Your pitbull found me and I'm not giving her back.*UPDATE AND FB PAGE* (Nashville, TN)
ON EDIT: Clarification: I just reposted this from Craig's list; I am not the person who rescued this dog.
Last Friday night, your dog wondered up onto our porch. Signs of the abuse she had somehow escaped, riddled her body. The fresh bite marks on her muzzle, the scars that covered her body, the exposed pink and purple flesh around her neck, where she was obviously tied up with ropes that cut their way into her skin, over and over again. The obvious signs that she had been bred, relentlessly, time after time. The pressure wounds on her elbows that bled whenever they touched anything, from being tied and forced to lay on cement ground and metal cage mesh. None of those things are even the worst part. Upon examining her teeth to gauge her approximate age, I burst into tears. I found that you had pulled the majority of them out and the ones you left, had been filed down. And you did this without anaesthesia, this I am sure of. You did this so she couldn't fight back. You did this so she couldn't injure any dogs you had trained to fight, when you threw her in there with them. With each bite of her they took and each yelp she cried, they'd look at you for reassurance. Because all they wanted to do was please you. Loyalty is in their blood. Violence is not. The first night she was here, I stayed up with her and only slept for 2 hours. Every time I'd move, she'd get up and look at me with worry stricken eyes. She didn't want me to leave her. Somehow, God must have led this mama to my doorstep, knowing she'd find comfort here. The next morning, I took her to my work on my day off. I work at an animal hospital. Upon entering the building, her neck started to bleed. The thick collar which you put on her, had cut into the tender scars on her neck. She didn't even yelp. I discovered it as I was weighing her and saw blood on the scale. I took the ridiculous thing off of her. The amazing people I work with have all fallen head over heels in love with your dog. So when we discovered she has breast cancer, it broke our hearts even more. Over the last 3 days, our staff has grown to love this beautiful and broken soul. Skin and bones, we feed her constantly but only foods that are soft enough for her... You know, since you ripped her teeth out and all. Mama lets you get right up in her face. In fact, she LOVES it. She'll give you slobbery kisses and nuzzle your face with love. We're all amazed at how trusting of humans she is. Dogs however, completely terrify her. It doesn't matter the size, she growls in fear and tucks her tail between her legs. But who can blame her? After what you did to her? Tomorrow, Mama will finally feel peace. And when she closes her eyes and takes her last breath, I'll be there. I'll hold her big ol head and I'll tell her how much I love her. And when her soul has left her battered body and I've dried the tears enough to see, I will document every bruise, every bite, every cut, scrape and gash. I'll photograph her teeth, or rather, where her teeth used to be. I'll turn in all the evidence and post it where EVERYONE will see it. I'll use it to educate kids in heavily crime ridden areas, on the horrors of dog fighting. If you could do that to a dog, you should not be allowed in everyday society. And teaching our children right from wrong is the only way to put a stop to this. One day, you will be caught. If I ever find out who did this to the dog we all lovingly know as "Mama Jade" I honestly don't know what I would I do. But it would probably involve contacting your mother and informing her of what a monster she managed to raise. My goal would be to make a mockery out of your pathetic life. Mama Jade's story will not be silenced. She just happened to show up on the doorstep of one extremely persistent, intelligent, respected and now angry human being. **UPDATE** Never would I have thought my Craigslist post about Mama Jade would go completely viral. I posted it last night, expecting to receive maybe a few emails about it but nothing huge. Today I have received LITERALLY thousands of emails from people all around the United States. My iPhone crashes every time I try to check my mailbox. The response has been overwhelming and has restored a lot of my faith in humanity. Many people and charities have asked if they could donate funds for Mama to get the treatment for her cancer. Tonight I'll do my best to review as many of the emails as possible and I'll make a decision on what the best route to take will be. One thing is for certain though, Mama Jade is getting yet another chance at life Due to all the requests for a facebook page, one is up and running! From here on out, all updates will be posted here: https://www.facebook.com/MamaJadeNashville

8. Bless you
There was a lot of hate about pitbulls on here earlier this week. Just proves my point again there are no bad dogs, just bad owners.
Maybe bad owners are more attracted to pitbulls because of their bad boy image but they are very good dogs. Unfortunatly there are sick people in this world who abuse dog for fun. Bless you for taking care of this dog and giving her some love in her final days. If you have time maybe take a walk around your area and look for signs of dog fighting / unlicensed dog breeding on your neighbors property (But from the sidewalk! No trespassing!). You can be sure if these sick bastards did this to that dog their doing it to others. |

12. I only reposted this. I do have seven rescue cats and one rescue dog, but I'm not
the one who found the pit bull. Can't take credit for that.
I'm currently one of two in the neighborhood trying to domesticate a semi-feral cat to rescue. Thus far, we've only been able to get her somewhat fattened up and healthier, but haven't been able to get her to trust us enough to touch her. Whether we are able to get her to trust us or not, we've made sure that Precious gets plenty to eat which means she has a much better chance at survival in the long run. Here's something from my journal from DUII days: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x697735
A Cat Named Elvis Elvis wasnt a feral cat. He was likely the unwanted kitten of somebody's pet. Or he was adopted by people who later decided they couldn't keep a cat. Whatever the reason, it became obvious that he had been dumped in our street, coldly, left to become a homeless stray with few survival skills and no support system. However it happened, Elvis, a snow-white, male cat about three or four months old, was dumped in our neighborhood. One day he was just there. We would see him across the road or down the block usually when we were in a hurry to go somewhere. On the few occasions we tried to gently lure him to us, he'd take off. We weren't sure if he belonged to one of the neighbors or not, so there was no real effort to catch him. Then one morning about six to eight months after he first appeared in our neighborhood, the white cat showed up on our back deck and wrapped himself, purring, around my husbands legs. (continued) |

9. That poor girl.
That's how my son's dad got our first pittie. He heard crying/howling from a garage. Found a pittie puppy about 9 months old with a huge chain around her neck. Her food and water dish just outside her reach. Even as a puppy, already scarred from fights.
So, he broke the garage window and stole her. She became the sweetest dog I've ever known. She died several years ago of old age. She lived a happy, healthy and loved life for 14 years. |

19. I had a neighbor in the duplex I used to live in who had two pitbull puppies
He was teaching them to be vicious, that I know. He constantly wrestled with them, made a makeshift pad on his arm and trained them to bite it. He had them wrestle each other constantly to toughen them up. I doubt he was training them to fight other dogs, but I can't know for sure.
One day, he left the house for the day and left the dogs tied up in his backyard, near the house and the middle fence that denotes our two properties. My mom awoke that night to sounds of a dog yelping in pain and terror. Alerting me, we went out in the backyard to find that the dog had hanged itself on satellite wires and was struggling desperately to breathe. It was able to pull itself up on other wires long enough to get breath before slipping and choking again. Not wanting to injure ourselves in the dog's throes, we called the police and let them know that the dog was in danger. They came and found that the dog had finally managed to slip out of its makeshift noose and was now laying with his brother. Seeing the scars on their bodies from their wrestling, they asked if there was abuse. We told them the truth, unbiased that he was training them to be guard dogs and had encouraged them to fight each other. Thankfully, that was more than enough for them to take the dogs to the local animal shelter. I have no idea what happened to those dogs, but I'd like to think that after getting the care they needed, they both went to a house where both of them would get the love that those beautiful puppies deserved. |

31. What an awesome story!! So glad she gets a second chance!
We have a rescue dog. If I drop the TV remote he jumps up and runs to the other room. If I raise my voice even to yell at a baseball game on TV, he hides. He is my husband's dog. When I first met my husband 4 years ago he would cower whenever anyone came into the house. Now he's braver and will often walk up to people with his tail wagging if he is feeling okay about them. He used to cringe whenever we hugged or pet him. Now he loves to cuddle. Just not for a long time. Now he often walks up to us just to be petted and loved. He gives lots of kisses. When I first met him he would hang back and clearly trusted no one.
The first time we ever got him groomed the groomer uncovered a 2 inch gash on the side of his leg that had clearly never been stitched. I wish I could make him stop being afraid but I know that will never happen, he's scarred for life. So we consider it our privilege to spoil and love him and make the rest of his life happier than the first part. He's a really beautiful dog. Truly. Beautiful big eyes in a white face, white eyelashes, and such an angelic expression, almost all the time. He has an underbite and looks like he is smiling all the time. I don't see how anyone could be cruel to this little guy. He's such a joy. |

Glad to see there may be hope for her cancer, and she isn't going to be put down. Some call people like her owner animals, but animals don't do things like this. Only we intelligent, civilized humans do.
My son has a pit bull puppy, and she's the sweetest little thing. Very smart, wants to please, loves to play. She was in the pen with my Australian Shepherd yesterday, while I worked outside. He tolerates her right now, but I hope they become friends; she's so rowdy and he's older and more settled, so it may take a while, until she gets bigger. My other son found her sleeping next to him in the dog house, it was such a cute image. |

53. It's wonderful and heartwarming that Mama Jade will be getting the treatment that she deserves
due to the kindness of others. But lets not forget the many other dogs and cats who provide desperately needed support to poor people who otherwise would be all alone in this world who are also needing veterinary care and sometimes their owners can't even afford to feed them properly.
Veterinary care can be extremely expensive and sadly there are too many cases where the owners are forced to put their pet down because they just can't afford the veterinary bill. And then there are those who can't even afford to put their suffering pets down because euthanasia at a vet's office is also expensive and they can't do that either. Fortunately there are kind people in many communities who are trying to help. In Sacramento for instance there is a program run by an organization called Titanic's Pantry that operates a food pantry for dogs and cats. And occasionally they provide a free health clinic for the pets of poor people that is staffed by vets doing voluntary work. We need to see more programs like this around the country and I would urge people to support such programs as much as they can. And if you are a poor person who cannot afford food or veterinary care for your pet try to find out if there might be a program in your community that can help. And if you can please keep some pet food in your car's trunk and when you see a homeless person with a cardboard sign asking for food please who also has a pet with them please don't forget their pet. A small bag of kibble or a couple of cans of food can do wonders. And donate to pet food pantries. Many do not have sufficient resources to serve all of the pet owners in need in their communities. Titanic's Pantry accepts both cash donations and donations of pet food itself in unopened bags or cans. I think they also accept donations of supplies such as collars and leashes and flea medicine. http://www.sacpetfoodbank.org/ |

54. We had a beautiful "blue" pitbull show up on our porch.
I think they called it a "blue". It was actually gray with a little white on it's chest. This dog was unbelievably sweet. He was underweight, but other than that, he looked pretty healthy. He was really a beautiful dog. Unfortunately, there was no way we could keep him. We had four other animals that were getting up in age ( we just lost one a couple weeks ago that we had for over 15 years ::cry!: and this cutie pitbull was just filled with a bit too much energy.
We had taken him to a couple places that we immediately didn't trust, then we took him to our trusted vet. The secretary in his office told us she knew of a group of people that "saved" pitbulls. They might be illegal where I live. Anyway, we let her call a guy and we met him and turned over "Bruiser" ( I foolishly named him..) and watched as he drove away with this loving animal. To this day, I don't know if we gave him to a trust worthy person or not. We tried to exchange phone numbers, but the guy said in was in a hurry and his wife was going to kill him for bringing home another dog. ??? Bruiser, in the day and half that we had him, stuck right by my side and constantly tried to play or give me big facial kisses. This dog was screaming to be loved. He made sure he didn't misbehave except for jumping on me when I threw a tennis ball for him to retrieve: which is why I called him Bruiser.Ouch! He would actually jump and push off on me. heh heh I'll never forget him and never stop thinking about whether I gave him to the right people. |

I'm taking a very late lunch and crying over my burger.
Poor gentle dog!!! I hope that she finds peace in doggie Heaven. I also hope that they find the cruel bastard/s who tortured her and who knows how many other dogs. May good karma always be with her savior and the other folks at the animal hospital. |

My parents were… one of my parents was Kate McGarrigle, the other is Loudon Wainwright III, both artists and songwriters.
The household I grew up in… seemed to me like a palace. It was a Victorian house in a nice neighbourhood in Montreal. We were certainly the most bohemian and odd ones on the block. It was a rambling, falling-down house with a studio in the basement. Me and Rufus had our own rooms. At night-time we would try to out-sing the other one. He, of course, won every night.
If I could change one thing about myself… I would be less lazy. I think I'm coming out of it now, being a mother.
You wouldn't know it but I am very good at… cooking. I'm the kind of person who could make something out of what's in your fridge.
I wish I had never worn… There's a couple of high-waisted, crotch-digging, bulky, baggy shorts that I've seen in some photos – at that awkward period of 13, in the early Nineties. Wrong.
What I see when I look in the mirror… An extension of my mother that I never saw before. The gestures, the features, the grey arriving right on time. A transformation into the next phase.
It's not fashionable but I like… Antiques Roadshow.
My favourite work of art… Joan Snyder recently painted something for me, called Tell My Sister, which is a song my mother wrote. Her painting is very feministic, it's vaginas and all this stuff. It opened my eyes to a type of art I would not necessarily go towards.
My favourite building… Le Corbusier's little church in the south of France [Notre Dame du Haut].
A book that changed me… The Master and Margarita.
Movie heaven… Probably something that is long, subtitled and about death.
My greatest regret… Not being nicer to my mother. I could have been a better daughter. I figured I had more time and would become better as I got older. And I did turn it around in the last few years.
The person who really makes me laugh… Arcangelo, my son. He's just started to talk, so it's absolutely hilarious. Everything is "money", "wine", "up and down" or "ears". So everything has taken on a totally new reality.
My five-year plan… To be out on the road with two tour buses, so one could be dedicated to the little school I would like to start. I would have to hire musicians with kids the same age as Arc. Basically, it's like starting a circus, minus the tattoos and piercings.
What's the point? To be happy, to eat and drink, and make love.
My life in six words… Loving, easy, free, chaotic, lucky, colourful.
A life in brief
Martha Wainwright was born in New York City in 1976. She is the daughter of folk musicians Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, and the sister of fellow singer-songwriter Rufus. She grew up in Montreal and began her musical career performing with her mother, releasing her eponymous debut solo album in 2005. Her third studio album, Come Home to Mama, was released last month. She is playing the first date of her UK tour at the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire, tomorrow. She lives in Brooklyn, New York City

BP Comment Quick Links
July 5, 2011 The BP BroadsideLeave My Mind Alone!
Thou Dost Protest Too Much, Wieters Apologist You REALLY nailed that Wieters is an all-time bust! Bottom Line is that he is the best fielding catching with no passed balls / best arm /calls a great game. While no one will confuse Matt with Joe Mauer—in terms of hitting, keep in mind his hitting production is about 3rd or 4th best for all catchers in the AL. Russell Martin—now there's a piece of sh*t!—W
Let's try this one more time: I'm very happy for Wieters's many defenders that they found a great defensive catcher under their Christmas tree, but that's not what they were looking for. If it were, the Orioles could have saved their bonus money four years ago and signed Henry Blanco for the major league minimum. This was a first-round draft-pick, rated the best amateur position player in the country at the time of his selection, who hit .343/.438/.576 in the minor leagues. That the Orioles wound up with a potential Gold Glover who is also an average-at-best hitter is the consolation prize, not something to crow about. The man was supposed to be a switch-hitting Yogi Berra and you got Jim Sundberg instead. Congratu-bleepin'-lations. Yankees says Mets have made K-Rod available—"door is wide open"—but are only marginally interested. Prefer to wait on R. Soriano.
Of course the Mets would offer Francisco Rodriguez to the Yankees. If they bit on one overpriced closer—I refer, of course, to the Yankees' dirty secret, the pitcher Brian Cashman was forced to swallow sideways, Rafael Soriano—they'll likely bite on another. No doubt the Mariners will be calling to offer them Brandon League for Manny Banuelos next. "Hey, he's leading the league in savess so he must be good, and Ron Washington thinks he's an All-Star."

[Real Men] f(x)'s Amber Completely Fell In Love with "Honey Voice" Instructor, "His Cold Eyes Is So Enchanted"
f(x)'s Amber has unexpectedly fell in love with her 'Honey Voice' drill instructor while filming "Real Men."
On MBC's "Real Men," the female soldiers go into extreme cold PT training. The 'Honey Voice' drill instructor is especially tough on them, and the entire group is tired out as they enter into a tough rope course.
However, so much snow starts falling that for the first time, the 'Honey Voice' drill instructor takes off his sunglasses, and when he does, Amber completely falls for his surprisingly warm and kind-looking face.
Amber says during the interview afterwards, "The drill instructor's eyes are so pretty. I like strong guys who look cute when they smile." She then makes a surprise confession, saying, "The 'Honey Voice' drill instructor is actually quite close to my ideal type."

Badgers get fresh reminder of dangers that lurk
Chicago — Wisconsin senior tailback James White acknowledged when he learned earlier this week a teammate had been assaulted in Madison, his focus briefly drifted back to the summer of 2012.
"You have a little bit of a flashback," White said Wednesday during the Big Ten Conference preseason meetings. "It's an unfortunate situation, but he'll bounce back. He is doing fine now."
Quarterback Tanner McEvoy, a transfer from Arizona Western College, was attacked early Sunday morning, near the intersection of Wisconsin Ave. and East Dayton St. According to Madison Police, his wallet, iPhone and watch were taken and he suffered cuts on his head.
Last summer, then-senior tailback Montee Ball was assaulted by four men on University Ave. His injuries were more serious than McEvoy's, and he missed about two weeks of camp.
UW coach Gary Andersen reiterated Wednesday that McEvoy would be ready for camp Aug. 5.
"He's back with us now," Andersen said. "Expect him to walk into camp full steam ahead and be prepared to compete for that quarterback role."
Andersen stressed he wants his players to do all they can to ensure their safety but added that even the strictest measures sometimes aren't enough.
"Those are always tricky situations," he said. "And again, I go back and share with you what I tell young men all the time in team meetings. And I say this in recruiting all the time: You gotta understand your situation. You gotta understand your surroundings.
"Doesn't matter if you grow up in a town of 40 or grow up in a town of four million. There's always issues that can pop up, and you have to be careful.
"I know we'll do our best to reach out to many of the student-athletes as we can to talk about it and not just football players, to be able to be prepared to understand your surroundings.
"We'll learn as much as we can from this as a team. Madison is an unbelievably safe town. Our kids are in great hands with great support and great people in Madison."
White and UW linebacker Chris Borland called the incidents unrelated and insisted they feel safe on the UW campus and around Madison.
According to Borland, a Chicago radio DJ came up with a less-than-complimentary name to describe the Magnificent Mile in the wake of several recent muggings.
"I actually heard on the radio there have been three incidents on Miracle Mile," he said. "They're calling it 'Muggery Mile.'
"But I feel safe this week, and I feel safe in Madison."
McEvoy is expected to battle senior Curt Phillips and redshirt sophomore Joel Stave for the No.1 quarterback spot.
Andersen said he doesn't have a timetable to name a starter but noted the staff this week structured the first two weeks of practice.
"It is a challenge to make sure that the coaches do a good job of (giving) those three quarterbacks an opportunity to be with the No.1s and the No.2s," Andersen said. "Sometimes they're going to have to go with the down-the-line kids, which is good. Can you make plays when you're not surrounded with as good of players?
"There is definitely a plan. It's not the perfect plan. It's not a foolproof plan. But we'll try to make sure they get enough reps to have to have an opportunity to compete equally."

Elitists ruined WoW.
Ruined WoW? Lol no.
Took away some features I liked, yeah, but it's still great.
This is correct, but likewise, the subs were on a constant increase through Wrath. It may not seem like Vanilla was casual by today's standards, but at the time, it was. And despite being comparatively casual, it drew people in masses. It continued to get more casual and continued to draw people in. It was a selling point then, and is a selling point now. It's not a flaw. People wanted a more accessible game. They don't necessarily want everything handed to them, but they want content accessible.
Point being, WoW got to a record breaking number of subscribers not by being hardcore, but by being casual. There is no reason to believe that it was the cause of the eventual decrease in subs.
LOL at this thread again.
I used to be hardcore, world first contestant in vanilla and bc, but now you know, that was 10 years ago, when i was about 14. Now i have a life, a girlfriend to take care of, higher education. So yup, i'm casual now, i cannot find time to raid at all, i like the effort of flex but it solves nothing for me personally.
tldr dont feel entitled because you have too much time on your hands. Your 15 bucks is worth the same as mine.
Hardcore and casual are styles of play, not demographics. Let's stop the whole hardcore vs. casual debate. The underlying issue is that the game lacks exclusive hardcore content for people that want a challenge. People are tired of Blizzard slapping a difficulty modifier on something and calling it content. It's not content and Blizzard is not fooling anyone. Lastly, if you like the casual style better, that's fine, but don't try to bring others down when they want more hardcore content. That's just being selfish.
how about you fuck off you little entitled elitist jerk? I unsub after one month when a new patch launches nowadays. Why? Saw the content they made and i like the fact that others can enjoy it more if they want to but i don't have the fucking time anymore.
elsewhise there is NOTHING that keeps me playing the game. MoP is one big grind, maybe timeless isle prooves interesting but i can't see me playing that for over 1 month without knowing everything on there.
tldr mop is boring as fuck and i don't have enough time to invest to make it interesting. I'm sure it's interesting for a lot of players (normal/heroic raiders) but that's what they choose to do. Stop blaming us, more casually approached people. It's just a game.
Infracted: Please do not insult other posters. Thank you. [ML]

Yes, I became casual and saw myself become the villain.
I love how people keep going on about Vanilla/TBC being hard, yet when you look at vids from so called "hard" content back then you realise how bad people were. We've gotten some great fights over the last expansions and personally I've enjoyed ToT a shitload. I'm pretty sure that if Blizzard would've kept things Vanilla style we would have seen even lower sub numbers today, nostalgia is a subjective matter, objectively on the other hand, very few people would agree that vanilla generally > MoP.
So it's true then, you either die hardcore or live long enough to see yourself become the casual.
I'd love Blizz to throw in what D and D does excellently in that it has several difficulty modes catered to people who like a challenge or those who simply want to clear a dungeon ^^
Every shooter has a selectable difficulty of easy-normal-hard when you start playing it, some have even 4th or 5th option. That "easy" is the made for casuals option. You can't be so blind or obtuse to not see that.
It depends more on class than lack of trying. Classes that can tank (with pet or by themselves) have always been in advantage when it comes to soloing content from vanilla to MoP. That's why tanks were the first classes to be able to solo dungeon bosses.
Never going to log into this garbage forum again as long as calling obvious troll obvious troll is the easiest way to get banned.
Trolling should be.
Not sure if you were playing the same game but...
- Rogues soloed Hearthglen much easier than any of the other classes, careful use of Stealth is necessary
- Warriors are severely limited in their soloing due to rage mechanics and lack of self healing, Feral Druids are also affected but less so due to mana issues
- A SPriest has an easy time soloing elites with heal on damage and MC in some situations
- Warlock Blueberries are crap at tanking in Vanilla even on normal mobs
Of course, this didn't stop players of all classes trying and some of them succeeding and teaching others how to do it, which IMO should be the way the game is learnt instead of being babied by Blizzard all the way
If you are going to throw in two hour heroics then I will throw in players complaints of waiting multiple hours just to fill a group on top of having to fly to the dungeon and run it which took at least half an hour to an hour or more and having to find replacement players being a pain in the ass resulting in more downtime or a disbanded group. The troubles of having to replace a player was often enough to force groups to work together with the group they had. Then there was heroic lockouts set to a day along with the VP equivalent reward rate of only running dungeons in WotLK being significantly lower than that of a player who full cleared both 10 and 25 man raids along with running a daily heroic and a weekly raid boss compared to Cata which equalized the gaps and vastly increased the rewards from running heroics.
So pick your poison.

I hate casual guilds. Wiping endlessly to the same boss because your raid team is trash is a giant waste of time. I'm currently looking for a new guild and I'm going to shoot myself if I get another guild that says they are semi-casual. Like, no youre not semi casual or semi hardcore. Youre casual, you don't care that your raider is causing you to waste hours of your life every week and the only reason they are in the raid is because they are your friend or you have an e-crush on them.
Just because a guild is casual does not automatically imply it's full of bad players.
Whilst the frequency of poor casual players is probably higher than hardcore, almost by definition, there's still a LOT of casual players who are good enough not to endlessly wipe.
My guild in TBC was "casual" yet it killed everything pre Sunwell Plateu pre-nerf, it's all about finding a group of competent players and a leader who knows what he's doing
They spent about the same amount of time watching TV instead, what's your point?
That's utter nonsense. My guild raided 2-3 nights per week since TBC and cleared most of the content in the game (including hardmodes). We had doctors and surgeons with families, we had people working on their M.Sc.s etc. It's a hobby like any other, you don't need 12 hours per day, if you can schedule 2-3 nights per week, it's enough time-wise. Your problem is not that you have a family and mortgage, your problem is that you're bad at the game and instead of trying to improve, you cry to Blizzard to give you everything with no effort.I wish I had 12 hours a day to devote to playing WoW. Unfortunately I have a family to feed and a mortgage to pay off. I guess I'll just have to remain "lazy and entitled" because my "poor character" compels me to prioritize shelter and family over a computer game.
"There is a pervasive myth that making content hard will induce players to rise to the occasion. We find the opposite. " -- Ghostcrawler
"Almost every time I have gotten to know a critic personally, they keep up with the criticism but lose the venom." -- Ghostcrawler
"Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must first be overcome." -- Samuel Johnson
Casuals have been here since beta.
The word "casual" has many meanings.
What do you also mean by "ruin". The game has made amazing improvements over time, some aspects of the game may have gotten worse but for the most part the game is fine. The only thing that can really "ruin" the game is it's old age.

National Drought Mitigation Center
The NDMC and Center for Research on the Changing Earth System (CRCES) conducted a workshop for water systems managers in Lincoln that discussed impacts in the Missouri River Basin (MRB). Vikram Mehta of CRCES is the lead investigator on a project to better understand the potential applications of long-term climate outlooks based on decadal climate patterns. This was the third of three workshops, following one in Kansas City, Missouri on April 27-28, 2009 and in Helena, Montana on June 24-25, 2009.
The purposes of this workshop were:
Approximately 20 stakeholders and policymakers representing federal, state, and local governments, universities, and private sector organizations in the Basin participated in the workshop. Vikram Mehta and Norm Rosenberg gave presentations regarding the current and future potential of decadal climate outlooks for the basin. Rolf Olsen from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers presented the impacts of historical floods and drought in the basin, and Doug Kluck of NOAA Climate Services gave an overview of what data and information are available from this newly created program within NOAA.
The researchers used a variety of public participation techniques to explore historic recollections of the three specific flood and drought periods, to document the effects of decadal climate variability (DCV) on supply and demand, and to discuss how DCV outlooks may help in future water-related decision making.

The Tecsun PL-880 (Photo: bbs.tecsun.com.cn/)
Last night, I discovered news of the new Tecsun PL-880 on Jeff's excellent blog, the Herculodge.
Out of all of the current shortwave radio manufacturers, Tecsun seems to be one of the only companies making new models for the radio hobbyist–models with important features like SSB, bandwidth control, fine tuning steps, capable AGC, etc.
According to a comment Owl left on this post, it sounds like the PL-880 could be a performer:
Two photos of Tecsun's new model PL880 appeared yesterday. It uses an analog+DSP architecture similar to ATS909X but has made some significant improvements (4 AM bandwidth + 5 SSB bandwidth) and better audio compared to previous Tecsun portables.
I will plan on reviewing the PL-880, once it hits the market. If it's no larger than my Sony ICF-SW7600GR, it might make for a great travel radio. Posted on August 8, 2013 by Thomas http://swling.com/blog
In Tecsun BBS forum we saw a new Tecsun PL 880 model picture
which is written as FM STEREO / LW / MW / SW-SSB PLL SYNTHESIZED RECEIVER - yet in the description area we can see the mention of DSP - how ii it? We wonder...
From first look it appears to be a advanced version of PL-380 with bigger tuning knobs - bigger than PL660 and a new style of speaker cover - the speaker also claimed as new dynamic speaker - we can see... a so-called ultra-dynamic full-range speaker is used. The design of the audio section of PL880 might have benefited from Tecsun's experience on making a few portable media-players (Tecsun A3/D3/X3/etc.) in the past couple of years.
We should note PL380 is a DSP portable and PL600 or PL660 is PLL Synthesized receiver not DSP.
They claimed the AM section of this new model adopts an architecture similar to ATS909X, i.e. dual conversion to 2nd IF of 450 KHz which is then inputted as RF signal into Si4734/5 and further down coverted to the IC's "low IF" for DSP decoding. so it is PLL Synthesized and IF is based on DSP just like Sangean it seems.
It doesn't say anything about RDS which is great on Sangean ATS909X, and can't remember that any Tecsun radio has RDS support.
They said 18650 Li-ion rechargeable batteries are used in this model.
Like Sangean it includes separate LSB/USB but 10 Hz step for SSB (implies dual PLL?). You know Sangean ATS 909X has 40 Hz fine tuning on SSB so better resolution eh?
No mention of Sync. detection is a big loss like Sangean over Sony ICF 7600GR.
There are four (2.3/3.5/5.0/9.0 kHz) AM bandwidths and five (0.5/1.2/2.3/3.0/4.0 kHz) SSB bandwidths. This could be a huge improvement over ATS909X which makes no use at all of the seven IF bandwidth provided by Si4735. But Tecsun users already know that Tecsun's DSP portable always came with 5 bandwidth options 1/2/3/4/6 kHz from PL310 and they are very sharp.
Sizes: 192 mm x 113 mm x 33 mm, that is about 7.5 x 4.4 x 1.3 inches
Can be charged via miniUSB power socket like many other Tecsun portables.
If you ask me whether should go for this one, I will say no because I havn't tested it yet and I found non DSP Tecsun PL 660 pretty outstanding then other Tecsun DSP based receivers.

Hunting - Region 7
Wed Sep 30 00:00:00 MDT 2009
Reports from several southeastern Montana locations have confirmed that EHD (epizootic hemorrhagic disease) has surfaced in the resident white-tailed deer populations. Reports from Glendive, Savage, Sidney, Circle, Brockway, Angela and Rock Springs suggest EHD has surfaced in the local white-tail populations.
EHD is an infectious viral disease of white-tailed deer and outbreaks can occur annually. EHD and the bluetongue virus are basically indistinguishable. Biting flies transmit both diseases and the disease is seasonal and usually occurs late summer or early fall. A hard freeze can kill the insects and stop the spread of the disease.
Usually EHD infects the deer and incubates for 7 – 10 days and once the virus matures it results in death within 24 hours. Normally infected deer gravitate to water.

The Impact of Ethanol Plants on Surrounding Farmland Values: A Case Study
The expansion of the corn ethanol industry after 2003 increased corn prices throughout the United States, and, in some cases, prices were shown to be higher with proximity to individual ethanol plants. This leads to the hypothesis that the value of farmland in close proximity to ethanol plants is higher than comparable farmland located farther away. This hypothesis was explored by examining the sale of 961 farmland parcels during 2004–2008, in the vicinity of two corn ethanol plants in northeastern Nebraska. Hedonic models including land characteristics as well as spatial and plant proximity measures failed to show support for the hypothesis.

Want to know more about AVI? We've prepared an AVI Fact Sheet
Prepared by the Passyunk Square Civic Association
¬ AVI = Actual value initiative introduced by the City of Philadelphia ("City") to revamp the system of real property taxes. All real property in the City has been reassessed based on market value (i.e. what someone might buy it for on the free market). The market values of all real property in Philadelphia were determined by the City's Office of Property Assessments ("OPA"). The City's stated purpose for AVI is to make the values of real estate, and thus the tax obligations of property owners in Philadelphia, accurate and fair.
¬ OPA released the new assessments on February 15, 2013. The assessments relate to tax year 2014. Each property owner should receive notice of his/her new assessment in the mail. You can also check the new assessments online at: http://avicalculator.phila.gov.
¬ The amount of real estate taxes will be determined once the City has determined the tax rate. The tax rate will be determined when the City has approved the budget for 2014. The City budget is typically determined around May of the preceding year. Currently, the minimum tax rate that has been identified by the City is 1.25% of the assessed value of each property. For example, if your assessment is set at $100,000 and the tax rate is set at 1.32%, your tax obligation will be $1,320.
¬ Owner/occupants can apply for a homestead exemption, by submitting a paper application that was previously mailed, by applying online at http://www.phila.gov/OPA/AbatementsExemptions/Pages/Homestead.aspx, or by calling 215-686-9200 to apply. The deadline to apply for the homestead exemption if July 31, 2013 for applicability in tax year 2014. It should be noted that the homestead exemption measure is not yet finalized, but is currently proposed as a $30,000 reduction of a homeowner's assessment. For example, if your assessment is set at $100,000 and you are eligible for the homestead exemption, you will be taxed at $70,000 for the period of the exemption. Other proposals for the homestead exemption and other gentrification protection measures are being considered by City Council. The greater the discount measures approved, the higher the tax rate will be.
¬ Property owners may appeal their new tax assessments here http://www.phila.gov/OPA/Assessments/Pages/Appeals.aspx. First level of review is conducted by OPA. You must complete a request form by March 31, 2013 and provide information you think is pertinent to your assessment. It should be noted that the OPA evaluator may increase, decrease, or keep your assessment the same as a result of the review.
¬ If homeowners are not satisfied with the outcome of the first level of review, they may appeal to the Board of Revision of Taxes ("BRT"). Formal appeals to BRT are due by October 7, 2013 for tax year 2014.

Zombie protesters are members of Captain Donnie's crew found on Braindeath Island protesting for rum. Due to their presence however, the factory has been closed with the brewers working for Captain Braindeath cowering, scared to leave the factory as they will be torn to pieces by the zombies outside. All of the zombies have big signs with bottles of 'rum' on them. They will follow players if they get in range.
Their slogans of "United we stagger!" and "Give us yer rum, ye scurvy dog!" are enough to petrify even the hardiest of pirate brewers.
- Their examine information, "Sticking it to 'The Man'", is likely a reference to the comedy film School of Rock. It may also be a reference to protesters in the 1960s, where "The Man" is the government.
- There is a glitch where when they walk, their posts tend to fling around. This has been fixed.
- They will yell out "Give us rum, or give us death!" which is a reference to Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty, or give me death!"

Carolina Boots: Men's Brown CA7539 Composite Toe Waterproof Logger Boots
If people were meant to have wet feet, shoes would come with their own faucets and piping systems. Don't say it isn't possible -- we have satellites on the moon, so shoemakers could definitely figure that one out. But your feet aren't supposed to be wet, and that's ...

Carolina Boots: Men's Brown CA7539 Composite Toe Waterproof Logger Boots
If people were meant to have wet feet, shoes would come with their own faucets and piping systems. Don't say it isn't possible -- we have satellites on the moon, so shoemakers could definitely figure that one out. But your feet aren't supposed to be wet, and that's why Carolina Men's Brown CA7539 Composite Toe 8 Inch Waterproof EH Logger Boots keep you dry.
These 8 inch logger boots are made with Bandit Coffee Liqueur leather, which is just a fancy way of saying it's brown. But color doesn't matter in these Carolina boots because the material feels so good. Leather's natural flexibility and pliancy keeps you comfortable through every step. It even stays pliant when it's wet.
And when it is wet, you won't get wet. That's because these safety toe boots are made with Carolina waterproof Scubaliners that keep you dry in spite of what the weather's doing. Lightweight mesh material was used to create the breathable lining in these Carolina boots. Because it's made with mesh, the fabric won't trap heat that makes your feet feel sweaty.
Memory foam was used to create the pillow cushion footbeds in these composite toe boots. Contouring memory foam adjusts to your movements to deliver comfort while you're walking, standing, or trying to attach faucets to your feet. The footbeds are made in an anatomical design that matches the natural curves of your steps when you wear these waterproof boots.
Lightweight, shock-resistant polyurethane was used in the midsole layer of these logger boots to cushion your feet. PU is lighter than rubber, but it absorbs even more force. Triple-rib steel shanks keep your arches well-supported while wearing these EH-rated boots. The shanks follow the tender inner curves of your feet to lift arches and prevent muscle strain.
Stitched welt construction joins the one-piece rubber lug soles to the leather uppers. The welt construction creates flexibility around the leather and soles to make for easier steps when wearing these work boots. The lug soles are rated for EH and ESD wear. The electrical hazard resistance was tested in an independent lab to absorb up to 14,000 volts. Thanks to the electro-static dissipative finish, the soles won't soak up a lot of static energy that may harm nearby electronic equipment.
Non-metallic composite was used to create the safety toe caps of these EH-rated boots. Composite, lighter than steel, won't conduct temperature or electricity. It will give you ASTM I-75/C-75 rated protection to guard you from impact and compression every bit as well as steel, so you can feel safe in these Carolina boots.
You weren't meant to have wet feet, or uncomfortable steps. Wear Carolina Men's Brown CA7539 Composite Toe Waterproof EH 8 Inch Logger Boots and you won't.

My breast augmentation surgery was about a week ago, and I plan on taking a 4.5hour plane ride in 6 days. Is it safe for me to travel? I'm a very bad flyer and take adavant to calm my nerves. What pills can I take to calm my nerves AND relieve the pain from my recent breast augmentation?
Flying After Breast Augmentation - Medication?
Doctor Answers 2
You should discuss this with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon as you are still in the post operative phase of your procedure and you will want to discuss the risks with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon before you fly on a trip this soon after a procedure.
Web reference: http://www.elitemdspa.info/
Your Surgery has been over a week ago. All of your anesthesia is clearly out of your system. It sounds like you get stressed form flying anyway. Your procedure will not interfere with your travel. Taking a mild sedative on the plane would be acceptable. Something like low dose Ativan, etc. Enjoy your trip. Do not over medicate, or stress out.
These answers are for educational purposes and should not be relied upon as a substitute for medical advice you may receive from your physician. If you have a medical emergency, please call 911. These answers do not constitute or initiate a patient/doctor relationship.

text: I realize this is a bit off-topic, but man I hope this isn't true of our music educational system! The fact is, bebop is a direct descendant of swing and blues. You can't even begin to understand bebop, musically, without a firm grasp and understanding of 'swing,' blues, and those styles that directly preceeded bebop. I'm talking about the chord progressions, structure of the music, feel and rhythm, the whole package. To teach as though jazz all started with bebop is the antithesis of the term "education." And I don't think it's a very good way to learn bebop or any form of jazz.

You know where this is going. Advertisement CCTV is China's state news channel, and the program (the second part in a series), which visited a juvenile prison to speak with those apparently influenced by the titles in question, blames online video games for contributing to everything from teen pregnancy to drug addiction to murder.The timing of the program is no coincidence, as Chinese bodies have spent much of 2009 cracking down on online games, banning some titles while suspending others.

When your child was a baby, you scheduled your life around nap times and diaper changes. Now your growing child needs you to schedule your life around school.
Take the "year at a glance" approach. If you have a child starting first grade and one in fourth, one a musician and the other an athlete, then you must sketch out how you will achieve a balance between school, their activities, your work and your activities.
It's best to look at all of these areas at once so you can spot the trouble spots. Once you have the big picture, it's time to ask how you can set up a regular routine to ensure that everyone's needs are met -- including yours. Early in the school year, decide which activities will fit and which will have to be postponed. One of the biggest areas of concern for modern families is activity overload. Avoid it!
Now that you know what activities you'll do regularly, decide where homework fits and set a regular time for it. Whether there are assignments or not, this should be the time of day that your child always does a little school work, even if it's extra work assigned by Mom or Dad. When will you have dinner? If possible, do it at the same time every day and expect all family members to attend (even busy teens). Don't eat on the run! If you have to eat in the car to stay on schedule, then you're doing too much!
Open any magazine in America and you might find a story on the cumulative sleep debt that Americans are suffering from. It causes accidents, ill health and poor work performance. It has the same effect on young students. Without enough sleep, their learning suffers, as does their behavior.
Additionally, lack of sleep makes kids prone to getting sick, which means they miss school and get behind in their learning. Avoid these problems by setting a reasonable bedtime for your children and sticking to it. According to Jodi Mindell, Ph.D., a member of the National Sleep Foundation, elementary-aged children need between 10 and 12 hours of sleep each night. She also recommends adding an additional 10 to 20 minutes to that amount to account for the time is takes your child to fall asleep. Keeping these requirements in mind, your child's bedtime should be no later than 8:30 p.m.
There are many demands placed on our time. There are after-school opportunities galore: sports, music, drama, art and more. Parents have an equal number of options for after-work activities. Parents want to provide the best for their children and many believe that giving them access to as many opportunities as possible is the best way to enhance their learning.
In fact, the best way to enhance a child's learning is to allow them to slow down and think about what happened in class and to talk to them about it. This type of reflection can only come when parents and children have some downtime together. We advocate the motto: Just Do Nothing.
We all love TV. We loved cartoons as kids, and probably sitcoms, dramas or reality shows now. But be careful not to watch TV to the exclusion of all other forms of entertainment. Kids aren't as good at moderating their exposure to TV. They need the help of their parents to make good choices and to limit the time spent being a passive observer. Kids learn best when they're actively involved in what they're doing. Reading, talking, exploring, drawing, building, playing -- these are all important parts of childhood. Make sure they don't get squeezed out by too much Phineas and Ferb.
