General Information
On this page, we list your Unholy Death Knight core abilities and how they should be used together (rotation) in World of Warcraft WoD 6.2.2. We also explain when to use your various cooldowns. Then, we go deeper and present all the subtleties that you will need to know if you want to excel at playing an Unholy Death Knight.

About Our Reviewer
This guide has been reviewed and approved by Tegu, one of the best DPS Death Knights in the world, who raids in Serenity. You can follow him on Twitter.
1. Single Target Rotation
The single target Unholy Death Knight rotation differs depending on your Tier 1 and 7 talent choices. Breath of Sindragosa and Defile should be used with Plague Leech, whereas Necrotic Plague should be used with Unholy Blight. The rotation follows a very specific priority system, with notes on situational talent and ability usage.
- Cast Dark Transformation when you have 5 stacks of Shadow Infusion.
- Cast Unholy Blight
- When Necrotic Plague is not ticking on the target AND/OR
- When Necrotic Plague is below 15 stacks.
- Cast Breath of Sindragosa (see below for details)
- when you have over 75 Runic Power AND
- your first set of runes are available.
- Cast Plague Leech
- only when you have 2 runes fully depleted AND
- Outbreak is within 1 second of coming off cooldown OR
- your diseases are about to expire.
- Cast Soul Reaper (use Blood Tap if a rune is needed)
- Only when Soul Reaper will tick (5 seconds after the cast) when the target is below 45% health.
- Cast Defile, if you have taken this talent (use Blood Tap if you need a rune). Only use it if the target will not move out of its area of effect.
- Maintain your disease(s) ( Frost Fever and Blood Plague,
or Necrotic Plague) up at all times.
- Apply disease(s) with Outbreak or Plague Strike. Using Outbreak while stacking Necrotic Plague with Unholy Blight will add another stack. This should be done when you are below 15 stacks and you have an available global cooldown to cast it.
- Cast Festering Strike
- to extend the duration of Necrotic Plague OR
- if you have two Blood or two Frost runes available.
- Cast Scourge Strike, when you have an Unholy or a Death rune available.
- Cast Blood Tap when you have 10 or more Blood Charges.
- Cast Death Coil
- when Dark Transformation is not up OR
- when you have a Sudden Doom proc OR
- when you have more than 80 Runic Power.
When using Festering Strike to refresh Necrotic Plague, the duration of Necrotic Plague should either match or exceed the remaining cooldown duration on Unholy Blight. Maximising the uptime of 15 stacks of Necrotic Plague is crucial for dealing damage with the Necroblight playstyle.
This rotation works best while using the Blood Tap talent. Managing Blood Tap is a simple matter of making sure to use your charges before they cap (at 12). The easiest way of doing this is to use your charges while runes are recharging as Blood and Frost, or by triggering Unholy (Death) runes to avoid rune desynching (explained below).
1.1. Presence
You should always be in Unholy Presence.
2. Multiple Target Rotation
The multiple target (AoE) rotation is based closely on the single target priority listed above, with the following notable changes depending on the amount of targets in cleave range.
- Against 2+ targets
- While using Defile or Breath of Sindragosa
- Use Blood Boil once every 30 seconds, if the targets will live for the majority if your diseases' duration.
- Use Death and Decay on cooldown, placing it above Scourge Strike in the aforementioned priority.
- While using Necrotic Plague
- This naturally jumps to targets within range each time that it ticks for damage. If there are a large amount of enemies, Blood Boil can be used to instantly spread the plague to every target within range. Keep in mind that Blood Boil will prioritise spreading the longest duration Necrotic Plague that is active on any target within range.
- As with single target, the priority with Necroticblight AoE is to also maintain a 15 stack plague until Unholy Blight's cooldown is up. Weave in Festering Strike in between your Blood Boils as necessary to extend the duration enough to match or exceed Unholy Blight's cooldown.
- While using Defile or Breath of Sindragosa
- Against 4+ targets
- Cast Blood Boil on Death runes, instead of Scourge Strike.
- Use Plague Leech on cooldown, regardless of Outbreak's cooldown or on the duration of your diseases (as you can spread diseases right back onto the target).
2.1. Presence
You should always be in Unholy Presence.
3. Cooldown Usage
As an Unholy Death Knight, you have a total of 3 DPS cooldowns. Below, we explain how they are best used.
3.1. Summon Gargoyle
Summon Gargoyle is a very powerful cooldown that is free of cost. You generally want to use it whenever it is available, but you can save it for a period when you need to do extra damage. The gargoyle scales with spell haste, and using it together with Heroism/ Bloodlust/ Time Warp allows the gargoyle to get a few extra casts off, increasing its damage slightly.
3.2. Empower Rune Weapon
Empower Rune Weapon refreshes all of your runes and grants you 25 runic power. It has a 5-minute cooldown and, as such, it can realistically be used only twice per fight.
Empower Rune Weapon should be used when all of your runes are on cooldown and you have low runic power. It is useful in providing a large burst of DPS, so keep that in mind when deciding when to use it.
3.3. Army of the Dead
Army of the Dead summons a number of ghouls to fight at your side for a short while. It has a high rune cost, so it is only worth using about 5 to 6 seconds before the pull. It should never be channeled during an encounter (unless there is a window of complete downtime).
4. Optional Read: Mastering Your Unholy Death Knight
The above-mentioned priorities (and the resulting rotation) may appear complex and confusing. To alleviate this, we will explain, among other things, the rotation in a bit more detail.
4.1. Dark Simulacrum
Dark Simulacrum is a very special ability. It places a debuff on the target, which causes you to mimic their next spell cast that costs Mana to use. This grants you the ability (it will replace Dark Simulacrum on your bars) for a short amount of time. Using this mimicked ability can be very beneficial (even exploitative) on some encounters.
Note that Dark Simulacrum does not work, most times, in PvE.
4.2. Diseases
Thanks to Festering Strike prolonging the duration of your diseases, they should only drop off very rarely. In case your diseases to drop off, you should simply re-apply them with Outbreak. In case Outbreak is also unavailable, Plague Strike will apply both diseases.
If you have chosen Plague Leech as your tier 1 talent (which should only happen if you are using Defile or Breath of Sindragosa as your tier 7 talent), then you should use this ability to consume your diseases every time you can, even if Outbreak is not available to re-apply them.
4.3. Necroblight
Necroblight is a playstyle that involves using both the Unholy Blight (Tier 1) and Necrotic Plague (Tier 7) talents. These two talents synergise very well, leading to a playstyle that has excellent results in AoE and cleaving situations. The playstyle also affects the single target priority and playstyle.
Instead of normal disease management, your goal becomes to maintain 15 stacks of Necrotic Plague for as long as possible. Each time the effect gains a new stack (through the use of abilities that normally apply your diseases), it jumps to a nearby enemy. Moreover, Necrotic Plague can be spread to all nearby enemies with Blood Boil.
To make ideal use of Necroblight, you should start by using Unholy Blight, which will result in a 10-stack Necrotic Plague, and then extending this Necrotic Plague long enough for Unholy Blight to come off cooldown once again. To extend Necrotic Plague, you should use Festering Strike and Outbreak (in other words, you should use them as needed, violating the single target priority we listed at the start of this page).
Another good option that leads to having more runes to play with is to run Necrotic Plague with Plague Leech, but that only works on specific encounters in Hellfire Citadel like Mannoroth and Xhul'horac. The idea is to keep your Necrotic Plague rolling on the boss while using Plague Leech on other targets and gaining more runes that help for the AoE situations that follow. These allow you to ad another Blood Boil or two while keeping Necrotic Plague up at 15 stacks by using Festering Strike.
4.4. Breath of Sindragosa Playstyle
Breath of Sindragosa has a 2-minute cooldown and it requires ample preparation to use correctly. Before you activate it, you should have saved up between 80 and 100 Runic Power, as well as 3 available runes.
While Breath of Sindragosa is active, you should follow a strict and unique priority system to optimise the damage and duration of this talent, as follows.
- When Breath of Sindragosa Begins ticking
- use your Legendary Ring;
- cast racial abilities like Blood Fury or Berserking;
- cast on-use trinkets;
- consume a Strength potion;
- Cast Dark Transformation when Shadow Infusion reaches 5 stacks.
- If a spell damage ability can be absorbed, cast Anti-Magic Shell to generate Runic Power.
- Cast Plague Strike or Outbreak if diseases are not ticking on the target.
- Cast Festering Strike on Blood and Frost runes while you have less than 80 Runic Power.
- Cast Arcane Torrent if you are a Blood Elf and you have less than 70 Runic Power.
- Cast Scourge Strike on Death and Unholy runes if you have less than 88 Runic Power.
- Cast Blood Tap if you have 5 or more Blood Charges.
- Cast Plague Leech if 2 runes are fully depleted.
- Cast Empower Rune Weapon if you have less than 60 Runic Power.
- Cast Death Coil when you have a Sudden Doom proc.
Ideally, you should begin saving resources for Breath of Sindragosa about 10-15 seconds before it becomes available.
In the event that you need to use the Legendary Ring on the pull, then you should perform the following sequence.
- Cast Army of the Dead 5-6 seconds before the pull.
- Cast Summon Gargoyle on the pull.
- Use Outbreak.
- Use Festering Strike.
- Use Scourge Strike.
- Use Arcane Torrent (if you are a Blood Elf).
- Use Breath of Sindragosa with any on-use trinkets and racials you may have.
- Use Festering Strike.
- Use Scourge Strike.
- Use Plague Leech.
Finally, if your raid leader wants you to delay using your Legendary Ring, you should also delay using Breath of Sindragosa until such a time.
4.5. Dark Transformation and Death Coil
Each time you cast Death Coil, you stack a buff on your ghoul that increases its damage done by 10% per stack, for 30 seconds. When the buff reaches 5 stacks, you can cast Dark Transformation, which consumes the stacks and significantly buffs your ghoul for 30 seconds.
To put it simply, you should use Dark Transformation on cooldown. Maximising the amount of time that your ghoul is transformed is an important part of your playstyle.
Note that your ghoul cannot gain any stacks of the buff while he is transformed, meaning that you should attempt to save your runic power and use a series of Death Coils as soon as his transformation ends.
Sometimes, you will get free Death Coil procs from Sudden Doom. In this case, you should use the free Death Coil regardless of the state of your ghoul's transformation, since it may otherwise be wasted by a new proc.
Dark Transformation is a huge part of your Unholy playstyle, especially with Tier 18 Set Bonuses. It is important to be able to keep the buff rolling through the fight, which is done by pooling Runic Power when there are 10-15 seconds left of the buff so you can use 3 Death Coils back to back and obtain the buff instantly. If Dark Transformation is about to fall off and you have a Sudden Doom proc, make sure you save it so it helps you transforming your pet right away whenever you can.
4.6. Soul Reaper
Soul Reaper can be cast at any time during the fight (provided that you have the necessary rune), and it works much like a DoT that has a single tick. Specifically, Soul Reaper instantly applies a debuff to the target, that lasts for 5 seconds, and at the end of this duration, it will tick once.
Soul Reaper will only tick if the target is at or below 45% health at the moment when the tick takes place. If the target has more than 45% health, the tick will do no damage, and the entire Soul Reaper will essentially have no effect whatsoever, other than using up the respective rune.
So, even though in our priority we mention including Soul Reaper in your rotation when the target is at or below 45% health, in reality, you can start using Soul Reaper slightly sooner than that, provided that the target will be at 45% health or less at the time that the 5-second debuff expires.
4.7. Anti-Magic Shell Usage
Anti-Magic Shell absorbs 100% of all damage taken for 5 seconds, and grants you runic power based on the amount of damage that it absorbs.
While this ability has amazing survivability benefits, allowing you to often taken practically no damage from various raid-damaging mechanics, it also has great benefits for your DPS.
Indeed, the amount of runic power you gain if you absorb a lot of magic damage is far from negligible.
Therefore, you should always try to make use of Anti-Magic Shell to boost your runic power generation throughout the fight. The best way to do it is to know when a raid-damaging attack is coming, and to have Anti Magic Shell up for that time. Then, simply enjoy the extra runic power (and do not forget to spend it).
That said, make sure that your Anti-Magic Shell is not needed for something much more important to your own survival, before using it just to get more runic power.
Finally, while you can use Anti-Magic Shell to purposefully stand in void zones, you should be very careful when doing this.
4.8. Blood Tap and Rune Desync
One of the main benefits of Blood Tap is that the rune it generates is always a Death rune. Death runes are inherently more valuable because they can always be the best rune for the given situation and because of the flexibility they provide. However, this interferes with Unholy's Reaping passive. When a Frost rune that is currently recharging in Death status is activated with Blood Tap, that rune will refresh into a non-Death status when it gets used up.
So, instead of the 2 Frost (Death) runes that you would have had if you had waited for the rune to naturally recharge, you instead have 2 Death and 1 Frost runes after the rune recharges, meaning the net gain of the Blood Tap was a Frost rune.
Additionally, if you have not also generated a Blood rune with Blood Tap, you will have a spare Frost rune which cannot be paired with a Blood rune until you generate the same problem with your Blood runes. This means that Blood Tap can effectively generate 1 normal rune, and convert one other Death rune to normal, as you pair the orphan Frost with a Death that could have been otherwise used on Scourge Strike.
The only way to avoid this is to hold your Blood Charges and only use them while pairs of Blood/Frost runes are recharging in a non-death state. Alternatively, you can try generating an Unholy (Death) rune, as that rune can always be used on Scourge Strike, regardless of its Death status. If managed properly, the rune desync is trivial, however, this can be quite difficult to achieve due to the added micromanagement and potential for over capping Blood Charges.
Overall, you can use either Blood Tap or Runic Corruption, but we recommend learning to use Blood Tap. If you are likely to cap Blood Charges, Runic Corruption is the better choice. If you are using a macro to Blood Tap, Runic Corruption is the better choice as manual control of the talent is required to optimally use it.
4.9. Legendary Ring Usage
The Legendary Ring, Thorasus, the Stone Heart of Draenor, provides a 25% increase in damage done for 15 seconds, at the end of which it causes you to deal 25% of the damage done during these 15 seconds to all enemies in a 10-yard radius around you. This ability has a 2-minute cooldown.
The ring can be used in a macro together with Breath of Sindragosa. This is the main reason why Unholy DPS performs better than Frost, and why Breath of Sindragosa is such a strong talent choice. Obviously, in a raid group, you may sometimes be required by the raid leader to save the ring for when more burst DPS is needed, and you should respect this.
Alternatively, the ring can be used in a macro with your trinkets with on-use effects.
- #showtooltip
- /cast Breath of Sindragosa
- /use 12
- /use 13
- /use 14
The above macro binds the ring to both trinkets and Breath of Sindragosa. Simply edit it as needed. For example, if you want to use the ring independently (due to raid strategy), then remove the use 12 line from the macro (to still use trinkets and Breath of Sindragosa together) or stop using the macro altogether. If you only want to use the ring with Pillar of Frost, then remove the use 13 and use 14 lines.

Garnett to play 15 minutes vs. Grizzlies
Updated: March 22, 2009, 7:06 PM ETAssociated Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Boston forward Kevin Garnett was expected to be limited to about 15 minutes again Saturday night against the Memphis Grizzlies as he continues to play his way back after missing 13 games with a right knee strain.
Celtics coach Doc Rivers said before the game that he hopes to extend the All-Star's minutes on Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers.
In his first game back Friday night against San Antonio, Garnett played 14:39 -- about 7 minutes at the start ...

Brocade a Top Buyout Prospect for 2013
(EMC), Hewlett-Packard and even Dell. As enterprise spending continues to recover, there is a chance that Brocade will begin to see its stock price appreciate a bit more. Also, the company continues to be underestimated when it comes to discussing its preparation for the cloud. To that end, Brocade has taken a slightly different approach toward organization and deployment.The company understands that networks must be cloud-optimized at every critical point because companies will define not only the application performance but more importantly, the end-user experience. Nonetheless, I do worry that the bigger names within the sector will add increased pressure. In the meantime, as Brocade continues to trade at these levels, buyout rumors will persist and I expect that Cisco will close the deal in 2013. If it's good enough for Cisco, Brocade should certainly be good enough for investors. At the time of publication, the author held no position in any of the stocks mentioned. Follow @rsaintvilus This article is commentary by an independent contributor, separate from TheStreet's regular news coverage.What's more, Brocade has more than doubled its free-cash flow over the past five years, making this a buy that Cisco can easily justify. Too, a deal like this would help strengthen Cisco's enterprise and cloud position and would also be a good defensive play -- keeping Brocade out of the hands of rivals like EMC

Highlights from TheStreet Ratings analysis on ETH go as follows:Editor's Note: Any reference to TheStreet Ratings and its underlying recommendation does not reflect the opinion of TheStreet, Inc. or any of its contributors including Jim Cramer or Stephanie Link.

- ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past year. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC increased its bottom line by earning $1.46 versus $1.12 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.63 versus $1.46).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Household Durables industry. The net income increased by 108.5% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $8.19 million to $17.08 million.
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 11.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 9.1%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- The current debt-to-equity ratio, 0.36, is low and is below the industry average, implying that there has been successful management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.03, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.

Morkie Breed Information
Though it enjoys snuggling, the Morkie is not your typical couch cuddler, and it definitely has an independent side: The Morkie often needs a little privacy to recharge. However, the Morkie craves attention from family members—if left alone for long periods of time it may get bored, destructive or depressed. A nice walk, a squeaky-toy game on the carpet or an afternoon snooze with its owner will always suffice. And if you're in the market for a compact watchdog, consider the Morkie: It's protective and quite fearless.

Follow our live coverage as Fremantle hosts Essendon at Patersons Stadium
- From: Herald Sun
- April 12, 2013
ESSENDON has charged back into contention against Fremantle after booting the only five goals of the third quarter.
Live HQ: Fremantle v Essendon
In a complete reversal of the first term, the home side could manage no run or clean chain of possessions as a fired-up Bombers side dominated from siren to siren.
Two 50m penalties in quick succession handed Stewie Crameri his third goal on the cusp of the siren to cut the margin to three points.
The Dockers led by six goals at the main break.
Captain Jobe Watson sprung to life, while counterpart Matthew Pavlich remains blanketed by young Don Jake Carlisle.
DOCKER Matt de Boer has totally silenced Essendon captain Jobe Watson in a reflection of the Bombers' night at Patersons Stadium.
The Dons could salvage just one goal in the first half - which came courtesy of a Michael Hurley miss-kick that landed in the lap of Stewie Crameri.
Live HQ: Fremantle v Essendon
In the error-riddled and at times ugly contest - mainly owing to the slippery conditions - the Dockers took a six-goal lead to the main break.
Nat Fyfe was the catalyst with his class and goal sense coming to the fore in the second term.
He carried 75 SuperCoach points into the main break, while Watson took until the second term to register his first kick.
A SLICK Fremantle has totally outplayed Essendon in the first quarter with its fierce defensive pressure suffocating the Dons into sloppy turnovers and overusing the ball.
Live HQ: Fremantle v Essendon
It took 11 minutes for Hayden Ballantyne to score the first goal but another four followed for the Dockers despite losing defender Luke McPharlin to injury.
McPharlin was cleaned up by Paddy Ryder with a big bump, forcing him out of the match. Cam Sutcliffe was activated to replace the All-Australian.
Jobe Watson couldn't get a single kick in the first quarter, shutdown by Matt de Boer.
Jake Carlisle has Matthew Pavlich, while tagger Ryan Crowley was surprisingly sent to Brent Stanton.
The Dons have been smashed in the inside 50 count, with their best chance of goal coming after the siren, but ruckman Tom Bellchambers sprayed it wide.
NICK Kommer has avoided the green vest in a SuperCoach boost and will start on the field at Patersons Stadium as Essendon clashes with Fremantle tonight.
Travis Colyer will instead return and start as the Bombers substitute.
Both sides made no late changes.
Live HQ: Fremantle v Essendon
The winner will hold top position on the ladder tonight with both side's undefeated and looking ominous in the first two rounds.
The Dockers again handed their green vest to Cam Sutcliffe.
Essendon senior assistant coach Mark Thompson said tagger Heath Hocking could go to any number of star Dockers tonight, including Michael Barlow, David Mundy and Nat Fyfe.
Thompson also said the Dons would throw Jobe Watson forward if serial tagger Ryan Crowley pegs the Brownlow medallist down tonight.

Graduating Vikings set sail
Oakmont High School seniors experienced a bittersweet graduation ceremony Thursday evening on the campus quad.
The 315 graduating Vikings were leaving behind their high school years, and come this fall, many will also leave the familiarity of their families, childhood friends and hometown to venture off to college.
"I'm excited," said senior Ashley Dasmacci. "But I'm a little bit freaked out about going out into the real world."
The seniors were mainly full of smiles before the ceremony as they waited in the gymnasium in their light blue and navy gowns. But there also were some heavy hearts leading up to the big event.
"It's emotionally exhausting, definitely," said senior Minnaal Ali. "I'm excited to move on to college. I'm going to UC Irvine. But it's going to be sad not to see a lot of the people I'm used to seeing every day. It feels weird to be done."
The commencement ceremony marked a somber moment, as seniors bid well wishes to Kathleen Sirovy, Oakmont principal since 2002, who retired earlier this spring, following a brain tumor diagnosis.
Staff and students created a ceramic tile wall mural to show their appreciation for the former principal's 39 years of service to the Roseville Joint Union High School District. Sirovy was unable to attend graduation, but the school band performed the song, "Our Yesterdays Lengthen Like Shadows," in her honor.
Salutatorians James Crisp and Anthony Hong infused humor into their joint speech about entering Oakmont as "lost and confused tweens in a jungle of beautiful women and bearded men," to becoming the "biggest, baddest and, frankly, the best-looking on campus," as seniors.
Valedictorian Kayla Powers kept her message simple, urging her peers to pursue their dreams.
"Strive for success," she said. "Disregard the possibility of failure."
Fellow valedictorian Laura McManus commented on the movie "Toy Story," which came out in 1995 when she and her classmates were barely 2 years old, and the final installment that hit theaters during their last year of high school.
"Endings are inevitable," McManus said, but they're now beginning the process of stepping out into the world.
After graduation, some Vikings enjoyed sober grad night at Strikes Family Entertainment Center in Rocklin, to celebrate until 5 a.m.
Ali planned to attend. During high school, she ran track and field, was president of the speech and debate team and served as student body treasurer, among other extra-curricular activities.
"I'm going to miss being a leader on campus," she said, with a sigh. "We'll go back to being freshmen again."

Visitors are back and spending in Colorado's high country, fueling a rebound from the nadir of 2008 and 2009.
Hotels are fuller, and shops and restaurants are seeing people spending more. While most resort communities have yet to see a return to the golden days of 2006 and 2007, when spending peaked and town coffers overflowed, the slow and steady uptick from last year is promising.
"I don't think we are back where we were. We need to get a lot back, but yes, it's nice to see the graph continue to go up," said Steve Rosenthal, who has run his Colorado Footwear shop in Vail Village for 16 years. "We are seeing a change in spending of our visitors."
Happy crowds that followed the inaugural USA Pro Cycling Challenge — estimated by race officials at more than 800,000 — as well as a swell of weekly events, festivals, contests and concerts drew more tourists to the high country.
Resort towns have seen hotel occupancy grow from 48.8 percent through August 2010 to 50.6 percent through August this year, according to the Colorado Hotel and Lodging Association's monthly report. And those visitors are spending.
Sales-tax collections across the high country are up year over year and for the summer. July was especially bustling, with the peak of summer spending climbing over the previous summer's peak by more than 14 percent in Vail and Breckenridge, which both hosted the Pro Cycling Challenge.
Taxable sales at Breckenridge's shops, restaurants and lodges climbed to $18.3 million in July, the busiest summer month in several years.
"It was across the board. We saw more activity in all sectors," said the town's finance director, Brian Waldes.
Last summer, July was busy; June and August were not.
"It's more steady this year, not just one month," said Shelly Warren, manager of Breckenridge's venerable Shirt Off My Back shop. "People seem to be smarter about where they are spending money, but people are spending money."

Happy Spring! We've just about made it thru shedding season!!!..Horses are starting to look dappled , dark and just gorgeous! We recently held our first ever Quiet Hands Horsemanship Family Fun Day!! Even though weather forecast called for rain, we lucked out and had a beautiful day. All the students competed in three classes. Ground Work, round pen class, a class in Equitation and a class in posting.
Ribbons were awarded for each class!
We enjoyed demonstrations by Richard Norton in the use of a Lariat and a Bull Whip. Students and parents got their chance to try both!. We had yummy snacks provided by Emily Norton, and fun lil gift bags provided by instructor/trainer Ellie Crosby.
We're already making plans for our next family fun day show this fall!
See the slideshow for more pictures of the horses and students.
Our location has changed from University Boulevard to Boney Road. Ultra close to all the beautiful trails. The new facility has nice big round pen for training and we were able to transport our beautiful big arena to our new place as well. We're also in the process of building a pond. The horses are not quite sure what to think of that! You can be sure DC and Dulce are on the case investigating. Take a look at our updated photos..I've made a promise to myself and the horses to update my blogs more often as well.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine didn't exactly close the door on another appearance of Sabretooth, which makes sense considering the character appears again in X-Men, which takes place after Wolverine. But could Sabretooth appear in the Japan-set Wolverine sequel? MTV asked Sabretooth himself, Liev Schreiber, about the possibility of an appearance in Wolverine 2:
There's been some smatterings of conversation about it, but nothing concrete yet. I had a ball doing it, so I'd do it again. Hugh [Jackman] mentioned that he had some conversations about it, but no one's told me about it yet.
Schreiber has a preference as to what story he'd like to have explored should Victor Creed, a.k.a. Sabretooth, appear again:
I'd love to find out what happened to Victor. I'd like to find out how my Victor became Tyler Mane's Victor [in 2000's X-Men].

UNDATED (AP) -- The Chicago White Sox have worked out a one-year,
$5.6 million deal with closer Bobby Jenks, who saved 30 games and
posted a 2.63 ERA last season.
Chicago Cubs closer Kevin Gregg avoided salary arbitration by accepting a one-year deal contract worth $4.2 million. And the Philadelphia Phillies hammered out a three-year, $12 million package with setup man Ryan Madson.

Dos Cervezas?
So the other day at the comic store where I work (Beyond Comics) a couple of us dressed up for the Halloween Fest comic giveaway thing we had going on. I dressed up as my fictional alter ego, the Mexican Luchador "La Cerveza". The artist we had there doing sketches (Terry Flippo) was so inspired he drew a sketch card of La Cerveza for me.

2015 was a tumultuous year. International refugee issues and domestic racial tension have become crises we can no longer ignore. We need more justice, understanding, and compassion. As theatre researchers, intellectuals and educators, what can we do? What should we do?
This is my vision: I believe understanding is the first step we need to take in order to seek justice and balance the powers. Before we educate our students, we need to educate ourselves about the diversity of humankind. As the president of ASTR, I advocate more diversity both in our membership and in research fields, and I believe the organization should provide more opportunities for underrepresented groups.

Lionel Train Collection with American Flyer Blue Comet Canadian Pacific Diesel
- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category: -
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: Jul 23, 2012
- Channel: Auction House
I have decided to sell my lifetime collection of Lionel and American Flyer Trains. I started this hobby about 15 years ago and have been collecting trains the whole time. I am not a typical collector. I would travel around to every flea-market, yard sale, auctions or by word of mouth to buy some trains. I took them home and put them in an air conditioned upstairs bedroom and never touched them. I have never ran any of the train sets, pieces or scenry pieces that I have. The trains that I have are from a vast age range, from pre-war to current stock. I have only collected Lionel O gauge, some standard gauge and American Flyer trains. I never got into buying the HO or N scale trains. I have never ran any of these trains and have no idea of their condition, wheather they run or need work or missing parts. I just enjoyed searching for them and buying them for an investment.I do know what I have paid for them. I have made this a hobby for the last 15 years searching for these trains and I am not going to give them away. The reserve is set fair for what I have invested in them. If the reserve is not met, I may consider selling to the highest bidder, so bid if you want them! I am probably never going to set up a display as planned and have decided to let someone else enjoy them. I do not have a total list of every train that I have and I don't intend to make one. I thought I would try selling them all as one lot to save a lot of time and hassle. I will highlight some of the more rare trains that I have, please look at the pictures they will tell you more probably than what I can discribe to you. Every train item in the pictures goes with the auction. Sets, rolling stock, houses, scenery, bridges, track, transformers, etc.... There are some antique clocks in the pictures that do not go with the sale. I intend to get an amazing number of questions about these trains so let me answer some for you before you ask... 1. Yes, they all sell as one lot. 2. No, I will not separate them 3. No, They are not tested, and I don't know which ones work and which ones do not 4. No, I don't have a total list of what I have 5. No, I will not tell you the reserve, it is set at what I feel is a fair price for what I have invested 6. Shipping, I would rather you come pick them up. I the reserve is met, I would be willing to load them into a van and drive up to 200 miles to meet you from zip code 15301. 7. Payment, $500 non-refundable deposit through paypal within 24 hours of auction ending, balance when picked up in cash, if you have to pay by check, we will go to the bank together and they will verify funds 8. If the reserve is not met, I may consider selling to the highest bidder 9. Questions, if you are serious about buying this collection and need more detail, email me through the auciton questions, I can give you my phone number and we can discuss over the phone Partial Listing of What I have for auction: Around 30 Lionel Train Sets Around 5 American Flyer Train Sets About 8 extra Lionel Engines Lots of rolling stock cars Bridges, Trussels, Houses, Signals, gates, cranes, etc...

It's saving me a lot of money right now and I think that's a big concern for a lot of players."

A Columbus man was seriously injured in a tractor accident Saturday when the front bucket of the vehicle lurched into his leg.
Curtis Lucas, 47, of Columbus, was flown by Lifeline helicopter to University of Louisville Hospital following the accident at 1:39 p.m., said Maj. Todd Noblitt, spokesman for the Bartholomew County Sheriff Department. Lucas is listed in stable condition, according to hospital officials.
Lucas was working with two other men in the 7100S block of County Road 900 East using the tractor to move small boulders and rocks used in drainage systems, according to the accident report.
Shannon Burkman, 38, of Bartholomew County, was operating the tractor when his foot slipped off the clutch, causing the tractor and its front bucket to lurch forward into Lucas' leg, Noblitt said. The bucket pinned Lucas' other leg into rocks that were already unloaded, according to the accident report.
Lucas was thought to have suffered a compound fracture to one of his legs, Noblitt said. A tourniquet was applied at the scene before Lucas was transported to the hospital.
Sheriff department Sgt. T.A. Smith was the investigating officer at the scene. Elizabethtown volunteer firefighters, Columbus Township firefighters, Columbus firefighters and Lifeline were at the scene.

Opening your own restaurant is no easy feat, but often, the path leading up to it can prove more difficult. For restaurant owner Eric Banh, his road to becoming a restaurateur has had its own difficult twist and turns. At a young age, Banh fled Vietnam with his family to a refugee camp in Malaysia before making it to Canada and later, Seattle. Memories of dishes from his native Vietnam led him to open Monsoon and Ba Bar. From freezing Canadian winters to frozen chickens, Banh looks back at his journey, one where memories good and bad prove to be a powerful inspiration.

When your family fled from Vietnam to Canada, how was your experience of having to adjust to a new environment?
Our family, my mom, dad and their six kids, arrived in Alberta, Canada in December 1979 after living in a refugee camp in Malaysia, where temperatures were 95-100 degrees. Of course, there was tons of snow in the middle of winter and temperatures were minus 30 degrees plus a wind chill. It was shocking and worse than being stored in the freezer. It was extremely cold!
Safeway was the only large grocery store in Edmonton back then, and most proteins were frozen. Of course, there were a few small stores, like the ones we were used to, but they had very limited selections. The first time we found a non-frozen whole chicken at Safeway, we were very excited and then puzzled, as it had no flavor! Obviously, we now know it was an industrially raised chicken, and we were used to fresh chickens.
I read that your parents weren't pleased about your initial decision to be in the food industry. How do they now view you and your sister's success?
After announcing my decision to pursue a career in the restaurant industry, my dad didn't talk to me for three or four weeks. He said, "Your mother and I risked our lives to come here, and not to see you become a cook!" That said, my parents were foodies back in Saigon, and two years after the birth of Monsoon, they realized that both Sophie and I are very serious about our culinary professions. Therefore, they gave us their blessing.
How is it like to work with your sister, and do the two of you differ in ideas or managerial styles?
It can be challenging to work with your siblings. I used to work with two of my sisters at Monsoon, and there were times I would receive long distance phone calls from my parents twice a day. Let me just say, blood is thick!
Our palates are different, Sophie tends to prefer dishes a bit sweeter than me.
Last year, when you encountered some staffing issues with Ba Bar's bar program, you had some other great staff from Monsoon East who volunteered to fill in. As a restaurateur, what is the most difficult part of staffing and supporting your staff, and what do you think it takes to be a good boss?
Opening restaurant is the most exciting. Yet, the worst stress you can experience. If you want to loose 10 lbs, then open a restaurant! Most opening staffs don't last more than a year due to the demanding long hours, and emotional and physical stresses. Fortunately, the Monsoon family has quite a few long term staff members who are very willing to step up and give assistance with our new establishments.
Recruiting staff is half art and half science. It is not black and white. To be a good boss is to have systems and structures in place, and better yet, to make enough money to hire both managers and assistant managers.
In managing so many restaurants, how do you divide your restaurant up between them?
I like to start my days early in the morning and tackle all the paper work. I also work on research and development of products and dishes in the morning before heading out to the restaurants.
Do you return to Vietnam often? If we were to accompany you on a trip to Vietnam, what would your itinerary look like? What would be your first stop?
Sophie goes back to Vietnam every year. I have not gone since my son was born in 2008. That said, I will go back this coming spring. Saigon is the best food city in Vietnam. All the money attracts good chefs.
Saigon is where I grew up. It is a bustling, crowded, and a great food city. Growth has transformed Saigon very rapidly. You will find awesome dim sum, Cantonese cuisine and the best Hue (central Vietnam) restaurant there, as well as a lot of other regional cuisine. As I said earlier, good chefs follow the money, much like in New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle.
I would arrive in Hanoi first to visit the old quarter and enjoy some Cha Ca Lang Van, which is a famous dish. I would stay in Hanoi for two or three days, which is perfect. Afterwards, I would fly to Da Nang to visit Hoi An. It is a romantic small town with old Chinese influenced architecture and it made Vietnamese lanterns famous. There is a beautiful restaurant located in a village along the river. You can relax in Hoi An for couple days before flying to Saigon city.
Which Monsoon and Ba Bar dishes former or present play a significant role in food memories and why?
The Grilled Monterey Squid Stuffed with Duck Meat and La Lot Beef at Monsoon definitely stand out. Sophie and I experimented with numerous versions at home before opening Monsoon. Of course, we broke the boundary by using duck instead of ground pork; and substituting flank steak for ground beef in the La Lot Beef. They are delicious dishes and still favorites today, after 13 years.
