The man behind one of the most polarizing Twitter accounts wanted to make one thing clear before Wednesday's Cubs game.
"I am not going away from Twitter," Darren Rovell emphatically told the assembled crowd at Wrigley Field's Captain Morgan Club.
The Northwestern grad and ESPN sports business reporter was in town as a panelist for the Cubs' Social Media Night.
"Social media's a different art if you delve in it and it's part of your living," he told RedEye in an exclusive interview Wednesday. "I think over time I've figured out when to peek in and pop in a stat."
Rovell, who returned to ESPN last summer, has built a reputation as one of the more engaged members of the national media on social media.
His Twitter account, @darrenrovell, boasts more than 380,000 followers, a group he said was able to build largely because he invested the time and energy into paying attention to what complete strangers were saying.
"I subvert my ego," he said. "It's not all about me. I do try and get through [every tweet] a day. Sometimes it's 10- or 15,000. It's what I think the masses want to hear. If it's a question, I can answer it."
He's well aware that his social media style isn't for everyone.
"I try not to get involved in things that will get me fired," he said. "It is very difficult because there's a lot of people trolling you and punching up at you. I've learned over time to walk away from the computer."
When on the computer, he's established a reputation for tweeting random statistics that delve far beyond the box score and the bottom line. That's because he says when a story breaks, he's there to piece it back together into something different.
"I feel like sometimes I have a little bit more time," he said. "Everyone else is rushing to get out that Ryan Dempster is suspended. I have a little bit more time to be like 'he's fined $2,500, he makes 74,000 times a day, that's 3½ percent of his daily in-season pay.' I love that. Every time, I know it's gonna fly. That's the cool part of Twitter."
Sometimes the direction it flies isn't away from him, something he says he's aware of long before he presses send.
"Sometimes I know when I'm gonna put something up, people are gonna say 'oh, this is dumb,' and I'm not doing that to just feed [the trolls]," he said. "I've always put the beer stats and some of the cents per ounce in the ballpark. I know people are gonna love that or hate that."
It's that style and the fact he's willing to dole out credit where due that has earned him a legion of supporters.
"I've kind of turned people into like mini-mes," he said. "If you're walking through a mall and you see something like a jersey with a misspelling, you know I love that, I'll give you credit, I'm like the conduit. It's fulfilling to know that they know what I want, they kind of look for it because I've done it and then I put it out."
He doesn't take detractors too seriously because at the end of the day, they're just strangers behind keyboards.
"I think what people make of me, it's funny because those people don't really know me," he said. "Sometimes it's interesting the reason they dislike me. It seems like over the past year, I even realized that people dislike me because I cover the business of sports, because supposedly I take the passion out by boiling it down to just the hard numbers."
For as passionate as he is about social media, that energy extends to his alma mater. Rovell, who graduated cum laude from Northwestern, is still very much a Wildcats football fan who sees one thing in their future.
"Big Ten champs," he said emphatically.
As a sports business guy at Wrigley Field, Rovell said he stands squarely in the middle on the issue of whether to put a scoreboard in the outfield.
"I'm in favor of a good deal," he said. "I think something can be struck. I think that public sentiment is probably a little bit closer to the rooftop guys than maybe Tom Ricketts would want. I think that very easily changes with a winning team."

The New USA Today Will Somehow Be Even Less Newsier Than The Old USA Today
[There was a video here]
Good news for those of you who travel a lot and look forward to throwing away your hotel's complimentary USA Today every morning: USA Today is getting a massive redesign. How's it look? Well, I think we at Gawker know a thing or two about horrific redesigns, so let's evaluate!
New logo!
This paper has long been identified with stupid pie charts, so the AD WIZARDS at USA Today have rightly adopted the pie as their unifying logo. Look at that nice big dot in the corner of the paper. It's just waiting to be split into warring factions over which way Americans roll their toilet paper. Because circles bring us, like, all together, you know?
New font!
Thicker. Bolder. Logo-ier. This is a font designed to handle all the weighty topics shown in this video, like dead Steve Jobs! And guitars! And swimming! And stock film of street signs!
New white space!
God, look at all that open white space on the page. It's almost as if they don't want to fill their newspaper with news.
Bold new marketing language!
This video is like a bukkake of empty marketing platitudes. The new USA Today isn't simply a crappy newsapaper. It's "a forum for better understanding unity to make the USA truly one nation." It's a paper that is "here to help Americans do their thing, whatever that may be." Like, WHATEVER! There's a crisis in Libya. DO YOUR THING, AMERICA. Go windsurfing on land. Watch hipsters do handsprings! WHATEVER. The paper will reclaim "our leadership in visual storytelling," which is good because the text is usually inane, and try to, "help Americans live the life they've always imagined," which seems like an odd mission for a publication that doesn't have Oprah Winfrey on its cover every month. But no matter. The new USA Today is here! It's bolder. It's circle-ier. It will unite us all in the spirit of roundness! I look forward to not reading it at the continental breakfast buffet.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, released in 2007, was
directed by Julian Schnabel and is based on the book of the same
name. The film won a Bafta for best screenplay, a Golden Globe and
an award for best director at Cannes Film Festival.
In French with English subtitles, it tells the true story of
Elle magazine editor-in-chief, Jean-Dominique Bauby, who suffered a
brain stem cerebrovascular accident at the age of forty-three. He
consequently developed locked-in syndrome, a rare neurological
condition characterised by quadriplegia and an absence of verbal
communication but with preservation of eye movements and
The film opens with the blurry opening of Bauby's eyes as he
regains consciousness in a hospital room. We find ourselves sharing
his view of the world as he wakes up to his new surroundings. We
hear his internal voice attempt to answer the first questions from
staff before realising that they cannot hear him because he cannot
speak aloud. Very rapidly, his struggle to be understood becomes
the viewer's struggle as we are quite literally trapped inside his
head. From his personal viewpoint, we experience the various
professionals who come to help him, some better than others at
empathizing with him. In this context, we can feel the relief when
a speech and language therapist brings him a method that she
believes will help him to communicate. Initially negative, Bauby
soon finds a positive outlook on his situation and states that;
"apart from my eyes, two things aren't paralysed…my imagination and
my memory". In his mind, these are the two things symbolically
represented by the Butterfly, which remain free to roam, whereas
his body he represents as a Diving bell, in which his mind is
All of the devices used in filming succeed in putting us firmly
in the protagonist's place and this is the only viewpoint we are
given for the first 15 minutes of the film before we begin to see
Bauby from the outside, as a separate person. This technique has
the effect of trapping us inside his body too, until we are
released and able to view the world from our usual (in film,
multiple) perspectives. This moment occurs for him and us at the
point at which he is taken from his room for the first time and
wheeled down a corridor, seeing his image reflected in a pane of
glass as he is taken to a balcony and the fresh air. From this
point on, we move between his perspective of the world and our
The fact that Bauby must rely solely on his left eye to
communicate, and that he manages to express so much with it,
reminds us of just how much can be transmitted by non-verbal cues
in people with poor or non existent verbal speech. But most
impressive of all is the real time experience we are given of the
blinking alphabet dictation method that allows his thoughts to be
heard and his book to be written. We are left in no doubt as to the
enormous effort, determination and perseverance that was required
to bring this story to its audience.
As well as his progress in the hospital, the film pieces
together some of Bauby's life before his cerebrovascular accident,
with the help of intermittent flashbacks. One such flashback allows
us to see the tender and close relationship he has had with his
ageing father, which sets the scene for a particularly moving
moment later on when his father phones him in hospital and tries to
talk through his translator about his deepest feelings. Throughout
the film he receives a series of visits from friends and family,
each revealing a different reaction to his appearance and to the
communication difficulty. One friend, who had been held hostage in
Beirut for four years, sees a similarity between his own experience
of confinement and Bauby's entrapment in his body advising him to
"hold fast to the human inside of you and you'll survive". His
mistress is unable to visit him in contrast to the mother of his
children, from whom he is separated, so that the film is also about
the different reactions that his loved ones have to his
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly offers the viewer a clinical
case study of a rare neurological condition called locked-in
syndrome. It presents us with a patient centered view of the
extraordinary experience involved in living with such a disability
whilst highlighting his experience of the professionals he
encounters. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is already
recommended viewing for speech and language therapy students, but I
believe it should be seen as widely as possible by anyone who cares
for patients with any degree of impaired speech and movement, some
of who find themselves within the mental health care services.
In particular, the film reminds healthcare professionals of our
responsibility to treat every individual in our care with respect
and dignity, using our empathic skills to put ourselves in others
shoes, whether or not they can speak to us or communicate their
thoughts effectively. The film is very good at demonstrating how
small actions by a care assistant can have a huge effect on Bauby,
when one turns on the TV, which is showing children's cartoons, as
she leaves his room, and another turns off the TV when it is
showing a football game that Bauby is actually enjoying enormously.
In both cases, he is powerless to get his needs met. These scenes
might offer a perfect starting point for teaching students from a
variety of backgrounds about how to develop empathy in a
therapeutic setting.
For anyone wanting more detailed clinical information about this
condition, it is discussed in a review article published in the BMJ
in 2005 (Smith E, Delargy M.
Locked-in syndrome. BMJ 2005; 330: 406-09).
For another excellent patient centered account of locked-in
syndrome and the distinction between it and persistent vegetative
state, the BMJ published
a very good clinical review, in 2005, written by a
young man called Nick Chisholm, who suffered a series of brain stem
cerebrovascular accidents after suffering concussion during a rugby
match. As both the articles explain, locked in syndrome is caused
by a lesion in the brain stem, commonly caused by a vascular
incident, trauma or by extensive demyelination which affects the
brain's peripheral connections. As such, I would highly recommend
this film for anyone interested in neuropsychology or
At a time when the topic of teaching medical students empathic
skills is being increasingly discussed, this film offers one of the
best opportunities yet for stepping in to a patient's shoes and
experiencing life from the other side of the bed.
Any medical students interested in exploring the relationship
between medicine and film further, may want to visit one of the
many free events taking place, during May, at locations around the
UK as part of Medfest

theme is 'the Image of Doctors'.

Untangling Operation Fast And Furious

Untangling Operation Fast And Furious
TUCSON, Ariz. -- It's summer's rainy season here now on the southern edge of Arizona, where the state meets Mexico. A light rain is just beginning to fall down a dirt road in a place called Mesquite Seep, a spring that runs through Peck Canyon.
Down in that canyon, U.S. Border Patrol Brian Terry was shot in the back. He died at the scene.
Tom Mitchell owns the last home on this road. It sits like some lonely outpost overlooking Peck Canyon. He woke up that night to sirens and racing trucks outside.
"I walked out and talked to them, they said we had a shooting. I didn't know it was a Border Patrol person. Found that out the next day," he said.
Agent Terry was part of a five-man crew, a tactical Border Patrol unit called BORTAC. A group of Mexican bandits were hunting drug smugglers for their marijuana loads in the desert when they ran into the agents. The agents identified themselves, one shot at the bandits with a beanbag gun. The bandits opened fire. Terry was shot in the back, once. A bandit was hit. He survived. He was arrested.
The other four men ran off into the night.
Reward For Arrest
Federal criminal investigations are by nature a quiet affair. This one was even moreso. Suspects weren't named, no details were released. Even court documents were obscured. A year and a half after Terry's murder, the FBI finally identified the fugitives.
They haven't given much information about where they think the fugitives are. But U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy said law enforcement here has been working with the Mexican Army and federal police to arrest the men. She said they came close twice this year. The second attempt was made in June.
A month later, they put a bounty on the men for $250,000 each, or $1 million total.
"And if these arrests are made in Mexico, we will seek their extradition," Duffy said.
Assuming the men managed to make it back to Mexico, that would have been a 12-mile run through the canyons and hills of southern Arizona, then across the border before they reached the outskirts of Nogales, Sonora. It would have been midnight or later on a Tuesday night. The streets would have been nearly deserted.
'A Soldier's Soldier'
Thousands attended Terry's memorial service in Tucson. And when they talk about him, Terry is described as a soldier's soldier.
Border Patrol Tucson sector chief Rick Barlow eulogized his agent briefly the afternoon after he was killed.
"Agent Terry had a proud history of serving his country. Before Border Patrol, he served three years in United States Marine Corps."
Friends say he carried a poem in his pack, One Warrior's Creed. It begins: If today is to be the day, so be it.
And in the meantime, federal agents were beginning to learn just what had happened.
Guns At The Murder Scene
Along with the wounded man at the crime scene, the bandits left two AK-47 rifles behind. Those weapons had been purchased in Phoenix by a low-level gun buyer. Another federal agency, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, had allowed that illegal sale to go through.
As it turned out, the ATF and prosecutors had been allowing guns to walk for years. In an earlier gunwalking case, Operation Wide Receiver, an informant hired by the ATF wore a wire to record a crew of young men buying weapons from him:
The wire is scratchy, barely audible. Then: "'Do you deliver these yourself?' 'Sometimes they come and get them. Yeah, that's the hard part is getting them across.'"
Peter Forcelli is an ATF agent working in Phoenix. He came forward after Terry was killed.
"And now I'll fast forward to Operation Fast and Furious itself. ATF agents assigned to the Phoenix field division with the concurrence of their chain of command walked guns," he told a Congress subcommittee. He said his bosses were excited about the gunwalking idea.
The question is, just how high did that excitement go?
Congress Wants Answers
The ATF's gunwalking plan raises some questions. Was the plan orchestrated by the Department of Justice in Washington? Did officials there know about it?
That's the question at the heart of the current Congressional hearings where Attorney General Eric Holder was held in contempt. The hearings started with the taint of a scandal. More than a year later, the scandal is still there but now it's taken on the air of something unrevealed.
On the one hand, the case is still being investigated by the Office of Inspector General (OIG). On the other hand, Congress wants answers now.
Tony Coulson ran the Drug Enforcement Administration's Tucson office before he retired in 2010.
"Unfortunately, this hurt. And I don't know if ATF will ever be able to recover from Fast and Furious," he said.
Coulson revealed that other American agents had tried to stop the same guns ATF was allowing to slip into Mexico. In fact, some of those arguments took place right at the border.
"As long as this stretches out before the whole truth comes out, it's just going to get worse and worse in terms of law enforcement's credibility," Coulson said.
'Beyond Embarrassing'
The official answer so far has been that Fast and Furious was strictly a Phoenix operation and that the agency's officials in Phoenix created it because the the federal prosecutors in Arizona were turning down their cases. So the agents tried to build stronger cases by letting the sales go through and letting the guns turn up at crime scenes.
Another question that raises is about the Mexican government itself. How much did it know?
Carlos Canino was ATF's attaché in Mexico City when it all began. He now heads the agency's Tucson office.
He says not even he knew when he was working in Mexico, let alone the Mexican government.
"They'd tell you, 'hey wait a minute, so you guys knew these guys were trafficking guns but did nothing to stop it?'" Canino said. "I was asked by the Mexican attorney general herself. Beyond embarrassing. Number one, professionally embarrassing, two personally embarrassing because she is a personal friend. She is a great ally of the United States."
He said Americans agents in Mexico started seeing a large number of guns from Phoenix turning up at crime scenes there.
"We were told they were working a significant firearms trafficking case and everything was under control. I still, every day when I think about it, I don't know why they did this," Canino said.
Making Changes
The Justice Department has brought in a new federal prosecutor for Arizona. It's brought in Canino to run Tucson and Canino's boss, Thomas Atterbury. He says one of the concerns for the ATF is that the U.S. has no federal firearms trafficking statute.
America Abroad
This story was produced with America Abroad, public media's home for long-form reporting, analysis and dialogue about international affairs.
"Firearms are a legal commodity. It's like buying refrigerators. Until they get in the wrong hands, firearms are legal. It's not like a kilo of dope that's always illegal. We walk a fine line with the Second Amendment and keeping guns out of the hands of some of the most dangerous, ruthless people in the world," Atterbury said.
He hopes a new reporting rule implemented last year and approved by a federal judge will help. The reporting rule applies to the four border states -- California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Licensed dealers must now tell the ATF when someone tries to buy more than two long rifles in a week's time.
Meanwhile, the OIG is due to release its findings at the end of this summer.

Tennessee women fail to make Final Four for 5th straight season, falling 86-78 to Louisville
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
OKLAHOMA CITY – When the final buzzer sounded and Tennessee's rousing comeback had fallen short, senior Taber Spani dropped to her knees and started sobbing.
The Lady Vols' season was over in the regional finals for the third straight season, following an 86-78 loss to upstart Louisville on Tuesday night.
For most programs, three straight trips to the round of eight would be an accomplishment. But Tennessee, home of eight national championships and 18 Final Four appearances, isn't just any program.
"Any Tennessee team that doesn't make a Final Four doesn't reach expectations. That's the amazing and the great thing about this program is no matter what the transition was, no matter what it looked like, no matter what excuse you might put it out or if you're a young team or not, the bar is the Final Four. And I think that's what makes this program special," Spani said.
"To come short of that is disappointing."
Two nights after taking down Brittney Griner and defending national champion Baylor, Shoni Schimmel scored 24 points the fifth-seeded Cardinals (28-8) built a 20-point lead before withstanding a second-half comeback by the powerhouse Lady Vols (27-8) and celebrating another big victory.
When it was over, the Cardinals huddled at center court and celebrated. Tennessee headed home with a third straight loss in the regional finals, failing to make the Final Four for a fifth straight year.
"We ruined the entire party," Louisville coach Jeff Walz said. "We're the ugly ducklings that ruined the party. No one gave us a chance and we shocked everybody. It's a journey and we're going to continue."
Spani led the Lady Vols with 20 points, and Meighan Simmons and Kamiko Williams chipped in 12 apiece. Tennessee's season began with an uncharacteristically low ranking instead of the usually lofty expectations, with longtime assistant Holly Warlick replacing NCAA wins record-holder Pat Summitt.
"We thought we had a good year, but we didn't have a great year. That's just the nature of our program and our expectations," Warlick said.
"Whether you're Pat Summitt or myself, it's just what we're all about. It's in our blood. It's in our makeup."
Louisville joined the school's men's team in the Final Four, marking the 10th time that a program had both teams make it that far. Only Connecticut has won both titles in the same season, in 2004 — the last time the women's champion was crowned in New Orleans.
The Cardinals became only the second No. 5 seed to reach the national semifinals, joining Southwest Missouri State's 2001 team that featured guard Jackie Stiles, the all-time leading scorer in NCAA history. Only seven teams outside of the top four seeds have ever made it to the Final Four since the NCAA tournament started in 1982.
No team seeded higher than fourth has ever won a game at the Final Four.
But the seemingly impossible hasn't stopped this group of Cardinals yet.
First, they took down Griner and her Baylor team that had lost just once in 75 games. Then, it was the eight-time national champion Lady Volunteers.
"No one wanted to see us beat Baylor and Tennessee and we did both of those and now we're going to the Final Four," Schimmel said.
Next up is a Sunday showdown in New Orleans against California, the Spokane regional champion.
The Cardinals' only other Final Four trip was in 2009, ending in a loss to Big East rival Connecticut in the championship game.
Louisville rode a hefty rebounding advantage and another solid 3-point shooting outing — especially when compared to Tennessee's 0 for 9 start — to take a 49-29 edge 90 seconds after halftime following back-to-back 3s from Antonita Slaughter and Schimmel. That same tandem combined for 12 of the Cardinals' 16 treys, matching the NCAA tournament record, in an epic upset of Baylor.
Spani finally broke Tennessee's 3-point drought right after that, and the Lady Vols were able to chip away at the 20-point deficit. Their full-court pressure, which wasn't tight enough to prevent over-the-top passes for layup s in the first half, started to be effective.
Tennessee gave up just one basket over an 8-minute span, and Williams' short jumper at the end of an 18-6 rally got the Lady Vols as close as 68-65 with 4:28 remaining.
Spani missed a 3-pointer from the right wing that would have tied it on the next possession, and Tennesee's comeback fizzled after that.
"We just needed to make that 3 to get the momentum, and it just didn't go down," Warlick said.
Schimmel had a pair of driving layups and sister Jude Schimmel hit a 3-pointer and set up Slaughter for a reverse layup in a 9-3 burst for Louisville. Even when Simmons, who started out 1 for 22 in the two games in Oklahoma City, hit three late 3-pointers, it wasn't enough for Tennessee.
"We believed in each other, our coaching staff believed in us and we just stuck together as a family. We just bonded and I love that about my teammates and my coaching staff. ... I'll take this team over the past three teams that I've been on because I've never seen so much fight in a group of girls and I absolutely love that and appreciate it," Williams said.
"No matter what, they always had our back and we knew we could count on them. Unfortunately, we fell short today but we fought and that's all I could ask for."
Louisville came out firing from long range again and connected four times in first seven attempts while building an early 21-11 advantage. Then, it was a sticky 1-3-1 zone defense that propelled Louisville on an 8-0 run, keeping the Lady Vols scoreless for a 5½ minute stretch, to expand the lead out to 31-14 after Sherrone Vails' putback with 3:51 to go until halftime.
Just like in the previous round, when a 19-point lead disappeared before Monique Reid's winning free throws in the final seconds, the Cardinals had to hang on for dear life at the end.

A controversial study published in the New England Journal of Medicine that raises questions about the value of routine mammogram screenings is just the latest in a series of papers raising alarms over some forms of cancer treatment.
Earlier this year, another study concluded that most patients diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer will live just as long if they simply watch their cancers rather than have them surgically removed.
At the root of both studies is a newly developing view of early cancer diagnosis, particularly for prostate and breast cancer. Some epidemiologists and biostatisticians like Dr. Donald Berry of the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and Dr. H. Gilbert Welch of Dartmouth's Geisel School of Medicine, argue that broad-based screening has resulted in over-diagnosis of cancer.
The problem, they say, is that some early cancers develop into large malignant tumors, while others regress and never become a problem. While these small initial clusters of cells once escaped the notice of doctors, they are now detected by sophisticated screening.

Title text: 'Why don't you just point it at their eye directly?' 'What is this, 2007?'
Black Hat makes an attachment for eyeglasses which shines a laser light at people using Google Glass. The quote "The best defense is an indiscriminate offense" plays off the adage "The best defense is a good offense". Black Hat's goal seems to be to interfere with the Google Glass user potentially recording the person with the laser, and possibly blinding Google Glass users, undermining the project. By mailing one to the children of every Google executive (likely to be Google Glass users), he's clearly aiming to disrupt the entire Google Glass project. Silicon Valley is a place where many technologically up-to-date people live who are more likely to use Google Glass.
The "viral marketing campaign" excuse seems to play off how battery-powered LED placards were mistaken for terrorism in the 2007 Boston bomb scare. He pretends that his terrorism is actually a viral marketing campaign, but seems to have not thought this excuse through. He then tries to get them to look into a laser light.
The title text shows the irony between Black Hat's needlessly complicated technical solution, and his apparent hate of Google Glass, a relatively new technology. In addition, he remarks that he wouldn't do something as old-fashioned as shining a laser in peoples' eyes, as this does not live up to his technical expertise.
However, he is clearly planning to shine a laser through the peephole, which would have the same effect on the police officers.
- [Two police officers stand at an apartment door. The female officer is holding a pair of glasses with something attached to it. We will see later that Black Hat is in the apartment.]
- Female officer: Police. Open up. Did you make this glasses attachment?
- Black Hat (through door): Oh, yeah.
- [Black Hat is sitting at his laptop.]
- Police officer: What's it do?
- Black Hat: It detects when someone near you is wearing Google Glass and shines a laser pointer at their eyepiece.
- Police officer: Why??
- Black Hat: The best defense is an indiscriminate offense.
- [Cut back to officers outside the apartment.]
- Male officer: It seems you've mailed these devices to people across Silicon Valley, including the children of every Google executive.
- Black Hat: Yeah. It's a viral marketing campaign for an upcoming movie.
- Male officer: What movie?
- Black Hat: Haven't decided yet. Anything good coming out this fall?
- Male officer: Sir, open the door.
- Black Hat: First stare at the peephole for a sec.

Could someone explain the title text, please? I'm afraid I don't understand the irony mentioned. 126.96.36.199 11:37, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
Yes. And also why 2007? Not like him to pick a random year. Was it something to do with the new laser classification and warning/labeling regulations that went into place that year? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_safety) -- Drjoe047 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- It should be the iPhone, the first generation was released on June 29, 2007. It was a similar technical revolution as Google Glass will be.--Dgbrt (talk) 13:12, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
I don't think that the explanation needs to include the description of Black Hat. He has his own page. Regarding his desire not to blind people, he's about to shine a laser in the police officers' eyes. He has no problem blinding people. In addition, I don't think the title text is ironic. Black Hat is a hacker. He's always embraced technology. He just embraces it his way. -- Theo (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- Wouldn't Google Glass be a nuisance for Black Hat? If everyone goes around always recording everything, it gets much harder to pull off nefarious plans in secret... 18.104.22.168 17:11, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
"The best defense is an discriminate offense." Might this be a play on the idiom "The best defense is a good offense"? The "indiscriminate" part strongly reminds me of NSA's justification that their massive surveillance program was not warrantless search & seizure because it's indiscriminate, i.e. no one person is targeted. Kind of like in this comic, where the device automatically targets any nearby Glass user but no one user(s) in particular. 220.127.116.11 08:46, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
- Dunno about the NSA reference, but it is an obvious play on that adage. I've added a one-sentence explanation of the reference and a link to the Wikipedia page. --V2Blast (talk) 06:08, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
Could Black Hat's attachment be for Google Glasses? Somehow the attachment has to see the targets and process this information ... The Kids will be running around and shooting each other. Sebastian --188.8.131.52 10:12, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
The explanation should be changed in order to remove a number of errors, inaccuracies and grammatical faults.
1. The laser is aimed at the eyepiece of the device, not at the eye of the wearer
2. Therefore it could not blind the wearer
3. No explanation of why mailing them to the children of google executives would disrupt the project.
5. Clumsy double use of the nothing phrase "plays off".
6. Unsubstantiated and extremely unlikely link to a real news event.
7. Starting the final paragraph with the word 'However'.
8. No explanation of the reference to the year 2007.
9. Use of the word "hate" seems misplaced. Black Hat is unemotionally evil.
Go for it. 18.104.22.168 02:39, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
The reason I left that incomplete template there, with only "Incomplete?", is because it was there earlier, and I didn't know what was incomplete about it. 0100011101100001011011010110010101011010011011110110111001100101 (talk page) 23:24, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
Regarding #3 above: Children likes toys. Glasses with a laser pointer attached looks like a toy. Children would run around using and playing with these glasses/toys. They would eventually meet their parents. Their parents being Google executives, there's a high probability they would be wearing Google Glasses. They would be aware of the annoyance created by Black Hat. Without being able to fight back this annoyance, they would feel best to shut down the Google Glass project. 18.104.22.168 04:25, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

[40-52] Jame's Maraudon Guide
Jame's Maraudon Instance Guide
Maraudon is a beautiful instance located in Desolace, it is made for a group of 5 players and can be very rewarding when done the right way. It is quite a big instance but the cool thing is that you can do half of it (takes about 3 hours) and the other half another day without having to clear all the way again. Basically the first half of the instance is where you will find and complete the quest that rewards you with the Scepter of Celebras. Right-clicking the scepter will teleport you directly to the 2nd half of Maraudon, where the strongest boss mobs are (and where the best loot is, mostly). Thus making Maraudon a very interesting instance that you can run several times until you got all the rewards you want from it! Follow this guide, and you will
Level recommended
- For the first half: 47+
- For the 2nd half: 49+
Group compostion
- Healer: Priest or restoration specced druid
- Tank: Warrior > Paladin/druid bear
- AE class: Mage is the best choice followed by warlock. Try to have one of these, it will really help.
- Try to keep it down to two melee classes (Warrior + Rogue for exemple). Maraudon is not so melee friendly, several mobs (like the Princess) are tough for melees.
- You MUST have at least one range attack class (Mage, Warlock, Hunter, Shaman, Druid/Priest if they aren't your main healer). The Creeping Sludges will require kiting (will explain that in detail), so you need at least 1 range attack class, preferably two.
Quest gathering
- [42] Shadowshard Fragments [Shareable] From Archmage Tervosh at Theramore Keep in Dustwallow Marsh.
- [47] Vyletongue Corruption [Not Shareable] From Talendria at Nijel's Point in Desolace. This quest has been made easier since patch 1.12, so go for it.
- [51] Corruption of Earth and Seed [Shareable][Main Quest] From Keeper Marandis at Nijel's Point in Desolace.
- [42] Shadowshard Fragments [Shareable] From Uthel'Nay at the Valley of Spirts in Orgrimmar.
- [47] Vyletongue Corruption [Not Shareable] From Vark Battlescar at Shadowprey Village in Desolace. This quest has been made easier since patch 1.12, so go for it.
- [51]Corruption of Earth and Seed [Shareable][Main Quest] From Selendra south of Shadowprey Village in Desolace.
- [47] Twisted Evils [Shareable] From Willow in at Kormek's Hut in Desolace (62,39), northeast of the Kodo Graveyard.
- [48] The Pariah's Instructions [Not Shareable] From Centaur Pariah in Desolace. He wanders from (50,86) to (43,84), that's in between the Gelkis Village and Mannorok Coven.
Where is Maraudon?
Before going in:
I'd suggest binding yourself in Desolace. At Nijel's Point for Alliance, at Shadowprey Village for Horde. The only way out of Maraudon when you are deep in is to use hearthstone, mage portal or death. So it's much more convenient to hearthstone to desolace so you can turn in your quests after you are done with Maraudon.
Alliance: From Nijel's Point go southwest until the entrance to the Valley of Spears (40,60), which is located west of the Kodo Graveyard. Go through the valley of spears until (38,57), there stands the gate to Maraudon.
Horde: Go east from Shadowprey Village until (29,74), then go north and through the Valley of Spears until (31,61). There stands the meeting stone and the entrance to Maraudon further up.
1. The Amulet of Spirits and the 1st Kahn
After entering the gates of Maraudon, go through the first tunnel until you find a centaur with the name "The Nameless Prophet". Kill him and loot the Amulet of Spirits from him. You can find The Nameless Prophet anywhere between the entrance and the fork to the crystal tunnels. As soon as you kill The Nameless Prophet he respawns instantly somewhere else.
Put the Amulet of Spirits on a hotkey.
Then go further in and you'll be at the first fork. To the left you'll see purple crystals, to the right orange crystals, and straight ahead is an arch with 2 centaur statues. Go straight ahead until you find a non agressive centaur named Spirit of Kolk. Use the Amulet of Spirits on him, this will make him agressive, kill him and loot the Gem of the First Kahn.
Note: Behind Kolk is a room with a pedestal. It's on this pedestal that you have to stand and click on your Scepter of Celebras to be teleported to the 2nd half of Maraudon. But you don't have the scepter... yet
2. The Orange crystal path
Go back to the fork and this time go to the tunnel with the orange crystals, in the first cave you'll find a friendly NPC centaur named Cavindra, get the quest [49] Legends of Maraudon from her. It is the quest which allows you to forge the Teleport Scepter I told you about before.
Just a bit further in and around the corner to the left you'll find a red pool, if you want to do the quest [47] Vyletongue Corruption, fill up the Cerulean Vial you should have in your inventory (a black potion looking thingy).
Then from the red pool, if you look in the northeast direction, you'll be facing two ways: one to the right going down, and one to the left going slightly up. Take the left one, and go to the end of it (39,57), you'll find the 3rd Kahn there next to a big crystal. Use the Amulet of Spirits on him, kill him and loot the Gem of the 3rd Kahn. From the big crystal look towards the east and you should see a tunnel. Go through this tunnel you'll find the instance portal quickly, zone in.
Now you should follow the orange path (path 1 on the map)
3. To Noxxion
After zoning in, start clearing your way towards the area where Noxxion is.
It's time for your group to take a decision: Do the quest [47] Vyletongue Corruption or not? It's optional, but this quest has been made much easier since patch 1.12, so you should go for it for some easy extra xp reward.
If your group decided to do the [47] Vyletongue Corruption quest, you should be looking for little plants looking like this:
You just have to stand next to one and right-click your Cerulean Vial. These plants are only found on this side of the instance, from here until the poison falls. Everytime you cleanse a plant, 3 elementals will spawn, they are not elite so it's really easy to deal with them.
Basically you have to find 8 of these red plants and do that 8 times to complete the quest, and the whole group gets a quest update for each plant.
On your way down you'll most likely find the 5th Kahn sooner or later, kill him and loot the Gem of the 5th Kahn.
At some point you'll face the following mobs:
If you don't read the following, your group will be destroyed.
Info: Creeping Sludges come in packs of 2, 3 or 4, they must NOT be melee'd. They pulse a 200 dmg poison area attack every 2 seconds to anyone that is in close to them. So imagine 3 of these in a bunch, pulsing 600 dmg every 6 seconds on all of your melees.
How to: Let your mage or warlock do the initial pull with an AoE (Blizzard, Rain of Fire for exemple). The Creeping sludges walk extremely slow, they can be easily kited. (To kite something means to kill it without ever being in melee range, using ranged attacks). Basically have all your classes with range attacks use them (shaman shocks, hunter bow shots, etc) while running these Creeping Sludges in a large circle. This of course means you'll have to have cleared a rather large space before pulling.
They are actually very easy to kill once your group knows the drill, just don't let them get close to you and fire at will!
Once the creeping sludges are split, your melees can go chase one (only if it's far away enough from the others) and melee it fast, if they get low on health they can move away and wait for a heal.
So that's how you deal with Creeping Sludges
Normally, there is only 4 Creeping sludges on your way to the larva spewer, and you should be able to get them by pairs if you pull smart.
After you got those 4 Creeping Sludges clear, take the tunnel to the left and you should be in the room with the Larva Spewer. Pull the two Barbed Lashers in the way and also wait on the centaur patrol if you didn't catch it yet. (2 elite centaurs, which are humanoids so they can be crowd controlled).
You'll be facing a swarm of non-elite larvas and a Larva Spewer. The Larva Spewer spews an elite larva and keeps respawning it so it's useless to kill the elite larva, just let it wander away. When the elite larva is away, pull the small larvas and AE the hell out of them while one person (a melee preferably) goes to the larva spewer and destroys it. (Takes a click and 5 seconds channeling without being interrupted).
One word about AE though, if you have a mage and if that mage uses his/her AE effects like Arcane Explosion in order to kill the bunch of larvas, the mage will take A LOT of damage. So make it clear with your healer that while the mage is using AE on the larvas he needs to be perma spam healed with fast heals and preferably shielded (with PW:S). This is really essential, your healer must pay full attention, he can't be watching TV and start healing after 30 seconds... the mage will loose health rapidly, so brief your healer well.
Once you got the Larva Spewer destroyed, clear your way down to Noxxion.
Noxxion is the toughest boss of the first half of Maraudon, but he's actually quite easy if you got a sharp mage (or warlock) and a decent healer.
Here's how the fight should go:
- Tank charges Noxxion and everyone starts damaging him
- After about 10 seconds, Noxxion will split into 8 Noxxion Spawns. Your healer (who should be standing back) must shield the mage/warlock immediatly and then focus on healing him. The mage/warlock should immediately start to AE the spawns, the rest of the group must of course help with any ae attack they got.
- Once the spawns are dead, Noxxion will repear, your tank must try to get aggro on it as best as he can, and others should use their long cooldown damage abilities at this point. If your group has sufficient dps, Noxxion will die before he gets to split up a second time. If he does split up again, well don't panic, just repeat what you did before and clear the spawns.
Noxxion mostly drops nature resist gear, but if you are lucky (15% chance) he can drop this very nice caster wand:
Here is the nature resist gear, for the Ahn'Qiraj lovers:
Most importantly, don't forget to loot the Celebrian Rod from Noxxion. Congratulations, your Scepter of Celebras is 1/3 complete!
4. To Razorlash (Optional)
Don't bother with Razorlash unless you are interested in one of the following drops, it's mostly Nature Resist gear, for those who plan to go to Ahn'Qiraj later on, this should be interesting:
If you decide to skip Razorlash, go to the next paragraph. If you decide to go for Razorlash, there isn't much you need to know besides:
If you encounter pulls consisting of 3 Constrictor Vines and 1 Barbed Lasher, make sure you kill the Barbed lasher first, they are really annoying with their AE knockdown ability.
Besides this, there's no real difficulty going to Razorlash, who's also quite an easy kill. Send tank in, heal tank, dps Razorlash until hit points = 0%. That's it
5. To the Violet Crystal Path
Go backtrack, zone out of the instance, go back to the fork but this time go through the violet crystal tunnel. At the first fork go right, you'll find the other instance portal, don't get in though yet. On the opposite side of the instance portal you'll see a bridge with two blue flames, go over the bridge, after the bridge go left and then a u-turn left again down a small slope which takes you to another bridge (a smaller one). At the other hand of the bridge you'll find a small shrine, and the 2nd Kahn. Kill it and loot the Gem of the 2nd Kahn.
Before you go to the instance portal we passed on the way, kill Shadowshard Smashers or Shadowshard Rumblers (those rock elementals) in the violet crystal cavern until you got 10 Shadowshard Fragments. It's a very quickly done quest as the elementals always drop a fragment, and the whole group can loot it!
When you're done with that, zone in the instance. You should follow the violet path (Path 2 on map)
6. To Lord Vyletongue
The way to Lord Vyletongue shouldn't be a problem. The hardest pulls you'll meet consist of 2 Satyrs (elite) and 4 Imps (non-elite). Let your warrior charge a Satyr and then your casters should go in and AE the imps.
On your way to Lord Vyletongue, you should find the 4th Kahn. Kill it and loot the Gem of the 4th Kahn. Open your inventory and right click one of the gems, they will assemble into the Amulet of Spirit and forge the Amulet of Union. You just completed the quest [48] The Pariah's Instructions (and made some space in your bags by getting rid of the 5 gems).
When you are in front of Lord Vyletongue's building, don't rush in carelessly, there are 2 stealthed satyrs guarding it's entrance, pull them and kill them. Then the only thing you'll be facing will be Lord Vyletongue and his two stealthed guards (those you'll have to fight at the same time as Lord Vyletongue).
Lord Vyletongue is actually a pretty easy fight. If you got a warlock, banish one of the satyrs, kill the other satyr and then kill Lord Vyletongue. If you don't have a warlock, just kill the two stealthed satyrs first and then deal with Lord Vyletongue.
The best way to deal with this battle is to kill the stealthed guards first while your tank is on Lord Vyletongue. Lord Vyletongue actually doesn't hurt that much but is annoying to kill because he teleports about. So save him for last.
Loot the Celebrian Diamond from him, thus making your Scepter of Celebras 2/3rd complete. Lord Vyletongue can also drop some interesting items:
7. Celebras the Cursed
After Lord Vyletongue, keep going until you reach the point marked as "drop off" on the map. You'll have to go through a couple more of those "creeping sludge pulls", but it shouldn't be a problem for your group anymore. If you are lucky on your way to the drop off, you might find Meshlok the Harvester, he is a rare spawn, he looks like a cavern lurker (those ugly treant looking things) and he wanders in the yellow waters before the drop off, as shown on the map. He can drop some good stuff:
Including a decent NR piece:
Sadly he's not there most of the time, but anyway, time to move on.
Go to the "drop off" point and jump down, you might aggro a cavern lurker when jumping down, kill it while staying close to the waterfall. Go west while staying close to the southern wall, you can skip several thrash pulls this way. Keep going until you see Celebras the Cursed.
Celebras the Cursed is guarded by 3 non-elite treants, and during the fight he will attempt to summon more treants. Thankfully Celebras can be interrupted, counterspelled and stunned. So make sure everyone in your group uses their spell interrupting abilities on Celebras so he doesn't get to summon more treants, or you will be swarmed.
No matter what, ignore the treants and just kill Celebras the Cursed as fast as possible, then kill the treants with AEs.
Celebras the Cursed can drop the following items:
Including a nature resist piece:
After Celebras is defeated, he will reappear as a non agressive NPC named Celebras the Redeemed, talk to him, go through his dialogue, take his quest, watch him walk to the altar and forge the Scepter of Celebras, complete the quest and voila!
You now got your Scepter of Celebras, which will allow you in your future Maraudon runs to skip all the previous area and start the instance after Celebras the Cursed!
So now there is about 2-3 hours to go if you want to get all the remaining bosses, including the most important one: Princess Theredras. If your group is still up for 2-3 more hours, go to the next paragraph of the walkthrough. If not, you can get out of maraudon and form another group and directly teleport them to the 2nd half of Maraudon and continue on the next paragraph!
8. Earthsong Falls
This is where you end up after using the Scepter of Celebras from the pedestal behind the 1st Kahn, or after going further past Celebras the Cursed and jumping down the waterfalls. Follow the yellow path from the map for now.
You'll quickly find some Thessaly Hydras roaming around the cavern south of earthsong falls. They hit reasonably hard and have one special ability you must be careful with, they knockback every now and then anyone in too close range. So you want to avoid being knocked back into more of those hydras.
Melees: always fight so your back is facing a wall or a safe place (like the waterfalls from where you arrived).
Casters: Fight at max casting range so as to not get hit by the knockback.
Clear all the Hydras on your way until you reach the tunnel to the south, and make sure you don't skip any of those hydras, because some of them roam up to the tunnel, you don't want them to add on you while you're already dealing with the next pull.
The next pull consists of 3 Subterranean Diemetradons, they are beasts so they can be sheeped or hibernated. Their special ability is an area effect 10 seconds silence. Casters: Stay at max casting range.
Once you've dealth with the 3 Diemetradon, wait for the first patrol of elementals. Elemental patrols are either composed of 2 Theradrim Guardian or 1 Theradrim Guardian and small elementals (non elite). If you got a warlock in the group, they can banish the elementals, making it easier. If not, you must know that when a big elemental dies, it splits in 4 tiny elementals. What my group usually does is kill the two big elementals and then AE the 8 tiny elementals. It works well.
After you've taken care of the 1st rock elemental patrol, go further in and kill the next 3 pulls which consist of diemetradon again, then go up the slope and wait for the 2nd elem patrol, kill it. Now you have a choice, you can either decide to skip Tinkerer Gizlock or not. If you decide to skip Tinkerer Gizlock, go directly to paragraph #10.
9. Tinkerer Gizlock (Optional)
If you want to kill Tinkerer Gizlock (read: if your group is interested in one of his drops), take the tunnel to the north, the one with snake packs called "Deep Borer" and follow the pink path on the map. These snakes are easy, with or without AEs. After the first snake pull you'll be entering a larger room with a ramp going down, try to get the rock patrol out of the way as soon as possible, then work your way down until you end up facing a goblin named Tinkerer Gizlock.
He is an easy fight, just make sure non-melees stay at max range from him, he is a caster and casts some AEs. He doesn't have much HPs for a boss, burn him down quickly. He drops decent items including a very good caster sword:
After that, go backwards and back on the Princess path, until you reach your next choice. Kill Landslide or not? If you decide to skip Landslide, just go to the last paragraph and stay on the princess path (yellow path on map).
10. Landslide
Go further up the 2nd part of the slope (to the south) and wait on the 3rd elemental patrol, dispatch it. Now you should have some big giants in sight, named Primordial Behemoth. Go over the bridge and kill the first one if he is alone, if not wait for the behemoth patrol to wander off, nothing much to say about these giants besides they hit rather hard.
About the Primordial Behemoth patrol, you should lookout for it but this giant walks really slow, so you should see it coming from afar and be able to pull it solo. After having killed the first giant after the bridge, you can decide either to skip Landslide or to go directly for the princess. If you decide to skip Landslide (nobody in your group wants any of his drops), skip the following and go directly to paragraph #11.
If you do want to kill Landslide, follow the green path from the map, work your way up the slope. Your last pull before Landslide will be 2 giants at the same time, I strongly advise that you assign one tank to each giant before engaging (your secondary tank can be a shaman, paladin, druid, or even a warlock/hunter pet, but just make sure the giant won't be on the loose).
After that you'll be facing Landslide, the giant boss. He hits hard, has a lot of HPs, and has two abilities you must know of:
- 1. He knockbacks his main target (the person on top of his aggro list, most likely your tank) far away. So your tank must position himself with his back to a wall, that way he won't get punted far away and lose aggro.
- 2. He does a wide area warstomp, which stuns everyone for a painful 5 seconds. Casters should try to fight Landslide at max range to avoid the stun. Also, make sure to never let your tank go low on health, because if you get stunned at that moment, odds are your tank will die during the 5 sec stun.
With that in mind, Landslide shouldn't be a problem, and he drops some nice items:
Including this nifty plate helm, which is also good nature resist gear:
11. Princess Theradras and Rotgrip
Go towards Princess Theradras, follow the yellow path. Pull the 4 diemetradons and kill them, then go further in and you'll be entering an open area called "Zaetar's Grave". Wait for the rock elemental patrol and kill it. Then you have to start clearing your way through pairs of giants. You can skip the first 2 behemoths to the left, all the others you will have to kill on your way down the slope leading to Princess Theradras. Shortly you should be facing the charming Princess Theradras. Here is how you kill her:
- Every 20 seconds or so she does a point blank area effect with several waves that knockback anyone in melee range and also damage them.
- Every now and then she will randomly cast fear on people, it can't be dispelled, but undeads can use will of the forsaken, warriors in berserker stance (not recommended if you are tanking though) can use berserker rage. If you got a dwarf priest with you, he can use fear ward on your tank, it works!
- Every now and then she'll throw a rock randomly at a ranged attacker, disrupting their casting.
How to:
- Melee classes are heavily crippled in this battle, she keeps pushing them back and damaging them with her ae, so you should only let pure melee classes (Tank, Rogue) in melee. Paladins or Shamans will be more useful standing back and healing or nuking, unless they are the main tank of your group of course.
- Melees: when she uses her AE knockback waves, don't even try to fight the knockback and stay close to her, just let her push you away and wait till she's done farting before you go in again.
- Casters: stay at long range, you should never get hit by her AE knockback.
Anyway, it is a slow and long fight, probably the hardest battle in Maraudon, but really manageable if you follow the above. Congratulations on killing Princess Theradras and completing the main maraudon quest! The princess also drops nice things, always 2 blue items out of 7, here are some of them:
and the only nature resist item she drops:
After the princess is dead, a ghost centaur named Zaetar's Spirit should appear in the middle of the Princess' lair. Talk to it and get the quest [51] Seed of Life (Dungeon), which you can turn in at Moonglade for extra XP and 1gold 50silver.
Don't go yet, there is still one boss to get, and it's very close. Buff everyone with underwater breathing if you got a warlock in your group, if you don't it's ok, it will just be less comfortable.
Go to the northern waterfall directly next to the princess lair, look down from there before you jump, make sure you don't see a huge crocodile named Rotgrip swimming there before you jump. If the croco is not around, have your whole group jump down there and stay close to the waterfall. Wait for Rotgrip to come close and pull it to this corner. He is an easy fight, he just hits hard and is underwater, no difficulty besides this. Rotgrip is worth killing because he can drop:
and these nature resist boots:
That was all the bosses! Congratulations on clearing Maraudon completely. The only way out is to use Hearthstone or ask a mage for a portal, or to suicide! I hope you enjoyed this guide and the maraudon instance
Note: For the AQ20 / AQ40 nature resist gear farmers, when you go as deep as Landslide or Princess Theradras, the fastest way to go out and reset the instance is definitely to:
- Go naked

Needs an update
Submitted by Jiyambi on Thu, 2010-10-21 02:59.
We are recently working on improving the quality of content here on WoW-Pro.com, both by limiting low ranked guides and by moving out of date guides into archives. For more information, see the full news post detailing this process.
This guide needs an update to make sure it is current with patch 4.0. However it still has enough useful information that it will be left in it's proper section as-is.
If someone else would like to adopt the guide, or if you have any questions about this process, feel free to comment here.
Very good stuff as usual, just a couple comments

Jame's love your [and your staff's] work - after someone introduced me to the alliance levelling guide I've come back here repeatedly.
The instance guides have to be one of the more challenging ones to maintain though, with all of the itemization changes, class changes, even elite->normal status and level changing of mobs.
I see this guide had one simple change in over a year and a half, so I'm wondering a couple things -
* Might it be better to link the boss and/or items to say somewhere like wowhead to keep information current/keep down the need for such updates? I don't think [most of?] these have the 2.3 boost? I appreciate the levelling guide updates =D
And of course the itemization could be a homework assignment for the reader - as it is, you pack these up very nice and neat.
* Outside suggesting the +/-s of some mechanics, would it be better to keep away from any specific tanking/healing recommendations? e.g. Shaman can be a competent if not desired healer, Prot pallies aggro and taunting has improved dramatically.. obviously they're your thoughts at the time, but I imagine your thoughts would change in lieu of WoW changes.
Maybe highlighting keys of the fight to watch for, key things to mitigate, instead?
You basically already do this anyways, I think players in these games though tend to get tunnel vision at times...
For both of these, Blizzard changes everything too often to keep up Unless you're the type to constantly revisit all these instances with all these changes going on, which could be quite a challenge as it is apparent you're regularly revisiting solo/quest levelling
Just a couple thoughts, I'm about to dive into Mara now with my [Horde PvP] Pally and feel pretty well armed between this guide and wowhead.
Keep up the awesome work =D

Or put someone else on it right?
Either way the instance guides stand up very well and remain the best things out there [at least from what I've seen] - any reader should note the dates/use discretion beyond that.
And I'm back to referring to your levelling guides now - I usually don't follow them directly but you batch them so well together in nice chunks I can easily jump in and out of them
A small note
Submitted by Selanei on Mon, 2008-04-07 20:14.
I recommend moving the paragraph that starts like 'before going in:
I'd suggest binding yourself in Desolace. At Nijel's Point for Alliance, at Shadowprey Village for Horde...'
I think it should be put before the directions to Maraudon as many people (including me) will follow the directions, then read that paragraph and be forced to go back, then return to the entrance... just a little note I thought might make the guide flow better.

recommended level? gear quality?
Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 2007-12-14 02:27.
I don't think the recommeded level is right...With a group of 5 people it's pretty easy to take down even the princess with a level 45's (I have done it twice, and I've only done princess 3 times). Also, you weren't specific on gear quality. Is the recommended level based on the assumption that there are using mostly(if not all) greens? Because i was grouped with players who had more blues than greens (3 of us had an epic each, PvP bracers FTW!) except for our hunter who only had 2 blues (gun, shoulders). So for someone to have the time to do a full run of mara, the've probably had time to pick up plenty of BoP blues from previous intances before hand and are probably fairly well geared in ZF and Ulda gear.
Jame! You insufferable NOOB!

Kidding Jame - I live and die by your guides - litterally!
U forgot the last boss though - Tinkerer Gizlock (goblin pyromaniac) after the Croc and up the halls past the snakes
Here is an easy guide for him
Tank get in there
Healer STAY BACK
DPS stay behind him
He has a directional flame thrower attack that does HEAVY dmg but if you get behind him or just keep moving you can stay out of it. He dies pretty easy and as I remember he drops a BAD ASS pally/shammy shield and a pretty sweet gun... ima go look for links...
He does drop the shield and the gun although in my experience he drops them ALOT more than thottbot sais I would say the gun and shield have a 50/50 chance of dropping
Never seen the epic shoulders drop from hom though... so dont bank on those - then you can go out by killing a few more mobs or hearth or whatever you prefer...

You can still get to the second half of the instance, but you will have to fight your way through either the orange or purple side first, instead of teleporting to the falls. When you port to the falls, you are at the bottom of the falls that you jump off of if you were to fight your way into that part of the instance.

* Doctor in Arsal says at least 10 civilians killed
* Army chief says attack on Arsal was "premeditated"
* Fighting breaks out briefly in port city of Tripoli
* Lebanon badly buffeted by Syria's 3-year civil war (Adds Hezbollah and purported Nusra Front statement)
By Alexander Dziadosz
BEIRUT, Aug 3 (Reuters) - Lebanese soldiers traded fire with Islamist gunmen and shelled areas around the border town of Arsal on Sunday aiming to roll back the biggest incursion by militants into Lebanon since Syria's civil war began.
At least 10 Lebanese soldiers have died in the fighting, which erupted after Islamists seized a police station following the arrest of one of their leaders on Saturday - an attack that army chief General Jean Kahwaji said was premeditated.
"What happened is far more dangerous than some believe," Kahwaji told reporters in Beirut, saying the arrested commander had admitted to planning a large attack against army positions.
"The terrorist attack which occurred yesterday was not an attack by chance or coincidence. It was planned previously, a long time ago, awaiting the appropriate time," he said.
An unknown number of militants and civilians, possibly dozens, were also killed in the fighting. More than a dozen members of Lebanon's security forces were taken captive.
Security officials say the gunmen in Arsal include fighters linked to the Islamic State, an al Qaeda offshoot that has seized territory in Syria and Iraq, as well as Syria's al Qaeda branch, the Nusra Front.
Bombardment of the area prompted a large number of the tens of thousands of refugees sheltering in the area to flee, residents said. Television images showed plumes of black smoke rising from the mountainous area around the town.
"They're shelling from all directions," said Qassem Al-Zein, a doctor at the field hospital in Arsal, adding that the hospital had recorded 10 civilians killed so far, including refugees hit by the shelling.
Lebanon, a Mediterranean country of about 4 million people that borders Israel, has struggled with the shockwaves of Syria's three-year-old conflict, whose sectarian dimensions echo those of its own 1975-90 civil war.
Suicide attacks, car bombs, gun battles, kidnappings and rocket fire have plagued Lebanon, but the confrontation in Arsal has been the biggest direct clash between its army and rebels fighting to overthrow Syria's President Bashar al-Assad.
Lebanon's militant Shi'ite group Hezbollah had deployed its fighters around Arsal, a Sunni town sandwiched between Syrian government-controlled territory and Lebanese Shi'ite areas sympathetic to the group, a source said on Saturday.
Syrian activists in the town said Hezbollah appeared to have been involved in the fighting, but this was not possible to verify and the group did not comment on that point.
Hezbollah fighters have regularly taken part in battles against the Sunni rebels just over the border in Syria's Qalamoun region for months, helping the Assad government forces to flush out insurgents from towns and villages near the border.
In its first statement on the crisis, Hezbollah said on Sunday that it stood "shoulder to shoulder" with the military as it confronted what it said was a threat to the "unity, sovereignty and stability" of Lebanon.
Lebanon has been buffeted by the same waves of conflict that have brought about the rise of hardline Sunni militants in Syria and Iraq. On Sunday, Islamic State fighters seized Iraq's biggest dam, an oilfield and three towns.
Kahwaji said Lebanon's army would resist any attempts to import Syria's war into his country.
Earlier on Sunday, fighting erupted briefly in Lebanon's main northern coastal city of Tripoli, where Syria's war has enflamed decades-old tensions between local Sunnis and Alawites.
Soldiers battled masked gunmen overnight and into Sunday after militants opened fire on army positions in several areas of the port, the National News Agency said. A bomb also targeted an army patrol, wounding an officer and a soldier, it said.
Officials across Lebanon's political spectrum have condemned the Arsal attack, but in a sign of the country's own deep tensions some also took the opportunity to criticise their foes.
Jamil al-Sayyed, a Shi'ite and former head of Lebanon's General Security agency, said responsibility for what was happening in Arsal fell on the Sunni-led Future Movement bloc.
Former prime minister Fouad Siniora, a Sunni, called for Syrian gunmen to withdraw from Lebanon but also said Hezbollah fighters must leave Syria.
Beirut's perennial political deadlock has been worsened by tensions over Syria - Lebanon has been unable to elect a president since May because of disagreement over a candidate between its main Sunni and Shi'ite-led parliamentary blocs.
Arsal has long been a tinderbox for Lebanon's tensions. Rebels operating across the border in Syria's mountainous Qalamoun region have frequently crossed the porous border, often resting or seeking medical treatment in town.
Lebanon is hosting more than one million refugees who have fled Syria's conflict. More than 100,000 of them are estimated to be living in and around Arsal in makeshift camps spread throughout the surrounding hills.
Saturday's fighting started after Lebanese security forces arrested Emad Jumaa, a rebel commander popular among the hardline Islamist fighters in the area.
Soon afterward, gunmen seized the police station, attacking army checkpoints, taking at least 16 members of Lebanon's security forces captive and demanding that Jumaa be freed. Kahwaji said the army had suffered 10 dead and 25 wounded, while 13 were still missing and may have been taken hostage.
A Twitter account that regularly publishes news from the Nusra Front, Syria's al Qaeda branch, said the group had no links with Jumaa, but Nusra fighters had entered the area to help care for and protect refugees wounded by Lebanese army shelling.
The statement said the Nusra Front had not clashed with the army - although other groups had - and that its fighters were "ready to leave Arsal if the situation is resolved as soon as possible".
Lebanese military vehicles have deployed around Arsal and shelled the area while Syrian warplanes have been bombing rebel positions in the town's environs, residents say.
"The situation is bad," Arsal's mayor Ali al-Hujeiri said when reached briefly by phone. "Very, very bad." (Additional reporting by Tom Perry; Editing by Tom Heneghan)

I've pretty much been working on the same setup with the exception of using RFM12Bs instead of the nrf24s (Form factor issue and availability at the moment). I haven't had any issues with the Ethernet Shield and the RFM12B after adjusting the library to use pin 9 as the SS, but I haven't tried doing that for the NRF24s yet.
So, no one has an opinion on what could be the best approach ?arduino w/ Ethernet shield + nrf24 chip Nrf24 chip on custom pcb being connected to pc (serial) and a php that would handle the requests...etc Nf24 chip on custom pcb connected (serial) to arduino with ethernet shield

Real Estate 360 Live With Louis Cammarosano 4/23/12
On Monday April 23, 2012, Louis Cammarosano, General Manager of HomeGain, was a guest on the Real Estate 360 Live radio show on The Big Talker 1580 WHFS AM, hosted by Ryan Sloper.
Listen to the show.
Part 1 (14:40)
Ryan notes that the Fed is going to meet again next week and that many experts expect another round of quantitative easing. Louis thinks that the Fed won't announce QE3 and that a lot of capital is flowing into the US as a result of the problems in Europe and that indeed many economists expect the US dollar to appreciate in value. Louis is not certain that is a well founded belief, but one that is prevalent.
Louis notes that an announcement of QE3 might cause a bit of a panic because it would be an admission that the recovery is not taking hold and oil prices would rise. Louis thinks that although the Fed may want to do QE3 they will probably hold off until after the election in November. Louis notes that the average investor is either short on cash or can not save as interest rates are low so they put their money in the stock market which drives valuations higher.
Louis notes that if you really wanted a strong dollar you would want higher interest rates so people would save money and invest in treasuries, rather than the Fed printing money out of thin air to buy them and thereby devaluing the dollar. Ryan notes that the dollar is appreciating vs the Euro. Louis notes that the dollar is not however strengthening against gold silver and oil. Louis notes that the amount of gold being mined is not as great as the amount of money being printed.
Louis and Ryan note the rising rental market. Louis notes that college grads will also put pressure on the rental market as most won't be in a position to buy homes as they have student loans to pay and poor job prospects and will more often than not be renting. Louis notes that the American Dream of home ownership is in jeopardy for young people.

Almost no one knows more about wearing a bikini than Leann Rimes. She's almost made lounging on yacht decks and hitting the beach a part-time job. But the singer isn't just having fun seaside — she's also getting tons of two-piece-related practical research and user experience, and now, she says, she'd like to put it to good use by creating her own bikini line.
MAP/Splash News Online
In an interview with Fox 411 (in which she says she can be "redneck with the best of them," among other things), Rimes is asked whether she's ever considered starting her own bikini line. "Yes, I have! And I've been researching that a little bit more as we speak," she says. "I've worn so many bikinis that I know what works and what doesn't. I know what I like and I know what's missing in the marketplace. We shall see! I hope that it comes to fruition."
And she's willing to admit that she may have a bit of a bikini overload in her closet — she says she can't even guess at the number she owns, a problem she compares to her shoe addiction. "The other day, I said I had 80 pairs of shoes and Eddie was like, "No way. You have at least 140 pairs of shoes," she says. "I started counting and I told him, 'Babe, I stopped counting at 200.' That's pretty much the same thing with bikinis. I'd like to say that I don't have a ton, but I know I do."
What can we expect from a Rimes-designed bikini line? "I don't know. I'm an earthly girl. I love very natural colors — nudes and golds. Beautiful, feminine and classy," she tells the site, adding, "I think the biggest misconception about bikinis is that if you're heavier, that you need to wear more coverage on your butt. It looks horrible on any woman. The skimpier the bottoms, the better your butt looks! If you look at pictures of women with bikinis that cover the whole butt, it just looks frumpy. Flaunt what you've got!"
We think she may have a potential name for her bikini line right there. Would you shop a Leann Rimes swimwear line? Any advice you'd like to share with the star?

BUENA PARK – Bottles of perfume from the sunken Titanic and perfectly preserved sets of lungs will soon fill the building that formerly housed wax figures of Elvis Presley, Whoopi Goldberg and other celebrities.
Premier Exhibitions has signed a lease with the city of Buena Park to rent out the former Movieland Wax Museum on Beach Boulevard for 21 months. Premier, a museum exhibition company, plans to bring its popular "Bodies," as well as exhibits about the Titanic, to the city.
"There are no negatives here," said Scott Riordan, city project manager. "We're looking forward to bringing them in and adding a compliment to our entertainment district."
Movieland closed in 2005 amid declining attendance. In 2007, the city's Redevelopment Agency purchased the site for $8.6 million with the intention of demolishing the building. When all of the state's redevelopment agencies were dissolved, and the funding for demolition dried up, plans were put on hold.
Premier approached the city to lease the building temporarily as the company looks for a more-permanent home in Southern California, Riordan said.
Last week, Premier and the city closed on the lease for 37,490 square feet of the property's 60,000 square feet.
Under the deal, Premier will pay $1 a month, as well as $500,000 to $600,000 to renovate the building. Premier will be responsible for maintenance, utility, a security alarm and special county assessment costs – which are expected to run a collective $80,000 to $85,000.
"Premier is not only making all the repairs, they're relieving us of the cost of maintaining the building, which is significant," Riordan said. "If you add the two together, that equates to a typical commercial rent."
The city also anticipates a boost in the local economy from an increase in tourists, as well as from new construction and exhibit jobs, Riordan said. He did not have numbers readily available for how many jobs may be created.
Premier is best known for its "Bodies" exhibits. The two exhibits, "Bodies … The Exhibition" and "Bodies Revealed," showcase real human body parts preserved in liquid silicone rubber to allow visitors to learn about the body's skeletal, muscular, nervous, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive, endocrine and circulatory systems. The first exhibit is on display in Las Vegas, Atlanta and New York City. The second exhibit recently closed in Boise, Idaho, and is headed to Virginia.
Premier is also using the space for its two Titanic exhibits, "Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition," and "Titanic The Experience." The former features real artifacts from the wreck, and the latter is a full-scale re-creation of the ship with actors playing notable passengers and crew. The full-scale model will be on display outside of the Movieland building.
Based on the proposed floor plans, it appears that at least one "Bodies" exhibit along with the two Titanic exhibits would be on display.
Premier will move in after the renovations are complete in about 120 days. Required repairs include demolishing existing wax museum sets, fixing electrical and plumbing systems, remodeling existing bathrooms, repairing the roof, installing a temporary climate-control system, re-doing exterior signage, fixing up the façade, repairing the box office, painting and landscaping.
Once the lease is up, the city hopes to redevelop the property into a permanent entertainment venue consistent with the rest of the Beach Boulevard Entertainment Corridor, Riordan said. No specifics are set yet, and the state Department of Finance would need to approve any plans because the property is former Buena Park Redevelopment Agency land.
Expressing his and the city's excitement, Riordan said of the Titanic exhibit, "Those are real artifacts. I've never seen anything like that. I look forward to seeing them."
Representatives from Premier declined to comment before a press conference officially announcing the deal, which is scheduled for Thursday.

You could not use the Virtual Guard near the dock for example. Another example of casual design in the industry, improved after long times.

Going on sale in March as 2 models, for $499 with 20x suction & $699 with 40x suction of existing robot vacuums, both can be operated either with a dedicated wireless remote, through the company's Connected Home smartphone app or even through voice control, using Amazon's Alexa.
