Patch 2.3 - Renewed Hopes
This type of forum threads are worth reading. A fan had recently decided to cancel his account, and when read about the new feature in patch 2.3 that allows you to level up faster, he thank Blizzard. Vaneras replied there is no ETA for Patch 2.3
Projectile @ Sylvanas: I was just about to quit the game and cancel my subscription today straight after work, as I realised how much time it would take to level my alt to 60/70 on a PvP realm…it just seemed too dull and sooo boring!
I don't read forums much but it's pretty quiet in the office today and I accidently came across some 2.3. posts and the changes are really promising! The game might actually be fun again ( and I only play for fun, none of that stupid 25-hour-raiding-to-get-1-new-item stuff).
Anyways I've been wondering when (approxiamately) this very welcomed patch will be going live? To me it's about cancelling my sub now and renewing when it does or just sticking to it a little longer if 2.3. is going to be released soon?
I presume no date's been mentioned by Blizz, but from your experience with patches what's the least/most time it would take to implement it?

In 2003, the African country of Botswana started building a fence along its border with Zimbabwe. Botswana officials state that their aim is to control the spread of foot-and-mouth disease; however, the people of Zimbabwe see the fence as an affront preventing migration. In this video segment from the Wide Angle film "Border Jumpers," learn about the fence that has created discord between two neighboring nations.

text: What a man did with this Tree trunk will blow your mind.Whatever you're thinking..It's Better. Edit It all started out with a simple tree trunk Then Zheng Chunhui, a famous wood carver, spent over four years creating this masterpiece. The carving is based on the famous Chinese painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival." The original artwork was created over 1,000 years ago. The piece won the Guinness World Record for the longest wooden carving and measures over 40ft (specifically, it is 12.286 meters long, is 3.075 meters tall at it highest point, and is also 2.401 meters wide). The intricate carvings of daily life in ancient China are so detailed and perfect, they could drop your jaw. It's no surprise that this incredible work of art is drawing so much attention. It's amazing, but not just because it's so big, but also because it's so incredibly detailed. That was 8,760 hours well spent. Share this awesome work with others.

I know exactly what your thinking: "this crazy woman is still hanging on to that stupid idea!". Yeap! I am a woman. I am crazy. And I'm still thinking about fulfilling "The Dream" :p
So, since it might take a while (years maybe?????) until we get on the move I have decided to start right here. I'll start with you guys (now you're rolling your eyes and acknowledging my madness): I want to learn your best recipes, the ones you're really good at (cheese pies, barbecues, crazy salads, lasagnas, pasta with wonderful tomato sauce, special sandwiches, you name it, it's your call). Or recipes from your family members and friends: grandmothers, aunties, cousins, best friend, ex-boyfriend, any relationship will do, as long as there's good home-made comfort food in between. I want to share that knowledge with the rest of the world (I know the world is bigger than my four followers, but hey, give me time!)
Give those neurons a good old shake, think about all that delicious food that is almost a secret and give me a call ("mi liga, vai..." with a sexy brazilian accent) or email me. All recipes and photos will only be published after your approval/consent and the credits are also yours. I'm just the student :)
So, now the dreaded question: who wants to be the first????? I want to see those arms up in the air! :D

Table1 Formaldehyde Uses and Potential Indoor Sources (3)
Even though many products have the potential for releasing formaldehyde into indoor air, relatively few are responsible for causing significant levels of contamination. Pressed wood products and UFFI (Urea Formaldehyde Foam Insulation) can release formaldehyde at greater rates than other products.
In homes, the most significant sources of formaldehyde are likely to be pressed wood products made using adhesives that contain urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins. Pressed wood products made for indoor use include: particleboard (used as sub flooring and shelving and in cabinetry and furniture); hardwood plywood paneling (used for decorative wall covering and used in cabinets and furniture); and medium density fiberboard (used for drawer fronts, cabinets, and furniture tops). Medium density fiberboard contains a higher resin-to-wood ratio than any other UF pressed wood product and is generally recognized as being the highest formaldehyde-emitting pressed wood product (4).

b. Medium-Density fiberboard (MDF), www.wii.com/images/mdf.GIF
c. Hardwood plywood paneling, www.columbiaforestproducts.com/ images/m-4.jpg
Figure1. Several types of wood composite materials
Table 2 Formaldehyde Emissions from a Variety of Construction Materials, Furnishings, and Consumer Products (5)
The rate at which products like pressed wood or textiles release formaldehyde can change. Formaldehyde emissions will generally decrease as products age (Figure 2).
Figure 2 Time-dependent changes in formaldehyde levels associated with 6 grades of particleboards (5).
During the 1970s, many homeowners had urea-formaldehyde foam insulation (UFFI) installed in the wall cavities of their homes as an energy conservation measure. However, many of these homes were found to have relatively high indoor concentrations of formaldehyde soon after the UFFI installation. Few homes are now being insulated with this product. Studies show that formaldehyde emissions from UFFI decline with time; therefore, homes in which UFFI was installed many years ago are unlikely to have high levels of formaldehyde now (4).
When other materials in indoor such as carpets, gypsum boards etc, have adsorbed formaldehyde, these products may also start releasing it into the air and be secondary sources (2).
Table 3 Formaldehyde Levels in Residential Environments (5)
Highest average concentrations are reported for mobile homes. The high concentrations of formaldehyde in mobile homes are primarily caused by the large quantity of the decking, decorative hardwood plywood wall covering, particleboard shelving, and cabinetry made form a variety of pressed wood products. With few exceptions, average formaldehyde levels in UFFI houses are typically in the range of 0.5-0.06 ppm.
In cases where accuracy of results is important, only trained professionals should measure formaldehyde because of the difficulty of obtaining good data and interpreting the results. Do-it-yourself formaldehyde measuring devices are available. The results should be interpreted with caution, however, because weather conditions, ventilation rates, and other factors can affect the results. Such devices should be used according to the instructions (2).
Table 4 Formaldehyde Analytical Methods
* TWA = time-weighted average (usually 8 hours)
Figure 3 Lower-emitting wood composite materials
B. Climate control
Reducing temperature from 30 to 20 C alone resulted in a reduction of the levels of 70%: a 40% reduction was observed when reducing RH from 70% to 40% (5).

However now you can get the new amped up version- Dial Coconut Water Refreshing Mango hydrating body wash! Woop woop!

This clear body wash is safe for the whole family to use. My 7 and 9 year olds love body wash. It's so much easier for them to handle than a bar of soap. They keep some in their shower at all times but I must admit I haven't shared this bottle!

Okay, Pike's Gonna Sit You Down
With all my spec testing lately and my latest entry on how my "relationship" to my pet, playstyle-wise, varied according to spec, I fear I may have accidentally given off some false impressions. So, I'm gonna clarify.
There are hunters of all specs who love their pets.
There are also hunters of all specs who really don't care very much either way. This includes some BM hunters who are BM only for the numbers, for example.
The point that I was trying to make in my last post, is that I missed the feeling of splitting my damage with my pet. I missed knowing he was doing 35% of my DPS. It felt awkward knowing that the damage responsibility was basically squarely on my shoulders. It felt lonely to me.
When I say that, I am not at all trying to discredit the relationship you lovely MM and SV hunters have with your pets, or say that they aren't important.
Tawyn was my first ever character and she was Marksmanship until level 55-ish.
The reason is because I had no idea what I was doing or what a spec was. So I asked my friends what to do with these newfangled talent points. At this point I'd actually started putting points into BM already but two different people completely mocked the idea of me spec'ing BM and told me Marksman was the way to go, so I promptly changed course and followed their advice.
Up I went through that talent tree and my owl Tux was there the entire way. He was my feathery little pocket tank. He was my leveling buddy. He didn't dish out a lot of damage but he held aggro like a champ. I loved him dearly. I loved him just as much then, as a Marksman hunter, as I do now as a Beast Master hunter.
Really though, I was hungrily eyeing the Beast Mastery tree the entire time I was leveling. Heck, I went off and made Lunapike so I could have a BM hunter that my friends didn't have to know about. There is a reason why I gave her a red kitty pet, aside from the fact that I think they're cute. It was a conscious, symbolic choice because Lunapike was going to be my BM hunter.
That Little Red Kitty is level 70 now, by the way.
Anyways, back to Tawyn. I finally said "Ya know what, screw everybody else. I don't care if they're going to call me a noob now. I'm respec'ing." So I did, and I'd like to say that I didn't look back.
...except I did look back, once. Because it sort of scared me at first. Tux went from being my pocket tank to being this Big Red Owl of Doom. He was doing as much DPS as I was at the time, if not more. "I've created a monster!" I thought. I spent about a level as BM and then spec'd back to my Marksman safety zone. Tux went back to being my mild-mannered companion. All was well.
Then I started to miss the whole "fast and furious" playstyle of BM and the idea that Tux could be more than just my tanky friend. We could fight alongside each other, each doing equal damage. We could be unstoppable, together.
Together we went through the Dark Portal and stepped into Outlands and that is when I spec'd to Beast Mastery for good and since then I haven't looked back. I wouldn't have it any other way at this point. We fight together. He isn't just there to keep the mobs away from me. He is there to buff me with his Ferocious Inspiration so I can in turn buff him with Kill Commands and tons of Focus, and we both act as an elegant killing machine, as One.
I have a special relationship with my pets as a Beast Master hunter. But that doesn't mean I love them any more than I did when I was Marksman. That doesn't mean I don't value them any more than I did when I was Marksman (although in a gameplay sense, obviously you do have to value them somewhat more =P)
When I was experimenting with non-BM specs in Beta, I felt a certain detachment to my pets in terms of there not being nearly so much hunter/pet synthesis (one procs something for the other) and the reason I was forgetting Mend Pet is probably largely because I was busy trying to work out new rotations. Anyways, that is what I missed about being BM. I missed the hunter/pet synthesis. I didn't love the pets any less just because I shuffled talent points around. That would be silly.
So! That is your Pike-story for the day. Hunters everywhere love their pets, and that is the way it should be. Just wanted to clarify that. Thank you, as always, for your comments and support and I will see you all next time.

Aw, that's a great story!
*applause* :D
I know what you mean about the "synergy", I really hope that the expansion and the new pet skills might help the "feel" of playing with a pet for the other specs.
- October 5, 2008 at 11:18 PM
And that is why half of my hunters are BM ^_^
- October 6, 2008 at 7:04 AM
My guild has 4 regular raiding hunters. Two are BM, one is marks, one is surv. I'm cookie cutter 41/20 BM, the other beat master runs a variant, but he's got so much T6 and badge gear he has room to play. We each bring something to the raid. 4 BM hunters would be redundant. Myself and the marks hunter wouldn't give up our pets for anything, the other BM has a ghost wolf and raids with it now, despite it being less then top DPS.
Since we're a PDS class in every spec, playing a hunter is about finding what style fits you, and that includes your choice of pet. People with hunter alt ask me what pet to get... I always respond with the same answer: "the one you love."

Cool story, I've always been BM, even when marksmanship was the raiding build. In my opinion, every hunter should do whatever they want, and I'll never tell another hunter how to spec. The farthest I'll go is to answer specific questions about a spec.
For the expansion, I'll be staying BM and focusing on my tenacity pets, and I'll be looking to push the envelope of what's possible in terms of pet tanking. If they implement the 'spec switching', that would be a great opportunity to try out marks and survival, and I hope they do.
Let the Hunt begin!

- Cynra said...
Your story about being forced to switch Marksmanship reminds me of why I went Beast Mastery. Some conceited asshat told me that I'd never get into a raid if I weren't specced for Aimed Shot at least in the Marksmanship tree. I glared, fumed, and then decided to stick pure Beast Mastery. I didn't raid with the huntress until the Burning Crusade, but the bird and her had a hell of a lot of fun anyways!

I really appreciate what you have had to say recently about the specs and BM hunters. I can honestly say, I know what you are saying when you have a love for the synergy of BM hunters. The very first hunter I ever rolled was an orc BM hunter way back before BC came out. A lot of people chided me back then but I love solo'ing things that my other toons have. While this guy is long gone, my new hunter Zuluki is enjoying the success of the new additions to the tree and I cannot wait to see how the added talents from LK carry us even further.

- Nassira said...
Aw, I hope my "I still love my pet" post didn't make you feel bad. It wasn't in response to your post at all, in fact I understand where you were coming from. I had seen another post somewhere else that day about how MM'ers just abuse their pets and shouldn't care about whether or not they die, etc. and was like...woah now...back up. lol
Much <3,
- October 6, 2008 at 1:34 PM
- Pike said...
@ Nassira - Naw, it was because I had just written two posts about being non-BM and I was worried they may have come out the wrong way because I was talking about how I missed the pet aspect, so I wanted to clarify. T'wasn't you <3
- October 6, 2008 at 9:22 PM
- MW said...
I am leveling two more hunters as marksmanship and survival, but as fun as they are, I can totally see what you mean. It does feel different — I don't feel quite as close to my pets as I do on my BM hunters.
How do you take such awesome shooting pics, by the way?
- October 6, 2008 at 9:44 PM
Couldn't agree more.
My exerience is from exactly the opposite end of the spectrum, with my need to mother my pets. I am the strong hunter, and my pets my children, who in return for love, affection, and a degree of protection, will reward me with damage, or tanking, or running off and aggroing everything in the instance.
Every so often one of my children grows up and is sent out back into the wide world to make their own way. I still like to think that Laurentia (my wolf), Sathrah (my spider), Chipolata (my piggy), Webley (my other spider), and soon Getmycoatl (my lightning Serpent) are all out there somewhere, gnawing on hordies and having fun. They may be gone, but they are never forgotten.

IMHO, a pet can augment whatever tree/role you're playing.
If you prefer damage dealing, go BM, and a ravager, cat, or raptor will boost your ability to do that. If you prefer threat management and defense, go Surv, and a boar or bear will greatly improve your ability to do that.
The role they can play is different, in the same way as the role that you play is, but they can still get used in either role.

The Mister Softee Jingle Has Lyrics
Image courtesy of MisterSoftee.com
The Mister Softee jingle was featured on tonight's Curb Your Enthusiasm and I can't get it out of my head. I looked it up—there are lyrics! Maybe typing them out here will help me forget the song.
Here comes Mister Softee
The soft ice cream man.
The creamiest, dreamiest soft ice cream,
You get from Mister Softee.
For a refreshing delight supreme
Look for Mister Softee.
My milkshakes and my sundaes
And my cones are such a treat.
Listen for my store on wheels
Ding-a-ling down the street.
The creamiest dreamiest soft ice cream,
You get from Mister Softee.
Didn't work. Oh well.
The tune was written in 1960 and its full name is "Mister Softee Jingle and Chimes." You can make it your ringtone here.

Along with gin, I think of coffee and tea as mummy's little helper.
Rough night? Either with small humans who want milk or to inform you that their toe nail has grown at 2.04 am or running down the list of top ten greatest moments you made a TOTAL and UTTER tit of yourself (always aids a restful night); No problemo, couple of cups of the good stuff and you are set.
Or so I thought. I started to wonder what exactly I was set for as I gurned away quietly grinding my teeth with my heart pumping at a zillion miles an hour, an all night rave? men's Olympic 100 meter hurdles? Completing both wouldn't have been an issue but when real genuine panic akin to losing one of my children set in over a misplaced left work shoe I decided that perhaps it was time for a re-think.
So dear readers, I went decaf. I braved the skull splitting, sight stealing headache and got through it. Yes I feel better for it, yes I am tired at times but it's manageable, no it hasn't revolutionised my life but I do sleep a little bit better and yes decaf does still have a trace of caffeine, thank god.

I'm first a lover of Jesus longing to follow him with all that I am. I'm married to the most wonderful husband a girl could ask for. I'm a Pediatric nurse taking care of precious kids every day. This blog is part of my story.
Saturday, March 26, 2011
this book.
I've been wanting to blog about this book I just read and am now re-reading for a long time but it's one of those things in life that is so big, so beautiful, so profound, so transformational that words just won't even begin to capture how God is using it to change my heart. He's using it to love me.
The book, One Thousand Gifts is written by a woman named Ann who is a farmer's wife, home-schooling mom to 6 children, and a lover of Jesus who is honest about the brokenness and loss that comes with living life and following Jesus. She is also a poet and her words paint pictures and capture beauty and mess in a way that very few do. The book is her story of thankfulness. A friend dared her to make a list of 1,000 gifts, 1,000 things she's thankful for and she had no idea how God would use the things on that list to convince her of His love.
so, I'm gonna start with a quote and I'm sure there will be many more thoughts to come--
"I, too, had read it often, the oft-quoted verse: 'And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Eph 5:20). And I, too, would nod and say straight-faced, "I'm thankful for everything." But in this counting gifts, to one thousand, more, I discover that slapping a sloppy brush of thanksgiving over everything in my life leaves me deeply thankful for very few things in my life. A lifetime of sermons on "thanks in all things" and the shelves sagging with books on these things and I testify: life-changing gratitude does not fasten to a life unless nailed through with one very specific nail at a time." p. 40
yeah, just go ahead and buy the book. it's worth it.

Syria: 'Largest single-day exodus', Turkish media report
Recent weeks have seen an escalation in the number of Syrian troops fleeing the country. The troops flee as the international community has failed to decide on a unified response to the crisis in Syria.
Turkish media reported that at least 85 Syrian troops, including a general and six other officers, defected to Turkey late Monday and brought 300 family members with them in a mass bid for asylum.
In its report on what would be the largest single-day exodus from the army of Syrian President Bashar Assad, the Turkish Anatolia news agency said 14 generals have abandoned their battle-torn homeland since an uprising began in March 2011.
High-level defections had been relatively rare in the early months of the conflict, attesting to the cohesion of Assad's inner circle, which is made up of members of the country's minority Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam. The majority of Syrians are Sunni Muslims.
But Syrian army attrition has escalated in recent weeks, markedly after Assad's forces shot down a Turkish jet on June 22 that Damascus said had violated Syrian airspace. Ankara insists the plane was downed over international waters, and has stepped up air patrols of its tense, southern border. Another general and 33 other troops crossed over to Turkey during the weekend that followed the plane incident. And on June 21, a Syrian fighter pilot flew his MiG-21 war plane to Jordan and asked for asylum.
Turkey has taken in more than 35,000 Syrian refugees since the campaign to oust Assad began with peaceful protests 16 months ago. Turkish state television said the latest defectors were taken to a refugee camp in Hatay province.
Diplomats and security officials, meanwhile, scrambled to unite Syria's disjointed opposition forces after failing to secure a detailed plan for who would govern the country once the fighting is contained. A meeting of major powers held in Geneva on Saturday at the request of U.N. special envoy Kofi Annan failed to assure the rebel forces that the international community would insist that Assad be excluded from the postwar leadership. The United States and other Western countries have insisted Assad cannot be part of a transitional government, but Russia has refused to go along, arguing that it is up to the Syrian people to decide who leads them.
The Syrian National Council, a self-styled opposition leadership in exile, said on its Facebook page that it was disappointed with the world leaders' inability to make clear to Assad that he has no future in the country where his forces have killed at least 10,000. Some rebel groups and observers put the casualty figure at more than 14,000 dead.
"The Geneva declaration lacks a clear mechanism for action and a timetable for implementation and leaves the regime without accountability," the group said.
In Cairo, where 250 Syrian opposition figures were gathered in hopes of identifying a unified leadership, Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby urged Assad opponents to put aside "any narrow differences or factional disputes" and seize the opportunity to provide the international community a single force it can rally around.
Annan's deputy, Nasser Kidwa, also warned Assad foes that unity was "not an option, but a necessity" if they had any hopes of getting the support of fellow Syrians and aid from abroad.
