Hay fellas,
I'm 20, from south Georgia, I'm a certified union pipe welder/apprentice thru UA 72 in Atl, GA. I can weld on carbon, stainless, aluminum. I have limited experience with sheet metal and i have limited tools but I have the desire to learn and i will listen to anyone who will help me. I've been watching Jesse James others build their own gas tanks/fenders and the like, I want to know the best way to learn the metal forming skill, and proper mock up, wiring, and anything else that i have left out.
Thanks Again

Custom Metal Working on Motorcyles
short of apprenticeship or going to school for body work I would suggest starting at www.tinmantech.com/
good videos here
some good stuff here
there is some interesting stuff here
there are many places on the web to read or watch how (YouTube has a pile), but the best I found is get some sheet metal, basic hand tools and beat/ twist/ bend stuff till it looks like you wanted or you have to get another piece and try again. There are dozens of basic classes, DVDs and books/ pamphlets out there. I've watched a few old school auto body guys and googled the rest of what I know and can scrap a good piece of sheet pretty quickly.
"the best I found is get some sheet metal, basic hand tools and beat/ twist/ bend stuff till it looks like you wanted or you have to get another piece and try again"
this is excellent advice and is also my recomendation. Metal shaping equipment can be expensive, but the results you can get with clamps, presses, wooden jigs to bend around and some creativity and ingenuity is amazing!!!!!

They could still have the logo facing the same way on the helmet, but have it going the other way on all other materials. The only forward-facing logo I can think of is the Eagles. All the others face left to right. Eg. Cardinals, Falcons, Panthers, Patriots, Bills, etc.
Look at all the logos lined up next to each other at the top of http://www.nfl.com/ to see what I mean. The Eagles logo is the only one facing the other way.
Lol this thread just cracks me up. "THE DOLPHIN IS FACING THE OTHER WAY!!!! HOW DARE THEY!!!" Give me a break people, stop jumping to conclusions and speculating, we will find out soon enough and if Dan and Brian say they like it then that should be enough for all of you to step away from the ledge and just let this play out.
Doesn't the league mandate all logos must face "forward"; meaning toward the mask on helmets, and toward the breastplate on uniforms?
all white is classy
I too would like to go back to the 72 uniforms or at least that shade of Aqua
For whatever it's worth, I know the poster Crazy685 personally. I haven't discussed this with him, but if he says he's seen it, he's seen it.
Edit: Now that I've texted back and forth with him, I can confirm how he saw it (it's weird posting it that way when he's posting in the same thread, lol). I've seen a preliminary artists concept and confirm that it's helmetless (don't pm me. I won't send it to you). He's keeping the more final version under wraps which I understand. We'll see it soon enough.

To steal a more apt description from him:
"In essence its a dolphin, more realistic dolphin sort of gracefully soaring in the air, with a big radial sun behind it. That's it. No helmet on the dolphin. Just looks like a cleaner modernized logo."
Personally, I saw it in phase 3, which was apparently one of the final "mock ups". I didn't talk to the guy (team) who designed it. The Dolphin picture I saw was reversed but that could easily be the way they do things in beta of graphic design? I honestly have no idea. He didn't say "It'll face the other way" or anything, just showed me the pic
Sun is 100% in the background. I honestly liked the logo, and I love our current logo, so take that for what it's worth. Like I said, feel free to quote me months from now when they release it and laugh/gasp at how close/far away I was
I like keeping the sun...
Less cartoony & more realistic Dolphin sounds interesting...
Not sure how I feel about the helmet, I'll need to wait to see it first.
A good friend will come and bail you out of jail...but, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn...that was fun!"

Here is a couple aluminum brackets I made for a condo at the beach. The larger one holds a 1/2" rod with canvas over it and is made to remove the canvas in the winter and the smaller one holds bottom brackets. We couldn't find replacements quickly so I made 4 of the larger ones and 2 of the smaller ones. All made from 1/4" alum. The stud is 5/16" stainless and gets a stainless wing nut

Those are cute little nippers. Well done.
shore beats waiting a week for them to come in the mail or driving all around town looking for them. man its nice to have a welder around.
i see you photo shoped out a not so nice looking weld bead. we would not have held it against ya, aluminum is a pain. as long as it holds good cosmetics will come in time, the other one looks realy nice.thanks for the help
hope i helped

"photo shop" ?? All I did was put the parts on my desk, take [2] pictures and download them. I have no clue how to "photo shop" them. I just did learn how to make them small enough to fit on here you know Mega bit size and all. They were always too big to fit. They are the same parts in both pics! Just a little further away so you could see how small they were. Your right about the welds the larger one has some nice ripples, the smaller is more flat with very small ripples. Thats a problem I have mentioned on here before. Sometimes I get nice ripples other times a smooth weld. Maybe too hot or not enough filler, not sure, I keep trying different ways,I have sawed some welds apart before and the smooth welds are just as good as the nice ripples, so they are good welds just not as nice looking. I'm not sure how to doctor pics but if I did know how I would not do that because thats not a "real" picture and I have no one to impress anyway, You can't learn anything from posting a fake pic! I don't mind constructive ctiticism so I post them as they are. Just to clear that up.Scott

Next time I gotta make some little bitty parts and pieces I'm gonna send em to you. It's amazing how much time you can put into them little parts with out even realizing it. Looks good though. DaveIf necessity is the Mother of Invention, I must be the Father of Desperation!

Another racing great gone but not to be forgotten.http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...modified&hl=en
not ment to be mean, just had to throw it out cuzz the one was blury. to tell the truth i cant do any thing with the photo shop eather i think i have a few programs that are suposed to do stuf but never took the time to figure them out, just not important enough to bother.
i know what you mean about a smooth bead, i ran some steel the other day and it looked like i just layed down a solid bead of calk, no rippels at all just smooth one long bead no rippels at all. i think you are right about it being too hot as the cause, but it wqas a good solid joint so i just went with it and didnt worry about it. i think travel speed and heat both play a big part in getting good rippels. i lerned on O/A and as such had a lot of solid beads as i would just keep it wet and keep a solid feed going with the filler and moveing along. once i started TIG i would back off the heat a lil to help let the puddle freez up when i backed the torch up to add filler.
microsoft has a great resizer program on there web site for windows XP if you have that system on your comp. i can get you a link if you would like. its a simple program that dose a great job at resizing the pic without making it blurry. lots of people on here use it as i do and i have been using it for a wile with no problems. its fast and simple and alows you to do a hole folder full of pic's at the same time, you dont even have to open the pic.thanks for the help
hope i helped

The camera I used is the one we have at work and it acts strange. For one thing everytime you push the button to take a picture, it takes [3] pictures. We can't figure out how to turn that function off. I'm sure there is but we've not mastered it yet. also all 3 pics are different if you move the slightest, probably the cause of the bluriness. I also learned to weld with stick first [done that the most] then O/A, brazing alot. Never used a MIG untill about 10-12 yrs ago and TIG in the last 3-4 yrs so still working on that.Scott
HMW [Heavy Metal welding]
HMW, I figured 2 things:
1) pic was blurry (some cameras give a lousy foreground or background). The
sensors on some cameras aren't as good as others. Instead of focusing on
the overall, they focus on one thing and everything else gets blurry.
2) your weld just came out smooth for some reason. I've had that happen a
lot of times too. when I get that, I use my dremel tool to "make" the nice
ripple" effect!!! Nah, I would never do that!!!!!!
Welds actually look really nice!!!I'm not late...
I'm just on Hawaiian Time

That is a feature called bracketing, (I think, or something like that), it takes a picture at the exposure settings you think is right, then does one at more light and the third at less light.
One of those special features that gets turned on and hard to turn off...
the other thing it could be is if the camera is set to action or sports mode, it will do quick bursts of pictures.
Long exposures due to low light require a tripod. Long exposures give you a greater depth of field, ie, sharpness in a larger area of the focus range, but will often require a tripod or a really steady hand. The best snapshots are from brighter light environments, the camera can use a faster shutter speed and smaller aperature, thus get a good depth of field or sharpness through the entire picture.
Cool parts.

I was just wondering if the GDGO has put any thought into a Two day event using Alexander and Lenora. It appears that this will be the first time since...maybe the 90s, that Lenora wont hold a tournament all year. It would be nice to see hotlanta return to Redan and LP. However with the forming of the GDGO and the huge success that is Alexander Park it would be great to see an Annual two day event in Gwinnett.
Just food for thought

MLB Scout School: Day 6
"A scout must have honesty, integrity, and loyalty."
-MLSB Development Handbook
Today, we had the honor of meeting and listening to Don Pries. Eighty-four year old, Mr. Pries founded the Scout Development program 26 years ago. Beyond the amazing things that he has contributed to the baseball world, there is another reason I like him – He just looks happy. He radiates a sense of peace with his smile, kind eyes, and the encouraging words he shares.
Mr. Pries addressed us with a brief but inspiring talk. The beginning and end of his speech will always stay with me.
Thin and white haired, with a small bend in his upper back, Mr. Pries slowly but steadily walks up to the podium. He looks out at us. And in a confident and booming voice, he begins:
Do you have goals?
Do you have dreams?
Do you have goals and dreams that haven't come true?
If it happens to you – then get another goal – get another dream.
Soaking in every word, we listen with rapt attention. Mr. Pries continues on about the joy of scouting, the benefits of the school, and the friends he has made along the way. Then he stops; looks out at us one more time. And with a smile, he concludes:
God bless you all.
And may all of your dreams come true.

I strongly recommend for anyone to get this if they want a true experience of mind blowing tea, especially if you mix it with sugar and milk.

Why Do Madison Liberals Hate Women?
What is it about conservative women that drives the media so crazy?
First, you had the disgraceful assault on Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch by a Madison talk show host. An attack which, by the way, has never been denounced by the raging hypocrites that constitute the liberal elite in this State.
Now, you have a truly bizarre blog posting on the website of the ever so politically correct Capital Times about Ciara Matthews, the campaign spokesperson for Governor Walker. The point of the story? When she was in college, Ms. Matthews supported herself by working as a waitress - at a Hooters Restaurant!
Yes, the same restaurant chain that has locations in Brookfield and Greenfield.
Talk about a slow news day in Madison.
Bloggers for The Capital Times apparently felt that this was enough of a story to ask Ms Matthews whether Governor Walker knew of her past when he hired her? Huh?
They also cited a website that questioned how a pro-life Republican could have worked at Hooters? Really? I mean, I've eaten at Hooters from time to time and have never heard a waitress offering abortions along with the chicken wings.
Seriously, if either Tammy Baldwin or Kathleen Falk had worked as a waitress at a sports bar while putting themselves through college, you know how the story would have been written: "Liberal woman starts as waitress, works her way to position of power". When it's a conservative woman however, it's something else.
Talk about a war on women - at least a war on conservative women!
I hope the disdain that some on the Left have for females like Rebecca Kleefisch and Ann Romney is now clear to everyone.
As for Ms. Matthews, I don't think she needs to wear a scarlet "H". She does need to realize however that she has a target on her back - because there are a lot of Madison liberals that hate conservative women simply because they're conservative women.
I'm frequently asked by candidates and political operatives to meet for coffee in order to discuss the issues in a particular campaign. The next time Ms. Matthews contacts me, I know where I'm going to suggest we meet.
Now that will be a story!

En español | Michelle Chesney-Offutt, 54, had been out of work for about a year when she got a call from a recruiter seeking someone with help-desk skills.
At first, the headhunter told her she was a great match, but when he realized she had been out of work for a full year (and not newly unemployed as he had mistakenly assumed), he changed his tune. Company criteria ruled out applicants who had been unemployed for more than six months, he told her. "He was very apologetic," says Chesney-Offutt, who lives in Sandwich, Ill.
See also: 5 businesses you can start.
"Once they become unemployed, it takes older workers far longer than younger workers to find a new job, so a policy of not hiring the long-term unemployed has an age discriminatory effect," says Deborah Chalfie, AARP's senior legislative representative for financial security & consumer affairs.
Such policies are all too common in the current economy. And older workers can be frequent victims. As of June, jobless people who were 55 and older had been out of work for almost 56 weeks, compared with 38 weeks for all age groups, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Unemployed need not apply
So just how common is the practice? Some employers suggest that it's rare. Mike Aitken, vice president of government affairs for the Society for Human Resource Management, says that, while there may be employers who follow that policy, his group is "unaware of this as a widespread practice."
He says that in a recent talk to an audience of more than 400 employers at the society's annual meeting, he asked whether any of the attendees had ever written such a job posting. "No one did," Aitken said. "The reaction was more like, 'What a dumb practice.'"
But an advocacy group that has looked into the issue comes to a different conclusion. In a review of help-wanted online postings between March 9 and April 5, 2011, the National Employment Law Project found 150 ads screening applicants based on current employment status.
Online job listing site CareerBuilder was among the sites accepting such ads. Although the company has issued a statement that it "strongly supports fair and equal hiring practices," critics ask why it hasn't simply refused to run the ads.

An Introduction to LACE
Most of the questions that come to the APNA Board and staff center on one or more aspects of licensing, accreditation, certification or education, or LACE. Curiosity is good; action would be even better. To say that LACE is confusing and inconsistent is an understatement. In a changing landscape, advanced-practice nurses, those who educate them and those who strive for advanced practice must understand the differences among these terms. As members of this professional organization, you must know how APNA is involved in changes and recognize how you can be involved in improving LACE.
Just to ensure that we are on the same page:
How does all this relate to you?
For several years, nursing organizations, including ours, have been meeting to clarify the murky territory of advanced-practice nursing. The product of these meetings, The Consensus Model for APRN: Licensure, Accreditation, Certification & Education, defines advanced nursing practice, describes a proposed regulatory model, identifies advanced-practice titles, defines "specialty," and describes how new roles and population foci might develop. In October, the APNA Board endorsed this document. To find out more, visit the APRN Consensus Model page.
The lack of consistency and clarity in the titles used to regulate advanced practice nurses at the state level hurts nurses' ability to move to and practice in different states. Although all of the work cited above represents efforts to clarify and standardize LACE, the regulation of nursing practice is still determined by states' nurse practice acts and associated rules and regulations.
Imagine how much influence we as a profession could have if each state chapter would set as a goal the gubernatorial appointment of one APNA member to each state board of nursing.

Saverio Rocca fought a brilliant rearguard action to hold out skateboarding star Corbin Harris in today's second and final Lexus Celebrity Challenge race at the 2011 Formula 1 Qantas Australian Grand Prix.
Harris stalked Rocca the whole way, but just couldn't break down the defences of the former AFL great, who has now taken his prodigious kicking skills all the way to the NFL in America.
And the pace was red-hot too, with Rocca's elapsed time four seconds faster than his race one effort.
"This has been a great experience, and it's something I won't forget in a hurry," said Rocca. "Thanks to Lexus and all the drivers for what has been an unbelievable week, and I certainly wasn't expecting to win both races – but I will take it.
"I'd actually like to do a bit more racing, but there's the small problem of being 40kg heavier than most other drivers…"
Rocca defeated Harris by 1.3884 seconds to bring up his clean sweep, while third place was taken by the fast-finishing Giaan Rooney, with the former swimming star holding off ironman Shannon Eckstein in a run to the finish line.
It was a swashbuckling 'comeback' performance from Rooney, who only finished a lowly 10th in race one.
"I apologise for giving Shannon a 'toot' on the final corner, but it was all good fun," said Rooney. "And I had to get on the podium, as my fiancé said he wouldn't marry me otherwise!"
Entertainer Brian McFadden was heavily involved in that battle for third, but he ran wide and touched the fence coming onto the home straight for the last time.
He quickly fell back through the tight pack to finish 10th, with positions 5-9 taken by Callan Mulvey, Nick Cooper, Luke Ricketson, Andrew Scifleet and Danny Wallis.
McFadden wasn't the only celebrity to lose traction in the rough and tumble of the five-lapper, with comedian Tom Gleeson, Ricketson and Melbourne radio king Ross Stevenson also falling by the wayside at various stages.
Stevenson was the only driver who failed to finish in his CT200h, again leaving Lauren Phillips as the final driver to cross the finish line.

text: Dolphin Stories Friday, December 27, 2013 Club Sports Growing by Leaps and Bounds 8:59 AM :: 4183 Views Le Moyne's newest club sport, the Le Moyne Equestrian Team, got its official start this fall. Nicolle Madonna, accomplished rider and trainer, serves as the head coach, and Le Moyne alum Katherine Greene '12 is coordinator of fundraising and media relations. The team's goal is to work with riders of all abilities in order to build a solid foundation of proper equestrian training and horsemanship. The team focuses on instilling the values of hard work and dedication in each of its riders to achieve positive results. A total of 25 students are part of the inaugural team, demonstrating the popularity of equestrianism in Central New York.

Gallery: Beijing Water Cube Transformed Into Happy Magic Water Park!
The Water Cube, originally designed by Australian firm PTW Architects with the help of Arup, was already an amazing work of architecture that garnered a number of awards and had some record-breaking swimming go on inside of it. With its bubbly facade, incredible daylit interior and energy efficient design, it would have been a shame to let this building just sit there. So we're pleased as can be that the facility has been turned into an fantastical aquatic playground where families can go and spend time together.
Happy Magic Water Park recently opened on August 8th after a year of renovations, led by Forrec, a Toronto-based design firm that specializes in entertainment and leisure facilities. Inside it is a magical underwater wonderland with hanging ribbons, blue bubbles and floating jellyfish. There are about 10 different "rides" including a wave pool, tube slides, speed slides and even a lazy river. Daylighting through the ETFE pillow exterior still plays a major role in the facility and at night, interior lights shine out to illuminate the surrounding area. The Olympic pool is still used for swimming matches, but now the rest of the facility can be used on a regular basis.

16 CFR 240.9 - Proportionally equal terms.
(a) Promotional services and allowances should be made available to all competing customers on proportionally equal terms. No single way to do this is prescribed by law. Any method that treats competing customers on proportionally equal terms may be used. Generally, this can be done most easily by basing the payments made or the services furnished on the dollar volume or on the quantity of the product purchased during a specified period. However, other methods that result in proportionally equal allowances and services being offered to all competing customers are acceptable.
(b) When a seller offers more than one type of service, or payments for more than one type of service, all the services or payments should be offered on proportionally equal terms. The seller may do this by offering all the payments or services at the same rate per unit or amount purchased. Thus, a seller might offer promotional allowances of up to 12 cents a case purchased for expenditures on either newspaper advertising or handbills.
Example 1:
A seller may offer to pay a specified part (e.g., 50 percent) of the cost of local advertising up to an amount equal to a specified percentage (e.g., 5 percent) of the dollar volume of purchases during a specified period of time.
Example 2:
A seller may place in reserve for each customer a specified amount of money for each unit purchased, and use it to reimburse these customers for the cost of advertising the seller's product.
Example 3:
A seller should not provide an allowance or service on a basis that has rates graduated with the amount of goods purchased, as, for instance, 1 percent of the first $1,000 purchased per month, 2 percent of the second $1,000 per month, and 3 percent of all over that.
Example 4:
A seller should not identify or feature one or a few customers in its own advertising without making the same service available on proportionally equal terms to customers competing with the identified customer or customers.
Example 5:
A seller who makes employees available or arranges with a third party to furnish personnel for purposes of performing work for a customer should make the same offer available on proportionally equal terms to all other competing customers or offer useable and suitable services or allowances on proportionally equal terms to competing customers for whom such services are not useable and suitable. 1
1 The discriminatory purchase of display or shelf space, whether directly or by means of so-called allowances, may violate the Act, and may be considered an unfair method of competition in violation of section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act.
Example 6:
A seller should not offer to pay a straight line rate for advertising if such payment results in a discrimination between competing customers; e.g., the offer of $1.00 per line for advertising in a newspaper that charges competing customers different amounts for the same advertising space. The straight line rate is an acceptable method for allocating advertising funds if the seller offers small retailers that pay more than the lowest newspaper rate an alternative that enables them to obtain the same percentage of their advertising cost as large retailers. If the $1.00 per line allowance is based on 50 percent of the newspaper's lowest contract rate of $2.00 per line, the seller should offer to pay 50 percent of the newspaper advertising cost of smaller retailers that establish, by invoice or otherwise, that they paid more than that contract rate.
Example 7:
A seller offers each customer promotional allowances at the rate of one dollar for each unit of its product purchased during a defined promotional period. If Buyer A purchases 100 units, Buyer B 50 units, and Buyer C 25 units, the seller maintains proportional equality by allowing $100 to Buyer A, $50 to Buyer B, and $25 to Buyer C, to be used for the Buyers' expenditures on promotion.
Title 16 published on 2015-01-01.
No entries appear in the Federal Register after this date, for 16 CFR Part 240.

Portland has been successful in making bicycle ridership a part of daily life in Portland. That statement is taken directly from Portland's Comprehensive Plan . It is a core element of our bicycle policies. Over the past 14+ years we have worked hard to make bicycling more convenient, comfortable, and accessible to more people throughout Portland and we have been successful.
How do we measure success? Our new Portland Bicycle Plan for 2030 calls for more than a quarter of all trips to be made by bicycling by 2030.
While we don't have the ability to accurately measure bicycle mode share* for all trips, we do have a number of indicators showing that bicycle use is increasing as conditions improve for biking. Among the more important indicators are the regular bicycle counts we've conducted at locations throughout the city. The most significant locations are at the city's four main bicycle-friendly bridges: the Broadway, Steel, Burnside & Hawthorne. These are the bridges with bicycle facilities on them, and generally leading to them. Bicycle use on these four bridges has grown 322% since 1991, while automotive trips have not increased at all
Other data indicating a strong upward trend in bicycle comes from Portland's Auditor's Office.
*Mode share is the percentage of all trips—not just commute trips—taken using a particular mode of transportation.

November 8, 2013BlizzCon WoW News (P1) by Raylan13read more...
Comment here!
Greetings from Anaheim! We've managed to survive the first bit of BlizzCon and have some great news about the next Warcraft expansion: Warlords of Draenor (ps - The Dark Below was a hoax). I know everyone just wants to get to the meat of the news, so here we go!
Remember Garrosh? Yeah, who doesn't? Well, if you thought he would roll over and stay imprisoned indefinitely, you are dead wrong. Garrosh escapes imprisonment and, thanks to a "friend" that can bend time, hops back to where it all began: before the opening of the Dark Portal.
To what end, though? One might think his motives pure (if one hadn't met him) as he wants to prevent the orcs from drinking the blood of Mannoroth. That's all well and good, but his true reason? To unite the orc clans within Draenor, arm them with modern-day technology, and then bring them through a Dark Portal that is tweaked to dump this new Iron Horde into our time. Not to have tea, but to crush the Horde and Alliance.
You may be rolling your eyes and sighing just a touch if you think he'll be the main boss of the expansion again, but fear not: Chris Metzen has been kind enough to shoot that theory down. There is a "man behind the man" that we'll be meeting.

BlizzCon 2013 is right around the corner, and today Blizzard Entertainment opened doors to the pre-sale the Blizzard Store. The assortment of items includes a Diablo III backpack, a WoW mahjong set, a handful of cute plushies, and various art books, among other things. If you were lucky enough to get a physical ticket or purchased a virtual ticket, the sale will run from October 11 through November 9; remember additional items will be added as time goes on.
If you are lucky enough to be an attendee, consider heading over to the Meeting Stone to see who else is going, plan any meetups, or gloat (well, maybe not that...). There will also be a physical Meeting Stone at the conference:
The Blizzard Community Team and other staff members will be on-hand to interact with those summoned to the Meeting Stone (and to mitigate potential corpse camping). We'll be putting together a schedule to reserve space and times for larger groups, to also be displayed at the event.
Connected realms
Two more realms have been put on the list for Connected Realms: Black Dragonflight and Skullcrusher; Boulderfist and Bloodscalp were the first.
Blizz is rolling this out slowly, measuring the technical limitations and adjusting accordingly. Once they have it nailed down and the bumps smoothed out you can bet they'll be quicker with these sorts of things.
Warcraft movie
It doesn't look like it's been widely publicized, but according to Irish Central it appears the powers that may be are eying Colin Farrell for the Warcraft Movie. Was he mentioned in our fan-made Warcraft Movie Actors list?
It turns out Vivendi, the company that owned majority stakeholder in Activision Blizzard for a bit o' time now, has been given the green light to sell most of their ActBlizz shares back to the game company as well as an investor group led by Bobby Kotick. The deal was stalled earlier this year and sent to court, as at least one minority shareholder thought other minority shareholders should be included in the decision. A lower court judge supported that, but now the higher court has overturned the verdict, and it's expected the sale will happen momentarily, before the Tuesday deadline.
Vivendi will still hold a 12% stake in the company.
The lighter side
- Check out some great Chinese fan art!
- The Onion: always a reputable source of factual information - new Warcraft sequel!

A month has gone by since our last news update. We're still waiting for Patch 5.4.0 which, among other things, brings us the Siege of Orgrimmar and Virtual Realms. So what's the news in the meantime?
Warcraft Movie trailer
If you were lucky enough to attend Comic-Con recently, Blizzard released a very short video blip about the Warcraft movie. Judging by news reports, it wasn't really a trailer as opposed to a "mood piece", but the excitement is building. No one's been permitted to show the clip online, but here's a short description:
Warrior roaming an empty desert with a shield on his back. Greenish sky is covered by dark clouds and lightning. He sees a pile of armor on the ground and lands down to pick up a shield. He then takes his sword and beats it against the shield, as though calling someone out. We then see a green beast from behind holding a giant hammer. The two circle each other and then both charge. As they are about to collide the title appears: Warcraft...
- PC Mag
From what little information has been released it's speculated that the movie will be a combination of live action with some hefty CG thrown in.
Blizz Shop
Forbes, among others, is in a constant state of wondering if Warcraft will move to the free-to-play option, considering their recent admission that they're working on an in-game store for players:
Items have already reported relating to xp buffs and an alternate means to acquire Lesser Charm of Good Fortune. It will be released to the Asian market first, but there's no reason or indication to believe it won't open up to other markets.
But does this mean Blizzard is moving to a free-to-play scheme soon? Not likely. Sure, subscriber numbers are down, but the game still supports a massive population. I suppose the cynic may point out that the company is looking for a back up once the inevitable happens, and maybe that's true, but it won't be for many years. And as for the pay-to-win argument? Blizzard already quashed those rumors a while back when the first in-game pet showed up at the store.
Children's Bookchildren's book. Yes, it looks as if every character within will be a baby. Baby Varian! Baby Thrall!
June 28, 2013News Roundup 6/28 by Raylan13read more...
It's been a little bit of time since out last news roundup, but we thought we'd throw some more news together for your reading pleasure... or displeasure, as some of the current news might illicit. First up: hacking Warcraft.
Account Security Warning
Unless you've been hiding under a rock or perhaps don't use the mobile features Blizzard has provided, you have surely heard by now that the mobile armory was somehow hacked. Many players have had large quantities of gold vanish from their characters, spent on worthless junk on the Auction House.
Thankfully the good folks at Blizzard were able to muddle through the issue and fix it, restoring access to the armory. There's likely still plenty of players out there who are awaiting restoration of items and gold. Blizzard stresses again the importance of having an Authenticator.
Visit the WoW theme park!
(...in China...)
As if the talk about hacking hasn't already gotten a few feathers ruffled, there's another report about the World of Warcraft theme park in China. I mean, Blizz says it's WoW-themed, but I just don't know... China says it's called "Joyland". Surely they're telling the truth.

October 31, 2013WoWWiki hits 99,000 pages! by Fandyllicread more...
I know the way the wiki calculates the page count is a mystery and potentially sketchy, but when the number shows 99,000 (which happened yesterday, 30-October-2013) it is a ton of pages!
What does this mean? Not much in the larger scheme of things, but it does mean we're very close to the even bigger number: 100,000 pages. So you may get harassing notices from the admins about a push to 100K. We'll definitely try to make it part of a contest with some kind of prize or prizes. Most likely it will be some swag from BlizzCon 2013, but who knows?
WoWWiki hit around 50K pages in late 2007, only about 3 years after it started, so growth has clearly slowed since then. So many pages to add! After BlizzCon I'm going to look into ways to make adding content easier, especially filling in those super-complicated templates that make WoWWiki look so good, but also make it harder to add stuff that looks nice. Some ideas include better boilerplates (including new ones for things like battle pets, glyphs, etc.), third party tools that work with your browser to quickly fill-in stuff (on the Mac, I use TextExpander), and if possible, some in-wiki tools (like better pre-loads or template entry UI).So how soon can we get to 100K? I'm guessing after BlizzCon, we will get there pretty fast just to keep up with announcements.
July 24, 2013Site improvements by Raylan13read more...
Over the past few months - actually since the beginning of the year and then some - we've been working on making improvements to the site. Some it is for aesthetics while others are for ease of use and greater functionality. Read on for a more detailed listing of what we've worked on!
Perhaps the biggest and most complicated project was working out how maps work on the site. Working heavily with code-wiz Pecoes, we mapped out how we wanted things to function and came up with some nice shiny tools that readers should find useful.
Map notes
- Shops and other areas of note
Click on the above maps to expand them into their own lightbox. The maps and legend respond to screen size. You can look via the legend or on the map itself; either way you'll get the location you need. You can also locate coordinates yourself by passing the mouse over the map. The symbols on the map are now standardized, so going from page to page you should be able to recognize at a glance those things most important to you.
This functionality also allows us to size the maps however we need on the page.
Map Coordinates
We figured it was hard using the coordinates template at times to see exactly what location was being pinpointed due to the size of the hover map. Now, when you click on the coordinates shown on a page, the same new map lightbox will open and the exact coordinate will show on the map.
Here's an example: [70, 58]
Notice the map hover functionality is still maintained.
The golden color also matches another template devised that works directly with map images:
Table of Contents
Sometimes our table of contents can be rather large, or maybe they just look out of place on some screens. Even then, for really long pages, you'd have to either scroll through to where you want to continue reading or go back to the TOC at the top.
Here's what we did (you can test it with this page's TOC!):
- Clicking on the small square icon within the TOC will detach the table. You can move this anywhere on the page you want, and the content shifts to accommodate the empty space.
- Clicking the arrow button will return you to the top of the page.
- Clicking the reset button will return the box to its original detached position.
- Clicking the "x" will reattach the TOC as it would normally appear, docked, on the page.
- When scrolling through the page, the box stays fixed, meaning no matter where you are, you'll always have it at your fingertips. This way you can click on any of the TOC links at any time, without having to scroll all the way back up to the top.
- What if you don't want it detached? Well, click on the small icon immediately to the left of the edit link on any header and you'll be sent right back to the TOC.
Class pages
We've had an enormous revamp of the class pages. Readers no longer have to go to a handful of pages to get the information they need. Instead, each class page will have the following information at minimum: Background/Introduction, Races, Specializations, Stats, Skills (Core abilities and talents), and Glyphs.
Other classes, such as pet classes, will have additional information. Some even have extended information, TCG images, racial advantages, etc.
Reward sections
As of now, this is still a work in progress, but the end result is that hopefully every page will eventually have the rewards (armor/weapons/items) presented like this:
This item is a reward for the following class/spec:
This makes it easy to tell at a glance what class and spec the item is intended for.
Search bar
Up in the top right of the site is the search bar. Now we have an image placed within that will reflect either the current expansion (so Mists of Pandaria for now) or the current in-game holiday. This dovetails nicely with the change in wordmark that occurs with each holiday.
Past changes
Just in case you missed it, here are some other changes we worked into the site:
- Adding 3d model viewing support, partnering with wowhead
- Greatly enhanced blogs that are featured on the main page
- At-a-glance improvements to infoboxes to show normal, elite, rare, and rare elite
- Incorporating TCG image parameters into templates; creating a TCG box for pages where this was not possible.
If I've missed something, it's because we're busy working on things almost all the time. We've got some plans for future tweaks that we hope you'll find useful!
August 31, 2011Ideas to bring subscribers back to World of Warcraft by Fandyllicread more...
- I will try to keep this blog post up to date and modify it based on commentary.
Commentary and ideas
- Commentary on casuals...
As much press as hardcore players get around World of Warcraft, the difference in making money or not for Blizzard Entertainment is not the hardcore players. Hardcore players don't represent the majority of players, but use up a vast majority of the resources in the game. This is because it is obvious that Blizzard spends a majority of its time catering to hardcore players. They spend inordinate amounts of time creating, refining and tweaking top-level raids, creating and tinkering with itemization for top-level raids and heroic instances, and responding to complaints and support requests from raiders. Blizzard is falling into the squeaky wheel trap.
Because of this misplaced focus on hardcore players and their desire for top-level content, Blizzard is losing casuals. Casuals is what separates World of Warcraft from most MMOs. When the game first came out it was by far the most casual friendly MMO with the most depth and wise gameplay compromises. Blizzard has lost its way from this winning formula and so it is losing casuals[1] at a rate too fast to maintain growth or even keeping at a plateau.[2][3]
Why are casuals so important? Because they pay as much as hardcore players, but use far less of Blizzard's resources. If the trend continues, Blizzard will continue to spend more and more resources on less and less players. It could become a vicious cycle.[4] This time is still probably quite far off, since Blizzard can probably justify and maintain adequate content release cycles as long as their player base remains in the multiple millions, but they appear to be on the downside of the game's life-cycle[5] and are doing very little to really reverse the trend.
- Commentary on twinks
Another group of players, some of whom could actually be considered "hardcore" in many respects, that Blizzard is also neglecting is the twink community. Blizzard has apparently long voiced its support for the twink community, but hasn't really delivered in their laser focus on end-game content.[6] Although they acknowledge the problem, Blizzard has actually stated that their priority is on max-level PvP and that they apparently don't want to divert resources away from that.[7] The twink community is less interested in immersion, lore, and quests than some of the casual community, but they definitely want focus on non-level cap, non-end game content. The twinks want attention to class balance and itemization at lower levels. So, as casuals will spend more time leveling at low levels, some of the benefits gained from aiding either twinks or casuals will benefit both.
- General
- Allow the use of rest as a sort of currency or pre-req for some content.
- Remove as much grinding as possible. Basically, this means put something in dailies or other rep grind activities far more optional.
- Dailies should give you something useful like profession ingredients, drink, food, potions, etc. and not just money and rep.
- Dailies should help complete some larger task, like the opening of Ahn'Qiraj or the various phases of Isle of Quel'Danas.
- Make more dailies for different levels, but with much shorter rep grinds (remove the big grind to exalted for dailies below the level cap).
- Adjust all-level dailies to be divided among racial capitals to make each a quest hub for different level ranges of players. This way, there would be less congestion.
- Stormwind City/Orgrimmar for level 81+.
- Dalaran for level 71 - 80.
- Shattrath City for level 61 - 70.
- Ironforge/Undercity for level 41 - 60.
- Darnassus/Exodar/Thunder Bluff/Silvermoon City for level 1 - 40.
- Add more low level instances in or near racial capitals not congregated by level cap players.
- These low-level instances, if done right can also serve the cross purpose of working on twink class balance through itemization coming out of these new instances.
- Make frequenting less central racial capitals easier by making getting in and out or getting between key buildings easier.
- Put flight path destination inside Exodar/Undercity or portal inside from flight path.
- Allow players to become quest givers to trade soulbound items for profession ingredients.
- UI for trading macros in-game.
- Tune quests in zones more so leveling matches zones better.
- Add back longer questlines lower and mid-level (<level 60), many of which were removed with Cataclysm.
- Professions
- Allow players to craft for other players who have soulbound ingredients, but only one type of ingredient at a time and possible only once per day/week/month.
- Fix Archaeology so it isn't so boring:
- Add finds that point directly to a new dig site zone rather than mostly random hunting.
- Allow random items to be found at dig sites that seem at least semi-relevant to archaeology, like recipes, jewelry, etc.
- Since Archaeology is a secondary profession, make different areas accessible based on a related primary profession.
- ...or just kill it entirely.
- Fix First Aid so there are more useful products like:
- More powerful bandages at high levels.
- More powerful anti-venoms.
- Allow "deconstructing" cloth items for cloth items.
- Business changes
- Introduce tiered subscription rates depending on what expansion you have up to. The current model is unfair and new subscribers who don't want to buy all the expansions know it.
- Come out with "Battle Chest" omnibus software boxes with all but the last expansion included faster and for a lower price (say around US$40-60/€30-50).
- Blizzard recently offered vanilla and for US$20,[8] so they're already going in that direction, but this offer may be promotional and expire at some point.
- Pie-in-the-sky
- Player representation committee to Blizzard. Maybe like EVE Online's CSM (Council of Stellar Management).
- Allow groups of guilds to form "nations" (or "unions"?).
- Guild housing.
- Player housing. This isn't that important, unless it can be done in a way that doesn't strain server resources too much.
- Player built environment elements (bridges, buildings, farms, tunnels, etc.).

Saturday, February 23, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Feb. 23, 2002) -- The East Tennessee softball team won their first two games of the season, defeating Marshall, 6-3, and defeating Southern Conference rival Appalachian State, 7-0, Saturday from the University of Georgia Bulldog Invitational from Athens, Ga. In game one against Marshall (2-7), the Thundering Herd jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first. But in the bottom of the inning, ETSU (2-6) scored a run of their own to tie the game at one. The Bucs continued their hot hitting in the bottom of the second, scoring three more runs to make the score 4-1. Marshall scored a run in the fifth, but again the Bucs answered, scoring two more runs in the sixth, to make the score 6-2. The Herd tried to make a comeback in the seventh, tacking another run on the board, but 6-3 was as close as they would come. East Tennessee State wasted no time getting on the board in game two against Appalachian State (1-5). Sophomore Tiffany Vandergriff (Sale Creek, Tenn.) singled and, later in the inning, would score on a passed ball. After reaching on an error, freshman Mary Beth Hazelwood (Knoxville, Tenn.) scored on another error to make the score 2-0 after the first inning. The Bucs would strike again in the second as Vandergriff belted her first homerun, plating freshman Courtney Jenkins (Knoxville, Tenn.) who singled earlier in the inning. At the end of two innings, ETSU held a 4-0 advantage. ETSU scored three more runs in the top of the fourth to give them their final margin of victory, 7-0. Vandergriff singled to again score Jenkins, who reached on an error. After stealing second base, Vandergriff was sent home by a double by sophomore Sheryl Clark (Bradenton, Fla.). Clark scored on a sacrifice fly by sophomore Miranda Byerly (Candler, N.C.). The offensive star of the game was Vandergriff, who went 3-4 with her first home run of the season, three runs scored, three RBI and a stolen base. Senior pitcher Marsha Giles (Jonesborough, Tenn.) pitched a complete game, allowing just four hits, to collect her first career shutout. The Bucs return to action on Sunday in the final day of the Bulldog Invitational from Athens, Ga. East Tennessee State will face Appalachian State again at Noon and then play host Georgia at 4 p.m.

- Webbies go full Stolt!
Webbies at Stolt in Rotterdam!
Stolt Tankers in Rotterdam, Netherlands, saw its "Webb network" grow from one to many this winter, as new employees joined and winter work students from ship and shore gathered to sample Dutch beer, travel through Europe, and work on various Stolt projects.
Bret Smart '09 was the first new arrival, in November, and he jumped right into Stolt's Ship Management Suite project, an ambitious $6 million plan to move all of Stolt's ship management operations from 20+ separate outdated systems into one unified program. While enjoying river rides on the "Pancake Boat," Bret called Rotterdam an "intriguing city," contrasting Rotterdam's modern identity after the merciless bombing of World War II with the nearby historical centers of Amsterdam and Den Haag. Bret will see Rotterdam at its best with long summer evenings after returning from his Singapore posting; he plans to head back to graduate school in the fall.
Matthew Donatelli '08 started his career with Stolt in January after pulling up stakes in New York and relocating to Rotterdam. Matt is a Project Engineer in the Newbuilding and Technical Department, working on projects ranging from propulsion duct retrofits to ballast water treatment installations to Stolt's newbuilding bitumen tankers in China. Matt's high-tech bicycle has found good use in Holland, with the Dutch preferring to "go green" with leg power in city commuting. His only major disappointment since coming here was when his hometown Steelers lost Super Bowl XLV in February.
Ryan Pfeiffer '11 joined Bret on the SMS project for his senior winter work assignment and experienced the challenges involved in owning and operating a large fleet of ships. Taking advantage of Rotterdam's location, Ryan noted, "On weekends I was able to travel around Europe and reconnect with old classmates while exploring countries and cultures." He managed to navigate the busy bike commute through winter weather without an incident, and concluded, "Living in Rotterdam provides a good social life!" (Rotterdam was voted European Youth Capital in 2009.)
Colin Spillane '13 and Troy Zangle '13 sailed aboard chemical tanker Stolt Emerald from Houston to Europe and back for their sophomore ship assignment. The routines of daily life in engine room and on deck were enlivened by ping pong, the weather (calm eastbound, tempestuous westbound), and when in Caribbean waters, basketball on the aft deck bounded by old cargo nets (though Colin and Troy sadly report they followed Webb basketball tradition with a losing record after being dominated by the ship's Filipino contingent). When they arrived in Rotterdam, a few days shore leave provided a "Webbie night" at the home of Mark Martecchini '79 (watching the NFC Championship) and sightseeing with Matt and Ryan around Rotterdam and Amsterdam.
Martecchini, head of Stolt's Shipowning division, said it was fantastic that Webb students got the opportunity to broaden their horizons while learning how to be great contributors in the workplace. "Shipping is a truly international business; the more Webbies see of the world, the more highly their skills will be sought after by global companies," said Martecchini. Before Stolt moved its Houston office to Rotterdam in 2002, Stolt had five Webb grads on staff. Martecchini would like to build to that level again with the next generation, observing, "When you need to get things done, Webb grads deliver."

A Lasting ImpressionAlthough they hadn't been on campus in more than 40 years, Gene BS '57 and Norene BS '59 Slacks' time at Anderson University many years ago left a lasting impression. So much so, that upon their passing, they recently donated their entire estate, worth more than $800,000, to AU.
"Words can't express our gratitude," said Ronald Moore, senior development consultant at AU. "I believe the donation is confirmation of AU's pledge to stay in good standing with alumni and friends. This — the knowledge of extended connection to the community — provides comfort beyond the tangible impact the donation will have."
By the Slacks' wishes, the estate will be split evenly between the biology and business administration departments on campus, according to Moore.
"It will be a tremendous boost to the biology department," said Dr. Janutolo, dean of science and humanities. "It will supplement our income, something we are excited about in such economic times when budgets are being curtailed."
Janutolo said the money will help the department in two ways. First, it will allow the purchase of equipment so students can be more competitive in their employment and in going on to graduate or medical school. Second, the endowment will increase money for the general budget each year, again providing more supplies and lab equipment for their students.
Dr. Terry Truitt, dean of the Falls School of Business, also expressed gratitude for the bequest aiding the business administration department, indicating that plans for use of funds were still being developed.
Although the Slacks had likely not been on campus since their departure, they spent several years on campus while pursuing their degrees. From 1951-1957, the Slacks both worked at Anderson University while also attending classes. Gene worked at the Physical Plant and Norene worked in various positions, including housekeeping and business office cashier. They left for a couple years, and then came back so that Norene could finish her degree in 1959. Gene also came back to campus to become the director of Physical Plant operations, a position in which he served until 1963. Moore, who was a student employee in the business office during that time, remembers Gene as a kindly and gentle man.
According to Norene's nephew, Jess McCoy from Columbia City, Ind., Gene and Norene had a voracious passion for education. After leaving AU, Norene taught biology and general science at Highland High School in Anderson and worked part time at Coe College. She was also a writer for the Olean Times-Herald daily newspaper and the Alfred Sun weekly newspaper in Alfred, New York. She did graduate study in plant physiology and qualitative chemistry at Ball State University.
Gene was an administrator of mechanical operations at various colleges and universities, which allowed the couple to live in different areas of the country throughout his career.
Upon retiring, the Slacks relocated to North Fort Myers, Fla., where Gene did volunteer work at the local libraries until his death.
"They were both avid readers and favored mystery novels," said McCoy. "Until Gene's death, the television was only turned on for news and weather, and occasionally Court TV or C-span."
McCoy said the Slacks were of modest means through most of their working careers, but they inherited a quantity of stocks upon the death of Gene's parents. Although they had lived in many states, their first love of the AU community and their ongoing passion for education prompted them to leave their estate to a place that remained in their hearts.
