I don't know about you, but my nightstand is pretty crowded. There are books and magazines and lotions and a clock and remotes and, and, and! This handy bed caddy allows me to keep my most-used items right at my fingertips, and the top of my nightstand stays tidy. The pockets all have the perfect expandable gusset: big enough to easily slide stuff in and out, but not so big that things topple out.
We used two coordinating Amy Butler fabrics in a decorator weight: a solid in Leaf and Garden Knot in Olive from her August Fields collection. You really need the extra heft in the fabric for both strength and stability.
Sewing Tools You Need
- Any Sewing Machine (we recommend the Janome Memory Craft 5200)
Fabric and Other Supplies
- Fabric for base: ¾ yard of 54" decorator weight fabric: we used Amy Butler's Decorator Solids in Leaf
NOTE: if you don't choose a solid, you will likely need a full yard to account for directional patterns
- Fabric for binding and pockets: ½ yard of 54" decorator weight fabric: we used Amy Butler's August Fields in Garden Knot Olive
- Gripper fabric: one piece apx 20" x 4"
NOTE: this is like the traction fabric used on the bottom of feetie pajamas - it can be found in stores and online under the names Slipper Gripper and Jiffy Grip
- All purpose thread
- See-through ruler
- Fabric pencil
- Iron and ironing board
- Scissors or rotary cutter and mat
- Straight pins
Getting Started
Some important notes on sizing
Our pocket sizes were determined based on the things we wanted to store; you'll have different stuff, and you can change the pocket sizes to get the best fit. Remember, the pockets can go horizontally or vertically. Do whatever works best in your space. We needed the following items handy: a Logitech Harmony One remote, an iPhone 3GS, a Sonos Controller 200, and an issue of Martha Stewart Living.
Also, bed frames and mattress depths vary considerably. So before you decide our measurements are going to be perfect for your bed and your arm, we recommend grabbing your cloth tape measure, a note pad and a pencil, and heading on over to your bed. Lift up the mattress and insert the end of the tape measure about 18" (make sure you insert the 1" end). Drop the mattress and let the other end of the tape measure fall to the floor. Climb in bed, but do not go to sleep! Instead, drop your arm over the side of the bed and gauge a comfortable reach for the pockets. Grab the tape measure at the points you think are good for the pockets, note these measurements on your pad of paper. Finally, get out of bed (I know .... bummer!) and pick the bottom point. This should be an inch or so from the floor. If you have a dust ruffle, you could make the bottom of the caddy flush with the that.
Okay ... now you can start
- Lay out base (solid) fabric and measure, draw and cut a rectangle 20" wide x 34" high.
- All the pockets have side gussets for expansion and an inside lining for stability. The lining fabric folds over the top to mimic binding. This means 3½" must be added to the finished width and ¼" to the finished height for the outside or printed fabric. And, 3½" must be added to the finished width and 1¼" to the finished height for the inside or solid fabric.
- For our sample, we chose three small pockets and one large pocket.
Pocket 1: Finished size needed to be 3" wide x 4" high. From the printed fabric we cut a rectangle 6½" wide and 4¼" high. And from the solid fabric we cut a rectangle if 6½" wide and 5¼" high.
Pocket 2: Finished size needed to be 2½" wide x 4" high. From the printed fabric we cut a rectangle 6" wide and 4¼" high. And from the solid fabric we cut a rectangle if 6" wide and 5¼" high.
Pocket 3: Finished size needed to be 6½" wide x 4½" high. From the printed fabric we cut a rectangle 10" wide and 4¾" high. And from the solid fabric we cut a rectangle if 10" wide and 5¾" high.
Pocket 4: Finished size needed to be 9½" wide x 10" high. From the printed fabric we cut a rectangle 13" wide and 10¼" high. And from the solid fabric we cut a rectangle if 13" wide and 11¼" high.
- For the edge binding, cut two strips of the printed fabric 2" wide x 22" long and two strips of printed fabric 2" wide x 34" long.
NOTE: You'll need to cut these pieces across the width of your 54" decorator fabric.
- Cut a strip of gripper fabric 20" wide x 4" high. Finish the raw edges with pinking shears or a pinking rotary cutter. You could also serge the edge or fold under ¼" and edge stitch. This gripper fabric will help make your caddy extra resistant to slipping.
At Your Sewing Machine & Ironing Board
Constructing the base
- Place the 20" x 4" gripper fabric against the back side of the base fabric, positioning it 4" from top edge and edge-to-edge across the width. Pin.
- Edgestitch in place.
- If gripper fabric does not slide freely under your machine's presser foot, place a sheet of wax paper over the gripper fabric and stitch on top of the wax paper. The wax paper tears away from the stitching easily when finished.
- Take your four pieces of binding fabric and create a double fold binding tape. Iron each strip in half, right sides facing out, then open and fold each edge to the middle. Press both new folds, then fold in half again and press. This will create two strips of binding tape ½" x 22" and two strips ½" x 34". If you are new to creating binding, read our Bias Binding tutorial.
- First, sew the binding on each side of the base fabric.
- Then sew the binding to the top and bottom edges, overlapping the side bindings at each corner with a folded, finished edge. Again, for step-by-step help attaching binding, see our tutorial, Bias Tape: How To Make It & Attach It.
- Set your completed base piece aside.
Constructing the pockets
- Lay out all your printed and solid pocket pairs with right sides together. Line up the bottom edges of the solid and printed fabrics. The top edge of the solid fabric should extend 1" above the top edge of the printed fabric.
- For EACH pair: pin together, and using with ¼" seam allowance, stitch the two sides and the bottom edge. Leave the top edge open.
- Trim the bottom corners diagonally ( to make a cleaner point), turn all the pockets right side out and press.
- Take one pocket. Fold down the solid fabric top edge ½" and press. Fold it down another ½" to cover the top raw edge of the printed fabric. Press.
- Stitch along the edge of this folded 'faux binding' with a straight or zig-zag stitch. We chose a zig zag stitch.
- Repeat with remaining three pockets.
- To form the side gussets, fold each side of the pocket back 1½" and press to create a firm fold.
- Edgestitch along the fold and then stitch again 1/8" from the first edgestitching to create double stitching lines. Do this along both folds.
- Fan fold the side flap back towards the side edge. Press firmly. Fan fold the other side flap. Press.
- Repeat for each pocket. Set all the pockets aside.
- Lay out your base fabric piece and use your fabric pencil to draw guides for your pocket placement. If you're duplicating our design: measure 1½" in from each side edge and draw a 15" vertical line along each side. Then, measure 3" in from the bottom edge and draw a horizontal line straight across.
- Using your drawn lines as guides, square up the largest pocket first (in our sample, the #4 pocket). Line up the right hand side of the pocket with the right vertical line and the bottom of the pocket with the bottom horizontal line.
- Pin the pleated edge to the base fabric along both sides.
- Edgestitch each side of the pocket to the fabric base, then stitch again about 1/8" from the first edgestitching line. Leave the bottom edge open. Remove from the machine.
- Fold the gussets out to their final position and pin the the bottom edge of the pocket to the base fabric. Stitch the bottom closed by edge stitching through all layers, then stitch again about 1/8" from the first edgestitching line. Start and stop these seams at the corners to best match the vertical stitching lines of the gusset's fold.
- Lay pocket #3 on the base fabric, lining up the bottom and left side edge with your drawn lines on the left side and bottom. Pin and stitch as indicated above in steps 13-15.
- Lay pocket #1 on the base fabric about 1½" above pocket #3 and lined up with the left side vertical drawn line. Pin and stitch as indicated above in steps 13-15.
- Lay pocket #2 on the base fabric about 1½" above pocket #3 and ½" to the right of pocket #1. Pin and stitch as indicated above in steps 13-15.
- Slide your caddy between the mattress and box springs. Adjust so the pockets fall within arm's reach.
Hints and Tips
What are all those double stitching lines for?
These pockets need to hold some heavy things, and the gussets need to flex in and out repeatedly. The double lines of stitching keep the seams nice and secure. Double lines for double strength!
Stitching through the layers
When you're sewing the pockets to the base fabric, and you get to the corners, you will be stitching through a lot of layers!
Go slowly and carefully. Rather than using the foot pedal, sometimes it helps to use your machine's handwheel to crank through the last half to quarter inch, and go stitch-by-stitch.
This is also the time to use your lock stitch button if you have one. If you don't, hit reverse and use the handwheel again to back tack a few stitches.

The Pioneering Solution.
Seems like we all have to work harder and harder every year. And those hills don't seem to be getting any flatter, or the trails any smoother. But one thing is getting better and better: Honda's line of Pioneer side-by-sides, especially our top-of-the-line Pioneer 1000 family. What sets them apart? Smart technology. Superior materials. Refined engineering. And something nobody else can match: Honda's well-earned and world-famous reputation for reliability and overall quality. And the farther you go or the harder you work, the more that means.
The 2019 Honda Pioneer 1000 lineup is a perfect example. These great side-by-sides got it right the first time in terms of comfort, handling, hauling, and user-friendly features (and, check out the new colors this year). Available in both three- and five-seat versions, in addition to their innovative features, from our flagship Pioneer 1000-5 Limited Edition right through our line to the Pioneer 1000, you can count on a Honda, year after year, mile after mile, adventure after adventure.
Works Hard. Plays Hard. Rides Smooth.
Honda's Pioneer 1000 Limited Edition and Pioneer 1000-5 Limited Edition aren't just the top of our Pioneer line, we think they're the top of any side-by-side lineup. Loaded with innovative features and premium upgraded components, it also offers superior comfort and protection. Available in both three-and five-seat versions, the Limited Editions set the bar high, then vault over it.
And here's an overview of the rest of the lineup. The Pioneer 1000 and Pioneer 1000 EPS offer the same chassis and engine as our Pioneer 1000-5 models, but with a three-place front bench seat and a conventional tilt bed. Available in three trim levels, when you're looking for a side-by-side you'll be driving for years to come, Honda's Pioneer 1000s are what you want.
- Powerful 999cc Twin-Cylinder Engine: When you know the power you need is always at the ready, every drive is an enjoyable experience. And that's precisely what you get out of the class-leading 999cc liquid-cooled inline twin. Using the same Unicam® cylinder head design found in our motocross bikes, it's more compact in size, and it still delivers the kind of horsepower and torque you'd expect from a flagship model.
- Fully-Automatic Six-Speed DCT Transmission: Drive the way you want, with the industry's first and only 6-speed Dual Clutch Transmission. Choose between manual mode or fully automatic. Plus, the addition of Sport Mode increases the fun, shifting at higher RPMs for a spirited, full-performance driving experience.
- High/Low Subtransmission: With a full 42-percent gear reduction between High and Low, you get the torque you need in all 6 gears. It comes in handy when driving over difficult terrain, scaling steep hills or towing heavy loads.
- Built in the U.S.A.: The Pioneer 1000 is purpose-built for the American market, right in America. Domestically and globally sourced parts are all assembled at our plant in Timmonsville, South Carolina, and once these side-by-sides roll off the line, they're ready to explore every corner of the country.
- 2000-Pound Towing Capacity: Call it 2000 pounds, or call it 1 ton. Either way, the towing capacity of the Pioneer 1000 is unsurpassed by any competitor. So instead of hopping on the tractor or taking out the truck, you can stay right in your side-by-side and tackle those bigger jobs with relative ease.
- Hill Start Assist: Need to stop on a steep uphill? Honda's Hill Start Assist automatically holds the Pioneer 1000 Limited Edition in position while you move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator—there's no roll-back drama.
- I-4WD: The Pioneer 1000 Limited Edition showcases our exclusive I-4WD system. Think "I" for "Intelligent," because that's exactly what it is. An industry-first brake-traction control system for side-by-sides, it simplifies operation, increases drivability and optimizes traction. Using proven, advanced technology from Honda's automotive division, you get the benefits associated with a locked front differential with none of the downsides. That means it maintains front-wheel traction even if one wheel wants to spin on ice or mud or if it's in a hole. But at the same time, you get the lighter steering, better tracking at high speeds, tighter turning radius, and reduced kickback associated with unlocked front differentials.
- Chassis and Suspension: Prepare to go further than ever before. Our refined chassis enables you to tackle terrain others would shy away from, with larger tires, long-travel independent front and rear suspension and huge ground clearance. The rubber mounted engine and exhaust system insulates against excessive vibration, and on the 1000-5 model, self-leveling rear suspension compensates for changing loads. Plus, the Pioneer 1000 Limited Edition gets premium, quick-adjust FOX QS-3 shocks on all four corners.
- Paddle Shifting: Steering column-mounted paddle shifters add a serious dose of performance in every drive. In Manual mode, they let you shift without ever taking your hands off the wheel, and in Automatic mode, they let you override the current gear with a quick up or downshift, holding that gear for several seconds before returning to Automatic mode.
- Independent Front and Rear Suspension: Dual A-arm suspension gives you 10.5 inches of travel in the front, and 10-inches of travel in the rear. Pair that with stellar ground clearance, and you maximize available traction and superior comfort maneuvering over terrain other side-by-sides would shy away from.
- Turf/2WD/4WD/Diff Lock: Don't tear up sensitive surfaces. Select Turf Mode. Want to access as much traction as possible? Put it in 4WD. Need maximum power at all four wheels? Lock the front and rear differentials. And the best part is, you can do it all with a shift of a single lever.
- Electric Power Steering: Our Electric Power Steering system helps eliminate bump steer through rocky and rutted terrain, which reduces fatigue. What makes it even better is the added assist you get when you need it most, like when you're in 4WD, driving at lower speeds, or maneuvering over rough conditions. Available on Pioneer 1000-5, Pioneer 1000 EPS, and Pioneer 1000 Limited Edition models.
- Bigger Tires: Practically speaking, the 27-inch tires on 12-inch rims help increase ground clearance, improve ride comfort, and deliver better traction. Realistically speaking, they just look great. And on the DLX model, you get Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 tires with radial construction and premium style.
- Advanced Transmission Logic: The brain of the DCT, Advanced Transmission Logic, senses how you drive and adapts. Relaxed drivers get earlier shifts for a quieter ride at lower engine speeds. Sportier drivers will hold each gear longer for higher RPM shifts. And when going downhill, you get true engine braking. Now that's a smart transmission.
- Electronic Brakeforce Distribution: Heading down a hill? Is the bed loaded or empty? Honda's Electronic Brakeforce Distribution automatically proportions the force to the front and rear brakes with changing conditions—all you do is press the brake pedal. (Standard on all Pioneer 1000 Limited Edition models.)
- QuickFlip® Seating: Want to bring an extra one or two passengers along for the ride? Two QuickFlip® seats pop up from the cargo bed on Pioneer 1000-5, giving you the extra seating you need, when you need it. Exclusive to Honda, it's a smarter system than fixed seat, multi-row models, giving you better maneuverability on the trails.
- Engine Air Intake: To get the most out of your engine, you need the best air going into it. That's why we positioned the air intake up high under the hood. It helps ensure a clean air supply, even at deeper fording depths, and with a new viscous air filter element, you get increased performance and longer service intervals.
- 1000-Pound-Capacity Tilt Bed: There are a ton of reasons to buy a Pioneer 1000. Among them: the half-ton hauling capacity*. No side-by-side can haul more, and when it comes to dumping, we've made it easier than ever, with a hydraulic assist tilt bed lever that can be accessed from outside the vehicle, or right from the driver's seat. (*600 pound bed capacity for CA models)
- Color-Match Door and Bedside Panels: Want to change the color of your Pioneer when hunting season rolls around? No problem. Our door and bedside panels can be easily swapped out for a different color scheme if and when you need it. This feature comes in particularly handy in case a panel sustains any damage on the job or trail. (Available on Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe and Pioneer 1000 EPS model.)
- 3-Person Contoured Bench Seat: Tough, durable and built to enhance every driving experience — yes, we're talking about the seat. Contoured for three passengers, the center seat is positioned up and forward to maximize space and comfort, and the covering is designed to resist both the elements and heavy use.
- LCD Display: The multi-function LCD dash display is large enough to host loads of information, in an easy-to-read way, like speed and fuel level. RPM and transmission mode. Fuel gauge, water temperature, trip information and more. It even includes a clock, so you'll always know when it's time for some fun.
- Tilt Wheel: With a tilt steering wheel, you're ensured an even more comfortable driving experience. We've given the wheel a wide range of adjustments for optimum customization, and it even moves very far forward to allow for easy entry and exit. (Available on Pioneer 1000-5's and Pioneer 1000 EPS model.)
- Sophisticated Chassis: Some of the most impressive Pioneer 1000 features are those you'll never see. In addition to the suspension and ground clearance, we rubber-mounted the engine and exhaust system to insulate the cabin against excessive vibration. So while you may not see this feature, it's one you will definitely notice.
- Self-Load Leveling Rear Suspension: Even when you push your Pioneer 1000-5 to the limits, you compromise nothing. Just take the load-leveling suspension with cargo, passengers or both piled into the back — the rear suspension automatically adjusts to the weight change. So you maintain ground clearance, comfort and handling, without compromises.
- Four-Wheel Disc Brakes: The Pioneer's uncompromising power helps take you further than ever before. The reliable disc brakes help you stop on a dime. Built to the same standard as you'd find in our autos, the four-wheel disc brakes minimize debris from building up, ensuring consistent performance, and giving you confidence on the trail.
- Driver/Passenger Protection: The Occupant Protection Structure uses large-diameter tubing, and meets OSHA's rollover protection standard. The hard doors and roll-up side nets help keep debris from entering the cabin, and auto-style three-point seatbelts are equipped with an emergency locking retractor mechanism, to help optimize passenger security. When you put this much safety first, fun is sure to follow.

My art is a reflection of the tensions that exist between man and the natural environment. It addresses the havoc that mankind has made in the natural world and the devastation that the natural world has wreaked upon the world. I search for ways to create harmony and reconciliation of this situation both in the media and the content. Stone and wood speak for the physical world while rusted steel addresses human abuse of the environment. Through my work these conditions come together in a conversation of peace and spiritual quiet. In today's world so many of us cry out for such a healing.

San Juan County approved involvement in a development board that will work to build a railline spanning seven Utah counties. The decision was made at the June 23 County Commission meeting.
The $2 billion project would begin in Uintah County and meet existing rail lines along I-70 in Emery or Grand counties. The line would likely come down the Book Cliff mesas via Hay Canyon. The railroad could also extend into San Juan County.
The development board would apply for a government loan that would allow the counties to build the railroad, with an estimated $100 million needed to apply for the loan.
Commissioner Bruce Adams reported that the $100 million needed might be available through Utah's Community Impact Board (CIB), as either a loan or possibly even a grant.
The board is anxious to get each counties approval to move forward and apply for a loan.
Commissioner Phil Lyman said "I like the idea of those seven counties working together to build infrastructure"
Adams said of the project "Rail brings with it an energized economy."
When the rail lines are used, the county where the product is produced and shipped would receive 70 percent of the usage fee, while the other 30 percent would be split among the other six counties.
Adams reports that some believe this could eliminate property taxes in the seven counties.
In other matters at the June 23 commission meeting, local residents Jared Barrett and Robert McPherson presented progress through a $10,000 project that received $5,000 from the commission and $5,000 from the tourism board.
The project features a series of five regional books, as well as a smart phone app intended to bring more tourists to San Juan County. There is also an app available for download on the iTunes store and will be available for Android soon.
The first book, entitled Thru Navajo Eyes, highlights San Juan County from Bluff to Monument Valley. The book is available at local businesses and on Amazon, and should be available to download soon.
The 2014 tax rate was adopted with very little discussion. The county adopted the same rate as 2013, turning down a very small growth rate.
Additionally, building permits were approved for an addition to a home near Wilson Arch, for a shed and a grainary in the La Sal area, and for a building in Spanish Valley.

Taking cancer personally
Although we often talk about "cancer" in the sense of a single disease, it is actually is a group of more than 100 related but separate diseases. Cancer can be specific to a gender and to a location in the body. Some types of cancer are common. Others are rare. And each type of cancer has multiple stages.
There are many forms of cancer. But there is only one You. That's why we take a highly personalized approach to cancer care. You can see it in everything from the leading-edge technology that helps make each cancer diagnosis as accurate as possible to the individualized treatment plan that factors in a range of medical, psychological, emotional and personal considerations. Carried out by our experienced and skilled team of cancer specialists, every treatment plan is directed to a unique person, you, and not to a disease.
As a result, we don't just treat cancer at Riverside Cancer Care. We treat the cancer that might be affecting you and your family. For a closer look at what treating cancer personally means, read the inspiring patient stories of people in our community who have been diagnosed with cancer and how it changed their lives, often for the better.
Good care begins with good information
If you're being treated for cancer, the more you know about the total experience in general and your diagnosis and treatment in particular, the more you'll be able to be an active part of your cancer care team.
Find out more about our full range of services including the Patient Navigator Program and its emphasis on one-to-one assistance. Patient Navigators, individuals with the experience and training to focus on the major types of cancer, provide a guide for virtually every aspect of care, including nonmedical details, from screenings and diagnosis to treatment and follow up.
You can also get more information on the Riverside Cancer Care Center, a distinctive outpatient facility on the campus of Riverside Regional Medical Center.

The last few weeks have been challenging for all in Estes Park and the surrounding areas. The Art Center of Estes Park has been fortunate through it all, sustaining only damage to the telephone lines. The center however have to cancel its featured artists' reception in September. The reception for "Designs in Nature" featuring oil paintings by Bill Fritz and jewelry by Alice League has been rescheduled for Friday, Oct. 11, from 5 to 7 p.m. The show will run through Nov. 10, 2013. Also featured in the sun room is the art work of clients of the Estes Valley Victim Advocates.
Fritz graduated from the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles. Fritz spent his career as executive art director and creative director for large advertising agencies. He won numerous creative awards in both print and television advertising. Some of the accounts he worked on included: Pillsbury, General Mills, Better Homes and Gardens, Eli Lily (Elanco Products), Pioneer Seeds and John Deere.
Bill and his wife, Dana, moved to Estes Park seventeen years ago where he developed an interest in oil painting. He has taken workshops from Cathy Goodale, Karol Mack, Robert Johnson, Jim Biggers and Margaret Jensen.
1n 2012 Bill's work has been accepted in the annual "Lines into Shapes" national juried exhibition where he won the First Place award in the Oil Painting category. He has also won both Best of Show and Honorable Mention in the Cultural Arts Center annual fall show.
League is an artist who chooses wire as a medium and is destined to have a very unique relationship with it. Its pliability and endless experimental possibilities often result in wire becoming greater than itself, and what began as a mere 12 inches of gold filled wire ends as a dynamic frame enhancing the gem it encircles.
League loves wire. She also likes people. Her background is in administration and for 45 years her 'day job' focused on working with people. With so much time spent organizing people, projects and money, she didn't have time to develop her creative side. So making a piece of wearable art from a piece of wire and a mineral cabochon brings out her creative side. League has been designing a variety of mineral and fossil pendants, bracelets, necklaces and earrings since 1999.
League uses 14/20 gold filled or sterling silver square wire for her pendant creations. Wire is so versatile that one is not limited to set sizes, shapes, or materials. League likes to let the gemstone govern the wrap. She doesn't want the wire to overpower the gemstone and become the center of interest. Depending on the size and shape of the cabochon or bead, League never knows exactly how a piece will look until it is completed. The detail of the markings on each mineral or gem dictates the curve or bend of the wire. No two pieces are alike. League loves to attend gem and mineral shows to find that unique mineral piece or natural beads that have different shapes. She uses gold filled and sterling findings to create simple natural stone earring designs. While making her jewelry, the excitement and interest for League is in trying something new and different each time.
In the Art Center Sun Room you'll find artwork created by clients of the Estes Valley Victim Advocates. October is National Domestic Violence Awareness month. This year marks the third year that the Art Center has collaborated with Estes Valley Victim Advocates to encourage the clients to be creative and to provide a space to display their art.
The Art Center of Estes Park is a nonprofit organization which provides a facility to support the work of local and regional artists, striving to promote exhibition, education, and excellence in the visual arts. Proceeds benefit the artist and contribute to the Art Center's education and community outreach. The Art Center is located at 517 Big Thompson Avenue, in Middle Stanley Village, below Safeway and above Subway.
To register for classes, or for more information, please call the Art Center at 970-586-5882 or visit our website at artcenterofestes.com. We are currently working on a fall class schedule featuring intergenerational classes that can be attended by all ages.
We would like to encourage you to come out and join us Friday, Oct. 11, from 5 to 7 p.m. to celebrate the arts in Estes Park.

La. National Guard Sites to Take Same-Sex Benefit Form
Louisiana National Guard personnel seeking benefits for same-sex spouses will have an easier time filing the requests, despite a state refusal to let its workers process the paperwork.
National Guard spokesman Lt. Col. Mike Kazmierzak said Thursday that employees at National Guard sites in Louisiana are being given federal status to allow for handling the benefit enrollment requests for same-sex couples.
Kazmierzak says the move will keep state employees from violating Louisiana's ban on gay marriage. But it also will put Louisiana more in line with a Pentagon directive authorizing the same-sex benefits.
Previously, the Louisiana National Guard had been requiring people seeking the same-sex benefits to file the paperwork with federal military installations around the state for processing, a requirement that could force long trips to the closest site.

Old Westbury - 60, Farmingdale State - 55
Old Westbury, N.Y. - Junior forward DeAndra Scott (St. Albans, N.Y.) scored 17 points and had 17 rebounds as Old Westbury earned a 60-55 victory over Farmingdale State last night.
Trailing 13-12, a Nikita Green (Roosevelt, N.Y.) 3-pointer and Lushanta Savadel (Bellport, N.Y.) jump shot put the Rams (6-9, 4-3) ahead 17-13 with 3:09 remaining in the first half. The Panthers (11-6, 6-2) closed the half on a 6-0 run and took a 19-17 lead into the break.
Old Westbury extended their lead to 39-33 with 9:00 left, before Farmingdale State scored six unanswered to tie the game at 39-39. A 13-5 Panthers run put Old Westbury ahead by eight, 52-44, with less than four minutes to play.
A pair of Nicky Young (Queens, N.Y.) free-throws and four straight points by Green cut the deficit to 52-50 with 2:06 left on the clock. Farmingdale State closed within one with under a minute to play, but six straight Old Westbury points sealed the victory.
Young finished with a game-high 19 points and added 10 rebounds, while Green had 12 points and five assists.
The Rams next will travel to Sage for a conference game on Saturday, January 26th at 1:00 p.m.

Web spamming refers to actions intended to mislead search engines into ranking some pages higher than they deserve. Recently, the amount of web spam has increased dramatically, leading to a degradation of search results. In this talk I will present a taxonomy of current spamming techniques, which we believe can help in developing appropriate countermeasures. I will also describe some of spam detection techniques we have developed at Stanford.

Iskra Angelova is a young Bulgarian actress, a graduate of the National Film and Theatre Academy. Like many others, she left Bulgaria to seek opportunities elsewhere. Supported by a Fulbright scholarship, she went to the United States to study broadcast journalism in Boston. Afterwards, she worked for CBS.
Like many others, however, she has returned to live in Sofia. Iskra now hosts a television show where famous Bulgarians are asked to talk about their lives.
"My friends say that the guests are very intelligent, interesting, bright. Of course there are a lot of people who dislike it and think that it is too pretentious, snobbish or too intellectual."
Looking back at what has changed since the fall of communism in 1989, she takes an optimistic stance.
"Now, 18 years later, most Bulgarians feel disappointed. I am not one of them. I believe our destiny is in our own hands, and when we have the opportunity to do what we are able to, the most talented, the smartest, the most educated, the most innovative people will succeed. I hope."

Carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns is a traditional fake scare for Halloween. In the future, the real scare may be what happens to the pumpkins themselves. If an eerie malady demolishing the nation's honeybees takes hold in Illinois, there may be a lot fewer jack-o'-lanterns glowing in the night.
Carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns is a traditional fake scare for Halloween.
In the future, the real scare may be what happens to the pumpkins themselves. If an eerie malady demolishing the nation's honeybees takes hold in Illinois, there may be a lot fewer jack-o'-lanterns glowing in the night.
"If the bees are all gone, there are no pumpkins for harvest," said Kurt Christ of Christ Orchards near Elmwood, who plants four to five acres in pumpkins each year.
Carl Uhlman has raised pumpkins near Morton for at least 30 years, and has 40 acres of them still in the field this year. He said he was fortunate and had enough wild bees to handle the crop without renting hives. That isn't always the case.
"Basically, that's how pumpkins pollinate," Uhlman said.
"To my knowledge, pumpkins are only pollinated by bees," said Steve Chard, apiary inspection supervisor of the Illinois Department of Agriculture Bureau of Land and Water Resources.
This is more than a holiday decorating problem in a state that ranks first in the nation for pumpkin production - and central Illinois produces most of that total. The problem is colony collapse disorder, or CCD, the latest in a long line of ailments affecting the nation's bees. There have been no confirmed cases in Illinois, but it is tricky to prove, and CCD has been cited in several bordering states.
"It's just one more thing beekeepers need to be prepared to deal with," said Janet Hart, co-owner of Hart's Honey in Brimfield and secretary of the Heart of Illinois Beekeepers Association. "It used to be you could just put a hive out in your backyard. Now you need more knowledge."
Varroa mites and viruses have been huge problems in the past, but the looming threat of CCD is spooky enough for a Halloween story. In early 2007, more than a quarter of the nation's bee colonies simply disappeared. To this day, no one knows why.
"There's still no clear-cut identification of the cause or causes," said Gene Robinson, entomologist and director of the bee research facility at the University of Illinois in Champaign. He said there were similar 20 to 50 percent bee losses in 2007 and 2008. "It is very serious."
One suspected cause is pesticides. The Natural Resources Defense Council has sued the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for refusing to disclose records about that possibility.
"The federal government has been painfully slow to deal with this issue," said NRDC spokesman Josh Mogerman. "Until this issue has been solved, we need to look closely at the pesticides and fungicides that we are all using to be sure that they are not contributing to the problem."
He points out it could be a year-round catastrophe. Bees pollinate an estimated $15 billion worth of U.S. crops.
"Anything you take a bite of - fruit, vegetable, anything - bees probably pollinated it," said Heart of Illinois Beekeepers Association treasurer Mike Moens of Eureka. "It's getting down to where people have to save the honeybees."

Just as he brought us the highest peak in the world, John brings another wonder from heaven to your feet. The Everest is an eloquent t-strap that uses old gold buckles with an ankle strap for a perfect fit. Designed on a vintage Fox & Fluevog hand carved wooden last which includes a soft pointed toe with a curvy toe spring, the Everest has an unfinished raw leather wrapped 2.5" heel on a leather sole. Handmade in a Peruvian factory that has a reputation for outstanding quality and craftsmanship, the Everest features light Argentinian leathers with lots of body and depth, ornate stitching, teardrop cut outs, and will amaze your bewildered feet as you walk among the clouds.
I only wish...
I am usually 9-10 and I got a 9 in these. I think if you have a narrow foot (like me), you can size toward your smaller Fluevog size because the pointy toe is on the long side.
Be aware that the pointy toe points upward a bit (ie off the ground), making the shoe seem more elf-ish. I didn't really like this at first but got used to it and the overall effect of the shoe is just too beautiful to pass up.
"Do not conform" Beautiful Shoes
Love them!
Made me think of these scriptures:
"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - His good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:2.
"Do no be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:21.
Thank you John Fluevog - keep your light shining in His name.

I don't have a job yet...
pff jobs.
i need one.
http://www.bobafett.com/boards/viewtopic.php?id=1361 This topic already exists, though I admit it might could do with a better title.
I'm a proud employee of Wal-Mart!
Started job number 6 for the year V.W. Tech Ed Schmidt VW. Perrysburg, OH.
After today i don't know if i want to ever go back again. It was mayhem and I think i upset my bosses today in the chaos. Im trying my best to answer the phone that will not stop, but when there is no one to take phone calls..... Sorry... i started ranting.
Right now Im a receptionist in a law firm. I answer the phone, enter things on the calendar and new cases. Its not easy to do it all at the same time. I didnt take the job thinking it would be this much responsibility and with basically 40 other people all telling me how and what do things.
Ooh well done Arc that is really funky. I hope it it going well for you.
It is an unpaid job but I am a stay at home mother. I was told that it is classed as being worth £25,000 a year. That is more money than I ever earned when I was working (in fact over double of anything that I used to earn.
Due to the challenges of childcare, I am hoping to work from home when my youngest two are at school though (I will need to do something as I would like to emigrate and this will make it much more possible)
So..... we're going to have two open threads about jobs? We should at least lock this new one and take this discussion to the original thread.

A Boulder bicyclist remained in critical condition late Thursday after she and two other cyclists were struck head-on by an SUV that swerved into the shoulder of the oncoming lane of traffic on North Foothills Highway, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
The crash occurred around 8:50 a.m. near Nebo Road, north of Boulder.
State Patrol spokeswoman Heather Cobler said the three Boulder women — Amy Howard, 56, Jane McConnell, 47, and Susan Graves, 39 — were riding north on the shoulder of North Foothills, also known as U.S. 36.
Albert Gehorsam, 52, of Boulder, was driving a Ford Escape southbound, toward Boulder, when he swerved across the oncoming lane into the shoulder, hitting all three cyclists, Cobler said.
Master Trooper S.S. Schwanke, who was at the accident scene, said it appeared that another southbound vehicle slowed down to turn right into a private drive, at which point Gehorsam swerved around that vehicle.
Howard was airlifted to St. Anthony's Central in Denver and remained in critical condition late Thursday, while the two other cyclists were taken by ambulance to Boulder Community Hospital, Cobler said.
Graves remained hospitalized in good condition, while McConnell was treated for minor injuries and released.
Reached by phone after the accident, McConnell said the three friends often ride together and had decided to head north toward St. Vrain Road.
"We were just going out for a nice morning bike ride," she said. "We were riding a road that is very popular with cyclists, and we were all in single file, well within the right shoulder.
"All of a sudden this black car swerved from behind another car and hit us head-on," she said. "There wasn't any time to react. The car just flew out of nowhere."
Howard and Graves — who were the first and second riders in the column — hit the car head-on, while McConnell said she glanced off the car and fell into a roadside ditch. She got up and immediately called 911 and went to check on her friends. A woman who said she was a nurse as well as several other drivers stopped to help Howard and Graves, who McConnell said were both conscious after the crash.
McConnell said all three were wearing helmets, and they consider themselves experienced riders.
"I think it was a freak accident," she said. "It wasn't a case of us drifting into the road. You just don't expect a car to cross the center line and come towards you. If there had been a car in the other lane it would have plowed into it. But there wasn't, so it hit us."
She added that she doesn't consider the stretch of road to be dangerous, but that accidents can happen anywhere.
"Anytime you mix motorists and cyclists there is a potential for accidents," she said.
Reached Thursday evening, Gehorsen declined to discuss the accident. Troopers said he was not injured in the crash.
The accident remains under investigation, and Gehorsen has not been ticketed, Cobler said.
North Foothills Highway was closed from Nebo to Lefthand Canyon Drive for nearly two hours Thursday morning as emergency crews dealt with the accident.

It's his own fault though if he gets into trouble, normally they get you to sign all sorts of confidentiality agreements, especially if the products haven't been released yet. Either way, it's either the incompetence of Hasbro (one of the guys in one of the photos looks like a production member/director so he should have picked up on it when the photos were taken) or the dumb actor himself. He looks a bit full of himself anyway so I have no sympathy for him. He took photos and put them on instagram, tweeted about it.. Hasbro have NO excuse to not understand how powerful social media spreads like wildfire after their last mess with UT... :PDelete

St. Thomas More Catholic Church
Church addition/renovation to support space needs of growing congregation
Create an addition/renovation design for an existing church to enhance worship, fellowship and service activities of a growing congregation.
SFS designers collaborated with St. Thomas More Parish representatives to identify space and functionality needs and determine the aesthetic goals for the space.
The 10,000 SF addition includes a new 5,000 SF narthex with elevator and 5,000 SF of meeting, Sacristy, nursery and storage space. A covered drop-off and vestibule and handicapped accessible parking also were added, and unfinished basement space below the Narthex was added to allow for future expansion. Renovations to the existing church included window replacement and stained glass restoration, Stations of the Cross reinstallation, reroofing, security enhancement and technology upgrades. Environmental responsibility was a priority for the project so sustainable initiatives, such as daylighting, HVAC controls/monitoring, recycled materials and a pervious asphalt parking lot, were implemented throughout the project.

Depending on operating conditions, the bearing can run 5 to 30 °C cooler compared to an SKF basic design bearing. The lower operating temperature extends the service life of the grease, and can prolong bearing service life.

Ramseyer, Peter (b. 1706)
Peter Ramseyer (Ramseier) (b. 1706), of the Münsterberg in the Bernese Jura, Switzerland, was ordained as a minister in 1730 and as an elder in 1732. Ramseyer was one of the most important leaders of the Mennonites of the Jura of that time. One of the responsible services of these Jura preachers was the care of the orphaned Emmental Mennonites following the last severe persecutions and emigrations. Traveling was in those days no easy matter. The official records found in the state archives at Bern report that meetings in the neighborhood of Thun were held by brethren from the Jura in 1767. On the other hand, young couples of the Emmental traveled to the Jura to be married by Ramseyer.
In the spring of 1762 Peter Ramseyer went to the Palatinate, Germany, with two other preachers and brought back a certificate signed by 25 elders and preachers, showing that these three men "paternally and sincerely comforted the congregations in the Palatinate and pointed them to true constancy in the faith." In 1766 the Jura ministers were again called to the Palatinate to try to settle a serious difference that had arisen among the preachers there in consequence of the pietistic preaching of Peter Weber. The matter was to be discussed at a conference of the Palatine brethren and the Swiss visiting ministers. In September Abraham Zeisset wrote the letter of invitation with the following address: "An den bescheidenen Petter Ramseyer zu Minster im bischofsgebit brunatrut [Pruntrut] 12 stund ober Basel." (To the humble Peter Ramseyer at Münster in the bishopric of Pruntrut hours above Basel.)
Believing that the matter had come to a peaceful settlement, the Swiss preachers returned to their homes. But only a few months later the dissension had become so general that the Easter communion service of 1767 was omitted throughout the Palatine congregations, the laymen demanding of their preachers that they first make peace among themselves. A further attempt at unification was made by the Jura brethren in 1770, though with the same negative result. More letters were sent from Illfingen near Biel dated 24 May 1779. In 1782 the aged Peter Ramseyer made a final journey to the Palatinate, accompanied by Hans Lehmann, Bendicht Wahli, Hans Steiner, and David Baumgartner; they met at the Himmelhäuserhof, and this time succeeded in restoring peace. On 13 July 1784, he and the other ministers wrote a letter at Biderichgraben to Johannes Weber on the matter of the Amish division, and on 24 April 1787, he received a letter from a number of brethren in the Palatinate. Nothing more is known about Peter Ramseyer.

M is for... first appeared on May 10, 2009 and has become my Mother's Day tradition. Once, again, Happy Mother's Day, Mother Muscato, wherever you are...
No, she's not my mother. Actually, we lost Mother Muscato almost ten years ago,* and I'm still getting over the surprise.
Despite all she went through in her last couple of years - a familiar litany of complaints for women of her generation, the harsh follow-ons from everything that had seemed so au courant when they were girls, principally smoking - despite all that, I truly believed, on some level, that she was simply too strong-minded to let anything else, even cancer, have its way.
Until the end, she was a paean to the virtues of denial, stoutly maintaining that of course she was fine. Everything was fine. We didn't think all that much about it; her total distaste for bad news of any kind was an ingrained fact of life. When I moved away from home, after a few surprises I learned to phone home now and then for a rundown with her of elderly family and friends; "Oh," she'd admit grudgingly, "didn't I tell you? Cousin Adele died six months ago. Oh, come on, it's not all that sad - she was 87, for God's sake..."
I think, at the end, she must have thought a lot about just why she wasn't, in fact, a circus showgirl, or whatever it was that actually had been her dream a long ways back. I deeply suspect that where she ended up was pretty far from what she'd planned.
She married at the very tail end of the War and for more than half a century led a life that was was an almost entirely conventional blend of children, family, work, and church. In all that time, I don't think we ever, as you do, really thought all that much about her, if you know what I mean.
Until, of course, it was too late, which I didn't realize until we were clearing out her things. Having married into a family of packrats (just this side of Collyer-brother hoarding, really; Father Muscato had a warehouse he never told the Evil Stepmother about**), she went to the opposite extreme. Over time during her last couple years, she had pared her own possessions almost to nothing, easy enough to do when surrounded by her husband's and her children's plentiful detritus.
There were a few pieces of jewelry (charm bracelet, string of pearls, her mother's garnet set and her grandmother's jet mourning brooch...), a drawer full of neatly filed records (bills, taxes, mortgage) - and almost nothing else. She seems to have disposed of several generations worth of papers from her side of the family, from her great-grandparents' civil war letters to the correspondence her mother's mother had carried on with any number of interesting people she had met on long-distance freighter cruises (Great-grandmother Muscato shared a passion for penal reform with one, the gentleman who wrote 20,000 Years in Sing Sing; they had gotten to be chums somewhere between Shanghai and Juneau, and their letters had been numerous and voluble), and almost every scrap related to herself (this in a house that contained every Christmas card received since the Truman administration).
Except: in one dresser drawer, an unmarked envelope, large and faded yellow. In it were three or four magazines, story monthlies from the early 40s. There wasn't much to link them - they included a romance anthology, a "true confessions" format, and a Western, I believe. It was only as we passed them around, my siblings and I, that we noticed that each carried a story by an author whose name was an amalgam of our mother's mother's and her grandmother's maiden names.
We showed them to our father (already, although we didn't yet know it, trying to decide whether to wait until after the funeral to announce his engagement - but that's another story), and he said offhandedly that oh, yes, your mother had always wanted to be a writer. Those must be hers.
So maybe she didn't want to be a circus showgirl; maybe she dreamed of being Katherine Anne Porter or Taylor Caldwell or her favorite author, Mazo de la Roche. And on Mother's Day, each year, I sit a moment and wonder what else it is we don't know about the sharp-tongued, irritable, meanly funny suburban matron who raised us and, if nothing else, helped ensure we all got the hell out of Dodge even if she hadn't.
The stories? Never read them. My sister got hold of the envelope, and she's her mother's daughter.
* 16 years, this year. Doesn't seem possible.
** Just realized that this year I have to move that to the past tense. Time in its flight...

Got a rear-drive car with bald all-season tires? Is there a blizzard sweeping through your city? It's snow drifting time!
This was shot in Dayton just the other day.
When the roads are cleared of other drivers by weather and fresh snow lets the rear step out every time you touch the throttle, your BMW Z3 becomes a mad powersliding machine. Huge winter storms suddenly don't seem so bad.

A Sandwich A Day: Spicy Italian at Chop Shop
Reviews of Chicago sandwiches.
There's no shortage of good Italian sandwiches in Chicago, so if you plan to serve one, it better be good. Now that that public service announcement is out of the way, please go get a Spicy Italian (12" for $11) from Chop Shop in Bucktown.
This new butcher/deli/bar/restaurant/event space (seriously) is still getting its feet wet in Bucktown, but it's got a near-perfect Italian sandwich coming out of the deli section. The meats are all incredibly flavorful, each showcasing their own unique seasoning. The hot soppressata shines through the most—peppery and spicy—followed by the fatty casalingo. The hot coppa has a strong red pepper flavor with an intense saltiness. It's all topped with a mild provolone, crisp lettuce, tomatoes and a small helping of hot or mild giardiniera if you want them. I opted for hot giardiniera, which was a spicy mix of carrots, cauliflower, peppers, and celery. I longed for just a bit more heat than what they gave me, but it was an easily fix. One extra side of giardiniera and I was a blissfully happy girl, devouring a sandwich almost the size of my forearm.

K Is For Kemo – The ABCs Of Cancer
No matter how good we may or may not comprehend spelling, one thing that everyone can understand is pain, particularly when it comes in the form of cancer. How we deal with that pain, however, is a different matter altogether.
During my January visit to St. Jude, I remember turning a corner to see a little girl in a wheelchair. Her head was smooth where her hair used to be. When she realized that I was looking at her, she offered me a smile as she rubbed her scalp. "I have cancer," she said. "My medicine made me lose my hair." Her voice was soft, her bright blue eyes unwavering as she looked back at me.
"It will grow back," I told her, offering a smile.
She nodded at me before her nurse wheeled her away toward her chemotherapy treatment. I was struck by how pretty she was, even if she didn't have any hair. But I was also caught off guard by her bravery.
I've had friends who have been diagnosed with cancer and it is common for them to get angry or frightened. And while this little girl at St. Jude may have gone through those emotions herself, she, like so many of the St. Jude kids I met, possessed a resilience and determination to get better that was incomparable.
That little girl knew that she was part of the St. Jude family, which is comprised of the staff, patients, and most of all the generous donors who make cures and treatments for all kinds of cancers and other catastrophic pediatric diseases possible. Won't you become a Partner In Hope today and join the St. Jude family? It is easy to do, and your contributions will go a long way toward giving all the St. Jude kids the kind of hope it takes to be brave enough to battle these horrible diseases.

Crossroads, Part II
Don't really want to say much about it, except that the Guild Relations forum is right: If you are asking if you should leave your guild, the answer is always Yes. I ignored that advice, given to so many other posters, thinking that my situation was different. That was a mistake.
I'm not really sure what to do now. I could apply to another raiding guild. I could respec to Retribution and farm for my epic flying mount. I could wait for 2.4 and just do all the solo content. I could level an alt.
Ah well, maybe I'll use the free time to get caught up with posting.

I'd definitely take a few days to consider what you really want from the game, and what role you want to play. All three specs are viable today, so pick the one you love. If your server is like mine, healers are in the most demand, but there are some T5 and T6 guilds around here looking for Prot Pallies as well.ReplyDelete
There's also the semi fresh start of WotLK coming up. It's a great time to level an alt up to 70 to be ready to go in time for that. I'll probably stick with my Tankadin as my main, but by the time WotLK drops I'll have my Enhance Shammy at 70 and ready to go, too.
I don't know what caused you to leave your guild, but I wish you the best of luck in finding a place that will be a real fit for you. =D
change is good. if you don't like where the dial stopped, spin it again. it may not feel 100% like change is good, but it is. leaving a guild is very much like a break up. you do need some time - how much depends on different people.ReplyDelete
take the time. don't rush into that next relationship! for now, enjoy the free-agent or non-raiding obligations.
anyways, that's my recommendation. wow, how fun to be on the path to something new!
It's actually not a bad time to be solo. My Pally isn't in a real guild at the moment (I'm wearing my bank alt guild tag over my head, just so I don't get spammed with /ginvites), and he's got a fair amount to do yet BEFORE even getting started on the new 2.4 dailies. (I also get an unsolicited /tell inviting me to tank an instance every other day or so.)ReplyDelete
Retribution is calling you! Come towards the light, and you will be rewarded with a large sword or hammer!ReplyDelete
I was in the same position a month or so ago, where things just weren't right in my guild, some drama with other guild members insued and I quit. I don't regret it at all. I feel like I have more of my time and life back.
- Anonymous2:38 PM, March 18, 2008
I've been without a group to consistently run content with for months now. When I did, it was great, but that group went away for what I assume were RL issues.ReplyDelete
What I've found is that every "guild" run I get into now as a pug has guild drama. Folks cussing each other in Vent, and general chaos. It's making me lean stronger and stronger to Ret.
If you can find a good guild to join, and that appeals to you, by all means do, but, in the meantime, enjoy the solo time, farm the gold and rep, farm the honor and arena points, and just do things for yourself.
Pug if ya want to.. but don't get sucked back into the drama...
Pfft, I ground out my epic flight money as holy!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous3:04 PM, March 18, 2008
Changes inspire posts, I find!ReplyDelete
Except when I'm not sure how to post about the changes. Perhaps reading about your new adventures, as I'm sure you've got a decent rep on your realm and will be invited to a great group soon, will inspire me too.
Thanks for the comment on my pet :) While this isn't the same one, SnipSnap was the name of the very first pet I had (I went scorpid while my friends went boar) so it was fun to have another at 70 :)
First determine "what do you want to do?"ReplyDelete
All actions will follow after that.
If you want to heal higher level raid content then you'll need a new guild.
If you want to try out tanking you may not need a guild initially (depending on the quality of your tanking gear) but eventually you'll probably want a new guild.
If you want to amass buckets of money in preparation for WotLK then you'll probably want a speedy mount and farm to your hearts content.
If you want to become famous as the crazy collector of green boots.. you probably don't need a guild.
What do you want out of the game? What makes it fun for you? What is it that hasn't been fun that you want to eliminate? What have you never done that you've always wanted to do?
- Anonymous8:14 PM, March 18, 2008
For farming, I had a much easier time as Prot, especially when I was doing the Netherwing dailies. Ret's good, but hard unless you've got good gear.
- Anonymous9:01 PM, March 18, 2008
It's a pity you're not horde, my BT/Hyjal guild is looking for a retribution pally. Perhaps a respec might be a good change of pace, given your love for the hybrid aspect of pallys?ReplyDelete
Good luck with things.
A good opportunity to setup your next set of goals! I am a big fan of having a written goal list. It helps on the focus and motivation front.ReplyDelete
And of course catch up on your posting. :)
Oh, tough decision, that: I just left my guild of over two years on my warrior yesterday as well, after thinking for weeks that maybe I was just overreacting and the atmosphere in /g wasn't really that bad. Posted a nice "need some fresh air, don't agree with all that happened here also" post on guild forums (yes, really that noncommittal, no names, just a little longer), and the only reaction I got was a "you won't be missed, gj leaving before we would have demoted or kicked you anyway" message from the guild leader. Feeling very free now at the moment, even if I joined my alts' guild already. A lot of weight dropped from my shoulders, it seems.ReplyDelete
But to get back to you: well, what the others said: think about what you want (spec alright? raiding a desire or maybe not really anymore?) and then just do it. Your monthly fee, get out of the game what you want.
- Anonymous7:12 AM, March 19, 2008
Blizzard is doing a great job to give lots of oppertunites to people not in raiding guilds. Here is my suggestions:ReplyDelete
1. Grind 75k honor for season 4. The honor epics (bracers, belt, boots, ring, neck) are very strong and rival T6 in quality.
2. Get on arena teams and bank 5k arena points for season 4. Arena can be a lot of fun. Make a 3v3 and 5v5. Arena gear is very strong, especially for healing Pallys.
3. Grind up as many badges as you can. 2.4 is bringing T6 quality badge loot and you'll want to get started on it now.
I'd start by doing the Heroic Daily and Battleground Daily every day. You get almost $40 for those two dailys, and you pick up extra honor and badges.
I found that finding a few friends to just get together and do BGs, Arena, and Heroics every day is much more satisfying than the politics and stress of being in a raiding guild.
- Anonymous10:19 AM, March 19, 2008
Given your history of raiding, I would suggest a new raiding guild if you're not burned out on raiding. I don't know the specifics of why you left, but I'm sure you can find a good guild.ReplyDelete
If you're looking for a change in playstyle, might I recommend going Shockadin? It seems to be closest to a hybrid spec paladins have under your definition.
- Anonymous12:25 PM, March 19, 2008
I'm sorry to hear about your trouble coming to a head. Making a move like that is always difficult. My advice? Don't rush into anything. Take a little while to see what feel right. If that ends up being joining a raid guild, then make sure it's the right one. Take your time and I'm sure it will end up working out even better then you would have guessed.ReplyDelete
Good luck!
- Anonymous4:16 PM, March 19, 2008
When I left my guild earlier this year, I stayed unguilded for a few weeks, ran PUGs, did dailies, got my Netherwing and whatnot. In the end I got picked up by a new guild who seemed like mature and funny and skilled people - and yes, they are all of the above.ReplyDelete
On my server, tanks and healers are always in high demand, so you could collect a prot set while doing heroics for badges. You could also do the same while going ret, and hit people hard in PvP.
You could also level a horde alt, kill your former guildmates in PvP and have lots of fun on the way. That's what I did when I was burned out of the game two years ago.
You could also do nothing, wait for WotLK, unlock a Death Knight and play that guy. Although I have to admit that I like my current char too much to give him up for some undead dude, how noble his intentions might have been.
Above all, breath. Blog. Enjoy life.
You could always transfer to Bloodhoof and learn Vashj with my guild.ReplyDelete
But in the meanwhile I suggest you start learning/practicing PVP and Arena, it'll make you a much more flexible player for any future content Blizz puts out.
- Anonymous6:33 AM, March 21, 2008
I left my guild a couple of days ago, too.ReplyDelete
I was getting really annoyed with some of the raiding aspects of our guild.
It was a hard decision, but having made it, I feel quite relieved now.
I think I will take a break from raiding for a couple of weeks at least, do some 5 mans, do dailies to earn some money, and see if I can meet some decent people in the meantime who might invite me to their guild (already turned down one invite).
Life moves on - nothing stays the same. Look forward to the nexst challenge, etc etc.
Or you could play your warlock a bit so as to master it as well as you have your paladin. I hear that guild you're in on the horde side could really use another player with a love for this game and will to succeed.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous3:13 PM, April 07, 2008
Been afk just checking back in here. Long time reader rarely a replier.ReplyDelete
Sounds like ya been doing the holy thing for awhile.
Your ret gear is solid, go kick butt and take names. Perhaps not the most progression oriented choice but nothing relieves stress like pound pixels,looting stuff and moving on to do it again.
Could always get your BG on :)
Or the horde can always use more sweet BE Pally power...
- Anonymous6:35 AM, May 06, 2008
I have a guild which is pretty nice. I can't raid. The raid timings don't match me. So, what can I do.ReplyDelete
I still do kara once in a while - all the way to prince. I recently got my epic flying mount. I am lvling up engineering for the heck of it. I am also lvling up a horde druid and a lock (on pvp, i usually play pve).
Options abound a lot. Just chill, and play the game for what it is meant to be - to enjoy.

I know you music lovers out there are familiar with this symbol that is seen on the buds of headphones around the world. Today I will show you "how to draw Skullcandy", step by step. Skullcandy is actually the name of a brand for a company that manufacturers and sells products like; headphones, ear-buds, audio backpacks, MP3 players, and other stuff related to music. The company was founded back in 2003 and their base is run out of Park City Utah.

KISS' Paul Stanley Calls Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Co-Founder a 'Spineless Weasel'
The original four members of KISS are now officially Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees. Although the April 10 ceremony is in the past, Paul Stanley's criticism of the institution continues. This time, Stanley takes aim at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame co-founder and Rolling Stone editor Jann Wenner, whom Paul Stanley calls a "spineless weasel."
Earlier in the year, Paul Stanley made his opinion of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame very clear, revealing that he did not see KISS' nomination for induction as an honor. Despite this, Stanley accepted the induction along with Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss. However, following the induction, Stanley criticized the Hall's treatment of KISS while the band attended the ceremony.
Stanley tweeted:
@RollingStone Our treatment at the RRHOF confirmed my worst suspicions. Wenner and the rest are spineless weasels. pic.twitter.com/8Y9nTJluSF

@JannWenner his RRHOF made sure to treat us as uninvited guests. No passes. No schedule and on. We were great and he remains a small man.

Likely connected to Stanley's criticism of Wenner, Gene Simmons tweeted his own jab at Rolling Stone by linking to a less than stellar review of Led Zeppelin's debut album:
ROLLING STONE. IDIOTS THEN. IDIOTS NOW….http://t.co/y5x0mxs6Wh

Simmons followed up by tweeting the link to a song by Christopher Milk, a band which consisted of the writer who penned the Led Zeppelin review, John Mendelsohn:
HERE IS THE ROLLING STONE WRITER WHO PANNED ZEP'S 1ST ALBUM. HIS BAND..MORON…https://t.co/419kBWCVWg

The day after KISS was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Ace Frehley dropped by Loudwire headquarters for an interview. Stay tuned for our exclusive chat on the Rock Hall with Frehley coming very soon!
