Cardinal Throws Weight Behind Scottish Christian
His Eminence Cardinal Keith O'Brien gave his firm backing to the objectives of Scotland's first Christian Democratic party in a historic first meeting in Glasgow this week. The meeting on Tuesday 24th October was also attended by the Archbishop of Glasgow, Rt. Rev. Mario Conti and the Bishop of Argyle and the Isles, Rt. Rev. Ian Murray. It was convened with the leadership of the Scottish Christian Peoples Alliance to discuss both the increasing secularisation in Scottish politics and the party's plans to run candidates for the Holyrood Parliament in May next year. Discussions were held last month with the General Secretary of the Scottish Evangelical Alliance.
Teresa Smith, Leader of the Christian Peoples Alliance in Scotland, commented:
"This backing of our aims and objectives by the Leader of Scotland's Catholic Bishops could not have come at a more significant time.
"In the life of this Parliament, MSPs have voted, almost on masse, in favour of civil partnerships, quickie divorces, graphic sex education in schools and the repeal of Section 28; all measures that are directly opposed to Christian social teaching. Through these discussions, the Cardinal is highlighting the real democratic deficit that exists in Scotland. He is also affirming that CPA offers a real alternative for voters in 2007 as a party that is strong on social justice, whilst also being pro-family and pro-life."
He urged the party to action:
"There is a vacuum in Scottish politics because there is no political voice to challenge the social status quo. If the CPA - or any other party - can fill that vacuum, this would be a service
Without endorsing the party and giving his support to the witness of Christians in other parties, the
Bishop Tartaglia issued a warning against the emergence of confessional parties and notes that the presence in Scotland of a Christian Democratic party like the CPA "is in keeping with the noble tradition of Christian Democracy across Europe."
Adding that "I have no political home", Bishop Tartaglia told the delegates who came from across
"If the CPA contests and wins any seats at the level of the Scottish Parliament, they will be there

Greeting and Address
Right Rev. Philip Tartaglia, Bishop of Paisley
National Conference of the Christian Peoples' Alliance
Glasgow Airport Holiday Inn Express
Saturday 21st October 2006
1. Good morning. I greet you in the name of Jesus Christ. I am here because you are here. I am here because I am the Bishop of Paisley and you are meeting in the Diocese of Paisley. You are a political party which has an avowedly Christian identity and which proposes policies which chime with core Christian values, especially as regards the sacredness of life and the status of the family. In so far as that is the case, I believe it is reasonable for a Christian leader to greet you and to welcome you to the political stage in Scotland.
2. Some people will interpret my presence here and my greeting as an endorsement. It is not an endorsement. It is no business of the Catholic Church in Scotland to endorse political parties. This is a welcome. When it comes to politics, it is incumbent upon Catholic bishops to tread a fine line, and I intend to follow that line in what I say to you this morning.
3. You present yourself as a Christian democratic party. This is new for Scotland, where we have no significant tradition of Christian democracy. So, to achieve anything, you will have to appeal also beyond the Christians of Scotland. Scotland is a diverse liberal democracy. Your party and your policies will need to appeal across the board to those things which are accessible to all human beings: to right reason, to human decency, and to a sense of the common good. You will need to be seen to be capable of offering policies which cover not just life and family, but education, the environment, finance, and other areas of political competence and of social relevance. One-issue politics does not usually work.
4. I note from your manifesto that you have taken up this challenge and havepresented a well thought-out range of policies which are consistent withthe principles of Christian social teaching. Your noble vision and high ideals are impressive. Politics is a vital area for the promotion of the wellbeing of every member of society and this can only be successful if the principles of the natural law are respected by those working in the political field.
5. These principles do not however provide a blueprint for government. There is no one Christian way to solve the problems and challenges of governance. It is important that Christians recognise the legitimate separation of Church and State. Back in the 1960's, the Fathers of the Second Vatican set out this principle when they made this guiding declaration: "The Church and the political community in their own fields are autonomous and independent from each other. Yet both, under different titles, are devoted to the personal and social vocation of the same men. The more that both foster sounder cooperation between themselves with due consideration for the circumstances of time and place, the more effective will their service be exercised for the good of all" (GS 76).
6, So, far from attempting to usurp the powers of government, and far even from trying to dictate policy, the Church's social teaching limits itself to proposing principles for reflection, providing criteria for judgment; and giving guidelines for action" ( cf. CCC 2423). This is what the bishops of Scotland set out to do when we published our recent statement on nuclear disarmament. It is what I did when I spoke on marriage and the family at the recent "Red Mass" in Edinburgh.
7. This gives rise in fact to numerous ways in which Christians can participate inpolitics. We would say that the creation of a confessional party is inadvisable because blurs the distinction between the sacred and the profane, and is not in keeping with the recognition of the different but complementary service to society given by politics andreligion. It would be wrong of the Church, therefore to set up its own political party. It would be unwise of the Church, for the same reason, to sponsor a political party.
8. However, it has to be said that the presence of a democratic Christian party on the political landscape is in keeping with the noble tradition of Christian Democracy across Europe. (Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany, is a Christian Democrat. The Christian Democrats in Sweden now have a presence in the Cabinet of the Swedish Government.) These political parties have a proven track record of appealing to a constituency wider than just the Christian community. They promote values which can be respected by all people of good will and for that reason they are a legitimate choice of political action for Christians. These parties are all the more important at a time when we have witnessed the mainstream of political life move in directions which have alarmed many Christians as well as those who share our belief in natural law principles.
10. As a matter of guiding principle, the Church would insist argue that "a family policy must be the basis and driving force of all social policies."(EV 90), and it is particularly the family which has come under attack recently from myriad political initiatives. The wellbeing of society is tied closely to the wellbeing of the family, and the necessity of clearly promoting policies and laws which uphold and strengthen family life has rarely been more pressing.
11. Despite what I have been saying – or maybe what I have been saying just confirms it! - I am not a political animal. I am out of my comfort zone in politics. I have no political home. This is the case even more as time goes by, because the mainline political parties are less and less able to make room in their programmes for what I think are the core human values of life and family.
12. I suspect the silent majority of people feel much the same way. They have little choice in the contemporary political landscape, especially if they have misgivings about the present social status-quo. They possibly feel sometimes as if they have been bullied into conformity by the political class. There is a vacuum in Scottish politics because there is no political voice to challenge the social status-quo. If the CPA – or any other party – can fill that vacuum, this would be a service to Scottish politics.
13. There are, across many parties, good candidates who hold the values of their faith dearly in their political lives. The Church commends this as a vital way in which Christians should be the leaven of society. Ideally Christians should be able to workin every party, but for many people that noble effort is still not havinga significant enough effect on party policy. I can imagine that there are politicians who feel as if they must support the dominant party line for the sake of their careers. With regard to the public at large, at election times I have encountered situations where individuals feel that they cannot in good conscience vote for any of the candidates on the ballot paper. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why voting patterns are in decline.
14. People will see me here, and will say: Bishops should not be involved in politics. In saying this they are only partly right. If a bishop chooses to speak on a political matter that has no significant religious or moral dimension, then his words may well carry the authority of a prominent and respected member of society, but no more than that. But when a bishop chooses to speak on a religious or moral issue on which politics has a bearing, not only may he speak, but he must speak, and his words will carry authority to the extent that he speaks the truth of the Gospel of Christ. And so a bishop must speak on matters to do with war and peace, with poverty and oppression, with marriage and the family, and above all on the sacredness of life, on which all human rights are founded. A bishop must bring before politicians and legislators their duty before God, whether they like it or not, and whether they acknowledge God or not.
15. Despite persistent caricatures of the Church's teaching, her teaching is in fact motivated by compassion for individuals and by concern for the common good. The Church understands and deeply regrets sin and brokenness in her own members and in humanity as a whole. The work of the Church is mercy and forgiveness. She specialises in the forgiveness of sin. She specialises in compassion to those who are needy. Her record of commitment to the poor and needy in the developing world is unequalled among nations and institutions. The Church must also serve the truth. And the Church is convinced of the mutual in-dwelling of compassion and truth. Without compassion, there is no truth. Without truth, there is no compassion.
16. But tell me this, is easy 'quickie' divorce a compassionate answer to the needs of spouses and children, and does it help the common good of society? Is abortion a compassionate answer to un-born human life? Is the arms trade a compassionate answer to the poor of the world? Is the stockpiling of nuclear weapons far beyond the needs of legitimate deterrence a compassionate answer to the world's cry for peace? Is the affluence and wastefulness of western society a compassionate answer to hungry dying children? Is the distribution of condoms a compassionate response to HIV/AIDS or does it just encourage the promiscuity which caused it in the first place?
17. Is so-called value-free sex education a compassionate answer to the needs of young people who are thus reduced to hopeless cases who cannot be trusted to live their sexuality with dignity? I do not mean to turn this address into a sermon. But to discover true compassion, we all need to look on the face of the crucified dying Christ, who prayed: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."
18. You live in the political world. You aspire to public office and to a share in government. It is a noble and challenging office to be an MP or Councillor. As a religious leader, it is important to be able to work cordially with the civic authorities and political leadership of the local community. I am glad to say that I have good and even friendly working relationships with the Labour and Lib-Dem controlled authorities which make up the Diocese of Paisley. The Councillors and Council officials work very hard for the common good of the communities they serve. The MPs and MSPs also have the right to my respect because they represent the people, and because they are serious about what they are doing.
19. If the CPA manages to win any seats at local level, I trust they will do their best to support the common good. If the CPA contests and wins any seats at the level of the Scottish Parliament, it will be there on merit and can take heart from the strong showing of other small parties which punch above their weight and are not without influence on the national stage.
20. You may feel that the highest priority for you is that your party flourish. That is understandable. But please consider this. The presence of the CPA on the political landscape of Scotland will also be of help to Christians in other parties. It is inevitable that Christians will differ in their views on economics, health and education, defence, and other matters. It is debate around these differences which is the lifeblood of democracy. We have seen how the existence of the small pro-environmental parties in Europe has not nullified the aim of all parties to exercise wise stewardship of the environment. It is my hope that a Christian democratic party would not lead to a desertion of the other parties by Christians but rather a flourishing of the role of those committed to such values in the parties in which they feel most at home.
21. To serve the community as councillor or parliamentary representative is a worthy ambition and a serious duty. If your party manages to achieve that to any degree, I trust that your Christian convictions will be an inspiration to help you carry out your duties with integrity, with responsibility, with equity and with a sense of openness to the diversity and democratic instinct of the Scottish public.

As a child Zonnie Gorman attended numerous events honoring the Navajo Code Talkers.
Her father, Carl Gorman, was one of the original 29 Navajo Code Talkers in World War II.
However, it was not until her father's Marine recruiter Frank Shin came to one of his presentations that she began personal research into these war heroes.
Although she did not attend the presentation, Zonnie Gorman arranged to interview the former recruiter. This sparked her independent study and greater interest in details of the Code Talkers' story.
She shared these details during her talk at Cleveland State Community College Thursday night as part of the college's Multicultural Fair events.
"This is my first visit to Tennessee, and I have been welcomed with open arms," Gorman said.
The Navajo were recruited by the U.S. Marines to develop a code for military communication in the South Pacific after the Japanese deciphered all of the U.S. military codes. (Other native people groups were used by the Army in Europe for the same purpose.)
"They were a ... vital component of the United States military campaigns in World War II," Gorman said. "The Marine Corps has a very deep and abiding respect for the Navajo Code Talkers and what they did in World War II."
There were 400 Navajo Code Talkers used to relay military messages during the War.
"Per capita during World War II, Native Americans were the largest minority group in the country to volunteer for service," Gorman said.
Navajo Code Talkers were first used at Guadalcanal, and continued to play an important role until the end of the war.
The men's involvement and the code they developed was classified military information until 1968. From 1969 to 1972 there were many recognitions of the Navajo Code Talkers, Gorman said. She said the surviving members formed the Navajo Code Talkers Association in 1971 and began appearing in parades and other patriotic events. Gorman's father served as president of the association in 1981. Gorman said the association still exists today.
Shin said Gorman's father had stood out in his memory because he felt the man had lied about his age. Gorman said there were many men who lied about their age in order to serve their country. However, most of them said they were older.
"Most men lied up ... my father was 36 and he lowered his age by 10 years," Gorman said. "My father also had a very dynamic personality."
Gorman said the suggestion to use the Navajo language as the basis for a military code is credited to Philip Johnson, the son of missionaries to the Navajo and a soldier in the U.S. Army in World War I.
After a demonstration of Navajo using their language for military communication, a memorandum was sent by Gen. Clayton Vogel to Washington, D.C., outlining the demonstration and asking him to recruit 200 Navajo for the project.
Gorman said the Marine Corps began looking into whether this would be possible. Some concerns were if would there be enough bilingual Navajos to make the communication system work and were the Navajo restricted from bearing arms. Gorman said some tribes were restricted in their treaties from bearing arms, regardless of whether it was for or against the U.S.
These issues were addressed and on April 6, 1942, orders were given for 30 Navajos to be recruited.
"My father didn't talk a lot about the recruitment," Gorman said.
Instead, her information comes from her interview with Shin.
At first no one would talk to the Marine recruiters, Gorman said. After three days, Shin found out why. The tribal council had told the people not to talk to any "white people" on the reservation.
The Marines talked to the tribal council, which in turn gave permission for them to talk to the people. Word that permission had been granted was sent through shortwave radio to public places. Gorman said people with these radios would then spread the word.
"Then it would go on the Indian grapevine, and that's faster than texting," Gorman said.
Shin and his fellow recruiter thought it would take a while for word to get out.
"So, they decided to sleep in, which sleeping in for a Marine is like right after the crack of dawn." Gorman said.
As the sun came up, there was a persistant noise outside the trailer they were staying in.
"When he pulled that (window) current open, this field was full of Navajos," Gorman said.
Among them were men in their 70s wearing uniforms from their younger days in battle "ready to go back to war," Gorman said.
"He was very, very impressed. He said, 'That image has stayed in my brain as one of the most Patriotic displays that I have ever seen," Gorman said.
The Marines continued to be impressed with the 29 recruits. Gorman said no one is sure why the requested 30 were not recruited. The Navajos adapted well to military life because they had attended boarding schools. Gorman said the schools, run either by the Bureau of Indian Affairs or missionaries, were a part of the government's assimilation policy for Native Americans. The schools sought to "Americanize" Indian children and wipe out their Indian cultural heritage, Gorman said. Later during her presentation, Gorman said the schools had a lasting impact.
"(Navajo) is a dying language," Gorman said.
The 29 original Navajo Code Talkers developed a military code from thier native language by using Navajo words substituted for English versions of words, letters and countries. Gorman said as the code developed, multiple words were used for letters to make the code harder to break. The code talkers used symbols they associated with the country to determine what they would call it in the Navajo-based code. Gorman said while there was a written Navajo language at that time, many fluent at speaking the language could not read or write in Navajo.
"It was quite amazing what they did," Gorman said.
Since the 1968 declassification of their work, the Navajo Code Talkers have been honored in different ways. They were first honored in 1969 by the 4th Marine Division. In 1975, the association received national recognition when they marched in the Tournament of Roses Parade. In 1981, President Ronald Reagan signed a proclamation honoring them. The four reaminging original Navajo Code Talkers received the Gold Congressional Medal from president George W. Bush.
Only one of the original 29 Navajo Code Talkers is alive today.

Your bank account might be crying but your Xbox is loving it - the THIRD FIFA game of the year is here and it's so good all football fans need it.
There hasn't been a new Pro Evo game for a while on Xbox, and there aren't any more to come either, so if you've wanted some new footie action the FIFA camp has been the only place to be. And if this is to be the last FIFA game on our beloved old friend, then the franchise is going out with a massive bang.
It may have FIFA on the box but this is a different game. If you've been playing FIFA games over the years you will expect the same gameplay with a few minor tweaks, and a few extra game options. But the big thing about FIFA 07 is that EA has gone back to the drawing board to re-programme a new gameplay engine to try and produce its most realistic game yet. And these changes do make a difference.
From the moment you kick off and make your first few passes you'll see that everything feels smoother and flows better than previous FIFA games. FIFA 07 is a more intelligent game - you will constantly see players around you making runs, getting into nice spaces and setting themselves up for a chance on goal. A more refined passing mechanic helps you get the ball to these players with greater ease, with a degree of AI assistance that automatically guides your passes to help you avoid passing the ball directly at a defender or into empty space. The only downside to the AI assistance is that you will occasionally pass to completely the wrong player, but that rarely costs you possession of the ball.
While passing has been made easier, shooting is now tougher. The game seems to incorporate human error more realistically. So if your striker is trying to hold off defenders, shoot from an awkward angle or isn't composed on the ball when you hit the Shoot button, his shot accuracy decreases dramatically. But if your player has space, composure and ideally a bit of a run up to the ball, he'll launch it like a rocket. It's all about the situation, and it gives the game a far less mechanical feel.
There are plenty of off-pitch improvements too, most excitingly the game's online Interactive League. In this mode, you choose your team and when it's playing in real life you can go online and play against fans of the opposing team during the real match. At the end of the real-life match, the team who had the most online wins is rewarded with three points in the online league. Linking online matches to real life fixtures is a real boon, and it will give FIFA fans across the world a real sense of community, as everyone is battling for their team.
But if your Xbox isn't connected to the t'interweb, the improved Manager mode is where you'll spend most of your time. Just like before, you take a team through a league, but as well as controlling them on the field, you also have to compete with the manager. This time around, players' transfer fees have been set to much more realistic figures, and you will get sponsorship offers sent to you (via pager) to keep your funds rolling in. More significantly, your players will gain experience each time you play them and level-up in an RPG-type of system. There are way too many aspects on the Manager mode to talk about them all, but it does a great job of absorbing you into a more complete footballing world.
Pro Evo boffs may go on endlessly about how their game 'just feels like football', but that one-track argument will soon be completely invalid because FIFA 07 looks and feels brilliant too. Its player selection niggles and occasional passing mishaps slightly compromise its otherwise brilliant gameplay. But with its long list of awesome Interactive Leagues and other online tempters, the in-depth Manager mode and all the official polish you usually get with FIFA games, this is the all-encompassing football experience you need.
FIFA 07 is fantastic. The reworked gameplay feels so right and its Xbox Live support is amazing
- With a completely overhauled gameplay engine, this is the rejuvination FIFA needed
- The stunning Interactive League is a great feature, and sets a new standard for football games
- Much improved Manager mode will pull you into the full world of football, and keep you playing for months
- As usual, the presentation is flawless, from the player animation to stadiums and menu screens. All top class
- Player select and auto-pass targeting can be off sometimes, but it doesn't cause major problems

In his homily at Santa Marta Pope Francis reflected on the certainty that "Jesus prays for us", considering the day's readings from the Gospel of John (17:1-11) and the Acts of the Apostles (20:17-27). We have the best defense lawyer on our side, who "does not speak much but loves" and who "in this very moment" is praying for each of us, showing "his wounds to the Father" to remind him of "the price he paid to save us".
"I pray for them, I do not pray for the world but for the ones you have given me, because they are yours" (Jn 17:1-11). But the liturgy, the Holy Father pointed out, also presents another "farewell discourse" to us in the first reading, wherein from Miletus, St Paul sends for the elders of the Church in Ephesus to bid them farewell (Acts 20:17-27).
St Paul tells them that he does not know his destiny: "except that in one city after another the Holy Spirit has been warning me that that imprisonment and hardships await me". The story continues with the account [from the following day's reading from Acts 20:37-38] that they "were all weeping loudly and they threw their arms around Paul and kissed him, for they were deeply distressed that he had said that they would never see his face again. Then they escorted him to the ship". Paul, however, encouraged them to go forward, to preach the Gospel, and not to tire.
Even Jesus' talk — noted the Pope — is "a farewell discourse, before going to Gethsemane to begin the passion". And "the disciples were saddened" because of this. But "a small phrase from Jesus' words of farewell make us think", he explained. Jesus, in fact, "talks to the Father, and in this conversation he says: 'I pray for them'". So "Jesus prays for us". A fact that may seem "a bit strange", because "we think it is right to pray to Jesus, and that Jesus gives us grace. But Jesus prays for us! Jesus who prays, Jesus the man-God who prays! And he prays for us: he prays for me, he prays for you, and for each one of us".

Nintendos humongous franchise has sales figures to match, including 190,000,000 games shifted and over $24 billion worth of worldwide sales
We always knew the sales of Pokemon related goods were pretty high, but a new free mini-magazine in Japan to celebrate the launch of Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver has given us all sorts of cool facts about the franchise along side some interviews. So get ready for some big figures!
Starting (of course) with the games, 130 million copies of the core RPG titles in the series have been sold, with an additional 60 million units from the spin-off entries. The Pokemon Card Game, which is now selling in over 40 countries, has now reached 14 billion cards sold.
The anime based on the series has reached the TV sets of viewers in 74 countries since its launch in 1997. The Pokemon movies (there has been 12 already) have also made it big, making over $680 million Australian dollars worth in just Japan! These join the roughly 3,500 other items related to the series made by 85 officially licensed companies in Japan.
Now for the number you've really been waiting for – the total sales figures. The franchise has now amassed over 24 billion Australian dollars worth of sales worldwide, and half of that is from Japan!
One of the interviews of interest is actually with Akina Minami, the lady on the cover of the magazine. She was introduced to the series while at school in Grade 3 by the Red and Green games, and has enjoyed the series since.
"I love Pokemon," she said. "I normally don't play RPGs. I usually find it troublesome to raise levels and search for items. But Pokemon doesn't make those areas feel troublesome, so it's the one RPG that I play."

Asus Xonar DX review
Asus has only recently started making sound cards, but the low cost of this card will probably have Creative Labs worried.
Asus's Xonar cards are aimed at gamers. The Xonar DX slots comfortably into any PCI-E slot and is powered by a four-pin connector. It has 3.5mm analogue 7.1 outputs, but the optical S/PDIF out shares a socket with the 3.5mm mic/line in.
Asus uses software to implement Creative's EAX environmental sound standard, which means you can use the Xonar with any EAX-compatible game. We tested it using the same settings in Prey and Call of Duty 2 that we used to test Creative's X-Fi Titanium. The Xonar's reproduction of the EAX 3.0 effects in Call of Duty was virtually indistinguishable from that of the X-Fi. We liked its interpretation of Prey's EAX 5.0 effects, although pulsing sounds lacked the immediacy of the X-Fi. The card also supports Dolby Digital Live.
The Xonar DX isn't suitable for audio production, but it's great for music and games, and provides good audio quality at a reasonable price.

When Obama was elected, Denham said he called the $9 trillion U.S. debt "un-American." Now it is $17 trillion, he said.
House Republicans will never agree on Senate's Democrats desire for a debt ceiling with no cap, he said.
So if Republicans and Democrats can't come together on the simple issues — a delay in Obamacare — how will they solve the looming monster of the debt ceiling debate?
It's hard to envision how that will get done.
Once past the debt ceiling debate, Denham predicted the House and Senate would eventually hammer out a farm bill that will be supported in bipartisan fashion in both chambers. The only drama, he said, would be if the nutrition title in the farm bill is a three-year bill or a five-year bill.
"If it is a three-year bill, that means it is going to be separated from the ag portion of the farm bill," he said.
The biggest issue for Denham — and arguably for the indusry — is immigration.
Denham said that issue will need a push to get across the finish line. The issue doesn't have a deadline, and that makes it easy to ignore. Once expected to be taken up early in 2013, then before the August work period, it still awaits action.
"Immigration, if it doesn't get slotted, if it doesn't become a big issue, it will never get taken up," he said.
Denham faulted the leadership of Democrats and Republicans in the so-called "Gang of Eight" who have let the immigration debate flounder.
In particular, he called for those lawmakers to publish their proposal.
"Introduce your bill! You (had) it ready for six years!" Denham said. "Let's get something out there we can be for!" he said.
In the end, Denham said immigration reform is needed and both parties need to focus on it.
Speaking to United Fresh on Oct. 1, Rep. Kurt Schrader, D-Ore., ranking member of the House agriculture committee's subcommittee on horticulture, said the farm bill might be a path where Republicans and Democrats learn again to work with one another. A successful farm bill could be a path to camaraderie, he offered.
That's a rosy view, but we will take it on faith.
But if the farm bill flops, where does that leave America?
What's your take? Leave a comment and tell us your opinion.

Wrath experience needed to level reduced by 20% {WoW}
Nov 19th 2010 1:42AM NEWS BRIEF
A BOAT IN THE OCEAN - Worgen Druid Doublebark said he's ready for Northrend, just a week after smashing up the "New-Old World," and Outland.
"Eh, just a little grind in Northrend now, and then I can join my company brothers and sisters who are ready to raid Cho'Gall. No sweat. It's gonna be kinda like that Outland place; I just showed up for a few missions in the red spot with the orcs, that mushroom place, killed a crapload of stuff in Nagrand and voila, ready for the boat to the arctic! Heck, I did most of the 50s in battlegrounds, I probably could do the same up here. But for now it's just figuring whether I want to sic my flea swarms on the funky wildlife of Borean or long walks on the fjords and bitin' my fellow worgies," he said.
Denizens of Northrend and merchants of Dalaran are saddened by the in-and-out adventurers.
"They'll miss the lore! They'll miss the heroics! They'll miss the awesomeness of Ulduar and my boss! The Lich King's lair! And hell they'll miss me, above all else," said a distraught Loken, who added he got a call from Pathaleon the Calculator, who offered membership in the Forgotten Bosses Club and told him he'd "get over it."
And some resent the fast climbers. "These whippersnappers and their extra experience gear. Pshaw," said Orc warrior Go'tu Skuul. "Back in my day, it took days to level. When we killed boars in the forest or turtles on the shores of Tanaris, we had extinction level events!"
Asked if that comment raised his concerns, the Druid said it wasn't a biggie. "I honestly don't know why some of my brothers and sisters joined DEHTA or why it exists, honestly. Barring weirdness like the Scourge, elemental or fel invasion, most of the animal life comes back in five minutes."
Gnome Councilor: "EK be trippin', but floating cities cost mad mana, yo."
"With the heirloom gear, it was all a blur."
"I've just been doing randoms, BGs and selling my alts' stuff at the AH."
Know Your Lore: King Varian Wrynn, page 3 {WoW}
Nov 17th 2010 11:07PM "TheDalaranStreetJournal.com - Read This and Turn Your Copper Into Gold"
Human King Unhappy With Security
STORMWIND -- His Highness is 'getting tired' of killing Horde infiltrators on a minute-by-minute basis.
Amidst a pile of dead Orcs, Forsaken, Tauren, Trolls and Blood Elves around his throne, King Varian Wrynn expressed his displeasure with the Stormwind Royal Office of the Treasury as the request for more guards in the castle entrance was shot down today.
The Treasury claimed there was not enough funding to support stationing more guards in the lengthy hallway or throne room, and said there was only enough money to add more guards to the Valley of Heroes, Auction House and banking centers.
It's not good to be the King of Stormwind, Wrynn sighed.
"This is like the fifth attack on me today. Basically, protecting the money is more important than the life of their own king!" Wrynn shouted, kicking an impaled male Blood Elf mage off his blade during a lull in assaults, the Sin'Dorei's arm shooting up in a death spasm as he thudded lifelessly to the ground.
"I'm trying to raise my son and guide this city, this faction, and yet I'm attacked by Horde members constantly, 24/7," Wrynn said. "I've been in Orgrimmar. Thrall had soldiers and spiked doors every few feet and Vol'Jin along with a bunch of advisors willing to lay their life down for him. I've seen the Undercity, and the abomination that rules there has several guards and advisors surrounding her. Silvermoon, Lor'Themar has TWO LINES of soldiers guarding his room. Me? I have one or two soldiers patrolling a ridiculously long hallway that offers no impediments, and I'm just standing here with my son and this Draenei ambassador who's not fighting material. I'm fed up with this situation. I'm tired of it."
Alliance citizens have claimed the visual lack of guards shows that Wrynn is, in the words of visiting Dwarven warrior Beardaxe Bob "a badass," showing proof an Alliance member can be a winner in Azeroth's arenas. But it is also a problem for those seeking audience with Stormwind's ruler. Newly defected death knights have a problem with the lack of security, as they need clearance from the King to do business with the Alliance.
"I waited three hours to see Wrynn to pledge my allegiance. Why the wait? Not from the usual stuff kings deal with, like hearing nobles ask for money, some dwarf chick bringing him a box of candy for the holidays or whatnot, but Wrynn was fending off a dozen or more Horde guys by himself, and back then I'm fresh out of the cesspool and no match for any of them," said Night Elf death knight Rustleaf. "And he's not my original ruler! But they told me to see him. Orders are orders. Doubt Fandral would've brought me back in the fold unless I had his dead kid with him telling him I was cool."
There have been attempts to alleviate the King's situation. Advisors put the portals to warzones and arenas in a nearby room, but most mercenary adventurers were oblivious to the cries of help from their King. "Also, some prefer the 'canned' honor to that obtained 'in the wild,'" said a Goblin Arena worker who wished to remained unidentified. The worker also pointed out since most adventurers can now dial into battlegrounds remotely, travel to the castle has diminished.
A public relations push came earlier this year to Alliance adventurers to support the King in times of trouble, but many said they were put off by his stances with his Horde opposite, Warchief Thrall. "I do not support this king, as he does not promote peace or show restraint," said Night Elf Druid Bearlee There, who was picking Troll blood from her claws and counting Orc heads from a recent excursion to Alterac Valley.
Others claim they are just too busy to help out their faction's leader. "Strictly business. I'm protecting my investments first should they shank my banker or auctioneer. Then I have to run to my guild's attack on the ICC in Northrend. The King's got guards, he's got that big frickin' sword, there's charitable fools needing achievements, he doesn't need my help!" said Human mage and Auction House mover-and-shaker Roark Galt.
Stormwind Intelligence (SI-7) recently tried an idea that almost worked, setting up a coffee stand in one of the rooms along the hallway. The plan was a passive way to attract more guards and adventurers to the locale but were thwarted by a fracas caused by an unidentified Alliance adventurer, a Gnome and a robot which destroyed the stand and killed the barista working there. "She was scalded to death by the fresh caramel macchiato that spilled all over her, but that was kind of a Lightsend. A Forsaken rogue prowling the area in hopes of ganking the King couldn't resist the urge to taste her coffee-coated body. He was detected and properly dealt with," recalled a source familiar with the incident. "When SI-7 tried to rebuild the stand, some bloke in the bureaucracy took note of the falsified papers and said the castle was off limits for business permits. Then the merchants raised a row about it. Master Mathias Shaw didn't want to get caught up in paperwork and politics, the nobility didn't want all sorts of peddlers in the castle proper, and that was that."
The source also said the recent failed legislation which would have moved Stormwind's Auction House to outside the castle entrance had the King's backing. "Nothing reels more security or adventurers than that place. Look at what Garrosh is planning in Orgrimmar, he's practically right at that town's financial center. An auctioneer or banker goes down, the whole city gets crazed for blood and Garrosh is covered," the source said.
In addition to refusing the King's wishes, the Treasury also declined requests to send soldiers to guard the Deeprun Tram. "The rats alone need to be whacked," Deeprun Tram rat kebob merchant Nipsy said. "But it's another thing to get ganked by bored Hordies or see flagged youth get jumped as they travel between Ironforge and Stormwind. And what's really unfair: I heard them Horde zepplins have guards on them. What do we have?"
A Horde spokesmen said the attacks aren't sanctioned, "but we do offer a real sweet mount for those with the courage or who are bored of whipping some Tauren wimp at a bar. Hey, they do the same too."
As for Horde leaders, only one wished to go on record. "While I am flattered that Varian would notice I have a large contingent of guards around me, few Azerothians know I'm the leader of Silvermoon," said Lor'Themar Theron, Regent of Quel'Thalas. "It really doesn't take that much to get expendable city guards in our bureaucracy. However, getting freelance adventurers to protect me is another deal. We're right now fighting a two-pronged PR battle here in Silvermoon, trying to get more tourism and trying to tell everyone just WHO THE HELL RULES THIS CITY! We just ran a poll asking the Horde who the Blood Elf faction leader is, and I came in behind Garrosh Hellscream, Kael'Thas, Sylvanas, Rommath, High Astromancer Solarian and Illidan Stormrage. Two of those aren't even Blood Elves!"
Wrynn isn't alone amongst Alliance leaders frustrated at the lack of security. While dwarves and visitors to Ironforge are usually quick to respond to attacks on King Magni Bronzebeard (and the fact his throne room is close to popular areas), few Night Elves or other Alliance members will head to Darnassus to help out Archdruid Fandral Staghelm, many citing "personal reasons" or the fact the Night Elf city isn't a popular destination.
The latter is also true for Prophet Velen of the Draenei, who was willing to go on the record about security woes. "Oy vey, they -- them adventurers, hah! -- they hear I'm under attack, and half of them go 'Exodar's too far' or those that do come over, they don't know where to go over here and get lost. By the time they find me, eh, it's too late," Velen said, throwing up his wrinkly hands while eating a falafel. "Plus, I'll never forget the guy targeting the holograms of the demons we keep in the room ... would you believe, heh, this guy, the only one to show up, thought those were attacking me. Aside from having a couple of Tauren and a pretty boy elf paladin putting their swords in my face, that schmuck just made my day."
Know Your Lore: King Varian Wrynn, page 3 {WoW}
Nov 17th 2010 10:16PM More so than Garrosh, Varian Wrynn needs the PR. He has not been displayed well in WotLK, nor did you get the sense he was gunning for Arthas for anything other than killing another big monster on the field. Playing the game, you just see an anime-looking angry guy with a snotty nobles attitude (I got that from his quotes while fighting in the Crusader heroic and raids). Reading the KYL's on Varian and the wikia entries (both of which delve into the offline content) -- Varian is flushed out; intelligent and sympathetic. He isn't an out-of-touch noble, nor is he the full "reckless orc's orc" Garrosh perceives himself to be.
I still think Varian and Garrosh are cars set to crash into each other, probably not on their own decisions (take bets on whoever pulls the strings -- the Old Gods? The Burning Legion? Sylvanas? Genn Greymane? Some zealot Night Elf upset from the loss of status quo? The new Lich King?), so Blizzard can have a storyline for the fourth RTS installment.
Yeah, I went there.

Nov 15th 2010 2:34AM I myself wrote this as my RP excuse for the "Emerald Dream/Nightmare" hitting Azeroth ...
VODKAMARTINI THE WARLOCK: (busy switching hairstyles) Mage slave, tell me how our Auction House sales have gone!
THE MAGE: No sales, sir, er, ma'am becau-
VODKAMARTINI: WHAT? Dammit I need the money for inks, mats, the chateau in Southshore ...
THE MAGE: Because everyone's asleep. EVERYONE!
VODKAMARTINI: Obviously, it's 5 a.m. entire server of Azeroth time!
THE MAGE: No, some sort of dream curse has the population of Azeroth, save for a few individuals and the population of Darnassus, asleep!
VODKAMARTINI: Darnassus? You have to be asleep to live there. The last time I was in that purple and green hippie paradise, I gave moody old Fandral several tons of morrowgrain and I still have yet to get that exalted status and tiger he promised me. "Why so serious?" he told me from his pathetic little treeroom ... Hm, this sleeping thing, it's probably related to the druids. Let's focus on the most important things: Me and my company. OK, I'm awake, you're awake, the other employees ... my idiot Sister?
THE MAGE: Well, she does stay in that inn near Ysera's grove in Dragonblight for cloth making ...
VODKAMARTINI: Consider her asleep then, or too busy making cloth for profit. Bitch. The drunk Dwarf death knight?
THE MAGE: She's probably immune, but -
BOTH: She was a drunk paladin when she was converted, and perpetually intoxicated since becoming undead ...
VODKAMARTINI: Probably smashed drinking all of Dalaran's unguarded booze now. Not worth calling up. The Druid stringer? Forget it, she's asleep probably, or wants to get involved with whatever these foolish Elves unleashed. Tyrande's fault probably - if she can't hug it or kill it she doesn't know what to do other than "Malfurion, my lovey dums, wake up and solve my problem!" -pssh. Mage, we're off to Stormwind. Call the rogues on our friends list, find me one that's awake. And trustworthy.
THE MAGE: Are we going to help the Human King in this emergency?
VODKAMARTINI: Hell no! I'm going to loot and pickpocket all the sleeping idiots!
Cataclysm: Gamon, legendary villain of Orgrimmar, made even more elite {WoW}
Nov 13th 2010 12:51AM From the Diary of Gamon
85th Entry (extra amounts of booze and blood spilled on this page)
Woke up this Tuesday with a bad hangover. That's the story of every day actually, since I pissed off some Troll here in Orgrimmar and was cursed with immortality, and later given an open, free tab here at this bar as long as I live (hah - suck it barkeep). Still, I miss being able to kill things instead of being killed. The coyotes, the birds of the old plains ... the most nowadays is some chuckling initiate or peon that comes in thinking I have Thunderfury or the Warglaives of Azzinoth on me. (Who spread that rumor?)
Well, before he took off to fight the elements or whatever he does, Thrall the Warchief came into the place last night. The Warchief! He sought me out. Great, Orgrimmar's No. 1 hombre wants to kick my behind around too. I think everyone in this town has, including him. Some Alliance troops managed to get me pissed and brought me to the Warchief's hall the other night, either he or Garrosh slew me in the chaos -- "Omigod," Eitrigg screamed, "they killed Gamon!" "You bastards!" Vol'jin shouted -- and I woke up back in this bar. I finished my drink and turned to him. He didn't have his fists or blade out.
"You didn't give Eitrigg a coin for me to toss in Dalaran," he said. "Few in the Horde rebuke the offer of the Warchief."
"Well, a fountain wish is kinda stupid. I could use a lot more than tossing my copper in a well I'll never see," I replied.
"Point taken, even if the spirits object," Thrall said, taking the stool next to me. "Gamon, what is best in life?"
I really wanted to say another beer and some peace and quiet so GET THE FRAK OUT OF MY FACE YOU TWO-FACED HUMAN LOVING GREENSKIN, but my still somewhat sober brain said hey, it's his city, his thugs behind me and hell he could give me a favor. For a second, I thought he read my mind, as he smiled, but he let me speak with my mouth.
"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their spirits as you udderbag them," I said, figuring he'd like that warrior schtick. I may be a loser, but I'm not stupid. Don't tell me Cairne doesn't say pretty much the same drivel to impress these hotheaded green savages.
The Warchief laughed and slapped me hard on the back! "That is good! That is good!"
Buying cred from a orc made me bristle. He was six-foot-four and full of muscles. I said in Taur-ahe, "Do you speaka my language?" He just smiled and gave me a Kaja'mite sandwich. And then he said, "I go for the land down under. Where fear does flow and tauren chunder. Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover."
He then offered to buy me a drink - a cola, though I had the barkeep pour some Rumsey Rum Black Label in it -- and gave me some pebbles to mix in it.
"Don't pop rocks and cola make a volatile poison?" I asked, holding the shiny stones above the drink.
"Bro'ham, just shut up and drink the stuff," Warchief Thrall said with a smile. Even though it was a comforting smile and hey, the Warchief was buying me a drink (and staring down some rogue who wanted to gank me), I couldn't help but think it was a trick. I'd pee my leggings, puke all over the bar or have my head pop with foam coming from my snout, all to the laughter of the Horde within the bar. Or worse, I would die like my uncle Rahmoan, busting out the loudest body thunder Kalimdor has ever heard. He died straining over the squat latrine we dug on the mesa many moons ago, the pitiful war cry he screamed and the death thunder that rumbled from his tightened sphincter I will never forget (plus it made us sleep on another hill that night, it was that rank).
I dropped the rocks and watched them fizzle in the cola, and a very ominous looking cloud of smoke came bubbling forth from the froth. "What do these pebbles do?" I said, figuring I might need the knowledge.
"Can see things no one else can see, do things no one else can do!" Thrall said with a shout.
"Real things?"
"As real as Lo'Gosh!"
"Hey what more can a Tauren ask for," I replied.
"The Six Demon Bag!" Thrall added.
"Terrific, a Six Demon Bag. Sensational. What's in it, Warchief?"
"Wind, fire, all that kind of thing. Now drink the medicine!"
I made a toast. "May the wings of liberty never lose a marauder."
The room cheered as I drank. Thrall again said something to me, saying I wouldn't have to worry about being embarassed or whatever for a while. Whatever mate. I was busy trying not to puke the stuff as I felt it bubbling through my chest. If I was a bit more drunk I would've screamed I was having a heart attack, but I knew I'd live through that. I've lived through enough already.
I woke up, Thrall was gone, but he left a note. "Enjoy the new you." Bastard didn't even say goodbye.
I heard a noise. Another rogue, an undead by the smell. Maybe a few dozen seasons in his profession. He was shocked he was heard. More shocked as he looked at me harder. I slugged him once. He sailed across the room and cracked his head on the wall. He died. One shot.
I kinda like the new me.
But now there's several veterans of the Northrend campaign taking a look in the bar, glaring at me. Guess I'll be taking on multiple comers now.
Barkeep, another round!

Elemental invasion phase 2 begins {WoW}
Nov 8th 2010 5:39PM The DalaranStreetJournal.com - "Opulence is everything."
Narcotic Drink Spreading Across Azeroth
Adventurers Warned Not to Imbibe Sapta
DALARAN - Yeager Myster, a Dwarf Paladin, said it was a long time since he battled stone elementals in the name of King Magni Bronzebeard.
"Oi! Some feller by the name of Grayfeather told me it was important! He told me to down some drink and soon enough, I saw me some stone buggers," Meister said.
But according to eyewitnesses and experts, what Meister experienced was an illusion, brought on by an illicit narcotic drink that has its roots in a publically-traded Azeroth enterprise.
Hienonymous Jafo, a Gnome bystander in Ironforge, begs to differ with Meister's claim. "Actually, he was intoxicated after downing some bubbling drink. He was just standing there swatting some flies that were buzzing around him. He happened to imbibe the stuff near a mount rest stop, and some Draenei had just tied his sick Elekk there. Me and my buddies were betting whether that drunk old Dwarf would go footfirst or headfirst into the space elephant barf," Jafo said. "I sure as heck didn't see any elementals."
Gol'esh Neffaryus, Orcish alchemist, warlock and spokesman with the Snapdragon Tea & Juice Company, said the drink Meister used originated with his corporation.
"What he drank was Sapta, and that was originally supposed to be a healthy, non-alcoholic energy drink for rogues made from papaya and pomegranate juices mixed with elemental essences, but one of our eager alchemists who happens to be a shaman claimed his class has a drink by the same name. Since they didn't copyright it, we're seeking to sue the numerous parties misusing our brand name. Needless to say, said shaman employee, disagreed, and decided to further slander our product by releasing a hallucenogenic poison on the streets of Ironforge and Orgrimmar using our brand name," Neffaryus said.
Anyone with information on those dealing Sapta on the street should refuse to drink the stuff and is urged to contact Snapdragon via their website or social networks. A reward will be issued.
"Sell sell sell!"
"Noth's Special Brew, anyone know how to make it?"

"That glow ... It can't be!
What have the fleshlings done to you?
You don't understand me. Don't you remember what we were doing? We were co-workers in the ecodomes, bored, and left to accompany the spell filchers that went into that wretched place the humans call Karazhan. We fled when the energy stored there started corrupting the spell filchers and thieves. I would have joined their ranks if it was not for you.
We fled that place, and headed for another ley line nexus to make a portal back to the Protectorate in Outland, but we were attacked by rotting fleshbags and you dissipated in the mass ... they must have channeled your essence in somehow, or did unspeakable rituals or experiments on your wrappings.
No matter. I am fading, and wish not to join your ranks, but I want to repay my debt to you. This Lich King you serve will corrupt everything he touches, much like the Void and the Burning Legion, who destroyed our world and old forms. He has already started to taint you! Fight whatever control he has on you and prevent him from harming our race! Finish me and swear vengeance for the both of us. Do not forget me and our old homeworld, K'aresh. Now finish the job and teach the Lich King what happens when you stick a bad deal on an Ethereal!"

Epic Sword to be Reissued
BLACKWING LAIR - Evil orcish blacksmiths issued a recall on the Ashkandi, Greatsword of the Brotherhood model today after a serious problem was found by wielders, and will be making a new stronger model of the blade for the upcoming season.
"The redesigned '60s sword will be reissued to warriors and other classes who kept the thing in their pack or bank accounts, but it won't have the new stronger buffs or gemming system," a spokesman for Blackwing Lair said. "We're not yanking it like it's the Sword of a Thousand Truths."
Over the years, many melee fighters have reported cracks and shattered blades in their epic two-handed sword. Dwarf hunter Magnum Sledgehammer said he once used the sword years ago, and recalled it breaking on impact. "Aye, the beautiful eye and dragon hilt, and exaggerated blade. Used it on some bloke that got too close to me onetime, a gnoll, when I was farming ore. Bloody thing snapped off, and the I'm left with this weeping eye," Sledgehammer said. "Pally friend, bless his heart, had the same problem happen with his Ashkandi, cept he used it on a Burning Legion bloke around the Dark Portal back in the day. Anyone sees a Doomguard running around with a broken Ashkandi blade sticking out of his arse, you'll know it was his opponent."
The spokesman for Blackwing Lair said the upcoming model of the sword not only has been redesigned and fixes structural flaws, but it has much better performance numbers, as well as upgradeable gem sockets, reforging options, an air conditioned hilt with leather grip and ports for charging cell phones and MP3 players. A service warranty covering the first 300 kills is also added in.
A new marketing campaign will be issued to adventurers in the coming weeks.
"We have this awesomely sexy poster to promote the new model Ashkandi," said the spokesman, displaying a poster of a naked human covering himself with the new sword. "Our motto boys are still working on the best message: 'Come see my Ashkandi' or 'Don't you want to hold my sword?' We're still undecided."
Jumpy Smashbot, Gnome warrior who has an Ashkandi, said he was impressed with the new design. "Asscandy? Bur! Well, looking at the new design ... smaller, sleeker, still has that dragon handle thing that says I'm a sexy warrior. The eye is less pronounced, but it's more in-line and attached with the blade, which was basically the problem. Jeez, what was old is new again. And I was just getting used to wielding my Glorenzelg," Smashbot said.
The Society of A.L. could not be reached for comment. However, when asked about the sword once awarded for besting him, Nefarian of the Black Dragonflight had a brief statement.
"Really, I don't think they're going to get the new one so easily since we've tweaked the battlerezzing. But as for the recall ... it's only a setback. You get used to it," Nefarian said.

California native and bay area local Inés Beltranena takes her triumphant theatrical folk-rock and combines it with stories and visual art to create one sensory-gratifying product, presented under the name Idea The Artist.
Her new record, "The Northern Lights Are On…" explores the idea that all pain and suffering can ultimately lead to triumph, and culminates, a heart-wrenchingly hopeful collection of songs. Over the course of the eleven compositions that make up The Northern Lights Are On… Beltranena's hauntingly beautiful voice rings out both captivatingly powerful, and delicately finessed, accompanied by lush vocal harmonies and string arrangements, piano, guitars, bass and drums. Produced by Grammy-nominated producer Joby Baker (Alex Cuba, db Clifford) of Baker Studios Ltd in his studio in Victoria, British Columbia, The Northern Lights Are On… introduces a young songwriter and artist realizing her craft with a maturity not heard from performers twice her elder.
In addition to Beltranena's musical talents, she is an accomplished visual artist, and each carefully crafted track from the record is coupled with one of Inés' brightly colored fauvist-expressionistic paintings, pastels or sculptures in the accompanying CD booklet.
Many of these works of art are inspired by her as of yet unreleased illustrated novel, which retells Grimm's Brother's Fairytales and Greek myths and legends in a fashion similar to Gregory Maguire's Wicked, only darker.
Overall, Idea the Artist is a painfully beautiful and inspiring project, which, according to Inés, "should make you want to do nothing less than fly." When asked what it means, Inés explains that to "idea the artist" is to realize that you alone are the creator of your colorful and potentially explosive existence, and that to see this, to know this, and to act on this, is to idea your artist.

What an awesome experience this has been! I even did it twice! I have learned what will make me better. I have improved and I have found the confidence to carry on my dream of not only being an artist but a successful business owner! It was just what I needed! If you are wondering if it will be worth it, just know its MORE than worth it! LOVE ME SOME CHIC CRITIQUE!!"

Before doing a critique with Caralee I was really lacking confidence in my newborn work, just feeling like I was close but not quite where I wanted to be. The critiques I received were exactly what I needed to tweak some things that were bothering me and because it was four weeks I was able to try a new thing after the critique and then come back and ask how I'd done at whatever I'd changed. I wasn't sure what to expect and it ended up being a million times more helpful!

I loved my 4 week critique with Kelli France! It is such an awesome feeling to be able to get feedback on my images from a photographer I admire. I was so excited to take Kelli's advice each week and apply it to my next session–I found her tips to be very helpful. My second week in I signed up for Sarah Lane for January– I LOVE this concept and appreciate that it is priced so budget friendly, I got above and beyond what I expected for the price. Thank you!

I just cannot express enough how much I am enjoying the forum, and learned from my Critique with Laura Winslow Photography..thank you for all of the input, Laura, and the forum for always providing helpful tips, tricks and guests posts.

This [Celebrity Critique] class was so helpful in seeing how to improve my work! I was so excited to have someone I idolize look at my photos. It was like Christmas getting my critique back. I loved it.
Brooke Vanausdal
Chic Critique gave me something that I didn't have before: confidence. When I received Michelle's critique, she gave me little pointers on how to drastically improve my work! It really made me see what I was capable of, and I'm excited to continue improving my work. I now feel confident enough to move forward with my business.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Snoopy!
Facts about Snoopy
- Breed: Dachshund/Beagle Mix
- Color: Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Snoopy's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Please contact Debbie (email@example.com) for more information about this pet.
Snoopy appears to be a dachshund and beagle cross with possibly some boston terrier. He is a small dog who is primarily black in color with a small brindle spot on his side. He is shorthaired, has a very cute face, and is good around animals and people. He is just a sweetheart who wants love and attention. He is talkative, but not a barker - despite his apparent breeds! He will whine to show you how much he loves the attention you're giving him! He has a sweet personality and is very friendly. Snoopy sleeps nicely in his crate in the house at night. He is a quick learner and not too stubborn for his breed! He is a little guy but quite heavy! He's all muscle. He would love a home with children and lots of activity. He would also do well in a quiet home just so he gets plenty of attention!
If you are interested in adopting the dog listed above, please email me (firstname.lastname@example.com) and I will send an adoption application. We can then set up a time to meet and begin the adoption process, which is always in the best interest of both the adoptees and rescue dog(s). Applicants will be screened. Dogs are vaccinated, de-wormed, spayed/neutered, and most will be microchipped prior to leaving for their new home.
The Adoption fee is $150, which helps more rescue dogs, and includes a complementary training session to help you better understand your new companion! This helps so the adoption is more likely to be a success too; however, All Ears will always take a dog back if ever the owner cannot keep their companion. We do our best to find forever homes, but realize sometimes things don't work out. We ask that the dog be returned to All Ears to help lessen the stress on the dog, and ensure the dog be safe from harm or euthanasia. We realize we can't save them all, but do our best to ensure safety and security for the ones we do commit to!
Thank-You for rescuing and saving a life!
Other Pets at All Ears Dog Training
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Snoopy, a Clovis Dachshund/Beagle dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dachshund/Beagle for sale in Clovis, or seeking a Dachshund/Beagle dog from a breeder in Clovis.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Clovis already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Clovis breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Dachshund/Beagle breeders who help with Dachshund/Beagle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Clovis paves the way for another one to be saved.

Gross-out of the day: Hulk Hogan's ex-wife Linda just got engaged to her 21-year-old boyfriend Charlie Hill! And the kicker—he was her son Nick's friend. Linda's daughter Brooke has said the relationship freaks her out. "I personally don't like it at all or condone it, but she's my mom, so I have to show her support," Brooke said. "I went to school with him. He was a grade under me. Me and Nick know him well." They plan on getting married on Linda's new yacht, which is aptly named "Alimoney." I'm not sure which part of this story is worse, but one thing's for sure: this is one inappropriate celebrity engagement! [PopEater]
But for fun, we've rounded up a few others.

I live on 4 acres with my family. Approx. half of the land is wooded and I leave it (the woods) alone for the most part, just watching it each year to see what new plants come in or bloom and watching the wildlife that comes and goes.
I've gardened most of my life. I started out with flower gardens as a child and then switced to vegie gardens in my early adulthood and now I do both. I garden organically, even though it's more work to do it on this land. I think every seed that hits the ground sprouts!
I just hope my kids will learn from me and garden in their adulthood.
