Most of the times people earn money by trading items of the latest expansion. Right now, the latest expansion is cataclysm, and people are making and selling level 85 goods. They have a stable and big market. It's a safe way to earn a considerable amount of money. What most people don't realise is that items of past expansion did not disappear, or lose all their value. Trading with these items is a bit more risky business, but they can also mean great profit. Let's see how it works.
Dead business. Or not?
The demand for old items is much less then current ones, but so is the supply. People need almost no gear and other products from old expansions, but no one is supplying them either. Materials have all but vanished from the AH. Most people view it as a bad thing, but actually this makes it a tremendous opportunity to trade with these items. That is because there is a universal law of economics, valid in real life, WoW and pretty much everywhere. Bigger markets are more stable. Which means that smaller markets are more unstable, and unstable markets offer riskier but potentially more profitable deals. Why is that? In bigger markets, traders have to compete with more traders, which means that they can't maneuver with the prices of their merchandise as freely as they could, because they can expect a quicker and presumably more professional response from other traders as well as buyers. Let's say I'm selling product X, and there is only one other person selling it. If I want to raise it's market price, I will raise my price, and hope for the best. Most likely either the other trader will see it before anyone buys his item, and he will raise his price too, to match or undercut mine in order to earn more money, or someone will buy it before he can do so, which means that the lowest buyout price as well as the market price has just been raised to my price. If there were a million other people selling that item, then if I were to raise my price, then pretty much nothing would happen. Others couldn't raise their price because they would still have a lot to compete against, and people won't buy out a million trader's stock.
So in smaller markets one can more easily influence the price of items, which means more profitability, but the fact that others can do too means more risk.
The demand for old items is a bit different then we are used too. For gear and other items crafted by a professions there is almost no demand, because who would need a level 79 helmet, if they can get one with ten times the stats just one level later? The only real demand in this area is for twink items. On the other hand there is still a considerable demand for materials, because people need it for leveling professions. So if I can't make profits by crafting items and selling with a markup, I can still resell the materials. For reasons explained before, the prices of these materials fluctuate more intensely, and I can even influence it easier. To serve with an example, let's say there are only 5 primal shadows on the AH for 5 gold per piece, and another 5 for 10 gold per piece. What I can do is I can buy them all, and repost them at 50 gold per piece. People who level their profession will buy it either way because they need it, and as long as I post them at a price that is easily affordable by them, they will pay for it. Of course they won't buy it if I list it at ten thousand gold each, but as long as I set my price for an amount that is realistic for a material people will buy it. One can make far more profitable deals then with cataclysm items. If I remember correctly my biggest profit (in percentage) was with primal earth. I found 3 at 2,5 gold each, and resold them for 200 gold each. +7900% on investment, that is a great markup, one I doubt I could have achieved with any cataclysm material or product.
Exploring the old content
Knowing past levels' zones, quests and vendors can be very profitable too. Reselling items acquired from a vendor or a quest is often practiced, but in most cases people only go as far as walking through the capital cities looking for items. There are also items in other zones. For example, if one would only go outside stormwind (yes, I'm alliance, hang me), and look for the cat vendor in Elwynn Forest, he could buy 4 kinds of cats for 40 silver each, which can be reselled for hundreds of golds. That is a somewhat well-known opportunity, but to mention another one, rarely known, there is an enchanting formula, in Old Hillsbrad Foothills. That is one even I didn't know about until recently when we got a tip from one of our readers in e-mail (which we thank you for, Noobhunterx). In the part of the instance when you are following Thrall, there is an NPC called Aged Dalaran Wizard. He sells Formula: Enchant Shield - Intellect, which cannot be acquired in any other way in the game. There is very little competition in selling this item, for example on my realm, right now there is none. It is a great opportunity.

Very good topic! I found this as a good tip. Today when i was going to level alchemy I was buying all mats from AH, but there weren't a single Goldthorn up.. Ending up paying a herber 800g to farm 2 stacks.. So yes, old items are often more profitable, but may not sell as fast!

On Tuesday afternoon with the submission in New York City of a crucial ratification by Costa Rica, the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) will soon be able to hear cases petitioned directly by children or the representatives of children on child human rights issues dealing with child prostitution, child pornography and the sale of children as well as on the rights of children in areas of armed conflict.
In order for children or representative to submit a petition, the child must be from a country which has ratified the treaty and the party must also have exhausted all legal channels within the country. The Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on a Communications Procedure takes effect in April 2014.
Chairperson of the CRC Kirsten Sandberg stated in the press announcement on the enactment of the document, "The Optional Protocol gives children who have exhausted all legal avenues in their own countries the possibility of applying to the Committee.
"It means children are able to fully exercise their rights and are empowered to have access to international human rights bodies in the same way adults are under several other human rights treaties," Sandberg continued. "It is a major step forward in the implementation of children's rights, but at the same time we urge States to develop their own systems to ensure that children's rights are respected and protected and that their voices can be heard."
Costa Rica's ratification of the Optional Protocol was the 10th ratification which was the number required for the protocol to take effect.
As of Tuesday, 45 countries have signed the treaty. The countries which have thus far ratified it are: Albania, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Gabon, Germany, Montenegro, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain and Thailand.
The United States has neither signed nor ratified this treaty.

For mature and prematurely-aging skin.
Are you looking for a year round lip treatment that will leave your lips soft and supple? The Dermalogica Age Smart Renewal Lip Complex minimizes contour lines and smoothen rough, uneven and delicate tissues around the lips. This daily lip treatment with a patented polypeptide helps prevent the signs of aging caused by Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs a damaging byproduct of sugar/protein reactions in the skin). The Vitamin E help fight damaging free radicals (Reactive Oxygen Species) while a blend of Avocado Oil, combined with Shea and Cocoa Seed butters, will quickly smooth rough, uneven lips. This formula contains no artificial fragrance or color. The Arginine/Lysine Polypeptide is a peptide that acts as a sugar trap, binding sugar in the body to help prevent the formation of AGEs: a sugar-protein complex that leads to stiff, cross-linked collagen. The Palmitoyl Oligopeptide is a peptide molecule that conditions skin and stimulates collagen formation to minimize fine lines. The Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil and Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) are emollient and vitamin-rich plant lipids that smooth and condition lip tissue while helping to prevent dehydration. The Hyaluronic Acid, which holds over a thousand times its weight in water, provides maximum skin hydration for delicate lip tissue.
Directions: Apply to lips at least 2 times a day or more frequently in periods of dryness or environmental exposure.
Net Weight: 0.06 oz.

6 June 1935 - 28 November 2011
Mittagong 1953
The following is an abbreviated version of the Eulogy given by Br Julian Casey, Provincial of Melbourne 2011
BR BRIAN McGRATH (Joachim)
Drusilla 48{posted September 2011}
Brother Brian McGrath (Joachim)
Born: 8 March 1933
Died: 31 August 2011
Aged 78 years.
Son of John and Mary McGrath (both deceased) and brother of Catherine, Mary (deceased) and Philomena (deceased). Served as a Marist Brother for 61 years, 41 years of which he spent in the community at Forbes in the company of his life long friend and colleague Br Kenneth Preston.
Brian was amongst the first intake of Juniors at "Drusilla" in 1948. Then in 1951, he was one of the first group of Juniors from there to proceed to the Novitiate at Mittagong in NSW. Brian was a man of many talents especially noted and remembered for his ability to transform spaces (especially chapels even in his Juniorate years at Macedon) into welcoming, beautiful, and prayerful ones. He valued his Marist heritage and was truly a faithful and exemplary follower of St Marcellin Champagnat.
He passed away peacefully in the Orange Hospital, NSW on the morning of 31 August 2011 in the presence of the Brothers and friends from his community at Forbes.
On Monday 5 September, there was a special farewell of over a thousand at Red Bend College from his Marist community, the students and teachers, and many of his friends and associates. The students formed a guard of honour to the front gate of the College for the hearse which was followed by the Marist Brothers in procession. He will be sadly missed by that community in Forbes.
On Wednesday 7 September a Memorial Mass was celebrated at the Sacred Heart College chapel Somerton Park SA (where he had been sacristan for 8 years from 1963 - 1970). He was farewelled by his fellow Marists, family members, a representative group from Forbes, and friends. The internment took place at Centennial Park Cemetery afterwards.
Vale Br Brian (Joachim) and thank you from all your "Drusilla" colleagues.
Brother Columbanus Pratt[posted Feb 2011]
Brian Philp - Drusilla 51
At Brian's funeral and requiem, his Drusilla colleagues were represented by: Mike Doherty (and Pat), Brian Greaves (and Jan), Frank Green, Barry Hansen (and Marj), Br Noel Hickey, Les Jones (and Bev), Ken Keating (and Maureen), John Kelly (and Meg), Br Brian McCrystal, Terry O'Brien (and Jenny), Br Terry Orrell, Greg Parnham, Ken Rolls (and Christine). Also present were Br Bill Dillon and Br Brendan Feehan.
Brian did Juniorate training at Macedon from 1951 till 1953, then Novitiate at Mittagong 1954 - 1955. He taught in a number of Marist schools until December 1963. Quote from Brian's profile reads: " I stepped into Lisson Grove, Hawthorn, with a suitcase of clothes, a cheque for 100 pounds and a 20 pound note - no farewells, thank yous or goodbyes, and with no training, no qualifications, no worthwhile skills or identification. I didn't want to go but knew I could not stay. The feeling of emptiness was indescribable. Trying to bank the cheque was an exercise in itself."
Brian was involved with football umpiring in Victoria as an umpire and adviser for over thirty years. He worked in various positions as a clerk, technician, personnel officer and driver, including the chauffeur for the Vice Chancellor of Latrobe University for 11 years.
He met Maureen Mary Murphy at an Catholic 20's Club. They were married in January 1967 and have lived at Watsonia ever since. They have five children (two boys and three daughters), and ten grandchildren.
Many of us have walked part of Brian's life journey over almost sixty years from the time he first came to Macedon from Wonthaggi in Victoria in 1951. He was always a sincere and faithful friend, a great mate and marvellous company to many of us. It has been a privilege and a blessing to have known Brian and his family.
Brian, John Kelly and Br Dougie Walsh were the chief instigators of the first Macedon Reunion. This first one was held at our alma mater "Drusilla" in 1980, and there have been 11 others since that one. Brian and John Kelly have been involved in the planning of all of these. These reunions are great opportunities to keep alive our Marist roots, to renew our friendships, and to foster a family relationship which includes our spouses and children. Br Doug summed this up beautifully recently in an article which appeared in the Marist Newsletter and in our Drusilla blog entitled:
A Reflection on Marist Life
"These were guys who had caught the Marist spirit through their days at Macedon, had passed it onto their wives and children to such an extent that every eighteen months or so the group comes together for a three day live in to share Eucharist and to reflect with their mates who are still Brothers about our shared Marist Life. These gatherings would not be as enriching without the wives and partners of these guys, who as teenagers embraced the Marist Brothers charisma, shared it with their families and now wives and partners are as much a part of the Marist family as they are."
"These were guys who had caught the Marist spirit through their days at Macedon, had passed it onto their wives and children to such an extent that every eighteen months or so the group comes together for a three day live in to share Eucharist and to reflect with their mates who are still Brothers about our shared Marist Life. These gatherings would not be as enriching without the wives and partners of these guys, who as teenagers embraced the Marist Brothers charisma, shared it with their families and now wives and partners are as much a part of the Marist family as they are."
We are all very grateful to Brian for the role he played in keeping this Marist flame alive. Brian was very generous with his time and energies dedicated to this cause. He will be sadly missed by all of us. Our thoughts and prayers are with Maureen and her family.
Farewell Brian - and thank you sincerely.
Rest in the peace and comfort of your Lord - be still, my soul.

Kevin Irvin - Drusilla 51
Kevin's Requiem was celebrated at St Columba's Church in Ballarat on 1st June 2010. The church was packed to overflowing with family, friends, colleagues, and representatives of the many organisations in which Kevin was involved at Ballarat.
Beloved husband of Margaret; father of Bernadette, Gerard, Stephen, John, Catherine and Matthew; father-in-law of Bernadette, Nicole, Linda, Aaron and Wendy; grandfather of Jenna, Zac, Louisa, Thomas, Jack, Hayden, Alfred, Ruby, Charlie, Isabella and Harry.
Kevin came to Macedon from Marist Brothers' School at Bendigo in 1951. He did his Novitate at Mittagong 1954 - 1955, then Scholaticate at Drummoyne. He taught at Brunswick, Warragul and Griffith before deciding that religious life was not for him.
Kevin married Margaret in 1960, and they have six children and currently eleven grandchildren. They celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary on 30th April just one month before Kevin Died.
He did an Accountancy course which served him well for his future career paths including store manager at Myer Ballarat, and Motel owner. He was involved in many service clubs and organisations in Ballarat over nearly forty years until he retired in 1999.
Kevin and Margaret were great supporters of our Macedon reunions, and only missed one of the twelve we have had to date. Although suffering from a serious health problem this year, he and Margaret attended the Mittagong reunion in April 2010 just over a month before he died.
At his funeral his Macedon colleagues were represented by Ken Keating (and Maureen); Brian Greaves (and Jan); Ken Rolls (and Christine); Barrry Hansen (and Marj); John Kelly (and Meg); Brother Gerry Rush; and Terry O'Brien.
Vale Kevin
you will be sadly missed, and thank you for your friendship and support.
Our sincere condolences to Margaret and her family.
This reflection was on the back of the Mass booklet for Kevin's Requiem.
The Road Home
When I come to the end of the road
and the sun has set for me,
I want no nights in gloom filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free!
Miss me a little - but not too long!

Took a Street and Vehicle Tactics class. We did some scenario training with air soft guns. Here were a few different scenarios:
1. Silent robbery.
Nobody knew it happened until it was over. No one got hurt. Boooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring
2. Robber came in and shouted "this is a robbery".
I was a clerk and was not the one getting the money out of the register. I saw two other people with guns drawn. Turns out one of them was an accomplish who was supposed to watch to see if anyone else draws. If so, he was to shoot them. Hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys in head gear.
3. Robber came in and told everyone to get on the floor.
I tried to leave out back but was thwarted. Someone else shot the robber. I was unarmed.
4. Robber came in and started forcing everyone into the back room.
I was the robber. Some mall ninja started shooting me. He came at me like a banshee. I returned fire. I fled.
5. Domestic violence scenario.
Man starts beating on wife. (Turns out she was the instructor's wife and, well, uh, er, I think he went easy on her, just in case.) He drew a HUGE knife and several people shot him.
All in all, a lot of fun. You learn that stuff happens fast and you make a lot of tactical errors because practicing the scenario once or twice does not necessarily mean you will perform perfectly in real life.

Most Embarrassing Moment
By dcb on Jan 14, 2005
Yesterday I spent 17 hours on-the-job... A 4am alarm to catch a 6am flight out of Orlando to \*Virginia\* for a customer meeting. I pull back into the driveway just before 9pm. Whew. I'm in the bathroom getting cleaned up, the kids are asking questions (eg: "did you get me anything?", "was it snowing?"). The \*dog\* is jumping. And my cell phone rings.
My cell reception isn't the best from home. Some guy is asking me questions about \*Oracle\* performance characteristics across our various \*server\* offerings w.r.t. competitive systems. Given the cell quality and the context in which I took the call, I didn't catch his name. But these are technical questions with possibly sensitive details, so I challenge the guy: "Who do you work for?". It was a 510 area code and he said Sun Microsystems, so we continue the conversation. A few minutes later the conversations gets a little more into the details, so I challenge him again: "What did you say your name is?".
It's Andy Bechtolsheim! http://www.sun.com/aboutsun/media/bios/bios_bechtolsheim.html
Just Employee #1 and Founder of Sun Microsystems. He probably made the "hiring" decision to bring Scott McNealy on board (employee #3).
Sun Microsystems was founded in 1982 by Andreas Bechtolsheim, an electrical engineering PhD student in the Computer Systems Laboratory (CSL), Scott McNealy and Vinod Khosla, roommates at Stanford's Graduate School of Business, and Bill Joy, a PhD student in computer science at the University of California, Berkeley.
And I'm asking him who he works for! I wouldn't have blamed him if he then asked me who I \*used\* to work for :-) Anyway, he's a great guy to have fighting on our side. The systems and designs and ideas he brought back to Sun with him are going to shake up the industry.

Anne R. Kenney, Cornell University's Carl A. Kroch University Librarian, won the American Library Association's Hugh C. Atkinson Memorial Award, the Association of College & Research Libraries (A.C.R.L.), a division of the ALA, announced on February 11, 2014. Ms. Kenney will receive a cash award and citation during the 2014 ALA Annual Conference & Exhibition in Las Vegas.
The Atkinson Award recognizes the accomplishments of an academic librarian who has worked in the areas of library automation or library management and has made contributions to improve library services or to library development or research. Frst presented in 1988, the award is sponsored by the ACRL, the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (A.L.C.T.S.), the Library Leadership and Management Association (L.L.A.M.A.), and the Library and Information Technology Association (L.I.T.A.).
"Anne has made significant contributions to Cornell University Library since she arrived nearly 30 years ago," said Cornell Provost Kent Fuchs told Gwen Glazer in a Cornell announcement. "She has led during a period of change and growth that has made Cornell a pioneer in digitization, access, preservation and deep institutional collaboration. We're fortunate to have her clear vision and strong leadership at the library during this transformative time."
"Anne's peers describe her as a 'fearless visionary,' 'a thoughtful, intellectual leader' and a 'digital library pioneer,' noting that 'Hugh Atkinson himself would be proud' to call her a colleague," said Lisa Carlucci Thomas, Atkinson Memorial Award Committee Chair. "Several colleagues who knew Hugh Atkinson shared examples of how 'Anne Kenney brings Hugh's spirit of technology-harnessing, tradition-busting leadership – with an additional dash of adventure as well.'"
Ms. Kenney's areas of research and expertise include digital imaging, digital preservation, public services, users' information-seeking behavior, and collaborative models. Active in the archival and preservation communities, Ms. Kenney is a fellow and past president of the Society of American Archivists (S.A.A.).
She also works with the Association of Research Libraries, currently as a member of its membership committee and previously as a member of its board of directors 2010-13. She was chair of the National Historical Publications and Records Commission Executive Committee and a member of the National Science Foundation's Working Group on Digital Preservation.
Ms. Kenney is known internationally for her pioneering work in developing standards for digitizing library materials that have been adopted by organizations around the world, including JSTOR, the Scholarly Journal Archive. The co-author of three award-winning monographs and more than fifty articles and reports, she has received numerous awards, led continuing education programs in digital imaging and digital preservation that attracted participants from around the globe, and has given invited talks on every continent except Antarctica.
In 1987, she came to Cornell University Library. Until 2001, she served as Associate Director for the Department of Preservation & Conservation.
From 2002 to 2006, she was Associate University Librarian for Instruction, Research and Information Services. In April of 2008, she was appointed Carl A. Kroch University Librarian.
Ms. Kenney received her bachelor's degree from Duke University in 1972, a master's degree in history from the University of Missouri, St. Louis, in 1975, and a master's degree in library science from the University of Missouri, Columbia in 1979.
Hugh Craig Atkinson (1933-1986) was an important figure in the field of library automation. He served as Director of Libraries at The Ohio State University from 1971 to 1976 and at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign from 1976 to 1986.
In 1999, he appeared on the American Libraries list of the 100 most important 20th Century librarians. Atkinson was born in Chicago and earned degrees in accounting at St. Benedict's College (now Benedictine University) and library science at The University of Chicago. Over the course of his career, he worked at libraries of The University of Chicago, the Pennsylvania Military College, the State University of New York at Buffalo, The Ohio State University, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

You may not agree at first, but I think Thanksgiving is the perfect time to come to terms with the fact that life is just not fair.
Someone gets the last of the Lucky Charms... or has to go to bed earlier than their sister... or gets wrongly accused... and the first thing you hear is, "That's not fair."
And what about when the woman behind you in line cuts to the register beside you when it opens even though you were there before she was? Now that is seriously not fair.
There was a time I didn't allow those words in my house and I refused to let my kids say them. But, then I realized we were all missing out on an important lesson. The truth is that life really isn't "fair".
It's the fact that we have more blessings than could ever really be counted on our blessings board...
And that we've never had to wonder if we'll have food to eat at our next meal or if we'll be able to pay the water bill.
It's knowing we can be forgiven over and over and over again for doing the same sinful thing because God's mercy never fails even when we do.
And even when things are really hard, and health fails or we lose jobs or even loved ones, we can still be thankful that we have a God who chooses to give us mercy instead of what we deserve.
Theodore Roosevelt's quote, "Comparison is the thief of joy" is being pinned all over Pinterest, and it's so true in a lot of ways. But comparison can also be a giver. It can give us the ability to be thankful when we think of where we could be if not for grace.
When I consider my life, my family, and my friends, I can honestly say that life has never been fair. And that is something for which I am truly thankful.
The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
Psalm 103:8-12
