Snowflake's Guide to Ghostlands (12-21)
This guide can be used by any race and it will get you from level 12-21. If you need guides for any other level range please check out this page. Although we pick up right where I stopped in my Blood Elf Starting Guide any class can travel to Silvermoon easily and do this instead of the Barrens. Some of the quests (very few) will only be available to you if you are Blood Elf or if you did my previous guides. If you can't take those quests, just skip them and you'll be able to catch up at a later point.
Suggestion on how to use this guide (from PraterR)
I found that playing WOW in Windowed Mode feels very comfortable while following along with this guide.
The guide will be open in an internet window.
You then Alt-Tab to your WOW game. (Log in and enter game world)
Press escape and access your Video options. Near the top there is a checkbox with "Windowed Mode" inscribed next to it.
Check the Box [x] and press okay.
You will notice that you can move and stretch your WOW window in such a way as to see the internet guide above or below it.
When you need to click the internet window and scroll down or up (depending on how you want to view it) to the next paragraph of the guide.
Advantages of Leveling in Ghostlands:
If you wonder why you should do Ghostlands instead of the Barrens, there is two very important reasons:
- Ghostlands is a new zone that has been created with the Burning Crusade. This means that all loot that you will get from quest rewards will be good/useful. This is not the case in the Barrens where you still often get "old world loot" with rather useless stats like spirit.
- Ghostlands is a very compact zone, with a lot of quests at the same spots. This translates into a minimum of running around (much less than in the Barrens) and hence much faster leveling.
How to get to Ghostlands depending on your race:
First you need to get to Undercity.
- Undead: You start out in the zone where you can find Undercity. Chances are you aren't far from the city or can simply fly there.
- Orc/Troll: Just outside of Orgrimmar is a zeppelin tower. Take the zeppelin to Undercity.
- Tauren: Exit Mulgore to the east where you should zone into the Barrens. Follow this map:
Enter Orgrimmar and get the flight path. Go just outside the City and take the zeppelin to Undercity.
Once at Undercity:
Just when you enter, while you are still in the Ruins of Lordaeron, look to the right side. Up the steps, you'll see an open door and an orb of translocation. Right click it and it will teleport you to Silvermoon City. From there simply exit the town to the south, follow the path west, then at the first opportunity go south until you reach Fairbreeze Village.
Not every class has a trainer in Silvermoon City. Trainer locations by class:
- Warlock/Rogue/Hunter/Mage/Paladin/Priest/Druid : Silvermoon City
- Shaman: Use translocation orb to go to Undercity then take zeppelin to Orgrimmar. Hearthstone back when done.
- Warrior: Use translocation orb to go to Undercity, train, use translocation orb to come back
General Tips/Guidelines:
- Always log out in an inn
- Kill everything on the way that gives experience
- Get bags as early as possible
- Do not waste your time searching a group for quests mentioned in this guide unless you really can't kill something
- In general, this guide does not guide you towards class quests or tradeskills
- Spend your talent points to do the most damage
- Quests that aren't mentioned have been left out intentionally
- This guide does not take into account PvP
Useful Addons:
Something that's amazingly useful is the Ace2 updater. Download and install it and the program will present you with a list of addons which all use the same library (hence they consume very few ressources). From that list you can choose addons that interest you (I downloaded Fubar quest mod, Fubar location, Cartographer, Bartender and a mod to make my UI look better) and the program will install all the addons for you. Furthermore you can run the program every time before you launch WoW and choose to update all installed modules for you.

Level 12
1. At Fairbreeze Village get the following quests:
[10] Missing in the Ghostlands from Magistrix Landra Dawnstrider
[10] Runewarden Deryan from Ranger Sareyn (Apparently this quest is only available if you did the Defending Faibreeze Village quest from my previous guide. It doesn't matter though, as Runewarden Deryan will give you the "follow-up" [10] Powering our Defenses anyway).
2. Follow the road south to Ghostlands. When you hit the Dead Scar, go west to (44,85) where you should find Runewarden Deryan. Turn in [10] Runewarden Deryan and get the follow up [10] Powering our Defenses.
3. Go east to (55,84) and buff up, get full health/mana. Now use the Infused Crystal from your inventory next to the big rune. Two waves of 3 level 9-10 undeads will spawn. Aggro them before they can touch the crystal and kill them one by one. They don't hurt much and have very low hitpoints.
4. Go back to Runewarden Deryan and turn in.
5. Go east to (48,88) where you should find Courier Dawnstrider. Turn in [10] Missing in the Ghostlands and get the follow up [10] The Fallen Courier from Apothecary Thedra.
6. Cross the bridge to the Ghostlands and kill mobs (any type) that roam close to the bridge until you get four plagued blood samples. Return to Apothecary Thedra and turn in [10] The Fallen Courier.
7. Get the follow up from Courier Dawnstrider and follow the road south to Tranquillien. Once there turn in [10] Delivery to Tranquillien at Arcanist Vandril, get the follow up [10] The Forsaken. Turn it in at High Executor Mavren in the big building to the right and get the follow up which takes you back to Arcanist Vandril. Turn in and get the follow up [10] Suncrown Village.
Now, get all the quests you can find (beside the wanted poster) in Tranquilien.
Go to the inn and make it your home location.
Repair and sell junk. Make sure you got the following quests:
- [10] Goods from Silvermoon City (Note that this is Blood Elf only)
- [10] Suncrown Village
- [11] Tomber's Supplies
- [13] The Plagued Coast
Note: In the next part we fly to Silvermoon City, mostly to do the [10] Goods from Silvermoon City quest line. If you don't have it, you can still fly to Silvermoon City to train. If you don't need to go there, just get the flight path of Tranquillien and continue with step 2.
Now while getting the flight path, turn in [10] Goods from Silvermoon City and purchase a flight to Silvermoon City. Enter Silvermoon and go to the Bazaar at (54,70). Turn in [10] Fly to Silvermoon City and get the follow up. If you didn't get a chance to train yet, do so now. Exit the town to the south and go back to the flight master where you initially arrived. Turn in [10] Skymistress Gloaming and get the follow up.
1. Fly back to Tranquillien. Turn in [10] Return to Quartermaster Lymel.
2. Make sure junk is sold and that you have food etc. Go northeast to Suncrown Village. Next to the road at (57,15) you should see a Dying Blood Elf. Take his quest.
3. Now just ahead of you is Suncrown Village. Go there and kill 10 Nerubis Guards. Also look out for Anok'Suten which is a named undead spider. Normally two players are suggested to kill her at level 11, but by the time you get to her you should be level 13 and she shouldn't be a problem to solo, just watch out that you get no adds and that you are full HP/Mana when you attack her. You might have to chug a pot. If you really can't kill her just leave the quest for later and kill her when you pass by Suncrown Village at a later point.
Level 13
4. Continue east until you reach a camp at (69,15). Take the quest [12] Dealing with Zeb'Sora from Ranger Valanna.
5. Now swim southeast to a little island in the lake (72,18). There you should see a ghost called Geranis Whitemorn. Take his quest. Dive down the water all around the little island and search for Glistening Mud that looks about like this:
After you looted 8 of them, return to Geranis Whitemorn on the island and turn in. Take the follow up.
6. Now swim north to (71,15) where you should see Altar of Tidal Mastery under water. Right click it to summon a named elemental called Aquantion. Kill it.
==Note== Might be a little hard for certain classes, especially mages. Have Dampen Magic on, chain fireball and fireblast whenever it's up. Health pot if needed.
7. Now swim northeast over the lake to the other side where you should see trolls. Kill them until you have 6 Zeb'Sora Troll Ears.
8. Head south/southwest towards Farstrider Enclave (72,32). Get the quests:
[12] Spirits of the Drowned
[14] Bearers of the Plague
**From now on kill every Ghostclaw Lynx on your way.**
Following the western shore of the lake go back to Geranis Whitemorn and kill every Vengeful/Ravening Apparition on your way. When you arrive at Geranis Whitemorn, turn in. Swim back to Ranger Valanna and turn in [12] Dealing with Zeb'Sora. Take the follow up.
Go back to Farstrider Enclave while making sure to have killed 8 Vengeful and 8 Ravening Apparitions on your way. Turn in [12] Spirits of the Drowned and [12] Report to Captain Helios.
Hearthstone to Tranquillien. Turn in [10] Suncrown Village and [11+] Anok'suten. You should be level 14 by now (or close).
Level 14
Get the following quests:
- [11] Goldenmist Village
- [11] Investigate An'daroth
- [11] Tomber's Supplies
- [12] Salvaging the Past
- [13] The Plagued Coast
- [14] Down the Dead Scar
- [15] Culinary Crunch
Sell/repair/restock and fly to Silvermoon City in case you want/need to train.
**From now on kill every Spindleweb Spider on your way**
1. Take the road west from Tranquillien and follow it until you reach the Dead Scar. Now looking south of the Dead Scar you should see Risen Hungerers and Gangled Cannibals. Kill 10 of each while trying to not stray to far from the path which led you to the Dead Scar. Be careful there is a level 21 abomination roaming the Dead Scar. Keep any Rotting Hearts you might get.
2. Once done follow the path further west until you reach a fork. Take the little path leading south and you should see Arcane Devourers and Mana Shifters. Kill them until you have 8 Crystallized Mana Essences.
3. Go to (33,26) and pick up Rathis Tomber's Supplies, which can be found in a little wagon next to a tree.
4. Go back to where the road forked earlier and looking north you should see a little dirty path. Follow it up the hill. There should be Sentinel Spies as well as a monument looking like this:
While approaching it, kill all Sentinel Spies you come across. At the moument you should get an "investigate An'Daroth completed" message. Continue killing Sentinel Spies until you killed 12 of them.
5. Once you are done, go west to Goldenmist Village. Kill 6 Quel'Dorei Ghosts and 4 Quel'Dorei Wraths.
6. When you are done go further west to the beach. Kill murlocs there until you have 6 Plagued Murloc Spines. Once done, hearthstone back to Tranquillien.
Turn in all your quests, this should make you ding level 15. Take all the quests available besides the one on the wanted poster.
Level 15
Sell junk, repair, restock food etc.
1. Go northwest until you hit the Dead Scar again. Work your way south while killing Risen Stalkers and Risen Hungerers here until you have 10 Rotting Hearts. Don't go too far south though, stay between the two paths that cross the Dead Scar.
2. Once done go southwest to (31,48) and talk to Apprentice Shatharia. Get her quest. In front of you is a pit with gnolls. Kill gnolls there until you have killed:
- 8 Blackpaw Gnolls
- 6 Blackpaw Scavengers
- 4 Blackpaw Shamans
Also gather 6 Underlight Ore samples which either drop from the gnolls or can be mined all around that area.
3. Once done go southwest until you reach Windrunner Spire. Kill 8 Deatholme Acolytes and 10 Fallen Rangers. You'll probably loot A Lady's Necklace from one of the mobs. Right click it to start a quest.
4. When done, go north up the beach until you reach Windrunner Village. Kill Gargoyles and Phantasmal Seekers here until you have 6 Phantasmal Substance and 4 Gargoyle Fragments.
You should be level 16 by now.
If for some reason you are behind in levels, you could try to get a group to do Ragefire Chasm, it's a fun little instance and the loots have been upgraded there recently, gather all the quests for it besides [16] Hidden Enemies (too many pre-requisites). You should be ahead of the guide in levels after that
Level 16
5. When you are done, go north and swim to the little island which is located at (10,27). We need to find three different plans here (and the location can vary sometimes): Plans of An'Owyn can be found at (12,23) in a tent. Plans of An'Daroth can be found at (13,26) in a tent. Plans of Sin'Dorei can be found at (10,26) on top of the boat. Hearthstone back to Tranquillien. Turn in all your finished quests. Take all follow ups.
Take the bat to Silvermoon City, train and sell junk. In the city, go northwest to Sunfury Spire. Go up the red ramp to the Inner Sanctum. Inside you'll see some NPCs, go behind them and enter the room. Go up the ramp and you should see an orb of translocation. Use it. Welcome to Undercity.
Enter the city and get the Undercity flight path. Jump down and go the Apothecarium. From there head to the Royal Quarter (entrance is in the middle of the Apothecarium). Turn your sound up and turn in [15] Journey to Undercity at Lady Sylvanas. Enjoy the little event.
Take the translocation orb back to Silvermoon City then fly back to Tranquillien.
Restock arrows/food/etc. Before leaving the town, be sure to have the following quests:
- [16] Deliver the Plans to An'telas
- [17] Investigate the Amani Catacombs
- [17] Troll Juju
1. Follow the road south until you reach Andilien Estate at (46,56). Get [18] Clearing the Way from Apprentice Vor'el.
2. Continue on the road now going east. And at the fork go north until you reach the Sanctum of the Sun. Enter the building and turn in [14] Underlight Ore Samples at Magister Quallestis. Also get [16] The Farstrider Enclave from Magister Kaendris.
3. Go northeast of the Sanctum of the Sun, up into the mountain where you should find a camp called An'Telas (60,36). (The area around Sanctum of the Sun is a good spot for Ghostclaw Lynx btw, make sure to kill as many as you still need to finish [14] Bearers of the Plague).
Turn in [16] Deliver the Plans to An'telas at Magister Sylastor and get the follow up.
4. Leave the camp where you entered and go to Farstrider Enclave. Turn in [14] Bearers of the Plague and [16] The Farstrider Enclave. Make sure you have the following quests from here:
- [15] Curbing the Plague
- [16] The Traitor's Shadow
- [18] Attack on Zeb'Tela
- [18] Shadowpine Weaponry
- [19] A Little Dash of Seasoning
You should be level 17 by now.
Level 17
**From now on kill every Vampiric Mistbat and Spindleweb Lurker on the way**
5. Go a little west towards the mountain. You should see some trolls in front of a cave/mine entrance there. Enter and carefully pull your way through those catacombs. On the sides you'll see Mumified Troll Remains looking like this:
Right click and burn 10 of them. Be careful of the poison clouds the trolls leave when they die, move out of them. The trolls should also drop Troll Jujus. You'll need 8 of those.
From the entrance go straight until you reach a big room. There go left (there should a yellow exclamation mark on the map). Once you enter that room you should get the "investigate the Amani Catacombs completed" message.
Once you have burned enough mummies and once you've got enough 8 Troll Jujus, go to Ranger Lilatha who is in the cave inside that side room and take her escort quest.
Escort her safely to the entrance and be careful to always pull in advance so the quest NPC doesn't stand around in the poison clouds after a fight. Once outside you'll get ambushed by two trolls. CAREFUL: once you killed those two trolls she'll start running to Farstrider Enclave, follow her even if you don't get time to loot. At Farstrider Enclave you'll get the quest completed message. You'll be able to turn in the quest right away at Captain Helios.
1. Sell trash if needed and head northeast to Dawnstar Spire. Fight your way to the white building, enter and clear it. Go up the ramp. At the end you should see a book with a question mark looking like this:
Turn in [16] The Traitor's Shadow and take the follow up. Go back to Farstrider Enclave and turn in [16] Hints of the Past, take the follow up.
2. Exit FE to the south east (this is a good spot for Vampiric Mistbats, kill as many as you still need). Go a bit further in that direction until you see Shadowpine trolls. Kill everything in that camp (Zab'Tela) until the following objectives are reached:
- Kill 8 Shadowpine Shadowcasters
- Kill 8 Shadowpine Headhunters
- Obtain 3 Headhunter Axes
- Obtain 3 Shadowcaster Maces
3. Once done, follow the mountain further southwest until you reach more troll camps (Zeb'Nowa). Clear your way to the following locations (do not sneak through since the mobs on the way drop the items you need to complete Shadowpine Weaponry) and right click these objects:
(68,58) Fresh Fish Rack (3-a)
(65,66) Raw Meat Rack (3-b)
(62,75) Smoked Meat Rack (3-c)
You should be level 18 by now, if you're not, kill a few more trolls.
Level 18
4. Go to (74,67). Get the Zul'Aman flight path, go train, sell junk. When you're done, hearthstone to Tranquillien get [20] The Sanctum of the Sun (if you haven't already) and fly back to Zul'Aman.
5. Go west until you exit the path to Zul'Aman, then go southwest until you see a night elf camp called An'owyn (58,62). Clear your way through it to the middle where you should see a statue called Night Elf Moon Crystal. Continue killing Elves around it until one drops Crystal Crontrolling Orb and then right click the big statue.
6. Northwest of the Night Elf camp there should be plenty of Greater Spindlewebs and Ghostclaw Ravagers. Kill as many as you still need for [18] Clearing the Way and [15]Culinary Crunch (if you haven't finished that one yet). Once done go west to Andilien Estate (46,56) and turn in [18] Clearing the Way.
Go east/northeast to the Sanctum of the Sun and turn in at Magister Kaendris, get the follow up. Go to the 2nd floor turn in [20] The Sanctum of the Sun and get [20]War on Deatholme.
Go back to Tranquillien. Turn in all quests, sell junk, repair etc. Also get the quest [18] Spinal Dust if you don't have it.
1. Go southwest towards the Bleeding Ziggurath (34,42) and kill as many Spindleweb Lurkers as you can find.
2. Clear your way into the Ziggurath (be careful, Dr. Whitherlimb, a rare silver elite, spawns here sometimes... he can be tough to kill if you aren't prepared) and loot the Dented Chest.
3. Exit the Zigurath and go to the Dead Scar. Kill Dreadbone Sentinels and Deathcage Sorcerers until you have 10 Spinal Dust.
You should also be level 19 by now.
Level 19
4. Go to (40,47) where you should find the Howling Zigurath. Fight your way inside (again be careful, Dr. Witherlimb can spawn here too) and loot the chest.
Go back to the spider spot we've just been at and get as much as you still need. Return to Tranquillien. Go to Magistrix Aminel and turn in [18] Spinal Dust.
Now follow the mountain southeast until you reach The Sanctum of the Sun and turn in [17] The Twin Ziggurats at Magister Kaendris. You will be able to choose between "Sunwell Blade" or "Sunwell Orb", choose whichever you can equip and be sure to keep those (we will need them). Get the follow up.
Go east till you get back on the road then follow it north to the elf camp at (60,36). Turn in [16] Deactivate An'owyn at Magister Sylastor. Now go back out of the mountains and northeast to Farstrider Enclave. Turn in every completed quest you have. Get the following quests:
[19] Assault on Zeb'Nowa.
[20+] Bring Me Kel'gash's Head!
1. Go south towards the Zeb'Nowa troll camps. Try finding a partner for the next part by shouting in the zone. If you don't manage, prepare a big health pot/bandages. For warlocks and hunters this won't really be a problem but for mages or so it might be. Work your way south to (64,80) where you should see a big troll house (on the way you'll be able to kill plenty of catlords and hexxers which you need for [19] Assault on Zeb'Nowa). Once at the troll house, on the bottom floor you'll see a catlord and a hexxer. Kill them and go up to the second floor. There you should see a named troll called Kel'gash the Wicked. He is level 20 elite. I soloed him with a level 19 hunter, with a cat as pet and using mend pet a few times in between autoshots when arcane shot wasn't up. Anyway, if you don't find a partner for this, still try to kill him, with a little skill and a health pot you might just be able to pull it off. If you don't manage it, abandon the quest [20+] Bring Me Kel'gash's Head!, just grind 1950 exp (= approx 14 mobs) in this camp. Finish killing as many catlords and hexxers as you might still need (you need 10 of each).
2. Once done go west to Deatholme. Enter it and kill 5 Eye of Dar'Khan, 6 Nerubis Centurion and 6 Wailers. Use your hearthstone when you are done.
You should be level 20 by now or close.
Level 20
Fly to Silvermoon City if you wish to train, visit the auction house, etc.
Fly back to Tranquillien. Go to the Sanctum of the Sun. Turn in [20] War on Deatholme at Magister Idonis. Get the follow up [20] Dar'Khan's Lieutenants, also get [20] A Restorative Draught from Arcanist Janeda. Go to Farstrider Enclave and turn in all your quests. Go back to Tranquillien and turn in [20] A Restorative Draught at Apothecary Renzithen. Take the follow up. Sell junk, repair, etc. When you are ready go back to Deatholme.
1. Inside Deatholme take a right, follow the path until you find some catacombs (32,75) on your right-hand side. Inside the catacombs you'll find Apothecary Enith and Jurion the Deceiver. Be careful to be full health before you descend into the catacombs where you'll find them. Kill Jurion and talk to the Apothecary to rescue him.
2. Get out of the catacombs and clear the way east, till you find a big gazebo structure at (36,78), where you should find Mirdoran the Fallen. Kill him (be careful not to get an add when you pull).
3. Continue south to (38,84), on your left-hand side you should see a little path going up a hill there. Go up, enter the slaughterhouse building and rescue Apothecary Varnis. Borgoth the Bloodletter can spawn here, if you find him here, kill him but be careful not to get adds along when you pull.
4. When done follow the path southwest to (31,88), there you should see another slaughterhouse. Enter it and rescue Ranger Vedoran. If Borgoth the Bloodletter wasn't at the previous location, he should be here, kill him too.
5. Once done you need to find Masophet the Black who spawns either at (29,89) or (35,88). Beware of Dr Whitherlimb (rare silver), he spawns in the building at (35,88). He may kill you if aren't prepared.
While you search for Masophet, shout in the zone and ask if someone wants to do [21] The Traitor's Destruction. Continue killing stuff around the big Zigurath in the middle until you reach one of the two objectives:
- Find someone to do [21] The Traitor's Destruction with you: Group up and clear the way into the big zigurath in the middle. Deep inside you'll see Dar'Khan Drathir. Equip your Sunwell Blade or Sunwell Orb and put it on a macro. Dar'Khan is guarded by two necromancers with pets. They can be pulled, solo, before pulling Dar'Khan if you are careful and pull from range. Shoot the necro you want to pull once, then hide behind the wall and wait until it comes. Once both necros are dead, go for Dar'Khan and don't forget to use your Sunwell Blade/Orb. It will do 500 dmg to him + silence, but it needs to be channeled. Once he's down, exit the Ziggurat and kill mobs until you are 6675 exp away from level 21.
- If you don't find anyone to group up with, just kill mobs at Deatholme until you are 4725 exp away from level 21. However if you can get someone to help you do [21] The Traitor's Destruction, then don't hesitate, the rewards are awesome.
Hearthstone back to Tranquillien (if it's up) or just walk directly to the Sanctum of the Sun.
ALTERNATIVE: Instead of running back from Deatholme to the Sanctum you can also let a mob kill you and take a spirit raise. You'll appear close to the Sanctum. If you don't want to waste money this way, just walk there normally.
Turn in all three quests there, take the follow up [21] Hero of the Sin'dorei then go back to Tranquillien and fly to Silvermoon City. Go to the Sunfury Spire (where the orb of translocation is if you remember) and turn in [21] Hero of the Sin'dorei at Lor'Themar Theron. Get the follow up. Grats on level 21.
You are right next to the orb of translocation which will take you to Undercity, where you can turn in this quest and continute with Jame's horde leveling guide.
This is the end of my guide. I hope you liked it and please take some time to leave feedback.

This is a Great Guide
Submitted by bloodelf2010 on Sat, 2010-10-02 17:05.
I'm actually a half a level ahead of the guide, meaning i did some earlier tanking for a bit, but it's a great tool especially for the beginners like myself. Going through these quests like hotcakes! Glad I found this and didn't wasste my money on an ingame guide. There should be more out there like you! Keep having more fun with the blood elf warlock everytime I play!
Sweet Guide
Submitted by the_fat_man on Sun, 2010-08-29 14:31.
hey man, just wanted to let you know that i created this account JUST to applaud you epic guide,
but whilst im commenting.... i was wondering if any one could let me know what the best build for a blood elf paladin is,
Thanks again for the epic guide
Would not recommend at all!
Submitted by Wowzaa on Tue, 2010-05-04 00:12.
My first problem was keeping up with the levels. I am constantly behind in xp EVEN with doing dungeons in between quests. My second problem was Zeb'Nowa at level 17. Seriously? Was the person that put that there drunk? The hunters are near damn impossible to take down. Not to mention right before they die, they run into the surrounding mobs. I can't count how many times I have died now because I was polymorphed because a hunter ran over to a hexxer. This quest is best done at 19 or 20... NOT 17. I'm not even going to bother continuing on with the guide.

Submitted by VIsixVI on Tue, 2011-02-01 12:40.
I have the opposite thing happen to me....I'm usually a few to several levels ABOVE the guide. I continue with the guides anyways because they are a very efficent way to do the quest in a particular territory (any any quest that lead to other territories the guide remind me to wait and that we will get there soon enough). I'm going to follow this guide AGAIN with a level 11 or even a 10 just to prove you wrong (of course it will be with my Rogue ...lol).
AWESOME job on this guide Snowflake... keep up the good work!
The Count down to 12-21-2012 begins NOW! Have a nice day MUH HA Ha ha

Now easier for Tauren

As of last patch, there is a zeppelin from Thunder Bluff to Orgrimmar, so no run through the barrens needed.
I used both your blood elf
Submitted by mattik13 on Tue, 2009-10-13 07:56.
I used both your blood elf starters guide and this and just wanted to say you did a great job! I am a new first time player abd using this as a guideline helped me alot! So thank you very much!
An update to my earlier
Submitted by ophois on Fri, 2009-08-28 02:04.
An update to my earlier comment (if it appears its still in moderation as I post this). After getting myself back on track with the guide (ah grind how I love thee). I then fell behind again:
When the guide said I should be level 18 I was 6000XP short, I continued the guide without trying to catch up and when it said I should be 19 I was still 6000XP short (back to the grind I guess).
I don't know if this is something I'm doing wrong or the guide, but I do have one question. I'm doing this over a couple of nights in a row so I've not had much rest experience to give me bonus. Is the guide written to assume rest XP or will that just push you ahead of where the guide expects you to be?
All said I'll drop another compliment in: No matter the XP problems its still making things a lot easier to level than normal. I've gone from 1 to nearly 19 in about 13h. While not that fast compared to others its still a lot better than normal for me. Thanks
XP Issues
Submitted by ophois on Wed, 2009-08-26 23:59.
I've been running your two Blood Elf Guides on WOW 3.2.0.
The first guide (1-12) was pretty much perfect. Impressive, most impressive.
The second guide while still really really useful seems to be suffering some XP problems.
I ended up starting the level 14 quests while still 13 and found a few of them harder than I would like for a quick run. It might be worth re-ordering the quests to be in level order (at the moment you do the highest level ones first), it would just be a matter of reversing the order.
At the point it told me I should have levelled to 15 I was still 2000 XP short. This wouldn't be much of a problem but the some of the quests your meant to pick up at that point:
Culinary Crunch
Retaking Windrunner Spire
Are only available when you hit level 15. It might be worth adding a note to say if your not 15 then go grind until you are before continuing.
Overall however these are great, thanks for all the hard work you've put in to them
As an altoholic I have run
Submitted by Ðarien on Thu, 2009-08-27 03:57.
As an altoholic I have run every starter zone numerous times using these guides. One method I have come up with that seems to keep me one to two levels ahead of the guide is to grind mobs right out of the gate. I spend 5 to 10 minutes just killing whatever is close before picking up the first quest. (Usually dinging 3 by the time I pick it up).
Also, head to the major cities and pick up the 5 quests for RFC and run that with a group. (If you have to settle for a run with a higher level, try and find someone no higher then 45/46 to eat less xp) That should catch you up and set you ahead of the guide easily.
The quests I mention are found at the following spots;
-In UC, talk to Varithmas** (Big ugly as I like to call him, next to Sylvanas) He'll need you to find two books
-In TB on Spirit Rise* (Possibly Elder, drawing a blank now) 2 quests from the same NPC -- "Testing teh Enemies Strength" and "The Lost Satchel"
-In Org you need to do the quest line with Thrall to get the main quest. Also, the other NPC you have to speak with inside of the Drag (Neeru**) has the fifth and final quest.
I would also recommend to start searching for a group as you start the quests for Thrall as it can take some time on most servers.

Submitted by ophois on Fri, 2009-08-28 02:28.
I have bad luck with grouping. I once quit wow for a year because I couldn't get a group for Zul'Farrak after a week of trying
If I was taking my time I'd definitely do RFC but by the time I got there, got the quests, got a group it could easily take most of a night, say 3 or 4 hours, which would be longer than just grinding the XP I need to catch up.
It's strange though, with the exception of the wanted posters I don't think I've skipped many (if any) quests available. The guide just makes it so much faster to do them all. That means Blizzard must be expecting a fair bit of grind out of the players, with all the talk recently of faster levelling that surprised me.

Add-on version of this guide
Submitted by qillerdaemon on Sun, 2009-05-24 00:07.
Just ran a BE hunter thru the guide, and I found no notable errors with it. Entered the guide at 13, wound up at 22 after taking down Dar'Khan. I'd give this a 100% approval, and would suggest it to everyone. I could quibble a bit with the quest order, but that mostly personal taste. Overall, I'd say it's a 9.75/10, a definite winner.
If this is not the proper place for a critique, then let me know.

The drop rate for a lot of
Submitted by Jiyambi on Tue, 2009-03-24 03:32.
The drop rate for a lot of quests has been increased. This means that you'll do less grinding than Jame originally expected when he wrote the guide, and may fall behind a little. I wouldn't worry, though. If you want to try and catch up, just kill every mob you see along the way while you do quests. There are also optional circuits in the later guides, and you can always do instances to which are a great boost to your XP.
That could be it.
Submitted by Hexxer on Tue, 2009-03-24 04:24.
Thanks, I suppose I'll just WC until 21.
Great guide by the by.
Another way to solve this
Submitted by Arannar on Tue, 2009-03-24 04:16.
Another way to solve this is, if you like instances do them whenever you get the chance, like when Jame says so in his guides. the downside to this is the wait of finding a group, it really all depends on your server.
You don't really have to
Submitted by Jiyambi on Tue, 2009-03-24 04:31.
You don't really have to wait - just start looking for a group while questing. This is what I did all through Northrend. Granted it's a bit harder for Old World especially to find groups. At least in Outland there are DKs looking for groups a lot.
Thank you =)

Thanks again,
Yeah, it's a great guide.
Submitted by Syladind on Tue, 2009-03-17 02:53.
Yeah, it's a great guide. Leveling my troll priest through it xD But if you really want to try a priest again, I suggest at 10~, get your main to make a mystic spellthread(its a level 60 one) on some pants and send them over. Helps a LOT. And, spec 3 in spirit tap, then dump the rest into holy till level 50. Lolsmite spec is the best way to go until VT. Spirit tap = Never runs oom. Anyway, thanks for the guide on this one Snowflake! I love using this one, leveled a warrior, a warlock, a druid, and now a priest through here! I always end up at level 22-23 at the end of the guide, so I'm well ahead of the Jame's guide when I start it up.
ALSO: You spelled Zigurrat wrong in multiple places. You say Zigurrath, not what it should be xD

Submitted by black cat on Tue, 2008-12-02 04:06.
A little after you ding 16, the guide says to go to Undercity and finish off the chain starting with The Lady's Necklace.
I've always tended to do this with the follow ups to The Traitor's Destruction (the ultimate quest-chain of the zone, lorewise). It would make sense to do it on your way out, you can turn in both at the same time.
I'm not sure how much time it'd save, if any, but it does seem logical.
Either way, very nice guide.
Submitted by Jade on Tue, 2008-11-25 07:23.
Great guide! I used both and achieved level 22 in 1 Day and 1 Hour of playtime, and that includes running instances, he had 2 butcher's slicers, rugged shoulders, and plenty of other gear from instances, and still less then a day play time. Great guide.
Please go outside, if you have more then 1,000 days of playtime on your character then go do something else. That is totally unhealthy.

Submitted by Xelleron on Sat, 2008-11-22 06:23.
A friend of mine showed me this page and said that it helped him level faster. I, actually didn't really look into it much until I got frustrated. Some of the things I couldn't find at first because they were named differently then the actual quests (which, me, having dumb moments would go to the wrong place instead). But once I knew what I was doing and what quests were which, it came in handy big time. I really liked the shadow parts where you could find certain things like undead or the spiders. That helped a LOT.
All in all I would definitely tell people about this.

Submitted by enigma on Mon, 2008-11-03 12:39.
Just leveling a rogue and wanted to say thanks to snowflake for all his guides and jame for all his, huge help to heaps of people, thanks guys! Also, just a quick suggestion - when leveling in ghostlands as you know you get tranquilien reputation. I was thinking maybe put in the guide whenever you go up a rep level (I did at level 14 and then level 16 - both when handing in quests at Tranquilien) to check the vendor for new gear - his name is Provisioner Vredigar, he's near a wagon in town - to see if he has any good stuff for your class. All of it seems good for the specific classes it's meant for.
So yeah, thanks again and just figured I'd suggest to put this in the guide so people who don't know about it don't miss out on some good green gear! All the stuff he can sell is here... http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=16528

You can easily use TourGuide addon for the first 12 levels of every race, I did it several times and I've got to say that it works perfectly. At level 12 you have various possibility, such as switching to This guide if you are undead or BE, else you can use Hosho's guide to the barrens, it's just as good as this one.

Hey there. Amazing guide! only thing i've noticed so far was that in the begginning of lvl 14, you say to collect 'bearers of the plauge' in Tranquillien but its actually the follow up for the ghost lynx quest over in Farstrider Enclave, which once i realised, it took me a good 10 minutes to get back over there and then another 10 to return to Tran. Other than that, I love the suggestion of taking screen shots of what you should have in your quest log, because i'm unsure of some if i've missed handing them in.
Thanks so much for the guide, its rocking my little blood-elf world right now!!

Hi Snowflake, grats for the guide you made. Awesome speed, i did 12-21 in 2 afternoons of playing .
I did 1-12 on my own (as an undead rogue), than joined your guide without problems.
Note: if you are a rogue, at level 16 you get a quest for Lockpicking. You can do this quest along with Troll Juju in the catacombs. This gives also a little boost of exp which is good .
The sad thing is that i didn't found anyone for the group quests at level 20, so I have to start Jame's guide 1 level before. I think that this isn't a problem. In addiction, at level 22 I'll do the rogue quest (yes, another class quest... ) for poisons, which I think will give me the XP I loose in this guide.
Great work, keep it up!

Snowflake, i thank you so much, not only have i searched frequently for a free leveling guide, but also a good one - and as a first user of a leveling guide, i followed your guide from 1-12, and then 12-21, and i have to say, this is the BEST DAMN GUIDE i have ever used today, it is perfect, i found not one glitch, error or anything in the material of your guide. I loved it, and it is so fun asking people your same level what their total time played is and it is a crappy number like 17 hours.
I followed this guide and i leveled from 1-21 in 1 full day, and my total time was: 9 hours, 58 minutes, 37 seconds to the final DING! and now i'm sad i have to go and read James', however, if it is half as good as yours was to me, i think i'll e doing good.
Lots of hugs and kisses to you Snowflake!

Friday will be the 26th day this season that an alert has been issued by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, which is banning wood burning in the region because of poor air quality.
A dry, stagnant weather pattern with little wind continues to linger in the Bay Area and does not appear to be leaving any time soon, air district officials said.
"Unfortunately, weather conditions that allow smoke to build up and cause public health impacts have not changed," Jack Broadbent, executive officer of the air district, said in a statement today.
During a Spare the Air day, residents and businesses cannot use fireplaces, woodstoves, outdoor fire pits or any other wood-burning devices indoors or outdoors.
Homes that only have stoves or fireplaces as a source of heat are exempt from the ban.
Violators are subject to a $100 fine or the option to take a wood smoke awareness class. Violators face a $500 fine or higher for subsequent offenses.
Wood smoke has fine particles and other pollutants that make the air harmful to breathe and cause air pollution, according to the district.
Children, the elderly and those with respiratory conditions are most susceptible to the effects of poor air quality, district officials said.
This winter has seen the worst air quality since 2006, primarily due to the dry weather, air district spokesman Aaron Richardson said.
There were 30 "Winter Spare the Air" days for the entire winter season in 2006-2007.
"We are threatening our record for (alerts). And we're only halfway through the season," Richardson said.
The winter season started Nov. 1 and runs until Feb. 28.
More information about the daily burn status is available at www.sparetheair.org or by calling (877) 4-NO-BURN.

Hot & Steamy! Energy Efficient Cooking with Three Tier Steamers
One heat source cooks three different dishes! That's energy efficient cooking. Preparing food using three tier steamers is quick and simple. Simply load up the different levels, turn on the heat and walk away, all on one burner. It's also extremely versatile, so cooking for one is as easy as cooking for a small group. Because it uses only one burner, this is also a great tip for small kitchens.
Boil the main portion of your meal on the bottom level. For me, this means pasta, rice, potatoes or soup. Load your protein in the middle. I usually use chicken breasts or fish. And last but not least, load a heaping amount of vegetables at the top. Vegetables always shrink tremendously, so don't be shy. Recently, I filled mine with kale and string beans. Once they're finished cooking, drizzle your courses with your favorite sauces or seasonings.
(Tip: After steaming chicken breasts, shred the hot meat using a fork and knife on a cutting board. The chicken will shred effortlessly and readily absorb any sauce or seasoning you toss in.)

Project Description
W.R. Grace & Company (Grace) has teamed with the University of South Carolina, Battelle Memorial Institute, and Catacel Corporation to develop a unique rapid pressure swing adsorption (PSA) process for cost-effective post-combustion CO2 capture from coal-fired power plants. Pressure swing adsorption is a favorable process for CO2 capture as adsorption and desorption are achieved with electrical energy rather than with the extraction of steam from the power plant's steam cycle. Based on promising results from a previously developed proprietary PSA cycle configuration, the new rapid PSA cycle is capable of achieving over 90 percent CO2 recovery and over 95 percent CO2 purity using commercial zeolite pellets. The project team will develop a rapid version of the proprietary PSA process, taking advantage of a much shorter cycle time of 30 seconds as compared to 300 seconds for a conventional PSA cycle. This will increase the feed throughput by a factor of 10 or more, concomitantly decreasing the column size by an order of magnitude or more. The rapid PSA process could significantly reduce both the capital costs and plant footprint, while also reducing the operating costs. The project goal is to develop and test a cost-effective rapid PSA process that incorporates an attrition-resistant, low-pressure-drop structured adsorbent that is compatible with the high velocities associated with rapid PSA operation, and an optimized rapid PSA cycle configuration. Testing at bench scale will be conducted with simulated flue gas to validate CO2 capture performance.
Project Benefits
Bench-scale development of the unique rapid PSA technology will confirm its capability to cost-effectively capture CO2 from coal-fired flue gas. The rapid PSA process incorporates a structured adsorbent with low-pressure drop, high mass-transfer rates, high capacity, and high availability that will enable large feed throughputs, reducing operating costs. This technology holds promise to achieve the DOE goals of capturing at least 90 percent of the CO2 with less than a 35 percent increase in the cost of electricity when scaled to a 550 megawatt coal-fired power plant.

By: Dr Lynda Kelly, Category: At The Museum, Date: 30 Sep 2009
Results from the 2009 survey on computer-based exhibits now available on Open Exhibits website.
Jim Spadaccini says: "The results of our 2009 survey on computer-based exhibits are now available on the Open Exhibits Website. We received 150 responses from individuals from museums and educational organizations around the world.On the Open Exhibits website you can filter the results by "small" and "large" museums and by informal science education specific organizations."
Key findings (from their website):
Very interesting. I'm wondering, however, whether computer interactives in exhibitions as we know them have had their day? Visitors I speak to want us to go back more to our collections and objects, and with the tightened financial circumstances do we have the resource to develop these? For example, the games I play with my 14 year old on Xbox far exceed anything we could ever offer in the museum.

Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius has been arrested after a 30-year-old woman was shot dead at his home in South Africa.
Police say Pistorius, a double-amputee known as "Blade Runner," was taken into custody after the shooting early Thursday morning at his home in a gated complex in the country's capital.
Lt. Col. Katlego Mogale told The Associated Press that police received a call that there had been a shooting at the runner's home. Mogale said when police arrived, they found paramedics trying to revive the woman, who had been shot an unspecified number of times. Mogale said the woman died at the house.
Officers found a 9-mm pistol at the scene and took the 26-year-old Pistorius into custody. Mogale said Pistorius was expected to appear in court later Thursday.
Several South African media outlets reported that the woman was Pistorius' girlfriend and that he may have mistaken her for a burglar and shot her, but police did not clarify the woman's relationship to Pistorius.
Pistorius made history at the London Olympics last year when he became the first double-amputee runner to compete on the track at the Games and is one of South Africa's most famous athletes.
Having had both of his legs amputated below the knee when he was less than a year old, he campaigned for years to be allowed to compete against able-bodied athletes and finally was cleared by sport's highest court to be able to run at the top events. Pistorius competed in the 400 meters and on South Africa's 4x400 relay team at the London Games and also retained his Paralympic title in the 400 meters in London.

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) are electrochemical devices that convert chemical energy of a fuel and oxidant directly into electrical energy. Since SOFCs produce electricity through an electrochemical reaction and not through a combustion process, they are much more efficient and environmentally benign than conventional electric power generation processes. Their inherent characteristics make them uniquely suitable to address the environmental, climate change, and water concerns associated with fossil fuel based electric power generation.
The NETL Fuel Cell Program maintains a portfolio of RD&D projects that address the technical issues facing the commercialization of SOFC technology and a series of increasingly larger demonstration projects intended to validate the solutions to those issues. To successfully complete the maturation of the SOFC technology from its present state to the point of commercial readiness, the Program's efforts are channeled through three key technologies, each of which has its respective research focus.

Our price comparisons of local auto insurers reveal dramatic company-to-company rate differences—several hundred dollars a year for most consumers, and several thousand dollars for many. And you don't have to forsake service for a better rate.
While even the best body shops can't undo an accident, our ratings reveal that many shops will get your car back on the road without a hitch. But our ratings also reveal that some shops may compound your misery with lousy work.
In addition to checking how shops were rated by their customers, judging how well shops communicate, and certifications, ask about the source of any parts that will be used. There is some concern over the quality of used and aftermarket parts.
Since insurance companies pay for most repairs, for most auto body repair customers price is less important than quality. But for work paid for by the customer, price is an important consideration.
In an age of self-piloting cars and computerized features, many things can still go wrong with your ride. That means drivers still rely on human mechanics. Our evaluations of hundreds of area shops will help you find great service and low prices.
Our price ratings of shops will help you find shops that charge fair prices. Don't assume using a low-cost shop means having to accept low-quality work: We found that top shops are more likely to offer low prices as lousy shops.
If your car is still covered under a new-car warranty, you'll want to use a dealership for repairs. But if your car is no longer under warranty, you're probably best off using an independent shop.

I like having a student-run bar,

Frances, 2nd Year
Mock Admissions Interview
Rebeka attends a mock medical interview. Although Rebeka is a current student posing as an applicant the interview was not rehearsed and Rebeka did not know what to expect.
Please read these notes for further information regarding the filming of our mock interviews.

Mock Interview Notes
These videos are designed to give you some idea of the structure of a Cambridge interview. They show real interviewers, but the 'applicant' is someone who was already a student at Emmanuel.
Although this means that they have already gone through the application procedure and have been successful, the videos were not rehearsed and the 'applicants' didn't know precisely what to expect.
- Videos were filmed using current undergraduates, not actual applicants. These undergraduates were volunteers. They were not paid for participating in the video, and the interviews themselves were not scripted in any way.
- The undergraduates in the videos were instructed to answer questions using the level of knowledge which they believe themselves to have had at the time when they applied to Cambridge (i.e. not the level of knowledge they have now). Such things are always difficult to estimate and the undergraduates may well have presented themselves more favourably in these videos than they did at their actual interviews. It should be remembered in any case that these undergraduates were successful applicants, and therefore would presumably have done fairly well at their interviews in any case. Students should not be put off from applying because they do not feel they reach the standard demonstrated by the applicants in the videos.
- These interviews are intended to give an accurate idea of a Cambridge interview at Emmanuel College, and their aim is to demystify the interview procedure and better inform applicants as to what to expect. They are not intended to provide a basis for a 'winning formula' for a successful application to Cambridge.
- The 'applicants' in these videos are not necessarily typical of the students normally admitted to Emmanuel College, and no attempt should be made to divine from them the personality type or profile of a successful applicant.
- Equally, these interviews are not necessarily entirely typical of the kind of interview an applicant can expect at Emmanuel College in the subjects shown. Many subjects use several interviewers, and all have their own 'style' of interviewing.
- If a student happens to apply to Emmanuel for one of the subjects for which we have filmed an interview, they will not be asked the same questions as are shown in the videos.
- These videos were produced by Emmanuel College and are not part of a University-wide project. The University has produced a video of two mock interviews, which are available online.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (July 6, 2012)—Michael Matz, best known for training 2006 Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro and Union Rags, who won a thrilling renewal of the Belmont Stakes June 9, has nominated Colonial Flag and Somali Lemonade to the $350,000 American Oaks.
A Grade I for 3-year-old fillies at 1 ¼ miles on turf, the American Oaks is the most lucrative of four graded stakes that will be run the final two days (July 14-15) of the Spring/Summer meet at Betfair Hollywood Park.
Besides the American Oaks, which attracted 12 other nominees besides the Matz duo, the Saturday, July 14 program will also feature the Grade II, $200,000 A Gleam Handicap, the Grade III, $150,000 Hollywood Juvenile Championship and the $150,000 Landaluce.
The main event on Sunday, July 15 is the traditional closing day feature – the Grade III, $100,000 Sunset Handicap. The 1 ½ mile turf race lured 12 nominees, including Inglewood Handicap winner Utopian and Dhaamer, who won the Round Table for trainer Mike Mitchell.
Owned by Skara Glen Stable, W.S. Farish and ENL Stables LLC, Colonial Flag has won two of four and earned $98,075. In her most recent appearance, the daughter of Pleasant Tap and the Smart Strike mare Silk n' Sapphire was second in the Grade III Regret June 16 at Churchill Downs.
A Lemon Drop Kid filly out of the Nureyev mare Chic Corine, Somali Lemonade is 2-for-6 for owner Caroline Forgason. Betfair Hollywood Park would be the fifth different track at which Somali Lemonade has run if she starts July 14.
Bred in Kentucky by Cina Forgason, Somali Lemonade won the first two races of her career, defeating maidens at Belmont Park last Sept. 11 before rallying from far off the pace to take the Grade III Jessamine Oct. 13 at Keeneland. She has placed in a pair of stakes in 2012 – finishing second in the Grade III Appalachian at Keeneland and third in the Grade III Boiling Springs June 23 at Monmouth Park.
The nominees also include European shippers Angegreen, the runner-up in the Group II Italian Oaks, Miss Cato and Nayarra, who was third in the Group III Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes April 18 at Newmarket in England.
Regalo Mia, a Sligo Bay filly owned by Steven Ciccarone and trained by Michelle Nihei, has been 1-2-3 in five of six on turf and comes off a nose loss in the Grade II Sands Point May 28 at Belmont Park.
Trained by Al Stall, Jr. for B. Wayne Hughes' Spendthrift Farm LLC, Treasured Up was third in the Regret – fourth place finisher Left a Message is also nominated to the American Oaks for Glen Hill Farm and trainer Tom Proctor – and has won two of six and earned $82,801.
Koko Loca was sixth in the Edgewood May 4 at Churchill Downs in her United States debut for Great Friends Stable, RAP Racing and W.C. Racing and trainer Doug O'Neill.
The locals nominated include My Gi Gi, Lady of Shamrock and Stormy Lucy, the 1-2-3 finishers in the Grade II Honeymoon Handicap June 9, Killer Graces, the winner of the 2011 Hollywood Starlet, and Best Present Ever, a California bred daughter of Unusual Heat who has won three in a row on grass for breeders Dennis and Norine Grenier and trainer Eric Kruljac.
Run at seven furlongs over Cushion Track for fillies and mares, the A Gleam is a Breeders' Cup Challenge "Win and You're In''event.
The Breeders' Cup nominated winner of the A Gleam will receive automatic entry into the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint, which will be run Nov. 2 at Santa Anita. All entry fees will be waived and the winning owner will receive a $10,000 travel allowance.
The 11 nominees to the A Gleam include a pair – American Lady and Glamorista – from the barn of Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert, who won the race a year ago with Irish Gypsy.
The other nominees: Izzy Rules, Mega Dream, Mildly Offensive, Moonstruck Maya, Rumor, She's Cheeky, Sugarinthemorning, Switch, a two-time Grade I winner for Lee and Susan Searing's C R K Stable and trainer John Sadler, and Teddy's Promise.
The Hollywood Juvenile's eight nominees are topped by Amarish, who is undefeated in two starts over Cushion Track, including the Willard L. Proctor Memorial June 16.
The dozen nominees to the Landaluce include Cinderella Stakes winner Miss Empire and Executiveprivilege, who overcame a horrible start to win her June 28 debut impressively for Baffert and owners Mike Pegram, Karl Watson and Paul Weitman.
Entries for the American Oaks, A Gleam, Hollywood Juvenile and Landaluce will be taken Wednesday, July 11. Sunset entries will be taken Thursday, July 12.

Date: December 15, 1995
On December 14, 1995, the Senate Finance Committee unanimously approved S. 1470, the "Senior Citizens' Freedom to Work Act of 1995." The Senate is expected to take action on this legislation before the end of the year.
On December 5, the House passed H.R. 2684, the "Senior Citizens' Right to Work Act of 1995" (Legislative Bulletin No. 104-14). While several provisions of that bill are similar to the provisions of S. 1470, only the provision to increase the earnings test annual exempt amount is identical in both bills.
As approved by the Senate Finance Committee, S. 1470 includes the following:
Increase in the Earnings Test Annual Exempt Amount
- Beginning in 1996, gradually raise the earnings limit for the retirement earnings test (RET) for beneficiaries who have attained normal retirement age to $30,000 by 2002 (compared with $14,760 under current law based on the intermediate assumptions in the Trustees Report). The applicable 1996 exempt amount under current law is $11,520. Exempt amounts under the bill would be:
After 2002, the annual exempt amount would be indexed to growth in average wages.
The substantial gainful activity (SGA) amount applicable to individuals who are statutorily blind would no longer be linked to the RET exempt amount for individuals ages 65 to 69. Instead, the SGA amount for blind peop le would continue to be adjusted annually as under present law, i.e., based on the national average wage index.
Denial of Disability Benefits to Drug Addicts and Alcoholics
Prohibits disability insurance (DI) and supplemental security income (SSI) eligibility to
individuals whose drug addiction andlo r alcoholism (DAA) is a contributing factor
material to the finding of disability . This provision would apply to individuals who
file for benefits on or after the date of enactment and to individuals whose claims are
adjudicated on or after the date of enactment. This provision applies to current
beneficiaries on January 1, 1997. If current beneficiaries whose benefits terminate
because of this provision reapply for benefits within 120 days after the date of
enactment, SSA must make new medical determinations for such individuals no later than January 1, 1997.
Applies representative payee requirements to any PI or SSI beneficiary who is unable to manage their benefits due to a DAA condition, as determined by the Commissioner. SSA would refer these individuals to the appropriate State agency for treatment. These provisions would apply to applications filed after the date of enactment.
Provides an appropriation of $50 million for each of FYs 1997 and 1998 to carry out on a priority basis activities relating to the treatment of drug and alcohol abuse under the Public Health Service Act.
Dependency Test for Stepchildren
- To get benefits, a stepchild would have to be receiving at least one-half support from the stepparent when the child's claim is filed. (The option for finding dependency based on living-with would be eliminated.) This provision would be effective for benefits of individuals who become entitled after the third month following the month of enactment.
If the natural parent and the stepparent of an entitled stepchild divorce, benefits to the stepchild based on the work record of the stepparent would terminate the month after the month in which such divorce becomes final. This provision would be effective for final divorces occu rring after the third month following the month of enactment.
Continuing Disability, Renew (CDR) Administration Revolving Account for Title II Disability Benefits
- Establishes through FY 2002 a CDR Administration Revolving Account in the
Federal Disability Insurance (DI) Trust Fund as a source of non-appropriated
administrative funds to help finance DI CDRs. The account would be initially
funded with $300 million transferred from amounts otherwise available in the
DI Trust Fund and would thereafter be credited at the start of each fiscal year
with an amount equal to the estimated present value of savings to the OASDI
and Medicare Trust Funds (as certified by SSA's Chief Actuary) fiowing from
CDRs conducted in the prior fiscal year. Expenditures from the Account could be used only for the purpose of conducting CDRs.
- Requires explicit annual certifications from SSA's Chief Actuary. Therefore, the provision also establisbes statutorily the position of Chief Actuary.
- Requires the Commissioner to include in SSA's CDR Report to Congress a final accounting of the amounts transferred to the Account during the year, the amount made available from the Account during the year pursuant to certifications made by SSA's Chief Actuary, and the expenditures made for processing CDRs during the year, including a comparison of the number of CDRs conducted during the year with the estimated number of CDRs upon which the estimate for such expenditures was made.
- The provision is applicable only for fiscal years beginning on October 1, 1995,
through September 30, 2002, and sunsets October 1,2002.
Investment of Social Security and Medicare Trust Funds
Would prohibit the Secretary of the Treasury from refraining from investing Social Security and Medicare Trust Fund monies in Federal securities, and from redeeming securities held by the trust funds, to avoid increasing or to reduce outstanding public debt obligations. Effective upon enactment.

With only days to go before the HTC One X is unleashed on US soil, HTC is pushing out a second OTA update to the Tegra 3-powered HTC One X. The 1.29.401.7 software update for unlocked/unbranded handsets in Europe weighs in at 35MB and comes with a slew of minor bug fixes and system improvements to make the handset more stable.
HTC has not issued an official changelog for the 1.29.401.7 software update, but users have scrounged together and identified most the changes. Major changes within the update include a new radio (updated to 1.26.401.2), fixes to the calendar application and widget, improved stability to HTC Sense 4.0 and overall system performance improvements.
For now, the 1.29.401.7 update is only rolling out to unlocked handsets, but carrier-branded devices in Europe may also receive the update within the next week or two. The HTC One X launched with software version 1.26, quickly moved through 1.27 and on to 1.28. It would have been nice if HTC had caught all the bugs before the handset was released, but it's encouraging to see HTC working hard to make sure their customers have the best experience possible with the HTC One X.
Have you received the 1.29.401.7 software update on your HTC One X yet? Are there any issues HTC has overlooked?
UPDATE: We're been informed that the changelog we posted earlier was for the 1.28 update for the HTC One X. We will update this post with any new information when details of the 1.29.401.7 update are made available.

Ever heard your kid say, "Hey, Mom, I'd really like you to send me to my room"? Of course not. But that's because "discipline" isn't the same as "punishment." The best kind of discipline is more akin to teaching: showing our children how we expect them to behave in the world. Clear rules -- and parents who stick to them -- are what a child needs in order to feel secure. Here's when your child is actually begging you to set him straight:
Battling over bedtime
Why your child wants discipline: Young kids don't have the willpower to give up something seemingly fun (staying up late) for something good for them (more sleep). But their little bodies crave dependable sleep cycles. Your child wants you to teach her how to calm herself consistently at night.
What to do: Give her a little control. It might sound backward, when what you're trying to do is discipline. But if your child has some power (or thinks she does), it'll actually help her follow the rules that matter most.
You may be dying for a chance to flop down in front of a grown-up TV show for the first time all day, but resist the urge to bark orders: "Brush teeth! Put on jammies! Into bed! Now!" Instead, insist on a bedtime that you name, but get there in a way that your child chooses. Options like "Do you want to put on your jammies or brush your teeth first?" help guide her through her night routine and allow her to start taking more responsibility.
A poster with pictures of each nighttime ritual is great for keeping kids as young as 2 1/2 on track and well-behaved at bedtime. You may still need to cue your child to take each step by asking her things like "What do you do after you take your bath?" but she's likely to spend less time battling the road to bedtime if you seem more like a guide than a drill sergeant.
Melting down in public
Why your child wants discipline: It may look like he's just being a brat, but there's more going on here. Young children lack impulse control. If yours wants you to buy him a special snack while you're shopping and you say no, he honestly doesn't know how to shut off that really strong feeling of want.
"He's crying out for you to teach him two things: how to deal with disappointment in a socially acceptable way and what to do with his intense desire for the treat," says Sharon Silver, founder of the California Bay Area coaching firm ProActive Parenting.
What to do: Break the cycle by leaving the store. As calmly as you can, ask a checker or the store manager to watch your cart while you take your child outside. Sit with him on the curb or in your car, and say, "I'll be ready to listen when you stop crying." (Keep a book or magazine in your car. It might take a few minutes.)
Once your child is calm, help him think through what went wrong, rather than lecture: "Why did we leave the store? How do we look at things in a store, with our hands or with our eyes?" This is what makes it discipline -- you don't cave, but you do teach your kid a little lesson -- rather than punishment.
After you go back inside, help your child handle those irresistible, wiggle-in-the-grocery-cart material desires: Tell him that today is for family shopping and that he'll be able to pick out a treat when it's a special occasion for him. Together, you can list what those might be -- birthday, last day of school -- for extra distraction.
The lesson for your child is about limits: We'll come back to your "wants" at a more appropriate time; you don't call the shots by throwing a tantrum.
Squabbling at a playdate
Why your child wants discipline: Little kids are just learning how to play with their peers, and even half an hour can be a long time for them. Your child doesn't have the social grace to say, "Hey, I'm a little pooped right now. Anyone mind if we continue this get-together another time?" By grabbing toys or bursting into tears over her friend's choice of block color, she's not purposely trying to be difficult. She's telling you, in the only way she knows how, that she needs your help.
What to do: Give her the words to describe how she's feeling -- or tell her, if necessary, that her behavior is not okay.
You can say to your child, "It looks like you're tired of playing with that toy. Let's try the blocks over here." Or help her calm down by putting her on your lap and quietly reading a book together.
If your daughter does something like bop her pal on the head with a doll, saying "We don't hurt other people" is enough. If you're at someone else's house and decide to end the playdate, don't lecture your toddler. She's learning by your example: When her behavior gets out of hand, it's time to go home. She may be relieved to get back home to her own toys and routines.
You might call this common sense. But guess what? It's also a positive form of discipline.
Talking back to grown-ups
Why your child wants discipline: Kids can't help trying out words and ways of talking they've overheard from friends. Believe it or not, though, they want you to teach them how far they can go -- to set the boundaries of acceptable talk. So ungrit your teeth and consider sassy talk a plea for disciplinary guidelines: "Can I talk like this to grown-ups? Will you let me?" Your answer (in more helpful words, of course) will be: "No way, buddy!"
Kids also want to be reassured that adults are different from playmates, that they can't speak to you the same way they would to another child. Respectful talk implies that adults are in charge, which means your child feels safe and doesn't have to guess about how to behave.
What to do: Insist that your child use polite words, even if he has to repeat the sentence three or four times to get it right. Some life lessons are like multiplication tables: They require constant repetition before they sink in.
That means you've got to resist the urge to snap back, "Don't you dare talk to me that way!" That's only showing him you think that kind of talk is effective, says Elizabeth Pantley, a parenting educator and author of The No-Cry Discipline Solution. "Instead, squat down to your child's level, look him in the eye, and calmly but firmly say, 'I'd like you to try again. How about 'Mom, I really want to play a bit longer on the playground,'" suggests Pantley.
If you can comply with his now-polite request, do so. Otherwise, say, "I hear you and I know what you want. But we don't have time to stay today. It's time to leave."
If your child mouths off to another adult, take him aside and give him the words to apologize. Remember: He's a rookie in the art of polite conversation. If he refuses to change his words, offer the apology yourself, and talk to your child later about how you expect him to speak to adults.
Breaking rules with a buddy
Why your child wants discipline: Children -- especially very young ones -- don't do well with peer pressure. They need you, the adult, to help enforce the house rules. And once your child's 5 or so, she'll be relieved to know she can use you as her excuse to get out of stuff she doesn't want to do ("That's against our rules -- my mom will just make us clean up"). It's a chance to teach your child how to handle peer pressure so she'll be ready when she's older and the stakes are higher, says Pantley.
What to do: Channel your inner actress and try to remain calm while telling the kids you're unhappy about, say, the way they've colored on the wall. It's tough, no doubt about it. It's tempting to flip when you know your child knows better, but it can tickle kids to know they got under your skin.
Sit the pair down and ask (sternly -- remember, this is discipline), "Where do we draw with crayons? Are walls the same as paper? What can you do now?" Then get out the cleaning supplies and show them how to scrub. Yes, you might have to do more later on, but rest assured: They've learned that when they make a mess, they clean it up.
If the kids have broken some other rule, like jumping on the bed or pestering the dog, you should still step in and tell them what's what, but you don't need to make up a punishment. Getting in trouble will chastise most kids. And you probably don't even need to send the other child home. "If you've handled the situation well, the kids will likely be sweet as pie afterward," says Pantley.
If your child seems downright relieved when you firmly step in, here's why: She can't verbalize it, but she may be thinking: "Thank goodness! The cavalry has arrived. I don't have to handle this battle alone."
And that's an important experience for her: When she's older, that feeling of safety and order will become the cornerstone of her own self-discipline.
