South Brooklyn Legal Services Family Law/Domestic Violence Attorney Conducts Webinar on Providing Services
A South Brooklyn Legal Services attorney shared some of the lessons she's learned from serving women and children victimized by domestic violence during a recent, online webinar for fellow providers of care.
Nadya E. Rosen, the Deputy Director of the Family Law/DV Unit at SBLS, conducted the national webinar training, entitled Providing Civil Legal Services at a Family Justice Center: Benefits, Challenges and Lessons Learned, for the Family Justice Center Alliance (FJCA).
Ms. Rosen, along with Jennifer DeCarli, Executive Director of the New York City Family Justice Center (FJC), Brooklyn, discussed the vital need for providing these services at the Brooklyn FJC on Thursday, Feb. 10.
The Brooklyn FJC has been serving victim/survivors of domestic violence and their families in Brooklyn for over five years and SBLS has been an on-site partner since the Center's inception in 2005. Forty-five percent of the clients that seek services at Brooklyn FJC request assistance with civil legal needs.
Ms. Rosen has been working at the Brooklyn FJC since she joined SBLS in June 2007 and spoke about how important the team environment at the Brooklyn FJC has been to providing quality civil legal services, even while acknowledging that such an environment is fraught with complications, including coordinating client care with multiple agencies and preserving client confidentiality, working with service providers with differing ethical obligations and managing client expectations.
Over 200 participants signed up to learn more about how to bring these services to their centers and what important steps are necessary to be taken to insure that clients receive holistic services.

SBLS Unit Director Honored by Brooklyn Treatment Court
South Brooklyn Legal Service's Anna Maria Diamanti, director of the Family Law/Domestic Violence unit, was honored for her work by Brooklyn Treatment Court during their graduation ceremony last week.
Diamanti was thanked for assisting participants and court personnel in all areas of law and for being so generous with her time.
Brooklyn Treatment Court or BTC links non-violent, substance-abusing participants to treatment programs as an alternative to incarceration.
Diamanti has been the Director of the Family Law/DV Unit since July 2008. Prior to coming to SBLS, Diamanti was a Supervising Attorney at Safe Horizon's Domestic Violence Law Project from 2002 to 2006 and a Staff Attorney at the Legal Aid Society of Greater Cincinnati from 2000 to 2002. Diamanti received her J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center in 2000 and her B.A. in History from Boston College in 1997. Diamanti is on the Board of the Appellate Representation Project for Battered Women at the New York Legal Assistance Group.

Abuser Uses Deportation Threat To Frighten Legal Immigrant
Our client, a Turkish speaker, came to the United States in February of 2007 with a green card. When she came to the Family Justice Center, she had been married for one and a half years but had suffered abuse. Her husband had even threatened her with deportation despite her fully-legal status. A pregnant new immigrant, she was terrified that she would be deported after giving birth, and so fled the state of New York to live with relatives.
A week after the child was born, the father filed a visitation petition, seeking to remove the child from where it was with its mother to visit the father in Brooklyn. South Brooklyn Legal Services represented the mother in the case and argued successfully that the state of the mother's residence had jurisdiction, not New York, because the child had been with its mother in that state since birth.
The father has not filed for a new petition for custody or visitation in our client's new home state, where she is represented by an attorney obtained through our referral. She plans to stay with her family for the next few years to become self-sufficient. There she can take English as a Second Language classes, secure employment and receive childcare assistance from her family

Abuse Crosses State Lines
In April 2007, Ms. K and her three children, two of whom who have extensive disabilities, fled an extremely abusive and violent husband in California and came to New York.
During the marriage, Mr. K regularly beat his wife, locked her in closets, forbid her and the children from leaving the house and restricted her telephone access. Ms. K was forced to flee California without any money or access to a bank account, credit cards, immigration papers, her social security card or driver's license – she was destitute. Mr. K had also forbidden Ms. K from contacting her parents in Egypt or her siblings, who lived in New York, but Ms. K hoped that they would be able to help her escape her husband's violence.
Thankfully, Ms. K was able to reconnect with her parents, who came to New York from Egypt, and brothers for the first time in several years, and was able to get badly needed special educational and social services for the children and herself. Her family helped to support her while she and her children became settled in New York, and her children were able to meet their grandparents for the first time.
Ms. K filed a pro se custody and order of protection petitions before she found South Brooklyn Legal Services, but her husband's attorney filed motions asking the court to dismiss them for lack of jurisdiction, arguing that California was the home state of the children and that no domestic violence had occurred in New York. Mr. K wanted Ms. K to be forced to litigate these issues in California.
Natalia Williams, an attorney in SBLS' Family/Domestic Violence Unit, filed response papers arguing that New York should take emergency jurisdiction of the children because of the imminent danger to the mother and children if they were to return to California and arguing that New York was the more convenient forum. SBLS also argued that New York had jurisdiction over the family offense proceeding because domestic violence had occurred in New York in the form of hundreds of threatening phone calls and voice mail messages the husband had made to the client shortly after she moved to New York. Additionally, SBLS filed for child support on behalf of Ms. K, as Mr. K refused to support her or the children, despite his six figure salary.
In January, 2008, Kings County Family Court took emergency jurisdiction of the custody case and issued a temporary order of protection against the husband on behalf of the client and her children. The client and her children will now be able to remain in Brooklyn while she is litigating the custody case, instead of having to return to California where she has no support, family, home or job. SBLS was also able to secure a child support award that allows Ms. K to support herself and her children while she continues to engage in social services she needs to transition to a life free of violence. Ms. K is now safe, and her children are receiving the services they need.

Safari mouseOver mouseOut?
Apparently what someone using one of the Safari versions said was happening, was mouseOver was working fine but mouseOut was not closing those windows and instead they just stacked up on his display until they manually closed them. Of course that would be a big nuisance thus a serious issue. And I do believe someone said on their system a mouseOver brought up a pointing icon that they then had to manually mouse select in order to have the image window open. However there was no info as to what browser they were using.
Note I am not a Mac user but rather am on a Windows PC running the IE browser. I searched around for some information about what may be going on but only got a zillion search hits, none of which enlightened me if there even is any problem. And note I am a photographer and also a old debug test engineer in the San Jose area.
This is my homepage:
At top right is this sub-page link:
Spring 2008 Wildflower Trip Chronicles
That brings up this chronicles contents sub-page:
Select any of the 1 thru 9 pages, all of which have the above implemented.
thanks for any help folks,
David Senesac
No images enlarge for me unless I click them. (using Safari on Windows) Nice pics though, I like the winter ones :)
Are you aware that Safari is also available for Windows?
I've never specifically compared the two, but I would imagine the Windows and OS X versions would behave similarly...
You have to enable Pop Ups in Safari for the window to show. It works in Firefox on OSX. Doing farther checking. Will get back to you.
Edit: checked with many different browsers. One problem is you are using Pop Up's to display the pics and most users now a days have Pop Up's blocked.
Both Safari and the latest WebKit build display the opening and closing windows which will not stay open.
I don't know how to allow popups with safari :o For specific sites atleast... o well. I don't like them anyway.
Update, Windows Safari 3.1 and latest Webkit work fine as long as you turn off Pop Up Blocking from the Edit menu.
It's only on OSX (both Safari 3.1 and Webkit) that the windows continually open and close and will not stay open while pointing at the picture.
This link explains how to disable or enable popup window blocking:
On the lower left side of my Contents page, I have a READme link that includes that same link plus some additional info.
dtravis7, if I understand your last post, if pop up blocking is temporarily disabled in any of those browsers, then my page functions as I've indicated? Or is there some regular manual activity involved beyond mouseover and mouseout? Although I understand why people have had to resort to the popup blockers due to obnoxious code written by advertisers, if what I am doing is functional, it potentially could be very useful for displaying a lot more image content within pages without the huge bandwidth penalties. ...David
Ok will try to word it differently. Safari 3.1 on OSX 10.5 Leopard with Popup blocking turned off works but the picture opens and closes really fast all on it's own till I move the mouse pointer away from the main picture.
Safari 3.1 under Windows XP SP2 though works perfectly and the window with the Picture opens and stays open till I move the mouse away from the main picture.
Firefox both on OSX and XP Pro works perfectly as long as I allow Popups.
I hope that makes it more clear. It's not working correctly on Safari 3.1 under Leopard. Will not stay open and looks like it's caught in a loop. Tried it on 3 different Macs. Same results.
It's strange to me that the Windows version of Safari does not behave that way at all and works perfectly.
If I can be of any more help testing it out let me know. I have many Windows, Linux and OSX systems here.
what's happening (atleast on Safari 3.1 for Mac) is it's behaving exactly as its supposed to (or as you have told it to), with pop-ups turned off it will pop up a pic when browsed over, BUT it then immediately closes that pic doing this over and over until moved off the pic. The reason for this is when I mouse over the pic it pops up another window and brings the focus to that windows and in doing so it takes the focus off the original image thus "mousingOut" and then doing that action (closing the window). Once that window is closed the focus is put back on the original image, thus activating a "mouseOver" and the process repeats endlessly until you move your mouse off the original image. Hopes that makes sense.
So in reality, it looks like only Safari is handling it correctly ;) Which is not a surprise since most browsers are poorly implemented. Try it in the latest Opera and I bet it does the same thing.
What you are describing occurs in other browsers too like the IE that I use. In the READme, I explain one needs to open up a browser window that spreads across most of one's desktop width instead of a small window that is say only a few hundred pixels wide in one corner of one's desktop. The reason is I open the top left corner of image windows in one of two specific desktop locations. Those locations and the rest of such an opening windows ought not be where a thumbnail image was mouseover'd. For thumbnails along the left side of my pages, windows will open at 100 pixels below the top of one's desktop and 400 pixels to the right of the left edge. Thus if one opened a small browser window on the desktop say only 500 pixels wide and placed it with its left window edge 400 pixels to the right of the left desktop edge, an opening image window would occur right atop the thumbnail and cause the exact endless open close action you are relating. Thus as my Readme explains place the browser window across the desktop in a more centered way using most of one's desktop width.
Likewise, the thumbnails on the right side open close to the left desktop edge. Thus if one uses a small VGA sized desktop at 640 pixels, my pages would not work and SVGA at 800 pixels wide would be marginal. So one ought to be using at least an XVGA ie 1024 pixel width desktop since my image sizes themselves are 720 pixles wide. ...David
The Pop Up stays open on the latest version of Opera on OSX till I move away from the original image.
Firefox and Camino open the popup but it never closes on it's own.
Just tried Firefox 3 Beta 4 and the latest Nightly build of Opera and both work perfectly on the Popup pics.
There's a few ways to do it, but that's a simple and quick way. I've done that for a few sites where customers wanted similar functionality. It doesn't require the user to do anything with popups, and you don't have to worry about popup blockers.

Read Poems by
Cortney Bartholomew
covered in His love,
in the shelter of His wings,
there is a time and a place for everything,
moments shared, love regained,
the song that's sang over and over again,
old and new passed around,
with every season love is found,
to see past the circumstance, and not just in seeing what it is,
but to view the growth behind it, in the relationship to give,
to build our hearts with the foundations of love,
never giving up hope, our faith from above.

Many law professors, attorneys or judges have written text books on the subjects you will be studying. Some of these are specifically geared to law students, and these are commonly called Hornbooks. The authors of your casebooks generally will cite to some of these books in the notes after cases; your professor may recommend favorites for her/his course. These are much more detailed analyses of the law than the commercial outlines. They are quite useful when doing legal research (for the course in Legal Writing, for example), for they provide citations to cases, statutes, law review articles and other legal sources. They are much more rich discussions of the law than the commercial outlines, which tend to be more like flash cards. Hornbooks can be very helpful when you have finished a chapter or section and have attempted to synthesize the material yourself. They can help you flesh out some of the concepts, give an explanation of a concept in different words, give further examples. Once again, you shouldn't use these to substitute for outlining the material yourself, but as a supplement to your review process.
In addition to textbooks, the authors and/or your professors may refer you to various sections of the Restatement in the course in question. These are the products of the American Law Institute, an association of law professors, judges, lawyers, other scholars, who meet periodically to review an area of law and debate what the law is and what it should be. They publish bound volumes attempting to restate the law in black letter terms, with explanations and examples. The ALI Restatements have no force of law themselves, but are only the views of the membership; however, the prestige of the group has caused the Restatements in various areas to have a great impact on the growth of the law; many courts have adopted sections of the Restatements verbatim as the law of their jurisdictions. The Restatements are on reserve in the library, and are a good way to review a subject, since they offer lots of concrete examples of a rule being applied to a fact situation, with explanations of why the rule applies or does not apply. They can be a valuable study aide.
Virtually every law school in the country publishes one
or more law reviews. They contain lead articles written by
judges, lawyers, law professors, or other legal scholars,
and most have additional articles written by law students.
Many of the better articles are cited in the notes in your
casebooks. These too are great sources for legal research.
But they also are valuable when reviewing an area of law
that you are having trouble mastering. They are much more
complete and analytical than any commercial outline can be,
and are filled with citations to and analyses of cases on
the subject of the article.
A student who is having trouble understanding some aspect or portion of a course may find a clear law review article explaining and illustrating the concepts involved, and clarify the subject.
Often, law students form study groups, which meet periodically to review one or more courses. These can be a very beneficial method of reviewing. However, they are best for the students who are active teachers and not passive recipients of others' knowledge. Once again, if you can competently explain concepts to others you have mastered the material, and can communicate it to your professor on a final exam. If, however, you are merely listening, you have to try to adapt to another lecture by another "teacher." And by all means, if the Study Group chooses to do joint outlines, do not depend on the Group's outline to replace your own- once again, people learn differently. If the one who prepares the Group's outline uses a very formal method and you think in a less formal method, you may be lost in trying to use the Group outline. You need to do it yourself!!!

This was the first venture into Canada for Crate and Barrel. Recognized as America's number one home furnishings retailer with 160 locations nationwide, Crate and Barrel has a high focus on visual merchandising and a highly recognizable architectural design that are import components of the company's brand. The new 35,000-square-foot location is positioned inside the shopping centre with a strong exterior and interior presence. The project added an additional 22,000 square feet to an already existing shell, turning a single-story location into a three-story structure with an underground office and stock room, as well as two retail stories above ground. With Crate and Barrel's high focus on visual merchandising that relies on the store as reinforcement, Graycor Construction had to source several materials for the job, including porcelain tile, metal panel, western red cedar, ponderosa pine, colored concrete flooring, maple wood flooring and stone, of which 99 percent came from Canada. Overall, Graycor's relationship with Crate and Barrel spans more than a decade and includes 20 projects completed in 12 states, coast-to-coast, as well as now in Canada.

Just how bad is the stimulus plan? Pretty bad, as the Wall Street Journal documents:
There's $1 billion for Amtrak, the federal railroad that hasn't turned a profit in 40 years; $2 billion for child-care subsidies; $50 million for that great engine of job creation, the National Endowment for the Arts; $400 million for global-warming research and another $2.4 billion for carbon-capture demonstration projects. There's even $650 million on top of the billions already doled out to pay for digital TV conversion coupons.
In selling the plan, President Obama has said this bill will make "dramatic investments to revive our flagging economy." Well, you be the judge. Some $30 billion, or less than 5% of the spending in the bill, is for fixing bridges or other highway projects. There's another $40 billion for broadband and electric grid development, airports and clean water projects that are arguably worthwhile priorities.
Add the roughly $20 billion for business tax cuts, and by our estimate only $90 billion out of $825 billion, or about 12 cents of every $1, is for something that can plausibly be considered a growth stimulus. And even many of these projects aren't likely to help the economy immediately. As Peter Orszag, the President's new budget director, told Congress a year ago, "even those [public works] that are 'on the shelf' generally cannot be undertaken quickly enough to provide timely stimulus to the economy."
And on and on it goes:
Another "stimulus" secret is that some $252 billion is for income-transfer payments — that is, not investments that arguably help everyone, but cash or benefits to individuals for doing nothing at all. . . .As for the promise of accountability, some $54 billion will go to federal programs that the Office of Management and Budget or the Government Accountability Office have already criticized as "ineffective" or unable to pass basic financial audits. These include the Economic Development Administration, the Small Business Administration, the 10 federal job training programs, and many more. Oh, and don't forget education, which would get $66 billion more. That's more than the entire Education Department spent a mere 10 years ago and is on top of the doubling under President Bush.
It is hard to conclude that the Democrats were actually trying to meet the President's stated goals. There is little wonder that the President and Democrats want this voted on fast. If lawmakers, not to mention the public, figure out what's in this they might have second thoughts. If they slow down and actually read what is in the bill, they could get the idea this is essentially one big political payoff, not a serious economic plan — and certainly not one that is targeted or temporary, as Democrats promised. (This might account for the administration's failure to make the bill accessible despite promises of "transparency.")
Despite the feel-good meeting with the President, the House Democrats' bill is barreling ahead and is expected to come up for a vote on Wednesday. What will Republicans do? Based on conversations with those on the Hill close to the leadership, I would be surprised if the bill attracted more than a dozen votes. There may only be a handful of "yes" votes. The reaction to both the process and the content of the bill has been uniformly harsh on the GOP side. The President and Nancy Pelosi have, frankly, given the Republicans no reason to vote for the bill. So most will oppose.
What about those Democrat Blue Dogs who are supposed to be concerned about fiscal discipline? One Republican adviser was blunt, "They are all bark and no bite, and they always cave to Pelosi in the end even though the media always gives them credit for talking a good game." We'll see if some of the Democrats in competitive seats have the nerve to go up against the new President. I'm betting only a handful do.
So in the end it will certainly not be a bipartisan effort. If "bipartisan" has any meaning, it must entail a measure that attracts a substantial portion, if not a majority, of the other party. This clearly will not.
So after all the happy talk we likely will have a very bad bill passed on a near strict party-line vote. Not exactly the dawning of a new age in responsible, bipartisan government.

Two-year-old Abby St. Aubin was jumping on her bed in Lakeville when she tripped on a pillow and landed herself in a full-body cast for six weeks.
"She calls it her pink snowsuit," said her father, Jon.
Abby and her father waited in the emergency room at Children's Hospital in Minneapolis for just over 20 minutes before she was seen by a doctor and treated for a broken femur.
"She's a little trooper and she held up good, but I think we're pretty fortunate to have a strong-willed daughter," said St. Aubin.
The new 'Hospital Compare' tool on medicare.gov helps family's like the St. Aubin's check the average wait time at a hospital before showing up. We compared Hennepin County Medical Center, North Memorial Medical Center and Fairview Southdale Hospital.
At HCMC, it's 29 minutes. North Memorial is an average wait of 12 minutes and Fairview Southdale is 58 minutes.
For Abby's dad, the 20 minute wait Children's felt like hours.
"That was the very difficult part about it too," he said. "Not only seeing her in pain but knowing she's in pain and knowing there's nothing you can do about it."
This tool will be useful for the St. Aubins, a family already preparing for their next hospital visit.
"In two weeks, we have another one on the way," he said. "A little boy. And I guess we're going to see what happens!"
North Memorial says they keep the wait times down by using a bedside registration system so patients can talk to a doctor before even doing the paperwork. Fairview Southdale Hospital sent us the following statement to explain why the average wait time in the ER is almost an hour:
Fairview Southdale Hospital strives to provide the best possible patient experience in the emergency department setting.
The wait times, as listed in Hospital Compare, draw on data collected over a three month period-January through March of 2012. Wait times at Twin Cities hospitals can vary dramatically from day to day, and throughout a calendar year.
Wait times are influenced by a number of factors, including the number of people seeking care during a given period of time, the reason for their visit, capacity of the department, and acuity (severity of illness or injury) of our patients.
Fairview Southdale Hospital consistently ranks among the nation's best in several critical care measures, including specialty access for cardiac, stroke and general surgery patients.

As she heads into the last year of her tenure in the state of Washington, Democratic Governor Christine Gregoire (left) has a handful of policy initiatives she would like to push through to pad her political legacy: balance the state's budget, raise state revenues, create some jobs to help the economy, improve education. And force through a bill legalizing homosexual marriage.
About 40 percent of all pregnancies in New York City end in abortion, according to the most recent statistics from the city's health department. That makes the abortion rate of America's largest city more than double the national average. According to NYC health department numbers, the lives of more than 83,000 babies were ended via the murderous procedure in 2010, although, surprisingly, that number was down by one percent from the city's 2009 abortion statistics. But even more horrific was the news that 63 percent of teen mothers terminated their pregnancies with the help of an abortionist.
Nearly a month after pulling its advertising from a reality show about American Muslims, nationwide retailer Lowe's Home Improvement is facing a backlash from Muslims and others who consider the action discriminatory.
Planned Parenthood has released its Annual Report for 2009-2010, and predictably, the revelations about the abortion giant's doings over that time frame paint a tragic picture. With a total budget of just over $1 billion, the "family planning" group was responsible for a total of 329,445 abortions, while making just 841 adoption referrals. That means there were 391 abortions for every adoption — a horrific ratio.
For some, the Girl Scouts of the USA has not been adhering to the principles that originally served as the foundation of the organization, and has even gone as far as to revise its pledge, reflecting a major transition in the organization's function. Likewise, the organization continues to come under fire for a number of items, including its recent decision to allow a little boy to become a member. For this reason, an alternative organization has become increasingly popular and hopes to siphon off some would-be Girl Scouts, touting as its selling point that its agenda is Christ-centered: the American Heritage Girls (AHG).

I Had a Black Grandpa
I had a black grandpa for the first seven years of my life. Pa-Pa had beautiful dark brown skin and rough, calloused hands. He held me on his lap and sang "Paper Doll" to me and taught me how to blow smoke rings, a skill that would later prove very beneficial to me during my years in college, bless his heart.
Having a black grandpa provided me just the individuality I needed in the relatively small, affluent area in which I grew up. We were a country club family, and back then, not a single member of our club was any race other than white. Just how caucasian everyone was would be painfully obvious during any given trip to the pool: blond, straight hair, light tan skin, blue eyes—what did any of these clueless sheep know about culture? Or soul? Sure, I had auburn hair, fair skin, and freckles myself, but at least I had a black grandpa. So I wasn't really like the rest of them.
Everywhere I went, I told people about my black grandpa. My mom had just given birth to my baby sister and I really needed the attention. I came to thrive on the puzzled, sometimes shocked, expressions I'd receive from whatever Whitey I was telling my story to. I loved trying to get inside their heads and imagine what they were thinking. But most of all, I felt wonderfully multi-dimensional, even at the young age of six. There were two whole distinct races of people, two separate histories, pumping through my veins. I watched "Roots" and swelled with pride. I smiled knowingly at Vayola, our black housekeeper. And I looked forward to the family reunion I'd one day attend, where I'd meet my black grandpa's huge family, who'd sing me gospel tunes and show me recipes and teach me the culture that was so very much a part of me.
Then suddenly, just after I turned seven, my black grandpa disappeared. While I was spending the weekend at their house, my grandmother, Ga-Ga, who had become aware of my tendency to spread the word of my heritage, turned to me and said, "Now, Ree, you do know that Pa-Pa is white…right?"
"Aw, cut it out, Ga-Ga," I said. I was sure she was teasing me. But she wasn't. Turned out, my grandpa worked his whole life in the oilfield and was such a dark shade of tan, I'd mistaken him all those years for African-American. "Pa-Pa's white, dear," Ga-Ga repeated. She said it as if she was reporting the weather forecast. And while Ga-Ga didn't realize it, what she actually did that night was rip out half of my soul, half of my identity. Instantly, in the blink of an eye, I was just like all the other country club kids, wearing the same clothes and eating the same Sunday Brunch spread, with no hope of soul food or gospel music anywhere in my future.
Worst of all, I knew I had to go home the next day. Back to the golf course and the Izods and the new baby sister, stripped forever of a surefire way of shocking all the vanilla people surrounding me and getting the kind of attention I craved…and deserved.

Ahhhhhhh, Ree, perception is our reality, huh? Not just when you're six, but as long as you're breathing. To have those perceptions shattered rocks your world…whenEVAH.
I like this post because it's an intriguing portrayal of how even a child KNOWS things. I doubt you could articulate your reasons for being proud of your "heritage", but you understood your need for individuality.
"…stripped forever of a surefire way of shocking all the vanilla people surrounding me and getting the kind of attention I craved…" Notta chance. Of this I am fairly certain: 1) you STILL knew they were vanilla; 2) you might've been down but you were never out; and 3) you managed to continue to shock and awe and garner attention, but after Ga Ga's revelation, you just had to find new ways to do it… without your black grandpa's help ;).
I wonder what HE thought about your heritage.
Jenni in KS On Sunday, October 29 at 7:54 am
What a great post, Ree. I think people tend to struggle between fitting in and standing out. No one wants to be completely on the outside looking in, but no one wants to blend in so well they lose all individuality and are lost in the crowd. I think even those who appear to want either are slightly afraid of it.
We all need color in our lives–color, texture, depth, vitality, variety–and a good soundtrack. I think all of that has less to do with the color of your skin than the color of your soul and who you determine you want to be.
It's interesting seeing that choice and development from a parent's perspective. (I bet Pa-Pa and Ga-Ga were pretty amused:o) Right now I'm seeing it most in my 16yods. He's developed this sort of redneck, good ol' boy image of himself. He loves this song by David Allen Coe: http://hometown.aol.com/imin2country/if_that_aint_country.htm
Never mind that that doesn't describe us at all or that there are some pretty awful things in it that are a reality for some. I think it's the strength and pride even through adversity that he admires. I can see through his tough guy image, though. After all, this is the kid who talks to homeless people and loves Steinbeck for his portrayal of the common man and the struggles within each of us. I love the color of his soul.
Spamboy On Sunday, October 29 at 9:19 am
When I was a kid growing up in California, it was the mid 1970s and my father grew a thick moustache, which was fashionable at the time. He was still young and had a thick head of black hair. In the West Coast sun, he roasted to a deep brown as he coached our soccer team, and for the longest time I, the blogger with an Irish last name, thought my dad was Mexican, because he looked like all of my teammates' Hispanic fathers. It wasn't until we moved to Chicago during my kindergarten years that I learned the truth, as he turned as pale as the winter snowdrifts.
Pam On Sunday, October 29 at 9:43 am
You sure have a way with spinn' a tail little lady! I don't think I wanted to be different until I was…around 9 or 10yrs old. I remember telling my mum that I was glad I was different. Later, I remember discussing with her what I wanted to do or wear or whathaveyou so that I would be different. When inside…I wanted to be accepted and I knew by that age that I never would be accepted by the 'others'. And if I couldn't be accepted…I would be different.
It's funny, I was thinking about that very thing last night at my girlfriend's son's school play. I don't have kids and I was suddenly thrust into a high school environment and all those relationships and emotions bubbled to the surface. And since it was a play…I started thinking…I wish I had a soundtrack of my life so that I would know when I was having one of 'those' moments…you know the kind I mean.
One that changes you, or is so poignant you want to bottle it but you are too busy doing something else and it slips by. I need the soundtrack to cue me to pay attention. Where's my soundtrack. So, excellent comment Jenna in KS.
How synchronistic this all came together (for me anyways) in the last 20 something hours.
Have a stupendous Sunday Ree. Thanks for the insight and the giggle.
Devon On Sunday, October 29 at 10:33 am
Isn't is strange how each persons reality is based on their own perceptions. People look at the same thing and yet see it completely different. Usually based on their own needs.
Thanks for another great story!
Morgie On Sunday, October 29 at 11:19 am
That's ok Ree. I thought that the man I was named after was black too. I think I confused him with Morgan Freeman. No one told me until high school that he wasn't black…
momto3cubs On Sunday, October 29 at 11:47 am
So my middle son's ability and desire to tell terrific stories may not fade anytime soon? You are helping me understand the middle child; I thank you for that
Terrific post, as usual. You always give me something to think about.
islaygirl On Sunday, October 29 at 1:57 pm
My 3yo daughter thinks her father is hispanic. not that she can articulate it, but she says he's brown (he's olive-skinned italian, and v tan) and we're white (as the wonder bag we came in. scottish.) it totally makes me giggle because to her it's just another identifier like eye color or hair color. she goes to a super-diverse school (love that) so she's one of like 20 white kids out of 100 instead of 99 white kids out of 100 like i was in my new england upbringing.
ramble? why yes, i think i will.
Vicki On Sunday, October 29 at 2:08 pm
I have SOOO many insightful things to say about having a black grandpa, but I can't get them together in my mind right now because my 10 year old drama queen is having a melt down over the wheels on the dishwasher. Against every notion in my body, I must go save her from herself. I'll try to come back later with my ever SOOO insightful comments.
Anonymous On Sunday, October 29 at 2:28 pm
watched Roots and swelled with pride… OMG, that is freaking funny!!!
Pioneer Woman On Sunday, October 29 at 3:27 pm
Robin…great thoughts/reflections.
Jenni in KS…you, too. Wow. I can't wait for mine to get to be teenagers. "I love the color of his soul." Lovely.
Spamboy…ha! My dad grew the same 70's moustache. Tell your dad I said, "Hola!"
Pam…:) I'm feelin' you today, girl.
Devon…how true!
Morgie…awwww. You've still got soul, sister.
Mom23…any help you need with a middle child, I'm here to help.
IslayGirl…I love it when you ramble. And now I understand the last name. I always, always, always wanted to be Italian growing up. I'm posting about that sometime.
Vicki…come back soon.
claudia On Sunday, October 29 at 5:20 pm
I am so slow today. For a while I kept wondering, what happened to the grandpa??? And reading the comments…hehe…
I am Italian, but have freckles, reddish brown hair and green eyes. Growing up, I had a fixation with the Celts!
Karmyn R On Sunday, October 29 at 6:15 pm
Great read today!!!
When my mom remarried, I was introduced to a brand new uncle – and I thought he was a Clown. (because his nose was 3x bigger than anyone else's)

I'm sorry he turned out to be white.
I really do have two black brothers! :^D Adoption is a beautiful thing!
kimblahg On Monday, October 30 at 7:41 am
When I was a child, I wanted to be black. I lived in the white suburbs and yearned to go to a fun church full of gospel singing and enthusiastic clapping. I wanted to be part of what seemed like a more authentic culture so I can relate to what you're saying.
Teetotaled On Monday, October 30 at 5:24 pm
Loved your story.
My maiden name is Polish and apparently a lot of people assumed I was Jewish as a kid. Something I always thought was kinda funny, like your last name helps people file you into a nice neat category. Anyways, it came in handy in high school when a lot of my Jewish friends who were in their Temple youth group would get together for cool movie nights and stuff. They were always able to run a scam and sneak me in because of the last name.
Snafu On Monday, October 30 at 6:49 pm
You must stop these hilarious posts. Mrs. Snafu reads these and then blows coffee out her nose…..
PS- twistedly poignant

Somewhat disappointed
By JAG
from MAGNOLIA, OH
I bought this mainly for stairs, cars, small areas and was very disappointed in the attachments. The one I would use on carpeted stairs is not a brush, but plastic and very small.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Small but Sure!

Outstanding canister vac
By Sue F
from Allentown, PA, USA
This is true to its description, very light-weight, telescoping wand, adjustable suction, well-made. I am retired, have small rooms, some flooring and some flat-type carpeting. I only used 50% of available suction, and it did a great job. The suction power is better then my upright! Also used attachment on furniture for pet hair...excellent job! The attachments are small-sized, as is the bag, but this is a vac for small areas. After looking around at other canisters on the market, this is the very best I've seen! (Delivery was great, came several days before the promised date.)
A great little vacuum !
By Snoo
from Brooklyn, NY, USA
I was originally on the fence about purchasing the Bissell Zing since there were many complaints about the hard-to-find dust bags. I decided to go for it any way (and figure out the bag situation later) since it already came with some replacement dust bags and a coupon code was available for a discount. I couldn't beat the price and liked the features. After receiving the vacuum, I couldn't be more happy with it. Love the retractable cord feature, has great suction (better than I expected), is very light, the wands are made of metal instead of plastic, the suction strength is adjustable, and the oval shape of the canister and coloring add to the attractiveness of the vacuum. I haven't yet used the attachments - I feel like I don't really need them but not sure if they would be useful anyway. However to be fair, again I have not tried them. I would highly recommend this to someone who doesn't want to spend a small fortune on a vacuum, but gets great value. It doesn't disappoint !
By Margo
from NY
I would buy this product again. Extremely satisfied.
Great suction
By Lindap
from New York, NY, USA
I had high hopes for this little vac when I purchased it. I was pleased with the light weight but was very disappointed with the doll house quality of the tools. REALLY, Bissell??? Also, the hose feels very flimsy. The suction, however, is great!!! I have mixed floor surfaces and the carpeting is not a deep pile, so this vac was able to handle it. The single brush DOES need frequent cleaning and perhaps should be replaced with something else. Considering the price range and compact design of this vac, it will work well for me.

A Current Affair last week "exposed" an apartment building that doesn't allow families with kids – or even pregnant women – to buy into it.
As a result, according to their story, the heritage-listed Glenfalloch building in Brisbane's New Farm area is populated entirely by young urban professionals and retirees.
There was much shock and horror on the ACA track, with lawyers saying this was discriminatory and illegal – which seems to be the case under federal age discrimination laws.
But there's the law and then there's the way things work. In company title buildings like Glenfalloch, you have to front up for an interview with the board, or committee, who decide if you are a suitable person to come and live in there. This is where, potentially, parents and even the pregnant get weeded out.
It's also where party brats and hot-bunking, multitenanting landlords get the "don't call us". That's discrimination too … but the good kind. I, for one, would be more concerned if this building excluded certain races or gay couples.
Why? Because I don't think this is about "human rights" at all – it's about money. Company title apartments are cheaper because it's harder to get mortgages and they are known to have restrictive rules.
It seems some people want to have their cake and eat it. They want the cheap apartment with the nice views but they don't want the restrictions that come with the reduced price. Why else would you take your children to live in a building where they clearly aren't welcome?
Is it illegal? Is it discriminatory? One person quoted on the TV item said the legality hadn't been established because nobody had challenged it. So, really, is it such a big deal? If you saw the ACA track, you could barely hear the real estate agent over the howling of one kid and they even had to use subtitles. I rest my case.
And let's be clear, it's not as if there's a lack of choice. Last week the Domain website listed 2033 apartments in Brisbane that had two bedrooms or more (and at prices that would make Sydneysiders and Melburnians weep).
One reason given for the ban was that there were safety fears over the balcony heights. Maybe so. More realistically this is an older building and may not have the same level of soundproofing between apartments that some newer building enjoy. Children are noisy by nature and that can create problems for more neighbours in apartments than in houses.
We have kids in our building and it's fine. They are generally cute and well-behaved and, as well, we have grandparents who love showing off the littlies when they come to visit.
But I also know people who were driven mad by a neighbour's child who screamed and yelled all night, every night. And I have heard so many stories of parents who put down timber floors in their apartments – "Hermione has asthma so we can't have carpet" - then insist on their kids' right to run and jump around, driving their neighbours below insane.
Switching off the tabloid TV beat-up filter for a second, this whole thing smacks of "entitled" parents insisting on their right to inflict their undisciplined progeny on people who don't want to be around kids. A couple of buildings where grumps, young and old, can avoid children (and vice versa) doesn't sound like the end of the world to me.
Could this be happening elsewhere in Australia? Strata law in NSW forbids the passing of by-laws that say children aren't allowed, unless the strata scheme has been specifically set up for retirees. But this is company title and I know a few CT buildings in Sydney where I've never seen anyone under 30, let alone 13.
The Queensland Community Titles Management Act and the South Australian Strata Titles Act don't refer to kids at all and the Victorian act only mentions that you can restrict access to children from certain areas if there is a safety concern. The West Australian Strata Titles Act also doesn't mention children but it does say owners can pass a by-law restricting a building to over-55s or retirees.
The default position for all territories is a federal age discrimination law which says it's illegal to discriminate against another person on the ground of their age by, among other things, refusing to let them access to accommodation. This doesn't over-ride state laws that allow retirement complexes for the over-55s, but it does fill in the gaps where no state law exists.
So can the residents of company title buildings expect to hear the pitter-patter of tiny feet any time soon? I doubt it. If you don't advertise the building as being child-free but the real estate agents point out that the building has no children in it or even that it's not really suitable for kids, is that discriminatory?
And if the parents insist on going to an interview, well, the committee could always blackball them on the grounds that they just can't take a hint. Failing that, just ban giant 4WD strollers from the lifts – that will keep most of the "I know my rights" parents off the premises.
You'll find a link to the Current Affair story here. And you can add your share to the torrents of abuse doubtless coming my way either right here or on the Flat Chat website.

The French-born winger has been in scintillating form for the Eagles since joining from Bristol City.
But his performances have caught the eye of DR Congo, who know he qualifies for them, and their coach Claude Le Roy is keen on a call-up.
Bolasie is the cousin of current international Lomana Lua Lua and the African nation are looking to call him up in time to play in South Africa.
However, whilst Bolasie is interested in representing the Leopards, it will not be at the finals of the 2013 African Cup of Nations, which would have meant he missed over a month of the Championship season.
"No he won't be playing for DR Congo at the African Cup of Nations next year," his agent Tony Finnigan confirmed to Sky Sports.
"He is interested and is flattered by the interest from DR Congo, but he has just moved to Palace, is enjoying his football and wants to concentrate on them for now.
"It is something he will look at, but he will not be going to South Africa - it is not the right time for him."

We here at VH1 would like to extend the heartiest of congrats to this year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees: Donna Summer, Heart, Rush, Public Enemy, Albert King, Randy Newman. Additionally, Lou Adler and Quincy Jones will both receive the Ahmet Ertegun Award for non-performers.
This year's class includes an eclectic mix — a disco diva, lady rockers, prog-rock legends, hip-hop pioneers, a guitar hero and, um, Randy Newman (none like him!) among them — and they make for worthy bunch, to be sure. We're particularly thrilled to see that first time nominees Public Enemy and Rush, as well as VH1 Divas honoree Donna Summer and our favorite female rockers, have made the cut. But we have to ask, what about those who were passed over?
Our very (scientific!) polls showed that you all are probably excited about the inclusion of Rush in this year's class of honorees, as well as that of Heart, Donna Summer and Albert King; but the numbers also have us thinking that there were a lot of people pulling for early ear-shatterers, Deep Purple, and rock's leading lady, Joan Jett, both of whom will have to try their luck again next year. We also might have liked to see some more love for NWA and their gangsta rap and Kraftwerk's prescient bleep-blooping, because why not let more rappers and weirdos into rock and roll? But, hey, there is always next year!

above mountains I soar like an eagle,

peace and joy fill my soul
arched rainbow seems to climb straight to heaven
there in the blue, I feel one with the universe

Best Steak House St. Louis 2005 - The Best Steak House
516 N. Grand Blvd.
St. Louis, MO 63103
"Next!" "Next!" "Next!" And the cooks point down the line, further and further, faster and faster, demanding orders. It's half past noon on a weekday and you're at the Grand Center institution that is the Best Steak House (established 1964), a cafeteria-style restaurant teeming with workaday life and scrumptious $12 steak dinners and side orders like $1.15 French fries or sour cream for 32 cents plus tax. But there's no time to revel in the bourgeois brilliance of it all. Soon you'll be "Next!" and you'd better know what you want, because these cooks sweating away at the grill behind the cafeteria shield mean business, and so do the two dozen people queued up behind you who want their sixteen-ounce bone-in porterhouses and ten-ounce bone-in sirloins now. So what's it gonna be -- the $6.25 rib-eye special? The steak and shrimp plate? Maybe a chicken Monterey sandwich (you weenie!)? Whatever you choose, don't worry: It's all good. No -- actually it's the Best.

In the United States, 90 percent of all loggerhead nesting occurs in Florida. The majority of this nesting takes place on the east coast of Florida. In fact, in Brevard County there were 23,457 loggerhead nests in 2014.
The loggerhead turtle is the most common sea turtle found in Florida. It has a reddish-brown shell and is named for its large head. Adults can weigh between 200 and 350 pounds and can reach 3 feet in length. Loggerheads typically nest in Florida from April through September.
Females return to their nesting beach every two or more years to lay about four to seven nests, one about every 14 days. Each nest contains on average 100-126 eggs that incubate about 60 days.

The Joys of Mens Spandex Swimwear
Mens Spandex swimwear has been a hot commodity ever since it was first introduced during the 1968 Summer Olympics. Members of both the men's swimming team and men's diving team all wore identical swimsuits made from Spandex. Women and men both swooned over the way those guys looked when they strutted out to the pool. Two memorable names that come to mind are Greg Louganis and Mark Spitz. Both of these men had amazing abilities in the water but they were also quite handsome. That handsomeness was only emphasized when they wore those Spandex swimsuits.
It wasn't long before men everywhere started seeking out mens Spandex swimwear for themselves. They wanted men and women to start swooning over THEM, too. Spandex wasn't only used in the making of mens swimsuits. There were various swimsuit styles for women that were created from Spandex. These were also perfect for women to wear while swimming or diving, but it was the mens swimwear made from Spandex that actually caught on. In fact, a large majority of the male population worldwide are still wearing these types of swimsuits, and with good reason. These swimsuits go a long way to flattering an already hot male body and can even help out the somewhat less than perfect ones, too.
Mens Spandex swimwear isn't difficult to find. It's available nearly everywhere that sells swimwear for men. The issue is that most of the mainstream shops and stores that sell these items are not open to the more unique styles of these swimsuits. They all sell pretty much the same style, which is the Speedo type of swimsuit. There's certainly nothing wrong with Speedos, but there are many other styles of mens swimsuits made from Spandex to choose from if you just know the right places to look.
Living in a big city can provide you with various shopping options, but if you live in a small town, chances are you're not going to be able to find many places that will offer you sexy mens Spandex swimwear. Now, you can always decide to take a road trip and do your shopping in the big city located closest to you. That can be a lot of fun, especially if you're taking a friend or partner with you. It can also be an extra expense that you could have spent on your new swimsuit or swimsuits. Of course, it's completely up to you whether or not you want to shop in public stores.
On the other hand, if you prefer to shop in a more private manner, there are some great websites online that you can hit up to find the perfect mens Spandex swimwear. Actually, when you put those words into your favorite search engine, you'll probably come up with thousands of websites. Now, you can choose to go through each of those websites to see if any of them have what you're looking for, or you can go straight to the top of the list and visit koalaswim.com.
If you're not familiar with this website, you've been missing out on quite a treat. Koalaswim.com is the home of professional mens swimwear, underwear and fetish wear designer, Michael David. His love affair with Spandex began when he was still teenager and was introduced to mens Spandex swimwear by a neighbor. As soon as he slipped on that Spandex swimsuit, he knew what his future career would be. Not long after that, Michael began designing swimsuits for men that could be made from Spandex. These designs as well as brand new ones are all available to you on koalaswim.com.
Michael has been designing specialty menswear for over 20 years and has perfected many original and unique designs that men all over the world have grown to love. His designs can be found in the closets of enlightened and fashion conscious men everywhere. In fact, there are men that simply won't buy mens Spandex swimwear unless they're buying it from koalaswim.com. The designs there simply cannot be outdone. Michael offers quality as well as uniqueness and style in each of his designs. Not only that, but these designs are comfortable as well as flattering.
One thing that needs to be addressed is the body types of the men interested in purchasing Spandex swimsuits. While MOST men will be able to wear these types of mens swimsuits, there are going to be some men with body types that aren't going to look flattering in ANY type of swimsuit. That's what you need to consider before purchasing any mens Spandex swimwear. For instance, if you're 5'5" and weigh 300 pounds, chances are you should spend money on healthy foods and a gym membership before investing in any Spandex swimsuits. Besides, with all of that excess weight hanging off of you, people won't even be able to SEE your awesome swimsuit. That's why it's important to make sure that you can at least FIT INTO a Spandex swimsuit before making the commitment to purchase one.
Having said that, it's not necessary that you have a PERFECT body in order to carry off mens Spandex swimwear. In fact, it might just encourage you to tone up a bit if you need it when you know that you'll be getting lots of looks by wearing Spandex swimsuits in public. Once you've made the decision to build up your swimsuit wardrobe with the help of selections found on koalaswim.com, there are so many choices available for you to browse through.
Something else you should know is that all of Michael David's designs have been personally worn and tested by Michael himself. He's quite the perfectionist when it comes to the mens Spandex swimwear that he offers for sale. He understands that when men spend their hard earned money, they want to get something that's worth it. That's why Michael's designs are all made from high quality material and with top notch workmanship. So if Michael's not 100 percent happy with the way his designs feel when he tries them out, he scraps them and goes back to the drawing board. Once he he's made the necessary improvements, he'll try the design out again. Only after he's perfectly satisfied with his designs will he make them available for sale on koalaswim.com.
There's a lot to be said about the mens Spandex swimwear for sale on koalaswim.com. When you start shopping around there, you'll find various stylish Spandex swimsuits such as the Freedom Bikini. This one lets you be patriotic no matter what time of year it is or where you may be at the time. It's a hot and sexy red, white and blue Spandex bikini that shows off your toned "assets" like nothing else. This bikini fits in such a way that you'll love the looks you get from people at the poolside barbeque or on the beach while you're catching some waves and some sun while showing off your newest mens Spandex swimwear.
If you're a man that loves to mix and match while also getting great value for your money, you should definitely check out the Ecstasy Bikini. This is a bikini that also has two accessories you can buy to add to it. There's the bikini, a thong and a snazzy kilt style cover up all created from a dapper Scottish patterned Spandex. You're probably already thinking of all the possibilities with this group. The bikini or thong can be worn separately or together and the kilt can serve as a cover up for either of them. If you're really brave and love wearing mens Spandex swimwear, you can actually wear only the kilt. That would certainly keep people guessing as to what you're hiding underneath.
You also don't have to wait until the weather is warm before shopping for your new swimwear. Who's to say that you won't be traveling somewhere warm or enjoying a stay at a resort hotel with a warm indoor swimming pool? Of course, you're going to need a hot swimsuit or two to take with you and show off your hot body. This is the perfect time to visit koalaswim.com and browse through their pages of stylish and sexy mens Spandex swimwear.
The items that you'll find on koalaswim.com are awesome, but there's an extra added treat in the form of the male models wearing these items. If you enjoy some tasty, mouthwatering eye candy, then you MUST go have a look at these guys. Viewing these guys is something that both men and women can enjoy. While the women are there looking, they can also pick out a few of the sexy items there for their partner. It's almost a guarantee that any women seeing those models wearing creations by Michael David will want to also see their men wearing these items.
Mens Spandex swimwear isn't ALL that you'll find at koalaswim.com, but it's certainly a large part of it. That's another reason why you can consider this website to be one that cannot be missed if you're serious about wearing swimsuits that will always stand out in a crowd, no matter how big it may be. Why not start shopping today?
Men's Spandex Swimwear and Vacation
I have looked at a lot of different mens spandex swimwear designs over the last couple of weeks, and I have found that I am quite excited about wearing mine for the first time. I wasn't so sure about whether or not I could take them to my local beach but, since I am going on vacation next week; I figure I can try them out somewhere that no one would know me. I feel that would be the best possible occasion to try something new like this as I won't have to listen to any of my friends giving me a hard time about what I am wearing.
If I enjoy my mens spandex swimwear while I am on vacation, then I can tell all my friends that everyone I met on vacation was wearing something like this, and it will make them feel like they are missing out on something. I am pretty sure that I am going to do just fine with them, but I do hope that I am not the only guy on the beach during my vacation that is wearing something like this. That would probably be the most embarrassing thing that could ever happen to me now that I think about it.
As popular as these mens spandex swimwear designs are these days, I am pretty sure that I won't be the only one out there. Of course, I am going to pack a couple of my ordinary swimsuits just in case as I would hate to not be able to go to the beach if they don't allow something like these on that particular beach. Hopefully, I won't have to unpack them, though, as all I want to do is get a great tan and relax on the beach. I really can't wait for my vacation to start so that I can see what my life might end up being like after spandex. That moment is highly anticipated.

To be fair, it's incredibly easy to get bored with current content. Sure, things like the Molten Front and Firelands are fun and exciting for a while, but several months later when you find yourself running the same content over and over ... well.
I'm always looking for new and different things to do with my shadow priest. Last year, when I started getting bored with Icecrown Citadel, I started running heroic Magisters' Terrace solo, farming it for all sorts of goodies inside that I never wound up getting when the content was relevant. It turns out that soloing that stuff was a lot of fun, and judging by the emails I got after, a lot of you agreed with me.
Some of you have been pressuring me to update that article for Cataclysm. Obviously, a lot has changed. Mainly, we've gotten stronger, but we've also got a few new tools at our disposal. Soloing Magisters' Terrace is old news. This time around, we're going to solo some more intimidating content: Wrath heroics and BC raids.
For those who have never tried soloing a raid instance before, ask a friend to join a group with you on an alt they don't plan to run content on for a while. (Remember, being in a raid group halts all progress towards completing quests.) Once they join, press the O key, go to the raid tab, and choose "convert to raid." Your friend is then free to log off -- his alt will stay in the party, and you'll be able to enter any raid you want.
Before you start any content on your own, whether it be a 10-man raid or 5-man instance, be sure to stop off at the Auction House first and stock up on buff items. You'll want, at a minimum:
- A stack or two of food. Grab something that offers a +90 intellect and stamina buff, like Fortune Cookies or Severed Sagefish Head.
- A Flask of the Draconic Mind. The +300 intellect buff means more damage, and more damage means (importantly!) more self-healing through Vampiric Embrace. It also persists through death, which is super-useful if you're going to be dying a lot.
- Some may find it situationally useful to trade the Flask of the Draconic Mind for a Scroll of Intellect IX and Prismatic Elixir to help protect against magic-using enemies.
- A few Volcanic Potions are always welcome, especially for pre-potting before pulling a particularly difficult boss.
Why you want to do it Karazhan has some tier 4 tokens and a lot of other interesting-looking cloth gear you might want to stock up on for transmogrification. Attumen the Horseman also drops the Fiery Warhorse's Reins, a pretty sweet mount that you won't have to /roll against anybody to get. Also, you may want the rep with The Violet Eye to grab an achievement if you don't already have it.
Karazhan is the gigantic tower located in lonely Deadwind Pass in Eastern Kingdoms. If you're looking to get your feet wet in some solo content, Karazhan is a good place to start. The raid instance launched with The Burning Crusade in 2007, and because it's a 10-man raid (as opposed to a 25-man), it's the easiest of all the BC raid instances.
I advise clearing out your bags of everything but the essentials before you head into Kara. There will be a lot of cloth drops, greens (i.e., BC-era enchanting mats), gray trash drops you can vendor, and even some crafting patterns and epics. Running Kara isn't as lucrative as it used to be, but you can still clear several hundred gold worth of cash and prizes, if not a thousand or more, in one run.
In Kara, like many other raid instances in the game, a large number of trash mobs are tied to the bosses such that if you aggro the boss, all the trash will come running. Given that a lot of mobs are low-health (and since Mind Sear tears s*** up for real), this isn't necessarily going to doom you, but you generally want to clear out all the trash mobs leading up to a boss before pulling the boss. No point in making matters harder than they are.
For trash, as well as bosses where you'll face off against adds (accidentally pulled or otherwise), Mind Sear is your best friend. Bosses here generally aren't that tough if you're at level 85 and have decent gear. Just be sure to use Power Word: Shield early and often (best paired with Glyph of Power Word: Shield and Improved Power Word: Shield when soloing for some bonus healing), and use your cooldowns when you can. Having a few Mythical Healing Potions on hand for use in a clutch can be very handy, too.
Bosses aren't difficult here -- consider this your training grounds for other content. One key trick to master: The Shadowfiend Fade. After calling your Shadowfiend, casting Fade will send the pack of enemies after your shadowy friend instead of you. (We salute your sacrifice, dark, sinewy friend!) This gives you time to cast actual heals if needed, let Vampiric Embrace restore some life, clear debuffs (Dispel, Cure Disease), and push you closer time-wise to your next available PW:S cooldown.
A special note of warning: The Mana Feeders that are infesting The Menagerie are immune to magical attacks. And to make matters worse, they drain your mana on successful attack, preventing yourself from healing through a large pull. Getting past these guys requires a lot of patience and very small, limited pulls.
Wrath heroics
Why you want to do it For the challenge! Also, you'll wind up with a ton of valuable Frostweave Cloth, Wrath-era enchanting mats (or better yet, hundreds of gold worth of vendorable items), and a chance at the elusive Reins of the Blue Proto-Drake that you've only seen drop that one time and that dude who wasn't even in your guild won it and FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFfffffffnnnn. You'll also get minor amounts of honor (7 or 8 per boss) if your faction holds Wintergrasp. (People still participate in that?)
I've had a lot of fun soloing Wrath heroics this past week. (Best part: I finally got Consumption Junction, which quite honestly is about impossible not to get while soloing Drak'tharon.) Again, the difficulty level here is pretty mild -- this is something that just about any level 85 shadow priest can do. Some trash pulls are difficult, but if you play smart, bosses go down pretty easy.
My biggest piece of advice? Focus fire down your enemies rather than trying to AOE them down. The sooner you take damage-dealers out of the picture, the better. And remember, these enemies are level 80, so you'll still be able to benefit from Spirit Tap if you finish with Shadow Word: Death.
The Next Challenge: Serpentshrine Cavern
I put this out there as a challenge to exceptionally well-geared shadow priests: Head into 25-man Serpentshrine Cavern raid and see how far you can get. I've made a small handful of attempts on the raid myself -- specifically, against the first boss, Hydross the Unstable. It's a real challenge, to be sure.
An effort like this requires you to be at the top of your game and take advantage of every buff and bonus you can. Pre-pot and pre-PW:S before the pull. Use a Prismatic Elixir and Scroll of Intellect IX to mitigate spell damage -- the former does help a lot. You might even want to play around with your talents and glyphs. (Consider talents like Inner Sanctum, which reduce the magic damage you take.)
My strategy is this: Get all those DOTs on Hydross quickly, and then Mind Sear him to take care of the adds he summons. From here, it's a game of stamina. The Shadowfiend Fade technique (see above) works wonders here and gives you a much-needed breath of air in the middle of the fight. Backing away from him while you're casting your instant-cast spells is another good technique to limit damage -- he'll get slightly fewer attacks in on you as a result of his moving too. Dispersion works well when you're well into the fight and need to restore some mana; casting PW:S immediately before guarantees you'll also come out of your Dispersed state with more health than you went into it with.
Success here depends on whether or not you can think like a tank; trying to burn this guy down without strategy will only leave you dead. If you move him away from the towers flanking him in his starting position (recommended on pull), he'll enter his nature phase, where he deals nature damage and applies a stacking debuff on you, Mark of Corruption, every 15 seconds. When that 30-second debuff grows to the point that you're taking 50% extra damage from nature attacks, you need to drag Hydross back under the water beams to force a frost phase, where he ceases nature attacks. At that point, a frost-based debuff, Mark of Hydross, starts to build. When that gets to 50%, pull him back out.
Be careful -- each time you phase change, you'll spawn four elementals that need to be AOEed down immediately. You'll also need to be cautious with your Shadowfiend -- Hydross will gain bonus abilities (including a 4-second stun every 7 seconds while in his frost phase and a healing reduction debuff in his nature phase) when it's present.
Can you beat him? If so, congratulations -- you've just done the work of 25 men. Who needs tanks, anyway?
Are you more interested in watching health bars go down than watching them bounce back up? We've got more for shadow priests, from Shadow Priest 101 to a list of every monster worth mind controlling and strategies for raiding Blackwing Descent.
