The Queue: Of questionable appropriateness
Hello, Queuemans! Normally, I revel in any chance I get to write one of these all by myself — namely because it doesn't happen all that often — but today, I'm solo Queue-ing because my dear frenemy, Liz, is in the hospital recovering from some pretty intense stuff.
As such, I'll be… well, still kind-of reveling in my trip down Solo Queue Lane — but it will be reveling with the warmest of intentions and kindest of thoughts to our favorite Thursday-Queue-writer-who-isn't-Mitch.
(Myseri): Anyone know what else we maybe getting in Patch 7.2.5? Auction House Dance Party is… I guess cool-ish-maybe.
(Saik): Q4TQ: Ok, I'll admit it. I don't get this whole Auction House Dance Party thing. Is it a micro holiday? Is it 'just because'? I'm at a loss. I usually don't hang out at the AH, and when I do make a visit, it's to the one in my garrison. By myself, on a mount, and with no one standing in my way. If this were April 1st I would have thought it were a joke.
Maybe I'm in a foul mood today, but adding a dance party to the Auction House is the last thing on a long list of things I'd like to see the devs spend their time on.
What we're getting in Patch 7.2.5 is more or less what Lore outlined in the original Developers' Notes post. That is, a couple story-focused scenarios (like the Chromie scenario and what seems to be titled 'Azeroth's Warning'), a couple more fun things like the Dance Party you mentioned, and of course, our very first Timewalking raid. Those are the big ones, but there are also a decent amount of classes being looked at closely and revamped in one way or another.
To address Saik's point about developer time, I think this comes up a lot and is a big part of why devs get a lot of undeserved hate. "Developers" is a very broad term and in all likelihood includes the developers who work on the Auction House Dance Party and the ones who work on stuff like Argus or a new raid. But within that umbrella of "developers" are a lot more sub-groups. I honestly don't know who exactly does what for all areas of Blizzard, but I suspect we're getting smaller, fun things like this because a team that can do it is free to do it, and that same team does not have the expertise to do bigger things.
Think of it like this: Terran Gregory has finished all of the Legion cinematics and could spend a few months getting a head start on 8.0 cinematic content, or he could work on fun promotional stuff (like the Chromie promo for HotS) and still hit his 8.0 content deadline. Doing the Chromie promo isn't delaying any 8.0 cinematics, nor is it taking away Terran's input on something like the boss mechanics in whatever raid is next (because he doesn't give that sort of input).
Oh, and shame on me for almost forgetting: We're getting a transmog-focused Trial of Style. Niche? Sure. Loved intensely by its intended audience? Heck-freaking-yes!
I think we all agree that, in Heart of the Storm, Cho'gall is a success. His gameplay is unique and he's well balanced.
Now, why not extend that?
Make The Lost Vikings a 3-Man Hero!!! Do you think this could be a good idea? How do you think they'd workaround it's gameplay for it to become balanced with the other team?
While I'm all for more experimentation like Blizz did with Cho'Gall (who is a chaotic blast, by the way), I don't think they should change Lost Vikings so drastically. Personally, I hate them. I tried them like once or twice in AI matches and that was the end of that. Thing is, some people really love their playstyle. They're the micromanagement heroes for people with insane APM.
As for a 3-man hero… You'd have to lose one of the Vikings' appeal in that heroes couldn't really separate. At that point, you don't have a 3-man hero, you have 3 thematically similar heroes who are weaker and maybe they'll sometimes VOLTRON themselves together.
Oh hey though, that does remind me of Mimiron's V-07-TR-0N form. Now that could potentially work as a 3-man… something. I think a 3-man hero would be too difficult purely because it could be the most powerful thing ever but you'd still lose lane coverage, which you can't afford to lose. BUT! You could still make this work. So if we got V-07-TR-0N perhaps it could be a map mechanic like the Dragon, except three people are temporarily in control of the unit instead of just one. You'd be sacrificing lane coverage still, but only for a short time and with the benefit of a giant robot wreaking havoc everywhere.
Q4TQ: do you purchase bonus rolls? Beginning in WoD, I saw maybe a 5% ROI. I gave it a shot when Legion dropped and it was about the same %…I honestly don't waste the gold or resources on them any more. RNG god will do what RNG god does…I will give no more offerings.
I do on my Priest, but that's mostly because I basically get one free thanks to one of my Order Hall upgrades, and the other two wind up being something like 3,000 Order Resources total. Since I have a combat ally equipped with one of those pieces of gear that grant extra Order Resources every time I do a World Quest, I consistently have more Resources than I'll ever need.
On my alts, I'm less diligent about it. If I know I'm about to fight a boss that has something I really want (tier gear or the Whispers trinket from Gul'dan), I usually try to make sure I pick up at least one. Otherwise, it's a matter of what I plan to do week-by-week and how many resources I can spare.
When is a void not a void?
When you avoid a void, there's a void where that void would have been — both the original void and the avoidance void occupy the same physical space, but they are not the same. Oh no, they are not the same.
How does it feel to be back Horde-side?
To be honest, it feels great. It feels right. I have always been Forsaken, and being a Night Elf Shadow Priest never quite felt… me. By no means am I a role-player when it comes to WoW — I transferred Alliance because I wanted to raid, I transferred back Horde because raiding was becoming more difficult and I prefer Horde. But playing my character as a Night Elf instead of a Forsaken felt kind of like playing your friend's save file on a game you both own. It's all technically the same, but you're not playing your file. It might be fun to see small differences your friend made here and there or how a boss can be taken down with different weapons, but at the end of the day, you want to go home to the file you made, the one that is exclusively "you."
(Eno): QftLordofDarknessMitch, has reading the new story Dark Mirror changed your feelings on anything at all regarding Sylvanas and Nathanos or anything else in the lore of WoW?
(Pavlo Probst): Ok, maybe this us better: Did you enjoy the new Sylvanas short story? I loved it, but now I'm so angry at anything Forsaken.
(Hey, if you haven't read this short story, go do so now, because this answer will includes spoilers! If you're obstinate, just skip this one and read the rest of the Queue.)
When it comes to Sylvanas and Nathanos, I'm totally happy that whatever the game dialogue was hinting at between them is pretty much confirmed. If there's a way to give Sylvanas some sort of romantic edge, Nathanos is the best choice. Oh, and I love love love that Nathanos' model change actually has a canonical explanation.
As for sacrificing Stephon… dang, man. It was a beautifully written tragedy, made all the more affective by those final lines. Honestly, it's the sort of writing that I'm a sucker for. Does the final note of regret change my opinion of the Forsaken? If anything, it makes me more sympathetic toward them. Imagine being numb to everything and then occasionally — very briefly — feeling pangs of emotion for an old life that you can't get back. Nathanos claims to have not felt it in ages, but there's also part of him hoping he and Sylvanas can die and be together in whatever afterlife awaits them.
The Sylvanas/Nathanos stuff is evil, let's be clear. But purely in terms of Forsaken living, everything between the two of them is about as romantic as those two will ever get. It's twisted, it involves ritual sacrifice, and yet it still shows the two have cared for each other for a long, long time.
I know the Forsaken are evil. This comic didn't make me think they're any more or less evil than I already thought them to be — but it did add a new dimension to them that managed to not feel out of character. I love it.
(Side note: I wrote a lot more than I thought I would by this point so…. LIGHTNING ROUND TIME!)
Q4tQ: Would Forsaken gnomes make good shadow priests?
Also, what's the deal with the total lack of daily quests that let you turn into a cat and just hang out in the sun all day?
Absolutely! Forsaken anything is great!
Magic Pet Mirror. Cat pet of your choice. Boom! Go hang out in the sun.
Are you guys planning on streaming tomorrow? I know Liz is still out of action, but you could play Diablo or even Starcraft co-op if you're shorthanded!
We were. Then we weren't because Alex's PSU b0rked. Then we were again because I got into the Necromancer beta. Then we weren't because they're disabled at the moment.
So… maybe. Blizz seems determined to stop us, though.
Know Your Lore Tinfoil Hats aren't exactly "fan fiction," but they cross the line of "here are the facts" to "this is what I imagine…" Has the Blizzard Watch staff considered expanding on this, with more columns that let the writers use their imaginations? Either what they would want to see, or fan fiction of certain areas of the game (isn't this how Liz got started?), or What if…? scenarios that are fun, if not likely?
I think one of the greatest appeals of this site is the writers and their personalities, and that comes through on live streams. But when it comes to writing, there are certain restrictions to the games and what's there, and only comes out in an intro to the Queue, or occasionally when a writer relates a question to something personal to them. If there was more space for the writers, we could have more of the personalities coming through.
I really wanted to answer this in more detail, but I'm still keeping it here to remind y'all this is the sort of feedback that would be great in email! I love "fun" posts (this one is definitely a personal favorite) but a lot of it comes down to budget (for longer articles) and actual reader interest.
Feel free to talk amongst yourselves about what would constitute these sorts of lighter posts where we can get our personal tones across more easily. I'm definitely interested to hear ideas (though I'm not promising anything here — I really have no control over this stuff).

I ran into a Tauren in Mulgore the other day who claimed to be a Mage. "So cast a Mage spell then!" I told him. Next thing I know, I'm struck by lightning and sent flying backwards. "That wasn't a Mage spell!" I yelled. "That was something only a Shaman could do!"
"I didn't think you'd notice," he said with a frown.
"Oh trust me," I began…

Recently I watched an interview with Brad Pitt. He struck me as being modest about his achievements and the media accolades being given to him, both as an actor and as a person. One line caught my attention. He described himself as being "in the zone" and "on track" in his life.
It got me thinking.
"Being in the zone" is a term used by professional athletes, sportspeople and dancers when they are demonstrating peak performance; high energy, effortless ease and accomplishment; experiencing well-being and natural joy. What would it be like to be in the zone? Is it possible for ordinary mortals? Would you want to be in the zone, if you could?
I like to think so.
Being in the zone is how you feel inside, being the human spirit that you are, as you go about fulfilling your life. Get right on the inside, and the outside will show up to match it. There has never been a better time for getting in the zone and on track, even and especially during these difficult times.
You may have no control of the circumstances around you. You can potentially choose how you respond to them; how you manage your thoughts and feelings; to enter the zone.
These 12 steps will take you in that direction:
1. Accept what is happening - Engage with your life as it is right now.
The temptation is to be angry and fight against injustices, resentful and blaming of those responsible. Instead, look for what you can do and get active with what is immediately in front of you. This will raise your energy and outlook.
2. Be real, and true to yourself - Keep your feet on the ground.
You are a magnificent being, worthy of all the good that can come to you. Honour yourself, bless yourself and keep taking the next step towards what you now want.
I recommend Dr Judith Rich's Rx for the Soul Series:
3. Focus on the present moment - Complete existing agreements.
Being in the zone is living now. Do not dwell in the past or daydream about the future. Take a deep breath - you can only take one at a time.
Fulfil agreements you have made; clear up the clutter; finish off projects that have been hanging around. Or simply declare them complete and let them go. When there is nothing holding you back, you can be fully here, now.
4. Mindful action - Turn routine tasks into meditation.
Joy can be found in taking the simplest action. When you give your full attention to an easy task, you can enjoy stillness and presence. Try it when you are sweeping a floor; cleaning the car; pulling up weeds; brushing the dog.
5. Be aware of your feelings - Learn to listen to your intuition.
Are you a human "doing"? Regain the innocence, or inner sense, of a young child by every so often, pausing to be in touch with how you feel.
Listen to yourself for when you need to take a break; to remove yourself from a situation that is not working for you; to talk to a friend you have not seen for ages. Your intuition is a hot line from within you to the world around you. Let it serve you.
"Self-trust is the first secret of success" --Ralph Waldo Emerson
6. Deal with your fears - Expand your creativity.
Fears distract you from your sense of well-being. Find out what the fear is about. Listen to what it is telling you. Use the energy of your fear to take action to resolve the issue. Develop new skills and talents.
Fear can stimulate your creativity and problem solving abilities. Fear is a friend that can open new doors for you. Mine has.
7. Connect with others - Create new networks.
You are never alone. There are others who would love to be your friend. How will you go and find them? In social networks, maybe, but what about a neighbour in a next door street?
8. Be open to receive - Be aware of new opportunities coming for you.
Opportunities may come to you through friends, a chance conversation overheard, a news item you read, an introduction, an idea that comes from "out of the blue". Keep an open mind. You never know what good may be awaiting you around the next corner.
"You can't shake hands with a clenched fist." --Indira Gandhi
9. Employ simple wisdom - You know more than you think you do.
A friend who owns a clothing and jewellery shop told me that her business had increased 45% over the last year. If she goes to work with a bad mood, she can never sell. She chooses to be happy. It helps her business.
10. Pace yourself - Allow time and space for joy, rest and recuperation.
Dr Cara Barker's words to Susan Boyle are inspiring. You know you are in the zone when you stop a moment to appreciate it.
"In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness". --Mahatma Gandhi
11. Look for blessings - Cultivate an attitude of gratitude.
This life is truly a blessing. Look for the good, and you will find it. Then more will come and find you.
Give yourself a gratitude break: take stock of 5 things you value now.
12. Give generously - Know yourself as a person who has more than enough
Give of your time, your money - even a little, your joy, talent, humour. Imagine yourself in a giving world - could be close to heaven.
Give - and you will be given more.

Secrets of Success
Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Today's one of those days I have so much to do and not a clue where to start. I just cooked breakfast, got in a quick 15 minute workout, and now I'm trying to plan where to and what first and I already feel tired just thinking about it.
Tasks: Haul water, go pick up a grocery box, clean up the fence line, feed and water animals and thaw and rinse out a frozen drainage line from the dog pen. Oh, and fit in there make lunch, check in on my man, and then make dinner...and then wash the sink load of dishes from the day so I'll have some to use tomorrow. Easy peasy.
The at home stuff is the easiest. It's the driving to places stuff I'm trying to figure because they are in opposite directions and there are time issues with meals needing to co-inside with medication (shots). I'd enlist my dad with his 4x4 to help but, mom will be here soon and heaven forbid my dad could be civil around her. I'd be more critical of him but, there are still people in my life from the past that make my brain go stupid too so, I kind of understand. Though, I make efforts to be social while face to face then lose my mind at home in private.
I guess while I'm waiting because I can't go anywhere yet until for about 45 minutes (I'm waiting on the water trailer and the food place isn't open yet or I'd go there) I'll take the excuse to at least do my tasks while looking sexy. Or, as sexy as you can look with make up on while wearing camo and mud boots. Redneck sexy...a big red truck with a grill guard, camo form fitting pants, and mud boots that look awesomely like cowboy boots. *Face palm* Hey, at least there shall be make up! Seriously, I'm just not feeling it yet today.
Made it to 4 PM. Time to go do my Walk at Home workout start dinner...and call the house work quits. I got everything done today except cleaning the fence up. I'm loving the walking videos they get me geared up slowly and it motivates me to move more and I fit them in to my afternoon.

After living here permanently for more than 22 years, managing different Hotels in Cabarete and running the biggest Kiteboarding school for 16 years I know my way around here in Cabarete.
I was a windsurfer for 20 years, did stunt windsurfing for German TV stations. In 1991 I was the first time in Cabarete for a windsurf vacation. In 1993 I had a 4 month break from a Film production and for sure I went to spent this Time in Cabarete. Being there for 2 month I got a fax from my production Team that the project is canceled and I decide t to stay a couple of months longer here in Cabarete. Well that's 22 years ago and I'm still here.
Stefan Ruether,
Stefan was the one to discover Kitebeach as ideal kiteboarding location and start the first Cabarete Kite Surfing School, in what was once the Bahia Linda beach, later to become the Famous KiteBeach.
Kitexcite was founded in 1999 by Stefan Ruether as the first Kiteboarding School in the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean. In 16 years Kitexcite taught roughly 16 000 students between 11 and 78 years.
Stefan invented a better, safer and more efficient way to teach kiteboarding. He created the Radio Helmet for kitesurfing as a remote teaching system for our Kitexcite kitesurfing students. It's a helmet with a water proof walki talkie attached to your ear.

INTERNATIONAL sport is Australia v England in the Ashes at the Gabba, Wimbledon, a golf major, world championship athletics and swimming, a Bledisloe Cup, boxing in Las Vegas or the Tour de France.
Some sports are not meant for the international stage - and the rugby league World Cup is one of them.
Australia's 62-nil quarter-final win over USA on Sunday was a farce, a game played in front of 5726 fans on a pitch that still had lines marked out for the local soccer team.
That team and individual records were broken is an insult to our champions of the past who once earned their milestones and greatness against genuine opposition in the days when Tests and World Cups were restricted to countries that could actually play the game.
The scoreline against USA should have been 70-plus but for Johnathan Thurston's rare day off with the boot.
At one stage of the first half four tries were scored in seven minutes against a team of brave but totally outclassed players.
For more than 20 years I've been listening to the same old lines from rugby league officials about having patience with the international game and developing countries.
From Kevin Humphreys to Ken Arthurson to Dave Smith … blah, blah, blah, blah.
When Australia beat Russia 110-4 in England in 2000, we were told to give them time.
The same when we beat France 74-nil in 1994 and PNG 82-nil in Townsville in 2000.
Seriously, no one cares.
Outside of Australia, New Zealand and England, it's a tournament of manufactured teams filled with NRL players, many of whom have never even visited the countries they are representing.
Distant relatives, grandmothers and great aunties, somehow allow them to qualify.
Players who quite frankly are flat out making NRL squads each week, let alone play at an international level.
It's all shown on 7mate - a channel a lot of people can't even get - at either one or six in the morning.
If there was any real interest in the tournament, Channel Nine and Fox Sports would be showing it.
This rubbish is not fair on the NRL clubs who fork out millions of dollars of wages to the elite players.
They should be resting and recuperating in the off-season, not spending eight weeks in England on what's become not much more than a boozy holiday, with a couple of serious games against the Poms and Kiwis.
Half of them are likely to struggle next year or suffer form lapses and burnout because they missed a proper off-season.
Cronulla have already lost Luke Lewis for half of 2014 and Storm could have similar problems with Billy Slater's knee.
There is one simple solution to fix this debacle.
In future World Cups should be played over three weeks and only include Australia, New Zealand, England and a country that wins a qualifying tournament.
Even a Rest of the World side could be thrown in as the fourth team.
Anything that gives us competitive football.
Anything that makes it worthwhile to suffer sleep deprivation from sitting up in the early hours of the morning.
No doubt the final in two weeks will be a blockbuster, almost certainly the Kangaroos v Kiwis.
Foran v Thurston, Sonny Bill v Gallen, Luke v Smith.
It's just a joke we've had to wait eight weeks and watch so many meaningless floggings to get to it.
The Corey Parker flick-pass for Jarryd Hayne's fourth try against the USA was the best since Benji Marshall's in the in 2005 NRL grand final.
Watching so many records get broken at the World Cup against sub-standard teams. It's not fair on champions of the past who achieved their wonderful milestones against genuine opposition.
Have we seen a greater sporting champion/ambassador than Sachin Tendulkar in the last 50 years?
Possibly Rod Laver or Roger Federer but I can't think of too many others. The Little Master's farewell speech on Saturday night was so classy, so stylish, so special.
The Wanderers continue to protect an incredible defence record in the A-League.
They have never conceded a goal in the opening 20 minutes of a game.
It's a credit to Tony Popovic's coaching that they take the field so pumped every week
Reports are emerging from the Kangaroos camp in Manchester that Titans forward Nate Myles is not the only player who doesn't get on with Cameron Smith.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
England in the great wave of migration following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Revill family lived in Warwickshire. Their name, however, is a reference to Reville, near Bernai, Normandy, the family's place of residence prior to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. The name is derived from the Old French word "revel" which means "pride, rebellion, sport", from the word "reveler" which means "to rebel." Interestingly, there is a font-name named "Revel" which was common in Old French and Middle English records which may actually be from the Latin word "rebellus."
Revill Early Origins
Somerset in 1165. Henry Revel was one of the nobles taken at Alnwick Castle, Northumberland in 1174.
Revill Spelling Variations
Revill Spelling Variations
Norman surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. The frequent changes in surnames are largely due to the fact that the Old and Middle English languages lacked definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England, as well as the official court languages of Latin and French, also had pronounced influences on the spelling of surnames. Since medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, rather than adhering to any specific spelling rules, it was common to find the same individual referred to with different spellings. The name has been spelled Revel, Revell, Revill, Reville and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Many English families emigrated to North American colonies in order to escape the political chaos in Britain at this time. Unfortunately, many English families made the trip to the New World under extremely harsh conditions. Overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the stormy Atlantic. Despite these hardships, many of the families prospered and went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the United States and Canada. Early North American immigration records have revealed a number of people bearing the name Revill or a variant listed above: John Revell settled in Salem Massachusetts in 1630; James Revell settled in Virginia in 1635; John Revell settled in Rappahannock in Virginia in 1726.

Being amongst the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world has many benefits including having your name mentioned for almost every super fight in the world. That's exactly where Ultimate Fighting Championship 185-pound titleholder
One of those names is former UFC light heavyweight champion
"Whoever the UFC wants to put in front of him. No one's mentioned anything about it.
MMAWeekly.com has also heard rumblings from industry insiders that while Liddell is indeed in negotiations for his next fight, the bout that has been talked about does not include Silva's name attached to it. Nothing has been signed or cemented, so things could change if the UFC gets serious about putting the two together.
As for Silva, he is open to any and all challengers, and that includes any weight class.
"What do you think about
A number of super fights could bog Silva down for his next few match-ups, but what about his middleweight title and possibly a chance to avenge an earlier disqualification loss to
"Anderson doesn't really think that way," Soares commented about a possible rematch with Okami. "If that's who the UFC wants to put in front of him, then great, we'll fight him. He doesn't really pick his opponents, so whoever they put in front of him, he'll take."
All signs point to Anderson Silva stepping out of the 185-pound weight class for the time being as Soares was quoted as saying he may " venture off and do a couple fights at 205."
Whatever his next fight holds, Anderson Silva is in a unique position to be a part of some of the biggest bouts in UFC history in the very near future.

Bonne Maman Chestnut Spread or Jam
The French love their spreads in the morning, especially anything Bonne Maman. The sweet, checkered-top jars look like they contain a French grandmother's secret recipe, and their contents are not far off. This Bonne Maman chestnut spread ($7) is lesser known in America but incredibly popular in France. Spread it on toast, dollop atop yogurt or ice cream, bake it in a pound cake, or just take a spoon to the jar.

Here is what is known about the bombers so far, following raids across the Belgian capital which resulted in six suspects being arrested in connection with the attack.
:: Blew himself up on a metro train at Maalbeek station on Tuesday, killing at least 20 people.
:: Sentenced to five years for car-jacking in 2011.
:: According to Belgium's De Morgen newspaper, he violated the terms of his parole in May 2015 by maintaining contact with past criminal associates - but was freed by a magistrate nonetheless.
:: Prior to the attack, a man was seen on CCTV carrying a large bag alongside el Bakraoui in the station.
It is unclear whether that suspect was killed in the bombing or is still at large.
:: El Bakraoui was on the US government's counter-terrorism watch list.
:: Brother to Khalid, he blew himself up at Brussels' Zaventem Airport, killing at least 11 people.
:: Sentenced to nine years behind bars in 2010 for shooting at police officers during an attempted robbery at a money transfer office.
:: Skipped parole after serving less than half of the jail term.
:: Turkey's President has claimed el Bakraoui was arrested in July 2015 near the Syrian border - and alleged Belgian and Dutch authorities were notified he was a "foreign terrorist fighter" when he was deported to The Netherlands.
:: Investigators found el Bakraoui's will on a computer thrown in a bin in Schaerbeek - the suburb where the airport attackers had travelled from with their suitcase bombs.
:: Part of his will said: "I don't know what to do. I'm in a hurry. I'm on the run. People are looking for me everywhere. And if I give myself up then I'll end up in a cell."
:: Like his younger brother, el Bakraoui was on the US government's counter-terrorism watch list.
:: The second attacker who targeted Zaventem Airport with a bomb concealed in a suitcase.
:: Left Brussels for Syria in February 2013 and is suspected of having made the explosive vests used in last November's Paris attacks, and possibly the bombs detonated in Brussels.
:: Laachraoui's DNA was found in houses used by the Paris attackers.
:: Family claims he had given no warning signs of being radicalised before he broke off all contact and travelled to Syria.
:: His actions have been condemned by his younger brother Mourad, who also told a news conference: "He was a nice boy, and above all he was clever, that's what I remember of him."
:: He was caught on surveillance cameras wheeling a suitcase at Zaventem Airport wearing a hat and a light-coloured jacket, alongside Ibrahim el Bakraoui and Najim Laachraoui.
:: Investigators have said his suitcase bomb was the largest of them all, but it failed to detonate and was found close to the scene.
:: He was seen running away from the terminal and is believed to be still at large.
:: US authorities know his identity, Sky News has learned - and he is also on their terror watch list.

The Cellar Door opens for wine enthusiasts
Published 7:00 pm, Thursday, September 23, 2010
Two and a half years ago three brothers and their wives set out to bring their love of wine to the Katy area.
After hard work, much experimentation and learning, the Cellar Door opened its doors last week and officially held their ribbon cutting Wednesday.
The Cellar Door is not only a wine bar, but also a winery.
The family run operation brings grapes from California and Texas and makes several varieties of wine on location.
"Most of our wines we do make," said Caroline LaHaye, one of the wine-makers and owners of The Cellar Door.
"There are some that we are just not making at the time that we bring in from other vineyards and wineries and we have hand selected those."

Currently, the Cellar Door sells its own Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, sweet fruit wines, Port, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Malbec and Cabarnet Sauvignon wines.
Customers can enjoy tastings daily from noon until 6 p.m. for $3 for three tastings. Tastings are free if you buy a bottle of wine.
After 6 p.m. customers can enjoy three flights of any wine for $8.
The business also have different cheese and meat plates for people to have with their wine.
The winery also has a banquet room for parties and events and a cigar room.
The family has always been interested in wine and loves to drink it.
"We are all big winos, we love wine," said LaHaye.
"I think our greatest passion is the making of the wine because to create something of your own and blend it the way you want it and taste the end result it's such a rewarding experience."
The Cellar Door can also provide custom labeling for their customers.

TekNmotion Pulsar SX Gaming Headset ReviewSoftware & Performance »
The Package
TekNmotion's Pulsar SX headset ships in a very colorful box with a lot of graphics. The headset is well protected inside and is packed to survive harsh handling. TekNmotion clearly targets a younger crowd seeking a reasonably priced, decent looking headset. The microphone is detachable which is a neat feature if you do not want to use the microphone that comes bundled with the headset.
I think the bundle that comes with the Pulsar SX is quite unusual. You will find a USB sound card on the cable, which has a bit of an odd implementation, because it is positioned between the headset and the mini-jack breakout and not after the breakout box. You can also hook up the headset the normal way via two mini-jacks, however, if you want the vibration feature to work it needs to be hooked up to either a USB port or the battery pack.
Closer Examination
Above you can see the headset in all its shiny glory. It is pretty good looking by normal standards for such a cheap headset. You can definitely debate whether the shiny plastic surface is a pro or a con, it does look good, but scratches will show up quicker than if it had been a semi textured surface. It is not the most durable headset around for the price of $59.99, but it does have a few extra tricks up its sleeves. One of them being the USB sound card, which can be very handy if you are a laptop user.
From the side you can clearly see the microphone on its long boom. The microphone boom is both long and flexible which means it is easy to reposition it to get the best possible sound quality. The Pulsar SX headset has a couple of LEDs in each cup which can light up when you have music playing or gaming. The feature is not very useful but is kind of cool if you are into flashing lights.
When it comes to comfort TekNmotion has done a pretty good job considering that this is a low budget headset. It is not one I would wear for a whole day in the sun, but it is definitely ok if you just use it for an hour or two at a time. The headband is also quite good, however, since it is made of some kind of imitated leather it has a tendency to become rather hot after an hour of use. The earcups are completely sealed off as well which means that there is a buildup of heat when you use them.
A foam sleeve is present on the microphone which should help to reduce wind noise and pops. The microphone is actually removable and is connected to the body of the headset via a mini-jack connector.
This headset is big enough to accommodate my big skull. Most people will be able to get a comfortable fit with the TekNmotion headset because the size adjusters have a relatively long span.
If you want to use the vibration feature without hooking up the headset to a USB power source you can just use the battery adapter. The battery adapter uses four AA batteries.
On the picture above you can see the small breakout box where one cable from the USB sound card / in-line controller goes in and a couple of mini-jacks and a USB cable go out.
The USB sound card or control box if you will, houses a lot of essential functions except microphone volume control. You do however, have a microphone on / off button which is a nice feature to have.
There is a small tab on the side that lets you choose between three modes of operation. One with everything turned off, another with everything on, and the third with lights on, but without the vibration. The feature I find to be of most use on the control box, besides the volume control, is the microphone mute button. It is an essential feature when you use voice activation on a VoIP program.
The driver used in the Pulsar SX is a pretty normal one and looks like any other of the generic kind.

VPX Meltdown Review 2014: Side Effects & Ingredients
VPX Meltdown is a fat-burning weight loss supplement that gives, �The Euphoria of 40,000 Chocolate Bars that removes fat like a Blow Torch!� (VPX website).
While VPX does make some very bold claims, they do back up these claims. Because the ingredients were specifically engineered for this supplement, the biggest question is what the long term effects of this supplement might be.
What makes VPX Meltdown different from other fat-burners?
Like many other fat-burning supplements, VPX Meltdown claims to:
- Suppress your appetite
- Block Fat absorption
- Increase Fat burning potential
- Step-up your metabolism
Take a look at the VPX website and you will realize the manufacturer is very passionate about this product.
They have done extensive research and testing to create the ingredients used in this supplement.
They claim to have amazing results with their superior ingredients, far surpassing the simple ingredients used in other fat-burning supplements.
This sounds impressive, but they do not give actual research findings on the website (there are no specific numbers listed).
What are the ingredients?
As explained earlier, many of the ingredients contained in VPX Meltdown were supposedly specifically engineered for this specific product.
Here is a list of exactly what those ingredients are (contained in 3 capsules):
- Fat Catabolizor� & �-3 Potentiator 317mg
- Caffeine Anhydrous
- M_TTA (Methyl Tetradecylthioacetic Acid)
- Yerba Mate Extract
- lipolytic Trigger�
- 3?-5?-CAMP (3?-5?-Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate)
- Super Synephrine� �-3 Activator� 20mg
- Methyl-Synephrine HCL
- Iphoric� Potent Methyl �-3 PEA Matrix 138mg
- R-Beta Methoxyphenylethylamine
- N-Methyl-Beta-Phenylethylamine
- NorEpiphex� a2-Andrenergic Blockade Complex 9mg
- 11-Hydroxy Yohimbine
- Yohimbine HCL
- Alpha-Yohimbine
- NorEpiphex� M-MAOxidizor-I� 20mg
- Methyl-Hordenine HCL
These ingredients are found in many other weight loss supplements, but in other forms.
VPX Meltdown Must be Targeting 13-Year Old Boys
If you read between the lines here, you�ll notice that they basically have Yohimbe (which is really only effective when combined with guarana and damiana), caffeine, synephrine, and phenylethylamine
I mean seriously folks, �Potentiator?� I get the feeling VPX Meltdown�s creators just sat around with a dictionary and combined their favorite syllables.
They�re targeting the ignorant here for sure. They�ve basically made up these compound names as just another wooly ((by �wooly� I mean pulling the wool over your eyes)) marketing technique to appear to be something they�re not.
VPX Meltdown Targeting Euphoria Extremists
When I first heard about �the euphoria of 40,000 chocolate bars� I was a little shocked.
I am a choc-aholic, but the thought of the euphoria I feel from one chocolate bar multiplied by 40,000 made me cringe.
I am not sure how that can be good for your system. And why would you want the euphoria of 40,000 chocolate bars?
Again, they may have done their own research, but it is not available for consumers to review, and long term effects of these engineered ingredients are unknown.
Yohimbine in high doses has been proven to bring side effects including dizziness, nausea, insomnia, anxiety, and increased blood pressure.
Again, we can�t be sure of what the yohimbine in this supplement might bring as far as side effects.
VPX Meltdown just had a breakthrough. They invented a new way of leveraging the supplement facts on a diet pill to mislead consumers.
Watch for other companies to follow close behind. They fail to provide consumers with the actual results of the research they have �conducted�, which is suspicous.
Until VPX releases all the results of their studies we recommend looking for a proven weight loss supplement that doesn�t prey on the ignorant.VPX Meltdown Review 2014: Side Effects & Ingredients by Miriam Jones

Dr. Salman bin Fahd al-Odah, Assistant Secretary General of the Federation of Muslim Scholars, spoke in a wide-ranging interview on a Ramadan TV program that was shown throughout the Arab world.Salman bin Fahd al-Odah har en wikipediasida, där han framstår som en respektabel man som kritiserat Osama bin Laden. Bland annat står det så här:
Al-Odah's topic was - Jews.
He spoke approvingly of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, as well as an Arabic book called "Stones on the Chessboard" with a similar theme. […]
He said that Jews are the most racist people, and that the Koran describes Jews as treacherous and murderous. He also said that the final battle between Muslims and Jews is soon in coming. […]
He then went on to say that the Talmud and other Jewish holy books demand the murder of non-Jewish children in order to make matzoh for Passover, and he said that this is documented historically as well as in an Arabic novel called "The blood of the unleavened bread of Zion." He also said, as proof, "I read a story that a doctor was working in a lab and he lived near a Jewish family so they asked him about human blood, and he began to investigate only to discover that scandal" that Jews bake matzoh with human blood.
Al-Ouda has stated that he is currently supporting peace and coexistence with other religions. He announced that this was a result of deeper understanding of Islamic teachings.Men på arabiska handlar det alltså om judar som slaktar barn och bakar bröd på deras blod.
Självklart påverkar denna galopperande antisemitism också oss i väst. De arabiska tv-kanalerna går att ta in via satellit. Hatet framförs också av en religiös auktoritet.

"Jan" has a miraculous story of coming to The Next Door! In early 2015, she was living at a "halfway house" that she considered a "toxic" environment. This was her fifth facility, where she attempted to start over and recover from her alcohol addiction. But, with no accountability in place, she soon found herself buying a bottle of liquor at a nearby store. On her way home from the liquor store, she was attacked by a man who assaulted her and stole the bottle of liquor and all the money in her pockets. She laid there on the side of the road, badly beaten and in total despair. Jan was ready to give up the fight that night, tired of battling the addiction that had such a stronghold on her life.
Soon, an ambulance picked her up and she remembers praying on the ride to the emergency room for God to either take her life or to send her a miracle. Jan had been a drunk for as long as she could remember and recounts that "no good thing ever came from being hooked on the devil's juice." A caseworker in the ER called The Next Door and referred Jan for care. Upon arrival, Jan had three broken ribs and her face badly bruised. Walking in the doors of The Next Door was the start of her recovery journey. It was her miracle.
After completing her 30 day treatment program, Jan got accepted to TND's residential transition program, where stayed for 6 months, to find employment and continue with daily group meetings and weekly meetings with her counselor and caseworker. Jan is committed to being a "sober Granny" to her children and grandchildren and being someone they can be proud of today.

Hello All!
I am very excited to begin planning my first trip to Europe with my boyfriend. We have about 2 weeks to travel (give or take a couple days). We will probably leave at the end of June.
We are hoping to visit Italy, Germany, and Amsterdam.
We are hoping to get some helpful tips on....
-best places to visit that is also practical for getting from one country to another.
-best ways to travel to each country (plane or train?)
-how many days are recommended.
We are really just beginning our research, so any ideas or tips would be extremely helpful!
Thank you!!

First Trip to Europe- Italy, Germany, Amsterdam
Hello All!

best ways to travel to each country (plane or train?)>
Trains inside the country for sure - go everywhere all the time - you can take overnight trains between say Amsterdam and Germany and Germany and Italy - fly open-jaw - land in Amsterdam and fly home from Italy. Overnight trains save daytime travel time and the cost of a night's accommodation- you can get a private compartment for the ultimate relaxed ride - caution - my friend swears his son was conceived on a night train to Venice!
Or to save money get a couchette for a lot cheaper than a private compartment but then be in with stranger - both sexes but you get your own berth and bedding, etc. But no privacy!
For lots on European trains check these IMO superb sources - www.ricksteves.com; www.seat61.com and www.budgeteuropetravel.com- check out their free and excellent IMO European Planning & Rail Guide on their site for tips on rail itineraries in those countries.
If under 26 check out bargain Eurail Youth Passes (Select Passes good for the countries you chose - if over 25 the adult passes cost more but still could be a good deal depending on how many longish train trips you end up taking.

train or plane. we are big fans of overnight trains (many are not, and have a hard time sleeping.) we like that it's easy-on, easy-off. we like getting on in one country and waking up at our destination.
having said that, we are flying from paris to italy next month. we got our flight well ahead, and found fares of just 50E, which is much cheaper than a sleeper would be.
are you going to do this without renting a car??? that will really direct which towns you want to try to visit... also let us know what most interests you. big cities or villages. enjoy the planning!
Report Abuse
"best places to visit that is also practical for getting from one country to another."
If you began in A'dam... I would want at least 3-4 nights there. Take an outing to Zaanse Schans by train.
After that... It's an easy trip from Amsterdam to the Middle Rhine Valley in Germany. Spend 3-4 nights here and visit the Mosel Valley (Cochem, Trier, Burg Eltz Castle) as well. If you left A'dam on the 8:05 train you'd be in the town of Boppard (very good base town for both rivers) by noon. (That said, a stopover of several hours in Cologne is worthwhile if you want to see some museums and the Cologne cathedral.) Middle Rhine Valley highlights include Marksburg and Rheinfels Castles, the river cruise, old-world towns like Oberwesel and Bacharach. MRV info:
From the Rhine you can fly inexpensively using Frankfurt Hahn airport on Ryanair to several Italian cities.
Of course you could spend two full weeks in any ONE of these countries and save a lot of moving-around time! But based on what you've said, this is roughly how I'd cut it up.
Report Abuse
First of all you really need to clarify how many days your have. Two weeks plus weeks and leaving on a Friday evening will give you 15.5 days in europe - the first half day probably being jet lagged. But there is a huge difference between 15.5 day and 10.5 day.
Second IMHO if you want to see much of any one place you need to spend 3 nights (2 days) or 4 nights there (3 days). Which means you are really limited to 4 cities at the most (or 3 if you only have 10.5 days).
Finally Germany and Italy are entire countries and you easily spend more than a month in each just seeing a few highlights.
So if you can tell us where you want to go - something must have made you pick those countries - we can help you refine the trip.
For a young couple I would reco Berlin in Germany and probably Rome in Italy. those 2 plus Amsterdam will easily take the time you have.
And if you use train or planes really depends on exactly where you go.
Report Abuse
krisskross - what do you think?
Report Abuse
Berlin indeed will be a better option in Germany for you, guys! The city of fashion, music and groundbreaking creativity. So many things to do and to see there!
Even if you're not a museum goer, there are always some interesting events on, parties, exhibitions, performances, whatever!.. Just wandering along the city streets is pure joy, with all that landmarks and cute bears statues around you!
I would advise to spend at least 3 days in the German capital..
Report Abuse
I'd focus on Amsterdam, Mosel and Hamburg. Cuts the travel time and costs down, lots to do and places to see.
Report Abuse
Wow! This was all so helpful! Thank you.
After some more research and discussion, we have a few more details ironed out. The 2 weeks is based more on prices rather than time. Although we don't have an exact budget yet, we would like to stay as long as we can (most likely 15 days).
We are interested in Amsterdam and Berlin. However, we are really interested in Roman history. With that said, would 3 days be enough to really see it? Or would you recommend a separate trip to Italy?
You said... If under 26 check out bargain Eurail Youth Passes (Select Passes good for the countries you chose - if over 25 the adult passes cost more but still could be a good deal depending on how many longish train trips you end up taking.
I am 26 and my boyfriend is 25, would we both qualify for Eurail Youth Passes?
Report Abuse
Berlin is so interesting and we found the hotel prices much lower than other cities we visited in Europe.
For Roman history you have many choices. The obvious choice is Rome, Ostica Antica and Pompeii but there are Roman sites all over Europe including London and Paris.
Amsterdam is a favorite of mine, small, walkable and charming.
Report Abuse
Trier (Mosel) was the capital of the Roman empire for some 20 years with a fair few buildings still standing (city wall gate, baths, horse racing track etc), Ravenna (east coast northern Italy, lots of stuff standing but we are talking 300 500 AD) for the western empire for a few hundred years and Split (Croatia the palace is still here if being used in a variety of ways) was the capital when the two empire were "split". You might find stuff here that interests you.
Are there specific periods of Roman history that you are interested in or is it just "Roman"? Within Italy there were other cultures that the Romans "took-out" and their remains are interesting, southern Italy was actually called "Greater Greece" to indicate the large number of colonies present, while Etruscans linked together around 12 cities in mainly Tuscany. The Sabina hills are supposed to be where the Sabine women came from which is now part of Rome.

"I am 26 and my boyfriend is 25, would we both qualify for Eurail Youth Passes?"
Before you jump on a EURAIL Pass, check out the GERMAN RAIL PASS. It's €408/2 for 7 days of train travel within a month. And it also gets you to destinations in Italy, Belgium, France, Austria, Poland, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Croatia, and the UK:
7-day Eurail select passes for you two will cost around €900.
Report Abuse
If you really like Roman history, then take a separate trip to Italy.
However, on this one, as Bilbo indicates, you can see a lot of Roman stuff around Trier: Porta Nigra, ruins of Roman baths and amphitheater, Constantine's palace, among others. Also an archaeological museum with lots of Roman stuff.
Report Abuse
I see that you have 2 weeks and 3 major destinations:
1. Amsterdam (with daytrips to Utrecht, Alkmaar, maybe the coast).
2. Berlin (with daytrips to Potsdam, Schwerin, maybe even Dresden).
3. Rome (with a daytrip to Ostia Antica, maybe even to Florence).
With this itinerary, the cheapest way to travel are flights between these 3 cities.
Railpasses are a thing of the past. Today, we use those super-saver fares which are more economical than the railpasses. But given the great distances between your 3 destinations, flying makes more sense and should be even less expensive.
Report Abuse
I agree with the notion of staying north for this trip, especially if you're going in summer when Italy tends to be hot, crowded and very expensive.
Visiting TRIER for things Roman isn't a bad idea at all - lots to see there. Also... Near the Dutch border a ways north of Düsseldorf is a charming German town and old Roman outpost called XANTEN which offers a lot to see at the "archaelogical park" there.
Xanten town:
Xanten Archaeological Park:
An operational windmill in Xanten still grinds grain for the bakery housed in the windmill's ground floor.
Report Abuse
I live near Xanten, but we have to be honest: It is mostly reproduction and mainly made for kids.
I agree that Trier is one the most significant Roman archeological sites - with large structures - in Northern Europe and I would add that in Cologne you find one of the best museums of Roman archeology in the world.
But Rome plays in another league. It is the orign and the center of the Empire. And travelling from Berlin to Rome is faster and easier than from Amsterdam to Trier. One or two hours flight time is nothing. And you get tickets for less than €100.
I just entered a dummy date in May for a flight from Berlin to Rome and found 4 airlines with direct flights. The fare was from €53.09 to €75.99. Flight time is 2:05.
So why not flying to Rome?
(We Europeans do such trips regularly for business or just for a weekend.)
Report Abuse
t...59 is correct that Xanten is a reconstruction - but it's reconstructed based on extensive archaeological study of the Xanten site - and it is not a theme park at all (if that's the impression you might have gotten.) Although German school groups do go there and there are a few things for kids, it is primarily an adult attraction IMO and IME. That said, I hope you don't think I'm equating Xanten, or Trier with Rome... XANTEN IS NOT ROME and is not a must - just something Roman that happens to be in a convenient spot for you, something you might include since you are "really interested in Roman history." You need to go to the real Rome; if you choose not to on this trip (and there might be reasons not to this time) then do see it sometime. To me it makes more sense to see Rome when you see Venice, Florence, Sienna etc. - places IMO that should also be on every bucket list.
Report Abuse
"Railpasses are a thing of the past. Today, we use those super-saver fares which are more economical than the railpasses."
IMO railpasses still play a role in certain situations (I am using one myself next month.) Saver fares offer enormous advantages but come with a downside as well for certain travelers and itineraries. I don't think railpasses should be ignored as a matter of travel policy. One obvious situation might be the last-minute trip - what if you haven't had time to plan or to pre-purchase saver fares before they've gone sky-high? Just for example... If you land in Berlin for a few days then want to travel to Freiburg, the cheapest Berlin-Freiburg ticket costs nearly €284 for two at a ticket window. The smart consumer keeps the rail pass option in mind and buys a 3-DAY German Rail twin pass instead at €287/2. For €3, a couple gets two free days of travel.

Hi Friends!
We've made a lot of progress in planning. We are going to visit Frankfurt, Berlin, and Amsterdam. Any suggestions on a 4th city? We love food, culture, art, and meeting new people!
Also, we were hoping to get more information on the trains...
How far in advance should we book the rail pass (baln.eurorail)? Do you need a reservation for each trip? Is there a big difference between first class and second class on the train? How easy is it to travel from one country to another? How early do you need to arrive to the train station prior to your departure?
And last....Any good sites/ suggestions for booking hotels?
Thank you for all of your help so far! You all rock!!
Report Abuse
seat61.com to explain trains
booking.com is good for hotels but tripadvisor.co.uk best for advice
Report Abuse
How far in advance should we book the rail pass (baln.eurorail)?>
that's www.bahn.de/en - you should compare prices and specials for agents in your own country vs bahn.de prices - take whatever is best - they are not always the same and can go either way. Also check for specials on either end - like a free day of travel at times - usually off season however.
Report Abuse
Important! Do you have your plane tickets yet? If not, buy open jaws tickets into one city like Amsterdam, out of another, like maybe Berlin or Frankfurt. Open jaws tickets (called multi-city on airline web sites) should cost about the same as round-trip and save you time and money spent backtracking to your arrival city.
Report Abuse
What are your plans for Frankfurt? It's a less common choice. We stayed in Heidelberg and enjoyed it so you could visit from Frankfurt if you wished.
With three cities, I'd consider choosing a smaller town for your fourth destination - or just stick to three and add some day trips. Maybe Utrecht or Maastricht or somewhere more rural? No doubt there are heaps of lovely small towns between Berlin and Frankfurt but it's not an area I'm familiar with so will leave to others to suggest.
If you have specific questions which seat61 doesn't answer, come back and ask.
Report Abuse
Heidelberg is great - one of the few larger German cities not blitzed to bits during WW2 - some say because the allies planned to use it as their post-war HQs which the Americans did - there are still lots of American GIs in the area. But a neat castle hovering over the town - neat Altstadt with famous student pubs (large university town) - a neat place for a leisurely day.
Report Abuse
Why has Frankfurt suddenly appeared on the itinerary?
Honestly, I lived there for three years, and if I happen to have a few hours layover there, I enjoy a quick visit, but I would never deliberately put it on the itinerary when there are so many incredible places to visit instead.
Frankly, IMHO, it would be way near the bottom of any list of interesting places to see in Europe.
Report Abuse
Frankfurt? WHY? I've spent a major percentage of my life in Europe and Frankfurt has to be one of the least desirable places I've ever set foot in. What guidebooks and internet sites have you been reading that lead you to think it should be a focus of a very short trip to Europe?
Sure, it's Europe and it's got a few things to see and do, but honestly, with ALL of Europe at your fingertips, why Frankfurt? It's like making a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the USA and deciding that Rapid City is on the bucket list.
