Victoria Beckham) caused quite a ruckus after a pop concert on August 28th, 2001. It was the next day that the problem surfaced... Apparently, the rail-thin singer (if you can call her that) showed up with a pierced lower lip, which was believed to have been done minutes before she took the stage. But the next day, it miraculously disappeared; the lip ring, the hole, all of it. The public soon found out that the ring was just a clip-on... ah, the plot thickens. One distraught and angry fan, Claire Selby, called Posh a cow (huh?) because she had her lip pierced to mimic the star. And now, she claims, she feels like an "idiot." Yeah, I think that about sums it up. Anne and Geena marry, Britney's engaged, Kate divorces... Next Page Wedding Comments Show Comments More Like This Promoted Around the Web Special Features

Being stuck and feeling hopeless creates inertia, inactivity, depression, overwhelm and apathy. Been there? Are there? I have been too, plenty of times. Action is called for. Any action really. Just start movement. Clean the toilet! Take the recyclables to the recycle place. Do the dishes or laundry. Just get your body and energy moving. The bottom-line is — change the energy and whirl of stuck thoughts in your mind. Move into tangible, objective action. How has getting in to action helped you? |

It's a great look at the festival for the uninitiated; and a great-looking and -sounding scrapbook for those who've been. Pickathon coordinator Zale Schoenborn says it "requires good speakers and a beer!" This episode includes performances by Heartless Bastards, Y la Bamba, Blitzen Trapper, Lake Street Dive, Thee Oh Sees, and Los Cojolites. It's great; take a look after the jump, and start getting ready for summer.

The routine is to play 5 games no ads and then winners play winners on the next adjacent court. The goal is to be on Court # 1 (Champion Court) or move towards it. Number the courts consecutively (#1, #, 2, etc.). After all courts have played their 5 games...winners move towards Court # 1 and non-winners move the opposite direction towards the last court.
Priority - hit and have fun. Please bring a can of balls and plenty of water to slug it out!
Please try to be early or on time to save courts for this large group - if possible. These tennis courts are very busy.
Late Comers- You are welcome to join us, but you may be subject to a small waiting period as these courts are very active on the weekends. More courts open up around 10:30 a.m. or so.
P.S. Ball Policy: if you have not opened a can of balls in a long time, please contribute a can of balls to me to be used ONLY for this Saturday meetup group. Thank you.
Levels are approximate: we have all kids of players and we are always able to make they play as long as they want.
We just grab a coffee and speak French. Some people have been coming every week for months... it creates a kind of warmth to the group.

What's the hottest car? A 1994 Honda Accord

Thursday poll: Are you ready to buy a new car?
The sales of new cars boomed in June, with dealers seeing a 22 percent spike. According to the New York Times, the boost in sales is "fueled" (yes, if the NYT can't resist a pun) by dropping gas prices and interest in new car models. That leads us to this week's poll question.

Dome includes magnifying lens. View larger. |
Observe the Metamorphosis Up Close
Eventually, the crawly little larvae will enter the pupae stage, in which they attach themselves to the habitat dome and begin their metamorphoses into adult ladybugs. Insect Lore guarantees at least 10 larvae will grow into adult ladybugs.
Your Very Own Ladybugs
Once the spotted ladybugs emerge, children can have lots of fun feeding them, watching them crawl around, and even carefully removing them and holding them. You can feed your ladybugs raisins that have been plumped in water, or you can feed them aphids from your backyard. The kit comes with a pipette and a watering pad for giving the ladybugs water.
If you receive your ladybug larvae during warmer weather, when temperatures are above 55 degrees, you can experience the excitement of releasing mature ladybugs into the wild. Larvae are available for delivery year-round, so if yours arrive in a colder month, you can keep your fully-grown ladybugs in the habitat for their lifespan. Ladybugs can live for up to a year in the wild, but if you keep them in their habitat, they'll live for about two to three weeks.
Additional mail-in certificates are available for order, so you can reuse Ladybug Land and experience the magic of metamorphosis again and again.
What's in the Box
Ladybug Land observation habitat with magnifying lid and watering pad, pipette, activity guide, full instructions, and mail-in coupon for 15 to 20 ladybug larvae, and food

San Francisco residents and visitors alike can learn more about the history and architecture of this beautiful city as AIA San Francisco sponsors a month of architecture and design activities open to everyone.
LEDs, laser lights, mirrors, and holograms pair with Swarovski crystals at London's Design Museum in order to explore the intersection between the passing fancies of the digital era and the longer-lasting nature of gems and other tangibles.
Asbury Park, Richmond, Miami, Charleston
A nex ehibit Heinz Architectural Center, part of Pittsburgh's Carnegie Museum of Art, breaks down the monolithic classical design of museums and introduces six "gallery" spaces from across the globe.
Architects describe space without buildings, and artists describe space with architectural language in a new exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art that revists Stan Allen's deconstructivist essay from 1996.
Autumn weekends spent strolling through Central Park just got better. Starting Sept. 20, New Yorkers and tourists will have the opportunity to experience the city's famous statue of Christopher Columbus from an entirely different viewpoint thanks to artist Tatzu Nishi and the Public Art Fund.
Richard Ingersoll tours the central pavilion, which features an exhibition designed by director David Chipperfield and installations from Alvaro Siza and Zaha Hadid.
Architects in the '20s designed the largest concentration of skyscrapers in the world, to house most of the U.S. clothing-manufacturing business. An exhibit at New York's Skyscraper Museum explores the transformation from then to today's high-end fashion headquarters.
In the post-9/11 era, there is great potential for airports to be soul-sucking, stressful places. Working hard to make the utilitarian pleasant is Denver's Fentress Architects, which has six of its airports now on exhibit at the Denver Art Museum.
Between now and Sept. 16, anyone who walks through the Neutra VDL Research House in Los Angeles will experience Architectones, a collection of site-specific sculptures designed in response to the iconic house and its owner/architect.

Without influx of immigrants, Twin Ports would have lost residents in recent years
A growing number of foreign-born people are calling the Northland home these days. And were it not for an influx of immigrants, the Duluth-Superior metropolitan area would have seen its population erode between 2000 and 2010.
Our story of immigration driving population growth is far from unique, according to a recently released study by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.

Patch 4.2: A Complete Guide to Stage Two of the New Dailies
2011/06/18 at 8:02 PM
Don't forget to check out our guide to phase one of the new daily quests, available right here on Wowhead News!
Patch 4.2: A Complete Guide to Stage One of the New Dailies
Now that many of you have been introduced to the daily quests available from the
Guardians of Hyjal
faction at the new quest hubs implemented with patch 4.2, we've put together a handy guide to the next phase of daily quests, which is unlocked upon obtaining 20
Mark of the World Tree
and completing
Calling for Reinforcements
. This phase brings the counterattack even further into Ragnaros' domain, as the Guardians of Hyjal's forces move into the the
Molten Front
via a new portal spawned in Hyjal, and set up their operations at Malfurion's Reach.
At the Sanctuary of Malorne, Arch Druid Hamuul Runetotem gives you the quest
, asking you to find and slay the deadly Druid of the Flame,
. Upon heading over to her location in Hyjal and after an unpleasant exchange of words, she fatally wounds the Arch Druid and ensnares you in
Smoldering Roots
. She quickly makes an escape and you are left with the fallen Arch Druid, whose body is recovered and brought to
Upon returning to Malfurion Stormrage with the news of Hamuul's demise, he will give you a new quest,
Through the Gates of Hell
and the portal to the
Molten Front
will become available. Travel through the portal into Malfurion's Reach and assist the Guardians of Hyjal in slaying the massive
Obsidian Slaglord
present. Watch your feet, because the giant uses an ability called
Obsidian Devastation
, which will spawn pools of lava from which giant obsidian spikes will rise (and deal massive damage to anyone foolish enough to stand above). Upon completion of this quest, you will gain access to new daily quests.
You will now be able to complete a total of six new phase 2 daily quests. You can still complete the phase 1 quests, as well, which are available at the Sanctuary of Malorne, so you will still be able to earn the
Mark of the World Tree
from them each day - and you're going to need them! Malfurion asks that you recruit the aid of another faction - either the
Druids of the Talon
The Shadow Wardens
, and doing so will require turning in a whopping 0
Mark of the World Tree
per faction!
Each day, you will receive the following
Aggressive Growth
Wisp Away
Burn Victims
Hostile Elements
You will also receive
of the following quests:
Breach in the Defenses
The Dogs of War
The Harder They Fall
Traitors Return
This will give you a total of four quests to complete in the
Molten Front
each day. You will now also be able to pick up new quests at the Sanctuary of Malorne, back in
Mount Hyjal
. The quest
The Protectors of Hyjal
is now available, asking you to travel to Sethria's Roost with a squad of NPCs to battle six elite mobs. The mobs are challenging but the NPCs are extremely helpful, and you may even see a famous face in the mix!
In addition, a new set of quests can be unlocked once you have passed through the
Molten Front
portal. Upon returning through it to the Sanctuary of Malorne and speaking with
, she will give you a new quest,
The Fate of Runetotem
. Return to
Dorda'en Nightweaver
and this will unlock a new set of daily quests, one of which will be available each day.

Littlest Pet Shop: A Guide to Vanity Pets
2011/06/11 at 1:49 PM
With new rewards for obtaining 100, 125, and 150 pets in 4.2, there's been a lot of talk on how to get those few remaining elusive pets. Many players stopped after collecting 75, as there were no more incentives. Well, in 4.2 there are three new pet rewards as shown in
our video last week
, as well as several more from Firelands, so it's time to start collecting again. (Edit: We've updated the guide for 4.3 and there are even more with the Darkmoon Faire.) Some pets are easily obtainable from questing, vendors, and achievements. Others may take some time and luck to farm up. We've got it all organized and covered for you though, so you should be able to get 150 pets easily!
Here's a
complete list
of pet companions one can obtain. As you can see, there's a good deal more than the 150 needed, but some are no longer obtainable or cost money from the Trading Card Game. You can keep track of pets on our very own Character Profiler;
Warcraft Pets
is also a great resource, as well as in-game addons like Collectinator.
Here's all the pet-related achievements as of 4.3:

We've organized the pets by how you can obtain them: achievements, Argent Tournament, Hyjal, Blizzard, quests, guild perks, zone-specific drops, and more! With the addition of the
Satchel of Exotic Mysteries
and Call to Arms in PUGs, a fair number of pets can be obtained through this path as well--provided you get lucky, and can tank or heal.
From easy to difficult, there are achievements rewarding the player with cool pets. You get achievement points

Patch 4.2: A Complete Guide to Stage One of the New Dailies
2011/06/06 at 5:22 AM
Patch 4.2 introduces a completely new daily quest hub and provides an excellent new direction for dailies. The only downside is that some of the quests are so enjoyable while others aren't half as cool; it creates a stark contrast of dailies that feel like fun and others that feel like a chore. Still, it's a lot better than other daily hubs of yesteryear and the rewards are much better. Our volunteers (Neutronimity and ArgentSun) plus myself have been doing the dailies every day, so we have a series of guides in the works for you!
The first stage of the Firelands Invasion serves as an introduction to the current events of Hyjal. The Guardians of Hyjal have made a call for all heroes to join them in their effort to protect Hyjal from Ragnaros' armies and to push the battle back to the Firelord's domain. Each stage of this effort in pushing them back becomes a stage of dailies to unlock. If your character hasn't completed the zone prior, you will first be asked to assist the four Ancients of Mount Hyjal. Only after this is done will you be able to join everybody else in their war against the Firelands.
As it's usual with PTR content, keep in mind that while there is a good chance that the content presented here will remain mostly unchanged on the live servers, it will probably not stay completely unchanged.

Shifty Hands: A Guide to Picking Pockets
2011/06/04 at 7:48 AM
Pick Pocket
, for the less-agile and uninitiated, is a unique ability allowing rogues in stealth to loot special items from hostile mobs without entering combat. If done sloppily, it can aggro mobs, annoy your party members, and make you look pretty clumsy. If done correctly (and with enough bag space), you can amass a collection of unique items, and if you're lucky, some epics inside of a lockbox. There's a lot of mundane objects in the pockets of Azeroth, but one's trash is another's treasure--you might find something amusing like a trashy novel or loaded dice.
This is a guide using Wowhead's vast database to show you every fun item you can pickpocket in World of Warcraft. Either for vanity item collections or just to send your friend something fun, this list will help you rediscover Azeroth and more.

Get Ready for WoW's 7th Anniversary: A Guide to Collecting Tabards
2011/05/14 at 8:56 PM
WoW's 8th Anniversary
datamined on the PTR, it's time to give tabards another look. If this goes live, it appears that for this year's anniversary you can transform the appearance of your tabard, possibly into ones you've previously obtained. And even if this goes the way of the dance studio, it's still a good time to brush up on available tabard options with the new achievement
Thirty Tabards
in patch 4.1.
This guide is organized by tabards that were introduced in each expansion as well as the means for obtaining them. When changing factions, many tabards will convert accordingly as we've noted below. Also, if you destroy some tabards (PvP, BC reputation, select achievement rewards), they can be obtained again from
Tabard Vendors
in major cities. Some rare tabards cannot be replaced and we've noted them as such. Other common tabards for Wrath/Cataclysm are cheap and you can simply buy them back for a few silver from their respective quartermasters.

Patch 4.2: Lord Rhyolith PTR Strategies and Preview
2011/05/12 at 9:44 PM
Today on PTR we got some time with the newly renamed
Lord Rhyolith
. He's a well-tuned encounter and one we preferred to yesterday's boss,
. Some of his mechanics were refreshing, particularly in the way you actually controlled him, and we managed to test both phases of the fight thoroughly. If you've done
, you'll find some elements from those bosses borrowed and rehashed with
Lord Rhyolith
Phase one starts out different from most fights as there is no need to tank him. He ambles around slowly and does not attack directly; instead, the real threat is where he intends to walk. Consequently, you'll need to steer him where you want him to path by attacking his left and right legs--applying DPS to the leg in which direction you want him to turn. We found it best to only have two or three melee on him at most communicating on ventrilo where they wanted him to turn and calling out switches. There is also a bar on the screen the indicates how much in the respective direction Rhyolith will be turning to help you out.
Your immediate goal in steering him is to make sure that he stays on the island itself; if he gets to close to the edges, he'll begin to drink the surrounding lava which results in potentially deadly raid damage from
Drink Magma
Your secondary goal is to make sure that he is being led in the path of active volcanoes that crop up over time. Each time he walks over one, he will stomp on it, which removes stacks of
Obsidian Armor
and gives him
Molten Armor
instead. He starts the fight with 80 stacks of
Obsidan Armor
and the goal is to remove them all so you can DPS him down to trigger phase two. Don't worry much about
Molten Armor
he gains in exchange as he loses a stack whenever he casts a spell or summons an add.
As he is being steered around successfully in phase one, the ranged DPS, healers, and the tank handle the adds he summons.
Lord Rhyolith
spawns two types of adds:
Fragments of Rhyolith
. He spawns these in an alternating pattern so you will never have two types of adds up at the same time, making this a single tank fight.
begin with a debuff called
. When it expires, it does their remaining HP as AoE damage to the entire raid. As such, it's best to just AoE them down with ranged.
The other adds hit harder; a single
spawned each time with an
aura, ticking for a base 10,000 fire damage to those within its range. The tank would pull it off to the corners of the island to tank it away from the ranged. It was important to have the ranged focus down the
as it contributed to too much raid damage and also took up space where the melee couldn't steer the boss because of their ground AoE.
As mentioned earlier, throughout the fight active volcanoes spawn periodically. They put a stacking debuff on the raid that increases fire damage taken called
. This debuff won't stop stacking until the volcanoes are dealt with and they make the damage the raid takes be quite severe as they buff all of it. You can easily wipe if it stacks to high. In addition, he casts
Concussive Stomp
time to time which hurts even more with the debuff. Volcanoes also shoot lines of magma across the zone which then flare up and become walls of lava. They hit hard and knock you up in the air, but are easy to avoid.
Lord Rhyolith
transitions into phase two after dipping to a low enough percentage, his model changes and the tank must pick him up. He also gains an
aura similar to the one the
adds had. This ticks for a default 8,500 and affects the whole raid. However, if he has
Molten Armor
stacks, he will hit for more. If you recall, he gained these stacks in exchange for losing
Obsidan Armor
ones and they are removed whenever he casts things. Ideally, you don't want it to be on him when you phase transistion if possible so try to time it when you push him into phase two (i.e. wait for him to summon a spark or cast
Flame Stomp
before you do the final percentage). This is the entire rest of the phase--dealing with the damage from his AoE and burning him down before it overwhelms your healers.
Overall, it was a fun fight and more dynamic than usual. Steering him took a few wipes to learn and it was still easy to make a mistake on. The fight wouldn't be hard to PUG, either, if the melee who were assigned to steering him knew what to do. As such, he seemed significantly easier than the fight from yesterday and way less of a gear check. We also have some more gorgeous screenshots up to show you Firelands below.

Patch 4.2: Beth'tilac PTR Strategies and Preview
2011/05/11 at 11:18 PM
The PTR was open today for testing on Firelands 10-man and we were able to get some time with
. Unfortunately the US servers got a lot less time with this boss than EU and we only got eight or so attempts in before the server was shut down.
is the spider boss
first previewed by Blizzard
at the end of April. She ended up being a fairly simple fight. Of course, as usual for the PTR, she was untuned and will most likely change in the future. The encounter has two easily defined phases: the first is a kiting phase, the second is a burn phase. For phase one, you split into groups for below her web and on top of it; for phase two, everyone groups up underneath her web and you must kill her before her increasing damage is too high while dealing with a debuff similar to
Mortal Wound
Overall, it's a fun introductory fight and seems to serve well as a gear check for the zone.

Master Shapeshifters: A Guide to Character Disguises
2011/05/07 at 6:19 PM
Everyone's favorite shapeshifting item is a Druid, hands down. But what if you want something a little more uncommon? Perhaps you're looking for a fun disguise to use on boss-kill screenshots, or you're just not that interested in trolls and would rather farm something else. How's turning into a fish sound? A huge bug? A neon rock? Maybe you just want to be surrounded in a purple swirly shield instead? Whatever you're interested in turning into, it probably exists in-game and we have it all laid out for you.
This guide breaks it down into playable race, creature, and object disguises, as well as items that give your character special effects. We've further organized these items by means of acquisition and noted some items that work while mounted or shapeshifted. Not all of these items will work in every zone, but they're all interesting.

Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest Legendary Staff Quest Guide
2011/05/06 at 6:13 PM
Latest datamining
of the 4.2 PTR has revealed quite a few new quests, including Hyjal daily quests and (most importantly) new quests related to the
Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest
questline! We've put together a guide to the quest chain (as it currently exists) detailing the challenge players will have to undertake in order to complete this truly legendary adventure! There aren't very many details on the sources for the various quest items that will drop in
, though Blizzard has stated that the quests will be challenging for the entire guild involved (which is why they'll all get that cute
Lil' Tarecgosa
)! It may be similar to creation of the
in that Heroic-difficulty kills will have a higher chance of dropping the required items, though it
require the guild to run 25-player content as before.
Not very many details have been revealed about the staff item itself, though Blizzard has confirmed that the stats and bonuses will favor offensive casters (DPS). They have also confirmed that the staff will feature the incredible effect of changing your character into a dragon. No details yet on how exactly this is going to work (whether it will be for flying purposes, or combat) but an interesting spell discovered in our
PTR database
might provide some hint:
Presence of Tarecgosa
. Perhaps an
Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian
"aura" effect granted to friendly raid members upon the staff's transformation effect? This spell was nestled in with the new
Tier 12 set bonuses
so, of course, this could just be something related to the quest chains, but hey -- nothing better to do now than speculate, right?
Read on for full details regarding the quest chain as it currently exists on the 4.2 PTR! Unfortunately, it does not appear that all quests have been added so we'll most likely be posting an update in a future PTR build, so stay tuned! Don't forget, you can check out the full Blizzard preview
right here

Children's Week (May 1 - 7) Guide, Including 4.1 Changes
2011/04/29 at 10:07 AM
It's been a while since a holiday has gotten a serious rehaul, but
Children's Week

This year the event features a redone quest chain for the initial leg of quests that take place in Azeroth, inviting you and your orphan to tour the changes Cataclysm has wrought.

Additionally, there are two new rewards for those pet collectors:
