I quite like this one by Prévert ; it's time-appropriate, too
Il dit non avec la tête
mais il dit oui avec le coeur
il dit oui à ce qu'il aime
il dit non au professeur
il est debout
on le questionne
et tous les problèmes sont posés
soudain le fou rire le prend
et il efface tout
les chiffres et les mots
les dates et les noms
les phrases et les pièges
et malgré les menaces du maître
sous les huées des enfants prodiges
avec des craies de toutes les couleurs
sur le tableau noir du malheur
il dessine le visage du bonheur

Thanks minty.. .I will remember that. I have over 20 years creative writing experience and no shame so it's easy for me to write and then to show it around! Yes, please translate the Prevert, it sounds fab in French, but it would be interesting to see if I understand the bits I think I understand!!
I read some short stories by Karen Blixen which were wonderful. They had a warm, rich flavour but I think they were 'Gothic' tales, published by Penguin again. I had them from the library but will probably get them 'cos I love Gothic Romantic stuff.

I'm finishing a thesis in british civilisation
What?!! We have a civilisation? Why didn't somebody tell me that was what it was?!
So you love cats and books, eh? Me too! I have probably more books than is legally allowed! And I cannot walk past a cat without saying hallo... in French.
All because Colette (one of my favourite writers) who was in London with a friend once stopped and talked to a cat in French. Her friend said, 'Why talk to him in French, when he's an English cat?'
Colette's reply was, 'Because ALL cats speak French.' and somehow I have to agree. Tho' a friend of mine saw a postcard that said, If cats could talk... they wouldn't. Which also makes a lot of sense.
Have you read the short story by Hector Hugh Munro aka Saki? It's called Tobermory and is well worth a look. A good smile story, possibly even a chuckle story. Saki was superb at short stories and died in the First World War.
Quand j'etais jeune... as my mother used to say from her French class... I used to write stories in school that always had a cat in them. I even used to tell my mother stories about a stuffed toy cat I once had called, for some reason, Susan.
Cats and books have one thing in common - they are fine and civilised... unless you happen to be a mouse or a small bird. Tho' obviously that only works with cats - not books... as far as I know!

Griffin...a brief search (only a few minutes webtime today
)of cat poems on Google...
by Francis Witham
Oh, what unhappy twist of fate
Has brought you homeless to my gate?
The gate where once another stood
To beg for shelter, warmth, and food
For from that day I ceased to be
The master of my destiny.
While he, with purr and velvet paw
Became within my house the law.
He scratched the furniture and shed
And claimed the middle of my bed.
He ruled in arrogance and pride
And broke my heart the day he died.
So if you really think, oh Cat,
I'd willingly relive all that
Because you come forlorn and thin
Well...don't just stand there...Come on in!

Thank you for the cat poem. I have just finished reading it to my little ginger furfriend. She is sitting here purring and pretending that none of the points relate to her.... It is quite bittersweet for me to read as I had a beautiful natured old ginger puss who used to come every night at 930pm for dinner and affection. He was so old and had no teeth left. Really on his last legs. Became quite glossy and lost his thin gaunt look on a diet of whipped eggs and soft cat food.... sadly he died last winter. We think he lived in the Cemetiere de Montmartre which is only a block from our place. Luckily now I have young gingerpuss and black puss who come in every day to cuddle and eat..... or should that be eat and cuddle?
Must agree that all cats speak french.... Doesn't matter where in the world I am, I must (!) stop and talk to and pat any cat I come across. All cats, even wild ones, will stop and let me approach if I talk in french. Don't know what it is, but it works. Maybe it sounds nicer to kitty ears?
My Mum has a cat which she named Paris (she bought it just before we moved here). It is a naughty russian blue with a very definate - and defiant - personality. She goes into ectasy when you talk to her in french. So funny to see.
There is a book which I love which is something about French for Cats. Can't remember the exact title. It is quite cute though.

Hello everybody : thanks for your warm welcome...
well, Griffin, I another one who has too many books .... and a british shorthair ; I'll try to post a photo, though I'm not sure how to do it ;
the Prevert is coming : I've actually found a "real" translation - professional, but I want to try a bit more on my own before reading - and posting it.
as for cats :
"The difference between cats and dogs is that dogs come when called, and cats take the message and get back to you"
"the world belongs to cats, they let us own them just for show"
those quotes are on my fridge
and for the poetry :
"Elle jouait avec sa chatte
Et c'était merveille de voir
La main blanche et la blanche patte
S'ébattre dans l'ombre du soir" Paul Verlaine
(I'm quite sure there's no double meaning....)
Viens ,mon beau chat, sur mon coeur amoureux
Retiens les griffes de ta patte
Et laisse-moi plonger dans tes beaux yeux
Mêlés de métal et d'agates Charles Baudelaire
"Et des parcelles d'or
ainsi qu'un sable fin
étoilent vaguement
leurs prunelles mystiques" same author
actually, I love dogs too....

I have never come across that poem before, but it's a perfect description save for one point, that last line. If the door was open, the cat wouldn't wait to be invited!! He'd be in and asking you to hurry up and feed him!
Our cats always used to 'supervise' my mum when she was gardening! They would settle comfortably to watch, tho' I often wonder if they were amazed at her doing all that hard work when she could have been snoozing instead!
Two of our cats were from cat rescue places, but the first one, Possum adopted us and let us have her to stay. She soon worked out who the softies were in the family and I used to find her asleep in my bedroom, but on a big armchair I'd got. We never knew her as a kitten, she suddenly appeared, long-haired and bright ginger and white beneath the rose bush at the front of the house - asleep one day and working us out. She died of old age tho' so at least for the latter part of her life we knew she was safe and happy.
The other two - well the second was an old codger of another sandy ginger long-haired cat whose old lady had called him Goldilocks! For his dignity, I renamed him Locksley and mum called him Locks! He had one 'fang' left, looked slightly tatty and was as sweet-natured as anything. He loved to fall asleep on a lap, draped over knees and also died of old age. The last one was Manfred who was a natural expert coward - so he and I got on perfectly!
He was dark and white with a black smudged nose and a dark mask that had slipped a bit on one side. Imagine a fluffy Charlie Chaplin playing Zorro... only more cowardly! That was him. He love to sleep on a lap and when I was working in London, I'd come home in the evening to be followed by him until I sat down - at which point, my lap was his! He died in 1997 and I still miss him. He was occasionally terrorised by crows until one day a blackbird fell down our chimney into the fireplace and it dawned on him that he was actually a bold hunter! He went outside afterwards and meowed savagely at the crows. That taught them... when they'd finished laughing!! He used to sleep on the backs of my shins when I was kneeling up against my bed reading.
The other difference between cats and dogs is that you own dogs - but cats are people you live with. Only the cat owns himself. One reason I love them so much.
I've got that Verlaine poem somewhere I'm sure, I shall go and re-read it. The bit of Baudelaire reminds me of a line from La Geante which is translated as 'Like a cat at the feet of a queen.'
I am now officially in love with your cat! Such an academicat too!

Okay, I'm late....I've tried to find time, but it goes so fast....
anyway, I managed to translate about half of the Prévert poem, so I won't give you my translation, but the one I found by William Baker...I was quite close to his version, actually
Morning for sleeping in
It is terrible
the little noise of a hard-boiled egg cracked on a tin counter
it is a terrible noise
when it stirs the memory of a man who is hungry
the head of the man is terrible too
the ehad of a man who is hungry
when he looks at himself at six o'clock in the morning
in the window of a
big store
(it's more like a big grocery shop
it isn't however his head that he looks at
in the display window of Potin's
he doesn't give a goddamn for his head
the man
he doesn't think about it
he dreams
he imagines another head
a head of veal for example with a vinegar sauce
or a head of anything
whatever which can be eaten
(I would say, a head of anything edible)
and he moves his jaw softly
and he grits its teeth softly
because the world makes fun of him
he can't do anything against this world
and he counts on his fingers one two three
one two three
that makes three days without eating
it's been no use
repeating for three days
( either it's no use or it's useless)
this can't last
it lasts
three days
three nights
without eating
and behind these displays windows
these bottles
these jams
(definitely not : its canned food, not preserves)
dead fish protected by cans
cans protected by windows
windows protected by cops
cops protected by fear
so many barricades for six pitiful sardines
a little further
on the café
(either in the cafe or on the counter !)
coffee with cream and
hot rolls
croissants ?)
the man sways
and inside his head
a fog of words
a fog of words
sardines to eat
hard-boiled egg coffee with cream
coffee laced with rum
coffee with cream
coffee with cream
coffee with crime laced with blood!
a man highly esteemed in his neighbourhood
had his throat cut in broad daylight
the killer the bum stole a sum
of two francs
a coffee with rum
(I would say That is,...)
zero francs seventy
two buttered
not rolls either, more like toast)
and twenty-five centimes for the waiter's tip
I've made my comment in blue....

For all the cat lovers...
Femme et chatte " 'est le 1er poème de la section "caprices" des Poèmes saturniens de Verlaine
Elle jouait avec sa chatte,
Et c'était merveille de voir
La main blanche et la blanche patte
S'ébattre dans l'ombre du soir.
Elle cachait - la scélérate ! -
Sous ces mitaines de fil noir
Ses meurtriers ongles d'agate,
Coupants et clairs comme un rasoir.
L'autre aussi faisait la sucrée
Et rentrait sa griffe acérée,
Mais le diable n'y perdait rien...
Et dans le boudoir où, sonore,
Tintait son rire aérien,
Brillaient quatre points de phosphore

Thank you Minty. I love it!
Am really into reading in french at present... as opposed to being a coward and searching out english language books to fill the bookworm in me.
Thank you for the kitties stories Griffin. I really really love cats, and there is nothing better than having a warm contented cat purring in your lap. My adoptees are so glad to see me back from my travels that I keep being woken in the night with the gingerpuss sitting on my chest and smooging all over my face....
That in itself is tolerable.... but the claws being poked into me as she pads in delight are a bit too much
We call it "pussypuncture" and do not really recommend it as a replacement for acupuncture....
I always feel so privileged when a strange kitty wants to be my friend. From the cats view it is probably being blessed with "a gift from the gods"...
Enjoying the poems very much. Have been gradually catching up on all the topics since I was away. This topic is a favourite.

What a great find.
There are a few other shops that will tell you that they are BMW experts and pretty much that they "know everything", but these guys...
Good service, worth the price.
What a great find.
I refer my friends to this very honest and talented shop.
After dealing with many car issues with well-intended local shops and one highly recommended dealer, I made the decision to have my BMW towed 100...
Peter is a great man not only what he does for a living but a great person.
Finally have a reputable shop that is family owned for 39 years who only works on BMW & Mercedes & Mini Cooper's.
The best experience I've ever had at an automotive repair shop.

We ranked albums released between November 2011 and October 2012. In a year without a new release from Sandwich, Parokya ni Edgar or Slapshock, here are among the best records of 2012.
1. Gloc-9, "Mga Kwento Ng Makata"
Pinoy raps fastest blabbermouth sports a serious pose such that no festive music shows up in his best album to date while his gut-level poetry remains populated by besieged characters best encapsulated in sound and lyrics by the heart-rending Sirena.
2. She's Only Sixteen, "She's Only Sixteen EP"
The mini-album resurrects electro-rocks finest hour even as its driven guitars and hard-ass backbeat pay tribute to pop-rock greatest icons from the Beatles to the Arctic Monkeys to The Strokes.
3. Rico Blanco, "Galaktik Fiestamatik"
Blanco extracts a universe of beautiful music by slicing and dicing the yummy parts of 80s new wave with the celebratory stomp of Ati-Atihan.
4. Light of Luna, "Alarm of Acceptance"
Theres enough interplay of subtlety and propulsion in melodic power chords doing their constant danse macabre going over and under hardcore-punk backbeat.
5. Hatankaru, "Hatankaru EP"
The foursome from Karuhatan Valenzuela gives a Pinoy twirl to the funky artistry of Rage Against The Machine delivering a mini-album that shakes your ass and stirs your grey matter as well.
6. Wolfgang, "Ang Bagong Dugo Sa Lumang Ugat: Unang Kabanata"
The first installment of a trilogy on Philippine society finds Basti Artadi and company slicing through the brown body politic using colorful Filipino language and piercing hard rock.
7. Cathy Go, "Find My Way Home"
Fresh-sounding, all-original compositions declare OPM aint dead and its best tracks herald that the best days for this young vibrant talent are still ahead.
8. Noel Cabangon, "Tuloy ang Biyahe"
In tribute to memorable Filipino pop compositions, one of the last Pinoy folkies still standing keeps the faith in the acoustic muse applying grace, skill and passion to songs on love and life.
9. Karl Roy, "Have a Piece of This"
His last hurrah sees the late Karl Roy still exploring the possibilities of his brand of explosive funk-punk hybrid to deliver hyperkinetic rockers as well as kind-hearted ballads.
10. Robin Nievera, Overwait"
Martin Nieveras eldest son, an ex-VJ, expounds on his winning mission to create fresh music by channeling the spirit of John Mayers blues trio into his own vision of guitar heaven.
So there. Theres enough new stuff in our Top Ten round-up to smother all OPM nay sayers. Hats off!

HackerNest Phoenix Tech Socials
Group Description
Now Canada's largest tech meetups, and growing internationally, eh.
RSVP to get a nametag. This is important, because people without nametags aren't even really people. There, we said it. :) Check us out >>> Facebook | Twitter
HackerNest is an international nonprofit community movement focused on building supportive Silicon Valley like tech communities in every city - strengthening local tech ecosystems globally through unpretentious social events and hackathons. We're nurturing cohesive communities today to empower them with more relevant and accessible peer-based tech education tomorrow.
Connecting people is awesome. And community good breeds fab karma.
We cram smart, accomplished people into a room with free beer. Our relaxed, down-to-earth Tech Socials are now Canada's largest tech meetups.
Our membership - diverse and highly technical. Developers, designers, engineers, social media/business folk, entrepreneurs, investors, etc. regularly gather to socialize, talk tech, maybe hear speakers or watch demos, and meet future co-founders, employees, funders, and friends. Strict no-douchebag policy.
Global. We want an international network of HackerNest "splinter cells" to pop up everywhere – from underserved cities to high-growth innovation centers – to rescue nerds from isolated basements, offices, and code tunnel vision.
We love hardcore nerdcore. Tech folks, tech events, tech love. Our formula: laid back atmosphere + free drinks + brilliant people = fireworks
We're not scienticians, but the formula seems to work: we became Canada's largest tech meetups in a year, before even leaving Toronto. Today we have "splinter cells" in multiple cities internationally.
Our goal is to complement and strengthen existing nerd ecosystems – we come in peace. This isn't a business; nobody owns HackerNest. Conceptually, it is the ideal of a strong and supportive tech community - pretty much anyone that isn't a jerk can be a part of it.
Interested in running HackerNest in your city? Take a look at the FAQ.
Whoa, longest descriptions evaaar. Need more? Here's some answers. Don't forget to check us out >>> Facebook | Twitter
Here's more pictures of our Tech Socials and hackathons:
When: Pretty darned regularly. Check back!
Format: Relaxed. Hang, talk tech, occasionally a speaker, plot to take over the world, etc.
Where: Usually in the large private office of a tech company (have a venue?)
At any given HackerNest meetup, you may find people who are:
developing incredibly snazzy Ruby (most likely on Rails) applications - heady hardcore designer typesPHP/Perl/.NET/Python/django addicts - ...Fortran devs?! - looking for a tech/entrepreneur/new business story to cover - Objective-C experts and iPhone/iPad/Apple product pundits - engineers and managers and CTOs looking for co-founders to join their angel/VC-backed tech startup - looking to write articles/stories about the obscure/interesting/hilarious hacks you've pulled off - totally oblivious and just wandered in because they heard there was booze (!?) - building a top-secret app out of their basement that's going to change the way the world does X; like "Facebook for Squirrels" - scrambling to find a partner to work with on a well-paying contract that's just a wee bit too much workload for the anticipated deadline - heroes, because they're part of the burgeoning community that will reverse all this insane brain-drain - incredibly talented, smart, entrepreneurial go-getters who are absolutely dangerous to the status quo - pretty bloody interesting, because seriously, if they're coming out for drinks ON A MONDAY (or Tuesday, or Wednesday) NIGHT... they've gotta be
Chances are, you'll fit right in if you're a(n):
software or hardware hacker/h4ck3r (or maybe just a hack)
coder/developer/programmer/brogrammerdesigner, UX-oriented, or just like making things pretty
biotech/electrical/computer or basically any kind of engineer
network/network/system/IT administrator
front/back-end specialist

tech/entrepreneur-oriented media/journalist
OCD blogger/Tweeter
bloodthirsty recruiter looking to poach developers

etc., etc.
...and aren't a douchebag. <3

'Tis the season for nuc transactions- 1st timers/hobbyists looking to buy and folks in the industry hoping to fill the buyers need while efficiently generating another source of revenue from their bees.
Hobbyist / Newbee Point of View- This is great deal. One can get some established bees on drawn comb with a laying queen for approximately the same price as package bees and since they've got a month's head start on a package, one might even get a honey crop.
While POV above is true, do you really know what you're getting when buying a nuc? There are more variables to take into consideration when buying nucs than buying package bees.
Here's a few, maybe others will have more things to look for.
We'll start with the obvious-
1. Bees- How many? Some ads clearly state how many frames of brood, honey, pollen, drawn empty comb, undrawn comb, etc. will make up the nuc. Other ads simply reference the number of frames, i.e., 5 frame nucs.
2. # of Frames- 5 frame deeps are probably the most common but there are also 4 framers and medium frame nucs.
3. Frame exchange or not?- Some sellers want to trade frames, i.e., your new frames/foundation for their drawn drawn frames in the nucs. Other sellers simply offer the nuc including the frames.
4. Frame Transfer- If the buyer must travel a distance to pick up the nucs, he/she had better plan on either buying the nuc box, transferring into their equipment at the pick-up location, or having prearranged for the seller to have placed them in cardboard nucs.
Now, the not so obvious-
1. Bees- Where are they coming from? Splits straight out of almonds or other pollination? How long have they been together, i.e., functioning as an individual colony. Ideally, about 3-6 weeks to allow for the queen to have built the population up with young bees and the colony to have proven itself. In my mind any less time than that isn't much less risk than package bees with a recently mated, unproven queen.
Who knows, there may even be some sellers out there selling their old queens with the nuc as a way to recoup some of their initial investment in the queen. Probably, O.K. as long as it's disclosed to the buyer. How can you really tell?
2. Queens- Where did she originate? Where was she mated? Is there a chance she could have been mated to africanized stock, was she imported from Hawaii, grafted from a pure breeder queen? What breed is she, e.g., Minnesota Hygienic? Is she really MH or did the keeper purchase some MH stock years ago and now claim all stock is MH and just place some open brood in a nuc and let them raise their own queen of unverified breed.
2. Condition of frames and comb- This one's a biggy... There are many keepers out there realizing the benefits of keeping newer comb in the brood nest, what with all the hype about chemical retention, nosema and other contaminations. Also, after many rounds of brood, the cells eventually become shallower and smaller, to the point of not being attractive to the bees for brood production or anything else for that matter.
To the enterprising seller, it would seem much easier to stomach recouping some salvage value from their old frames and comb by selling them in nucs, rather than destroying them. For the buyer, taking a quick look at a frame will tell you its condition. Black comb with shallow cells is a give away that it's been around a long time. Again, as long as it's disclosed to the buyer there shouldn't be a problem.
3. What other creatures are lurking in the boxes?- If coming from areas with small hive beetles, africanized bees and who knows what else, all of the above are certainly an option. Although probably not an option that one would select.
In my mind, all of the above potential detriments are o.k. as long as they are fully disclosed. Ultimately, what does all of this lead to if everyone is honest? Probably, valuing the nuc based on its make-up.
Something like-
$50- Old comb (black, 5 frames drawn both sides), questionable queen, recently made up. Minimum 2 frames open brood.
$70- Decent mid aged comb (is there such a thing? 5 frames, drawn both sides), new queen, 3 weeks since make-up, 4 frames drawn comb covered both sides w/ bees. Minimum 2 frames sealed brood.
$85- New comb (1 yr old or less, 5 frames, drawn both sides), new queen of verifiable breed (4-5 weeks since make-up, 5 frames covered both sides with bees. Minimum 3 frames of brood, 2 sealed 1 open.
$110- New comb (1 yr old or less, 5 frames, drawn both sides), new queen of verifiable breed, mated where there's no chance of ahb drones, 5-6 weeks since make-up. Stuffed with bees, nearly ready to swarm.
$????- Overwintered nucs- probably the same categories as above?
Other considerations- small cell, chemical free, originated from non-shb area, other?
Lastly, all of the above are based on some casual observations from having purchased nucs and sold nucs. It is intended to educate buyers and foster discussion.
Prices are given to demonstrate differences in value based on nuc make-up and not intended to suggest what actual pricing should be. Obvisouly, location, demand, overhead, profit margins, etc. will determine actual price.

Chris Boyd becomes fifth Vanderbilt football player indicted in rape case
NASHVILLE, Tenn. A fifth Vanderbilt football player has been indicted for his alleged role in the rape of an unconscious student on campus.
Metro Nashville Police say 21-year-old Chris Boyd came to police headquarters Saturday morning after being indicted on Friday and turned himself in. Police say Boyd gave another defendant advice on how to cover up the crime.
Vanderbilt released a statement Friday saying he had been suspended from the team pending further review. Four other players already have been dismissed.
Police say Boyd's representatives are aware of the indictment and he is expected to turn himself in. His bond is set at $25,000.
Boyd caught 50 passes for 774 yards and five touchdowns last season.
"All of these allegations, including those brought today, are deeply troubling, and we take them very seriously," Vice Chancellor for Public Affairs Beth Fortune said in a statement. The statement notes that none of the former players have been found guilty. It also says that Vanderbilt continues to cooperate closely with the district attorney's office and the police.
Two California men also were indicted Friday. Nineteen-year-old Miles Finley and 20-year-old Joseph Quinzio are charged with felony tampering with evidence.
Police say Finley was arrested by the Riverside County Sheriff's Department while officers continue to search for Quinzio. Both men have been given a $150,000 bond and will be held as fugitives wanted by the state of Tennessee.
The two men are acquaintances of defendant Brandon Vandenburg, a 20-year-old former Vanderbilt player from Indio, Calif.
Vandenburg remains jailed on $350,000 bond, while three other former players have bonded out: 19-year-old Cory Batey, of Nashville, bonded out Friday; Brandon Banks, of Brandywine, Md., and Jaborian McKenzie, of Woodville, Miss., both 19, bonded out previously.
The four players were dismissed from the team on June 29 and face rape charges. Their arraignment is set for Aug. 21, although McKenzie already has pleaded not guilty and waived his right to appear at the arraignment.

Dog Passes Out Because It's So Happy to See Its Owner
We've all seen dogs go nuts when they see their owners, but this pooch's reaction may be the best we've ever witnessed.
This dog was so fired up it actually passed out. It turns out the dog was seeing the woman in the video for the first time in two years, which clearly explains its enthusiasm.
The pooch passes out around the 20-second mark and it's only for a brief spell before it recovers.
The dog was taken to a vet who said everything checked out fine.

Artist's Description
This is my highly detailed large painting of Santa Monica Bay in Southern California -- a clear November day with wind in the trees. In the background is a life guard stand, the Santa Monica Pier and the Santa Monica mountains. Here I have hidden my face in the smaller trees on the right -- something I often to. This Art would fit many home decors and make a great gift!
About Jerome Stumphauzer
I am a self-taught artist and have been painting in oils for many years. At the same time my photography has developed following the same principles of composition and color. Much of my work has a "save the environment" theme and my inspiration comes from nature and visions of light and color. My interest in art began in the 5th grade with a remarkable teacher who, along with all the other subjects, made time for art and music every day. I am influenced by a diverse group of artists who have come before me -- from da Vinci and Dali to Monet and Lassen. This website has helped me reach an audience all over the world. I always have several projects going, and can't wait to start the next one! I hope you enjoy my art and can find a...

App Review:Cannon Fighter by HYoungJong YU
August 17, 2010 by Dustin
Filed under Games, General, iPhone, iPod Touch
Like classic games? This is a basic game where you play as a tank and shoot down different types of planes. This is a very simple game, but it does it very challenging in the higher levels. The game has very good sound effects and good menu and screen effects, and regular updates to fix problems.This game is good if you are board and really need something to play,but not an everyday game. The game offers different types of weapons from machine guns to laser beams and missiles. You can buy upgrades for your tank from HP, speed, and even weapon effects.
My rating: 3/10
What I did like: Different type of weapons and good sound effects.
What I didn't like: The game is WAY to over priced for what it is.
Overall: This is a fun app if it would be FREE.

What's a patch-day raid without server instability?
The night started off seemingly normal. Dalaran lag afflicted a few, but nothing out of the ordinary. We were hopeful for a smooth patch. No one spoke of it, of course. Never jinx your raid. Alas, our precaution didn't save us.
Mid-fight with Deathwhisper, the entire raid locks up and DCs. Some log in and find themselves in Dalaran. Others log in and find themselves at the front of the instance. All of Deathwhisper's trash has repopped. "...more rep, yay?" I say tentatively.
We were hopeful that was a single incident, rather than a harbinger of more to come. We clear through the lower citadel and gun straight for Valithria's chamber. The trash filling the hall is easy--too easy, I think, and I grit my teeth on each pull just waiting for a huge spike of damage to surprise the tanks. The spike never comes, and we relax some, staring forth at Valithria and talking tactics.
In a few pulls, we rescue Valithria (we used a 2-tank, 3-healer strat with one raid healer and 2 dragon healers, each trading every two portal spawns). Grateful, Valithria ports out to her freedom, leaving us to continue on our way. We descend the elevator shaft, reminiscing on Serpentshrine Caverns, and gather warily at the entrance to a vast room. Looking up, one of our raiders warns us not to move in until we're all ready: they have spotted the ambush of undead spiders clinging to the ceiling.
Once together, we run in and fight the wave of descending spider-guys.
We rejoice in defeating the swarm of spiders and comment how easy it was.
And then we go to the gate.
And then we look around for a lever to maybe open the gate.
And then we check out the side nooks, thinking they might lead somewhere.
And then we circle the whole room for a while.
And then we explore up to Valithria's room to see if we missed something there.
And then I pop onto Stratfu's IRC chat and ask if we're nubs that missed something on how to get to Sindragosa.
Apparently, according to those in the chat, the room *was* supposed to be a multiple-wave event, and the next wave just never spawned for us. ......
Okay fine, we'll leave her to try the wave thing again tomorrow after a soft reset, and we'll go poke some of the other bosses tonight.
We clear the insane trash into the blood wing (I tend to cyclone the spare mobs here, keeps my tanks safer), and we start up combat with the princes. The tanks and healers line up together, the dps spreading out among us, all facing the 3 prone princes in their columns of red light. Lana'thel orders them to rise, while she herself ports away. We wait.
And wait.
And wait.
And Scythe-bear runs up and starts t-bagging Keleseth, joined shortly by the rest of the raid.
At the same time, from the IRC chat, I hear reports of bosses despawning, some RESPAWNING (they got the same loot when they killed him again), and others just never initiating combat. And all reports seem to be coming from servers within the Stormstrike battlegroup.
Fun times.
We decided to at least go kill Festergut, if possible--luckily, he proved stable for us, and didn't give us any trouble. We killed Precious for a chance at her ribbon-shirt and called it an early night.
On an unrelated note,

Fun Times in Patch Day ICC

After a number of years playing this game, there is a GOOD reason why I actively avoid raiding on Tuesdays, or joining guilds that raid on Tuesdays. ;)

We've looked repeatedly at available schedules in the guild, and the most-available day is actually Tuesdays. Crazy, ne?
We take it with a grin, though. Since we only raid 10s, 3 days is more than enough time for the content :) Just want to avoid messing with limited attempt timers on a patch day.

Ben Crampton, a British diplomat, has lived and worked in the Balkans for many years.
"I grew up surrounded by information about, and discussions of, the Balkans. I was always fascinated by the books on my father's shelves whose titles I couldn't read because they were in Cyrillic. My father (Richard Crampton) is a historian working on the Balkans and we lived in Bulgaria when I was a baby. It was to the Balkans that I turned shortly after I left school, spending nine months in Sofia in 1991. My love affair with the Balkans began there and continues today; my wife is Montenegrin."
After working as a Balkans research analyst at the British Foreign Office, Ben went to Macedonia as an adviser to the EU Special Representative for the implementation of the 2001 Ohrid Peace Agreement. Ben notes the limited and focused mandate of the international mission in Macedonia:
"The real success of the international involvement there was that the responsibility for implementing the peace deal lay firmly with the local political and governmental leaders of all parties and all ethnicities. This is in contrast to Bosnia, where it is the international community itself that has taken the principal role in delivering Dayton. Ohrid Agreement implementation proves that with the right incentive – Euro-Atlantic integration – a peace deal is deliverable by the parties to it. That for me is a sign of hope – also for Kosovo and for the Balkans. It is also a sign of the singular power of European integration as a means of delivering lasting change in the Balkans, as it has elsewhere in Central and Eastern Europe."
Crampton came to Pristina in 2004 as special advisor to the former head of UNMIK, Soeren Jessen-Pedersen. In 2007, when the film was being made, Ben was deputy head of the European Union planning team in Pristina – working on the Ahtisaari Plan and preparing the ground for the international mission to follow the declaration of independence.
"My biggest sense of achievement was in working on the Ahtisaari process. His proposal contains a wealth of proposals which would guarantee the continuation and development of the Serb way of life in Kosovo with a very high degree of administrative and social autonomy. I'm particularly proud of using the example of the Anglo-Irish 1922 agreement to argue for the inclusion of specific clauses [in the Ahtisaari Plan] guaranteeing voting rights to Serbs in Kosovo regardless of whether or not they chose to take Kosovo citizenship."
Ben views UNMIK as a success one can now build on:
"Despite the mood swing against UNMIK in the past years, what the mission achieved in its time is remarkable – a functioning administration and parliament, an effective and ethnically-balanced police force, a series of free and fair elections, the resolution of large numbers of property disputes, and the beginnings of privatisation. On the other hand, it's fair to ask whether the mission needed to be as big as it was, and whether it was helpful for the SRSG to retain his full powers – to remain "top dog" – until the end. […] In Kosovo the new international presence's powers are much reduced from those of the SRSG and less extensive than in Bosnia, and this should allow politics to develop more "normally" in Kosovo in the future. But there has to come a time when they're removed entirely, and I do hope that we're not still waiting for that moment 12 years after the end of the war in Kosovo (in 2011), as we are in Bosnia (in 2008)."
However, within international organizations in Kosovo there remains a problematic gap between "locals" and "internationals":
"This is a problem. Many of the answers are bureaucratic and lie within international institutions. If there isn't even a possibility of local staff having hierarchically superior positions to international staff – no matter how well educated and experienced the former may be, and how callow the latter – then there is no way that you will have the proper respect being shown to local staff within international organisations. And if "locals" aren't fully respected inside organisations, then they won't be fully respected outside."
Ben left Kosovo shortly before independence, but continues to work on Kosovo in the EU Council.
Concerning Pristina, he is concerned about the future:
"There is an element of veneer about Pristina. Much of the apparent wealth of Pristina is based on the international community. It is more apparent than real, if you take away the international community and the money that [it]provides, then the economy of Pristina would look quite different."
Despite many obvious problems, there has been progress. One source of optimism, as Ben sees it, is the transformative power of a future enlargement process:
"The lifestyle is different here; you do feel the effects of not only the war, but of underdevelopment as well. Electricity is sometimes a problem, water is a problem. Having said that, it does not feel very much like a post-conflict environment. You see damage in the countryside when you are driving along. But is there a brighter future, absolutely – a brighter future will come through economic development; it will come through European enlargement in due course. This has worked throughout Central and Eastern Europe, this has worked throughout the Balkans, and it will work in Kosovo as well."
Asked what else he learned in the Balkans, Ben smiles: "A Shopska salad and rakija are the best starter to any meal anywhere in the world. And there is joy to be had in eating seasonal fruit and vegetables fresh from the market – except in February and March."

text: When a 5x zoom isn't enough and a 10x zoom is too much (either in size or price), there are the likes of the 7x zoom Nikon Coolpix S6000. Combined with its 28mm-equivalent wide-angle starting point, you get an extra bit of flexibility in a pocketable body that does make a difference, especially when there's just no physical way to get closer. Add in this camera's relatively speedy shooting performance and you have a decent, well-priced compact camera for shooting from the sidelines. It's still a compact point-and-shoot, though, so despite its high resolution and Nikkor ED glass lens, the photos are best enjoyed at smaller sizes as prints or for online sharing with little to no cropping or enlarging.
