The following was originally published on my site at: http://www.lukejduncan.com/2009/12/getting-that-first-job.php
Step 1: Yourself on Paper
This may be obvious, but you need to write a great resume and cover letter. This needs to be a long process, and in some cases it may even be a little painful. Like any important document, both of these need to be proofread by your most trusted advisers. For me, each version of my resume initially took two to three weeks of proof-reading before I finally had a framework that I was ready to use and easily modify.
I also like to write these types of things in waves. I'd write the first version, and the next day review it myself. With the second version I'd review it myself and then send it out to my first group of reviewers. These were my friendly career service councillors, friends, and family that had the best grammar and patience for my emails. At this stage, it's important to keep in mind your reviewers backgrounds. Some of them may be great at grammar but know nothing about your field. In my case, most of my friends that were reviewing had degrees in journalism and screen writing, but often misunderstood the technical parts of my resume. It's important to make sure you understand where their advice is coming from and in some cases know which parts to heed and which to ignore.
The next round of reviews came from professional relationships. Site's like LinkedIn help a lot for this kind of stuff. There were a handful of family friends and former colleagues who I knew had an industry perspective to bring to the documents. This is the part that can sometimes be painful. There may be things that you include that they think are completely irrelevant. It may seem odd, but at this point these documents start to feel very personal. For example, I had a few people suggest I take my Associate Degree off of my resume. It took some time, but I eventually understood exactly where they were coming from. In the end, I chose to keep this section. However, the criticism offered by my reviewers showed me how employers would read my resume and taught me how I wanted to sell myself to them. This sections inclusion was thought out and I knew exactly how I wanted to present the information in an interview situation. As always take this criticism for what it's intended, friendly advise that you sought out.
If someone is reading this for help finding jobs, my business department head told us the class of 09 to start searching for jobs in September (graduating in may), and usually people don't start till a month or 2 before graduation, and usually he recommended an average of 200 apps sent out to find a good job, for us he told us 500, no joke.
there were some articles, I can find the links if need be stating that the average graduate having a job within a year of graduating has switched in the most recent years from 70-80% employed to around that percent being unemployed. I'm sure the numbers were exaggerated.
in my opinion in these tough times for jobs, the major advice for graduates, hopefully this changes by end of this school year, is be willing to take less than you want pay/benefits for a job with good experience, and an in to a good company that can lead to more down the road. second you will hear this 2 million times and maybe like me just blow it off as yea I got friends and alota relatives blah blah, but really, network, it is the best way to get a job in the hard times, all my friends with jobs or getting jobs have gotten their resume handed in to the ceo or hr by a friend or connection that works in the company...it sounds small but it helps...alot
third if you have the time, money w/e, if need be take part time contract work, or an internship, if it fills the empty space, keep looking for something better, but what will you say if in a year you find your dream job, you are lucky enough to get an interview, and they ask you so what have you been doing for the past year? I know it's true but, the excuse of "its the economy" is getting old already.
Some really interesting points have been made in this discussion. I just wanted to add that I came across a really good company that offer advice and stuff. They're called GRB and I signed up to them at fresher's fair and their website is really useful for interview/cv hints and tips, and recent employment news, as well as looking for internships or grad jobs.
Have a look for yourselves, http://www.grb.uk.com/ and good luck everyone!
So I've built a website that helps me track craigslist and other classifieds sites using text messages.
How it works: search for work that's relevant to your skills, copy/paste resulting link into my app, and done! You'll now receive SMS text messages whenever new ads matching your search are posted.
Check it out, let me know what you think: Greg's Pulse
cheers, grigory.
One good site for journalism peeps is journalismjobs.com.
I haven't been having luck landing a job, but I'm hoping it's true about persistence.
Good luck, everyone!
Our inability to find a job is not necessarily a bad reflection of ourselves, but more likely on this sh*tty economy!
It's a sad state of affairs to have to resort to this but you are talking about your livelihood and the possibility of keeping yourself fed and a roof over your head. There are too few jobs out there and too many monkeys lining up to get them. I have seen this done many times in the past and it usually works like a charm. Everyone has their price. It is up to you to figure out what that price may be and pay it promptly and covertly.
This may sarcasm or it may not be. Think about it.

En español | We all like to think of ourselves as having some degree of bedroom talents — and I'm sure we do. But with all our years of experience between the sheets, are we at the top of our game?
See also: Brand new sex with the same old spouse.
Let's face it, there are things we could all do to be better in bed. Maybe you're not as great a lover as you'd like to be — or are gifted in one area but can grow in another. The good news is that all of us can improve. Here are the top 10 qualities I think a person needs to be a superb lover. Of course, they all take practice — but that's a chore I'm sure you won't mind taking on.
Be Emotive
Great lovers let you know what a fantastic time they are having. It's exciting to know that you are causing all those great noises you hear, and disconcerting if your best efforts produce only the tiniest grunts or whispers. Yell and let it all out to show your appreciation!
Listen to Your Partner
Don't just do your thing — do your partner's thing. How do you know what your partner likes? You ask and you listen. You listen to their noises, their words, and you observe what increases their breath, pulse rate and body tension. You become a master observer of your beloved.
Ask — and Tell!
Don't just guess what your partner likes — ask. And don't expect your partner to be a mind reader. Just because you've been making love for a long time doesn't mean you really know what he or she would prefer. And if you are gay, don't think you will know everything your partner wants because you are the same sex. You only know what you've been doing — but you might tell your partner something you'd like to try or have more of. Give directions at the precise moment, so you can show your partner what you need.
Dare to Be Different
Surprises are sexy, as long as they aren't frightening or a turn-off to your partner. Do something out of character and fun. Does she think he will never come to bed in anything but boxers? Wear European underwear that will shock her and make her giggle, but also get aroused. Does he think she would never wear a slinky teddy or a blood-red nightgown? Do it. If you want to be daring, come home with a bunch of sex toys and ask him or her to pick one — maybe two. Knock their socks off.
Slow Down
There's a classic love song by the Pointer Sisters with these longing lyrics: "I want a man with a slow hand. I want a lover with an easy touch." Mmmm. That means a man who takes his time pleasing his woman, who explores her gently and makes her excited with anticipation. It works for men, too. Let your fingers do the walking and talking — slowly and carefully, exploring areas gently and purposefully. Let your partner tell you what pressure and places would be good to visit.

Here's a slow motion video of my long travel slash at half speed so you can see the suspension working. It gets jerky in spots because I don't a high speed camera. Looks cool, at regular speed it just looks like its floating along.
Slash 2wd upgraded to VXL
Traxxas Slash 2WD completely stock--Some on-board, some music video action and a Travis Pastrana-esque jump parody. Enjoy
O.K guys. My videos are very quick and not that great, but I went and checked out the very old BMX track this morning. As you will see my son loves the car hahahahaha. Half of te time I was hoping my skills were good enough to drive the slash even though I could not see it. Thankfully I was able to. I didn't once have to go looking for it. on the last video where my fiance said she couldn't see it, I was right next to her and neither could I but I still got round the bend and over the jump.

Heaven on a Hilltop: Cappadocia, Turkey
Years ago, as an adolescent, I learned the word "Shangri-La" and subsequently sought out the 1933 James Hilton novel, "Lost Horizon," where a group of world-weary travelers arrive at a mystical lamasery, a mythical utopia marked by harmony and happiness.
Time passes, and you get older, and you learn to search for "Shangri-La" in your daily life - until late one night, you arrive at Argos in Cappadocia in the mountains of Turkey. When you awaken in the morning, as the sun glides up from the horizon revealing a landscape marked by fairy chimneys, minarets, vineyards, orchards, and scores of hot air balloons floating in the peaceful blue sky, you realize that here, at last, you have found what you first learned about when you were but a lad. Here it is; here is Shangri-La: heaven on a hilltop in Cappadocia, Turkey.
Located in the ancient region of Central Anatolia, Cappadocia is a topographical wonderland with a spectacular, lunar-like landscape marked by 6th-century monasteries and churches, cave dwellings, and stone mansions, all connected by a labyrinth of tunnels carved into the volcanic lava and ash that shaped the land nearly 65 million years ago. It's no wonder that the monks were awed into a state of reverence.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Cappadocia is a popular tourist destination, particularly for hot air ballooning. According to our pilot, Cappadocia is one of the top three hot air ballooning destinations in the world, alongside Kenya and the Loire Valley. "Wild animals, castles - and fairy chimneys," he said, gesturing toward the extraordinary landscape as our balloon floated over and between minarets of volcanic rock.
Also known as "hoodoos," fairy chimneys are tall, thin spires of rock, which were formed by volcanic eruptions and which, truth be told, look remarkably phallic with their mushroom cap heads. As our pilot explained with a smirk, one entire gorge is known to the locals as "Love Valley" specifically because of its uncanny resemblance to a canyon of tumescence.
Cappadocia, which means "land of the beautiful horses" in Persian, is an easy hour-long flight from Istanbul to Nevsehir. Rising on the horizon, the snow-capped Mount Erciyes (or Argaeos to the Greeks), is a beacon of white in an extraordinary landscape. From the mountain's summit, it's possible to see both the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.
Apart from ballooning, tourists making the trek to Cappadocia explore open-air museums that feature rock-hewn chapels, monasteries, and pigeon houses. More than forty underground cities from the Bronze Age have been identified, including one where thousands of Christians hid from the Romans on seven subterranean levels. Thermal springs in the lake region of Acigol are heralded for their salutary impact on skin conditions and eye problems.
Thanks to the mineral-rich volcanic soil and the plethora of caves serving as wine cellars, Cappadocia has become Turkey's primary wine-making region. Wine tasting tours reveal wines that reveal a pleasing complexity befitting their provenance: Cappadocia has been making wine since at least 4000 B.C. and, according to Herodotus, Bacchus was born in western Turkey.
A center of terra cotta art since 2,000 BC, Cappadocia has a deep and abiding appreciation for craftsmanship. Pottery workshops alongside a master potter heighten your appreciation for the ancient artifacts you glimpse in niches throughout the region.
If you hike up Uchisar Castle at gloaming, you'll find yourself waiting for the sunset with dozens of locals and tourists. An incredible panorama of peaks, cones, and obelisks dot the foreground, with Mount Erciyes in the distance, and when the sun slips below the horizon, igniting the sky with streaks of orange, the crowd cheers.
Before you descend from atop the citadel, pause and gaze over Pigeon Valley at the monumental landscape produced by the three distant volcanic mountains. You are standing at the highest point in Cappadocia.
From this perspective, it's possible that you might find the peace that comes from knowing that millions of years of history have preceded your arrival here - and that you are but another speck in the passage of humanity across the landscape of time.

My Trip to the Creation Museum
The Creation Museum demonstrates that the ministry of Answers of Genesis is not first and foremost about Genesis—it's about Answers.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
The Creation Museum demonstrates that the ministry of Answers of Genesis is not first and foremost about Genesis—it's about Answers.
When we make distinctions between natural and supernatural activity in Scripture, not only do we push our modern categories into the Bible, but we also limit God's action.
In none of these cases was Newton inserting God into a "gap" into our knowledge that science would someday fill. Rather, his prior belief in God helped him arrive at attitudes and ideas that have unquestionably advanced our understanding of nature.
Sometimes when I am studying evolution, I take a step back and worship my Lord because I am so in awe.
Many arguments claiming to prove the existence of God have been proposed throughout the centuries. A popular argument is that, since all effects come from causes, there must have been a "first cause" that is outside the material world—an "uncaused cause". The response to many of these arguments, however, is: "If God created the world, what created God?
A college student raised as a young-earth creationist shares his story of coming to understand and appreciate God's evolving creation.
A short guide to where BioLogos fits in the origins debate.
Divine Hiddenness is the claim that our public evidence is strong enough to make Christian faith reasonable, but not strong enough to make it compelling.
In the early 1700s, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz famously disagreed about whether God periodically "corrected" the orbits of the planets. Why their disagreement matters for today's debates about God and evolution.
I became such an expert in young-earth creationist theology and science that it turned into a wrecking ball for my faith.
Pope Francis is reiterating a basic claim in Catholic Christianity: If one acknowledges that God creates by giving creatures not only their existence but also their natures, one can reconcile an evolutionary worldview with the Christian faith.
While reading about and studying the processes that gave rise to this astonishing world, please don't forget that it is beautiful. It is not merely mechanics, but poetry.
The former chair of the Harvard University physics department muses on how faith gives meaning to his scientific work.
My childhood in the evangelical church gave me the toolkit that led me to eventually accept the evidence for evolution, and marvel at the God who created it all.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
BioLogos president Deb Haarsma responds to Ken Ham's recent comments about Hugh Ross, and pleads for a more gracious conversation between Christians on issues of faith and science.
The 1930 showdown between evolutionist Schmucker and creationist Rimmer generated a lot of heat but shed very little light on the real issues behind the debate.

As we transition from summer into fall and winter our gear choices become even more important. A Gore-Tex or other DWR type outerwear is almost a necessity in the coming months. Keeping warm and dry is good for morale and allows anglers to stay out longer in a majority of weather situations. DWR stands for "Durable water repellant coating" and it is a chemical surface treatment applied to apparel and other materials which causes the fabric to become hydrophobic which is better known as water repellant. Water will bead off of the fabric and wick away. Over time this coating will experience wear and deterioration which will cause a wet and clammy feeling since the fabric is not performing at 100%. However a simple and affordable solution is available to make your DWR and other Gore-Tex gear good as new.
Revivex is a water repellant spray that is designed to restore all DWR coated fabrics back to 100% functionality. It can be used on Jackets, Pants, Hats, Waders and much more. The spray is extremely easy to use. Anything treated with Revivex needs to be washed beforehand without detergent. The next step after pulling your gear out of the wash is to spray on the Revivex Treatment and then just throw it in the drier. After that your gear should be good as the day you got it.
- Simplicity of use
- Range of treatment options – I have used this products on everything from Jackets, Waders and Tents
- Price – $14.95 to make your outerwear and other gear water repellant is a small price to pay
- Performance – Treated gear is as good as the day it was purchased
- Small amount – 5 oz containers do not last long with all the gear that this spray can treat
Overall Revivex is an excellent and affordable solution for all anglers and outdoor enthusiasts looking to extend the life of their equipment. Revivex sure beats investing in new gear.

what is the chemical composition of nail polish remover
1 Answer | Add Yours
Acetone is the name of the chemical in nail polish remover. It is organic due to the fact that it has both Carbon and Hydrogen atoms in its formula. Its formula is (CH3)2CO. It is produced by the body naturally in metabolic pathways. Acetone is used as paint thinner and as a cleaner. Acetone is colorless and flammable as well as miscible with water. Acetone is a chemical known as a ketone. The second reference link has an excellent picture of the structural formula of acetone.

Reeling in For-Profit Colleges & loans - about time
This is a huge problem in the American education system and is breaking the backs and stealing the future from many students who trust their schools to provide a solid education.
Glad to see some pressure for relief is finally being brought about...
For-profit colleges slapped with tighter rules over student loans
Schools accused of encouraging huge debts; critics want stronger crackdown
Anna Meer of Waukesha, Wis., dropped out of college last year because she was convinced she would never be able to repay her crushing college loans.
"It added up to $30,000 to go there for one year," Meer, 23, said of Westwood College, a for-profit online institution where she had hoped to earn a degree in criminal justice so she could pursue a career in law enforcement.
Meer contends that Westwood, which is based in Denver, lured her into enrolling with promises of easy employment after graduation and pressured her to take on huge federally backed loans. Now she's back home with her young daughter, no degree and a grudge.
"They were taking advantage of the fact that I was young," said Meer, who joined 18 other Wisconsin students in a lawsuit last year seeking repayment of all tuition and fees they rang up at Westwood. The case against Westwood and its parent company, Alta College Inc. of Denver, was moved from U.S. District Court in Madison, Wis., to a state court in April.
In a statement, Westwood said it was "proud of the hard work by our 40,000 students and graduates, many of whom are working at businesses throughout Wisconsin." It accused lawyers for the plaintiffs of "depreciating the quality education Westwood provides and the accomplishments of tens of thousands of satisfied students and graduates."
The case is one of several dozen that have been brought against Westwood and other for-profit colleges, many by former students who say unscrupulous recruiters advised them to run up huge debts — which they're saddled with for life because federal law doesn't allow them to be discharged through bankruptcy. (In 2009, Alta settled a similar lawsuit in Texas for $7 million.)
Citing extensive data that it said substantiated such allegations, the U.S. Department of Education issued tougher rules this month regulating for-profit colleges, whose students make up about 12 percent of all U.S. college students but represent 46 percent of all student loans in default, it said.
"It is seriously troubling that companies would find it acceptable to make these loans with the knowledge that such a high percentage of their students will be unable to repay them," Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, said last week at a hearing of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, of which he is chairman.
92 percent of students at for-profit institutions borrow to finance their tuition, compared to 59 percent at four-year, private, non-profit schools and 46 percent at four-year public schools.
The proportion of those loans that are federally issued or federally guaranteed is approaching 90 percent, representing $18 billion a year.
Students at for-profit colleges are nearly twice as likely to be unemployed upon graduation as graduates of other types of schools.
"There reaches a point where the education provided does not match the cost of the debt," Harkin said.

The tabletop water filtration system offers you the maximum of the space-friendliness and the easiest of the user interface. Over the online stores you would get varied sorts of these dispensers available for budget prices. The benefits in using water dispensers are well known to people and as such it you would not get a single house wherein you would not see these devices. The dispensers serve with filtered and water-controlled water that is not only safe for the health but you feel highly soothing while drinking the water.
It's the sleekness that matters
One of the best features of these dispensers lies upon its sleekness of the design. The tabletop water dispenser would require the least of the spaces for you to accommodate it. As it becomes evident from the name itself, you can position the dispenser over the top of the tables only and thus need not to worry about the space crunch which is a common aspect, related to the urban living.
What about the services in winters?
It is not that this water filtration system can serve you cooler waters only. The market has on it offers such pieces that serves with hot and cold water from the same unit and thus it offers you greater functionality. It implies that these dispensers cans serve you across the twelve months of the year and thus it offers better return on the money you put on it.
Get online for the best products and the deals
If you are looking for the top most quality of products for reasonable prices, you have to turn your search to the online domain. The online stores offer several forms of dispensers at budget ranges and you can select the one that fits to your requirements, at the best.

Red Raiders gameday at Jones Stadium in Lubbock...there's nothing else quiet like it! Packed beyond its 51,389 capacity at most home games, the rabid fans in red cheer their heroes on every play, making it a house of horrors for opposing squads. From the legendary 2002 Tech vs. Texas Longhorns game (November 16, 2002), this incredible panoramic poster features a glorious evening game at a packed Jones, as the fans stress a one-point fourth quarter deficit. But never fear...Kliff Kingsbury is here! With 8:21 left in the fourth quarter, and the game-winning drive underway...SNAP! The moment is preserved for all-time, and is now available for your wall! Like all prints in photographer Rob Arra's Everlasting Images series, every detail of the scene is in perfect focus, and as you pan across the image you feel like you are actually there, about to celebrate Taurean Henderson's game-winning Touchdown reception (and subsequent game-sealing interception of a Chris Simms floater by Ryan Aycock). From the Athletic Offices at the South end, to the Business and Ticket Offices at North, to the massive blocks of fans in the stands, to the marching band, cheerleaders, and sideline personnel, to the players on the field, giving their all to bring glory to Texas Tech. If you've been to Jones Stadium for a game, or if you're just an armchair fan, you'll love this piece - every glance makes you feel like you're there on gameday, cheering on the Red Raiders at the top of your lungs. Worthy of a nice frame and a central location on your sports wall-of-fame!

World of Warcraft - Lore & Storyline discussion [SPOILERS]
Posted 09 August 2008 - 07:36 PM
I'd like to begin with something that surely merits some discussion: the ever-popular Ashbringer saga and the (sort of) retconning of some of the old content.
The revised Ashbringer/Naxxramas storyline
The 'old' storyline which you can do on live involving Highlord Morgraine, the Corrupted Ashbringer and his older son, Renault Mograine is apparently discarded and replaced by something new. Here is what we know:
*Kel'thuzad seems to have been killed, but his Phylactery was given to the treacherous Father Inigo Montoy, and he's now back in action.
*Somehow Darion Mograine, the younger of Alexandros Mograine's sons aquired the Corrupted Ashbringer, and in turn got corrupted by it/the Lich King, and now leads a cadre of his own Deathknights, the Knights of the Ebon Blade.
*The corrupted Alexandros Mograine was either killed or at least defeated, and is no longer part of the Four Horsemen encounter.
*Most of the Naxxramas bosses seem to be still alive, as evidenced by the talk of Eligor Dawnbringer and the presence of Noth, Heigan, Gothik and Instructor Razuvious in the Deathknight starting zone, so we can conclude most of our exploits back in the good old days of Tier 3 simply didn't happen.
Based on this, and filling in the holes with wild speculation, my theory what happened so far is this:
- The Scourge Invasion began as experienced ingame
- Darion Mograine and a group of heroes make a daring assault on Naxxramas, and manage to defeat his father, and he takes the corrupted sword from him
- They then proceed to kill Kel'thuzad (just pretend that as a lore character, you don't need to clear all four wings and defeat Sapphiron beforehand ), and Darion takes his Phylactery
- The Corrupted Ashbringer slowly gains influence over him and his followers, and against his better judgement he gives the Phlyactery to Inigo Montoy
- Possibly this was the Lich King's plan all along (i.e. "sacrifiing" Kel'thuzad as a means to corrupt the heroes... he has done it before, remember? I guess it sucks to be Kel'thuzad in his schemes )
- After a while, Darion and his followers have completely fallen under the Lich King's sway, turned into Deathknights, and were given Archerus as their own Necropolis
- From there, they later lead an assault on the Scarlet Crusade-held towns of Havenshire and New Avalon, destroying them easily (during this, the player as one of Darion's Deathknights uncovers that the Scarlet Crusade is sailing to Northtrend, forming the Scarlet Onslaught)
- Most of the Scarlet Crusade's standing forces in the Eastern Kingdoms are decimated
- The Lich King then orders Darion to attack Light's Hope Chapel in an attempt to draw Tirion Fordring into the open, fully aware Darion has no chance of victory because of some unknown power/artifact below LHC
- The plan succeeds, until Darion unexpectedly makes a heel face turn and gives the Corrupted Ashbringer to Tirion, who seemingly simply cleanses it by touch (and we were led to believe it was uncleansable ) and proceeds kicking the Lich Kings ass
- Following these events, the Knights of the Silver Hand and the Argent Dawn form the Argent Crusade, and the Knights of the Ebon Blade break free from the Lich King's grasp
- The Lich King and those still loyal to him (including Orbaz Bloodbane, the two vampire-zombie-canibal blood elf princes, Noth, Heigan, Gothik and Razuvious) make a hasty retreat in Naxxramas, taking it north to the Dragonblight where it is now.
Unanswered question: What exactly is this awesome power below LHC that makes it so dangerous to the scourge? (at least it explains how such a small outpost could survive that long in the middle of the plaguelands, surrounded by undead).
Posted 09 August 2008 - 09:05 PM
I doubt that that simply discarded the old Naxxramas, given that the Lich King is a powerful necromancer, what's stopping him from raising them again?
We gave the phylactery to Inigo, he turned it in for the Scourge in order to gain Lichdom, you have a quest somewhere to kill him (can't remember which side or whether it was neutral).
He sent the Knights to die only to draw Tirion out in the open, he had every intention of killing him there.
LHC is on hallowed ground according to Arthas and he taunts Tirion to fight him somewhere else to see his power without external help.
The Ashbringer is still open to speculation, but I have no idea about it.

A few points:

We gave the phylactery to Inigo, he turned it in for the Scourge in order to gain Lichdom, you have a quest somewhere to kill him (can't remember which side or whether it was neutral).

LHC is on hallowed ground according to Arthas and he taunts Tirion to fight him somewhere else to see his power without external help.
The Ashbringer is still open to speculation, but I have no idea about it.
Well, I guess the Lich King just raising every boss in Naxxramas again after we've killed them is theoretically possible, but it just seems (no offense meant) rather stupid - if the Lich King could (re-)raise all his minions as often as he wants, there's really no point in a Lich's phylactery or killing his minions at all. It's established in Warcraft lore that you can raise a recently deceased, though it requires a powerful spellcaster (we as players are for gameplay reasons far better off than we should be) and the body must be more or less intact. This is referenced in a quest in Dragonblight that requires you to kill High General Abbendis and take her head, which the questgiver comments on with "Let's see how they'll resurect her now".
For me, the far more logical explanation is that we simply didn't kill those bosses, and my (admittedly mostly made up) theory about Darion and his "mercenary/raid group tunred into Deathknights" seems to nicely explain a few things like Night Elve or Troll DKs, and why they follow him instead of the Lich King after the attack on LHC without much of a fuss.
I didn't know of the alliance (?) quest to kill Inigo Montoy, though it doesn't really invalidate my theory.
In response to your third point, yes I don't deny that, I just said the plan backfired pretty badly when Darion gave the Ashbringer to Tirion Fordring following his "turn from the dark side", as now one of the (if not the most) powerful Paladin in existence wields a Scourge-Slaughtering-Superweapon.
There seems to be more about LHC then just "hallowed ground", as we don't see the scourge afraid of churches or chapels elsewhere and the dialog specifically mentions "You well know what lies beneath the Chapel" or something like that.
Posted 09 August 2008 - 09:36 PM
We gave the phylactery to Inigo, he turned it in for the Scourge in order to gain Lichdom, you have a quest somewhere to kill him (can't remember which side or whether it was neutral).
It's the culmination of the Alliance Wintergarde chains. This chain also explains that Naxxramas is in Northrend to aid in the siege on Wintergarde, not as some sort of EPL retreat.

As for Darion Morgraine, I wouldn't be surprised if Blizzard doesn't bother to explain the lore at all. Obviously it's already been fudged a bit, maybe they'll release some materials that will clarify, but I doubt we'll see anything ingame to explain what happened. The possible exception to this is that it seems that there will be a second Scourge Invasion before WotLK is released, leading to the razing of Orgrimmar and Darnassus, but I kinda doubt that it will be that lore-intensive.
The WotLK lore so far is looking quite interesting. I'm still disappointed that Azjol-Nerub won't be a full outdoor zone, though, as this basically guts the Nerubian and Yogg-Savon (new old god) lore that Blizzard would've been able to introduce. Personally I think that the Faceless Ones would have made incredibly interesting enemies to see developed, but it seems more likely that they'll simply appear in the Azjol-Nerub raid with little development and that's it.
Posted 10 August 2008 - 12:24 AM
Yogg-Savon (new old god)
Are you serious? I felt it was rather lame that they rip off Cthulhu with C'thun, but Yog-Sothoth too now. Queue Shob-Noggerath and Nyarlethop to come in the next expansions....
I suppose Lovecraftian Mythology, being in the public domain, gives them a good source of old god sounding names that very few players will recognize the source of. I suppose we can't expect them to come up with good names for all their characters after the crappy names of nearly all the Molten Core bosses and the lovely Brtuallus in Sunwell. But outside of those most of the names at least are reasonable. C'Thun is really a fine name and does a great job evoking an old God feel due to the saturation of the Cthulhu name - using the rest of the Mythos that no one's ever really heard as sources of names seems incredibly unoriginal.

Also, Naxx does get beaten, since they've already talked about how Kel'Thuzad gets reborn from his phylactery. So it's not that some of Naxx happened while some didn't. Everyone in there got killed (or re-killed). It's just a matter of when.
Posted 10 August 2008 - 01:14 AM
One thing to remember is that Blizzard lore and timelines are related to LEVEL. So the Naxx bosses all being alive in the DK starting area makes sense, as that's level 55. It isn't until T2-3 at 60 that Naxx gets destroyed.

This doesn't work with the timeline. Read back about the different Mograines and who runs the Death Knights. Either that or some things simply aren't cannon.

It's not very clear when it happens, but to me it definitely happens way before naxxramas attacking stuff, which is why every boss is walking around doing their own thing. Then the end of the DK line happens, and they leave Archeron, and maybe at that point go to naxxramas to lead another attack against the forsaken and everyone else.
But really there's no moment the Lich King would be sitting in a necropolis in the middle of the plaguelands, unless it's Arthas BEFORE he becomes the lich king, which doesn't make much sense then, naming him the lich king. Or it's Nerzhul and this happens much much before Arthas stuff, but not sure what nerzhul looked like after he became the lich king.
Posted 10 August 2008 - 03:00 AM
- It includes reference to Naxxramas suddenly departing the Plaguelands.
- It coincides with the storyline of the Scarlet Onslaught and Argent Crusade going to Northrend.
- Note that Inigo Montoy is *missing* from the LHC battle.
- Meanwhile the other post-Naxx/Invasion NPCs (like Dawnbringer, Rayne, etc.) are present.
- The rest of the Plaguelands is already corrupted before you arrive -- only the Scarlet holdings and LHC remained.
It seems obvious that part of the point of the questline is to establish that the Naxx bosses are very much not dead despite having been slain in WoW Classic.
You can come with me. I can protect you.
Posted 10 August 2008 - 03:19 AM
As for the bosses, i think we have to accept that they were never killed except for Kel'Thuzad, who is resurrected using the stolen phylactery.

While LVL = timeline is a decent general rule it seems to be broken all the time by Blizzard.
Like the Dranei and BE arriving later but you still lvl up with them in the past (low lvls).
And for DK's if it truly was lvl 55, then Naxx shouldnt even have been in Plaguelands yet, so its some weird mix of past and present, as others already mentioned.
Blizz seems to jump between past and present during quests and zones, even if the LVL doesnt fit with it.
Generally in-game events arent really canon lore before its mentioned in non-game references (like WoW books) I guess, or directly in a quest text explaining past events (not those explaining current events or asking you to do something, as those might easily be changed to an NPC doing it later on, which surely makes it a possibility that someone else killed Kelthuzad).
Like how the WoW comic currently is screwing up with major parts of Onyxia and Stormwind gamelore.
I dont think we have anything to indicate Arthas cant move around just because he is The Lich King, if he coulndt, the whole War3 story would be pointless, why bother attracting a fresh new body which can remove the lich king from his prison, if you wont use that new body for something useful...
Thats exactly what you could expect from Blizz. All their games are obviously heavy on pop-culture references. They dont take those names because they are unoriginal, but because they want to have that specific link to Lovecraft.
I suppose Lovecraftian Mythology, [...] using the rest of the Mythos that no one's ever really heard as sources of names seems incredibly unoriginal.

Darion Mograine has Ashbringer and leads the Knights of the Ebon Hand. This could not have happened without Alexandros Mograine in Naxxramas being defeated and losing the sword. That should place the entire timeline of the DK area to after Naxxramas as Kazanir mentioned.
ery;848257']The thing you have to note when talking about the Death knight quest chain is that it covers several different phases in time. I believe that the first phase (uncorrupted New Avalon) was pre-WoW and pre-Naxx 1.0, but the decimation of the Scarlet Crusade and the forming of the Scarlet Onslaught/Argent Crusade was nearing the end of TBC. Also, the fact that Inigo Montoy is missing during the LHC event means it clearly occurs after WoW 1.0.
Either that or I'm mixing up Mograines again.

Alexandros Mograine - Commander of the Naxxramas armies, the former Ashbringer. Betrayed by his son Renault after killing an army of the Scourge at Stratholme. Then raised as a death knight by Kel'thuzad. Returns to slay his son Renault and heal Fairbanks after the Ashbringer is recovered from him in Naxxramas.
Renault Mograine - Betrayed his father and slew him with the Ashbringer during the battle at Stratholme. Promoted to command the Scarlet Crusade in Tirisfal by Balnazzar as reward for his actions. Slain by the ghost of Alexandros after Alexandros is defated in Naxx 1.0.
Darion Mograine - Revealed to have been in Outland by Fairbanks in the SM cutscene. Somehow returns to Azeroth and claims to have "given everything to free [his] father" in a battle near Light's Hope Chapel. (See his gossip text before the final DK battle at LHC.) Apparently fell in this battle and was raised to command the Ebon Hold death knights by the Lich King. This story is (sort of) borne out by his cutscene with his father's ghost at LHC before Arthas arrives.
I expect we'll see two parts to the world event that will open the expansion:
1) The razing of Orgrimmar and Darnassus by the armies of the Lich King, prompting the call to arms and the sending of the legions of the Horde and Alliance to Northrend.
2) The aforementioned battle involving Darion and Alexandros Mograine near Light's Hope, somehow explaining all the loose plot elements that don't fit together between the Naxx story, the SM cutscene, and the DK quest storyline.
You can come with me. I can protect you.

"The Ashbringer is dead and there will never be another like him. The lesser Mograine is a far cry from the man his father was. You know this, Commander! It was, after all, your own leadership that was responsible for the death of the Scarlet Highlord Mograine. It was your leadership that manipulated a grieving child to try to recover the sword. A child that has grown into a man with nothing but vengeance and hatred in his heart! And for what? You are no closer to the sword now than you were five years ago. Yet you think that recovering Ashbringer will somehow turn the tide of battle? Let me let you in on a little secret, Commander. The power of the Ashbringer came from the man who would wield it... I was there, Commander. I watched him burn legions of undead in righteous fire before he would even unsheathe the blade. Alas, your grasp on history is... lacking."
Taken in the past context, a lot of this monologue is confusing. We can assume that "the lesser Mograine" is Renault, because he is not killed until after the assault on Naxxramas and the Corrupted Ashbringer's recovery. "The grieving child" is a bit of a cipher though -- is it supposed to be Taelan Fordring? Was there meant to be a storyline that Taelan was to be the Crusade's tool to reacquire the Ashbringer? Yet by the time you get to LHC, Taelan must already be dead -- because "Lord Fordring and his knights" are meant to be a threat against the Scarlets.
Given what we now know about Darion Mograine, Eligor's speech takes on some different qualities. Both "the lesser Mograine" and "the grieving child" become Darion Mograine; the Scarlet Crusade plays a part in Darion's sortie into Naxxramas under the guise of rescuing Darion's father (but angling really for the Ashbringer); Darion's dialogue before the "Light of Dawn" quest notes the irony that LHC would be the site of the battle, since that was where Alexandros was apparently redeemed and where Darion himself fell from grace. Somehow, Darion keeps the Ashbringer and becomes a Death Knight in the process, "a man with nothing but vengeance and hatred in his heart." "You are no closer to the sword now than you were five years ago" implies that the sword did change state somehow, but does nothing to explain how.
Eligor's last comment here does explain something: "The power of the Ashbringer came from the who would wield it..." Taken out of the hands of Alexandros Mograine, the Ashbringer's power was corrupted and useless -- which is why Renault couldn't take it originally, and why Darion could do little more than wield it, much less redeem it. And yet merely in the hands of Tirion, the sword was redeemed, it's power restored, and Frostmourne's opposite number unleashed.
So here's the squirrelly thing: the information that we see before we originally entered Naxxramas fits better with the story we know now (the DK quest series) than the information we discover AFTER we entered Naxxramas (the Corrupted Ashbringer event and it's false lead-in to BC). It's almost as thought the introduction of Darion "I'm A Deathknight" Mograine was supposed to happen post-Patch 1.11, but instead they hamfisted some tie-in to the Burning Crusade instead... which makes even LESS sense, since there's no way for this hitherto-unknown second son to even GET to Outland if the Dark Portal hasn't re-opened yet.
