10 Hard-Hitting Ideas About the Difficult Business of Domain Name Investing (Domaining)
Question: Is it really profitable to buy up domain names in hopes that someone will one day want to pay for that domain name?
Answer: If you are committed to learning, and you have a skill at choosing names that can sell, then you may become successful in this business. Nevertheless, be aware that selling domain names is a very difficult business. Here are ten ideas about "domaining" — the business of buying and selling domain names.
- Investing in domain names is similar to investing in the stock market: You could make money, or you could lose money.
- The harder you work to learn, the better chances you have of making money.
- Beware of scams. Scams in the domaining world are subtle, costly, and everywhere.
- Take advantage of the excellent resources for learning, such as Domain Sherpa (their weekly video interview), and Domain Name Journal, and Domain Name Wire.
- Expect to lose money during your first year in this business.
- To be successful in this business, you must learn the art of choosing domain names that can sell. Buy domain names about subjects that you know well, so that you will understand the importance of the domain name.
- Do not price your domain names too high, or else they will never be sold.
- Always use a reliable escrow company, it protects the seller and the buyer.
- Test the waters by buying a few good names from a domain name registrar at the original prices, and then try to sell these names at Sedo .com — which is now offering "free listings".
- Ask yourself: "Is this the kind of work I will enjoy doing?" … If the answer is "Yes," then you have much greater chances for success.

Wind turbines convert kinetic energy in the wind into electrical energy. Aerofoil shaped blades create a differential pressure from the wind flowing over them, resulting in a lift force that causes motion. This motion is used to drive a wind turbine generator and generate electricity. These aerofoil blades have the same physical properties that are harnessed to cause an aircraft or helicopter to fly, where the 'wind' is caused by engines pushing the wings/blades at speed.
With the most significant wind resource in Europe, the UK is ideally placed to increase distributed renewable energy generation through the deployment of small, medium and large scale wind turbines.

Knitting With Dog Hair: Better A Sweater From A Dog You Know and Love Than From A Sheep You'll Never Meet
Who knows, this recession might come to an end at some point, sparing some of us the necessity of wearing a sweater made out of our pets. Alternate title: Shed Your Dignity As Your Pet Sheds His Hair. Most people are shocked at the idea of using dog wool, but, as Sanke explains on her website, Knit Your Dog, it's a wonderful material that's entirely natural, clean and odor-free and humanely harvested, especially when considered how aggressive other animal-shearing methods can be. In order to work, a dog's hair must come from its undercoat, not the glossy overcoat, and it cannot be cut. It must be harvested with a brush, comb, or rake.
The longer the undercoat, the better it spins. Chow Chows, Samoyeds, Golden Retrievers, Newfoundlands, Kuvasz, Keeshonds, Afghans, Bernese, Great Pyrenees, Pekingese, Briards, bearded and rough Collies, and other long-haired undercoated breeds spin very well. Huskies and Malamutes spin well if the undercoat is long enough (if a hair shaft is 1.5″ or longer); if it's a shorter coat, it will need to be blended with a longer fiber to ensure that the wool remains intact. If your pet is suffering form hair loss, visit ukmeds.co.uk and look for the best treatment for your dog's specific condition so that it's healthy, strong, and shiny for when you're ready to prepare it for knitting.

I was surprised to realize that I haven't done a photo update since August! As I mentioned in last week's post on Halloween costume ideas, this has been an especially busy fall for Mr. Q and I, for various reasons. Here's a peek at what we've been up to!
Adding a little fall cheer to our outdoor and indoor spaces.
My Italian basil plant was growing out of control and I had
to snip off some branches to keep it from falling over. It
dawned on me that I could put some in a vase, the way
people do with boxwood branches. The smell is an extra perk.
The first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season, a Friday gift from
Mr. Q, and a happy coincidence spotted while shopping.
There's a brand-new restaurant in town called The Bootlegger's
Café and we are in love. Of course, the drinks are served in Mason jars.
My BFF Breeze and I decided to have the most autumnal day
ever - we visited a pumpkin patch, carved pumpkins, make apple
seasoned pork chops and apple sangria, and watched football.
We couldn't resist these Virginia Tech and UVa themed hay bales!
Our tribe's Halloween pumpkin carving efforts - the middle two
started with stencils, but Breeze and I did the monograms freehand!
Mr. Q competed in his first Cyclocross race in Roanoke. Cyclocross
is no joke - the bikers had to ride and jump over obstacles like
telephone poles, a wooden wall, and a sand pit.
I participated in Color Me Rad with some lovely special education
teachers from my school - the proceeds go to Special Olympics so it was
near and dear to our hearts. I actually ran several parts of the course!
Halloween! Mr. Q was so happy when he spotted this He-Man
costume that I decided we should go for an 80's theme. When I
saw a My Little Pony hoodie, I was sold. Hoodie costumes for the
win - most comfortable Halloween ever. I also kind of want to dye
my hair pink and purple for real because I loved being a rainbow.

The Individuality of Diversity
Recent posts to Speculative Faith by Daniel Whyte IV and Mike Duran have addressed the topic of diversity among fiction writers in general and Christian fiction writers in particular. This post I'm going to offer my own thoughts on the topic of diversity, which I believe are different from both Mr. Whyte and Mr. Duran. My ideas of course are my own and do not reflect any official position of Speculative Faith.
While serving with the US Army in Djibouti, Africa in 2012, I remember meeting the Ethiopian liaison officer to the US military command there (Combined Joint Task Force–Horn of Africa or CJTF-HOA). I don't remember the Colonel's name, but I do remember noticing something distinctive about him. He was missing half of his right index finger, just like I am. His story of how he lost the finger was very similar, too. He was helping to cut wood for the winter (the Ethiopian highlands get cold enough to need it) when he was a small boy and a relative accidentally cut off his finger. He was five and I was seven and his cousin chopped his finger off and for me it was my sister. But both our stories spoke of hard childhoods in rural poverty–a poverty that made he and I more alike in that regard than I am with the majority of any ethnic group from the United States, no matter what their race is.
Likewise I've sat across the table from Afghans from remote areas of Farah province. While they and I were different in numerous ways (in many specific ways my life had more in common with the Ethiopian officer), most especially in our religion, these tough ethnic Pashtuns lived lives mostly without electricity, without running water, with "outdoor plumbing," with their main energy for work provided by animal power. I too lived a portion of my life in a similar way. We usually had electricity (but it failed often) but as I child I passed extensive periods without indoor plumbing and living on a farm in which animal power was the primary way to get things done. Again, this is something about myself that showed more in common with foreigners than with most of my fellow US citizens, no matter what ethic group they come from (though rural Mexicans and Central Americans often have similar experiences to mine).
By the way, I found the Afghans were living rougher lives that most Africans, overall. Mostly because wartime pressures are worse in Afghanistan than most (but not all) of Africa–but note most Afghans are classified as (believe it or not) "white." And they are desperately poor as a nation, overall. Though in fact, experiences vary in Afghanistan–some Afghans have lived relatively cushy lives, especially those who grow up in the families of urban professionals. Yes, even Afghanistan has urban professionals. And yes, even a nation that is essentially made up of one race can have sharp ethnic splits and class divisions.
For those of you who might be familiar with the history of Afghanistan, you might find it noteworthy that the East-Asian-looking Hazara of Afghanistan's central Hindu Kush mountains have been picked on by most of the other groups in Afghanistan. You might be tempted to call that racial discrimination. But there's a group in Afghanistan called the Aimaqs that are every bit as East-Asian-looking that are not especially discriminated against. Why not? Because they are Sunni Muslims like the majority of Afghans–while the Hazara are Shia Muslims. Surprise, racial discrimination is not really a worldwide thing–sure, it exists in many different countries, but in places removed from Western culture ethnicity (marked by language) usually matters more. As does religion. Actually, this is true in Western cultures, too. Though the modern conversation about discrimination based on race seems to miss that.
How do you suppose Afghans are treated that move to the United States? Maybe OK if nobody knows where they are from. But their accents and attendance at mosques tend to set them off–and from what I hear, they tend to get a little extra loving tender care from the TSA when they fly. Probably far more than those of you reading this receive. From what I've heard, that's true even if they worked as translators for US troops and put their lives on the line shoulder to shoulder with us. And what race are they? Usually "white."
Any intense focus on race I see as an ideological virus. It's first of all a moronic notion–the idea that all of everyone from Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia have something in common making them essentially alike, just like everyone from sub-Saharan Africa supposedly has something that makes them alike, just as all Native Americans were supposedly alike and all East Asians alike. Nonsense. Individual differences are much bigger, much more important that real racial differences. Even benchmarks a racial theorist might think are reliable such as Africans having darker skin than Europeans isn't always true–some Africans have relatively light skin (and not because of being so-called "mixed race"). While some Europeans are quite swarthy.
History mostly doesn't reflect even Europeans fully believing this hokum–the English thought they were inherently different from the Irish, the French from the Germans, the Italians from the Greeks, etc, etc. It was only colonialism and a relatively-late desire to justify colonialism that caused the latter half of the 19th Century to become the heyday of racial theory, where people for the first time actually proposed that all Europeans have something in common and really meant it.
By the way, yes, these racial theorists did a great deal of harm to society. True. Yes, some of their idiotic ideas linger and even have a small effect in the direction of being self-fulfilling prophecy. Yes, by believing that race was real and really matters, they created institutions that enforced racial divisions, especially in regard to African Americans, but also against other ethnicities at various times. But it's never actually been true that all white people are alike. Nor all blacks not all Latinos nor all Asians or Native Americans or nor all whatever.
It is not a sign of actual diversity to represent two people who grow up in the same middle class suburb of a major American city, speak only English, attend the same quality schools, but one of the two has dark brown skin and is called "black" and the other has light pink skin and is called "white." While the two people no doubt have different experiences to a degree, these differences are essentially pretty small. Both have about as much chance of success in life. I'm not quoting stats here, but it's true. Neither of these people will face prejudice so crippling that they cannot get ahead in life in the United States.
However, if you are a black person who grows up in a neighborhood with high crime and terrible schools, you are at a significant disadvantage to both white and black "I grew up in a middle class suburb" person. The real issue is not race–it's place. It's more what the schools are like and unemployment and the substance abuse situation where you live than anything else (many but not all of America's reservations are especially terrible places in that regard). This type of depressed ethnic neighborhoods was to a large degree caused by historic racism–and a person coming from a situation of dire urban poverty really does have a different perspective on life than a middle-class person. But it's a situation that is only influenced a small amount by current racism. There are many very successful people from all ethnic groups in the United States. And not every black person is actually from the "hood"–not even close!
My use of "small amount" to refer to the influence of current racism may offend some people, and I'm sorry, but I think that's fair. I say that from the perspective of having spent significant time in foreign countries and having observed how divisions can line up in foreign non-racial patterns, ones that still produce haves and have-nots, advantaged people and disadvantaged. Without racism being a significant factor.
You wanna talk real diversity without making a bunch of presumptions about race? How about someone being different from most other people by missing fingers? 🙂 Losing a finger in an accident changes your perspective on life, I'm telling you–people chopping vegetables on a cooking show probably generates winces in me that ten-fingered folk do not feel. Yet if we were to create a panel of people who are missing fingers, to include both the Ethiopian Colonel I referenced earlier and myself would not represent diversity simply because he's from Africa and I'm from North America. We both lost the same finger in the same way, making us essentially the same in the context of missing fingers…losing a thumb in a different way, now that would be an example of diversity in that context.
It may seem that I'm rambling here but I hope I'm doing so with a purpose. If you have a panel of writers, all of whom only speak English, all went to similar universities, all doubt the existence of God, and all have similar writing style, is that really a diverse panel if fifty percent or better are women and there are plenty of blacks, Latinos, and Asians? In relation to the subject of writing, diversity should actually center around different writing style, different themes, and different underlying convictions that under-gird what people write. Do people from different ethnic groups (as in racially based ones) automatically have vastly different perspectives from one another in all cases which will mean their writing is totally different? I would say, "no." In particular in regard to modern ideas about sexuality as expressed in writing, it seems to me there is a high degree of uniformity among modern winners of the Hugo and Nebula awards. Pretty much all are libertine–and that reflects in their writing.
Please don't misunderstand, I'm not against deliberate efforts to include people of differing superficial groups, including people belonging to various categories hatched up by 19th Century racial theorists. Though that's just to make people feel welcome–the racial categories themselves are essentially meaningless. People are not their race–race is not destiny–that was a lie hatched up by self-serving racists. They never succeeded in making it wholly true, even though they tried. And it certainly isn't true now. And thinking that race is somehow deeply significant is perversely very Western-centric and United States-focused–my experience meeting Africans, Central Americans, Middle Easterners, and Afghans has led me to believe that America's perspective on race doesn't reflect the whole world.
So if we as Christian writers wish to be welcoming to people different from ourselves, does it make sense to celebrate human diversity based on outward appearance or other superficial criteria? Sure, there's no downside in doing so as long as we don't think we just solved the world's problems by mixing people from different groups. It's kind to let people know they will not be excluded based on superficial criteria–but to imagine there is something actually different about writing or writers based on such superficial things–c'mon now. Real diversity is diversity of ideas, of character, of experiences–and nothing about race or other similar superficial criteria determine that in advance.
Each individual is in fact an island to himself or herself in most ways. Like me and my Ethiopian Colonel, every single person has the chance to meet someone of another race who because of individual experiences is more like them than anyone else in the world. Ethnicity is not destiny. Individual differences matter more than ethnic groups.
And the Church that Jesus built, while it should be welcoming for all who will repent and enter it–while churches absolutely are diverse in race, ethnicity, and gender, it all started with twelve Jewish men. You'd be making a big mistake to think those twelve men were not a diverse group–they were diverse in profession, education, and personality. For example, the disciples included a zealot, a group who swore to kill the Romans, yet also a former tax collector, who had collaborated with them. That's a more significant diversity than if one of them had been born in Africa and one had been born in Europe but both believed the same things and spoke the same language.
Diversity in fact is most importantly reflected in inner traits and experiences. Real diversity is individual. As we deliberately include writers that fall into different superficial categories (as we should do), let's not forget that. Let's also seek diversity of experiences, styles, and beliefs.

I have one thing to say. You know what's missing from this conversation about race and diversity here on Speculative Faith in the last few weeks?
Racial diversity.
Could you invite as many minority writers to share their thoughts and experiences with race and diversity, as the number of white men you've published, sharing their opinions about this issue?
Do you *have* any minority authors you can invite to contribute?
If not, maybe start there. 😐
I think Jo Michelle is right about the general problems in Christian speculative fiction though I don't think Travis Perry is part of the problem (the whole aspect about Travis's race and Mike's is a bit of a red herring. It falls under a classic logical fallacy called the genetic fallacy that says an argument should be considered less legitimate because of the racial, religious, sexual group someone hails from. Which ironically, is the major logical fallacy used to justify racism).
That being said, Jo Michelle has many good points. I think in particular the prominence of Vox in the Christian spec faith industry has been problematic and has troubled me, as has some of the ideas about Jews present in Kathy Tyers's work (a much lesser problem than Vox to be sure and probably not intentional on Kathy's part). My point here is not even to attack Vox, but merely to note that his presence and prominence in the industry may be turning off other voices from the industry.
I think there has been some progress in the industry, particularly in Steve Rzasa's works, which do promote more diversity than was common when I first read the genre. But I think Jo is right to note that the genre is still essentially seen as a white, or white male, genre. To my knowledge, I know of only one POC who has written for Enclave.
I would note, however, that racial justice untied to economic justice really does nothing, as those two trends are intrinsically interlinked. And until that conversation is held, which I have some doubts on, I doubt any changes in inclusivity or representation are going to have any more than surface-level effects.
"I would note, however, that racial justice untied to economic justice really does nothing, as those two trends are intrinsically interlinked.

That's a fair point.
But listening to marginalized voices *can* be a first step toward addressing the systemic issues they face. Until you know there is a problem, you can't work to fix it.
Yeah, race IS a social construct that was invented expressly as a basis for discrimination. But just because it's a social construct doesn't mean that it isn't A Thing. It has a crapload of historic baggage dragging behind it that isn't just gonna magically disappear, and because the current discrimination is real, and the douchebags like Dylan Roof who want to start a race war are real, and it's real that white cops can get off scot-free for shooting unarmed black people in the back.
Addendum: One thing we've missed here is the concept of unconscious biases. I mean, we all like to think we're not racist because we're not going out and punching dark-skinned people, but we all have our blind spots in perception. Even you. Even me (I'm trying to get better).
We're mostly talking race now, but I've seen a study where men are hecken terrible at judging how equal things are. Like, if a group is mathematically 50-50 men and women, they would say that was a female majority. And groups men thought were equal were actually only 30%-ish female.
Or college students after a class were asked to report the stats on who talked how much, and while the women students were relatively accurate, the men perceived women as talking more than they actually did.
Good post 🙂 I haven't been out of the country yet, but a lot of things you said fit with what I've seen and experienced. Like, place and community does make a huge difference. Obviously there's going to be some racism everywhere, but where I'm from, I see a lot less of it than what people talk about in other areas of the country. Upbringing and family also matters a lot, too. If someone's parents are reasonably stable, teach their children well, encourage them to get good grades, etc. then that person will be far better off than someone whose parents are abusive and/or addicted to drugs.
Interestingly enough, my parents have a lot of shared life experiences as well(difficult childhoods, lost parents, having their appendix removed, etc). And yeah, race didn't shield either of them from those realities. But one thing that's made a difference for them and for me has been the fact that they've worked so hard to improve their lives. There've been times when I've been very angry with them and had a hard time getting along, and I've had a lot of difficulties of my own, but in general I'd say my childhood was a lot more stable than theirs. We don't have a lot of money, but they always did things to give me the best chance at life, such as pushing me to do well academically and putting me in extracurricular activities that were good for me. That's a big contrast to people on both sides of my family that have made poor choices or had terrible upbringings.
Jo Michelle,
I understand your point, but what I tend to see is that people often talk about race so that they don't have to talk about class and race together. Talking about race by itself or class by itself is to my mind pointless. Perhaps on individual issues like this it may help, but as a general rule, one of the major problems with the "identity" wing of the left right now is that it has no coherent economic critique of the social problems our world faces, and often seems reluctant to address them (one suspects because much of the identity wing is actually fairly well off economically). The Sanderites meanwhile, do the same thing, thinking class should be the only thing we talk about (one suspects because the Sanderites are not doing so bad economically themselves). Both issues should go together. What I see with strategies like yours – not from you, but from other people – is just a tactic for dividing black working class people from white working class people like me. Which is neither a new idea nor racially progressive at all.
To Mike's point, yes those problems obviously are real problems in the genre. But they were produced by the fact that Christian speculative fiction has had heavily racially charged narratives of African-American culture from the start. If I was an African-American, I would not trust a genre that has produced Vox Day or novels like Gideon's Torch. White evangelicals seem to only notice African-Americans when they need to weaponize them for some policy objective. And frankly, without meaning to be disrespectful to Jefferson Scott\Jeff Gerke, I think writers may have been put off by the general right-wing trend of much of his 90's and 00's writing\activism (particularly the Y2K fearmongering). Jefferson's work falls rather comfortably in the "New Economy" neoliberalism of the right during that era. And I think that Jo is right to see this as an institutional problem in the genre. The point where I disagree with Jo is simply that I see it less as a problem created by persons (whether Travis, you or someone else) and more as a systemic issue that needs systemic, not piecemeil reform. And I do think the genre needs to ask real questions about promoting people like Vox. I'm not saying even don't publish him. His work should be judged on its quality, not other factors. But I'm frankly dubious that Vox's stuff would pass that test. What little I've read certainly has some innovative plot ideas, but hardly is characterized by great writing. I think his fellow writer (and sometimes co-writer) Steve Rzasa is much the better writer, and much more to be commended on his racial politics. With people like Rachelle Dekker, Morgan Busee, and Steve Rzasa in the industry now, I just don't even think the industry needs Vox anymore. Aside from John C. Wright and old Pournelle works, I don't really see much of quality coming out of Castalia.
And I think that all these discussions point to a deeper problem, which is the lack of viewpoint diversity within Christian speculative fiction. Here I am frankly distrustful of both the industry's approach and Jo Michelle's, because to me they are just different forms of Puritanism, which is essentially what both the Christian Right and Identity Politics tend to descend into. And frankly, I suspect the Alt-Right and Sanderites will get there almost as quickly. They produce terrible, didactic fiction, on BOTH sides of the cultural divide. Whether it's Socialist Realism, Identity fiction, didactic Christian sci-fi, or what passes for fiction on the alt-right, they all basically succumb to the preaching urge, and it's just very boring to read. Frankly, that's why I increasingly just read Japanese fiction – Mishima, Abe, Oe, etc – or the French Decadents. I've read many positive and uplifting books from the Socialist Realist, Identity, and didactic Christian schools. But I have not read many good ones and I doubt I will. And people can say that results from prejudice. I do not really care. But no one really wants to listen to hymns to tractors. As I mentioned to one of my friends recently: "The problem with Christian speculative fiction is that it thinks the artwork should preach a message. It never aims for a far better goal. That the artwork BE the message." And the same could be said about Identity works, Socialist Realism, and all the other schools of Artistic Puritanism.
Folks, I'm going to sign off from discussion. Nothing bad, I just try to keep a low profile on social media. If anyone wants to contact me, though, feel free. I just want to say, in conclusion, that I think Jo does raise valid points, whatever my disagreements with her. My apologies to Jo and to Mike if I communicated my position too vehemently. I just am generally scared of anything that reminds me too much of the Puritanism of my youth, and right now, every side in our culture reminds me of that. God bless you all.

Gardenia tree pests
I have two small gardenia trees they are being attacked by something that looks like salt and pepper on the leaves, and new buds are also sticky. I have tried an organic spray with lecithin but it only seems to distress the plant. It worked for a day or so but then they started drooping and losing leaves. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

And so it begins.
We have been saying for some time now that the days of the high street agent are changing. Spicer Haart and Tescos have still yet to announce what they are up to with their 'virtual' offering, but Your Move have actually made the first bold step.
Reported in the Negotiator this month (also not online yet!) Your Move have shut a Bristol office, kept the staff who now work from home and use their website as the primary selling vehicle. Although their MD is quoted as saying this virtual model complements rather than replaces the existing branch based model, I think we all know exactly what this means. It is akin to the chairman saying the football manager has the board's complete support. In other words, expect to see many more Your Move closures.
Just remember, you heard it hear first many moons ago!

World of Warcraft
Anyone into, or been into this in a big way? I kinda lost about 9 months of my life to this game, raiding 6 nights a week for 4 hours at a time. Reached the endgame too.
I'm pretty sure 99% of people on here won't have understood a word of that. I'm just wanting to hear other peoples opinions/experiances with it.
(sorry, couldn't resist)
tee hee
this is one of my favourite insults...
I've not played it
but I've heard it's the video game equivalent of crack?
I used to work for Gamestation, and the manager and assistant manager would go home early all the time because they had 'raids' to attend?
have long intended to get into this game
but haven't yet had the time or the money or the internet connection to even try it. i'll get round to it at some point in my life, i'm sure.
don't do it
you will lose everything... nearly
wait a fucking minute
is that marcofella?
hacked his account again, wrighty?
he was never much good at choosing passwords.
i have
a level 50 troll shaman on Twisting Nether, but i rarely play it.
Yes I play it but I haven't got internet in my new house yet
I suck though, I do other stuff and so the highest I've ever got is my current lvl 40 druid.
My brother is awesome at it though
We've got Kara on farm, but we're a low-pop RP server. T4'ed Nelf rogue for the record. Avoid PVP like the plague, not having a mouse and all.
Tried Sunwell Isle on PTR? That's a fucking challenging instance.
RP server?
Ha, yep
I hate PVP (keyboard turner) and constant lol / kek and typying like a retard would piss me off no end. RP server it is.
My brother despairs at my keyboard turning
Him and his mate (Who have 2 PCs set up in his room so they can play together whilst eating friend chicken) just arena all day and go round harassing people with "What's your rating? I'm PRO bitch"
keyboard turning
is fine for PVE, but a big no no for PVP. I'm a keyboard turner, yet i still got to Main Tank Black Temple. It is totally fine for PVE
I had a lvl70 Prot warrior
We were in Black Temple / Mount Hyjal. Only had the last few bosses left to kill when i quit. Took 6 months of solid 6 nights a week, 4 hours a night raiding. I think i only missed 2 raids in all that time.
I had full tier 4, then tier 5. I got a couple of pieces of tier 6 too.
I don't think anyone on our server
Has downed anyone in Hyjal yet, I'll check now...
What do you think about Blizz removing the attunements for them?
My laptop starts to crap out anything above 10-man raids, I can bumble through Gruul ok, but the Eye is just impossible at times. If I get the debuff at Solarian, we wipe - it's that simple. 2fps if I'm lucky.
Scared for the day I buy a nice shiny new mac for home and start visiting Maggy, SSC and all. But until that day I'm stuck with Kara, T4 and badge gear.
Update, nope
No known kills in BT or Hyjal. That's how low-pop our server is.
but a lot of the new badge gear, espicially from the forthcoming 2.4 patch, looks amazing. Well above t4.
I think removing the attunment is good. It enables guilds looking for new recruits to be able to pick and choose who they want. Most servers usually only have 3 or 4 guilds that are in BT/MH anyway, so they rely largley on server transfers for recruitment. So people who have been farming 5/6 SSC and 3/4 TK for a month or so should be geared enough for BT/MH anyway.
Also with the new requirement for Essenses, it will mean having to return to Vashj/Kael anyway.
Kael is an awsome fight. Truly epic, and totally worth the 3 weeks of wipes it took us to kill the fucker.
Yeah I drooled over
A set of daggers, both well over 100dps.
To give you an idea of how behind my server is, my guild opened AQ six weeks ago!
Did/do you ever retro to places like Naxx? 7 of us went in on a bored night a week or so ago and cleared what we could before wiping horribly on really insane respawns.
I feel like I'm in the middle of a Nathan Barley episode.
"That's WELL challenging instance"
Please tell me this is a wind up post.
Give me a nice brutal team based FPS anyday. Guns, not fucking magic.
Either that or some hardcore strategy games.
hardcore strategy!
^ what I'm looking for. I tested this fun PBM war-sim once, that was dead fun. Like 30 turns per "game".
I suck balls at FPS, always end up running forwards shooting at the ceiling. :(
Counterstrike, Halo and Team Fortress FTW
Yeah I've been playing a lot of RTS recently. Dawn of War yeah!
i'd mock
but i know that if someone released a Shadowrun-based game of this ilk I'd be totally in there..
"In September 2007 Microsoft closed FASA Studios (and the FPS official forum), and licensed the Shadowrun electronic entertainment rights to Smith & Tinker, a company owned by Jordan Weisman, an original creator of Shadowrun. Details at Smith & Tinker's website hint at the development of a MMO.[6]"
have you never played that?
it's one of my favourite video games ever :)
It better bloody
have Kitsune in it. Or other girls who are foxes in their spare time.
I.. oh shit. am I a furry?
kitsune was great.
What a fantastic inference
David Hume would be proud
6 nights a week?
Where do you find time to do this?
I used to play a lot, but then it started going really slow on my computer
And because, y'know, it's not worth playing it as much as i did over getting good exam results.
I'm lvl 64 elemental shaman on Darkspear server. I'm stuck in a rut with raiding etc as I can't find a decent guild and the LFG thing is basically crap.
yeah i hate myselff.
^ that
64 is just a race to 70 through Auchindoun, Ring of Blood and the like.
I can't get any good groups though
the quests are so fucking tedious so i cancelled my membership. I'll take it up again once i have some spare time
become pointless between lvls 60-70. :(
no its not
i am/was a shaman in wow. Unless youre restoration youre pretty much pointless. Everything is shit untill you get to 70 (apparently)
You obviously don't understand your class at all
the point of lvls 1-70 is to have fun levelling to level 70. Once you hit 70, the fun really begins. It's like saying "what is the point of the last 10yrs of my life!
thats not true at all
so what youre saying is that every quest, instance or battleground you do before 70 is worth nothing?
that isn't what i said at all. I suggest you reread what i said. Leveling a character to 70 is all about learning that class, and having fun while doing it. Once you reach 70, quests are mainly used for making gold, or gaining rep. And in some cases, nice weapon/armor rewards.
But lvl70 is (well for me anyway) where it all starts. It's where you start collecting your final blue items, then eventually your purple epics. ALL the 10/25 man raid instances in TBC are lvl70 instances. All season 3/4 arena items are lvl70 specific.
What i am saying is that getting to 70 is what it is all about. The journy is for learning the basics of your class.
I'd have taken a shaman in so many instances 60-70
Windfury or Grace of Air. Yes plz.
I r rogue.
i played for a little while
and it was ok until you get to the stage where everything is the same over and over again except with larger numbers. that took me about 2 months. so now it's scrapped and i have no plans at all on going back.
i refuse to play subscription games
it's like renting a game... if i buy a game i want it to be mine to play as long as i want for whatever amount i handed over in Game/Gamestation
i used to play
the quakes, bf1942 and return to castle wolfenstein online with a few people i knew but i don't see what's so great about momoporgers apart from taking over your life.
everquest is better
world of warcraft is for lazy unskilled babies
Fuck off this forum,
you loser. Its mine. Go back to nerds.com.

It's February 2019, and a team of researchers are busy studying Darvel Bay off the island of Borneo in Malaysia. But as they explore the sparkling blue waters of the South China Sea, they discover that something incredible has been hiding beneath the waves. In fact, it's a unique anomaly unlike anything that has been seen before.
Today, experts have catalogued a number of blue holes scattered throughout the oceans of our world – mysterious dark voids that stand in stark contrast to the lighter shallows around them. They are deep caverns that formed thousands of years ago, only to be swallowed by rising tides. But for modern explorers, they hold an almost mystical appeal that's hard to beat.

Must Visit Heritage Sites Around The World!
In an effort to preserve the cultural richness of any monument or location, UNESCO continuously lists some important sites and monuments as heritage sites. Spread throughout the world, these heritage sites are of much relevance to tourists and other visitors.
Below are listed top 10 of these heritage sites. Read through these and know more of their cultural significance.

Doesn't everyone hate traffic, to some extent? I know I do, and I experience traffic pretty frequently, to varying degrees. Traffic is definitely the worst. I hate it so much. Today I'll be talking about a very specific type of traffic, the traffic that follows you no matter where you go. That's what I experienced on the way home on Saturday, continuing the same misery I had because the car wouldn't start and its battery seemed to be shot.
Here's what happened: the highway was closed from exits 11-7, and unfortunately, I needed to get off at exit 7. I knew this in advance, but I forgot about it on the way home with all the stress going on because of the car troubles. So as soon as exit 11 hit, I needed to get off the highway and onto some backroads home. It took a while to get there, though. Unfortunately, there was traffic on the way to the exit and traffic as soon as I got off the exit, because everyone and their mother were using Google Maps just like me to figure out where to go next. So everyone was holding up backroads and everyone was flooding the streets endlessly because of the traffic and road work taking place, during the day too! The traffic followed me wherever I went, and it added an entire half hour to my commute home that day. I was worried that my car, in all its battery-draining misery, would stall out somewhere because it ran out of fuel or something. Thankfully, that never happened, because my anxieties don't know a damn thing about how cars work and probably never will.
At the very least, they know how to jumpstart a car now. That's something I wouldn't be able to say earlier, but I can say now.

Barcelona - Barcelona Сity Сentre - Eixample
Designed during the 19th century by one of Barcelona's most well-known urban planners and built with the work of famous architects and artists (such as Antoni Gaudi), the Eixample district is one of the most iconic areas of Barcelona. Street blocks in Eixample are built following a grid pattern that has become one of Barcelona's trademarks and which make the city easy to navigate, even for first-time visitors.
The district is often divided into two areas (right and left Eixample), each with its distinct character: while the right side of Eixample is known for its residential flair and exquisitely appointed properties, the left side offers endless shopping and entertainment opportunities and its residential real estate tends to be more affordable. The Eixample is also where some of the city's top landmarks are here, including Sagrada Familia, the Auditorium, La Pedrera, and Casa Mila.
Beyond shopping and leisure, the Eixample offers everything in the way of modern conveniences catering to both residents and tourists. And like most of Barcelona, this district is bustling with street life, but at the same time is dotted with quiet corners where time seems to have stood still and where one can soak into the city's eclectic and alluring atmosphere.

TMNT – Fight The Foot
Here's a brief short film that's making the rounds on the internet, in which a seriously dedicated TMNT fan decides he's not willing to wait for the new film being developed by Platinum Dunes.
He wants to see a re-imagined early encounter between April O'Neil and the mutated ninja turtle Raphael right now.
When I saw this the first thing I thought of was TMNT – Dark Knight style. Pretty cool.

In a recent paper by researcher Hironori Yoshida and his colleagues, titled 'Architecture-Scale Human-Assisted Additive Manufacturing,' the authors outline how they physically tackled a combination of relevant subjects and issues, regarding the applications 3D printing can be delegated to in architecture, as well as how to make 3D printed objects of a more sizeable nature.
Yoshida and fellow authors Hironori Yoshida, Takeo Igarashi, Yusuke Obuchi, Yosuke Takami, Jun Sato, Mika Araki, Masaaki Miki, Kosuke Nagata (The University of Tokyo), Kazuhide Sakai, and Syunsuke Igarashi (of Shimizu Corporation), with their ideas presented at Siggraph2015, offer up some entirely new ideas regarding 3D printing materials and scale. The annual five-day conference, held for its 42nd year recently in Los Angeles, allows for innovators to convene for an interdisciplinary and educational forum regarding technology, graphics, apps, and more.
Attendees at the conference may have been more in the mood for large scale take out rather than banquet food after hearing what the researchers have learned to make–and what they use for material.
According to Yoshida and his team, the future of 3D printed architecture may lie in the process of using those wooden handheld utensils you wield like a pro for inhaling sashimi or an order of sizzling beef with broccoli sitting atop a mound of fried rice. While not addressed in this initial paper, it would seem that their concept also offers an amazing opportunity for recycling in the future via restaurants serving Asian fare. As it is, the researchers have created what they call a 'human-machine' cooperation where, operating in a user-friendly environment, multiple issues are dealt with, to include the following innovations:
- New and better materials
- A complex dispensing device
- Efficient 3D printing on a larger scale
- Comprehensive guidance for the whole process, especially construction of modules
With the use of chopsticks as 'lumber,' the researchers state that this material is prime for creating a porous structure with its aggregate construction.
"The straight shape is easy for storing and logistics," state Yoshida and his team.
Using two different methods, jammed aggregation and stratified aggregation, the team has been able to come up with a clear and innovative method for elevating 3D printed architecture to the larger scale. Both methods, conceptualized through research and testing, employ the use of rows and rows of chopsticks which are accompanied by glue, and dispensed by an equally innovative device.
With jammed aggregation in 3D printing, the team had greater success. The chopsticks were dropped vertically, allowing for a quicker and easier process. Building oblique walls, they used the stratified and slanted approach. While successful and offering quality results, 3D printing with the stratified aggregation was higher maintenance and forced them to apply much greater precision in processes.
"The material was evaluated as a homogenous volume by the results from compression and bending tests," reported the team.
Matters get more complex though upon consideration of and greater exploration into the dispensing systems. With the manual system:
- A bundle of sticks is dropped into the dispenser
- Sticks and glue are deposited by rollers
- The glue feeder applies wood glue to the rollers
- 3D printing operators are able to control angle at which sticks are dropped
With the stick blower system, a turbo blower and 20m length hose are used to manipulate the sticks into the vacuum where they are sent into a vortex and then handled accordingly.
Creating a guidance system that offers efficient and impressive workflow, the researchers included a depth camera for 3D scanning the geometry of the stick-made structure which is looked at comparatively in terms of the desired outcome, or 'target geometry.' Able to assess whether or not the current 3D printed structure is up to par, this process allows the researchers to judge whether it is 'sufficient, insufficient, or excessive,' and make changes where necessary before 3D printing of panels ensues.
After that, the process becomes even more fascinating–with the most logical and simple of ideas facilitating the building of a 3D printed pagoda. A color code is projected onto the structure. After that, a pre-calibrated projector system is set up over the structure with markers that are pre-set to help with the final build. Coordinates in a total of eight sets are 'collected' through the depth and projection map, allowing workers to verify positioning before they begin laying down their first layers of structure.
In making what was a full-scale pagoda structure, the researchers were able to 3D print and assemble panels inside. Outside, they were busy creating a solid foundation with the proper weights, reinforcements, and calibration markers offering a path for assembling the pre-fabricated panels. After three weeks of work, the pagoda was finished, resulting in an organic looking porous 3D printed shelter.
The impacts of being able to create something like this with such an easily obtained and inexpensive material have enormous potential for self-sustainability, especially in developing areas. Aside from that obvious potential, the structures could be used in more mainstream areas like campuses, built quickly for events, and placed in other areas where these types of smaller, simpler, and more affordable constructions would be an attractive idea for specific budget, space, and deadline requirements.

Honduras: 10,000 migrants kidnapped in Mexico
Honduras: 10,000 migrants kidnapped in Mexico
By The Associated Press,
Wednesday, December 29, 2010 at 10:36 a.m.
MEXICO CITY — Mexico and Honduras have agreed to create a high-level group to combat all-too-common attacks on undocumented Honduran migrants.
Honduran Assistant Foreign Minister Alden Rivera says an estimated 10,000 of the 75,000 Hondurans who cross Mexico each year to reach the United States are kidnapped or held for extortion.
Rivera said Wednesday the group will include officials of both countries, and will focus on informing migrants about the risks they face and how to report such crimes.
The focus will also be on better investigating the crimes, which are often committed by drug gangs.
Mexico hopes to include other Central American countries in the group.

I finally broke down. I purchased a couple of new items for my summer capsule. BUT, it was a deliberate breakdown. Let me tell you what happened. There were two items in my capsule that I just wasn't feeling no matter how hard I tried: my striped sun dress and my light colored (maternity) shorts. So I replaced them.
Here's the thing, I have really struggled with body image since giving birth to Kit. It has been hard for me to feel good in anything I put on. My body has changed so much that it feels…foreign. I've always been pretty in tune with my body. We used the Fertility Awareness Method of birth control for five years successfully and so I'm not kidding when I say that I knew what was going on at all times. Now my hormones aren't predictable, I bloat in places I never used to, I have gobs of cellulite, etc. I know that my body went through an incredible thing and I'm not writing this for sympathy or to complain. Sometimes it just helps to verbalize something. You know?
All that to say, the shorts and the dress were making me feel especially self conscious. The shorts were just too short and they really emphasized my muffin top and the dress was just too tight and short. What I don't want is for my capsule to turn into a punishment device and so I decided to break my own rules and get two items that I feel so much more confident in. And you know what? I'm not sorry I did. Here's the difference from what I would have done before though: I deliberated, talked to David, and stayed well within our budget. It felt good! What about you? Have you ever broken your own rules because something just wasn't working? Do any other post partum mom's struggle with this? Please tell me I'm not alone!
