Sport Clubs
Originally established over 30 years ago with a limited number of clubs, the Ithaca College Sport Club program has undergone a significant expansion since that time and currently consists of 38 clubs in the categories of competitive, instructional, performance and recreational sports.
Placed under the guidance of the Office of Recreational Sports in fall 2001, the sport club program is currently based out of the Ithaca College Fitness Center and continues to expand at a rapid rate as clubs are added as interest for them increases.
Voluntarily organized by students, sport clubs exist for the purpose of furthering a common interest in a physical activity through competition, instruction, participation, or performance. Students elect their own officers, draft their own constitution, request facility space, get approval for and make travel arrangements, schedule contests with other teams, develop contracts with officials and artists, fund raise and manage their budget.

Putting in more laps on Thursday than Red Bull had covered over the previous five days of testing, Sebastian Vettel says he is encouraged.
The four-time World Champion was in action at the Sakhir circuit for the second day running and managed 59 laps.
That was a marked improvement on the RB10's previous running as in Jerez Red Bull managed just 21 laps over four days before Vettel added another 14 laps on Day One at Bahrain.
"Definitely a better day today," he said. "We did more laps, so that's encouraging.
"It's good to check the car, check the reliability, but obviously there is a lot still to do.
"It was good to get a proper first feel for the car and it feels OK but there's a lot more to come."
Vettel, though, was sorely lagging behind his rivals when it came to pace.
While Kevin Magnussen topped the timesheets with a 1:34.910, Vettel finished in seventh place, 5.430s down and even behind the Caterham of Kamui Kobayashi.
"It's difficult to talk about catching up [to rivals] because I don't know what other people are doing, but we did more laps than we have done so far and that's the big thing.
"We're learning every single lap, even if the quality of the lap is sometimes not the best. However, the most important thing is to run and we did that.
"The last two days have been very useful. I hope Daniel can get some more good laps in tomorrow."

no, you don't understand the intention behind it.
According to the data on elitistjerks, UW is an PPM15, which is a 85% chance per hit with a 3.4 spd weapon, to give you 1 rage.
commanding presence grants 137 additional ap, which will be around 0.3 rage per hit.
So you'll get 15 rage per minute through UW, or 5.3 rage through commanding presence, but the 137 ap also influence all other attacks, so that they grant a much bigger increase to your total damage output, as UW.
(As a little, not 100% correct example, with UW you get 3 slams in 3 minutes, with commanding presence you get 1 in 3 minutes, so you have around 5400 damage versus 1803.4 damage. But now there's also the additional damage from the 137 ap in every other attack you deal. And thats even if you only use BT & WW around 25 dps, while the two additional slams only grant around 20 dps.)
So imho commanding presence ist (much) better than UW, in every situation, in which you haven't imp. BoM or another warrior with commanding presence with you, because even with real low gear, you'll mostly get a increase out of commanding presence. (And, if you are in a 5man heroic/10man raid, you'll be loved from your group, because your buffs are better )

An off-duty police officer who survived the tragedy in Webster is now telling his story. He says despite taking action to save lives, he is not the true hero.
"I am no different than anybody standing in this room. I'm driving to work."
It's the route Greece Police Officer John Ritter takes every morning: Lake Road across Irondequoit Bay, headed for Greece.
"I left my house at approximately 5:35 in the morning."
This morning was different. John came up behind two firetrucks on Lake Road. Then:
"I started hearing popping noises."
The scene on Lake Road is mobbed with mourners now, but on Christmas Eve it was dark and clear. It's where John Ritter sat when he noticed two firetrucks to the south side of the road, stopped. Then from the north side, a gunshot rang out.
It struck John's windshield right in front of him, obstructing his view. He didn't know if he was hurt, and as he started to check his body for injuries, more gunshots rang out.
John realized he was likely in the middle of some sort of gun battle. He was not armed. Then's when he backed up, away from the scene.
"I backed up, a safe distance."
What he did next has John Ritter being called, "a hero."
"I backed my vehicle, I limped it up to the intersection of Lake Road. There were people coming and I was trying to keep them from going down into that area."
But in John Ritter's mind, he's not a hero at all.
"I don't know why I'm still here, other than there was some type of divine intervention that kept that round from penetrating through my car and hitting something else. So I don't... the true story is about four heroes that were wounded, or killed."

AP Television Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- NBC on Wednesday announced its long-rumored switch in late night, replacing Jay Leno at the "Tonight" show with Jimmy Fallon and moving the iconic franchise back to New York.
Fallon will take over in about a year, the switch coinciding with NBC's coverage of the 2014 Winter Olympics. Veteran "Saturday Night Live" producer Lorne Michaels also will take over as executive producer of "Tonight."
NBC made no announcement on who would replace Fallon at the 12:35 a.m. "Late Night" slot, although Seth Meyers of "Saturday Night Live" is considered a strong candidate.
The change at "Tonight," the longest-running and most popular late-night talk show, had been widely reported but not confirmed by the network until Wednesday. NBC reportedly just wrapped up negotiations with Fallon on a contract extension.
Steve Burke, chief executive officer of NBC Universal, said the network is purposefully making the move when Leno is still at the top of the ratings, just as when Leno replaced Johnny Carson at "Tonight" in 1992.
"Jimmy Fallon is a unique talent, and this is his time," Burke said.
Leno, in a statement, offered his congratulations to Fallon.
"I hope you're as lucky as me and hold on to the job until you're the old guy," he said. "If you need me, I'll be at the garage."
Fallon said, "I'm really excited to host a show that starts today instead of tomorrow."
Emotions were mixed among people waiting outside Leno's Burbank, Calif., studio to attend the taping of Wednesday's "Tonight" show.
"We love you, Jimmy!" said Natalie Renfro, 45, of Salt Lake City. But she gave a shout out to Leno, too: "I'll miss that big chin!"
Ryan Kelly, 39, of Los Angeles, said he's a Leno fan but added that the comedian has "had a good run. ... It's probably time for a fresh face. He's done a good job and I'm sure he'll pop up on TV somewhere else."
As for switching to Fallon, "I'll give it a shot," Kelly said.
Leno couldn't resist a jab at NBC in his monologue Wednesday, even as he as he lauded Fallon as "a hell of a guy" who is going to do a "great job."
"I just have one request for Jimmy: We've all fought, kicked and scratched to get this network up to fifth place. Now we have to keep it there. Jimmy, don't let it slip into sixth!" Leno joked, according to an NBC transcript.
Fallon took a puckish approach in his monologue.
"Welcome! This is 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon ... for now," he said. "You guys probably heard the news: I'm going to be taking over the 'Tonight Show' next February! But don't worry. Until February, our focus is right here on whatever this show is called."
On his "Late Show" Wednesday on CBS, David Letterman feasted on NBC's announcement.
"Jay Leno now is being replaced, and this is the second time this has happened," he said in his monologue. "I mean, it's crazy. He's being replaced by a younger late night talk show host -- what could possibly go wrong? Honestly. They had pretty good luck with this in the past."
Later, Letterman offered a backhanded salute to Leno that wished him well with his stand-up appearances.
"But good luck to Jay. I know he'll be out on the road, getting it done and taking care of business. And congratulations on a nice long run there at the 'Tonight Show,' if, in fact, you're not coming back," Letterman said, according to a CBS transcript.
He devoted his Top 10 list to "things we'll miss about Jay Leno," including this at No. 4: "Can't remember the name of the bit, but it's the one where Jay is walking."
NBC has been quietly building a new studio for Fallon at its Rockefeller Center headquarters. "Tonight" began in New York in the 1950s, but Carson moved it to California in 1972. Starting next year, Fallon, Letterman, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert will tape late-night shows in New York. ABC's Jimmy Kimmel and TBS's Conan O'Brien will be the top California-based shows.
"The 'Tonight' show will bring even more jobs and economic activity to our city, and we couldn't be happier that one of New York's own is bringing the show back to where it started, and where it belongs," said New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
New York state recently added a tax credit in its budget that seemed designed specifically to benefit NBC's move east with "Tonight."

OTTAWA -- Fire officials say two people escaped injury after a small plane made an unexpected landing in an Ottawa field piled high with snow.
Ottawa Fire spokesman Marc Messier says the plane didn't suffer major damage when it landed in deep snow around 2 p.m. Saturday in a field (at Woodcroffe Avenue and Slack Road), just west of the Ottawa International Airport.
Messier says fire crews quickly reached the pilot and lone passenger and shut off fuel to the engine.
There's no details yet on what brought the plane down in what Messier says was a forced landing.

First Line Grabber #14
GENRE: Adult Cozy Mystery
Elsie stepped out of the airport shuttlebus and gazed around in horror.
52 comments:
- Milena said...
Nnnno. I love cozies, but this doesn't ring like one. If we were told what it was that Elsie gazed at in horror, and if that something was incogrous, or funny, then, yes. As it is, I'd need a killer second sentence to be grabbed.
- February 23, 2012 at 9:27 AM
It leaves me wondering what she could possible be seeing that would provoke horror.
- February 23, 2012 at 9:32 AM
- B.E. Sanderson said...
Yes, I'd want to know what's causing the horror - even if the sentence is a little unwieldy.
- February 23, 2012 at 9:43 AM
- Alice said...
No, every airport is horrible.
- February 23, 2012 at 9:50 AM
- Holly Bodger said...
Again, I'd like to say "Maybe" here but the "horror" was too much telling for me. You need to show her horror with a specific reaction. For example, "Elsie stepped out the airport shuttlebus and immediately wished she could get back on." I'm not saying that you should use this exactly but you need something that shows us her reaction and makes us wonder why she is having it.
- February 23, 2012 at 9:54 AM
- Tyson said...
"gazed around in horror" doesn't jive with me. Mostly because when I think 'gaze' I think dreamy, lovely, or blank stare. Gaped, gawked, stared in horror. Not gazed, it's too casual. Unless horror is the wrong word. I don't know. Just missed the mark for me.
- February 23, 2012 at 9:57 AM
No. I would have been more intrigued if what the horror was instead of her gaze. And agree that gaze is the wrong verb to relate to horror.
- February 23, 2012 at 9:59 AM
No, I want to see a better reaction from her. Something stronger to catch me and reel me in to see what this horror is.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:05 AM
- Rachel Menard said...
No. It just seems bland to me and lacking voice. I feel like "gazed around in horror" is an overrused action.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:06 AM
- Nicole said...
No. The addition of "in horror" really takes me out of it.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:07 AM
- Katherine Ernst said...
No. "gazed around in horror" seems trite. I agree that showing rather than telling here would help tremendously.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:19 AM
- Jessica Negron said...
I think if you removed the middle part of the sentence to make it "Elsie gazed around in horror." it would have been better.
Then I'd want to know what she's gazing at, where she is, what's happening.
But mentioning the airport shuttlebus sets up the scene, and I know right away that whatever she's horrified at can't been all that bad.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:20 AM
- Alessa Hinlo said...
No. It's a little too generic for me.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:26 AM
Close though, if something more descriptive than "horror" had been used. And shuttlebus isn't a word although I imagine it's possible in other parts of the country it's used as one?
Good luck with it.

Gazing around in horror doesn't work for me. Seeing as she's in front of either an airport or a hotel, depending on if she's coming or going, the use of horror seems over-dramatic for the situation.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:33 AM
- Jean Davis said...
No. I'd rather have what she's gazing at described so I see the horror.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:48 AM
- Rick said...
Yes, because I'm already grounded in a setting, character, and her reaction at something - I want to know what. And where she's going.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:54 AM
- Liberty Speidel said...
Yes. It makes me want to know what's happened--especially since it's at an airport or near one. Another terrorist attack? Hostage situation? Possibilities are endless!
- February 23, 2012 at 11:01 AM
- Erin said...
No. The word gazed threw me. When I think of gazing I think of looking lovingly at something not seeing something horrific. Maybe if that word was different it would pull me in more.
- February 23, 2012 at 11:07 AM
No. The combination of "gazing" and "in horror" don't work for me for the same reason others mention. The outcome is that I lose confidence in whether I'm going to get authentic reactions/emotions in the story if I continue reading.
- February 23, 2012 at 11:28 AM
- A. K. Fotinos-Hoyer said...
No. Too vague.
- February 23, 2012 at 12:00 PM
No- the commonplace suddenly becoming 'horror' doesn't really grab me
- February 23, 2012 at 12:52 PM
No, not quite. I wish there were more specifics in the first line. Also, "shuttlebus" should be two words.
- February 23, 2012 at 1:23 PM
- The REALLY Real Curious Crow said...
No. That "gazed" seems to be tripping the rest of the sentence up, because it doesn't match with "horror."
- February 23, 2012 at 1:29 PM
- Ninja Girl said...
I wish I was more in the scene with Elise. If you just wanted to provide what horrifies her in the next sentence, could you have her stumble out of the bus, just catching herself? Something to get us there with her/make us really get a sense of her character right off the bat.

I might be off base because I've never read a cozy mystery, but there just wasn't enough of a hook here for me.
I do like getting her name up front and I like that she's just stepped off the bus--that gives me an immediate sense of who and where we are. I have some suggestions:
First, gazed/horror is the wrong combo. Find a better verb.
Second, I think you stopped one description too soon. I can see this opening serving one of two purposes: Set the immediate problem or show characterization. But for either of those to work, we have to see what she sees.
If the thing she's looking at is actually horrific, then you need to describe it but you don't need to tell us she's in horror. "... and gazed at the corpses littered up and down the hotel circle drive." We infer horror.
If, however, it's not something horrific and you're using it to show her overreaction to something stupid, then keep "horror" but give us something character building. "... and gazed in horror at the never-ending sea of pastel buildings."
But if it's not actually showing us something horrible or giving us characterization, then I think it's the wrong kind of opening t use.

- Tara said...
No. "Gazed around in horror" is just a little too generic a description for me.
- February 23, 2012 at 2:07 PM
- Ru said...
No. I'd rather see what is causing her horror. "Gazed around in horror" just gives me a case of the meh's, sorry.
- February 23, 2012 at 2:16 PM
- Larissa said...
No. I'd prefer a physical reaction or one of the suggestions mentioned above. Without seeing or feeling her horror, I don't care enough yet. Sorry.
- February 23, 2012 at 2:30 PM
- DJ said...
Happens to me all the time. I'm going with Yes.
- February 23, 2012 at 2:58 PM
- sarahwedgbrow said...
No. It needs something more interesting/unusual.
- February 23, 2012 at 2:59 PM
- A.C. Turcotte said...
Yes. I like that you're starting right in the midst of the action, instead of bogging us down with a lot of back story and info dump. Your title helps. Love it!
- February 23, 2012 at 4:52 PM
- JL Dannor said...
No. Mostly because it's a cozy, so I think I'd be disappointed that there isn't likely to be anything actually horrible there at the airport (or exciting horrible, since all airports are horrible). Now, if there really were something horrible, that'd be a different thing altogether!
- February 23, 2012 at 5:01 PM
- Cheryl said...
No. This feels like a false set up--I doubt she is gazing around at anything truly horrific but is only displeased by the traffic or something. I'd rather get a glimpse of what she's horrified by than hear that she's horrified.
- February 23, 2012 at 5:06 PM
- Sarah F. said...
Yes. I have to know what's going on. What has she seen? Where is she? Why was she on an airplane?
~Sarah F.
- February 23, 2012 at 5:55 PM
- AG said...
No, very vague.
- February 23, 2012 at 6:33 PM
- Susan S said...
This is a classic case of "telling rather than showing." You tell me Elsie is horrified, but I don't see what she sees and I don't have any reason to empathize with her horror. I'm sure the paragraph continues with a description of what she sees, but the opening itself lacks that necessary punch.
- February 23, 2012 at 6:57 PM
- Wen Baragrey said...
No. If it were that she stepped out of the shuttlebus and gazed around in horror AT something, then it might work.
- February 23, 2012 at 8:03 PM
- Julia said...
No. There's not enough pull here -- tell us WHY she's staring around in horror, and then I'll be interested.
- February 23, 2012 at 9:57 PM
No. I'd rather know what she's looking at that is so horrific. The phrased "gazed in horror" doesn't sound very original, either. Not original enough for a first line, anyway.
- February 24, 2012 at 1:09 AM
- Ailsa said...
No. There isn't much to tell me what is going to be interesting about the story, or why she's horrified. I don't feel any connection to her.
- February 24, 2012 at 6:36 AM
- geewiz said...
No. Like others, I didn't like the "gazed" entry. Would have like to read evidenc eof the "what" and hope it was quirky and fun.
- February 24, 2012 at 9:41 AM
- Shakier Anthem said...
No. As others have mentioned, horrible is pretty much the default setting for airports. Specifics might help, either in terms of what's unusual about this particular setting's flavor of horrible, or why her experience of the horror is unique (for example, if she had agoraphobia or an intense aversion to security agents).
- February 24, 2012 at 12:03 PM
- Heidi said...
No. The phrase "gazed around in horror" feels cliche, and it doesn't seem warranted.
- February 24, 2012 at 12:30 PM
- Nata ArtistaDonna said...
No. Not enough to set the scene. Gazing around in horror seems awkward.
- February 24, 2012 at 1:04 PM
- macaronipants said...
Too many things she might be staring at in horror that are not interesting - traffic, litter, graffiti. It's not specific enough to make me want to read on.
- February 24, 2012 at 2:42 PM
- Stephsco said...
No. Sorry! Gaze and horror don't quite fit together. Gaze is leaisurely; gazing around doesn't imply a sense of urgency that horror would require. I agree with the commenter who suggested you describe what she sees and let the reader fill in the emotion.
- February 24, 2012 at 4:24 PM
- A Little Push said...
No. "gazed around in horror" didn't do it for me.
- February 24, 2012 at 4:44 PM
- JeffO said...
I should be thinking 'Why? What's going on?' but I'm not. It just doesn't pack a punch. 'Scene of horror' is just too vague.
- February 25, 2012 at 8:15 AM
- Traci Van Wagoner said...
No, too much telling instead of showing. It would help if you add more to the sentence, showing us what she's looking at. That would ground us in the setting and in the character. I suspect she's overreacting to her new surroundings.
- February 25, 2012 at 2:29 PM
It has just enough pull to get me to read the next sentence. I'm curious to know if it's truly horrible or if she's been melodramatic, and I'm hoping to be surprised.
- February 25, 2012 at 3:01 PM
- danika said...
"Gaze" isn't something that you do in horror. Gazing is casual or melancholy.
Also - if she were stepping off of a shuttlebus, she would have seen all this horror through the window. It would be odd to just notice this when she steps off.
- February 26, 2012 at 12:30 AM

I would also like to know this. I am a good tank but the theory behind it is a little foriegn to me as I've only just started tanking again.
My helmet for example. I originally wore a blue craftable one for the extra defence. But I have been wearing my S3 helm lately, the stats are much better, and hopefully the RES bonus on it makes up for loosing the DEF off my blue one.

The Frontline TV show recently ran an episode named "The Untouchables," about why no Wall Street criminals responsible for the 2008 crash have been prosecuted. Martin Smith interviewed federal Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer:
MARTIN SMITH: "Is that really the job of a prosecutor, to worry about anything other than simply pursuing justice?"
LANNY BREUER: "... the entire responsibility of the department is to pursue justice. But in any given case, I think I and prosecutors around the country, being responsible, should speak to regulators, should speak to experts, because if I bring a case against institution A, and as a result of bringing that case, there's some huge economic effect - if it creates a ripple effect so that suddenly counterparties and other financial institutions or other companies that had nothing to do with this are affected badly - it's a factor we need to know and understand."
What Mr. Breuer and his colleagues don't seem to understand is that one purpose of the law is deterrence of future crimes. Granting malefactors total impunity, out of some extraneous concern for short-term "ripple effects," creates an incentive for further mischief in the long run. The unpunished financial hustlers are free to carry on as before, and why not - with taxpayer-supported guarantees of a bailout if it all goes south and a get-out-of-jail-free card, the profits are irresistible.
This same mentality infects another sphere of our political life, demonstrated recently in the annual celebration of Martin Luther King day. Nowhere in the entire MSM (Mainstream Media) has it ever been reported that a civil trial in 1999 in Memphis found that MLK had been assassinated not by a lone nut, but by a high-level conspiracy.
After hearing the testimony of 70 witnesses, the 12 jurors reached a unanimous verdict.
Coretta Scott King, MLK's widow, has stated: "The jury was clearly convinced by the extensive evidence that was presented during the trial that, in addition to Mr. Jowers, the conspiracy of the Mafia, local, state and federal government agencies, were deeply involved in the assassination of my husband. The jury also affirmed overwhelming evidence that identified someone else, not James Earl Ray, as the shooter, and that Mr. Ray was set up to take the blame... our sole concern has been that the full truth of the assassination has been revealed and adjudicated in a court of law."
That truth has been deliberately suppressed by our Fourth Estate. In another trial in Miami in 1985, Hunt vs. Liberty Lobby, 12 jurors determined that the Watergate conspirator and ex-CIA agent E. Howard Hunt had been in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, the date of JFK's assassination, despite his disavowals, and concluded that the CIA had been involved in the assassination. The winning defendant's attorney, Mark Lane (who had also represented the deceased Oswald), was jubilant - now the unmitigated truth could be finally heralded.
But it never happened. The case, which should be as famous as the Scope's monkey trial in American history, never made it past the local Miami news stations. Quarantined. Blacked out. Erased from memory as effectively as Pravda covering up Stalin's bloody crimes. Why?
Mr. Breuer's rationale pertains here: The ugly truth could damage the American brand abroad, our enemies could use it as propaganda, idealistic schoolchildren could be demoralized, the elderly might suffer strokes, the Dow Jones could take a dive... yada, yada, yada. And no American pundit, scholar or politician wants to be branded with the dread tarbrush "conspiracy theorist," so all genuine conspirators have to do is set up the most clumsy patsy, and our top truthseekers will swallow it faster than Gomer Pyle splurging on a hobo's Rolex.
And so elite criminals go Scot free, emboldened with this carte blanche to commit more mayhem. It's as if Ted Kaczynski's brother decided to keep his suspicions to himself, because revealing the Unabomber's crimes would put a stain on the family honor and impair their employment and investment opportunities.
Yes, the internet is full of wacky theories and disinformation, and not everything you read online can be fully trusted.
But with these cases, the MSM has demonstrated that neither can it be fully trusted to tell us the whole truth, especially when it impinges on a criminal warmongering corporatocracy that since WWII has come to rule Washington as ruthlessly as Al Capone ruled Chicago.

Define 'new'
Do they mean as in 'not enough people cleared hardmodes'? (/point 10man HM) or are they talking about casuals not having cleared everything on normal yet?
Have seen a few postings regarding this topic in both directions. The simple fact is it just doesn't make business sense for blizzard to release new raid content right now. Too small of a % of players have actually finished the current content. Blizzard is looking to appeal to the masses. That being said, I dont know anyone that doesnt like new content even though we are only a few months into the new game.
What are your hopes for firelands? Another Ulduar? TOC? ICC?

Mists of Pandaria Protection Warrior SpreadsheetOriginally Posted by Ion
Warlords of Draenor One Minute Field Guides
There are maybe 3 or 4 guilds on horde side of my server who have started to do heroic modes. Many guilds work on starting to raid. Yes, my server is not the fastest, but I think it's a good indication where "most" players are.
I would consider the 12 normal modes the "current content". I imagine that most guilds that are serious at all about raiding will have at least seen all 12 of these bosses by the time Firelands hits. Hardmodes to me feel like a bonus, and I think it would be unreasonable to expect all the raiding guilds to have Sinestra down by the time we hit our next tier. We'd be waiting a pretty long time.
As for the Firelands raid itself, I'm hoping for a throwback to Molten Core. Semi-linear, around 10 bosses, and the feeling that you're truly in an epic and hostile area. As much as I love the convenience of the modern raids, I can't help but feel sometimes that these "lairs" full of the most powerful beings in the world are kind of dinky little makeshift hideouts. Amusingly, TotFW feels more epic to me than BWD, and there's like nothing there.
I'm guessing that Blizzard have a pretty good feel/statistics for when new raid content is due(or overdue). They are likely monitoring the overall "normal"-mode progression of guilds/players and have a marker(i.e normal nefarian killed by X amount of guilds/players perhaps?) for when they should release the new raidinstances. They want the majority of the playerbase to experience most of the released normal content. Fact is the only 17 % of the guilds(less than 8000) registered on WOWProgress have killed normal Nefarian - not that many yet really.
Ofc the extreme hardcore progression guilds might be a bit hungry for new content by the time the rest of the community catches up. However the extended "farm-time" is just a tradeoff when you rush through content and invest obscene amount of time on progress/chasing server firsts. I'm personally pretty happy with the decision since my guild only raids 9 hours a week, startet raiding early january and we still aim to be 13/13hc before Firelands is released.

They have already said Firelands won't come out until patch 4.2
yeah, firelands isn't going to release with 4.1 and content patches normally roll out around the 6 month mark historically, so with cata hitting in dec7, we'll probably see it around june timeframe, they'll reset arena/rated bg's, etc. the ZG/ZA stuff is probably just a mini thing to add to the heroic grind that we've been doing to add some fun, and to help later progressing guilds to help bridge the gear gap to get into raids before the new content hits.
READ THIS: Posting & Chat Rules
I really do not understand why exactly Blizzard would be releasing ZG and ZA for anything more then to keep the Wrath babies who want their free epics happy, and even then those instances are tuned fairly high for the 349 item level requirement to queue for them, but are pretty easy for the 359 item level player who has been raiding. I would hope that the Firelands is not the only raid being released in the next raid patch though, having a few different types of raids in order to obtain your tier gear is better then having one where everything drops from. This kind of happened with Tier 5 where you had Kara, Mags and Gruuls for that tier, which is what is happening currently where different bosses in different raids drop various slots of heroic tier tokens so we aren't sitting there getting burned out on one instance for 6 months like what happened in Wrath.
And a lot of the serious guilds are 4/13 in heroic content or further. Like I know Lore's guild just got Magmaw and Maloriak down on HM last week, my guild just downed Maloriak and Atramedes on HM this week and are moving on to new bosses for progression. Odds are these types of guilds will probably have Sinestra down by the time Firelands comes out, assuming people can get past the cockblock that is Ascendant Council HM.

And as to "too soon"...I dunno...hard to say if it being pushed back is good or not. I'd LIKE to clear the majority of the heroic 10 man content before Firelands..I'm dubious that we'll kill, frex, nef or sinestra...but I'd like to at least get a crack at the rest.
What I DON'T want is to have been farming it for 4 months by the time the new instance comes out...I'd rather it came out early than late, in that respect.

I'd recommend either John Varvatos (2004) or Vintage - those are two quite good and not too common scents.
My son used to wear the vintage formula and like it. I personally don't like any.
The original. But it doesn't stick around long enough.
10th Anniversary is by far the best one from this house.
Then comes:
Artisan Black
JV Original
Currently on my Rotation:
1. Cartier D'un Soir
2. Loewe Essencia
3. Bergamotto Marino
4. Herb Alpert Listen
5. Artisan
6. Bang
8. Pal Zileri No 18
9. TdH
0. Kenzo Homme
John Varvatos original for me. I tried the other versions (Artisan & Vintage) and didn't stroked as a must buying for me.
p.s. if you like the original, I should recommend to try Etienne Aigner Black for Men. The are very similar, with the later being slight sweeter and more focused on that black leather theme. Both are favorites of mine for autumn/winter.
"I love fragrances because they provide a sheer endless variety: there is a scent for every occasion, mood or feeling. Standing before my collection in the morning matching a perfume to my needs is one of the most enjoyable things in my day"...I don't want to miss that...
Current Top 12 Winter: | T.Mugler A*Men TOF | Davidoff Zino | Escada Magnetism | V&R Antidote | T.Mugler A*Men PureMalt | Hermes Rocabar | Prada Amber Intense | Versace Man | Reminiscence Noir | Donna Karan DK Fuel | Kenzo Jungle | Valentino V Homme |
I own a bottle of Vintage. It's quite uncommon and many seem to like the smell, but it gives me a terrible headache so I can't wear it at all. There are about 5 others reporting the same thing in the scent's page, so I'm not the only one.
Even if you find the fragrance interesting, try to sample it before buying a full bottle.
I honestly don't care for any of the Varvatos fragrances.
@Noirdrakkar: Who care what u don't care? If u don't care why did u read this thread?!?
+1 @ noirdrakkar
Like the packaging better than the juice...
Shoot - can't remember -- the one that smelt like a christmas cake.
I don't agree with the people who doesn't find JV fragrances to be different. They all are unique in their own way and are pretty interesting too...As a matter of fact this is one of my favorite houses....
Different people different noses different likings...so I'm not bothered about what people say about it...I never liked 1 Million but there are thousands of people who like it..so the point is that you can get an idea about a scent here on BN but you can not be sure of it until you give it try...

Is the juice worth the squeeze?

The 10th anniversary edition is a fun patchouli fest if you can find it.
My favorites are Vintage and Artisan Black. I also kind of like Star USA as well (even though its a more generic type scent). I don't care as much for Original and the original Artisan.
Vintage is my favorite from the line, followed by Artisan, original, and Artisan Black.
BTW, there will be a new John Varvatos scent coming out this summer.
Top 5 for Winter:
1) Straight to Heaven - By Kilian
2) Back to Black - By Kilian
3) Musk Oud - By Kilian
4) Encre Noire - Lalique
5) M7 (vintage or Oud Absolu) - YSL
My mission statement: "I am not afraid to keep on living - I am not afraid to walk this world alone."
Vintage is definitely my pick for favorite. Artisan was pretty special too as far as the overall scent goes. Original was good, but didn't really come across as anything particularly special to me.
Vintage is also my top choice from this line.
If I were forced at gunpoint, I would pick the regular Varvatos (not the vintage). I'm really not into the artisan series. I know one of the artisans was mediocre and the other artisan was just plain awful. I forgot which of the two was the terrible one.
----- People laugh at me because I'm different.... I laugh at them because they're all the same -----
Vintage and Original. Just wished they had better longevity .
10th Anniversary by a longshot, then Vintage.
Epic Man
Memoir Man
Ambre Sultan
Tobacco Vanille
Bois Du Portugal
Patchouly Noir
Varvatos, Vintage, Artisan...all three are amazing. Bad lasting power, but all three are great scents.
I've gotten compliments when wearing the original. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

I like Artisan best followed by Artisan Black which is almost the same, just smokier. It is one of my favorite designer fragrances for men.
I actually like them all. If I had to choose it would be the Vintage because it just smells smart. The person I picture wearing this scent is a college professor or an author who is hard at work writing a novel, surrounded by leather bound books and fine cigar smoke, listening to blues music and enjoying a glass of cognac or port wine.
The 10th anniversary has intrigued me quite a bit. I might pick it up soon, it seems like it's the only JV that actually has lasting power and decent sillage.
