ROYALS LINEUP tonight, just four days later! He will have to wear a batting helmet with a jaw pad and more than that, deal with the mental side of stepping in with a still severely bruised and aching jaw, and I'm sure, a battered brain, too. Infante is a brave man and here's to him staying healthy the rest of the year!
Glad you're a Royal, Omar!
Have a good weekend KC and let's hope the Royals can SWEEP the Twins this weekend!
This might seem like a ridicolous thing to write about, but I find the power of a smile to be amazing.
First of all, on a receiving end, it makes me feel good when somebody takes the time to make eye contact and smile. It's not even something that I often realize is happening to me; but subconsciously, that does A LOT in helping us to feel better about ourselves, our lives, our days.
So naturally, why not flip it around and start doing it to someone else? SMILE at them! Ask how they are, even if you don't really care. Make them feel important. If you have down time and are stuck sitting next to someone while waiting in line, or for an elevator, or a walk light... strike up a conversation. Why not?
This is the most basic premise of "random acts of kindness" and really, the most easy one to achieve.
I'll close with a story... the last several weeks, I've gone into Subway to get a salad every Tuesday as I head into work at a certain Subway that I'm only by on Tuesday's. The first couple of weeks, I noticed an employee who seemed run down, tired, angry, sad... not happy... And so I decided by the third time this was consistent and I should try to make him feel better - let him know there ARE good people and things in the world, and that people DO care. Even if its basic and nothing huge.
So the last few weeks, I've been smiling at him and being very positive and upbeat, and asking him questions. Slowly, he's warmed up. And now, he smiles and is happy and talkative when I come in. Just from taking a few seconds to make him feel like somebody cares.
We interact with people like this every single day without even realizing it. There are situations where we're around people for short amounts of time and we can't avoid that. So next time, instead of saying nothing and looking at your phone or thinking, "not my problem, loser," do the right thing and ask how they are... what's new... talk about the weather... and most of all...
It is so completely tragic - the news that "there are no surivors" with Flight 370, which is somewhere at the bottom of the Indian Ocean.
Not only tragic for the completely obvious reasons - the plane being intentionally crashed and innocent lives lost - but also for the fact that this all makes NO SENSE. At all.
And the scary thing is, we probably will NEVER KNOW exactly what happened, who wrecked it or what the motives were, especialy if the black box can't be found in the next week or so. Let's hope like heck that it is!
It is easy for all of us to say, "Well, that's sad, but its a half a world away, and that would never happen in America. Sad but it'll never be us - that only happens to somebody else."
But I hope you won't fall into that trap and instead, will join me in focusing on what this is - a complete and utter tragedy, one that deserves all of our strength and prayers going out to those involved and their families, friends and loved ones. Only human support will get those touched directly by this through it.
#RIP and the world stands with you...
Okay, the guy no doubt has problems. I'm not trying to make light of them because they're serious and not funny.But at some point, you have to stop blaming others, situations and things "out of your control" and start taking control and charge of your life.

No matter your political viewpoints, I hope you find this video as HILARIOUS as I do. Classic stuff.
What a cool story - and I want to try that pizza so bad next time I'm in Hollywood. How do I buy stock in that pizza company?!?http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/showbiz/2014/03/04/pmt-intv-martirosyan-oscar-pizza-delivery.cnn.html
And I hope he can. :( I have no idea what the background is of their marriage, if it was a mutual split, if he's in the wrong or she's in the wrong... but that's not important. What is important is that they are both hurting and going through a traumatic event, and that's always sad to see, especially when there is a child involved (three year old Julian). The pair have been married since 2005 and always seemed so happy together - so let's hope if this was meant to work, they will still be able to salvage it!
Cheers, brother.
Kansas City's favorite afternoon host, Dave O, has a special goodbye video for co-worker Nathan Grah...
Let me start by saying I think it is FANTASTIC that Sam "came out" publicly and got that "burden" off of him. In addition, I'm happy to see UMKC accepting such students, too (see below link). So one side of me is so happy to finally see America realizing that it's none of our business and it doesn't really matter who someone loves - as long as they're happy and not doing any harm to anyone.
But that also makes me sad, that even in 2014, we spend days and days and days covering the same stories - about someone's sexual orientation. How is this news? It's not, and I look forward to the day we view it as such.
I am hot (excited) and cold (disappointed) in my boy Diddy!First of all, the hot - we heard news over the weekend that he was engaged to pop singer Cassie. If you remember her as the singer of the club banger "U and Me" in 2005, you'd be correct! I always loved Cassie and am excited that they are together and happy. I guess he no longer needs a girl girl girl to call his wife.
However, I am cold because of what he did to a server. See below - but come on!!! Even I, making NO MONEY, tip 25% and take care of servers because I realize that an extra couple of dollars means a heck of a lot more to them than me. Come on Diddy!!!

Hi,Just started using the Android app and it's great.Just a little thing that could make it perfect:Push changes as they happen from web to phone.I don't like to set the synch schedule to every few minutes, for health reasons I don't like my phone using data every 5 mins from my pocket.When I make a change on the phone, it is instantly synced to web. so that's no problem. Just from the web to the phone.I saw you have something similar for iPhone - why not make it for Android too...Thanks,Itay.
Posted at 6:41pm on July 29, 2010

That will certainly make establishing agro at the start of the fight or after a tank swap a bit smoother.
Source: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/3300854
Massive wall-of-text about changes to one of the most fundamental aspects of tanking - threat. Here's a brief statement from the post that summarizes the actual changes:
Upcoming changes
Here are the specific changes you're likely to see:
Hotfix: The threat generated by classes in their tanking mode has been increased from three times damage done to five times damage done.
In an upcoming patch: Vengeance no longer ramps up slowly at the beginning of a fight. Instead, the first melee attack taken generates Vengeance equal to one third of the damage dealt by that attack. As Vengeance updates during the fight, it is always set to at least a third of the damage taken in the last two seconds. It still climbs from that point at the previous rate, still decays at the previous rate, and still cannot exceed the current maximum.

That will certainly make establishing agro at the start of the fight or after a tank swap a bit smoother.
I'm trying to figure out what I think about all this... to me this is a HUGE change to the most fundamental aspect of the role I've played for my entire WoW career and I'm not sure I'm a fan of the change. Making threat a non-issue removes one of the ways that a tank can improve their performance and the performance of the whole raid (by not throttling the dps). Making threat a non-issue also removes a way that a superior tank can set themselves apart from the rest, in the same way that a dps'er can look at damage meters to measure their performance.
It might be good for the game overall, especially with the LFG groups and the gear disparity that exists there, but for the raiding scene I'm not sure if I like it...
"Stop trying to hit me and hit me!"
~ Morpheus
I couldn't believe what I was reading, I thought I was reading too much into it until he actually said "We have therefore decided to buff tank threat generation in a hotfix this week to where it's generally not a major consideration."
This is astounding and I'm looking forward to this PTR. I wonder how they're going to change our abilities to fall in line with the gameplay changes GC hinted at. More active defensive abilities? Sounds pretty frickin' cool to me.
In a raid setting, I do not usually have agro issues. It's those times that I taunt off my co-tank that I worry about in a raid setting. Obviously, it works in reverse when he taunts off me I have to slow down, to give him time to get his veng. up. What I like the most is this will make it easyier to tank pug's and not have to worry about some goofball not attacking the skull. It will just make my life easier.
I think a good tank will still stand out from the bad ones. I can understand your point but I think I am a great tank, I have a good rotation/use of skills at the right time. But still at times agro can go bad and it's just a frustrating thing to happen.
so whatever happened to the whole "threat should matter" or whatever they had a long time ago where they wiped threat from tanking abilities and stuff
so.... the only hard role will be healing....
panda/epic/carebears for everyone.
so basically
"call to arms has failed us guys,lets conjure up another way to get people to roll tanks in heroics"
i wonder how long buffing tank threat will last before people quit tanking because there tired of the way dps and healers treat them in heroics
Last edited by PimpJuice4; 08-16-2011 at 10:04 AM.
No I didn't mean it only applies to heroics. I mean that 5-man, groups (from my experience), if I am tanking them (and I feel like I am pretty solid at tanking), I will deal with a) bad healer, b) bad DPS not focus firing my marked target. The healer can be replaced, DPS can be replaced but a vast majority of the time DPS is the issue for me.
Conversly, when I am healing the tank will be either a) good but dealing with retarded DPS, b) bad tank, good DPS, but the tanks so bad the DPS are pulling agro off him even when they are playing correctly (dps can't wait forever).
So my thought is this helps 5-mans more then raids. Raids, I only really have an agro issue when my DPS are bored on trash and not paying attention. Or when my cotank or I taunt a boss off each other and we don't wait for vengence to stack on the other tank.
Well....that's an interesting change. o.O Not sure how I even like this. It's uhm...making tanking a lil easier for sure...

"Damnit!" - Jack Bauer, 24
Increasing threat by 2/5 is pretty *hum* astounishing.
Vengeance: instead of getting 5% attackpower every other hit we are capped in raid content in just one 60k hit? And decay/gain is at the same rate thus if i dodge twice in a row i'm sitting at minimum vengeance? That sounds pretty clunky for avoidance tanks (hello 50% dodge druids).
It probably is not much more than just a way to compensate for an increase in DPS and / or some game mechanics. Not very surprising that tanks would be falling a little behind by the third patch of an expansion.

Urg, While i agree having tank game play built around keeping Defensives up could be fun, But tbh working more like Deathstrikes isn't fun, i play a warrior becuase i like being a warrior, I like that we have toManually keep TC and Demo debuffs up, i don't want Deathstrikes.
I like the long term goal of vengeance stacking fast at low levels and slowly at high levels, the 5x damage band aid make me cringe. But as a hot fix? great so until they sort out making active defensive game play work i don't have it and i don't even have the challenge of pulling nice numbers or worrying about threat. It really make me reconsider my subscription.
When is SWTOR coming out?
But seriously... what this means is basically if you're in a decent raid group, threat will officially become irrelevent. It'll still be nice for 5mans, where the 15% buff and T13 geared toons will be pulling 40k in AoE situations mindlessly spamming 1 button... But wow. The 5x multiplier strikes me as way over the top.
Shield BlockWe could make Shield Block cost rage
I'm guessing he means cost ludicruous speed amounts of rage?
Outside the increase to initial vengence, I don't see anything here that would actually appeal to a tank looking for a challenge. It certainly has appeal to bad tanks... but as was mentioned above, this becomes a bigger band-aid instead of learning to play.
Except of course if they make rage dependent on landing attacks instead of damage done. In which case I can see all those 'bad' tanks getting even worse.... Or everyone rolls pally with the built in Expertise.
Overall... I think good tanks will adapt to any change. Bad tanks will still be bad, because instead of making it easier (if it's more than just the 3x to 5x +larger initial vengence) there will still be as much (or more) room to fail (if rage becomes RNG for tanks, and survability tools like SB become more rage intensive...).
So it's an entirely 'flavor' change methinks. And I'm not enjoying the first taste.

Doesn't vengence take 10 seconds to fall off? Or is it a 10%/s decay? I've never understood how vengence decays.

wait till 85 honestly. no point in farming old gear that you will replace within a day of questing...
This is my first toon that I level up this high. Sitting at 70 right now just got my d3 set so I can join pugs and try to get my t6 set. Is it worth doing all that or should I just wait till 85 to start farming gear?
wait till 85 honestly. no point in farming old gear that you will replace within a day of questing...
|Ex Tank|
Wait until 85. I'd suggest as soon as you hit 80 start questing in Hyjal, the greens you get will surpass anything you picked up in WoLK. Do the Hyjal quest lines to open the 4 Ancients or Keeper, whatever they're call (Malrone, Tortolla, Avinia and the wolf one) since you'll need those for the Molten Front dailies when you hit 85. After you open the Ancients mess around in Vash'jr just to see it if you want.
Normally I will do hyjal up to the blessing of the forest to make sure I unlock hyjal dailies at 85. Go to vash'ir and do the starter quests to unlock the seahorse mount. Go to deepholm and do at least enough to unlock the therazane tabard, but normally I do the whole zone to get revered with therazane. By then your normally 84 so go straight to twilight highlands and finish out to 85... if your not 84 do just enough quests to get 84 then go straight to twilight highlands. You will need the quest gear from twilight to help unlock heroic ques at 85.
Nice appreciate all the help. Issnt mt hyjal (sp?) A raid? Did the quest line in cot just to get the legs and have the quest for mt hyjal. Also as soon as hitting 85 what places should I focus on gaining rep ands what places should I avoid?
Check out either gear websites like wowhead or get the addon atlasloot. Look in there for gear obtained by rep. You will want therezane in deepholm for shoulder enchants, you will need to find which faction has the best arcanum (head enchant) for you and any strong gear for your class.
"he doens't need healing, he doesn't need healing, he doesn't nee-WHAOSHIT!wtf was that man!". Please stop leaning on TDR. -Teng
There was a raid in Burning Crusade called "Battle for Mt. Hyjal"; but in Cataclysm there is a new zone called Hyjal which you quest in at 80; as was said you need to get a least as far as opening the 4 Ancients so that when you hit 85 you can do the Molten Front dailies. If you don't do Hyjal now, you'll just have to go back at 85 to open Molten Front, if you want the dailies and some 365 gear.
If this is the first toon you're going to take to 85, you should understand that a lot of the advice you'll get here is from people who have multiple (I have 7) 85s and who's goal is to get to 85 as quickly, efficiently and effortlessly as possible. You, on the other hand, may want to experience the content. (Yes some people do like the journey to 85).
Personally, with the first few of toons I took to 85 in Cata I made a point to complete at least one zone. So I have one that completed Vash'jr which IMHO is the prettiest zone if not a little annoying for moving and fighting. Hyjal, is a pretty cool storyline when you take it to completion. Uldum's storyline is okay, but it has some fun quests (come on who doesn't want to burn 1000 gnomes) and the Harrison Jones quest line is fun. Deepholm, you'll need to finish, to get to within a hair of Revered to get the shoulder enchants. Twilight Highlands has a pretty good battle between Deathwing and Alexstrasza if you follow the quest lines out long enough.
When you 85, if you follow out enough quest lines and do some dungeons you should have a pretty good amount of 318 - 333 gear. Try to do some random dungeons while you push up to 85 to get some Justice Points. I seem to recall leaving WoLK with a few hundred Justice Points from randoms; you'll want the JP to buy gear at 85.
The other good thing about questing on your fist toon, is from 80-85 you can make a few thousand gold; always nice to have some gold around when you ding.
Good luck.
Definitely do the t6 stuff if you like the appearance of the tier sets. Transmogrification will allow you to make your shiny new level 85 gear look like the awesome wares of yesterday. However, if that's not your cup of tea definitely burn through to level 80 and immediately start Hyjal. Once you have the ancients aided (Opens Molten Front) more to Vashj'r for Earthen Ring rep, then Deepholm, Uldum, and Twilight Highlands. I'm actually thinking about completing every cataclysm zone on my hunter just for rep and coin.. and to say I did that. LOL
Yea pretty much ran through wotlk in a 2 weeks as soon as I hit 80 just bought some gear and can do wotlk heroics pretty easily as far normal cata dungeons go would I be good to run them with the gear I have now? I stopped my xp just so I could get my mount -_- as soon as I get exalted with wym. Im inning on going through cata content and picking up a lot of the stuff on the pre heroic list a lot of stuff I saw is available through jp and valor so im planning on picking that up until I can get good enough gear through running cata heroics/easier raids.
Cata normal dungeons are pretty lol easy even while you're leveling, and the quests in the dungeons give some nice 318 - 333 gear. Stonecore is a bit a of a pain, but you shouldn't be able to burn through it on normal. Seriously, don't waste your JP on pre-85 gear, it's just not worth it, unless you're going to be over 4000 JP when you hit 85. You'll find that within about 5 quests in Hjyal you're replacing all the gear you got at 80.
The best you'll probably do in WoLK heroic is ilvl 200 gear (unless you're doing ToCh and the three ICC dungeons) and the quest gear and green drops in Hyjal are ilvl 305 I seem to recall and the quest blues are 318. Do the WoLK heroics if you just want to see them and experience what the rest of us did for 18 long, long, long, long months; but don't really do them for gear.
What class are you leveling?
I wouldn't stop xp for anything, but then, I prefer to get 85 as fast as possible. The mount will come. Your level when you get it really doesn't matter. Even if you farm all the wotlk heroics, you will need some cata greens to run cata regs because of the item level requirements. As I recall, only my toons with wotlk raid gear were able to go straight to cata reg dungeons.
"he doens't need healing, he doesn't need healing, he doesn't nee-WHAOSHIT!wtf was that man!". Please stop leaning on TDR. -Teng
The absolutely best items from heroic 25 man raiding in wrath were replaced by level 83, 84 at the very latest. Hit the quests
Yea just started back up yest I hit exalted in a day just running heroics and dailies. Leveling a pally I know gear will get better as I go. I ran one cata dg ands made it through without dying. Should I start vaj. Or go through hyjal? Looked through some guides saying vaj was the first stop.
I would say Hyjal just because as a melee dps or tank you get a cape and a belt form rep. Also the question line is amazing, and I really enjoyed it on all my toons... Also the quest line takes you up to revered.. Which is nice.
I'm opinion is highly biased... I hate vaj with a burning passion.

[Today 06:48 PM] Ion:swimming in a natural body of water ISN'T acceptable...it's momentarily tolerable
Yea I despise swimming lol I can already tell im going to dislike it. Really appreciate all the help making this process so much easier!
The story line (that I have seen so far.. I'm only like 50 quests in is pretty cool. All the high elf stuff is fun, and the twilight hammer in the giant crap things) is cool. And it is very cinematic, just.... Its massive, and I want the achievement to get me closer to lore master but it's reset every time I've faction changed grrr.
[Today 06:48 PM] Ion:swimming in a natural body of water ISN'T acceptable...it's momentarily tolerable
Take a look at previous posts, do Hyjal first to at least open the 4 Ancients, you need to get that far to do the Molten Front dailies when you hit 85. Vash'jr is very pretty and you should do it to the point of at least getting the mount. That said, I did complete it on at least one toon and the submarine you get to ride in later in the quest lines is really cool.
ANYWAY, definitely Hyjal until you've aided the ancients. Vashj'r until friendly rep with Earthen Ring. This should move you to Deepholm. Do that. All of it. Uldum to friendly/lvl 84, whichever comes SECOND. Then Twighlight Highlands. This will give you access to all the rep tabards, but I'll let you do the scouting for gear. Just remember Therazane has all the shoulder enchants this time around. By the time you're finished rep grinding, we'll all be pandas. Meh.
I'm way better at holding my liquor than a panda.

Movement 1: Kyrie
Movement 2: Gloria
Westminster Cathedral Choir, Martin Baker (conductor), Robert Quinney (organ), Robert Houssart (organ)
Movement 3: Credo
Movement 4: Sanctus & Benedictus
Westminster Cathedral Choir, Martin Baker (conductor), Robert Quinney (organ), Robert Houssart (organ)
Movement 5: Agnus Dei
The Kyrie opens with variants of the chant sung in canon, building from the treble line through middle voices to the bass line below. As so often in Maxwell Davies, it is the chant itself which dictates the harmonies, lending a distinct and characteristic modal feel to the slowly emerging contrapuntal lines, while maintaining linear clarity. The movement builds impressively to eight parts, climaxing gloriously before the soft envoi of the penultimate Kyrie, in which Davies's trademark interval of a diminished fifth (also evident in the boys' opening sequence), plus the pitting against each other of apparently conflicting major/minor roots, both form prominent features, before the final diatonic resolution – though even this is not without a question mark, being poised unexpectedly over not the root, but the third in the bass line, which lends rich added resonance.
By the start of the Gloria the plainsong has acquired an almost cheekily joyous 'major' demeanour: the second organ adds its own elaborate coloratura comments, with the unvarnished plainsong audible in the pedal. 'Et in terra pax' is slow-unfolding, the organ inserting a slow chordal meditation before the joyously asseverative 'Laudamus te'; whereas the fast-moving canon 'propter magnam gloriam tuam' has the energized feel of voices chattering, as if the singers were indeed, like Jesus's Disciples, infused with many tongues.
Davies is not averse to employing the tested techniques of his predecessors – presenting a theme in its upside down ('inverted') or reversed ('retrograde') form, compressing or expanding its intervals, or analysing, fragmenting and re-ordering it so that it appears in a fresh guise. Even the most elusive harmonies draw their strength from the embedded plainsong, with materials more often heard as linear sometimes compressed into chordal form.
After a further dramatic, toccata-like organ intervention, the 'Domine Deus' is led in by the men canonically, the textures opening out into six-part, and latterly full eight-part, harmony, until the cascading appeals to Christ himself ('Domine Fili unigenite') lead to an exciting climax ushering in a strange, unnerving diminuendo. This is the invocation of the Holy Spirit, graphically expressed, with the second organ again adding elaborate, almost violent gestures, like licking tongues of fire, with the Veni Sancte Spiritus plainsong resurfacing in the pedals. By contrast, the 'Tu solus' is almost elusively serene, before a canonic 'Cum Sancto Spiritu' and unison, then harmonized, Amens.
Originally Maxwell Davies, like Britten before him, had planned a Missa brevis for Westminster Cathedral, with no setting of the Credo, but prior to the Mass's premiere on 19 May 2002 he was prevailed upon to furnish this assured unison setting of the Credo. The flowing, largely narrative plainsong assumes added intensity at certain key moments – Christ's Incarnation and Burial – the latter leading straight into the growing and glowing confidence of 'Et resurrexit'.
The Sanctus launches out with an unexpected, and uplifting, unison major seventh; here again, the apparent density of the textures (in fact there are just five voices) is remarkable, and this is sustained through the 'Pleni sunt caeli', in which a foretaste of the staccato organ passage that will open the Benedictus can be heard. The choir rises to a fever pitch at the words 'gloria' and 'Hosanna', before the organ dissolves the temperature and serenely embarks on an (even in this context) French-sounding ostinato-like figure – in fact the plainsong motto, picked out once more on the pedals.
In the Agnus Dei, the organ staccato has moved up to the treble, where it decorates the quasi-fugal entries. First tenors and basses, then the boys' and altos' lines are accorded prominence, while the lush harmonies of the final 'dona nobis pacem' seem all but a tribute to Messiaen, one of the composers Davies most admires (even though he has impishly satirized him elsewhere).

- Excellent AR-15 primer Review by Vince Morgillo
As usual Sweeney does an excellent job of teaching the ins and outs of the AR-15. This should be a first read for someone considering or just buying their first AR based rifle. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars if because of the editor. How the index could be so screwed up is beyond me. Any reader might as well rip the index page out, nothing on it is even close to the contents.
(Posted on 1/13/2011)
- Good book... poor editing Review by Mike
Overall a good book just like the rest of Sweeney's books. The only negative is the fact that the table of contents is completely screwed up. None of the page numbers match up with where the chapters actually start. I'm not sure how this made it past quality control.

There are times when Marjana's lust blazes up. This is one of them.
Just a fleeting thought crosses her mind. That's the spark. Her hands stray over her breasts. The fire is beginning to catch hold. It's a strange fire that makes her moist and wet. Pouring oil on it makes her burn with desire even more. A little beating at her pussy just fans the flames. So does going at it from behind. Maybe opening her legs will do it?
The only thing she can think of is getting her desire quenched.
