It has always been a strategy of some groups in India to spread lie. It is called Globel's Tactis. If you are hammered with false from so many mouths, wrong things, articles, statements are taken as facts. General people and specially people covered under OBC are under the influence of these Gobels rumours.
Reservation for socially and educationally backward classes has been listed in constitution of India and was stated set the commission to decide reservation for such class. Time killing tactics kill 40 years (2 generations) and the reservation based on Mandal Commission report was implemented by V. P. Singh.
Mandal commission does not give reservation on caste. It has set criterion on Social, Educational and Economical parameters and a marking scale was prepared. Reservation can not be given by name, surname or place. The best suited criteria in Indian context is to group on the basis of caste. Hence, those castes which are under above parameters are included in OBC list.. These lists contain thousands of castes from all religions- such as Muslim, Sikh, Hindu etc. The criterion under which OBC are classified are given beside.
Two marks were allotted to each indicator, the total score adds up to 22. All these 11 indicators were applied to the people covered by the survey for a particular state. As a result of this application, all castes which had a score of 50% and more (i.e. 11 points) were listed as socially and educationally backward. The SEBC were found to be 52% in India and 27 % reservation was declared for SEBC.
There are six rules to decide creamy layer for various categories. The sons and daughter of parents who are Government servants, creamy layer is decided on the status (grade of service) and not on the salary income. Sons and daughters of direct recruit grade A or previous Class I officers are under creamy layer, all other are Non Creamy......
The creamy layer status of an individual is decided by his/ her parents income and not by his own income or the income/ status of spouse. Creamy layer status of married woman is decided on the status/ income of her parents and not on the status or income of her husband.
Cut off means eligibility marks
- OBC Cut off for admissions is not 10% below the marks of last open candidate admitted. It is 10% lower than the minimum eligibility marks of general catagory.
A bench headed by Justice R V Raveendran said that the eligibility criteria for OBC category students would not be decided on the basis of last cut-off for general category students.
"Where minimum eligibility marks in the qualifying examinations are prescribed for admission, say as 50 per cent for general category candidates, the minimum eligibility marks for OBCs should not be less than 45% (that is 50 less 10 per cent of 50).
"The minimum eligibility marks for OBCs can be fixed at any number between 45 and 50, at the discretion of the institution. Or, where the candidates are required to take an entrance examination and if the qualifying marks in the entrance examination is fixed as 40 per cent for general category candidates, the qualifying marks for OBC candidates should not be less than 36 per cent," the bench said.
A Professor from IIT Madras had approached the apex court challenging a Delhi High Court judgement which had said the cut-off marks for OBC candidates should be 10 per cent less than the minimum eligible marks for general category candidates.
The apex court, after hearing all the sides, upheld the Delhi High Court order. (source: Outlook Delhi)

Tech Downs No. 9 West Virginia 2-0
No. 18 Texas Tech downed No. 9 West Virginia Sunday 2-0 at the John Walker Soccer Complex.
Oct. 27, 2013
Box Score | Photo Gallery | Postgame Interviews and Highlights | Postgame Notes
LUBBOCK, Texas - In a rare primetime Sunday contest at the John Walker Soccer Complex, the No. 18 Red Raiders turned in a thriller as Texas Tech shutout No. 9 West Virginia 2-0 while handing the Mountaineers their first loss in conference play.
With the victory, No. 18 Texas Tech moves to 15-1-2 overall and remained unbeaten in Big 12 play at 5-0-2. It marked the Mountaineers first regular season Big 12 loss since joining the league prior to the 2012 season.
"You saw a team that is getting hungry for the postseason," Texas Tech head coach Tom Stone said. "Tonight was a big step in that direction."
With Sunday's win, which moves the Red Raiders' current unbeaten streak to 14-straight, Tech snapped West Virginia's 15-match unbeaten streak in conference play which dated back to 2011.
Sunday's win marked Texas Tech's first over a Top-10 team in program history as the Mountaineers entered Sunday's match at No. 9 in the NSCAA rankings and fresh off clinching the Big 12 regular season title Friday night. Texas Tech is also the first team to shutout West Virginia this season. With one of the top defenses in the country, the Red Raiders have now shutout 14 of their 18 opponents on the season allowing just six goals in 18 matches.
The Red Raiders now move into second place in the Big 12 standings with the season finale looming on Nov. 1 against Texas.
Texas Tech senior defender Hayley Haagsma got the Red Raiders on the board first Sunday night with a strong header that beat Mountaineer keeper Sara Keane. Haagsma's header came in the 41st minute off a corner kick by junior Jaelene Hinkle who fed Haagsma perfectly inside the penalty box with the long boot and picked up her fourth assist of the season.
Hinkle now has 13 career assists and needs just two to move into fourth all-time at Texas Tech.
The Red Raiders entered the halftime break with a 1-0 advantage while securing a streak of 18-straight shutouts in the first 45 minutes of play this season. Tech has now outscored opponents 22-0 in the first half.
Tech sophomore and leading scorer Janine Beckie then gave the Red Raiders a 2-0 advantage as she punched a shot in from the left side for her eighth goal of the season. Crabtree sent a long pass downfield which found Beckie inside the penalty box. Beckie punched the shot home to give Tech the two-goal lead less than 10 minutes into the second half.
After scoring the game-winner in Tech's 1-0 victory over Kansas Friday night, Beckie has now scored in back-to-back matches for the fifth time in her career.
Crabtree earned her fourth assist of the season on the feed tying her for the team lead.
Tech went on to hold a 6-3 advantage in shots in the second half and a 2-0 advantage on corners after West Virginia controlled much of the possession in the opening half of play. The Mountaineers held a 5-1 advantage in corners entering the halftime break and a 10-5 advantage in shots.
In front of the net, senior goalkeeper Victoria Esson picked up her third straight shutout and Big 12 leading 12th of the season. In all, she made eight saves over the weekend in facing 23 shots.
Tech opened the weekend with a 1-0 shutout of Kansas on Friday night.
Texas Tech returns to the field Nov. 1 when the Red Raiders face in-state rival Texas at the John Walker Soccer Complex. First kick is scheduled for 7 p.m.

The Illinois Fighting Illini (13-4, 2-2 Big Ten) couldn't avoid the upset effort by rival Northwestern Wildcats (8-9, 1-3 Big Ten) losing 49-43 in Evanston Sunday evening. This was their second straight loss after having a four game winning streak.
Guard Tracy Abrams scored 13 points in the effort but Rayvonte Rice was held to only eight points on the night. The Illini offense struggled mightily as it shot on 28 percent from the floor. According to Fightingillini.com, head coach John Groce had this to say about his team's offense.
"I felt like we did not make enough plays on offense. I didn't feel like we were nearly aggressive enough. I thought we were way too tentative offensively," Groce said. "We're going to have to figure that out pretty quickly. I feel like it's been that way now for a couple games."
Groce was not wrong in saying this because in their two straight Big Ten losses to Wisconsin and Northwestern they shot 31 percent and 28 percent which any team can lose if shooting like that.
Northwestern, however; struggled as well but managed to do enough to squeak out the win. Drew Crawford led the team with 13 points. Tre Demps and JerShon Cobb each had 11 points. The Wildcats only shot 37 percent from the floor, however; the timing of those scores really propelled the team to victory.
The Fighting Illini plays Purdue this Wednesday at home where they are undefeated. Coming home may be just the spark that the Illini needs to end their shooting woes.

With the first flake of winter, ski enthusiasts can not wait for the chance to hit that first slope. However even the best enthusiast can be sidelined by the limits of their schedules, and how far they can travel. For many this is even more crucial with the current job market. One of the best resources online is onthesnow.com, not only does it show lift ticket and season pass deals, it gives conditions and multiple reviews of each and every ski resort in Ohio; as well as many other states.
From Mad River Mountains female specific lessons to Boston Mills and Brandywine's Youth specific programs, it covers them all. When you click on a resort, you have the option to check out reviews, options, and even deals at the specific locations, which are updated on a weekly basis. In some of the locations they even showed two for one days for the budget minded. All in all, finding a place and a location is always worth a little research. Pay attention to the reviews and don't hesitate to make a few phone calls before deciding on your destination. In a pinch however, don't be afraid to try out a new place if you have to.
You might find your new favorite downhill, or at least a good alternative.

I beat parking tickets. You can too!
I probably shouldn't say anything, because now the SFMTA is going to be looking for me and I'm sure they have some NSA-level surveillance shit that can identify my car just from this blog. The SFMTA is very powerful. But anyway, I want to share my good fortune with you and also tell you how to beat parking tickets. Sometimes.
OK, our story begins at the Alemany Flea Market. Wife and I go there a few months ago to buy some used crap or whatever. Here's a picture of it from Google Street View in its empty state. See that red MS Paint arrow? Of course you do. That's where we parked, along that curb. Not by the fire hydrant.
OK, so look at that. Is there ANYTHING about that curb that suggests you can't park there? (BTW, there were also other cars parked there along that curb when we got there.) I mean, there's maybe a hint of some red paint that might have been there, but it's long fucking gone now. And no vertical "NO PARKING" signs or anything. So we park and go buy some stuff and come back and there's a ticket on my car and every other car parked along that curb.
So I write a protest letter and basically say "Hey, no red paint, no signs, how the fuck am I supposed to know you can't park there?" Time passes. Then earlier this week:
"We have reviewed your claim and found it to be valid. Therefore, the citation has been dismissed." BOOM.
The last one I got dismissed was I think in 2004 and it was one of those cop-handwritten tickets, not a SFMTA printed-out ticket, I think for not having my wheels curbed or some shit like that. The cop didn't write the code section on it and I pointed that out and it turns out that's a must-have for parking tickets and so that one got thrown out too.
So here's my PARKING TICKET ADVICE:
1. Protest every ticket. If you can't think of a reason, make something up. Protesting buys you at least 4-6 months while it sits on someone's desk that you don't have to pay it. That way, paying it becomes Future You's problem. Fuck Future You, that guy's a dick. Present You can take that $90 and spend it on something worthwhile.
2. Think like an asshole. Look at the ticket and think "Are there any little stupid problems that only a jerk would notice? Like did they get my license plate number wrong? Is the code section wrong? (BTW, you can get to the San Francisco Transportation Code from here. It's got all the rules for parking and the section numbers and shit.)
3. Look at the fucking signs before you park. Duh.
I should also note that I am not 100% with my protests. I was parked in SOMA at one of those "1 Hour Parking without permit" zones and I moved my car down the street after an hour but it turns out I didn't move it far enough. Anyway, still didn't have to pay until like 6 months later.
Let's be careful out there. Have a good weekend!
UPDATE/LATER ADDENDUM: OK, this is like the 4th post in a row with no comments. WTF? Did you guys all get together and decide not to comment any more? Very funny. Ha ha. We all get it.

My better half calls me the other day: "Hey, have you not been commenting on 40goingon28? What's going on?" I thought we had the kind of relationship where I could comment on a public forum and have it be public but not public to him, but OK I guess he reads your posts but not the comments, so that's good I suppose.
But here I am commenting. Just hella busy I guess? Maybe renegotiating my commenting contract with my agent? But happy to be here like a 12 Step meeting because nothing gets me riled up like parking drama! Well OK lots of things but they are all equally fun and riling. Your parking ticket advice is spot-on and should be taught in Driver Ed. Also, congrats at actually being --literally-- validated by the MTA. A dream of mine... It's disturbing to know that they've resorted to phishing, but you're here fighting the good fight. Now, can you please get them dialed into those bastards in the bike lanes? Double parkers --no matter where really just bike lanes happen to be most in my way-- deserve a special place in hell IMO...

Great article. I was searching on Google how to fight a red zone parking ticket when I stumbled across this awesome piece.the way you word everything brings life to your writings. Btw, any advice for me? I got home late and parked, not knowing my front tire was in the red..there were no cars behind me when I parked. But I don't like getting boxed in, so I parked in the very front next to a driveway. I wasn't even blocking the driveway. Now I have to pay $97 to the lovely city of los Angeles.

Thanks for the advice! Well, if you think that you did nothing wrong, and sure that you followed the rules, you really have the right to object. Just stand firm on your viewpoint and voice out your opinion and concern. That way, they would know that you are pretty much aware of the situation.

I am amazed that you are able to fight tickets like this! I was never aware of that, I thought that once you got the ticket you were required to pay it. I will bookmark this page and save it for next time!

A Gold Fetish
Fetish !!, yes it's true, People have fetishes, all kinds of them, sometimes they are really wierd. Well, I have this fetish for GOLD. Now dont get any wierd ideas. What I mean by the term fetish here is a derivative from the definition of the term gold on wikipedia. I just have a preference for investments in gold rather than the NYSE. Gold happens to be an excellent way to manage wealth. In 1999, Alan Greenspan, then Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of the United States of America, said: "Gold still represents the ultimate form of payment in the world.". Gold has a tendency to move independently of all other economic factors. I remember from a long time ago, when I wasted my money (everybody gets addicted to some form of vices I guess) on Gold, I was laughed at by all my friends who made hundreds of thousands of dollars by playing with the stock markets. Well, I felt so left out during discussions and parties as all they spoke about was day trading, fast sell, short sell, (whatever those words meant.. I still dont understand them completely) etc. Some made a hellava lot, and pulled out at just the right moment. But some of my friends were not so lucky. They lost..BAD. It's all a gamble. You win some. you loose some. But with Gold, it's different. The price of Gold has been at it's highest level in the last 16 years. And many market watchers expect the price to go higher still in 2005. As the buying power of the US dollar has diminished in the recent past, the price of Gold has risen about 35% in US dollars. I dont have any special gifts to forecats the future, But however, I believe that the price of Gold would continue to rise... at least untill the point where the dollar gives the euro a run for it's value. Paul Merriman from CBS Marketwatch says : "Gold is for speculation, for turning quick profits. It's not suitable for asset allocation. Two years of good returns in Gold funds doesn't mean any more about the near future than several extraordinarily good years of technology funds meant three years ago." Well; I disagree with the experts. (not that I know more than them). I just believe that Gold is a way safer investment that one can have. It may not sky rocket your earnings and profits. It's a slow, steady and gradual climb. HEY !! did I just say climb. True. A gradual upslide is way better than a downslide am I saying it right? And the Upside I'm always gonna have is that I have an extremely happy better half
So all said an done, The gifts I always love to receive is Gold; and with my birthday soon approaching, you could send me some Gold.
BTW : When I buy Gold, I dont mean Gold like what the americans are used to. NO WAY !!, not 14, 16 or 18 carat. I mean 24 carat !! or 22 carat at the least. (after all I have that DESI gene)

"On behalf of our entire congregation, I can't thank you enough for the GREAT show you put together for us. This was our 3rd Annual Temple Comedy Night, and it was by far the easiest planning we ever had, thanks to your efforts. The three acts you selected were all terrific - they were all funny, witty and entertaining. Overseeing this event on behalf of the synagogue for several years now has taught me that selecting the talent is the hardest part of the job - especially when the age of the audience ranges from young married couples in their mid-20's to seniors in their mid-80's. You pulled it off perfectly! We look forward to working with you again next year and in years to come."
Congregation B'Nai Tikvah
North Brunswick
"Thanks so much for a terrific show at our synagogue last weekend. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and there's already talk about planning our next show with you. There had been some skeptics who thought a comedy night wouldn't work at our temple, but your great acts won them all over. Thanks again. We'll be in touch to plan our next Sinai Free Synagogue Comedy Night."
Sinai Free Synagogue
Mt. Vernon, NY
"Thank you for the fine show you presented. We were a group ranging from 35 to almost 80 years old and the jokes were appropriate for our audience and in good taste. Audience participation was encouraged and this made the evening special. We look forward to your return for our next Temple Comedy Night!"
Temple Emunah Brotherhood
Lexington, MA
"Folks are still raving about the show. Out of the six or seven Temple Comedy Nights we have had, yours was the best!"

Politico: Republicans push for budget cuts to slow growth and raise unemployment
Oct 3rd, 2013 at 9:28 am by susie
Okay, Politico only said the first part. However it would have been useful to remind readers of the second part since some may not realize that in the current economic environment cutting the budget will hurt the economy.
In an economy that is near full employment, budget cuts can free up resources for the private sector. However in an economy that is operating at close to $1 trillion below its potential, with extraordinary low interest rates, it is implausible that cutting the budget would lead to increased investment or consumption by the private sector. Therefore the effect of the Republican proposals for cutting the budget would be slower growth and higher unemployment.
If it was being responsible, Politico would remind readers of this fact.

So for the last year I have been trying to find a lamp to hang from my trees. That is the trees I have hanging from my Imagine Dragons set. I have hung bare bulbs, bulbs wrapped in strange fabrics, bulbs with bug screen wrapped around them. But I never really liked any of them.
So I went to buy my annual Christmas tree from the city lot down the street last month. The scouts always use the same lot and are self sufficient they have a little hut with a space heater and an AC box tied right into the base of a city street lamp. But what got my attention were some home made light fixtures the scouts had set up. They were made out of assorted jelly, spaghetti and mason jars. So I figured right then that I had to have some. So down to the hardware store.
I decide I need to get the materials for a prototype. I own several jars already so I bring it with me. I pick out a sturdy ceramic Lightbulb plug. The smallest ones are 2 inches in diameter and barely fit snuggly on my big jars' lid. With this in mind I quickly have to figure out how many other holes I need to cut into this flimsy lid. 2 holes to bolt the socket to the lid. 1 hole big enough to shove the 18 gauge AC cord thru. And a few holes to attach a yet to be determined hanger.
The jars sell for 2 bucks, the socket costs 6, The male edison plugs are 3 bucks, the wire and screws are another buck. I add a jar of silicon adhesive and add it up. Each fixture can be built for under 15 bucks. But the new 100w equivalent bulbs are the tough item. They cost 6-12 bucks each. So I cheap out and for the time being I buy the last remaining 100w soft old fashioned light bulbs that Home Depot owns. 10 bucks for the last 12 on the shelf.
Trying to figure out a hanger. First thought was to utilize an actual old wire coat hanger. I did that with my prototype and it actually worked. But it looked truly ghetto. While I want them to look a little trashy, they need to hang safely from the branches of my 17' tall trees. Maybe some wire safeties will work better. I see a trip up to Heroic lighting to borrow some tools is in order.
It's minus 16 degrees here in the great white north this week. I am on vacation at home and thinking of going skiing. But it's just too doggone frigid to race down the side of a mountain. So I shall stay in my basement and knock out a dozen of these things. They shall appear in February.

-22 degrees in Minneapolis today. You moved at the right time it appears.
i am wondering if you would have made the "new lights' if you where in sunny Ca! I moved on New Years day in the Peninsula! So HAPPY NEW YEAR! I made no resolutions!
Think I need to go that route, but leave the safety cable as a safety, so I can just connect the 2 ends over a branch to hang them. Good idea, thanx
If you are not happy with the way the safety cable works out I suggest some 1/16 inch wire rope crimped together to form an endless loop. With the nicopress sleeve hidden under the lid there would only be a loop of aircraft cable visible.

text: Columbia Way — The 17th annual Sturgeon Festival brought 300 people to the Water Resources Education Center for a celebration of this prehistoric, bony fish — whose numbers in the Columbia River are in decline. Chris Wagemann and Olaf Langness, biologists from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, offered a close-up view of sturgeon anatomy by performing a fish dissection. Recycling, composting, trees, watershed health and water safety were also part of the day — with Eartha the Ecological Clown and her assistant, Vancouver Mayor Tim Leavitt. This year's Sturgeon Festival was part of STEM Fest, a three-day celebration of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Investors and Homebuyers Resources
In many cases, for a foreclosure investor, buying a property with a notice of default can prove to be a better deal than buying at auction. Properties with a notice of default are often associated with "no money down" deals, because the unique situation of the property owner creates opportunities for creative deal making.
Properties in pre foreclosure give homebuyers and investors a great chance to save or generate money in the real estate market. The owner of a property in pre foreclosure might be motivated to sell the property before it gets scheduled for a foreclosure auction. This way, if the lender agrees, the three parties can arrange a short sale. The short sale process would be mutually favorable for the parties as it requires less time and it saves the owner from a painful auction process.

Still working on the format for the next gold guide contest as well as timing. As Blizzard likes to say: Soon. My pvp video is still in the 'collect footage' stage and I've gotten a few really cool/funny shots so far including the 2450 Rated Farmer with pitchfork killing people, going 1v6 in wsg, slamming montage openner, and much more. I still haven't decided if I want to turn the video into a tutorial or just show off the skillz. Perhaps you have some suggestions or requests for the video?
Regarding Saronite Over Supply
Outdps said...
Just an FYI- saronite ore should have a hard minimum price of 12.5g a stack- anything less and you can smelt the ore and vendor it for a profit.
Regarding 3.2 Flask Prices
Andy said...
Flasks are selling a lot better on my server currently, but at market prices - not that I'm complaining as I make a nice profit. I sold 20 flasks of endless rage last night, for example.I plan on buying some hopefully cheap mats this weekend in preparation for the probable patch next week.

Titanium ore farming has been on the rise ever since epic gems were announced by blizzard in the next patch 3.2 and the fact that prospecting titanium ore will produce these gems. How many and how often is anybody's guess, but this simple announcement has created rampent stockpiling of Titanium ore by savy speculators on every server.
A side result of the Titanium farming is the mass flooding of extra saronite bars onto the auction house. Many see this as a negative: lower priced saronite bars means more blue gems being prospected and thus lower prices for gem sellers.
I see this as a great thing for crafters. If you're quick at buying out saronite bars now when they drop too low then you will allow yourself to craft blacksmithing items much cheaper than the competition.
Eternal belt buckles, saronite weapons, saronite pvp gear, etc are all going to be cheaper to make. If my manage to buy out the saronite ore as it comes in then the prices of these goods will remain the same whlie you manufacture them for even cheaper and thus make even more gold than normal. Always look into disenchanting items after creating them to see if buying saronite bars for various blacksmithing greens will be worth it to craft and disenchant.
Usually when a patch is coming players will attempt to get rid of their goods for fear that they will be made worthless after the patch arrives. If you're currently dumping flasks you're making a big mistake. For one, no new flasks have been mentioned besides flask of the north, which will only effect alchemists in the arena and not pve raiding.
Currently, guilds are trying to make last ditched efforts at algalon and various hardmodes throughout ulduar. Time is tight so maximizing performance during the raid is key and thus raid leaders are cracking down on getting players to bring flasks to the raids.
If you're an alchemist then I highly recommend looking into the flask market not only just before 3.2 but also just after it.
I recommend selling the flasks in stacks of 1-4 since raids usually don't go for more than 3-4 hours at a time. Figure out how many can sell in a single raid night and avoid selling more than that to reduce the amount of flasks that come back in the mail as well as help to drive prices down with extra supply.
How are flasks doing on your servers during raid nights currently? Notice a slight increase?
From the JMTC forums, Ceffo writes:
"Ive got over 120k now in gold but i still got that feeling its not enough. (already bought the mounts/pets/chopper etc). Yet everytime i look at the bank roll i think hmmm.. thats not much.. all my guildies think im being a smart arse.. but in all honestly it is a small amount to me imo. Anyone else have this syndrome?"
Is Ceffo right? Anyone else found that once they reach their previous goal, regardless of whether it's the gold cap or 10k, that you can't stop chasing more gold?
For me, the fun of making gold isn't making it, but coming up with new ways to make it. Hence why you get this blog with all my money making ideas, because what fun is it to just keep it to myself?
I agree that making gold can be rather addicting once you start passing your own expectations and start grasping at loftier goals. That next 1k, 10k, 200k is always right around the corner and there seems to be no end to the race of collecting gold. This is one reason why I enjoy my playstyle and how I avoid the gold collecting addiction.
For the comments, are you addicted to making gold in game? Is it a fun addiction or annoying for you?
I came up with this idea as a joke, and it is kind of funny but can you imagine how fun it would be to have a character class known as 'bank alt' with the following conditions:
It can be any race/sex and is considered a hero class with no requirements.
Bank alts require focus to use abilities, and this focus is generated 50 per hour with a cap of 100.
Bank alts are the same level as your highest level character.
Talent Points
What do you think? I tried to add a little humor to the talents here and there :)
Ask another auctioneer what they sell to make gold. Be sure to share your own tip as well, so as to make it a profitable discussion for both.
This tip sounds stupid at first, but it's surprising the kind of useful information you can get from someone else that you'll never think of on your own. Be kind and share something back.
The forums are a great place to do this anonymously.
Discover the limit to your market. To find this first you have to break that limit. Post a stack today, two tomorrow, three the next and keep posting until your items do not get purchased in full. Then scale back and you have your limit. If your goods sell prematurely then by all means post a little bit more after that. The goal of this exercise is to see how many items you can sell in one posting so go nuts :)
Once you find the limit (the point at which not all your goods sell), start scaling back until you find out just how much of your item your server is willing to buy on a given day.
For me, pygmy oil sells about 8-15 stacks of 20 per 24 hour period, so I rarely post more than that.
Another suggestion box friday, another chance for you, the lovable auction house amateur to show off your strategies and share your insight with the JMTC community. Anything goes in the comments section, so have fun!
Regarding Spring Cleaning
The Grinch said...
I really liked the video, but watching the results vid I especially liked the utility addons you're using like the mail one and the message one. What are they?Also do you know any way to get more then 25 "letters" at a time from the mail box. The time spent waiting for the mail server to respond takes a full quarter of my auctioneering time?

Regarding Apprenticeship
Darth Solo said...
They say that a good deed never goes unpunished. The apprenticeship wouldn't work for me. I've tried helping a couple of people by giving them tips on how to make money after they whispered me for some gold and then I couldn't get rid of them for months. They kept begging for freebies, dungeon runs, gear and stuff. It's just not worth the hassle.
Regarding Portals and Tips
Gibbiex said...
Same thinking for enchanting, regarding tips. My rule: If they've been spamming trade for 5 min or more, are level 80 (or high level), and i have the enchant, i'll switch over to my enchanter. I got really tired of 'can you come to org', 'what, you don't have mats', 'what you mean you expect a tip after wasting 15 min of your time?' Its not like I don't like helping people, but I have stuff i could be doing instead of dealing with idiots.
How many more weeks until the next season and patch 3.2? 4? 5? 6? My money is on 4 more weeks but we'll just have to wait and see! I hope it's not much longer or else I'm going to have to play more arenas.
20kleveling is a pretty ambitious and groundbreaking guide when you think about it: attempting to teach gamers how to play economics and how to think in order to procure large stockpiles of in game gold. I could just say go farm here or go do this, but then within a week they'd need more assistance. The success of the guide so far is tied to the fact that it leaves room for you to grow and become a better auctioneer without chaining you to too many specific strategies. The beauty of this strategy is that two guide holders on the same server can come up with completely different ways to become filthy rich without stepping on each others' auctioneering toes.
I'd like to give a heads up for gold guide holders and anyone who is considering buying it, I am currently working on the next Bonus Chapter for the guide: "Case Studies." I expect to get several of these done each week, so stay on the lookout for some nice updates to the guide which will focus on valuable items of all levels that you might not realize the value of. Each case study will include a video ranging from 2-6 minutes long as well as a conclusion paragraph in case you don't feel like listening to the videos.
I am also leveling an enh shaman who will hopefully break 4k gold on his own tomorrow (if my auctions sell). He is following the gold guide and using a banking alt on his server to help make the gold. His level? He's 38, and he's not using a single profession (he'd have more gold but be leveling much slower). I'm hoping to take what I learn from running another character using the guide to create several additional case studies.
I haven't done any serious auctioneering for a few weeks.... months? Other than the occasional 1-2k a day of course. So I decided last weekend to post one of my alt's ~600 auctions for fun and see how much gold I made. This alt is my random arbitrage alt, so the items have absolutely no rhyme or reason other than to be sold for more than I purchased them at. Many of the items involved are old world (pre BC), some BC, and a couple are WOTLK. It probably took about three periods of scanning/collecting to build this stash, but I can't give exact figures since I hadn't touched this alt in so long.
The point of me posting this video is to show that you can make THOUSANDS of gold without a single profession. Simple arbitrage is amazing and all this money was made using my 22 steps to auctioneer. If you're confused or having trouble please see that post. Here's the result from my ~600 auctions:
Anyone else sick of questing? Do you find that you just want to log on, kill some stuff (particularly players), and then log off? Well with 3.2 Blizzard is going to make leveling through bg's a legitimate method to earning experience.
I have tons of alts sitting close to the level cap and one or two I'd be willing to level from around 30 to 80. But questing has become way too boring, thus bgs are the only way I'd be willing to level these toons.
Many players level their alts with lack luster attempts at improving professions. Sure they start off strong, might even make some low level gear for themselves but eventually the speed of leveling overlaps the speed at which you can level professions. You're in and out of areas too quickly to gather adequate supplies for leveling (except first aid) and thus professions will almost always become a 'I'll do that at 80' thing.
With all these new level 80's created through bg leveling (particularly hardcore arena players who are tired of questing like myself), there will be a real demand for the choke points in various gathering professions. My favorite choke for multiple professions is Thorium ore, since BS, JC, and Eng all require this before outland. Since BS, JC, and Eng are the most popular arena professions, expect Thorium to shoot through the roof shortly after 3.2 hits.
If you need help finding a good Thorium Spot, look no further than these posts:
For tailoring you may want to stock up on runecloth and netherweave:
For the comments: Any ideas on other 'choke points' that will provide a lot of gold for the savy auctioneer who prepares now for the oncoming storm?
Gevlon came up with an interesting idea for helping out players who are struggling with the auction house: become his apprentice. I've received a few emails and even a comment on this site asking if I would do this on US servers.
I have two answers to this question, one will make you go "awwww :(" and the other will make you go "oooooo :D".
So here's answer #1: I don't have the time to take someone under my wing and truly tutor them (probably 2-4 hours of work). Every time I log onto wow I get an insane number of whispers regarding prot pvp, the gold guide, youtube videos, and this blog. I actually avoid getting on Markco unless it's essential (pvp or the occasional raid), because I do take the time to answer everyone's questions which can be quite time consuming. Whenever possible I redirect people to my forums, because many many questions have been answered there by the readers of this blog. In conclusion I just don't have the time to do what gevlon does.
Ok, I know you're all depressed so here comes answer #2: I will be running another gold guide contest! I haven't ironed out the details but I'm going to make one winner this time and allow voters to vote on ALL the entries; with one vote per person on the JMTC forums. I don't think it's going to be video format again, or even the same topic (all gold making tips), so give me some time to iron out all the gritty details.
For the comments: What kind of contest would you like to see? Another tips focused one? Perhaps something different like a wallpaper for justmytwocopper or an ingame screenshot? Be creative, all suggestions are welcome!
Portals are an interesting way to make gold in world of warcraft. Many players will pay upwards of 10 gold for a main or alt to get a hearthstone set in dalaran, just as shattrath was popular in the Burning Crusade. Being a mage has its uses, that's for sure!
My mage is one of my favorite bankers (blinking around corners and through mail boxes to the bank in org is fun!) and so I usually keep an eye out for people in need of portals between my auction house activities and quite often it's a free 5g+ to port them to dalaran.
If you have a mage and haven't started responding to "LF Port to Dalaran, tipping well," then you are missing out on free money!
For the comments, how much do you expect someone to pay for a portal to dalaran?
You can also join the discussion on the forums.
Learn about a profession you've never owned. See if it interacts with any of your current professions and start making gold modifying goods. Every profession except fishing, first aid, and cooking interacts with every other profession in some minor way at the very least. Whether it's materials for crafting a weapon or requirements for a trinket, they are all connected in some way. Learn these connections and see if there is gold to be made.
Flood your market today. Post everything you have and watch people dump their items back at you. When they get to be pretty cheap buy them out. Repost in a few days when the dust settles. When I say 'flood your market' I do not mean undercut yourself to death. Instead, place double or more than the normal amount of items you would likely post at around 120-140% price. Supply and Demand is a mysterious but often predictive mechanism of free markets: Post double your normal amount, watch your prices get cut in half.
When the dust settles start buying up the competition. Remember that all those items you posted are not likely to sell so be ready to accept that deposit cost (if any).

I really enjoyed doing an interview with howiwow.org, so I started browsing around for more world of warcraft podcasts (quasi radio shows) and I found WCRadio.com. Pretty cool stuff all around, although there isn't the focus on gold gathering, it does have a large following and enjoyable content. You can head over to their site and find hours upon hours of recorded shows (one of my favorite parts about podcasts is the archives they create). Go give them a try and be sure to contact them and let them know what you think.
Do you think that the 21 Tips in 21 Days has been a success so far? Are there any tips you disagreed with or felt were spot on? Any of them actually help you out?

I'm sure this goes without saying, but people also need to keep in mind that things vary from server to server.For instance, the list has Shaman's "Glyph of Astral Recall" marked as a rather unpopular choice (two stars), but I find they sell very well on my server.So this is definitely a great starting point (especially since, I would imagine, the most popular glyphs involve min/maxing and thus are most desirable), but I would encourage new scribes to keep track of what glyphs they've sold themselves, as no one can tell you what sells best on your server aside from those with experience.

Regarding Tip #14
Anonymous said...
The best play I have is typically on market monopolizers. They've bought out the whole market hoping to double the sale price and I slowly post one or two at slightly above reasonable prices which they then buy in an attempt to continue to control the supply. I keep unloading my inventory slowly at very favorable prices until they break.
Hey Marko!
I have now re rolled horde, and as such became interested in the new items available to the horde, including the new raptor mount. I came across a comment on wowhead sayong how to get the mount, which included giving the npc 20 runecloth and 20 Rugged leather. I just wanted to ask your opinion if it is worth buying these out now and hope for an increase in price, or to save my (at the moment low amount of) gold?
From Necrolia of Draenor EU
Hey there Necrolia, here's my answer: Look at the auction house currently, how much Rugged Leather and Runecloth is there? The less there are the more potential for profit. What I would do is set a price that you are willing to buy out all runecloth and rugged leather in preparation for this quest. If you're low on cash it's quite easy to just go farm stratholme or various other places for the cloth. The leather can also be farmed but is a little more time consuming (I'd rather just buy it).
Sorry allies but sadly rugged leather and rune cloth are too numerous for horde to want to travel to the neutral auction house so allies won't be able to make any gold off the new raptor mounts. It's a shame because I think this quest alone is going to make tons of gold for clever horde auctioneers when this goes live.
Thanks Sean and Patrick for having me on their podcast and to introducing me to the podcasting world... of warcraft.

Funny side note but I will be going to blizzcon which is hillarious because a month ago when this was taped I was totally against it.
Here's a nice tip for those of you that do the Hodir dailies. My only additional thought I had regarding this method is that it would be unwise to just grab the ore as soon as a mob dies. Be sure to wait and make sure that the person who killed the mob is not also a miner.
Hello this is Lògosh of Mug' thol again I found a wonderful spot to make gold Frostfield Lake yes this sounds odd but this is mostly for miners.
You must farm brittle revenants. Not in the normal way but mining there corpses for the Geodesic Fragments and ultimately Crystallized earth Notice all the people killing the brittle revenants for there dailies most just leaving the corpse behind to be mined so miners can keep mining them for crystallized earth and Geodesic Fragments
Geodesic Fragments sell 4g 50s per stack and eternal earth prices varies server to server but this is so easy corpses everywhere and no miner usually bothers mining the Brittle Revenants. Thanks to Metamaster for this original Idea.
You could kill them too they do drop Relics of Ulduar aswell.
This is a better spot than those Zuldrak sentinels when you do not have Wintergrasp for killing as I got crystallized earth a lot faster.
I've had numerous people ask me what the best glyphs, gems, etc are for selling on the auction house. Finally I came across a helpful site that literally tells you the most popular items in the game. I highly recommend this site for anyone who is struggling with deciding what items to craft and sell on the ah.
Here's a link to WowPopular with glyphs selected.
Thanks to ZalyksVidz for this video regarding a farming post on JMTC. It was a while back but it had to do with farming essences of undeath, mojo's, and tons of runecloth. I never made a video regarding these mobs so thanks again for your efforts!
Undercut someone by 1 gold, 15 silver, and 39 copper with one item. When the item is purchased repost two at the same price. Keep doing this until you get undercut.
Do you have to use 1 gold, 15 silver, 39 copper? No, but the purpose of this experiment is to show you that a random undercut (by random I mean it looks like a robot decided the number), does not come across as an aggressive takeover or undercutting war. The seller above you will either buy you out or just wait until your item has been sold. I'd say undercut by 5% with some random silver and copper ammounts mixed in.
Try to do this at a time when you can check the auction house about every hour for about three hours. Each time you check simply increase the number of reposts by one if any of your items have sold.
Ever play poker? Well then, it's time to start reading auctioneers.
Ask yourself, why is this person posting these items, what benefit is there to this crazy undercut? Does this person just want fast gold and therefore I can flip the item? Is this person emptying their guild bank?
Why, what, when, where, etc. Don't just bid/buy/post blindly before you understand why your opponenets are doing what they're doing. Get into their heads and you'll be surprised at the kind of mind games you can play with people.
For the comments, does anyone have an example of when they 'played' a fellow auctioneer?
Suggestion Box Friday is when I, the gold making master, abandom my instruments of communication and allow for you, the lovable amateur, to share your opinions in place of my own. In other words, I basically take a day off.
Regarding Using My Power for Profit
Kring said...
Only people who inherit power use it for evil. People who worked for their power know how to use it. :-) Just an update. A few month ago I asked if I should buy azure dragon pet on the AH for 500g (which were obviously sold by a bot, because all had the same seller).I finally sold the first two last week for 1300g each (I didn't try sooner because I don't need the gold and I wanted the demand to grow). You were right, thanks. :-)

Dalaran server - complete dump in prices over the weekend. picked up a 20-stack of void crystals for 70g (typically 230g on my server). Shards dropped dramatically as well. I can't give meat away right now. I will no longer buy this product (ie. chilled meat, fish, etc.). I plan on continuing to buy up shards for enchanting at these low prices. I've never seen such a flood of enchanting mats on the market.
Share your thoughts on the upcoming patch and the economic changes involved.
I had a very interesting message from Sparks over on the JMTC forums regarding using my "Power" for evil and profits. Sparks wanted to know if I would ever say something on the blog, forums, or gold guide just to make myself a profit. When I first read this I started laughing so hard at how evil that would be.
Picture this, I have a huge stockpile of long elegant feathers and can't sell them no matter what I do. After a few weeks of fruitless attempts at rock bottom prices I decide to write a post about how these feathers are oh-so-important for a particular hat's recipe. Within a few hours all my feathers sell and I happily bank two hundred gold from ten gold's worth of feathers.
No, I didn't actually do this, but what if I did? Obviously I wouldn't throw away all the work I've done in creating this blog for a few hundred gold, but would you? What if it was ten thousand gold? Twenty? At what point would you go over the edge and use your "powers" for evil?
Thanks for the message Sparks, I had a blast coming up with imaginary ways to con my own readers.
The addon Routes is a great way to create your own map for flying around like mad and collecting some ores. The best part is that you can import the entire wowhead database to assist in your mining/herbing/clouding/fishing/etc needs. Here's an excellent write up of how to use routes by Sekirei.
Hellos. For those who are wondering what Routes and Gathermate are or how to set them up here is a short guide.
1. Download and install the two addons(duh) and make sure to get the gathermate_data file as well.
2. In game do /gathermate and use the import database option choosing the type of resource you'd like to import: Herbs, Clouds, Mining nodes, Fishing pools etc.
3. After import is done and you can see a shitload of dots on the map do /routes.
4. Chose the option "Add", select the zone you'd like to create a route for, put a name there and hit OK.
5. Chose the type of resource you want to make the route for and hit Create route.
6. Your map should be full of crazy lines at this moment. Select the zone you created the route for and then select the actual route. Go to optimize and hit cluster and then Foreground.
7. If you did this right a nice continuous line should appear on the map.
All thats left to do now is mount up and go gather and laugh in the face of the other lesser farmers >:).
I know this is a big wall of text and I thank you for reading and hope this will help your gathering future :).
I didn't get onto wow once this past 4th of July weekend, however, I bet that I can tell you exactly what the market looked like.
Perhaps a picture will be more powerful than my own words:
Weekends are normally violent in terms of price fluctuations, but JULY 4TH is possibly the most violent in terms of how low the prices can get. This weekend was probably your best buying oppurtunity for the upcoming patch. If you saw titanium ore at crazy low prices I hope that you bought them out if nothing more than to resell them in the upcoming weeks.
I want to apologize for sharing this information *cough* a little late *cough* but I had no internet access the whole weekend and thus no way to get the word out. I'm sure that the few of you that did take advantage of the prices this weekend are somewhat greatful that I didn't get the word out.
On the plus side for some servers there may still be great prices to be had. Remember that prices will eventually climb back to pre-4th of July numbers so be on the look out for uninformed auctioneers continuing to sell their goods based on this weekend's numbers.
Expect prices to be near normal by next wednessday.
I was perusing the JMTC forums and came across an interesting post about selling admiral's hats. The recipe is sold by cowardly crosby on the beaches of STV, with a very slow restock timer.
I'd been selling the recipe itself for a very long time but never even thought to craft the hats themselves. /Bonk !
Apparently they sell amazingly well (as much as 50 gold) but there is a catch. The item icon doesn't even look like a hat so you are better off selling in trade or by standing in sight of other players and waiting for them to whisper you "hey where did you get that hat."
The hardest component to find are long elegant feathers, but thankfully there was a gold guide contest entry not too long ago that explained a great way to find them. Of course if you don't have the time to go farm these feathers then you will want to just snatch them off the auction house whenever they are cheap (and that's pretty frequently the case).
[RED ROUTE]- Not my favorite but it still works. Dosent put out as much saronite for me but if my Black route is occupied by other farmers this is where i go. I pay special attention to all the nooks and crannies of the lakes. Around 3/4 stack of ore per round. I have only solidly farmed this for an hour once and i got 8 stacks of ore and 7 titanium ore. not bad for an alternate route but if your looking for hardcore farming go for the black route
[BLUE CIRCLED]- HOTSPOTS! If you can check around the base of these because usually they hold between 1-2 nodes PER pillar.
I use this method of Farming along with JC and i make tons of gold off cut/uncut gems!
Between posting your auctions and picking up successful sales, try running someone through an instance and have them loot then mail you all the items they find. See how much money you make from disenchanting/looting everything.
My favorites are:
ZF (mainly for the cloth), Scarlet Monastery Cathedral, and RFC.
Disenchant everything and be sure to sell the loads of cloth you get on the auction house. A single run through RFC can net you fifty strange dust which can sell on my server for 25-30 gold. The linen isn't particularly valuable but you can craft it and disenchant to get even more strange dust. The greater magic essences are nothing to sneeze at either.
Having a Tundra Mammoth to get rid of items (or an engineer's mail box) is a huge bonus in ZF.

Keganscoin is a relatively new blog that I'd like to give a shout out to. I love these 'journal sytle' blogs similiar to what scrooge had going until he mysteriously stopped blogging. Keep the updates coming Kegan!Discussion
Twinking changes are getting very interesting: the ability to turn off xp, the need for lower level enchants due to higher ones being disabled on lower level characters, and BOA gear being BIS for several item slots. How will this effect the economy?
Great news everyone, I was invited to Blizzcon! My 2's partner (thunderion) and I will be going to our first Blizzcon and I honestly can't wait. It's disneyworld for nerds lol.
We're trying to work out getting T-Shirts or something made and some other fun stuff. What questions do you have that you would like us to ask the developers at blizzcon? Maybe I could compile the questions and bring them with me.

As pointed out on the JMTC forums:
China is apparently banning the sale of virtual goods within their county (both imports and exports) as of June 29th, 2009. Here's a link to the article from Information Week:
EDIT: Check this article as well - http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/reports-of-chinas-gold-farming-ban-misinterpreted - who do you think is right?
Very interesting stuff. So how will this affect the world of warcraft economy? The way gold farmers make their gold is by farming massive amounts of goods (usually materials for enchants or crafting) and then selling as much as possible for ridiculously low prices (as compared to market norm). The end result from removing the 80-85% of gold farmers of the world who live in china will be rising prices across the board in world of warcraft, particularly in the area of material goods.
If you're thinking to yourself "self, there are no farmers on my server," well then think again. Farming and account leveling groups usually operate together. When you see someone spamming in trade chat about a new powerleveling service you can bet money that there are also high level farmers on that server who will double as account power levelers. They are hard to find on the auction house by name because they try to meet quotas at the end of their shifts; They'll dump everything for super low prices at once, get bought out, and then dissapear until the end of their next shift.
Will this kill gold farmers? Absolutely not. They will adapt and get back into business as usual eventually, but hopefully many of the smaller operations will be shut down. The problem with gold farming is that there are gold buyers, so as long as there is a market then the former will sell to the latter.
I'm going to be watching the prices of easily farmed goods (herbs, ores, skins, etc) closely to see if they slowly increase over the course of the next month or so.
On a side note, the sale of pre-paid game cards are also banned.
Bid on items Tuesday morning before a hard reset (don't do this on a 15 minute server restart). The reason for doing this is that auctions continue to 'roll' regardless of server inactivity. So if you have an auction with 4 hours left at the time that servers go into an 8 hour restart then your auction will have expired by the time the servers come back up.
Here's a post when the blog was first starting out that makes bidding fast and efficient.

BRYAN, Texas - The second-ranked Alabama men's golf team will play in the 2013 Aggie Invitational this weekend at The Traditions Club, a par-72, 7,146-yard layout that is home to the Texas A&M Aggies.
It marks the first time the Crimson Tide has participated in the event and the final regular-season tournament for Alabama before postseason play. The SEC Men's Golf Championship is slated for April 19-21 in St. Simon Island, Ga.
Alabama will to play with host Texas A&M and No. 5 UCLA on Saturday and is scheduled to tee off the first hole at 7:30 a.m. The 54-hole tournament will consist of 36 holes (two rounds) on Saturday and a final-18 holes on Sunday.
Alabama head coach Jay Seawell will start the same five-man lineup - Justin Thomas, Cory Whitsett, Bobby Wyatt, Trey Mullinax and Scott Strohmeyer - that won the Linger Longer Invitational last month at this weekend's Aggie Invitational.
The entire 12-team Aggie Invitational field is receiving votes in the most recent Golf World/Nike Coaches' Poll. There are 10 teams ranked inside the top 30, including the second-ranked Crimson Tide, No. 4 Washington, No. 5 UCLA, No. 12 Duke, No. 14 Oklahoma State, No. 15 LSU, No. 19 Arkansas, No. 21 Kent State, No. 27 Texas A&M and No. 28 Texas Tech along with No. 32 Oklahoma and No. 36 North Texas.
The Crimson Tide's starting lineup boasts four players inside the top 16 in this week's Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index, including Thomas at No. 7, Whitsett at No. 8, Wyatt at No. 12 and Mullinax at No. 16. Both Thomas and Whisett are averaging below par for the season.
Live stats are available at www.golfstat.com and you can follow breaking news on the Crimson Tide on Facebook at AlabamaMGolf and on Twitter at @AlabamaMGolf.
