HUE is a WINNER!!!
Bought a starter kit plus 3 individual bulbs today. Took 10 minutes to set up. I had to convince the "geniuses" at the local Apple Bought a starter kit plus 3 individual bulbs today. Took 10 minutes to set up. I had to convince the "geniuses" at the local Apple Store that HUE really existed. They went online, discovered it did, went in the back room, found and sold them. No one had asked about them before I walked in.
They assured me I could return them in 14 days, so I decided to try them. Hue and the free App is amazing! Download your own pic. Touch it to turn on the lights. Group anyway you want, dim independently, color control independently.
If you turn off the wall switch, the bulbs forget where they were. Turn the switch back on, and the bulbs turn on to default approx. 3000 degrees K. Then touch any mood you set up on the iPhone, and it instantly changes colors & intensity.
We have a 50's Diner designed kitchen with black / white tile, red wall tile, red neon accents, so touch the 50's Diner photo, and 4 bulbs come on, 2 red and 2 whatever temp white you choose. Halloween? Orange no problem. Christmas? Red and Green.
1-A must if you are really into home automation, home theatre, etc.
2-Extremely high quality feel bulb design
3-Bulbs run barely warm and draw 8.5 watts max
4-Super easy to use
5-No need to use your iPhone. Set the onboard timer function for on / off. Gives that lived in look, and no need to turn on / off every time.
6-Full dimming capability
7-Default to Warm White (looks like 3000 degree K) if power fails and comes back on
8-No high frequency sound, no flicker, no RFI interference
9-Instantly group able and groups can be changed instantly
10-Philips is a leader in LED technology. I have over 100 Philips LED bulbs in service for over a year, with no failures. yet, Lights of America and other off brands have failed 100% in a year! The electronics fail, not the LED's themselves in the off brands.
11-Touch a pic of the room to turn the lights on.
12-Set a different background pic for every page of moods.
13-Set a page up for every room. This groups the bulbs to a scene in that room by choosing the specific page on the iPhone.
2-Only medium Base available today. I need Candelabra base and need R30
3-600 Lumen output is a little low but is OK
These bulbs are NOT going back!!! Wife loves them, as do I. 'Nuff said!!! …

Great Concept, Terrible Software, Very Erratic Operation
Great concept and beautiful - when it works - which is unfortunately quite rare. The lamps themselves are fine, but the bridge tha Great concept and beautiful - when it works - which is unfortunately quite rare. The lamps themselves are fine, but the bridge that controls them is very erratic and more often than not loses contact with the lamps. Thus you can't control the lamps or even turn them on remotely. Once the bridge is lost, the lamps become useless. Technical support is very nice but not especially effective in solving ongoing problems. They admit that the TAP control generally does not work and that they are frustrated waiting for software updates that will solve the many problems with the system. My system has stopped working entirely and tech support can't suggest anything further until a software update occurs and there is no schedule to do that. I have given up on hue and suggest that prospective purchasers wait until the system is perfected. …

If I had only purchased HUE first (and not wasted $ on Lifx)
I am very pleased with my Hue starter kit. My only regret is that I wasted a ton of money purchasing Lifx bulbs prior to purchasin I am very pleased with my Hue starter kit. My only regret is that I wasted a ton of money purchasing Lifx bulbs prior to purchasing a Hue starter pack. Hue is everything that Lifx promised to be and unfortunately, Lifx failed to deliver! I use one Hue bulb on the porch, and have an "alarm" set for the bulb to turn on around dusk and turn off at dawn. In addition, I have the other two bulbs in my living room, which we use on a variety of settings depending on the activity (e.g., Relaxation mode, dimmed for movie night, reading mode, etc). I have the bulbs set up so that if it is after dark and the bulbs are not already on, they detect my arrival within the neighborhood and turn on the lights at home. With regard to setup, I had no difficulty setting up the bulbs and so far (after several months of use) I have not had any issues. In the future, I will purchase bulbs for other parts of the house as well. Thank you Hue! …

- Ethnobotanik (1) (remove)
- AFRICAN TRADITIONAL PLANT KNOWLEDGE TODAY: An ethnobotanical study of the Digo at the Kenya Coast (2005)
- The Digo are farmers and fishermen living in the coastal belt stretching from Mombasa in Kenya to Tanga in Tanzania. They settled there in the 16th Century or earlier, and their original settlements were forest villages, kaya. During the kaya life, wild plants were important to them for most basic needs, hence they accumulated a traditional plant knowledge. In the 19th Century they moved out of the kaya, but the forests were protected as sacred sites, and this preserved the traditional plant knowledge. On the other hand, modern scientific botany was introduced to the Digo through teaching in schools and as modern agriculture to farmers, creating two types of plant knowledge with little overlap. Although Digo history indicates intimacy with their plant world, in this technologically advanced era traditional knowledge systems are threatened of being lost. It was on this premise that the study was established, aimed at 'documenting the traditional Digo plant knowledge, and examining the global influence on it'. Information was collected with formal and informal interviews with both the traditional Digo plant users (herbalists, farmers, and carpenters), and 'modernists' (pupils, students, and teachers). In summary, Digo plant knowledge has a considerable verbal component, minimal description and no conception of internal plant processes. The knowledge is voluntarily incomplete, with a conscious ignorance of some areas of plant life. Also the knowledge is mainly value oriented, and confined to the known, with the objective of addressing realities of social life. Globalisation will affect the plant lexicon and description, but less so the application of traditional materials. The subject areas of the thesis: Digo plant lexicon and description Digo plant knowledge has a considerable verbal component, with limited description and no conception of internal plant processes. And there are non-verbalised areas and under-labelled elements of plants and plant life. Clearly there is intentional selectivity of what to label and describe, meaning the Digo are not striving for completeness of plant knowledge. The incentive for labelling and description is predominantly value oriented, as commonly used plants and plant parts are labelled in detail. Some Digo plant names have a prefix borrowed from 'female' human names, meaning the species are perceived as 'female'. 'Unmarked' Digo plant names refer to them in 'female' status, as in reference to 'male' plants the name is always marked with the term mlume [male]. Semantic analysis of the interpretable plant names indicates that Digo plant naming is guided by several unwritten principles. Digo plant identification methods Digo plant identification is characterised by familiarity and little verbal descriptions. Experienced plant collectors identify plants using 'fixed images' in their memory, without rigorous procedures. 'Procedural' identifications are used by less experienced collectors, for doubted identifications or in new environments. In procedural identification different plant user groups focus on the part 'useful' to them, creating a variety of approaches in identification of the same species. Digo folk taxonomy Digo folk taxonomy is shallow. It does not correspond to comprehensive folk taxonomies reported by most other ethnographers. In Digo there is no term for 'unique beginner', thus 'plant kingdom' is not a recognised rank. Recognised ranks are life-forms and folk species, with occasional presence of folk generics and folk varietals. Plant life-forms are recognised on the basis of discontinuity of kinds, which is consistent with rationalism theory, but lower taxonomic ranks are constructed on basis of utility value, which agrees with utilitarian view. The Digo folk taxonomy, therefore, is an intermediate kind of knowledge. Digo perception of internal plant processes The perception of plants as being 'female' is twined with an understanding that male plants are irrelevant in plant reproduction and propagation, hence associated processes (pollination and fertilization) are not perceived; neither are other scientific concepts e.g. photosynthesis and transpiration. At a community level, it is not obligatory for the Digo to understand details in plant processes, which contrasts labelling and descriptions of plants. Digo farming practices Digo farmers have a knowledge built by experience, hence a stabilized understanding of correlations between different components such as demand of crop plants, performance of soils, diseases and pest menace. A Digo farmer recognizes and classifies soils in relation to crop production. Although some old farming practices have been dropped due to various socio-political changes, the Digo farmers maintain to a considerable degree traditional practices, magico-religious practices and preference of local crop varieties. The future of Digo plant knowledge The Digo plant knowledge reacts to global influence in a multitude of ways, depending on the risk of material loss. In plant lexicon and description, where there is no risk of material loss, change is acceptable. Thus school-mediated plant knowledge complements Digo lexicon and description, sometimes only temporarily. On the other hand, in plant description the role of primary Digo colour terms is fading off. National and global support has changed the Digo healing only in the tools i.e., in hygiene, processing and dosage of medicinal plants, but not in content, as traditional cures are still the main phytotherapical substances. Digo farmers however, resist modern agriculture, partly due to the economic implications. The continued lack of material support to the farmers strengthens the future of traditional farming practices.

Feb 2 - The Independent Bankers Association of Texas recently hosted more than 200 bankers and 80 exhibiting companies at the Omni Fort Worth Hotel to seek and provide answers to the most pressing technology needs facing community banks today. Below is a recap of trends, key learnings and other hot topics discussed at this two-day, technology-focused event attended by industry leaders from Texas and beyond.
What are the most pressing technology needs facing community banks?
Without a doubt, technology has played a major role in the evolution of the banking industry over the last several decades. Bankers have, for the most part, responded well to these changes. However, it seems the most recent years have seen a fast-forwarding of technological impact, and many community bankers now feel like they are scrambling to keep up.
Branch transformation, remote deposit capture, mobile banking and personal financial management are just a few of the 900-pound gorillas that community banks are considering in their efforts to reach the next generation of bank customers. All the while, compressed margins and increasing compliance costs are limiting the amount of money that bank boards are willing to commit to new technology solutions, which often fail to produce the desired return on investment.
Is this a perfect storm for community banks?
The opening general session of TechMecca 2013 tackled this question head on. Joe Calloway, author of Becoming a Category of One and the upcoming Be the Best at What Matters Most maintains that the future is not so bleak for community banks as long as they do not forget the core value proposition of community banking. All of the technology in the world will not make your bank the best at customer service, Calloway said. Technology is the icing on the cake of an organization, its not the most important way for you to show your customers that you care and are available to serve them.
Jim Van Dyke, founder and president of Javelin Strategy and Research provided insight into consumer attitudes toward new technology channels. Forty percent of customers surveyed between 2009 and 2012 dont see the value in mobile banking, Van Dyke said. Even more customers (44 percent) have concerns about the security of mobile banking that will keep them from embracing mobile devices to do their banking.
Van Dyke also pointed out that members of Generation Y (currently 1834 years old) are more likely to prefer visiting a bank branch to monitor their primary accounts than other segment of consumers. Twenty-five percent of older Gen Y members (2534 years old) prefer this method, nearly double the average (14 percent) of all other consumer demographics.
That is good news for community banks in the short term, but not a guarantee that they will not have to expand customer interaction channels in the future. While these statistics are bound to change over time, they support the claim that, currently, technology bells and whistles in the banking relationship are still a nice to have convenience, not a must have for most consumers.
Is there a universal answer?
If there is a single conclusion to be taken away from TechMecca 2013, it is that the waters of financial services are getting murkier every day. Old players like the megabanks and payments processors are looking to expand their footprints, while big data companies like Google are aggressively pursuing the holy grail of consumer financial data.
For now, community banks have one major advantage consumer trust. Primary banks are still seen as having the highest level of trust for the protection of consumer data, far outpacing the non-financial institution companies like Amazon, Google and telecom companies, all of which have flirted with taking a larger role in our financial lives.
Big data has big plans for financial services but its important for community banks to remember that, as the owners and trusted protectors of their customers data, they hold the cards, Chris Williston, IBAT president and CEO, said. Its most essential that community banks gauge their technological expansions on meeting customer needs, not keeping up with the most cutting-edge innovations in the marketplace.

2012 Jeep Wrangler and Liberty Arctic Editions chill out in sunny SoCal
by Steven J. Ewing (RSS feed) on Nov 17th, 2011 at 3:29PM
Jeep may not have anything big to show us here in Los Angeles, but that doesn't mean the automaker has arrived empty-handed. New for 2012, Jeep has released special Arctic Editions of both the Wrangler and Liberty SUVs, and the icy duo make their debut here at the LA Auto Show. On both models, the Arctic package adds semi-gloss wheels – the Wrangler receiving 17-inch rollers while the Liberty makes due with 16s – as well as special paint, Arctic badging and a decidedly tacky Yeti footprint decal. Inside, there are some minor aesthetic tweaks, including white accent fabrics,... Read More

The radical new SpeedBead System handles many of the factors that make wingshooters miss, and turns poor shooters into good shooters and good shooters into great ones.
Shooting instructors emphasize the importance of proper stock-to-shoulder fit and mounting the shotgun into exactly the same position every shot. Maintaining proper form on the trap range is one thing. Maintaining it in the real world of flushing pheasants, quail, grouse, and fast-flying waterfowl is another.
With the SpeedBead System, both the target and the red dot remain in focus. The optics and their position on the sight plane eliminate the need for perfect left/right, up/down head position for an accurate shot.
The innovative mount puts the center of the optic directly in line with the ventilated rib, so altering your shooting style is not necessary. And with 3-1/2 inches to 4-1/2 inches of eye relief, there is absolutely no worry about your eyebrow running into the sight nor any interference with your hand gripping the shotgun. Should the common CR-2032 five year battery ever fail, you can revert to your front bead without visual obstruction.
For a better view on rising targets, there are 1/8" and 1/4" risers available.

Look Who Just Raised The Bar In The Compact Entry-Level Luxury Segment We first slid behind the wheel of the Buick Verano, the American automaker's entrant in the $25,000 compact luxury segment, one year ago in the gorgeous Pacific Northwest. After motoring through scenic Oregon, we boarded our flight back home quite impressed with the small four-door. In our First Drive review, we mentioned that the General Motors offering had "exceeded our expectations" and that its combination of features and appointments "made a compelling argument for itself." Our one gripe, however, was aimed at the... Read More

When the storm blows up on the planet, why don't Janeway and Chakotay just go hide out in the shuttle? Those things are pretty strong, and I imagine you could put the shields up and be even safer. For that matter you could just take off and fly somewhere sunny till things blow over.

|Chakotay : "I can tell you a story, an ancient legend among my people. It's about an angry warrior who lived his life in conflict with the rest of his tribe. A man who couldn't find peace, even with the help of his spirit guide. For years he struggled with his discontent. The only satisfaction he ever got came when he was in battle. That made him a hero among his tribe, but the warrior still longed for peace within himself. One day, he and his war party were captured by a neighbouring tribe led by a woman warrior. She called on him to join her tribe because her tribe was too small and weak to defend itself from all its enemies. The woman warrior was brave and beautiful and very wise. The angry warrior swore to himself that he would stay by her side, doing whatever he could to make her burden lighter. From that point on, her needs would come first. And in that way, the warrior began to know the true meaning of peace."
Janeway : "Is that really an ancient legend?"
Chakotay : "No. But that made it easier to say."
Janeway and Chakotay, having contracted a deadly disease which will kill them if they leave the surface on an alien planet, are left behind by Voyager. But while they decide just how close their relationship should be, Harry Kim leads a mutiny against Captain Tuvok - and gets away with it.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - It is quiet on the University of Virginia campus.
The only noise at the school is from construction crews doing renovation work on the Rotunda, designed by Thomas Jefferson.
But the scene will be very different on Tuesday afternoon when the Board of Visitors, under sharp criticism from the campus community, will meet again to reconsider the removal of President Teresa Sullivan from her job.
After Sullivan's departure was announced, the University of Virginia community rallied against it, demanding to know why the abrupt decision was made without public explanation.
The faculty hopes the board will reinstate the ousted president, whose departure spurred "complete surprise, complete shock" in the Charlottesville campus, the chairman of the Faculty Senate tells WTOP.
Chairman George Cohen believes there may be enough support for the board vote on Tuesday, ordered by Gov. Bob McDonnell, to return Sullivan to the president's office and continue her work addressing the university's issues.
Student and faculty leaders have encouraged people to show up near the school's rotunda, the site of the meeting, to show their support for Sullivan.
The mood on campus appears to be mixed.
Ed Wallen, an alumnus from 1999 visiting the campus with his wife and child, says the board's actions were justified.
"I think they did the right thing by deciding she wasn't being a strong leader and they need a strong leader in that position," Wallen says.
But Taylor Meyers, who's about to enter his fourth year at the university, is not happy with the way it was handled. He says he'd like to see Sullivan reinstated.
Some alumni, including Amro Naddy, a member of the Class of 2008 who was planning his wedding in a garden near the Rotunda, say they're worried about the school's reputation.
"It's our Jeffersonian culture, which is really at odds with this group of political appointees that has made this super majority decision behind closed doors," Naddy said.
McDonnell told the board to make a final decision at its 3 p.m. meeting Tuesday or he will remove them from the board.

What are the rules for using the Shawnee Library meeting rooms?
Shawnee Public Library Community Rooms Policy
Shawnee Public Library encourages the public use of community rooms as gathering places to exchange ideas, access and share information and participate in programs created for public enjoyment. The Library's community rooms are available for use by community organizations and individuals for educational, cultural, and civic purposes.
Because the Library's facilities are currently limited due to increasing demand and decreasing space, community rooms may no longer be scheduled for purely social purposes. This includes baby showers, bridal showers, birthday parties, family gatherings, weddings, and other social occasions. The meeting rooms may be used for business meetings or staff training but not for programs designed to promote the purchase of products or services.
No charge is made for use of the facilities, but use is subject to the following conditions:
No products or services may be bought or sold, unless the organization is affiliated with the library.
Priority is given to programs sponsored by the library.
Meetings must be free and open to the public.
Meetings may be held only during regular library hours, concluding by thirty minutes before the library closes.
Groups may reserve the library community rooms for one meeting at a time, up to three months in advance. Multiple meetings may be scheduled only at the discretion of the Branch Manager.
Light refreshments may be served in the community rooms. However, sponsoring groups are responsible for the disposal of all food and the deposit of refuse in the outside trash dumpster. Cleaning supplies are provided, and it is expected that groups will clean up any messes that occur.
Custodial staff is not available to set up or take down tables and chairs in the community rooms. Groups who use the community rooms are welcome to arrange the tables and chairs provided as needed for their meetings, but must put them away afterwards so that the meeting room is left clear for the next group. Failure to do so may result in the loss of community room privileges. It is strongly suggested that groups allow at least 15 minutes prior to and after the event starting time for setting up and taking down tables and chairs.
Members of the organization using the room are responsible for the condition of the facilities and equipment used.
Users are not permitted to attach items to walls, ceilings, public art, or divider panels.
Open flames are prohibited, including candles and tea lights.
Alcoholic beverages are prohibited.
The Community Room may be used as a single area, seating as many as 200 persons. A heavy, sound resistant panel may also divide the Community Room into two rooms. If divided, Community Room A (north) will seat 150 persons, and Community Room B (south) will seat 50 persons. When divided, Community Room A includes access to the kitchen facilities.
When the room is reserved, certain equipment may also be reserved in advance. Library staff should be consulted regarding equipment availability. Library staff cannot be responsible for instruction or operation of equipment. There is a small kitchen with sink, microwave, refrigerator, a 30-cup coffeemaker, a built-in screen from the ceiling in Community Room A, and a piano in Community Room B.
All community groups who wish to use the community room facilities of the Shawnee Public Library are required to complete a registration form. If the organization meets the criteria listed above, the group is eligible to request use of the library community rooms.
Each group must furnish the name and phone number of a contact person. This information is required in cases where: (1) the library needs to notify you of a change in schedule, or (2) the library receives public or media inquiries about your meeting. All requests for information about your meeting will be referred to the organization booking the community room.
Approved by the Shawnee Public Library Advisory Board

Illustration by Michael O'Brien
The most widespread, numerous, and geographically variable chickadee, this bird brightens winter days at bird feeders and eagerly takes advantage of nest boxes. It is curious, with little or no fear of humans, and it is famous for willingly, after a little "training," taking seeds and nuts from the hand. During fall postbreeding movements, its noisy little parties usually contain titmice, nuthatches, woodpeckers, and other species. The calls of a flock of black-cappeds in the fall often signal the presence of migrant warblers and vireos. Polytypic. Length 5.3" (13 cm).
Identification Black cap; white cheek; black bib; gray upperparts; greater coverts, secondaries, and tertials edged conspicuously white in fall and winter (less distinct in summer when the white fringes are worn off); sides and flanks buffy or pinkish when fresh, fading to pale buff by summer when worn; outer tail feathers edged prominently white.
Geographic Variation Three subspecies groups differ in several characters. A "northwestern" group is small and dark-backed, with narrow white wing edgings, and flanks heavily washed buffy tan. An "interior western" group is large and pale-backed, with broad white wing edgings, and pale buffy sides and flanks. An "eastern" group is variable, but its subspecies are generally intermediate between the other 2 groups in size, darkness of back, prominence of white wing edgings, and richness of buff wash on the flanks.
Similar Species Although the mountain chickadee is the black-capped's closest relative, the Carolina chickadee likely will cause the most trouble, especially in late spring and summer when the black-capped's white wing edgings are worn. Where their ranges overlap, the 2 species resemble each other and they also hybridize, intergrading characters. Otherwise, the combination of bright white cheek, especially in fresh plumage, pure black cap and bib, gray upperparts, bright wing edgings, and pinkish sides and flanks should distinguish the black-capped from other species.
Voice Call: chick-a-dee-dee-dee, lower and slower than Carolina. Song: a clear, whistled 2-noted fee-bee or 3-noted fee-bee-ee, the first note higher in pitch. In the Pacific Northwest some birds sing fee-fee-fee with no change in pitch.
Status and Distribution Common. Year-round: deciduous and mixed woodlands, clearings, suburbs, and urban parks. Occurs in the Appalachians at higher elevations than the Carolina. Fall & winter: makes irregular irruptions south, usually not far into the Carolina's range, but casually to southeastern Missouri, eastern Kentucky, eastern Virginia, Maryland, more exceptionally as far south as Arizona, Oklahoma, and Texas.
Population Stable or increasing in nearly all regions, though its range may be contracting in areas where the Carolina is expanding.

Jurlique Customer ReviewsNice setting powder - 11/26/2014 12:00:57 AM It smells nice calms my skin and makes my skin feel soft. It doesn't control oil in my t zone and much as I would like but still a nice product.It's ok - 11/25/2014 11:57:09 PM I love the smell of jurlique rose products. The lotions are my favorite. This was nice but there is a strange after sent to it you smell the rose first then some kind of chemical or whatever base it is in. It's not awful and I would recommend for somone else to try it because they may not smell the after sent like I do.It helped my acne - 11/25/2014 11:49:05 PM When I was using this I hardly had a break out. It calmed my skin down a lot. Very nice product I will buy again.great - 11/25/2014 11:46:27 PM After I wash my face i use this and it instantly brightens my face. Love the smell great productLove this lotion - 11/25/2014 11:43:27 PM My skin is extremely soft when I use this lotion its like silk. The consistency of the lotion is a bit watery but I don't mind it it soaks into my skin fast and hydrates for a long time. My boyfriend loves the smell and he can't keep his hands off me because it makes my skin so soft. The Rose body wash is great too. I wish it was a bit cheaper I can't afford to use it all the time.Rose-Scented Alcohol Rub - 11/15/2014 9:34:29 AM First, the positives: this is the best scent I have ever smelled in a rose lotion. I have tried many: L'Occitane, Ren Moroccan Rose Otto, Crabtree and Evelyn, Diptyque, Jo Malone... I love the lightweight property of this lotion, and how it absorbed well. But later my skin was tight and dry, and my cuticles began to crack as I used it more frequently. It turns out that SD Alcohol 40 is listed as the 5th ingredient! I believe that it adds to the "perfume sillage" of the lotion, but this type of alcohol should never be used frequently on skin; it causes inflammation and disrupts the skin's natural barrier. Not recommended.Love this serum - 10/13/2014 7:49:53 PM Amazing scent and lightweight, great for a dehydrated skin, will buy again.Adore this one! - 8/7/2014 9:01:15 AM Smells amazing, delicate floral, slightly rose fragrance. Great for all skin types. Perfect if you want a foaming cleanser that doesn't strip the skin. A little goes a long way. This lasts me about 8 months or so, brilliant value.best cleanser ever! - 4/29/2014 10:33:09 AM I have tried many natural facial cleansers, even the other ones by Jurlique, my favorite brand, and this one is the best! I would have preferred a pump version , but this was easy to use--only a small amount needed to cleanse your face of the day's make-up with a pleasant rose fragrance. A small tube lasted a long time. It works well, I felt like I was treating myself every time I used it, smelled great--a great purchase! So happy to have found this one.thick, heavy cream - 4/29/2014 10:11:46 AM This cream is extremely thick and heavy--if I use it daily I actually break out a little (at age 51!). It can only be used before bed because it leaves the skin greasy looking. I'll probably save this for the winter, when my skin gets very dry, but it won't be my daily moisturizer.

I've been on lots of weight loss diets. There are some things they all have in common. One thing they all advise is that when you reach a goal you should reward yourself, but not with a chocolate cake. In other words, don't undo all the good work you've just done, and more important, don't reinforce bad habits by equating food with all things good.
The next time you reach a gold goal, big or small, consider treating yourself with a trip to the Blizzard Store.
If you are anything like me you avoid overspending real life money on WoW. It feels a little like cheating to buy all those mounts and pets with real money instead of farming them in-game. But the advantage of buying something in the store as opposed to splurging on the auction house is that you don't deplete your hard earned gold doing it. And linking the purchase to reaching a gold goal does tie the purchase to the hard work you've put in inside the game.
If you've never used the Blizzard Store, don't be afraid, it's really well implemented and easy to use. You can buy mounts for around $25 US and pets for $10 US. There are plenty of other items and accessories as well as Diablo and Starcraft items if you are interested in those. Have a budget going in, stick to it, and then enjoy your success having fun with your new item. You've earned it!
