Google Wave Notification Plugin for Firefox – Alerts in Browser for New Wavelets!
Google Wave continues to create waves across the tech community. Though many who registered for invites are still awaiting their turn to experience the nirvana others are enjoying the pleasure of being invited early.
As expected we are starting to see the developer community kick into action and release tools of their own to add to the Google Wave experience.
Firefox is the first to get a Wave plugin today. It called Google Wave Notification Plugin for Firefox and I am sure the name says it all.
Once installed, the plugin sits on the right side of the statusbar which checks and alerts as and when new waveslets appear in your Wave account.
Here is how it works..
- Once installed, right click on the plugin and click "Settings"
- Add your wave account details and set the frequency of updates as shown in the image below
- Once that is done it will quietly site with other plugins and do it job of updating whenever you receive new wavelets
Few words of caution:
- The plugin is only compatible with FF version 3.5.x. So the beta versions 3.6.x or 3.7 are bound to show errors.
- The plugin is not programmed to check for updates automatically. Check for updates manually until that happens in the coming versions
If you like what you see and already have a Google Wave setup, click here or here to download the Firefox Plugin or here to visit developers site.

Great overalls
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
These overalls are awesome. I was worried about the fit when I first got them, but they have a good, adjustable fit and the fabric is a little stretchy which definitely helps as well. I wear them out as well as to the pool with my bikini underneath. Super cute!

Dave Walker, a 35-year-old cartoonist, web editor and former church and community youth worker has earned international fame, not only as a cartoon commentator on the state of the Church (local and universal) and regular cartoonist on the Church Times, but as the creator of ''The Dullest Blog in the World''.
The New York Times reported, �Mr. Walker has raised dull blogging to an art form by meticulously chronicling mundane events in his life: checking e-mail, turning his head to the right, walking past the ironing board, and thinking about making some food. His minimalist musings have attracted something of a cult following, with his blog (www.wibsite.com/wiblog/dull/) counting about 85,000 page views a month. Seldom has dullness generated such keen interest."
His cartoons have a similar wry, unexpected quality � he turns his humour towards such subjects as What Your Pew Says About You, When to Stand Up For a Hymn, Flags on Church Towers, The Dangers of Arriving Too Early or too Late, and other uneventful aspects of life in local churches.
The Dave Walker Guide to the Church by Dave Walker was published by Canterbury Press in August 2006 and is our 12946th best seller. The ISBN for The Dave Walker Guide to the Church is 9781853117794.

I just learned a KILLED trick with Konqueror last night.
(It requires the apt-get install'ation of a small package under Debian
to enable the support.)
Pop in your favorite music CD, fire up Konq, and in the address bar, type
the following URL:
What will appear is a set of audio track icons, as well as virtual folders
containing WAV files you can drag and drop, sorted by track order, or by
song name (oh yeah, it tries to connect to CDDB to get track and artist
info, by the way ;) )
There's even an "Ogg Vorbis" folder. Go in there, and drag-n-drop the
files onto your hard disk, and you've just ripped your entire CD to Ogg!!!
(Of course, it does all this on the fly, and there obviously are NOT
such directories on your audio CD ;^) )
Thinking about it, this would actually be quite cool to have as
a /mnt mount point. But, I think it's really just a KIO thingy, so you
can only see this from Konqueror (and probably other KDE apps,
though I haven't tried.)
Actually, though, I WAS able to play a WAV using XMMS, so IT somehow
saw the same thing Konq was inventing for me. Hrm... I guess I need to
investigate this feature some more. :)

Not theme-related, but apparently KOffice is switching to the "OASIS"
file format used by OpenOffice.org. They'll also have input in the way
it works for the kinds of files OpenOffice.org can't create, but
KOffice can. (e.g., more than just Word Processing, Presentation,
Spreadsheet and Drawing)

Win a winter family outing with Cape Point and Cape Town Tourism
Fazielah Williams
Fazielah Williams has lived in and loved her Mother City since birth. Having lived all over the Peninsula during her childhood, she now calls the picturesque City Bowl home and likes nothing more than watching the sun set over Table Bay from the window of her apartment.
A lover of the arts and proud Cape Town fanatic, Fazielah began her writing career by spending many hours as a child conjuring fantastical stories that featured independent heroines from faraway lands who saved the Prince instead. This Capetonian princess has enjoyed stints as a magical arts PRO and TV publicist before finding her calling as a travel writer.
When not waxing lyrical about the Fairest Cape's most loved attractions and activities and embarking on unexpected adventures, Fazielah can usually be found taking in a show at one of the City's fabulous theatres.
Cape Point, the iconic Cape Town attraction, is a hive of adventurous fun and entertaining activities this winter.
Whether you're exploring the mysterious shipwreck trails along the coast, admiring the views from aboard the Flying Dutchman Funicular or savouring the flavours at the Two Oceans Restaurant, Cape Point offers the best in family entertainment this chilly season.
Best of all, you needn't break the bank to have a great time. Cape Point's winter deal offers a free ride to every child under the age of 16 with the purchase of one adult ticket.

Nairobi — Do you know that your child does not have to go to school to get an education? Not only is it possible but a growing number of parents are opting to 'home school' their children.
Home-schooling is the education of children at home, typically by parents or guardians, rather than in a school.
In the West, prior to the introduction of compulsory school attendance laws, most childhood education occurred within the family or community, with only a small portion of the population attending schools or employing tutors.
Today, those who home-school do so to provide their children with a different learning environment than is available schools or because they are dissatisfied with their academic standards. Others opt for home-schooling because their children are bullied and abused by schoolmates and teachers, are disabled or for religious reasons. It is also an alternative for families living in isolated rural locations.
One of the home-schooling advocates in the 20th Century, John Holt, a graduate of Yale University and a teacher, was convinced that formal schooling violates an individual's civil rights. He equated keeping children locked up in school for 12 years to imprisonment, saying as it denies them an opportunity to socialise with people in the 'real world'. He believed formal methods of teaching suppress a child's natural curiosity as it insists on the use of a one-size-fits-all curriculum. After many years of teaching and observing children, he came to the conclusion that home-based education develops children more holistically.
A disciple of Holt, Ms Shirley Maina, a single mother, home-schools her seven-year old daughter, Savannah. She settled on the option after watching her first born Brian, 26, struggle to cope with formal schooling.
"When he started going to school, Brian was not happy and it took some time to figure out why. It was only when I moved him to a more relaxed school that he became interested in learning," he says.
Today, he is an accounts student at Strathmore University.
She believes the 8-4-4 system of education is too stressful, does not offer holistic education and relies too much on rote learning.
She withdrew Savannah from school after the eager, confident and curious girl became aloof and timid. Apparently, Savannah's teachers ignored her when she raised her hand in class because they felt she asked too many questions.
She teaches Savannah theoretical subjects such as English, Kiswahili and mathematics from Monday to Thursday. Friday is a project day. The most recent project they worked on is a model of a farm with trees, animals and a pond. Maina uses it to teach her daughter about vertebrates and their habitat.
But the sports instructor does not stay home all day with Savannah. Since her job is not the typical job, her lesson plan fits her work schedule.
Maina however caution parents to way out the benefits of home-schooling against their children's needs before making a decision.
For instance, her last born attends play school. "Maisha is very energetic so I decided to take her to playschool for a while. It's difficult watching her while attending to Savannah's lessons," she says.
Likewise, John and Monica Muthiora have embraced home-schooling. The couple has two children, Tiffany, 5, and Muchai , 2.
"I didn't make the decision lightly as I am a very conservative person. I did it after a lot of research," says Monica, a stay-at-home mum.
During the week, she wakes up early to make breakfast for her family ahead of the lessons at 9 am. They consist of reading, writing and arithmetic. She has allotted time for nature walk in which they discuss what they see. While Tiffany does mathematics and writing, Muchai mostly plays with toys.
The sessions are flexible as long as what is supposed to be done in a given day is completed.
Her husband, John , supports her. In his free time, he researches on home learning and shares the information with her.
In places where this mode of learning is popular, like the United States, homeschoolers often take advantage of educational opportunities at museums, community centres, athletic clubs, after-school programmes, churches, science preserves, parks, and other community resources.
Families often join together to create family-centred support groups whose members seek to pool their talents and resources in an effort to broaden the scope of their children's education. Most meet at least once a week to create a classroom environment where students can do hands-on and group activities, such a, science experiments, art projects, spelling competitions and discussions. Parents volunteer to make the program a success.
The Mathioras and Maina developed their curricula and lesson plans by customizing syllabuses sourced from abroad.
Their research on home-schooling took them to the East Africa Educational Resource Centre, situated along Thika Road. It is a home-school resource center started in 2002 by Ms Debbie Stephens, a volunteer who home-schools her children.
The centre has a small but growing library that includes reading material, curricula guides and educative toys. There are also toys for younger children to play with.
After a slow start, demand for the centre's services from Kenyans and foreigners has grown and membership is about 100 families.
Stephens says some members are considering starting other centres.
Home-schooling has some challenges. Being an alien concept in Kenya, say the Mathioras and Maina, friends, relatives and neighbours find their decision strange and often accuse them of ruining their children's life. Parents and guardians must dedicate enough time and attention to home schooling.
But the benefits, says Maina and Monica are worth it. They say their children learn faster and topics that take weeks only take a few days. The one-on-one student-teacher relationship ensures that queries are dealt with and the child gets enough attention.
The bond between the parents and their children boosts their confidence and intellect. A child is free to explore and come up with solutions. The parent may not know all the answers but the search is most times more important than finding a solution.

WORCESTER, Mass – Holy Cross sophomore forward Kyle Fletcher (Kanata, Ontario) has been named the Atlantic Hockey Player of the Week as he recorded three goals and five assists for eight points in the two wins over AIC on Feb. 4-5. This is the first time that he has received this honor.
In the 5-2 win on Friday, he tallied one goal and two assists for three points, while in the 8-4 victory on Saturday, Fletcher recorded two goals and three assists for five points including his team-best fourth game-winner of the season. Holy Cross is 4-0-1 in the last five games as Fletcher has six goals and six assists for 12 points during that stretch of games. For the season he is tied for first on the team with a career-best 10 goals, while he is second with a career-best 19 assists and a career-best 29 points. For his career, Fletcher has 10 goals and 23 assists for 33 points in 37 games.
The Crusaders (11-14-3 overall, 10-8-3 Atlantic Hockey) return to action on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 11-12, when they play Army (8-16-4 overall, 7-10-4 Atlantic Hockey) at the Hart Center for two Atlantic Hockey games at 7:00 p.m. Saturday will also be winter homecoming as a MVP trophy will be awarded after the game. The Crusaders defeated the Black Knights by a 5-4 score in overtime earlier this season on Oct. 17 in the first meeting of the three-game regular season series. The Crusaders are tied for fifth place in the Atlantic Hockey standings with 23 points, while Army is tied for eighth with 18 points. The Crusaders have won four straight games as this represents the Crusaders' longest winning streak since the 2005-2006 season when they won six straight games between March 3-March 24. Holy Cross has outscored its opponents by a 24-11 margin in the last five games as the Crusaders are averaging 4.8 goals per game and allowing 2.2 goals per contest.

Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) was applied to the analysis of bioceramic
samples. The relationship between sample hardness and LIBS plasma
properties was investigated, with comparison to conventional Vickers hardness
measurements. The plasma excitation temperature Te was determined using the lineto-
continuum ratio for the Si (I) 288.16 nm emission line; we have demonstrated a
linear relationship between sample surface hardness and plasma temperature. Results
indicate that hardness determination based on measurements of Te offers greater
reproducibility than Vickers hardness measurements, under the conditions considered
here. The validity of spectroscopic diagnostics based on LTE was confirmed.

When, on 25 August 1946, Mayor Kolb announced that "Frankfurt is going to be a trade fair city once again," he did this because he believed that reconstructing the trade fair would help kick-start the rebirth of the entire city.
The Frankfurt International Trade Fair, held from 3 – 8 October 1948, carried on the tradition of the international sample fairs which had been held since Autumn 1919: 1,771 exhibitors, of whom no less than 46 were from outside Germany, played the role of pioneers at the first event. A total of 32 different industries presented their goods, ranging from textiles and machines to foodstuffs, drinks and tobacco, over a total of 60,000 square metres of exhibition area in provisional lightweight constructions, tents or simply in the open air. In comparison to modern trade fairs, the conditions at this makeshift trade fair were rough, yet the economic and psychological effects of the autumn trade fair were enormous, both with regard to spurring foreign trade as well as for the reconstruction and expansion of the exhibition grounds.
There was yet another way in which the Frankfurt International Trade Fair played an important role into the birth of today's Messe Frankfurt. The increasing diversity of the products on offer quickly created a trend towards greater specialisation of trade fairs. This was reflected in the "Frankfurt principle": individual product groups which had previously been represented in the comprehensive multi-sector trade fairs for the consumer goods industry were further developed to create independent industry events. Already in 1951, the books and automotive sectors were spun off as independent trade fairs. They were followed by Interstoff for fabrics in 1959 and ISH for heating and plumbing in 1960. In 1971, home and household textiles were moved from Interstoff to establish Heimtextil, followed by Musikmesse in 1980. In 1990, the International Spring Fair was reorganised into the Premiere and Ambiente trade fairs. In 1996, the Autumn Fair was rechristened Tendence, while at the same time perfume, cosmetics, drug store and hairdressing supplies, Christmas decorations and florist supplies were removed from Premiere and given an independent event in the form of Beautyworld and Christmasworld. They were followed one year later by Paperworld, which covers paper, office supplies and stationery. In 2011 Creativeworld was added with its own event brand and an expanded trade fair concept and is regularly held in parallel with Paperworld and Christmasworld.
This is a process which continues today. Frankfurt's trade fairs are continuing to develop, and new ones are being added. At the same time, the range of services offered by Messe Frankfurt is continually being expanded through digital facilities, offering essential added value to customers.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
The email address I had for the CS Club at UC Davis (which I have been
sending LUGOD meeting announcements to for a number of years) has suddenly
changed to a mailing list, so every time I sent out my announcements,
I get a bounce.
I went to the CS Club's new website, a blog hosted at
http://www.daviscsclub.com/ but I see no contact information anywhere.
There are links to two members' websites, but neither of them are the
club officers (they apparently just had elections), and one of them throws
a 'permission' denied. I didn't want to randomly harass the other fellow. :)
I tried posting a comment to the "Feedback & Ideas" page, but received
a bogus error from some spam-prevention tool that the blog is running.
(It says my JS and cookies are disabled, which is not the case.)
(I had successfully posted to that blog in the past.)
Does anyone know what the definitive, central contact address is for that
I like to think LUGOD does this kind of thing very well. We have the
"firstname.lastname@example.com" address for the president, as well as other addresses for
elected and appointed officers... they go to whomever is currently in that
position -- sometimes to multiple people -- so that the address never
changes, and you always can contact the appropriate persons(s).
We also have a very comprehensive "Contact Us" page (that every page of
our site links to in two places (sidebar and footer)) over at
It includes all of the officers' addresses (as well as what each officer
does, so it's easy to figure out who to contact), links to our mailing list
info page (including brief descriptions of each address), and even our
postal address. (I guess all it's missing is a link to the page about
our IRC channel :) )
Sigh. I hate when things just suddenly break... and contact info for
numerous people I've been contacting about LUGOD meetings always seem
to break randomly. (The SacBee "events@" one just died in the past two
weeks, it seems! >:^( )
Thanks, and sorry if this is too rant-ish. No offense intended.

Since the Senior-Lindström posted his '57 Chevy, I decided to show what I'm working currently in a side of that Torino, Chi Town Hustler and so many more other projects.... This is a Revell '62 Impala (Special Edition kit, non Bubbletop version) which I got as a Christmas Present. It's really great quality kit, lots of parts inside and once you open the box, it's very possible that you can't get the parts inside the box again.
My plan for this kit is to build '60s style Super Stocker. There are nice decals and other DragRace parts inside the box. Well actually even if there were parts for original Impala only, I would have built it as a Super Stocker anyway.
I started by sanding the rear tires, here the other one is sanded, other is still to be sanded.
Then I started building the engine, Block, Heads and Oil Pan are painted orange, Intake Manifold is aluminium etc. The basic 409 colors! The kit had nice decals for the engine, two for each Valve Covers, two for the Generator, one for the Oil Filler tube and one for the belt. I installed them, and made plug wires too. Started detailing the carburetors, but the linkage is still in progress in these pics, and I need to do a lot more detailing to the carbs before I call them done.
Edit: The last picture didn't show... Now it's fixed again.

Welcome to the Holy Cross Newsstand, a daily listing with links to stories from around the country on the Crusaders. Here are the stories from August of 2011.
Please note that these links take you to pages which are not a part of GoHolyCross.com, and we apologize if the links no longer direct you to the proper page.
Crusaders primed to make
August 31, 2011 * By Jennifer Toland * Worcester Telegram & Gazette
Tomorrow night's game against UMass isn't merely circled on Holy Cross senior cornerback Chandler Fenner's calendar. "It is my calendar," Fenner exclaimed. "It's what we've all been working toward. It's a huge, huge thing." The Crusaders' 2011 opener against the No. 25 Minutemen — the first night game in Fitton Field history — certainly has generated a buzz on the team, around campus and in alumni circles, and HC is hoping to draw its largest home crowd in years. Kickoff is at 8 p.m. . .
Five questions facing Holy
August 31, 2011 * By John Connolly * Boston Herald
The prognosis for the 2011 Holy Cross football team is akin to assembling a puzzle. All the pieces are there; it just might take a while to make them fit. Unfortunately, the Crusaders won't have the luxury of spending an inordinate amount of time to finish the picture, as a brutal schedule awaits them. In the first six weeks, HC plays four times at home. But collectively, the opposition represents the most challenging in decades. . .
Healthy outlook for Taggart, Holy
August 31, 2011 * By Nicole Auerbach * Boston Globe
Ryan Taggart knows patience. A lot of other college football players don't; they transfer or complain when they aren't getting enough playing time. But not Taggart. At Trinity High School in Euless, Texas, Taggart learned how to be a backup quarterback and wait for his turn. . .
DI's unluckiest team could see better days
in 2011-12 season
August 30, 2011 * By Andy Glockner * SportsIllustrated.com
As you approach the Hart Center high atop Holy Cross' hilly campus, the images are unmistakable. The support structures on either end of the basketball arena side of the complex are taller in the back than the front, so their tops slope forward in the distinct shape of horseshoes. While the Crusaders have enjoyed their share of good fortune in their almost four decades in the building, their recent lack of luck makes you wonder if a renovation is needed. . .
Former NFL football player Adams steps in
as interim Georgetown AD
August 30, 2011 * By Joshua Boyd * Georgetown Record
Retirement didn't last long for Bill Adams Sr. After retiring from teaching and the Athletic Director position at Lynnfield High School last spring, Adams spent about a month "out of work" before he was contacted by Georgetown High School Principal Peter Lucia this summer. "[Lucia] called me and told me they were restructuring in the Athletic Department and if I'd be interested in coming in," said Adams.
Harney was a true gem
August 29, 2011 * By Bill Higgins * Cape Cod Times
The golf community – on Cape Cod and beyond – lost a terrific ambassador for the game (and for life) last week with the passing of Paul Harney. He was a giant in New England golf circles and a worthy champion on the national stage. Harney won five consecutive Massachusetts Opens (two of them at New Seabury) and was a seven-time winner on the PGA Tour. He finished a stroke out of a playoff for the 1963 U.S. Open at The Country Club and was in the top 10 four times at the Masters. . .
Crusaders measure success in
August 28, 2011 * By Jennifer Toland * Worcester Telegram & Gazette
Holy Cross posted its sixth straight winning season under coach Tom Gilmore in 2010, and by finishing 6-5, the Crusaders tied Colgate for the most wins by a Patriot League team over the last five years. But if you think HC considered last year a success, you thought wrong. . .
Friends remember a true
August 25, 2011 * By Bill Doyle * Worcester Telegram & Gazette
Can you imagine hitting golf balls into nets in your garage and in the back of your office for a couple of months, then taking on the best golfers on the PGA Tour and beating them? Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? Not to Paul Harney, it didn't. He actually did it. . .
Pro hockey in Hyannis
August 19, 2011 * By Kathleen Szmit * Barnstable Patriot
What do you do when the hazy summer days of Cape Cod Baseball have passed? Put on your parka and get yourself to a Cape Cod Bluefins hockey game. The Bluefins officially hit the ice Oct. 28 in their first game of the 2011-2012 season, but president/CEO Brian Kolb wants to get fans excited for game play now. . .
Holy Cross must make snap decision at
August 18, 2011 * By Jennifer Toland * Worcester Telegram & Gazette
A year ago at this time, Ryan Taggart was in the midst of an intense three-man battle to become Holy Cross' starting quarterback. He didn't know if he'd play or how much. Two weeks before HC's 2011 opener, Taggart, Mark Tolzien and Kevin Watson — all seniors — are again engaged in a pretty spirited competition. But Taggart, who started all 11 games last season, has a better picture of where he stands. He has maintained his spot atop the depth chart. . .
Thomas ready to play in
August 17, 2011 * By Dave Ruden * Connecticut Post
Torey Thomas has yet to achieve his dream of playing in the NBA, but he may be setting a record for frequent-flyer miles in the process. Last week the former Trinity Catholic basketball star signed to play with Spartak Primorie in the PBL, Russia's premier basketball league. Thomas is scheduled to leave next week. . .
Holy Cross assistant basketball coach a
secret weapon
August 10, 2011 * By Jennifer Toland * Worcester Telegram & Gazette
Chante Bonds, a veteran of many two-hand touch games in her neighborhood as a kid, was just tossing a football around with her friends on the beach at Fire Island, N.Y., a few years ago when she caught the eye of a fellow surf and sand lover who played for the New York Sharks of the Women's Football Alliance, a 64-team professional league. . .

European Union President Erato Kozakou-Marcoullis said Tuesday said that the EU would not grant Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman's request to declare Iran-funded Hezbollah as a terrorist organization because "Hezobollah is a political party in Lebanon which also runs charity organizations."
Lieberman's request came after reports that Hezbollah organized the July 18 bombing of a bus carrying Israeli tourists in Bulgaria.
"It's time to add Hezbollah to the list of terrorist organizations in Europe, as a message from the international community to those who on the one hand meet with diplomats and on the other hand murder innocent civilians on the same continent," Lieberman said at a conference of foreign ministers in Brussels.

"This design was great! Multiple pictures can be used and the font was beautiful! Perfect was to announce the arrival of our baby girl."
"Such a high quality product! Love It! I just wish there was an option for this design to take the "fallen snow" out of picture. But I am extremely satisfied and will use this website again!"
"We used this to announce our daughters arrival. The product came really quickly with standard shipping and the quality was great! We just sent them out so no feedback yet but I was impressed with the product. The only thing I had a little trouble with is saving the design when I was putting her info in. I would definitely order from here again!"
"Great product choice. I was very happy with the results of this order. The print paper was of good quality and durable. The photos came out clear and nice. Added bonus was the cute print on the back of the card. Price was not bad for the order, either. Very happy."
"I was nervous to order this announcement since there was only one review, and it was someone who gave it one star. Because of that review, I made sure to select the option to have a Tiny Prints employee review the design and also paid for the digital proof. The photo quality is great. I couldn't be happier with how they turned out and have been receiving compliments from friends and family as they arrive in the mail."

Roll your own Linux with Slax
Slax Not Slacking
Slax is the brainchild of Tomas Matejicek and is based on Slackware Linux. The current version of Slax is 6.1.1 (as of July 1, 2009), and maintenance releases are offered frequently to squash bugs and add features. Slax is available in 28 languages.
Slax can boot off a USB thumb drive (USB 2.0 provides superior performance) and can be installed on a hard drive. And because Slax is generally very small, it's usually easy to carve out a small partition on an existing Windows system, for example, and copy Slax manually to the new partition (a "frugal install"). Instructions for this dual-boot configuration can be found in the Slax forums.
The initial install of Slax provides a capable suite of desktop applications, including Kopete for instant messaging, K3b for burning media, JuK for music, and KPlayer for playing other media.
Of course, if you need different or additional software, you now know how to build your very own flavor of Linux.

I have to agree. I think I know what the point of the article was, but it certainly wasn't very clear. The narrative was all over the place and made it hard to follow. I guess he was trying to act like one of the persons who is bored with the game?
Not to be harsh or anything, but the article was a bit weak and I think the points could have been made better. Instead of making fun of people who are criticizing the game, a more in depth analysis might a made a better article. Just my 2 cents.

I'm not sure how much more in-depth I could have gotten without busting out empirical data that doesn't exist and doing some repeatable laboratory testing that theoretically wouldn't prove a damn thing.
Sorry it wasn't clear to you though, but the point was to be incredibly over the top, perhaps even to the point of not being entirely understandable. A goal of mine was to make sure it wasn't painfully obvious where I was going with the piece. There was going to be a shift from evaluation to a percieved problem to an outrageous example of that problem, but I wanted the first part to make the reader think "Is this guy serious or just stupid? Who is saying this, are these rash generalizations accurate or made up? Who does he think he is to judge like this? He's doing the exact same thing he is railing against!" And if you reach that sort of conclusion, well, the satire was a success, thanks for reading!
Who knows? Satire lends itself to such scenarios sometimes. Take for example Colbert, he often engages in satire in his impersonations of the people he is discussing on his show. One more than one occassion I've witness his ranting turn into entirely uninteligible nonsense, and it was funny and it proved a point. Or his "Word" segments where he invents or stretches the meanings/spelling/usage of words to comedic ends.
Also if I just wrote a SUPER SERIOUS SCIENTIFIC ACADEMIC ANALAYSIS article I'd hear something like "Not to be harsh or anything, but this article was a bit weak and I think it could have been much more entertaining. Instead of just having an in-depth analysis of a problem in the game it could have been funny and entertaining instead and it would be a better article." This is an editorial not a straight up news column. I'm also not a sociologist or psychologist so any serious attempts I would make, no matter how eloquent, would probably come off as armchair ramblings! Suffice to say sticking to observations made about the community from a first-person perspective are my best and most reliable sources of input!
I appreciate the criticism though, and will strive to do better next time!

What's the criteria for making and posting a column? Some one thought that this would be a good idea to make into a column, right?
I would also dub this as trolling ( this column ) versus whatever else you thought it would be? Satire/hyperbole/trolling = column which then =supported by the website?
But it does give you the chance to check your email OMGALLTHETIME and wait for the next person to post so you can toss your wit back into the pile.

I'm not real sure what is going on here(topic-wise), but that has never stopped me from voicing my opinion. I don't plan to change anytime soon.
You hit the nail on the head when you said bashing WoW is cool. You may also notice the most vocerfious post are from people who played WoW for YEARS. Not weeks or a month or two, like yours truly, but years. Then, they have such lack of common sense they come to forums to rant and rave how easy WoW is, or how dumbed down it is, or how the community is crap. My favorite being "Vanilla WoW was so much more difficult." LOL WHAT???? Clearly, a newbie to the MMO scene who failed to play such games as EQ, UO, DAoC and AC.
PS - If you takes another's opinions as stated fact that is clearly an error on your part. Opinions should not need to be stated, as such. We are intelligent beings that are able to discern someone opinions from fact. I can't stand it when one say "This game isn't fun." and someone says "This game isn't fun for you." Yea, nice going there Sherlock Holmes. You passed 2nd grade English where we all learned about opinions, arseholes and facts.

You can get more with a kind word & a 2x4 than you can with just a kind word
I had a bit of trouble following the article, but what I think you're saying is that a) one person's opinion is not necessarily fact, b) forums are, as a rule, not so hyperbolic as we make them out to be, and c) WoW doesn't necessarily suck?
I agree on all counts.
Still, for me personally, I found many things in WoW to be... less than desirable once Cataclysm got into its full stride. Does that mean "Cata ruined WoW?" Not at all. It means that I got bored and moved on. One day I might go back. But hey - we all get bored from time to time. It's why multiple games are out there.
I enjoyed the humor in the article though.

I don't think it's just about going more in-depth. I think the whole point of the article (and of course, this is a huge paraphrase) was to say that a lot of people (and mostly former or non-WoW players) are saying: "I don't like WoW because x (where x is blame Blizzard or WoW's community)" when the problem is really themselves. I got that. However, the article itself only touched briefly on to reasons why in 1 paragraph.
The article doesn't need to be as you call it "super serious academic article" but I don't know, I would expect them to make me think about the issue at hand by presenting many well thought out arguments. I think people who come and read these articles expect some sort of intelectual arguments, except where it's clearly not that kind of article.
I'm not saying the article completely failed at this. I'm just saying it was a bit incohesive at times. I got your points, but (in my opinion) a lot was left out that could have been said. It's a great topic afterall, one that is really interesting. And yes, I got that the last part was satire, although you may have a bit of work to reach Colbert status ;)

Unfortunately, it seems a number of people can't wrap their minds around the actual article as a whole. Perhaps, they didn't read it in it's entirety. Perhaps, they don't know the definition of hyperbole (and maybe they even pronounce it hyper-bowl). The fact that it's included in the title and the use of "and...scene" at the end should have the effect of neon signage. However, I think these individuals are too ready to defend their personal experiences, even when they aren't being attacked.
You are better at Dodging Reading Comprehension (100)!
I appreciate your thoughts! I'm also glad you got the main points and found it humorous. I honestly can't state any opinion on the Cata content as I haven't experienced it yet, however once I do I plan on revisiting this idea/topic after I have a better grasp on the "state of WoW" in general.
Thanks for the comment.
Well for one I do have a word limit, so keep that in mind! It is extremely easy to make an enormous essay of a column, it is more difficult to pick and choose points while dropping others for the sake of brevity and prioritization. And I agree that the article was a bit schizophrenic direction wise, and that is my fault and I take full credit for that problem. The idea this stemmed from was a rather large package for an article of this length and scope, however I was committed to making it work despite any shortcomings it might entail.
As for your comment about being more serious, I appreciate the sentiment. Two points I want to make to you though are that a) this is an editorial column and b) this column in particular I was shooting for a more entertaining goal. I can write with serious business in mind, and I think my other two articles (and my forthcoming review) show that when I need to be analytical and objective the capacity is there, however with the WoW Factor I like to be a little bit more open-ended and light-humored. WoW as a topic has been done to death over the years and trying to balance being interesting, accurate, and entertaining about a subject matter that has permeated our gaming culture so much is daunting to me personally.
Either way I plan on the next piece to be more serious, perhaps a straight up news article is in order then?
Thanks for your thoughts.
I'm glad you understood the post, and I hope you enjoyed it! :) Also I'm glad someone noticed the "and scene" comment at the end, thank the editor for that!

People simply can't create fun for themselves!
I think people fail to realize that their "psychological needs" can't be met by a game all the time. If it is, then they have some serious problems they must sort out. WoW is a product for one's imagination and entertaining pleasure. They make a decision based on emotions, experiences, and reactions to the game and its content / community. What "ruins" a game for one, makes a game interesting for another. The point is, some people are not mentally strong enough to make reasonable decisions based on what they feel, think, want, and do. Rather, they tend to go like sheep, because the fear of standing out leads to rejection. notice that some of the most top successful people in the world were socially rejected, and now they are accepted (mostly). Haters gonna hate, lovers gonna love, but these WoW trolls want none of the above but to piss on WoW, and anyone who thinks different than them.
If I am successful, I can literally say that being a sheep in a herd is nice for you, but not me. I want to stand out, that way when I want lamb chops, i can take my pick of the sheep and *WHAM!* make my dinner.
Let me say it like Yoda: "Strong in mind, yes I am, but weak in mind, yes you are."
I struggle not with life, money, emotions, and world, but against old mindsets and selves to be proven obsolete in a age and time of rapid changes. Go create fun, so you can have fun.

Japanese Authorities' Crackdown on Chongryon Condemned by Romanian Political Party, Organization
| Pyongyang, April 17 (KCNA) -- A political party and an organization of Romania sent protest letters to the Japanese prime minister on April 9 and 10.
The Socialist Party of Romania said:
The Japanese authorities' illegal decision on allowing the forcible sale of the Korean Hall of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon) is a wanton violation of the dignity and rights of Koreans in Japan and a grave encroachment upon the sovereignty of the DPRK.
We once again remind the Japanese government that the Korean Hall of Chongryon has played the role of a diplomatic mission of the DPRK for the DPRK-Japan friendship and peace in Northeast Asia in the absence of diplomatic relations between the DPRK and Japan.
The Japanese authorities should immediately stop their political crackdown and national persecution against Chongryon and Koreans in Japan and cancel at once their decision on allowing the sale of the Korean Hall of Chongryon.
The Socialist Party of Romania will positively support the Korean people's just struggle.
The Romanian Workers' Association denounced the Japanese authorities for their suppression of Chongryon.
We vividly remember the crimes committed by Japan against the Korean people from long ago.
We strongly urge Japan to stop its moves to seize the Korean Hall of Chongryon.
