The new phoenix mount is such a disgrace. The original Ashes of A'lar mount was put in the game for the child that was diagnosed with the life-threatening illness who visited Blizzard HQ and has since past away. That should be the only Phoenix mount, and it's just unbelievable that now anyone who gets some guild rep will be able to have a purple (armored) one.
Drakkenfyre said...
Ashes of A'lar was meant to go in the game before Ezra Chatterton visited Blizzard for his wish. He was given the first one, but the mount was not made for him.
Aaron Hoffman said...
Actually, the way you seem to play fast and loose with facts is the only disgrace I see.
Esra 'Ephoenix' Chatterton was given the world's first Ashes of A'lar because it tied so closely to his character name. The only things that Ezra actually put in the game were the Ahab Wheathoof questline and the Merciless Gladiator's Crossbow of the Phoenix.
After Ezra passed away in 2008, Blizzard commemorated him once again by renaming Elder Proudhorn in Thunder Bluff, Elder Ezra Wheathoof.

We are in the process of updating this post for 2014. Please check back in early October. Every October, New York City hosts a terrifying number of Halloween activities.

Nike Dunk High Premium ND – Black – Yellow Splatter – East vs. West Rivals Pack
September 19th, 2009 by Aaron Hope | 2 comments
A black pair of Nike Dunk Lows with yellow speckles on the toebox just dropped at Nike Sportswear retailers nationwide. This hightop uses a very similar design but achieves a significantly different effect. Firt off, the speckles are everywhere. The entire upper is covered in tiny yellow splats, a texture interrupted by the all-black patent leather Swooshes. We've seen the lows with black laces and a white midsole and it's surprising how different the use of yellow laces and a black midsole can make these appear. You can preorder them today from Schuh-You.

James Stewart Discuses Supercross, The Internet and His Future with Mike Martin
April 28th, 2009 • Featured, Interview
James Stewart took the win in Salt Lake City. Photo by Brendan Lutes of TWMX.
James Stewart is a superstar of the motocross industry. He rides with incredible flow and style and is constantly raising the sport to a new level. In addition, he is the most well known motocross rider, outside of the industry.
After writing an article on Stewart's new website and Twitter account, I recently got a chance to interview the motocross sensation. Below is the interview in both audio and text format. Enjoy!
Note: This interview was conducted prior to the Salt Lake City Supercross, where James once again bested Chad Reed. He is going into Las Vegas with a 6 point lead over Chad Reed
Audio Interview
The interview was conducted via telephone, so here is the audio of the interview. It is not the highest quality, but it is certainly listenable.
You need to have the Quicktime Player installed, which is free for both Mac and PC from Apple.
If you would like to keep the interview for your records, you can download for free.
Download Mike Martin's interview with James Stewart (10mb, .m4a file format)
Text Interview
In addition to the audio interview, I have also done my best to convert it to text for your convenience. Enjoy!
Photos are from the Monday Wakeup Call, 5 Minutes with James Stewart, and Transworld Motocross's Salt Lake City Race Report.
Mike Martin: Alright, So, First of all, congrats on taking the points lead in Seattle
James Stewart: Thanks man, its felt pretty, pretty good, I would say its been going really good. You know, a couple bad races here and there but overall its going pretty good. I mean, last week I was able to take over the points lead which was a good feeling.
So, you're going into Salt lake City With a 3 Point lead over Chad. It must feel really good to have come back from crashing out of the first round…
Ya I mean it was. For sure. I came back after Atlanta and I had the points lead, but unfortunately I had two bad races. I got second in one, which wasn't bad. But I got 7th in the other and Chad won and ya know that was 11 points lost for me right there. it was one of those things where I've just kind of been putting myself in bad positions all year long but if I can somehow wrap this thing up, I'll definitely be pretty proud of myself.
So, one of the readers of my site asked about the little rivalry between yourself and Chad. Is there like actually something there or is it mostly just played up by the media and the fans?
Well, uh I think its played up more by the media and the fans. but I'm sure there's some animosity and stuff. I mean we both want to win the championship and we're both living the dream so uh there's a little bit of animosity. But, nothing to the point where I hate him and, at least I don't think he hates me to that point. You know, we've had some great races this year and I hope we have 2 more.
So, speaking of Reed, there was a poll on Racer X a few weeks ago asking the fans who they though was going to win the championship, and Reed won with 55% of the votes. Does this type of thing bother you, or is it just more motivation?
Honestly, it doesn't bother me. I mean, obviously its easy to say that because he had the points lead and there were only 3 races left, so I probably would have voted for him. You know none of that stuff bothers me. I try my best every week. I've been riding really good and I believe in my talent and I believe in my work ethic and we'll see what happens. I didn't even see that poll but you know its pretty cool to see what everybody's thinking.
Regardless of the outcome of this years supercross series, you've won almost everything there is to win in professional motocross, what are you goals going into the future in motocross?
Uh, I would like to uh, I want to do the X-games, which I'll have a chance to do this year. Just win more races. Like I'd want to win more championships. I mean, the ultimate goal is to get to 72 [wins], but I've been kind of stalemate for a little while here for a couple weeks. But I've got a couple more personal goals. I don't know if I'll ever get to 72 but I think thats my main one.
Theoretically, If you were to retire after vegas, would you be happy with what you've accomplished in mx? Or is there still more you want to do to complete your career?
Well I mean, I would be happy. Because I never even thought I'd be racing professional motocross and supercross when I was a kid. I used to watch them and it was a dream, and I wished I could do that one day. So, if I quit racing I would be happy, but at the end of the day it would kind of hurt me a little bit because I know I have more to prove, but, I wouldn't be bummed out.
Have you ever considered going to Europe for a few years to show how you match up against their fastest riders?
Honestly, I like racing in the states for some reason. I really do. It's close to home for me. Europe would be a huge change. It's something I would be up to doing, I wouldn't say I wouldn't go over there and do it. I might have an opportunity to race a couple GP's, I don't know how everything's falling together now, but I mean I would like to go over there and see how I stack up against the world.
You are one of the most well known motocross riders outside of the industry.Do you have any plans after you retire to do something outside of motocross.
You know, it depends what opportunity present themselves. Maybe my own TV show. I'm working on a reality TV
show now, we'll see if that goes through. You know, if I had maybe the option to do something, we'll deal with that when we get there.
What exactly is James Stewart Entertainment, one of the sponsors of the San Manuel team?
Well, its a company I started a couple years ago. At first it was really nothing it was just a name and a company. But now, we're starting to maybe get into some clothes. You know, maybe designing some clothes. For me I think it was just something to be part owner of a team. I wanted to think it out and do something a little different. To see if I could position myself to one day have my own race team. We'll have a couple different things like shirts and casual wear, but my ultimate goal is to own my own team.
You recently unveiled a new website (JS7.com), what is the story behind that?
Well, I just think the more popular I get, the more people want to like know what's going on. You know, before we had the website, but I wasn't really involved. I wasn't involved heavy and I think this website, I'll have a lot of content and a lot of involvement and then the Twitter deal was my idea. You know, I said I wanted to do some Twitter stuff and see where that goes. I do it myself, no body else does it. You're actually talking to me.
The site seems to be structured in such a way that it separates your personality on the bike from off., was this done on purpose?
To separate them?
No, its who I am. Its funny. I laugh because people…obviously I'm serious at the race track and I stay to myself. But I have a lot more fun off the race track. But then there's that side of me. I like doing interviews more and stuff like the Rick James video and talking to people 1 on 1. I feel free in front of the camera, you know? I can do whatever I want and I like that.
Were all the candid videos, like the Rick James video, planned? Or did they just kind of happen?
No, honestly all that happened. People obviously want me to do more now, but now its hard. You know, we were just messing around and said "Hey, lets throw some videos up." Rick james was the first video that y'all saw, but there were like 3 or 4 more than that which were probably just as funny. But, my computer ended up getting burnt down, so I lost all the information. But for the Rick James video, and we were just hanging out and wanted to do something different.
Speaking of the internet, there's a lot of people on internet chat rooms and message boards that talk and post stuff. Do you pay attention to these posts and opinions? What's your opinion on all the pundits out there.
What are you talking about as far as a…? Like Vital MX?
Ya, like all those message boards…
Ya, I don't pay attention to those. I feel like honestly I've gone beyond what I should just by like getting on twitter and having a myspace and making myself open. And doing stuff like the Rick James video. I put myself out there. If there's negativity off of that then there's nothing I can do about it. Honestly I'm trying my best and I'm having fun at it. I cant and I don't. people have their opinions and thats their right. But, it doesn't bother me one bit at all.
Ya, the Twitter and everything, that's awesome. Your the first major rider to do that. Do you expect more to do it [Twitter] in the future?
I think so. I mean, I'm getting ready to…I'm walking into the gym and I'll probably Twitter that. I'm doing it for fun. And hopefully I can open up some different avenues for some different people. If I can do it, you can do it. Its something fun to do, and we'll find out pretty soon I guess.
So, Switching gears a bit. you ride road bikes as part of your training, correct?
Ya, I do a lot of road biking as far as my training. And a lot of different stuff. Gym work and a lot of different activities and I like it.
I love road biking. Do you enjoy it as a recreational sport?
Umm, I enjoy it. But I don't know how much I enjoy it. To me, its work because I have to do it to make myself better as far as with training and different stuff. I enjoy doing it, but I enjoy doing other stuff better.
Do you ever use pieces of technology in your training? Such as an iPod or a Garmin GPS bike computer?
Ya, I like listening to my iPods and stuff like that, as far as all my training. To do it right, I pretty much have to have an iPod to do it. So, it kind of reminds me of when I'm racing.
Thanks a lot for talking with me, I really appreciate it.
Ya, no problem buddy, take it easy.
Special Thanks
Obviously, this interview was kind of a big deal for me. James is by far the most famous rider I have ever interviewed, and it was also the first interview I have conducted via telephone.
As a result, there are a number of people I'd like to thank for helping this interview come together.
- James Stewart: I would like to thank James Stewart for taking the time out of his very busy schedule to talk to me. He is getting ready for some of the most important races of his life, and I am very grateful that he took the time to let me interview him.
- Jordan Miller: Jordan is the Media Relations Manager at Red Bull and is the one who originally contacted me regarding the interview, and was the one who set it up with James.
- Tim Crytser:Tim is the main writer and editor of Racer X Virtual Trainer, and gave me a number of extremely helpful tips on how to make the interview the best it could be. Without Tim, I'm sure the interview would not have turned out as well.
- "JayDub:"One of my twitter followers (@Jenninpg), JayDub suggested a number of the questions used in the interview.
Want to be Interviewed on MikeMartinRacing.com?
I am always looking for more people to interview on MikeMartinRacing.com. If you are doing something cool in the motocross or cycling industries, shoot me an email at email@example.com, and we can talk…

Norwich – The city received nine applications from either individuals or firms interested in managing the troubled Norwich Municipal Ice Rink.
The Ice Rink Authority advertised for a director of rink operations, with a salary listed in the "low $50,000" range, after the controversial resignation of former rink manager Mia Sanca. But the authority voted prior to Sanca's March departure to seek applicants. Sanca had been named interim director last June after her husband, Jim Sanca, abruptly resigned.
Mia Sanca resigned March 14 amid criticism for her handling of the Feb. 13 mechanical breakdown and ammonia leak that led to the evacuation of the building and a month-long shutdown. Sanca attempted to withdraw her resignation a week later, however, but was told she was no longer a rink employee when she attempted to resume her duties.
Rink Authority Chairman Francois "Pete" Desaulniers could not be reached for comment this afternoon on how the authority will review the applications.
City Human Resources Director Brigid Marks received the applications at her City Hall office, but said she will not be part of the review process for the position advertised as a "non-city position."
The rink authority has scheduled two special meetings for next week, on Tuesday and Thursday at 7 p.m. to review and discuss reports on the rink's continuing mechanical problems.
Discussion of the rink director applications is not on either agenda, and special meeting agendas cannot be altered during the meeting.

Written by Charlotte Law
Striding past groups of noisy lunch-eaters, this reporter squeezed her way in to the Dan Rather room. Republican Congressman Peter "Pete" Sessions intrigued and excited students at the 'Careers in Politics' event last Friday. The forum opened with an introduction from Dr. O'Neill from the Political Science department. Pete Sessions, who graduated from Southwestern University in 1978, began the discussion by expressing admiration for Southwestern's close-knit community and the subsequent interpersonal skills he learned here. He then opened up the meeting for questions. The audience, which was composed mainly of students from one of Dr. O'Neill's classes, had typed, prepared questions for Representative Sessions. The topics ranged from the conference committees he has served on to the possible conflicts between representation and re-election. When discussing the nature of working in Congress, Pete Sessions discussed the "outlandish power" held by the Senate, and that if Barack Obama wins the current presidential election, there will be unequal representation and very limited room for conservative issues or discussion. He also mentioned that there are blackmail and bribery techniques employed by the senate to not pass bills. Session claimed, "[It is better to pass] a bad piece of legislation than none at all."
When Sessions was asked if he ever felt the need to distance himself from the Republican Party, he stated that there are times when politicians have not followed the party line, and that he becomes separated in this way. One example he used of not staying true to the Republican Party was U.S. President George W. Bush. Sessions claimed that he adopted ideas from Ted Kennedy, such as the No Child Left Behind act. He also did not approve of Bush's action on immigration, which Sessions felt focused too much on homeland security and not on boarder control. His discontent was also felt in the statement that "[Bush] did not veto a single bill." A student asked Session of current members of Congress he thinks would not be re-elected. Due to the recent sex scandal allegations of Representative Tim Mahoney would greatly affect his chance at re-elections. Republican Tom Feeney was also named as a possible politician to not be reelected. On the issue of healthcare, where Session "spent a lot of time on" is a very divided issue between the parties in the house. "The democrats are 100% sold on socialized health care," claimed Sessions, while Republicans are strongly opposed to these measures. Sessions outlined potential negative effects of a public health institution.
The reactions from the students on the forum were positive. One attendee said, "I wasn't interested in the internship going in, but now I'm considering it. [Pete Sessions] was very personal, and I felt I could connect with him." Another student said, "I think that Pete Sessions is a really straight and open guy, and he is not afraid of answering the hard questions. I also appreciate the fact that he is so open with his Washington Semester… He makes it much easier to get work up there. My friends are really excited about the possibility of interning with him."
Pete Sessions was born in Waco, Texas, where he grew up. After graduating from SU, he took up a job with Southwestern Bell where he worked for 16 years. In 1996, the people of Dallas sent Congressman Sessions to represent them in the House of Representatives. In 2002, Sessions began to represent the 32nd district, which encompasses the areas east and north of Dallas. Sessions as two sons, one of which, Bill, is currently a first year at Southwestern. Along with serving on many Congressional committees and caucuses, he is also member of the Rules committee.
The Washington semester encompasses interests and opportunities from a variety of disciplines, from politics and economics to fine arts, health and journalism. Students work at Capitol Hill, in the White House, the courts or as a part of a special interest group. A student is paired with a politician or group that best suits his or her political leanings or interests. Twelve to fifteen credit hours can be obtained by this internship and students reside in apartments on Capitol Hill. This opportunity results from a relationship that Southwestern holds with the United Methodist College at Washington Consortium. Details and a downloadable application can be found on the Southwestern website. Sessions claimed that students need "the interest and acumen" to pursue this internship, and there are cases of people who have gone on to work in Washington after their time at Southwestern.

You and everyone you know could be a target of identity fraud. Are you protected?
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics Personal Fraud Survey 2010-11, Australians lost $1.4 billion due to personal fraud, which includes credit card fraud, identity theft and scams.
More alarmingly, the survey estimated a total of 1.2 million Australians aged 15 years and over were victim of at least one incident of personal fraud.
International research also indicates that identity crime is the fastest growing crime type with some studies indicating growth of up to 10 per cent.
The Australian Federal Police is working together with National Identity Fraud Awareness Week, state and territory police, commonwealth and state government departments and industry to fight this crime.
Both individuals and businesses are at risk of identity theft. By practicing sound identity security habits and implementing a few personal and organisational security measures, you will join us in the fight against identity fraud.
Simple changes in personal behaviour can make a difference to identity security.
Take the survey and learn more about how you can protect yourself from identity fraudsters and scammers.
If you or your business becomes a victim of identity fraud, make sure you contact the relevant authority within your state or territory to report this crime.
