Yeah, I couldn't kill heroic LK at 5.4 release with Prot (or, rather, I didn't kill him... I hit the enrage and stopped trying). Switching to ret required some practice, but made it doable. With heroic gear levels/4pc, ret destroys HLK25.
Regarding Prot: From what I hear (don't know) berserk is actually your savior, as with gear (again, gear) you can survive through his enrage which will give you enough vengeance to kill the boss. Def. not doable like in 5.3 though.
Total 280 solo-kills on 2 DKs, 1 Warrior, 1 Shaman, 1 Druid and 14 Paladins over last 12 months.
Fuck your rng, Blizzard.
i got mine on my 30th kill on my paladin (ret ofc).
For quite long time also was doing it only in ret, faster. Year ago was impossible
Bleh, struggling to get health up after first transition so that I don't get stomped by the Infest. Freaking out during transition with spirits, ice sphere management, and healing up, there's so little time to dps the boss it feels like.

If you are ret just go out to the outside and single target down the spirits 1 by 1 and just chain AM / DP and keep that EF up.
Will give that a try. I've gotten to 2nd Transition a couple times, but then I run into the problem of not enough healing to top off Infest and getting rocked by it because I can't catch up aside from a LoH. Still rocking 502 and 496 Str/haste trinkets, which aren't bad but not great, and 502 bracers. Tried Ret a few times before, Shambling Horrors were still taking a bit too long to kill with SoI for healing. More practice + more gear and I know I can get it down.

Thx for the topic. It helped me kill LK today in 25hc. I was surprised it was harder than I would believe based on the topic. Multiple times I died to berserk (at 39%, 19%, 16%) for instance. Today I managed to get into Roleplay. This happened at 16% (surprise to me..). I was also utterly lucky I didn't get launched by an Ice Sphere. I got hit by one, but ended on the edge of the platform. I had already typed on my guild chat that I failed, but I had to get back to work since I lived...
I have a log of the kill.
www warcraftlogs com / reports / vy97kcxWqbGjB8T1 / #fight=1&type=damage-done [remove the spaces and add . in the first part of the url]
It lists this attempt at wipe. There are two wipes, one before the RP and one after. As you can see I had to survive berserk for a short bit. I clicked all my CDs at once to survive (knewing my vengeance would be through the roof if I survived). Healing in that part was tough with the silences.
Few points I found a problem:
- using TidyPlates to ignore all name plates except boss and ice sphere. still didn't manage.
- doing enough damage.. with my standard prot pally build I couldn't do enough damage.
I changed/used the following:
- reduce hit and expertise from standard SoO values to minimal)
- reduce haste to 28% or so and go from 7-8 % crit to double.
- use whatever dps trinkets I had: Timeless isle 535+8 and 528 Skeer trinket (strength + crit proc). Not optimal, but I had nothing else.
- dropped tier16 4 piece (head slot was sadly 528+8) and switched to 548 Flex head item with capacitance legendary
- legendary cloak
- used DPS flask / haste food / Kings buff / Mogu potion
- strength of wrynn was active
I hope you can learn from my logs a bit. All went well. Soaked all in P1. Transition went well. P2 avoided some of the defiles. Waited as long as I felt safe before throwing in consecrate and here and there a hammer for AOE dmg to kill the adds you have to kill to avoid dying. Transition went almost wrong (survived an ice sphere), but I recovered. Found the periods between transitions into frostmourne difficult. Had to use frostmourne period to heal up actually. LK berserked when I was in. I immediately used all CDs when I came out and started dps'ing + throwing whatever EF I could proc through silence. Based on logs I think I was a bit too early with Kings. LK was probably in a bit of RP announcing his berserk or whatever.
Happy with this kill, but was not happy it was more difficult than expected. Though I was severely overgeared, but that felt like not the case.
My stats: used 560 ilvl gear with above mentioned trinkets/legendary items. Weapon was SoO Normal/+8. My build is currently stored on Rynion of EU-stormrage. About 23% mastery / 27 % haste / 17 % crit.
Happy hunting.

Roleplay seem to play at ~15-16%, but its their crude fix for ppl that namaged to kill him in groups before he was immune to death or for noobs that left him on 1hp and tirion finished him off before they accepted terenas' rez (im one of those ). He heals for 5% hp when you die.
If you're undergeared you can always try to pop everything for berserk and zerg him down (managed to do this on 540dru, 540dk and 530 pala before got the mount), 1M regular hits and EF ticks for 100% hp make things go way faster
And when was this? Didn't see my EF go through the roof when LK was smashing my face in after berserk. Nor my dps. I could barely keep standing in berserk.
So.. This new 5% heal is a basket of fun.
Terenas never came, so now I have to do it all again.
Edit: Turns out, I zoned back in to 15% still alive... Got to 1hp, and he wouldn't die due to forever channeling Raise Dead. If this happens to you, just kill all the ads left on the platform. I had 4 shambling horrors. Kill them, and then the transition will do its thing.
As a result of this incident, I am now getting Fordring killed.

Arlington loses to Mead in 4A championship game
Almost all of the intangibles that got the Arlington Eagles to Saturday night's 4A girls state championship game, were the things that were missing in order to give them a shot at bringing home the title.
Turnovers and missed shots plagued the Eagles as Mead outlasted a gritty Arlington effort with a 58-42 victory, claiming the state championship.
The Eagles came out with high energy to start the game, but the shots weren't falling. Senior guard Krista Showalter missed a couple of lay ups, freshman Jayla Russ missed everything on her first three-point attempt and Mead took advantage, building an early 10-4 lead.
Russ banked in a three-pointer late in the quarter to keep it close and the Eagles trailed 12-7 after one.
In the second quarter the Eagles appeared to settle down. With the Panthers up 14-7, senior guard Taylor Grahm made the first of her four 3s to trim the deficit to four. Moments later Grahm struck again, he second three cut the Panthers lead to 16-13.
"Here is what I tell Taylor Grahm all the time, 'shooters shoot,'" Marsh said. "And we needed her to shoot the ball tonight and she came out and was aggressive and looked for her shots."
But Mead didn't get to be the No. 1 ranked team in state by accident. The Panthers responded with a 13-3 run, capped off by scoring the final eight points of the second quarter to take a 29-16 lead at halftime.
Besides the one three by Russ and the two by Grahm, the Eagles had only one other field goal in the first 16 minutes and shot just 4-for-19 from the field (21.1 percent).
"Baskets are at a premium this time of year," Arlington head coach Joe Marsh said. "Against a team like Mead, my goodness, you have to put the ball in the basket – because when you don't they do."
Marsh couldn't have been more right. While the Eagles were struggling, the Panthers were taking advantage. Mead shot 11-for-24 (45.8 percent) in the first half highlighted by Ashlyn Lewey's eight points on a perfect 4-for-4 shooting.
"Pretty soon you look up and you are down 10 because they make shot after shot," Marsh said. "They shot lights out tonight."
Missed shots by the Eagles and made shots by the Panthers weren't the only storyline. Turnovers also cost Arlington dearly. The Eagles had 12 by halftime and finished the game with 18.
Showalter and Lindsay Brown, the senior leaders on the team, had just two points between them and shot a combined 1-for-8 in the first half. Brown, the team's leading scorer was scoreless in the first 16 minutes.
Showalter proved that she had the ability to beat Mead's star senior Jade Redmon off the dribble, beating her five times in the first two quarters. But when Showalter got to the rim, she had trouble finishing the play.
"Krista is just a phenomenal point guard," Marsh said. "When the ball is in her hands she gets by people and she usually finishes at the rim and if she doesn't than she will find open people."
Marsh said Showalter's aggressiveness was a key to keeping the Eagles in the game.
Russ struggled as well. The freshman who has burst on the scene in the postseason scored 18 points in the Eagles overtime semifinal win over Lake Stevens, was in foul trouble for much of the first half, keeping her from having a big impact on the game.
"It (the fouls) just affects the flow of the game," Marsh said. "I just feel bad for the girls. It's just tough in a game of this magnitude, I just want to play basketball and let them play basketball and let it be decided by that.
"It is what it is. There is nothing you can do about it."
Brown wasted little time getting her first points and sparking the Eagles in the third quarter. Mead started the half with possession, but Brown came up with a steal and took the ball coast-to-coast drawing a foul. Brown made both free throws to cut the deficit to 11.
It was a great start to the second half for the Eagles, but it wouldn't last. The Panthers methodically wore down the Eagles in the third and took a 46-29 lead after three quarters.
As the Eagles have done all season, they continued to fight. Arlington opened the fourth quarter on a 10-2 run to make it a game, but Mead was too strong down the stretch closing the game on a 10-3 run.
"I don't know what the weakness of that team is, but we didn't find it," Marsh said.
After the game, Marsh was happy with the way his team represented the school.
"The Hallmark of this team is that we just don't quit," he said. "These kids have battled all year long. It's one of the things that we take pride in. They just never go away."

A motorcycle driver was transported Friday to Clinton Memorial Hospital with what law enforcement called serious head injuries.
The injured male driver was not wearing a helmet at the time of the wreck on U.S. 68 north of Wilmington, according to Sgt. Bryan Cook of the Wilmington post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
The name of the injured man was not immediately available at the scene after the 6 p.m. Friday evening incident.
The accident occurred as a group of motorcycles traveled southbound on U.S. 68 North, coming up to the intersection with Orchard Road, said Cook.
The motorcyclists slowed down to make the left turn onto Orchard Road. The injured driver was riding the last motorcycle in the line of motorcycles, the sergeant said.
The driver laid his motorcycle down, striking one of the other motorcycles, added Cook. The driver of the last motorcycle was ejected from his vehicle.
Though the incident remains under investigation, Cook said the injured driver might have been following too closely or it could have been a case of driver inattention.
"But we do know the motorcycles did slow down. He was the last one in the group of motorcycles, laid it down and did strike one of the other motorcycles," said Cook.
Speed is not believed to have been a factor, said the trooper.

Pentagon tears down final barrier for women in combat
Friday - 1/25/2013, 5:15am EST
The Pentagon eliminated the last big policy barrier keeping female service members from serving in the occupation of their choice Thursday. But the changes won't be immediate, and implementing them will take a lot of careful study by the military services.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Martin Dempsey said the decision was a policy recognition of what's been actually happening in reality over more than 10 years of war: Women have been serving on the front lines, fighting and dying with their male counterparts, even if they've been excluded from serving in certain jobs
Secretary Leon Panetta, Department of Defense
"Let me be clear: We're not talking about reducing qualifications. But if they can meet the qualifications for the job, they should have the right to serve, regardless of creed, color, gender or sexual orientation," Panetta said.
Dempsey said he and the chiefs of the military services came to the conclusion that it was time to change the calculus the military previously has used when it comes to gender. Instead of asking why women should be allowed to serve in certain positions, the military services now will have to prove that they shouldn't.
"It reverses the paradigm," he said. "It's going to take a lot of careful analysis, but if we're going to keep one closed [to women], we're going to have to explain why.
Fundamentally, we will always have to be the most ready force we can possibly be. I don't know how it's all going to sort out. But I'm eager to begin the journey."
No more restricted positions
The policy Dempsey and Panetta signed Thursday undoes a 1994 Pentagon decree that banned women from positions "direct ground combat." On paper, 238,000 positions that until now were explicitly restricted to men are now open to women.
Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff
But the changes will not be immediate. The military services have until May to deliver implementation plans to the Panetta and Dempsey, and they have until 2016 to ask the Pentagon for exemptions to the policy for certain jobs.
They'll have to justify those exemptions, however, and create training and physical fitness standards that pertain directly to jobs rather than gender.
Dempsey said he and the military branch chiefs believe firmly that there are women who will meet even the toughest standards, such as those required by the military's special operations components.
"But the other part of the equation is that in order to account for their success, we've got to have enough of them so that they have mentors and leaders above them," he said. "You wouldn't want to take one woman who meets the standard and put her in a particular unit. Where's her ability to have upward mobility and compete for command if she's one of one? So, we have to work both the standards and the critical mass in order to make this work. But that's our commitment."
Because of the need to make sure there are cadres of female service members in the newly-opened career fields, the military services probably won't say yes to every woman who wants to serve in one of the previously-excluded combat positions, at least not right away.
"Just because the recruiting base can bring them in one at a time doesn't mean that's the way to bring them in," said Gen. Robert Cone, the commander of the Army's Training and Doctrine Command. "The models say you need to bring them in in groups of at least four and keep them together. You have to have other women role models in the organization."
Test run showed good results
But finding those role models inside today's Army shouldn't be too hard a task, Cone said. It may simply be a matter of taking battle-hardened female soldiers who've already been on the front lines and reassigning them into roles that were technically off-limits for them until now.
"It's not like when West Point opened to women, where we had to start at the bottom up and grow from there. This is different," he said. "You can take a sergeant who's a truck mechanic who already is a fantastic non-commissioned officer, and give her a different skill set. Then she can be a great role model for a new private entering the Army."
Gen. Robert Cone, commander, Army's Training and Doctrine Command
Last year, the Army began introducing women into previously-excluded jobs on a trial basis. Cone said the results were overwhelmingly positive, but that Army surveys paint a clear picture: soldiers don't want the end of the combat exclusion policy to lower their training standards. And similarly, women who'd like to serve in combat jobs don't want the standards to be lowered just for them.
But creating new, common standards that apply to both women and men may actually raise the bar, he said.
"We probably have men right now who are not carrying their share of the weight right now," Cone said. "This is an opportunity in terms of talent management. We need to get the right people into the right places. We have to be able to tell soldiers, 'Look, we're not making things up so that you can't get in here.' We expect to be challenged on this."
Standards according to mission, not gender
The Pentagon's guiding principles say the baselines can't be drawn so narrowly that they're not simply a backdoor way to exclude women. Cone said the Army will create the standards according to mission, not according to gender.
Dempsey said the joint chiefs agreed unanimously to move forward with the abolition of the combat exclusion policy. Like Cone, he thinks it will improve the military as a whole, not just the career prospects of female service members.
"I graduated from West Point in 1974. It was an all-male institution then. I went back to teach at West Point in 1984, and by then it had become better in almost every way," he said. "Secondly, we've had this ongoing issue with sexual assault and sexual harassment. I believe it's because we've had separate classes of military personnel. It's far more complicated than that, but when you have one part of your workforce that's designated as warriors and another part that's designated as something else, I think that disparity begins to establish a psychology that led to that environment. I think the more we can treat people equally, the more likely they are to treat each other equally."

When Britney came to the ASPCA through the Humane Law Enforcement department, she was in pain and suffering from multiple untreated conditions.
Fortunately, the veterinary staff at the ASPCA's Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital was able to nurse Britney back to health, and eventually she became available for adoption; we could finally find a home for this sweet dog who had suffered so much.
We knew it would be a challenge.
Statistically speaking, animals who are black, large or senior, as well as those who take medication or can't live with other animals, usually spend more time waiting for homes. Britney was all of these things, and to make matters worse, she didn't engage much with adopters who passed her habitat, preferring to rest quietly.
Still, we knew that the right person would come for Britney, and to speed things along, we spread the word about this special canine. After seeing Britney's picture and reading about her, Kevin Bechard tells us, "I wanted to snatch her right up."
A few days later Bechard was going above and beyond to help Britney settle in to her new home in suburban Connecticut.
"The first couple nights I actually slept on the floor with her because she can't do stairs, and she would just reach out with her paw and make sure it was against me," he recalls. "Only then she would allow herself to go to sleep. If I moved away a little bit, her eyes would open."
The love and comfort of a forever home has revived Britney, who has blossomed into a trusting and happy pup: Bechard reports that at his house Britney loves romping outdoors and goes on multiple nature walks a day.
In return, Bechard has gained a new best friend who, he says, never required house-training or manners instruction, thanks to her age. "I wish more people would consider older dogs," Bechard says. "I was open to anything, but I was so pleasantly surprised."
Kevin, our congrats to you and Britney for a wonderful match. I wholeheartedly agree that SR dogs have a great deal to offer us, the "rescuer". Some years ago I adopted a 12 Y/O, profoundly deaf, 4-toothed, Mill-girl, Maltese. Named her Kate, after Kate Hepburn. Of all the rescues in my 60+ year life, Kate taught me more about trust, grace, and dignity than any other experience in my life. She lived to be 17, which in Mill-Mom years is a miracle. Her secret: She learned to love life. I wish you and your "Wonder-Girl" a long and happy life together. Buddy and Dolly (Mill-mom) are nodding in agreement.
Kevin, thank you so much for adopting an "old dog" - I have a 13 year old Rott/Char Pei mix, and he is the love of my life. He suffers from hip dysplasia, he's had TPLO surgery on one leg, and menicisus repair on the other, he suffers from insulin-dependent diabetes (injection, twice a day) diabetic neuropathy, and has gone blind. But he loves me, he's happy, he eats, has no accidents (even if he did, I wouldn't care) and he is the best companion I've ever had. Older dogs are the best.
Thank you sooo much for giving Britany a chance and just to let you know your a special person may GOD BLESS THE BOTH OF YOU !!!
Thank God for people like Kevin who have the compassion to help a dog like Britney.
You sir have done the Clan Bechard proud! We love our two lab mixes as much as you do yours. Britney has a male doppleganger named Frankie who is younger but looking at your beautiful girl we know how Frankie will look once he is a happy and healthy mature dog. You, sir, rock!
Bless you Kevin. So glad you found her and she you... Love and peace to you both.
Well done Kevin! I also adopted a stray collie x from our local shelter after losing my beloved white boxer after 11 years. Jessie has filled the void and I adore her, although a piece of my heart will always be with Nobby.
I love the story of Britney. Such a beautiful story of love that animals give and humans reacting to unselfish love. Sleeping on the floor with Britney on the first nights and how the dog reacted, almost brought me to tears.
Hey Kevin that is just great. Im glad you adopted Britney. She looks like a great dog. I have a dog and cats. Good luck with her

Proof that American imperialism isn't always a bad thing, the Arnold Palmer is a good example of American ingenuity. I first came across this drink just a few years ago, when reading A Passion for Ice Cream by Emily Luchetti. She talked about this mysterious drink with an off-beat name, one named after a famous pro golfer, which was said to be his favorite post-golf drink, a mixture of iced tea and lemonade.
I don't know much more about the origin of this drink because I'm sitting in my office (above, right) and don't have access to my usual arsenal of resource materials. But it really is the perfect beverage for lounging on the beach getting some work done. The ice tea is a good way to perk up and the lemonade tempers it with a bit of sweetness and citrusy tang, thanks to the juice of fresh lemons.

Why Take Enzymes?
Plant-based enzymes help break down and digest food into individual nutrients so they can be properly absorbed through the lining of the small intestine.‡ Poor diet and rapid eating can cause incomplete breakdown of food. In addition, some people do not produce enough digestive enzymes. Without the enzymes needed for proper digestion, the body may not be able to digest and absorb valuable nutrients. Most people can benefit from taking a digestive enzyme with every meal, as it may help maximize the nutrient intake from food.‡
DigestMORE Ultra is an advanced plant-sourced enzyme blend that contains a high potency of 14 digestive enzymes specifically targeted to support the breakdown of a broad range of foods and nutrients to maximize digestion and nutrient absorption.‡ Renew Life uses an advanced enzyme blending process for the protease, lipase, amylase, and cellulase in our enzyme formulas. This means we use a fusion of up to three different strains of each of these enzymes to increase the potency of the formula. This multi-strain blending ensures that our enzymes are active over the wide range of pH levels found in the human digestive system for more complete digestion.‡

Review by digestivereview
This is an extremely effective product. I have not come across anything better from any of the various brands out there. Digestmore ultra is among the best in this category of product. Digestmore is also very good, but as noted by renewlife not as powerful. Great product!

Review by Finding satisfaction
Thanks Renew Life,
I statred with your cleanz products then stated the Probiotics on Critical Omega and then added in Fibre Smart capsules. I still have a bit of bloating, and also gas, not to mention acid reflux. I just bought this bottle just befroe Christmas and have been taking it for about a week and I have found that it has pretty much eliminated my symptoms. I think it is important to analyze al of th eproducts well before taking anything and for a few people that did not achieve the results perhaps needed a different formula. For Christmas I bought many Renew Life items as stocking stuffers becasue I beleive that it has really helped and I want other to feel better too. Thank again!

Review by Missyclrs
I absolutely love this supplement! I was having a tough time digesting basically anything I would consume. I always felt like there was a knot in my tummy and it was so uncomfortable. Now, I don't get that feeling. I take 2 before each meal and no issues arise. Definitely glad found these little life savers!
Diet/health/probiotics | (Posted on 9/27/13)
Review by Raine
As I read through the comments I realize that if you have these symptoms, your diet needs to improve drastically. Once one moves to a vegan diet, there is no need to take probiotics. I am a Raw Vegan and I no longer have digestive problems. I bought this product because I have a surgery and will be stuck with hospital food. I was disappointed in the product didn't notice anything. There are some WAY better probiotics out there if you do the research or ask your local health food store about some award winning probiotics. However, I know that every person's body is different. I am so happy to read the comments from the people that this worked for!

I have used Digest More Ultra for many years to assist me in the digestion of my food. Initially I started taking it because I began suffering from irritable bowel and acid reflux. It totally stopped that. Then i began noticing that it had an added benefit of allowing me to drop a few pounds as well. This product is wonderful and I consider it an essential item for my daily routine. I have recommended to everyone in my family.
Seems to cause more gas and bloting | (Posted on 6/26/11)
Review by Vancity
I started on DMUltra a week ago to try to cut down on upper stomach discomfort after eating. What I am getting now from DMUltra is extreme bloating and gas all night long. I get a very full stomach feeling that is waking me up in the middle of the night. Is this normal and is my body just adjusting to the change in diet absorption or is this not normal for the first week. I am also taking the Critical Care Probiotic every morning.
Awesome product for high protein diets. | (Posted on 3/24/11)
Review by Steve
I have a problem digesting proteins because I have low hydrochloric acid. This is a problem since I am trying to bodybuild. I looked into Brenda watson after seeing her show on PBS, and found Renew Life. I saw the high amounts of proteolitic emzymes in this formula. The rest is history. I take this with every meal and I have no issues digesting and absorbing proteins. This is a great product!
Life Changing Product! | (Posted on 3/7/11)
Review by Lynn
I suffered with IBS symptoms and lactose intolerance for years, always needing to know where the closest bathroom was in case I had a flare up when eating something that disagreed with me (and my symptoms were almost immediate). I went to a spa focused on digestive cleansing, and they recommended all clients take enzymes, probiotics and fiber (among other things) daily, so I've tried to incorporate these into my life. I've tried various enzyme blends but have used DM Ultra for about 2 years because it appears to provide the broadest, strongest blend on the market (it is very hard to compare brands since they use different measurement units!). What I like about DM Ultra is that I never isolated my issues to just lactose (Lactaid didn't always work, for instance), and I suspect it was also difficulty digesting fat in general. DM Ultra provides enzymes to work on protein, carbs, fat, and sugars including lactase. I now can eat nearly any food without any issues afterward, which is truly life-changing. I recommend to folks who have issues to also add probiotics and fiber to your diet as well.

Barring any unusual health problems - I highly recommend this product for treatment of GI discomfort etc. Have used several OTC a products as well as prescription products without relief of gas, bloating, acid reflux, constipation etc. This is worth the investment.

I love all the renew life products. This one is just another great product by Brenda Watson. I have used these products for over 4 years now and have read her books. She makes alot of sense and if you follow her thinking you will be in the best balanced shape of your life. Keep up the great work Brenda and Renew Life!!!

Review by No more TUMS
For year i took TUMS and then my doctor told me to try prilosec even though he didn't seem to think it would work and instead i went to the health food store and tried digestmore ultra. I haven't taken another product for heartburn since and now i read all this stuff about side effects and I am so glad i found a natural solution
Bad for IBS, Great for High Protein Diets | (Posted on 6/4/10)
Review by Byron
While the negative comment below may be valid for that person - and it sounds like Kelly used the wrong product completely for her IBS symptoms. DigestMORE Ultra is a VERY strong digestive enzyme complex for those whose systems are not sensitive. I work out a lot, and I find that the standard DigestMORE is not potent enough. DMUltra PLUS my daily regimen of probiotics keep my insides moving regularly.

I felt like I wasn't able to digest anything I ate. I would bloat and get gassy almost immediately. If I take a digest more with each meal, I can eat with ease! I have stopped my prescription ulcer medicine which was the only thing that worked for me. I LOVE this product!
Helped with bloating | (Posted on 2/9/10)
Review by Sandy
My husband was taking antacids constantly. I finally got him to try DigestMore Ultra with each meal and he has not had to take any antacid in more than 2 years. DigestMore Ultra has hellped with the bloating feeling he was getting after his meals and also stopped the acid reflux he was experiencing at bedtdime. Great product! Thank you.

Lanz Crocus Robe I would rate the item as five stars, quality workmanship was outstanding -- I just love it. The attention to detail was amazing just what I wanted, to replace a robe made out of searsucker material, that after two years of searching was about to fall apart. I'm so excited about your website it brings back memories. Thanks September 26, 2013
Very Beautiful! This gown is made of very good cotton lawn and is of good construction. I ordered a medium first but thought it was a little tight across the back. Returned it for a large. Customer service was excellent! Very pleasant and helpful. After washing and wearing the gown for a while, I wished I would have kept the medium. I think the fabric softens so much with use, that's why these gowns are great for years. I know I will enjoy it for a long time. Surprised they have not sold out of common sizes. Good value at sale price. November 6, 2013
LANZ CROCUS ROBE THE ROBE IS GREAT AND MADE BEAUTIFULLY BUT IT RUNS LARGE SO I FIXED IT. IF I ORDER AGAIN I WILL REMEBER TO ORDER A SIZE SMALLER. October 11, 2013

GIBSONVILLE — The
With a 7-4 victory against host
"It feels great to just lock in it and have to yourself," said
Warriors coach Lance Huff said there was little celebration with Tuesday's clincher, with his team knowing what was at stake in the next league game.
"There was really no celebration from my guys. They all looked at each other and said we still have one more," Huff said. "Even (Friday) night, there's not a lot of satisfaction. Which is a good thing, you don't ever want your team to get satisfied."
Deatherage made a diving catch while moving to his right in center field for the game's final out, helping his brother Blake Deatherage pick up a one-out save. Breydan Gorham pitched 6 2/3 innings for the victory, striking out 10 batters.
Gorham appeared to make the game-ending play on his last batter, when he knocked down a ground ball up the middle and fired to first. But the close play went in
"I really wanted it bad, it kind of hurt me on that last play when I didn't get the call, but it happens," Gorham said.
Brock Deatherage circled Ballard's drive into left-center field and laid out for the game-ending grab.
"I was expecting the ball, I wanted the ball," Deatherage said of the play. "I kind of tracked it slower than I should have, got around it, got a good angle on it. I was expecting it to be deeper than it was."
Sam Foster led the way offensively for
Foster's first double came in the fourth inning with a small roller coaster of emotions. The second baseman hit a chopper in front of the mound and had to run to first, despite the play later being called a foul ball because it hit Foster's foot.
"Oh yeah it made me mad, I thought I was going to be out and have to get a little angry," Foster said. "They made the call right and I stepped up when I needed to. He left a curve ball hanging and I did what I needed to with it."
Trey Pierce followed with an RBI single up the middle to give the Warriors the lead for good.
In the sixth inning, Gorham helped his cause on the mound by hitting a two-out, two-RBI double to left field.
"We had a huge hit from Breydan Gorham … drove in two runs, which was big and gave us a little bit of a
"We didn't put enough pressure on those guys early and they're an offensive club for sure," White said. "You make it easy on them when you let them go out and make plays.
"I feel like we had a ton of strikeouts we shouldn't have had. … We just did not battle with two strikes. Our two-strike approach was not very good. Nothing away from (Gorham), he worked ahead."
The Wildcats (12-10, 6-8) will play host to Williams High School in the first round of the conference tournament.

Dahami's Reptoids and Aliens
This is some old stuff I have. There are some acrylic paintings did in the nineties, and some scans of pencil sketches. In some instances I just used my old digital camera to photograph the art (not the best lighting). My scanner is hooked up to an old computer and its card uses an ISA slot, so I don't set it up very often. When I do maybe I'll put up some more recent work. A couple of the images were colored in Photoshop after scanning.

Ha! This has got to be one of the funnest pages i have looked at, the work that has gone into them as well is amazing, the few that have the scales are so detailed and awesome!
November 24th, 2008 #3
i think i'm pretty sure you have a passion for aliens and reptoids man, wonder where that might come from hehe
i like the fact some of these are creepy as fuck, but even if they are alien their paintings should still be subject to the rules of form and color theory...so imho they could use some more polishing in the basics of the actual painting and drawing stage
again, really creepy
November 24th, 2008 #4
It's a shame there isn't a bit more progression so far as the amount of work you put into your realism, but it's pretty obvious what you have a passion for and what style you like. Reminds me a lot of the illustrations in the UFO books I used to check out at my local library when I was a kid.

Thanks for commenting. For the most part I think I have the underlying shape and line work right. One thing that was difficult was trying to come up with a plausible scale pattern based in part on studying reference photos of terrestrial lizards, snakes and/or crocodilians. It required a lot of reworking the scales (the shapes and locations of which are defined by their edges) and was very time consuming. Gray aliens without discernible scales are much easier than reptilian aliens for that reason. There's a lot more that can be done with this, probably using a program like Photoshop or Painter for coloring and lighting effects. I have Photoshop CS3 but I haven't really felt like doing much with these images lately. I'm happy to show them, however.
Many of these are based on speaking with people who report having seen them. In the case of the reptilians, I usually can get some information about the color and general information about the scales ("bumpy like the skin on an iguana's neck" or "overlapping like snake scales" for example). In some cases people just describe the skin as "scaly like a lizard or snake." Few people recall many details about the exact scale pattern, however. The yellowish/khaki sort of reptilian with the breastplate and close-up portrait was an exception. I spent a couple hours with the witness doing a detailed sketch of the face, getting bone structure, scale size/pattern and making notes about coloration. I've always loved lizards and snakes (and dinosaurs), and I wish more of the Dungeons and Dragons and other fantasy representations of reptilian humanoids were done by people with a more obvious appreciation for reptilian scales.

The character designs are great. I agree with TheGnoll, the pieces need more polishing. These pieces lack structure and foundation.
I would like to see some different perspectives, compositions and characters in different environments.
Otherwise, I like them a lot and want to see more. Keep it up.

Wow, you know, in a weird way i see these actually working well as a fine art gallery of large canvas paintings...not so much as concept art...
Your getting some football eyes going on but that could very well be intentional...it's hard to crit stuff like this because you don't know where style comes in and technique is intentionally ignored.
February 15th, 2009 #12
NIce originality but just think how awsome they would be renderd correctly with light and colours applied in a studied and correct way! Colours reflect upon eachother, light is not just white, light sources make the aliens pop even more.
Push these and don't rely on them just being your style. A very nice start and a lot of work. So you actually talk to guys who have been visited? Ayn interesting infos you wanna share?
February 15th, 2009 #13
These images are essentially a study of the variations described by people who report UFO contact/abduction. It's almost all based on research I did in the nineties. For the past several years my spare time has been occupied by computer gaming more so than drawing or speaking to UFO experiencers. I invite anyone out there to use the information on anatomy, coloration and so forth contained in these images to create some alien portraits or scenes of your own. I don't own this research. It's a collaboration and anyone interested is free to participate. Perhaps if someone creates something that I find sufficiently inspiring, I'll even get back into it myself.
BullDawg Creative - I agree.
Abductee - Thanks.
AlexTooth - Not as far as I know, but then, abductees usually report that the memory is affected (i.e., missing time or only partial recollection for certain events).
kidult - Good ideas. I'd love to see you tackle some of these yourself.
StallionOfBeachhaven - Everyone reacts to the images differently. People have different feelings about the different species when they look at pictures of them. Amazingly funny is a good response. As valid as any other. Thanks.
DeeLock - Often the eyes are described as extremely large and somewhat almond-shaped. They seem to wrap around the side of the head more than human eyes. In the case of the insectoids (mantis types) they can be really enormous. Alien eyes, if the you could see them through the skin and the skull, might not be so nearly spherical as human eyes. As for style, my goal has been to try to keep stylistic influence to a minimum and try to document what the witnesses have reported to me. When I have worked with them in person we generally got to the point where they were satisfied that we had a pretty good likeness of what they saw.
Janos - Thank you and I agree. I could go a lot further with this. About fifteen years ago when I was recently out of college, that was a central goal of my life. I wanted to help prepare people for the day when these beings were out in the open. I have since concluded that they may never really come into the open, at least not during my lifetime. I also respect anyone who says they don't exist, as there's never been any proof of that. Of course, for the work I'm doing here the question of their objective reality is largely irrelevant. People report seeing them, and there are a lot of commonalities among the descriptions. I'm just interested in visually documenting what people report. I'll get more active with this again some day. In the meantime, I've only got a couple of weeks left before they shut down the servers on Tabula Rasa.

hmm, your drawings suffer from a very high amount of flatness.. you almost use no artistic tricks to create the illusions of depth.. i dont see 3d form in your drawings, so i couldn't say anything about the design in 3d, i mean you couldnt make a 3d model from your drawings. actually, your designs are very generic. if you get more knowledge about 3d forms and anatomy, you can play with it and come up with more original stuff...
sorry for being harsh but this is what i think.

Here are some more sketches I found on my hard drive. They include an interpretation of a Star Wars Trandoshan alien as a reptoid, as well as a reptoid based on Enik the Altrusian (Sleestak ancestor) from the '70s TV series Land of the Lost. Obviously those are not based on eyewitness testimony, but with a little re-imagination, they do resemble some of the critters UFO abductees have described.
The Trandoshan image is important because I showed the teeth. I've only met one person who gave me a good description of the teeth and she said he had Willem Dafoe's smile (i.e., small, jagged, uneven teeth). No offense to Willem Dafoe intended. She actually liked her reptoid's smile. From what I can infer the dentition is somewhere between reptilian and mammalian. In other words, there's some suggestion of differientation of teeth as you see in mammals, but the teeth do have the jagged, uneven quality you see in reptiles such as lizards. People are usually transfixed by the eyes, and don't get a close look at the teeth even when the beings open their mouths (not very often as they communicate telepathically).
I've also included some experimentation with different types of reptoid heads, based mostly on sketches by different abductees/experiencers. As you can see there's some variation in what's being reported. Common features typically include vertical slit pupils, some kind of ridge or plate-like scales on the forehead, and a stubby reptilian muzzle or snout. In some cases, however, the face is relatively flat like a human or "Gray" alien. Reptilians usually have well-defined muscles and thick tendons on the neck.
If you're interested go find some UFO abductees in your area and work with them, or just start drawing from imagination or use my images as reference. I'd love to see more talented artists drawing these reptilians as they are really cool looking. I'm tired of seeing Internet postings that talk about the reptilians but don't include any pictures.
These drawings were done with a mechanical pencil and cleaned up in Photoshop.
March 23rd, 2009 #18
Totally not my subject but still I can see you could improve a lot. But other than that I can see it is a sketchbook so... Anyways last ones are those I like the most, some more shading on scales would add depth to your drawings.
Keep it up
March 23rd, 2009 #19
Teh Gosu, I wanted to include enough detail on 3D form for other artists who look at these to be able to render them from multiple angles, which is why I painted the portrait of the slender reptilian being with the huge yellow eyes from three different angles (the witness actually sculpted a small model of the head/face of that one for me). But I can see your point regarding some of the images where I only have the front view. In some instances all I had was one meeting with the witness at a restaurant, and only one drawing was created. Sometimes I am attempting to "reverse-engineer" a rough sketch from a witness who is not a trained artist, using whatever visual knowledge of anatomy and biology I can bring to it.
Hygami, you have the potential to be a truly great fantasy artist. Some of your work reminds me of Todd Lockwood. I am honored that you have bookmarked my sketchbook. As with anyone else who might be interested, I ask you to try drawing some of these beings if you so desire. Maybe you could put some of the reptilians in a fantasy setting with medieval armor like the lizardfolk from D&D.
So, I'm kind of asking other people to do my work for me, but for those who are interested, it's more a matter of taking on the work for yourself. As long as people keep reporting these encounters, there will be something for artists to do. And you don't have to be a believer to get involved, you just have to be interested.
Thanks nakatoni, everyone. Yes I can see that I have a lot of room for improvement to reach the same level as many of the other artists in these forums. What I want you to understand is that when I did these I was more concerned with capturing information about shapes, colors, anatomical proportions, and working out possible scale patterns, more so than creating fully rendered paintings with all of the details of lighting and shadow perfectly presented.
I'm sure I'll get back into this at some point, and I'll have more to post in the future.
March 23rd, 2009 #20
Hi Dahami!
That last update, those sketches , actually look less flat than the previous ones. That's good!
The first pieces you posted may not have had proper structure, looked flat, but man are they powerful images. I am sure everyone who looked at them got creeped out. I know I did.
That said, putting your passion for drawing aliens and reptoids and mixing that with some solid art basics should make your images more intense.
And I am sure you will have a lot of fun as you learn, and this can help you present these creatures in a whole new way.
( seriously, I have to go turn on the lights now, i suddenly feel eyes staring at me man...)

Hi there!
You seem to be really into this alien stuff, wich gives you a huge amount of inspiration I see.
You are also very industrious, wich is really important if you want to get better.
Also there is a noticeable progress in your sketchbook even if it is still small.
All your paintings look a bit flat like already mentioned, maybe you want to study color, form and light a bit?
Your new work is a lot better, I especially like the left creature of the last picture, the muscle structure looks right in my eyes and the design is neat.
I think you have the potential to become a great creature artist if you want to.
Good luck!

ANGRY filipino, thanks. Pencil is a good medium for creating shading effects. Some of the acrylic paintings were almost like foundations and were meant to capture information so that, someday, I might turn them into fully finished pieces. I'm glad the images creeped you out. I guess I did something right.
AM-Artist, thanks. I appreciate your comments.
I've attached a few more images that I prepared for a DLP slide show I did a few years back. One is based on an illustration of a reptilian that appeared in the now-defunct Unicus magazine back in 1994, one is a profile image of a reptilian based on a drawing that was shown at a conference, and one is based on someone I corresponded with by e-mail about something she saw. I never got it quite right, though. It was more animal-like than humanoid, and should perhaps be more slender and bird-like than shown. She called it a mini-Godzilla.

ANGRY filipino, I did some colored pencil drawings of Diana from "V" (played by Jane Badler) back in the mid-eighties. My artistic skill was even less-developed back then, but maybe I'll post those someday.
Here are some more.
I did a sketch of the leader alien that Carlo Rambaldi created for Spielberg's 1977 film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, mainly to illustrate that it did not have the solid black eyes (without discernible iris or pupil) that modern depictions of the Grays (beginning in the mid-eighties) possess. Earlier accounts such as the Barney and Betty Hill Case (1961) and the Travis Walton case (1975) also lacked the solid black eyes of recent cases.
Here is a sketch of different types of alien hands. The body plan is almost always humanoid, but the hands are quite varied.
I've included illustrations of different alien faces to show some similarities and differences, and there have been some with odd folds of skin across the face, reported in different cases.
Of interest to me was a particular emblem that appeared on the robe of two different beings (at least) who contacted different witnesses I met. Both beings were described as glowing from within by means unknown (bioluminescence?, nanotech?, paranormal?) and I don't think these two people knew each other or were familiar with the details of each other's cases. One of the beings was called Dahami. He was described as resembling a cross between Napoleon and Yoda. He is my namesake for this board.
April 2nd, 2009 #26
Technically the cute gal in the green suit isn't from "V." She was a pilot on a craft occupied by more or less human-looking UFO occupants that someone reported to me back in the nineties. The witness actually wanted me to draw the two male occupants who spoke with him, but I was more interested in the female pilot. A curious feature is that she had colored pupils, rather than the black pupils that terrestrial humans have. I'm not sure what that means. And as with any of these reports, take it or leave it. I just do the drawings and look for corroborating details between cases.
Here are some more acrylic paintings that I had scans of. Again, sorry for the redundancy from my first post. The "glowing goblin" is from a famous case that took place in Kentucky in 1955. The blue one and the yellowish-beige Gray type alien are the sorts of beings that Whitley Strieber wrote about in his best-seller Communion.
This should be it for a while, unless I find some more stuff on my computer, or set up my scanner again. Thanks for checking out my sketchbook.
