This document describes in great detail the three surviving photos that I have of the studios of radio station KCEY, 1390 A.M., in Turlock, California. These photos were taken during my on-air shift on Thursday, April 17, 1975.
Feel free to edit as you wish, as this is only the foundation of a book that I plan to write about KCEY, circa 1975. I assume that the audience will be very small, but Im writing it more for myself, my children, and my grandchildren yes, Im a grandfather! These writing definitely capture a bygone era of radio, that sadly, will never return. In writing down my memories, I hope to bring the glory days of KCEY back to a new generation of radio fans, and disc jockey wannabees. Basically, all I ask is that I receive credit on your web site. I would also be grateful for links to my personal web sites, although they have nothing to do with KCEY or Modesto radio.
The first two photos describe Danny Knight, and the KCEY control room. The third photo describes the production studio.
I am in the process of writing a mini book about my years at KCEY. This information will be incorporated into the chapters of Danny Knight, Control Room, and Production Studio. You have truly lighted a fire under me!
The control room was small, probably only about 10 by 18 feet or so. The walls featured that vertically-lined, off sound-absorbing tiles that were so popular with radio stations in the 1970s, and they were painted flat, dusty, light mustard yellow. Occasionally, painted highlights could be found, such as the trim around the window just behind the mixing board, that faces the large, unused, studio. The furniture was made locally, and the counter top was constructed of Formica, in sort of an off-white color. The floor was tiled with dark brown linoleum, and the metal office chair had dark green, plastic cushioning, and had only for legs, as was common in those days. The studio was shabby, out-of date, but fairly comfortable and fully functional.

This is a photo of me, Eric Rench, a.k.a. Danny Knight on the air in the KCEY control room, during the days when the station was located on Quincy Ave. I was actually on the air and speaking into the mike, when this photo was snapped by Bob Neutzling, a.k.a. Bill Martin and sometimes referred to as Billy the Kid. At the time, Bill was the program director, afternoon jock, and part-time salesman at KCEY. This photo was taken at 1915, as I recall that I was reading the weather for the KCEY Weathervane which always occurred at 00:15 past the hour. The exact date escapes my memory
Caravan of
Country Hits

There are some interesting details that are sort of blurred, yet visible in the background of the photo. To the extreme left of the photo, youll notice a rack of equipment. That is the old automation system that KCEY used before Milt Hall purchased the station, back in the days when they advertised themselves as The Mighty Casey and tried to beat KFIV in the top-40 format. You cant see it in the photo, but below the control panel there was one of those round carousels that held songs recorded on to standard audio cartridges, a.k.a. carts, used in the automation system. This equipment was not used, and to my knowledge, it wasnt in operating condition. During the broadcast day, KCEY was live at all times, with a disc jockey spinning records, playing jingles, promos and spots on carts, and reading rip and read news, sports and weather.
Partly visible behind my left ear, youll notice an Ampex rack-mounted reel-to-reel tape deck. KCEY had two of them; the bottom panel just had a piece of sheet metal covering over it. These tape decks were standard broadcast tape decks and had three speeds: 1-7/8 i.p.s., 3-3/4 i.p.s., and 7-1/4 i.p.s., with a reel capacity of 7-1/2 which was pretty much standard. We used the tape decks mostly for religious and public service programming on Sunday morning. Wed receive tapes from various religious organizations as we featured a block of religious programming on Sunday morning from 0600 to 1200; Milt Hall was very religious. For those who are interested in taped programs, all of the syndicated religious programs would be played at 7-1/2 i.p.s. I would go live, on-air, spinning the country hits until my relief arrived at 1400. I didnt have to be back to work until 1600 the next day, so I had an evening off to hit the bars.
I made quite a few tapes in the production studio of songs played back-to-back with canned announcements, so I could put them on if I had an especially hot groupie on the phone, or had other pressing business. Most of my tapes ran for about 15 minutes or so; you could do that at night as your spot load was low, the program director wasnt listening, and nobody really cared as long as the records were playing, the spots were getting played, and there was no dead air. As for as the format clock, I ignored it during the rare times I played my custom tapes.
The photo shows a tape queued up and ready to play on the top tape deck. During my evening shift, I always had both decks queued and ready to play, as you never knew when a hot woman would call the request line. Such is the mindset of a young and dumb, 22 year old single guy.
To the right of the mike is the rack that contained the equipment used to control the transmitter. Using this equipment, you were able to take meter readings every half hour, as required by the F.C.C. at the times, and turn the transmitter on and off. It also contained control equipment for the private line that KCEY leased from Pacific Telephone that carried the audio feed from the studio to the transmitter, some 15 miles distant. I have no idea of the speed of the line, as I didnt know much about telephony in those days, but I DO know that the frequency response was highly upgraded from the typical telephone lines of those days. I would guess that the audio frequency range was probably from about 100 to 8000 Hz; such for the quality of A.M. radio in the 1970s! No wonder F.M. took over for music lovers.
Anyway, we took meter readings, which consisted of plate voltage, amp readings and phase angles and entered the data into an engineering log. Just like station identifications, this data had to be read and entered into the log at 00:00 and 00:30, plus or minus 2 minutes in order to comply with F.C.C. regulations. You entered the data into a paper log using a ball point pen.
KCEY operated at the power of 5000 watts day and night. We had a three-element array, arranged in the shape of a 30-60-90 triangle located about 15 miles east of Turlock, near the small community of Montpelier. Our antenna patterns were directional, both day and night,so to be a jock on KCEY you required to have a valid F.C.C. First Class Radiotelephone License.
During the day, we used two of our antennas and broadcast in a pattern that protected KFIV, 1360, in nearby Modesto. Our main lobe radiated to the southeast, but we had a minor lobe that narrowly Modesto and broadcasted our signal to the west; during the day, KCEY could clearly be heard in San Francisco.
Things got interesting at night, as we used all three towers to beam our main lobe shifted directly west, we had a minor lobe, probably with an e.r.p. of only a few watts, that broadcast our signal to the east. Naturally, Turlock and southern Modesto received KCEYs signal with full strength, as did the dairy farmers to the west, who religiously tuned us in as they were milking their cows, which was a good thing, as KCEY and Modesto were our main source of revenue. But since our signal was focused west, it wasnt unusual for us to receive QSL card requests from listeners in New Zealand, Australia, and all over the South Pacific Ocean. Since I was an amateur radio operator, and a broadcast band DX-er (Did I pick the ideal occupation??) I usually volunteered the job of replying to the verification requests. We didnt have a station QSL card, so I just typed up a verification letter on the IBM Selectric typewriter, on KCEY stationary, that was located in the front office, on Terri Theiss (a.k.a. June Day; more on her later) desk. Sometimes Milt would spring for postage, sometimes he wouldnt. I can remember many times when I paid for postage out of my own pocket; such as the identity that I felt for broadcast band DX-ers.
To regress, I got interested in broadcast band DX-ing at the young age of I-cant-remember, using a 5-tube superhet receiver, but I was probably all of about 6 years old, as I can vividly remember jocks, call letters and formats from the late 1950s, when I was just a little kid. Later, I got into ham radio and earned the Novice call of WN6WLD at the age of 12; let the call die as I discovered GIRLS, but came back as N6MPM a few years later. Just for the record, Im WS6L and have been that way since 1985. So during my days at KCEY, I was always happy to receive the DX reports, check them against the engineering and program logs, and happily issue a verification report. I really enjoyed that duty. By the way, most of that duty I performed while on the air, playing a record.
Photo 2 KCEY Control Room
This is where it gets good, as this is the control room of KCEY, showing the board and many of the conveniences that the jock on the air had available to him. The word him is not meant to be sexist, as aside from June Days spots and promos, all of the on-air staff was male. Keep in mind this was in the mid-1970s. Also note that the clock to the right of the photo reads 10:02 P.M. so the photos were taken while I was on-air, and on duty.
Ill start at the left-bottom corner of the photo and work around upward, and clockwise. After taking a tour of a modern radio station control room the other day, (KCCL 101.9 FM) KCEYs control room looks like it belongs in a museum. I have to be honest that when these photos were taken, KCEYs equipment was old, and well-used, even by 1975 standards. When they moved to their new studios in 1978, the station was equipped with state-of-the-art equipment.
In the bottom left corner, theres a Motorola microphone attached to the console. KCEY used to equip their vehicles with two-way radios for news reports and actualities, but by the time I came to the station, this equipment had long fallen into disuse. The radio was mounted under the desk, and it was actually an old G.E. Progress Line rig from the early 1960s, that transmitted on the VHF high business band. I never did find out what frequency KCEY had used, as I wasnt all that interested.
Next to the microphone is the panel where the stations phone lines appeared. KCEY had one request line, which was 209 632-1390 and five business lines; the numbers I dont recall. If you wanted to dial out, you pushed the button of the line you wanted, waited for dial tone, and dialed the number on the rotary dial. No touchtone pads in Turlock in 1975! Only the request line and the main number were published in the phone book, and the extra lines were mostly used by the sales staff to make calls. As customary with most radio stations of the era, one line was a hot line unpublished, and super secret, that was only used when one staff member wanted to contact the on-air personality. When you saw the light blink of the hot line you answered immediately. You just answered the line by saying hello, just in case you got a wrong number. No called ID in those days either!
The second rotary dial was for the request line, 209 632-1390 (1390 was our frequency in KHz; cute ) and it only appeared in the control room. When receiving a call, it didnt light a light above the microphone like the other lines did; it emitted a buzzzz-buzzzzz each time the line would ring. If you were on the air and you were talking without any music or other sound effects, it could faintly be heard, although I doubt any of the listeners noticed it, such was the fidelity of A.M. radio in 1975.
Now I LOVED the request line, as I was 23 and very single, and that was the line that the groupies called on. Ill talk more about the request line in another chapter, as Im trying to discuss the technical details of the control room. Actually, I was the only dj that liked the request line, as the others tolerated it, at best. Bill Martin (Bob Neutzling) hated it so much that he always took it off the hook. The telephone switching equipment wasnt electronic, so the mechanical equipment wouldnt busy out the line automatically if it detected an off-hook condition like the switching equipment does today. So when Bill was on the air, and a listener attempted to phone in a request, he or she would receive endless rings until their patience was exhausted and they hung up.
Directly above the telephone equipment, on the console, is where the number 1 and number 2 turntables were installed. KCEY had a total of 3 turntables and number 3 is on the right side of the console, just in front of the stack of cart machines. KCEYs turntables were broadcast-standard, manual turntables, with speeds of 33 and 45 rpm. The switches to turn them on and off were located on the console, just under the pot on the mixing board that corresponded to the particular turntable. If youll look closely at the photo, youll notice a 45 rpm record is playing on the number 2 turntable, and another 45 rpm record is cued-up and ready to play on number 3.
About 75% percent of the music we played was on 45s, and the remainder, mostly oldies was on 33. To always ensure the turntable was on the correct speed (you cant believe how easy it was to forget to change the speed!) I always had number 1 set to 33 rpm, and numbers 2 and 3 to 45. I dont recall of ever starting a record on the wrong speed at KCEY, so my system worked for me.
Above the first turntable, and to the far left of the photo, about 75% of the way up, you can see a stack of records. The current playlist of 45 rpm records were contained in heavy paper sleeves, and housed in the rack at about a 30-degree angle which kept the record in the sleeve when it wasnt being played, yet provided easy access for the jock. Besides the current playlist, the rack contained each jocks weekly Pick of the Pickins. I will go into great detail in the chapter Format and Music when I get around to writing it.
To the right of the record bin, is the rack which contained the pre-recorded commercials that were the lifeblood of the station, recorded on carts. The carts for the intros and station jingles were stacked on top of the cart machines, and you could usually find them, if you were lucky. The sales had made it easy for us, as they had standardized the spots to either 30 or 60 seconds; the vast majority of spots were the 30 second version. This cart rack did not revolve, like a lazy Susan, as it was stationary. It was homemade, and painted the typical KCEY orange.
To those who arent familiar with carts, dj-jargon for cartridges, Ill talk a little bit about them. They were about the same size as an 8-track tape, the de-facto standard for boomboxes in 1975, and they looked similar on the outside, but thats where the similarity ended. Naturally they were built to broadcast standards, as they had to endure a lot of punishment from the jocks, and were frequently thrown against the wall during a temper tantrum! I guess they must have been constructed to mil-spec standards, as about the only way to break one of them was to throw it on the floor and stomp on it! The cars used for the 30-second spots had a 40-second loop of tape on it, and the 60-second carts had 70 seconds of tape on them. The carts would cue themselves up only a few seconds after the spot ended, so you could reuse the cart machine if you needed to, if there was a heavy load of commercials, which frequently happened during the holidays or the days ramping up to an election. KCEY also had a few carts in oddball times, such as 20 seconds, 120 seconds and 300 seconds. I managed to acquire a few of the 20-second carts that I would use on my show for drop-ins as Ive always been a fan of surprising the audience. More on that subject in another chapter
Taped to the wall, behind the cart machine, is a crude, hand-lettered sign of the local communities served by KCEY. Naturally, most of the towns were located in Stanisluas County, but we had quite a few listings in Tulolumne County, to the east, and a few in neighboring San Joaquin and Merced Counties. Every once in a while, you were supposed to say a line like KCEY, serving the BIG Valley and the town of Patterson or something similar. The Halls thought it made the listeners identify with us a local station, or something like that.
In the center of the photo is the mixing board, which was where everything came together in the KCEY control room. All audio peripherals were fed into the board, and all levels were adjusted, using pots, which are the large, round knobs seen in the photo of the board. The board is a Gates 10-channel broadcast mixing board, state of the art around 1965, but somewhat dated, although very functional, during my stay at KCEY. The board was painted in a gunmetal grey, with darker grey highlights, clearly seen in the photo. The 10th channel wasnt used, and the knob had been removed. I understood that the 10th channel fed the audio from the other 9 channels into the primitive compressor/limiter, which compressed the audio to the proper frequencies before being multiplexed to the phone line. Note from the single meter located at the center of the board that this was a monophonic mixing board, which was very typical for A.M. radio in the mid 1970s.
The pots were numbered, 1 to 9, from left to right, and were assigned as following:
#1: Microphone, the big ol Shure mike hung up in the upper center of the photo.
#2: Phone patch, which was seldom, if ever used. Reportedly, it was formally used for live news events, in conjunction with the defunct V.H.F. radio, but I was never used during my time at KCEY, and I didnt have a clue of how to use it.
#3: Turntable number 1; note the on/off switch below the pot
#4: Turntable number 2; note the on/off switch below the pot
#5: Turntable number 3; the back of the chair hides the on/off switch
#6: Cart machine #1, which is the bottom one in the stack of three
#7: Cart machine #2, which is the middle one in the stack
#8: Cart machine #3, the top cart machine
#9: Reel-to-Reel Decks: You could only operate one of them at a time, so there was a A/B switch to switch between decks. Creatively, you found ways to work around that limitation during times when tape decks were used for programming.
I honestly wish I could remember what the function of the many switches located above the pots, but my memory escapes me.
To the center of the board, and above it, is the big, Shure microphone, a direct product of the 1950s. Its mounted on a gooseneck, with its connecting cable wrapped around the gooseneck, and the arrangement allowed the dj to adjust the mike just about any way he wanted to. I always preferred the close mike technique, so I liked to adjust the mike so I was almost kissing it. I used the kiss the mike technique that one of my earliest mentors had taught me.
On the mixing board, just above the row of switches, the engineering staff had mounted a sort of continuous rack, where printed information could be displayed. In the photo, the material on the left is unidentified, but in the center there is a clear, plastic envelope that holds the latest weather. The book to the right contains public service announcements, station promos and the few commercials that were to be read by the dj.
The window directly behind the board and the mike opens to an unused studio, that at one time hosted on-air broadcasts, as evident by the piano and organ that were in the room. During my time at KCEY, this room wasnt used, and hadnt been used for broadcasting for many years. KCEY used it for storage as there were many cardboard boxes neatly stacked up along the walls that contained station records and other paperwork. Spare parts and broken equipment was also stored in this room.
Just above the window, to the left, look closely in the photo, and youll see the music format clock. This will be the subject of a complete chapter, as I plan to write many pages about the music that KCEY played, the format, and the format clock. Simply said, the clock was a circle, which represented an hour, divided into pie-shaped slices. Each slice was a time period corresponding to the time of the hour. For example, the KCEY Weathervane, which was the local weather report, was read at 00:15 after the hour, therefore there was a slice of the clock that reflected it. The KCEY Sports Scoreboard aired at 00:45, and was on the clock, as was the Mutual Network news on the bottom of the hour. The rest of the clock represented the music according to category, e.g. current, dj picks, newer oldies, oldlies, and very old oldies. Ill be talking in great detail about KCEYs clock in future chapters.
Every radio station that I ever worked at had a clock to some degree. Naturally, the clock was a closely guarded secret and would be removed even during a visit of a casual visitor. However, to the trained ear, it wasnt difficult to figure out a stations clock after listening to the station for a few hours. Many radio stations, particularly those who played rock music, had a slightly different clock according to the time of day, as it was reasoned that the older audience was watching TV in the evening, therefore a lot of Top-40 rock stations would slip in an album cut or two during evening and night time hours. KCEYs format was country, and the clock never changed.
The paper attached to the wall above the public service announcement book is the latest memo from management. The Halls were always very good communicators to the staff, and the doors to their offices, particularly Milts, were always open. The memos were about anything and everything, but mostly concerned station operations. Ill never forget a memo that was very general and directed toward the entire on-air staff, but in fact it was a very thinly-veiled memo aimed specifically at me. The subject of the memo addressed that you should be a good ambassador and representative of the station to listeners, attempt to play requests whenever possible, but not to encourage groupies. I got a laugh out of that. Pretty soon the memo sported all sorts of graffiti concerning some of my extracurricular activities.
You cant miss the large clock on the wall behind the stack of cart machines. Note that it reads 10:03 P.M., so between the record playing on the left and the time on the clock, this photo was taken while I was on the air. The clock had to be very accurate, down to the second, as we needed accurate time in order to back-time into the Mutual News at the bottom of the hour. Ill talk more about back-timing in another chapter.
Near the middle right hand side of the photo is the stack of 3, Sparta play-only cart machines. During the 1970s, many broadcast stations used Sparta machines as they were simple, reliable and less expensive than their chief rival, Harris. Like the turntables, each cart machine had a button below its pot on the board that you pressed to start a cart. The switches were fast, reliable and absolutely silent, so you could start a cart when you were talking on the air, and the listeners wouldnt hear a click. Some djs were of the old school and preferred to press the button on the front of the deck; you had that option if you wanted. Three cart machines were adequate, but a fourth would have been much better, as even with three machines, occasionally you had to do some juggling of the carts.
As Ive mentioned before, KCEY did not have any of their music on cart, like a lot of radio stations did. During my spare time, I dubbed a couple dozen songs, mostly oldies onto cart, and kept a few of them handy, in case I forgot to cue up a record, or I was just lazy. I also managed to dub onto reel-to-reel tape a few mini-programs where I would play several songs, and make announcements as if I was live on the air. Due to the constraints of our format clock, about the longest segment I could air would be about four songs, and then I could only play these late at night when the boss wasnt listening and the spot load was light. I made these tapes so I could have a few extra minutes in case something came up, or if I just was bored.
Note the stack of carts on top of the stack of cart machines. Those are station jingles and the intros to the Weathervane and Sports Scoreboard. There really wasnt an official place to store these jingles, so they ended up on top of the cart machines. I guess that was as good of a place as any to store them.
At the base of the bottom cart machine are a stack of 5 carts. Most djs, myself included, would pull their spots from the cart rack and stack them up in the order that they were called for on the program log. Depending on the spot load, you would pull your spots by the half hour, or the hour. Naturally, this activity was performed when I record was playing. Looking at the photo there are only 5 carts and the clock says that its only 3 minutes past the top of the hour; I would guess that I only had 5 spots during the 10 11:00 P.M. hour. In fact it could be the remaining spots until station sign-off time at midnight, as I liked to pull carts as far in advance as possible.
The piece of paper on the desk, with the pen is the program log. KCEYs secretary, Terry Theis, a.k.a. June Day was responsible for putting in the spots in the time slot that the client had paid for, and the log entry gave the spots name and the number of the cart, which was stored in the cart rack, to the left. After the spot was played, the dj would check it off and write in the time the spot was aired. The spots were typed in the log by Terry, using the IBM Selectric typewrite at her desk, but the jocks would check off the logs using a ball-point pen. More on the program log in another chapter.
Just to the right of the carts, note the ash tray with a pipe resting on it. Today, how many workplaces allow you to smoke? Throwing all health concerns aside, in todays computerized, microprocessor-dominated, electronic world, can you imagine smoking in a modern radio station control room? In KCEYs control room, the cart machines were transistorized, but all other equipment utilized vacuum tubes. By the way, I quit smoking for good in 1982.
You cant really see it, but there is a ¼ headphone jack on the right side of the vertical surface, where wed plug in our headphones. I always preferred the smaller, lightweight mono headsets, as they were compact and easy to get on and off. It seemed like I was always forgetting to put my headphones on until the last minute, and I even went on-air a few times without my headphones.
Number three turntable appears to the right of the photo. I always kept the speed at 45 rpm, so Id never start a record at the wrong speed.
In the extreme lower right of the photo, there are two stacks of 45 rpm records, in their sleeves. These are oldies that I had pulled from the record library to play, and I used to sort them out by time, as it always seemed that I needed a record of short duration as I was back-timing into the news at the bottom of the hour. The stack of records to the left are under 2:10, the ones to the right are longer. In 1975, it wasnt hard to find country records that were quite short, as the era of the 3-minute country song was just beginning. More on the format and the music in another chapter
Thats it, a tour of the KCEY control room, circa April, 1975.
Photo 3
KCEYs production studio. I didnt spend nearly as much time here as I did in the control room, so I cant provide as many details.
The production studio was located next to the control room, and was separated only by a door. Supposedly, the production studio could be pressed into action as the control room, in the event of a catastrophic failure of the control room, which never happened in the years that I was employed by KCEY. Everybody said it was just a matter of grabbing records, commercials, moving next door, and throwing a switch that was in the control room. However, with only two turntables, two reel-to-reel tape decks and two cart machines, it would have been interesting to be forced to broadcast from the production studio.
The mixing board was in-house-made; a nice way to say homemade, by a previous engineer who I never met and never even knew his name. That large box sitting on top of the board, on the right-hand side is a phone patch, but I never had the opportunity to use it, so I cant provide details of its operation.

Award-winning writer and filmmaker Matt Tyrnauer is fascinated with process.
It's a fascination that's evident throughout much of his work, from his many Vanity Fair pieces and profiles to his documentaries, among them the 2008 feature Valentino: The Last Empire, an intimate portrait of the esteemed haute couturier that went on to become one of the highest-grossing documentaries of 2010.
Keeping with the theme is his latest film, Jean Nouvel: Reflections, a stunning, pensive study in process. Running just 15 minutes, the documentary chronicles the career of renowned Pritzker Prize–winning French architect Jean Nouvel through the lens of his associates, his work—the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris, the Doha Tower and the National Museum of Qatar, the Louvre Abu Dhabi, New York City's 53W53—and the master himself, capturing him in various stages of his methodical design process.
For Tyrnauer, any opportunity to get inside an artist's mind makes for a compelling narrative. Architectural Digest caught up with the filmmaker, a self-proclaimed "architecture groupie," at the celebration of the film's world premiere at the New York Film Festival this past week to discuss the new documentary and his love for architecture, process, and Jean Nouvel.
Architectural Digest: Why did you decide to make a documentary about Jean Nouvel?
Matt Tyrnauer: I'd never made a pure architecture film before. I think Jean is a master who is about to hit that moment when architects cross over from being stars to superstars and potentially immortal superstars. The Louvre Abu Dhabi is a building that will be the level of Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Bilbao. I think it's going to be the Bilbao of the next generation. The opportunity to follow him and look at his process on the eve of the Louvre opening was an irresistible temptation for me.
AD: What did you learn about the architect and his process during the making of the film?
MT: I saw how contemplative he is. When you're at that level and you're running a global firm and you're one of the few masters, you're really a conceptualist. One of the things I was delighted to discover was that Jean, after he wakes up in the morning, goes back to bed and he visualizes. And that's where he really conceptualizes and designs. I was amazed to hear that that's the departure point for his process. He has this ritual where he gets in bed, pulls the cover over his head, puts an eyeshade on, and then thinks and visualizes. That is the beginning of the master at work.
AD: What was the first Nouvel structure you recall seeing?
MT: The Arab Institute [in Paris]. I went to see it when I was in college. It was the 1990s, so it wasn't that old, and I went specifically to see it. That was my architecture-nerd period, and I thought it was amazing—that's where I found out who Jean Nouvel was.
AD: In the film Nouvel discusses the importance of framing—in cinema, photography, architecture—and he's known for using light in big ways in his works. Did that influence the way you approached the film? Did you feel you had to live up to a certain expectation, knowing Nouvel's eye and level of awareness and precision for lighting, visual impact, framing, etc.?
MT: I felt there was pressure because obviously we're dealing with a perfectionist who makes visual objects, and I was sure he would care about how we showed them. So the most important decision in making the film was how we were going to photograph the buildings. I decided to do a kind of rather basic but elegant photography that was not too fancy. I thought it would be good to do something that was tantamount to Ezra Stohler on film, capturing [the buildings] in an almost still-photography way but with slight movement and more life. It's supposed to be quiet, not flashy, just letting the buildings speak for themselves. Also, Jean's works are very graphic, so there was a real opportunity if the camera wasn't moving around too much to appreciate their graphicness. And light was the next most important thing. His buildings are light machines so capturing that with the camera was important.

Das Haus Tour is coming to Denver!
fuentesdesign is excited to welcome the Das Haus tour, scheduled to be in Denver October 2012.
According to the tour: 'Das Haus is a traveling pavilion, a North American tour about advanced technologies for home construction and solar energy use. The purpose – to share German innovations that have achieved sustainable construction and operational energy savings. Attendees represent leading organizations and businesses in building materials, architecture, engineering, renewable energy and energy efficiency businesses, universities, and public officials…
The hands on format includes:
- An enclosed room built to Passive House standards featuring a relatively thin yet superinsulated envelope, heat recovery ventilation and cooling, and triple–pane windows that optimize solar heat gain while minimizing heat loss. Stepping into the room instantly communicates the superior indoor comfort the Passive House Standard is known for.
- Solar energy collection systems which help to power the pavilion, including roof modules featuring state–of–the–art thin film CIS photovoltaics, and solar capturing façade elements which generate power while providing additional insulation benefits.
- Exhibitive wall construction systems representing a wide range of insulation techniques and materials designed to resist thermal conductivity, avoid thermal bridging, and maximize year–round indoor comfort."

fuentesdesign utilizes THERM to evaluate heat transfer in building assemblies.
Utilizing thermal modeling (THERM) of wall assemblies, fuentesdesign gains bettering understanding of thermal performance. THERM, a computer based program developed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory can be used to evaluate two-dimensional heat transfer in building components including windows/doors, walls, foundations and roofs. Beyond evaluating energy efficiency an understanding of heat-transfer is fundamental to understanding problems related to condensation, moisture damage, and structural integrity (LBNL).
Below, isotherms used to determine the transfer of heat through a glulam window sill in a fuentesdesign mountain home.
fuentesdesign Returns from International Passive House Days in France.
It was great to see some passive house projects in action – but like the US, passive house is relatively new to France, with only a handful of projects compared to neighboring countries (esp. Germany and Austria) where energy costs are higher. Considering this context, it was interesting to hear stories of struggles to get the builder to understand the air sealing details, finding affordable materials, getting financing, and getting projects approved through local building and zoning codes.

People keep on getting smarter. It used to be really easy to pull a huge prank. One time in 1824, a dude claimed Manhatten was sinking and he was going to saw it off and flip it around. EVERYONE BELIEVED HIM! They even had a ground breaking ceremony. You just can't get away with stuff like that any more in the real world. You have to take it to the internet where everyone still believes everything. Here are the funniest internet hoaxes.
This was a hoax that was flaoting around a few weeks ago. An article claimed that the tv show Friends was going to brought back for a brand new season. People lost it. My Facebook timeline was filled with Friends fans who were acting like they had just won the lottery. It was believable because NBC is doing so poorly in the ratings war that it seemed like they would try a stunt like this. Honestly, the way this thing blew up, I think NBC should actually consider doing it. A new season of Friends would float the network for at least another 10 years of bad business decisions.
I've seen this hoax show up more than any other hoax on this list and it cracks me up every time. I don't know why anyone would think that forwarding an e-mail or sharing a Facebook status will get Bill Gates to give you a dump truck of money. The thing about this one is that Bill Gates really could give someone a dump truck full of money if he wanted to. Unfortunately, he's not the fun kind of billionaire. He spends all of his money on feeding people and curing dumb diseases.
This is one of the earliest internet hoaxes. It was around in the late 80's when the itnernet was still just a series of tubes. Document 12-571-3570 was a fake NASA study on what positions were best for doin' it in space. I don't know why anyone believed this. Everyone knows that the best doin' it position in space in the Space Jam.
I think people believed this because they wanted so badly for it to be true. This was a dog that was big enough for a full grown adult to saddle and ride. Of course, riding a dog would be an incredibly inefficient means of transportation. He'd want to stop every two minutes to sniff something and you definitely don't want to be around him when he starts to get "a hunch" as my grandma would say.
There was a photo going around of a McDonald's sign that claimed there was an additional fee for African-American customers. It got spread around so much that McDonald's released an official statement about how they are committed to diversity. I don't know why every one got so worked up about it. I saw an even more offensive real sign at McDonald's the other day. I only get 1 ketchup per item?!?!?!! When I go to McDonald's, I want to drench my fries in red sugar sauce. I feel like they need to take down those signs and issue an apology to Type 2 Diabetes.
This website is still up and they apparently get hate mail almost every day from animal lovers who think that the web site is real. I'm glad it's not real because $13k isn't really that much money. I would gladly trade in my car and take out a loan to get a pet tiger. I mostly just want it so I could walk it around my neighborhood at night and not feel terrified.
There have been tons of celebrity death hoaxes, but none of them spread like the wildfire that was the Jeff Goldblum death hoax. It was claimed that he fell off of a cliff in New Zealand while filming a movie. Jeffie G showed up on The Colbert Report alive and well to refute the claim. I was mostly just terrified that I was going to have to recast my script for Earth Girls Are Easy 2: Secret Of The Ooze.
This hoax sounds super scary the first time you read it. It's a frightening sounding chemical and it's in everything! Of course, Dihydrogen monoxide is just plain water, the source of all life on the planet. Either way, I still think water should be banned. MOUNTAIN DEW FOREVERRRRR!!!!!!!111
There were internet hoaxes before this one, but this was the first really big internet hoax. It was claimed that Microsoft was going to purchase the Roman Catholic Church. It's too bad this isn't true cause then my mom would actually be proud of me for spending an entire day playing XBox.
A few weeks ago, a hacker group got in to the Twitter account of E! Online and posted that they had an exclusive story about Justin Bieber being secretly gay. Of course, the internet exploded. That's just ridiculous. Everybody knows that Justin Bieber is secretly a hot lady.

Chinese ambassador warns relations with UK at crossroads
LONDON – China's ambassador to Britain has warned relations are at a crossroads following the new government's decision to delay a decision on the Hinkley Point nuclear project.
In an article for the Financial Times on Tuesday, Liu Xiaoming made a direct link between the future of relations and the fate of the 18-billion pound ($23 billion) project, describing ties as being at a "crucial historical juncture." The ambassador said he hoped the U.K. will "keep its door open" to China.
Prime Minister Theresa May stalled the deal earlier this year in order to review the project financed by a Chinese nuclear power provider and French energy giant EDF.
The delay threw into doubt the "golden era" of ties proclaimed by Chinese leader Xi Jinping during a visit to Britain last year.

- Speak with Lightkix Eyesfixed.
- The wandering minstrel craves tales of your adventures inside the steel colossus to rouse his muse once more.
- It seems word of your recent exploits has reached Revenant's Toll, and the minstrel is desperate to hear your firsthand account. Your story moves the inspiration-starved bard to song, and he delivers a reasonably faithful retelling of your toils and triumphs within Alexander. The experience fills you with a desire to discuss the battles of your past with someone familiar. Walk along the banks of the Thaliak River and reminisce on your adventures with Lightkix.
- For reasons you cannot well explain, it would seem you are now able to relive your foray into Midas. Peer into the past, knowing that considered retrospection can often grant valuable insight into the present─and occasionally more tangible rewards.

General Discussion
List / Discriptions for EVERY prestige class in the world of Azeroth.
Join date
Subject: List / Discriptions for EVERY prestige class in the world of Azeroth.
Wed Apr 29, 2009 7:16 pm
Assassin: Even more skilled in the art of death, assassins are those few who have gone on to perfect the arts of murder to an incredibly fine degree. So deadly are the cold-hearted killers that are beyond the ideas of allegiance and devotion to anything more than the next challenging kill.
Beastmaster: The beastmaster is a wilderness warrior who has developed an uncanny rappore with animals. Though truly fearsome in battle, the beastmaster can be quite gentle when dealing with creatures of the wild. A beastmaster typically travels with one or more animal companions who show incredible loyalty to their humanoid friend. Though a beastmaster prefers to spend time in the wild with his animal companions, he is not averse to venturing into civilized lands when the need arises. As long as animals may be found where he travels, the beastmaster will feel at home.
Berserker: Rage rests within the heart of the orc and troll races. Like some barely contained beast ready to tear its way out. For many, this rage allows them to face even the most dangerous of foes and survive. Their innate ability to hold on to this energy and ride it through the waves of battle has made the Horde a feared and respected force. Yet some orcs and trolls descend even deeper in this rage, harnessing it as often as they can, fighting on without care for themselves and showing no mercy to those in their paths. These are berserkers.
Duelist: A puissant skill with a weapon, a keen intellect and a wicked wit all comprise the essentials of a duelist. Rare among the Horde, but often encountered swaggering along the promenades of human and goblin coastal cities, the duelist is a skilled sword fighter capable of amazing feats in battle. Relying on an almost supernatural skill with her weapons, the duelist is a welcome asset to any group.
Elven Ranger: The elven ranger is an elite wilderness warrior whose skills are unique to the elven race. These skills are rooted in ancient tradition, from even before the time of Queen Azshara, and survive in cultures of both High Elves, and Night Elves. Among modern High Elves, the elven ranger is known as just that, but among the night elves the elven rangers are called by their ancient title: sentinels. The elven rangers of both races are elite archers and wilderness skirmishers capable of running through rugged terrain to make impossible shots that appear fluid and natural.
Fel-sworn: The servents of the Burning Legion are a myriad of darkly motivated men and women, servants of some demonic will. Most of those who have become slaves to the Burning Legion have done so by following mystical paths that are not only perilous for one's body, but also for one's soul. Fel-sworns are those who have begun to transform due to their exposure to the energies of the Burning Legion. Their bodies have warped and twisted to take on a new shape as their souls become more and more evil. While they might start out resembling normal members of their race, their demonic features develop until they are terrifying beings, half humanoid and half demon.
Gladiator: A gladiator has devoted himself to the mastery of close combat. This single-minded devotion to weaponry and fighting styles makes him a feared enemy to those who cross him and a valued ally to those who manage to befriend him. Though gladiators practice with as many weapons as possible, each chooses a single weapon and strives to master it until it becomes an extension of his being and allows him to cut a bloody swath through his foes. Among the Horde, gladiators are known as blademasters.
Infiltrator: Infiltrators are a select group tasked with protecting the Alliance, whether from the attacks of the Horde or by those who would attempt to shatter it from within by manipulating internal rivalries. The infiltrator is a manipulator, a charmer and a spy who wears his weapons hidden beneath fine clothing as she dives into the dark waters of politics, diplomacy and intrigue.
Mounted Warrior: Mounted warriors are formidable melee combatants on their own, yet they are only half complete. When they climb atop beasts and ride them onto the battlefield, mounted warriors become truly fearsome foes, mount and rider working together in deadly concert. Among humans and high elves, mounted warriors are known as knights, while for the night elves a mounted warrior is called a huntress. Among orcs, a mounted warrior is known as a raider.
Death Knight: When Prince Arthas gave himself over to Frostmourne, he became Ner'zhul's first death knight, sworn to the Scourge and invested with dark powers to carry out its will. Since then, paladin warriors who accede to the call of the Scourge and make a pact to serve the Lich King receive a vampiric runeblade specially crafted for them and are anointed by Ner'zhul as one of his death knights. Thus the Lich King fashions his corrupted paladins: his greatest champions – licing or undead – in his campaign to conquer all of Azeroth.
Demon Hunter: Demon hunters are Blood elf, night elf, and human warriors who have pledged their lives to fighting evil by using its own powers against it. Though many among the night elves and the Alliance fear the demon hunters and their pact with darkness, all know that the demon hunters and their demonically-charged warblades have played an important role in combating what remains of the Burning Legion. To become a demon hunter, a hero must find a demon hunter who is willing to lead her through a series of complex rituals. These rituals involve capturing a demon and sacrificing it in order to bind a portion of its spirit inside the hero. The ritual also requires that the hero burn out her eyes with a magically-heated blade in order to contain the demon spirit.
Dwarven Avatar: The discovery of their titan heritage changed the Ironforge dwarves forever. The dwarves have embraced this new knowledge and delved deep inside themselves in search of hidden power left there by their creators. Most have discovered the ability to turn their flesh to stone for limit periods, but few have persisted to unlock further secrets --- though none have yet discovered what the titans intended them to do with their abilities.
Marksman: While some warriors still argue in favor of elegance of the sword or the flexibility of the longbow, there are others who have embraced firearms as their weapon of choice. Studying the techniques of the dwarves, these soldiers craft their own weapons and hone their aim until they are capable of incredible feats of speed and accuracy.
Primal: In battle, some warriors fight as though possessed. . . while others truly are. Primals are those warriors who revel in their beastial rage and give into it completely. As they slowly take on an increasingly beast-like appearance, they also gain powerful and violent new abilities.
Warmage: Warmages are arcane spellcasters who accompany soldiers into the heart of battle. The generations of warfare on Azeroth have given the warmages time to hone the useful spells into simple and secret rituals, called "battlemagics," which are passed from one warmage to another.
Windrider: Windriders are the knights of the sky, riding their flying mounts into combat .With time and experience, rider and mount move in a graceful unison that makes them increasingly formidable opponents.
Argent Dawn Templar: Argent Dawn Templars, often called simply templars, are devoted followers of the Holy Light who have chosen to cast away the traditions of the past to find the best ways possible to fight the growing forces of darkness in the world. Like paladins, argent dawn templars often oppose demons and undead, but templars learn to use the Holy Light to strike against other forms of evil with equal potency. To aid the seemingly impossible struggles against the Burning Legion, the templars study all forms of combat; and they find powerful and unique uses for the Holy Light. These unique abilities carry a price, however: As an Argent Dawn Templar delves deeper into studies of the Light, she abandons her old teachings and connections to the world. Many templars sacrifice much of their wealth in their continuing battle against the forces of darkness in the world, but the greatest are more greatly transformed: Former paladins cast off their plate armor or even abandon their old powers in favor of the new secrets they uncover. Some observers claim that the eldest templars require such sacrifices from their disciples; others believe that the secrets these knights discover somehow drives them away from their former lives and powers. Those few who know of the argent dawn templars speak of strange and mysterious rituals the knights perform in search of new and greater powers. While a few of the Church of the Holy Light's most traditional paladins and priests condemn this unusual behavior, none can dispute the templars' effectiveness. Rumors abound of knights powerful enough to shield themselves from any form of harm, or to banish a servant of the Burning Legion from Azeroth in a single strike.
Enchanter: The creation of a magic item is a difficult and time-consuming procedure that is mentally and physically draining. The craftsperson must put a little of himself into every magically empowered item he produces, leaving him ever so slightly diminished from his efforts. Some have sought an alternative to this methor: the path of the enchanter. Enchanters learn secret ways to seize the arcane or divine power imbued within every magic item, drawing it into themselves as the item is destroyed. They then redirect this raw energy into an existing item through the use of mystical formulas only they can hope to understand.
Ley Walker: It is an occult truth, known to all who study the ways of magic and spellcraft, that great lines of power crisscross the lands of Azeroth. These lines of magic are often harnessed for mighty magical purposes, from the creation of moonwells to the powerful glowing dome in Dalaran. It is simply assumed that those with power eventually must seek out one of these sites. But those who study the mysteries of the ley lines discover something more. Certainly, there are lines of power that run across the land in a select few areas, but these are not the only lines --- simply the most obvious. If these thick, corded ropes of power, there are also tiny, web-thin threads that run between these great ley lines, connecting them in a vast net of pulsing, subtle power. The ley walker is an arcanist who has discovered this fact, and seeks to harness the power of these threads. A ley walker is aware that, every moment of every day, these threads permeate all things, passing through, around, above and below all things, carrying magical energy from the Well of Eternity to all things in the world. With diligent study and practice, ley walkers sense these powers. The sorcerous feats which these men and women are capable are impressive. They are able to draw upon the skein of power to augment their spells, tap into this web to maintain spells past their normal durations, to heal themselves, and to protect their allies from magic.
Steam Warrior: Some were born to steam, gifted with the measures of mechanics and systems, and possessed with an unquenchable thirst for invention. Among those inventors are individuals who push their creations to the limits of technology, testing them in battle, and relying on them for their survival. These are the steam warriors.
Ace: The saying goes: Any tinker can pilot a vehicle, but only the truly gifted can be a vehicle. The thrill of high-flying combat sings to a particularly few foolhardy types, who forgo all worldy pursuits to become one with their vehicles, flying barons of destruction. These few brave exemplary souls are known as aces.

Dead Shot: The dead shot is the hidden warrior, one part patience and three parts skill. She is the one who serves as a line of defense, a patient assassin, or a failsafe in case a tense displomatic meeting goes poorly. She is a specialized assassin, able to slay with one painstaking shot from a rifle or crossbow.
Exemplar: Battlefields are bloody places, but they are also the proving grounds of heroes. Among the many legendary feats of bravery are the deeds of exemplars: men and women who strike fear into the hearts of their enemies through intimidation and demoralization. They also inspire courage in their allies, holding their banners high and charging into battle, shouting encouragement to those who ride beside them.
Gunman: The gunman is a knight on the cutting edge of weapons development. He takes the newest technological inventions, and through a combination of innate skill and careful study, pushes them beyond the limits their creators imagines. While some warriors favor the sword or the axe or the bow, the gunman favors guns --- pistols, rifles, blunderbusses, he is adept at them all. He is capable of performing amazing stunts with his firearms that leave others staring with wide eyes.
Mountain King: The most respected and revered of the Ironforge dwarves' warriors, mountain kings represent might champions of their race. While some Ironforge dwarves are enamored of the new firearms, and others unlock the secrets of their titan heritage, mountain kings continue a legacy that has extended for millennia. This is a legacy of beer, blood, booze, and thunder, of red-glinting axes and crushing hammers. It is a legacy continued by some of Ironforge's most renowned heroes, including Muradin Bronzebeard, the believed-to-be deceased brother of King Magni of Ironforge.
Sapper: KABOOM! If ever a sound was associated with a particular class, it's this one. Quite simply, sappers love to blow things up. However, unlike many goblin tinkers, they don't necessarily like the idea of killing themselves in the process. No, to a sapper, the fiery blast of a good explosion is a form of art unto itself. Some spend a great deal of their lives trying to find new and interesting ways to generate beautiful, classy explosions. Sappers are experts in all sorts of explosive devices, from small firecrackers to powerful seaforium charges capable of blowing holes in thick castle walls. Even when they don't have a prepared explosive available, a good sapper can put one together out of whatever natural materials he can find lying around.
Savagekin: The most primal of druids, savagekin bear an ancient but obscure legacy. Whereas some druids seek to command nature or bond with it, the savagekin surrenders herself to the natural world, abandoning much of her humanity to live with the beasts. Those who adopt this role may find they pay a steep price for power. Savagekin are druids who spend most of their time in animal form. They travel in packs with their fellow beasts. As animals they gain strength and finesse, but come close to becoming irreversibly feral. Savagekin constantly battle the inner beasts that threaten to consume them, clinging to their last vestiges of sentience.
Sister of Steel: In this time of conflict, members of both genders take up sword and axe and shield and march to the frontlines. However, due to long tradition, more men than women become soldiers. As conflicts continue, men become noticeably scarcer in Stormwind, Ironforge, and other Alliance cities. More and more, women perform the tasks traditionally reserved for men, such as working at the forge. The sisters of steel are just such a group of female blacksmiths.
Ursa Totemic: Ursa totemics are the biggest, meanest and most feral of furbolgs. They tower above humans and orcs, and can snap elven necks with single paw swipes. They are immensely strong and tough, and focus on improving their natural, bearlike natures. They disembowel dragons with their claws and crush small creatures that come within their grasp. These creatures achieve a higher level of power and feral grace; many believe that ursa totemics are infused with the power of the twin bear demigods: Ursoc and Ursol.
Warden: Wardens are the night elves' special police force. They are stealthy and mystical individuals, using their shadow abilities in ways much different than the militant Sentinels. Wardens are often assassins, saboteurs, jailers and bounty hunters. They are adept at entering and exiting combat quickly and have a number of attacks that can quickly disable their opponents. Many wardens are women, though not all of them. Wardens dress in dark colors and favor cloaks, which move about them like shadows to further hide their presence. Wardens are deadly melee combatants, able to bring their opponents to their knees with a few quick attacks, then teleport to safety.
Brewmaster: Brewmasters travel the world in search for new and exotic ingredients and recipes. These affable yet deadly warriors practice a unique combination of healing arts and martial skill. With their knowledge of alchemy, potion making and brewery, brewmasters create superb ales and liquors that are welcome at any adventurer's table either before or after a battle. Brewmasters practice a unique fighting style. They combine physical finesse and strength with the appearance of being drunk, stumbling apparently at random. When they sway to avoid a blow or swing a wild fist, their proficiency appears accidental.
Dragonsworn: For centuries, the great dragonflights have noted the potential of younger races. In a few select cases, they choose a creature of another race to be one of a select few with the privilege of directly serving a dragon or an entire group of dragons. Such devotees dedicate their lives to the protection and service of their dragonflights, and reap the benefits of the great knowledge and power that their draconic masters share. Rumors say that the first dragonsworn were the forefathers of the dragonspawn race. This is, of course, just a rumor.
High Divinist: High divinists are elite divine spellcasters. Every priest desires to attain the title of high divinist. To reach this level of magical understanding is to, in a small way, transcend mortal existence. As they gain power, divine spellcasters gradually see more and more of the fundamental nature of their magic. They cast greater spells that draw more intense facets of their faith. Such understanding comes to all priests eventually, but some move beyond these tokens to true revelation. These are high divinists, living icons of the entities or beliefs they represent.
Naga Anomoly: Naga are a testament to the power of arcane energy gone awry. Once beautiful kaldorei, a curse warped them into the naga. As they were permanently altered, so was the world --- the Well of Eternity imploded and brought the surrounding land crashing to the seafloor. While the Well wass destroyed, its power was not --- it left behind residual energies that wrought changes on the newly-born naga. In some naga, the residual power wreaks even greater changes. Some naga are barely recognizable as related to their cousins. They may grow enormous, unable to enter normal naga buildings. Often their powers are reminiscent of the sea creatures with which they dwell: Some sprout squidlike tentacles and can foil their enemies with clouds of ink; others develop urchinlike spines tipped with deadly poison. These naga are anomalies, and are some of the strangest creatures in a strange race.
Subversive: Subversives are militant defenders of the wild who use guerilla tactics and sabotage to safeguard the land. While their methods may be morally questionable, subversives dedicate their lives to defending nature and its inhabitants. They believe that Azeroth's welfare and survival depend on the state of the wilderness and the creatures populating it. When nature is destabilized, everything in the world is thrown into anarchy --- and everyone suffers.
Scarlet Battle Mage: Battle magi are among the rarest of their order and are highly respected. The overwhelming majority of battle magi are trained in Tyr's Hand and the newly founded Scarlet Monastery, and then sent to the locations where they are most needed. While the Scarlet Crusade opposes both the Forsaken and the Scourge, battle magi are typically assigned to deal with the latter. Since normal spells and swords are typically ineffective against the Scourge, Scarlet battle magi focus their studies on fire magic. While most of their spells are designed to destroy large groups of weak monsters, battle magi also learn to empower their weapons, knowing that situations arise where ranged magic might fail. Overall, Scarlet battle magi are versatile, and that quality makes them feared by their enemies --- and the rest of the world.
Scarlet Inquisitor: Inquisitors are the reason that even the dead have learned to fear the Scarlet Crusade. These former priests and healers, once dedicated to aiding the wounded, have turned their training in the Holy Light to a more devious end --- Torturing a captured subject without allowing the prisoner the luxury of death. For this reason, inquisitors are given high authority within their own organization --- and are feared by their own people as much as their enemies. In spite of their title, inquisitors do not always torture simply to extract information --- many enjoy inflicting pain, and that quality makes them dangerous in combat.
Vindicator: While they may come from any race or culture, all vindicators share one thing in common: They harbor an unwavering desire to bring retribution upon those they deem deserving of punishment. Vindicators, however, need to have personally witnessed or otherwise hold irrefutable proof of the wrongs they are trying to right. Fueled by deep hatred --- which usually comes from the loss of a loved one, the witnessing of horrible crim or injustice, or sometimes great personal suffering experienced at some point in the past --- Vindicators travel the world to punish those who have harmed others. Stern and humorless loners, vindicators are not the easiest characters to befriend, but once they call someone a comrade, they go to great lengths to protect --- or avenge --- him. Driven by the need to bring what they call justice upon their enemies, vindicators sometimes appear to be merciless zealots who would risk their lives and those of their friends to seek retribution. They may be intense and focused, but despite their ill-reputed --- and seldom understood --- ideas of what is right and wrong.
Bone Crusher: This roaring giant wades through his enemies, his foes unable to stop him. He does not even need weapons; his fists are enough. Arrows and blades bounce off his impervious hide, as he simply ignores any attack aimed at him. Each blow sends his opponents flying into the air. He is a bone crusher. Bone crushers are mostly orcs and dwarves who thrive on pain (their own and others) and focus on the purity of combat. Already confident in just how powerful they are, a bone crusher trains to become a living, unstoppable force. Bone crushers use their heads in combat, literally. No brains needed here. Indeed, some bone crushers claim that they enter an almost meditative state in combat, focused on the smoot motion of their muscles, the speed of their reflexes, noting (occasionally) the blades that bite their flesh, but feeling nothing from them.

Dark Ranger: When Sylvanas Windrunner, Banshee Queen of the Forsaken, regained her physical body, she realized that the natural world would never respond to her wishes again. Angered by this development, she turned to arts that were becoming more and more natural to her: necromancy. She then altered her elven ranger teachings into a new form. Thus the dark rangers were born. Dark rangers are similar to their elf cousins, but focus on shadowcraft more than nature. Dark rangers are silent and invisible stalkers of the shadows, felling unsuspecting opponents with a single arrow. Dark rangers still favor the bow as the ultimate weapon, using the same arts that Quel'Thalas taught for millennia. Their spells work with manipulating the essences of life and death, as well as various horrible curses and mind-enslaving abilities. Dark rangers are found only among the Forsaken. No other race has the elves' history coupled with the personal knowledge of shadows to learn the arts of a dark ranger. In fact, many dark rangers refuse to teach their arts to anyone who wasn't a former elf. While these rangers have slackened their restrictions some, most dark rangers were once elves.
Hexer: All shaman and witch doctors know of ways to invoke spirits to do their bidding. The hexer takes this craft to a new level, calling the wrath of spirits down upon his enemies. With a dance and a chant, he weakens and debilitates his foes. If a particular enemy becomes troublesome, he can bind a hostile spirit into an idol, delivering a permanent curse. Hexers attract spirits to do their bidding through the use of music, chants, dances, and other types of performance. Therefore, a high performance skill is desirable for this prestige class. The idols a hexer creates usually take the form of carvings or other tpes of figures, so some ability to craft is also necessary. The typical hexer is a stereotypical voodoo priest.
Lightslayer: A shadow in the night, the lightslayer moves with the sound of a whisper to extinguish light wherever she finds it --- specifically, she extinguishes the followers of the Holy Light. The lightslayer embraces the teachings of the Forgotten Shadow and developes her personal power by slaying enemies who stand in the light. Some consider lightslayers the dark mirror of the Scarlet Crusade, but in truth the two organizations have little in common. The Scarlet Crusade possesses a firm hierarchy; their fanaticism is orderly and focused. Lightslayers, on the other hand, usually work alone. They make use of stealth, hit-and-run tactics, and the element of surprise. The only strong similarity between the two groups is the dedicated zeal with which both orders pursue their goals.
Plagueshifter: After long and careful deliberation, the Horde formed a new order of druids, the plagueshifters, who were charged with reclaiming the Plaguelands and other stricken areas for the Horde. Plagueshifters fill a specialized role, one typically taken by tauren druids, who are willing to leave Kalimdor and walk in far lands. To become a plagueshifter, one must risk exposure to the deadliest diseases and poisons, and learn to master them. It's a dangerous profession, but just as the mastery of sharp steel has its rewards, so too does the victory over the most insidious enemies of the natural world.
Potion Doc: The potion doc takes brewing and alchemy to a different level, operating in a different way than a basic alchemist or witch doctor. She combines science and magic in her unique art. She knows how to overcome the restrictions inherit to potion-making, and can create potions --- bubbling, unstable concoctions that fizzle and spit vapors --- that contain powerful magicks. Perhaps she is best known for brewing potion bombs --- toss one of these beakers and watch the explosions. She can put together potions with little effort or cost on her own part, and can even do so on the fly, with just a few seconds of preparation.
Pyremaster: Orcs burn their dead. In a world filled with magic, magic insinuates itself in ritual. Founded in the mysteries of certain cults on Draenor, the pyremaster is the enactor of ritual. This funerary priest guides the dead through fire, through loss of flesh, so their naked spirits may conquer the elements; in order to protect his duties (and his person), he commands both bone and fire.
Shadow Ascendants: The Forgotten Shadow is a powerful religion that sweeps through the Forsaken. A devotee may throw off the shackles of her zombielike body, becoming one with the Shadow. Those who succeed become shadow ascendants. As the Forsaken undertakes her journey, many changes manifest. The Forsaken's skin darkens, and shadows cling to her body. Her features blur and become indistinct, almost as if they were melting away. The ascendant becomes more sensitive to light, preferring to stay in darkness. Later, the air becomes cold around the ascendant. Her voice echoes, as if she speaks both words and thoughts. The ascendant becomes one with darkness and shadows, and she feels her emotions grow colder and darker as she continues down this path. At the culmination of this path, the ascendant's body fades, and she becomes a living shadow.
Shadow Hunter: As they grow in experience, the shadow hunters' bond with the Loa strengthens and their connection to these powerful voodoo spirits eventually gives them the ability to curse and heal at a whim. Brave practitioners of rituals and dark rites, shadow hunters tread the cautious line between darkness and light. Often misunderstood but always respected by those who have witnessed their eerie powers, shadow hunters rely on faith in the Loa and the ability to communicate with them. Through the magic of prayer and ritual, a shadow hunter spends a lot of time maintaining the particular relationship he shares with the Loa.
Spirit Champion: A spirit champion is a mighty warrior who embraces the spirits, to assist him in his battles. He strengthens his spiritual connection until he can feel the spirits flowing within his body and thoughts, strengthening his arms and quickening his mind. Whispered fragments impart insight into battle as ancestors speak of ways to overcome most foes. The spirit champion ceases to fight for his own reasons; he battles to honor the spirits and further their wishes. Often, these wishes coincide with his own, but occasionally the spirit champion embarks on a path for reasons that are unclear to him. He does so faithfully, trusting in the spirits to point him in the right direction. The spirit champion is a deadly melee combatant. His spiritual nature strengthens his mind in ways that most warriors ignore. Insight grants him speed and accuracy, and he can call upon native spirits to lend him aid. He is a contemplative warrior, likely, likely to meditate through dawn before silently lifting his sword or totem and walking calmly into battle.
Spirit Walker: A spirit walker's ancient eyes shine with the light of a thousand souls. His body is a vessel, a conduit from the land of the dead to the land of the living. Through him rushes the power and knowledge of his tribal ancestors, a rush that both intoxicates and disorients. The spirit walker wields the power of countless minds if he proves strong enough to bear the weight of so many souls. Most spirit walkers learn of their unique natures during puberty. The young spirit walker experiences intense dreams over the course of a month. In each dream he seems to live someone else's life --- an ancestor he recognizes, or a stranger from long ago. The young spirit walker is confused and disoriented upon awakening, unable to decide if he is now awake or if it the other life was his real one, and this life is but a dream. A shaman can guide the spirit walker through this transition, but spirit walkers apart form their communities do not understand what is happening to them. This leads to fear, even panic, and sometimes a deep distaste for the calling imposed on him. Such spirit walkers may never resign themselves fully to their path after having been so traumatized by their awakening.
Spymasters: Spymasters are a rare group of spies among the Horde, masters of disguise. Like the infiltrators, a spymaster's main purpose is to charm and manipulate her way into the enemy's trust. However, the Horde's spymasters serve a much more insidious purpose; they are both parts spy and assassin. As a spymaster learns her craft, she learns several useful abilities. She gains insight into the sentient mind, learning how people act and instinctively reacting via a crude, learned form of telepathy. This ability extends into battle; a spymaster learns to feel the ebbs of her opponents' thoughts and react before they do. A spymaster can extend her telepathy to her stealth, clouding the minds of those around her and rendering herself momentarily invisible. A spymaster also learns that the body is just as malleable as the mind: The ultimate goal of a spymaster is to become so good at disguises that she can physically alter her body into anyone she wishes.
Techslayer: Some nay-sayers do not appreciate the slow spread of technology. They see this new science as inherently destructive, and believe that left unchecked, technology will eventually lay waste to Azeroth. The actions of certain groups, such as the Venture Company, are clear evidence of this. While some use magic or other means to halt the use of destructive technology, a chosen few use its own power against it. These techslayers study and learn what they can about technology, then use that knowledge to keep it in check. Techslayers are often misunderstood. They do not hate science, only science used for evil purposes. Techslayers are adept at the use of technology, but they use their abilities to build, nurture, and protect --- and, of course, to stamp out destructive tech wherever they find it.
Wilderness Stalker: A wilderness stalker uses stealth to slip unseen and unheard through the woods and sneak in close to her prey. Born of instinct among the tauren and trolls in ancient times, the way of the wilderness stalker has become a set of skills passed from one generation to another --- and to the occasional ally, such as the orcs of the Horde. The mok'nathal have also developed the techniques to becoming wilderness stalkers --- claiming the wilds of Azeroth, becoming true people of the land.

Dear God, that's more than a few prestige classes. Perhaps we can sort and get apps up for people seeking to roleplay specific prestige classes?

To be fully honest, I believe Teron Gorefiend was the first Death Knight, created first to serve the Old Horde along with the fallen necropholis (Or whatever their name are. No, it's not Necromancer). But Teron Gorefiend was the first to given the Truncheon that turned him into the first Death Knight.

I think she was talking about the new generation Death Knights, not the Orc ones who were more like spellcasters rather than what they are now. That's the first generation you're talking about.

Oh, FFS. Zamoonda. It means SCOURGE Death Knights. The ones that ARE NOT simply warlocks with some combat abilities. The ones that have RUNEBLADES, plus, it says, "Ner'zhul's", NOT "The Burning Legion's." So, kindly, make relevent posts, mmkay?

1: It is every prestige class in the world WoW is based on, not base-classes, prestige classes. Ones that are for elites, and whatnot.
2: If Cody would like them, I've actually got a Prestige Class application template which can be used for all of these, if he likes.

Well, seeing how prestige classes are bastions of powergaming, I think it would be a good idea to make sure people don't abuse them since they're clearly more than your average warrior or mage. If we make it difficult enough to get in, then maybe people will wane on the need for a prestige class, and realize that their character can be much more unique without it.
