This expansion is dead
I don't feel like leveling any of my characters anymore. My hunter is the only one I've leveled to 85, while my priest remains 82, my paladin 81, my death knight and warlock remain 80, my mage is 79, my druid is 74 and my shaman is 51. I can't even get myself to make that tiny push to 80 with my mage.
Professions are in an even worse state. The only ones I've leveled to max are mining on my hunter and herbalism on my priest. All the other professions are still at WotLK levels and I don't see any incentive for leveling them farther at this point, not with >500K gold in my possession.
I haven't even done a fraction of the quests in the new Cataclysm zones and even though there's ton of new lore and great stories, I can't get myself to level another character through them.
Even flying through Azeroth has lost its charm. I mean, I do appreciate it and IMO it's the single best thing to come out of Cataclysm but I've already got over it.
For me, this expansion is dead and I don't see what Blizzard could possibly do to make it better. In a way I guess it's just burnout after playing WoW (on and off) for so many years. I don't even feel like playing other games and I'm a die-hard gamer dammit! On the flip side, I have much more time to engage in other fun activities and hobbies.
Anyone else feel this way?

Couldn't have said it better myself. I have zero desire to raid or even run heroics. I logon and do a few dailies or do archaeology. Got alts at 80, 82, 84...can't even finish them. Started a worgen and got to lvl 15 before that died.

I am enjoying my 85 hunter, not only because this class is currently doing huge DPS in heroics and raids, but also because now I am able to solo a lot of old content that was hard or impossible on 80. Level 85 heroics are hard and I think this is great, everyone has been bitching about how easy and boring the WotLK heroics were back then. My goal currently is to get the Cataclysm Dungeon Hero drake which requires much less achievements than the Northrend drake.
And each week I am doing a full Molten Core clear to finally reach Exalted @ Hydraxian Waterlords, something I failed to achieve back in 2005. And then there's also a very very slight chance for the Thunderfury bindings in each run. :-D I'd level mining just for that. ^^

Considering I finally started moving into Cata about two weeks ago, I'm not burned out yet. Some of my guildies hate-hate-hate Vashj'ir, but I find that I enjoy it. (And that's after having taken two toons through it, too.)
So far, so good. I intend to make it into an instance sometime this week, but I'm not in that great a rush there. Better to study the fights first, I think.

The problem is not Cataclysm or any other expansion in general. The problem is the time you (player) spent on the game.
Think about it: how many pc/console titls are so good to stick a player for *years*, even considering the CRAPPY graphics, CRAPPY 3D engine, BUGS and so on?
It's perfectly normal to get bored of Wow, after YEARS playing it. In my opinion it has nothing to do with Cataclysm per-se, in that sense. I am sure that almost-new players love it and will stick to it for a long time.
I am starting to feel the same thing. I liked running the (hard) heroics, but now my hunter is full "heroic" geared and the only way to upgrade is to (once more) replace items with raid drops.
Raiding means spending ton of time, gathering people, roll, etc. I'm starting to feel old for this.

I started playing DC Universe the day it launched a few weeks ago. I was already on the search for a different game by that time and DC fit the bill. I haven't stopped playing it since.
It was pretty shocking to see WoW boredom hit so soon after the expansion, but it is what it is.
I read somewhere somebody was trying to make the argument... "When all you give me is more quests and more story, but you never ever change the rules, how could I possibly stay interested?" Cata made good on the quests, stories, bells, whistles, but was there anything new to learn? Anything that would truly count as a new experience? Not for me, and apparently I'm not the only one.
I'm sure we'll all be back. Sooner or later Blizz will drop a patch that has SOMETHING pretty irresistible and we'll feel compelled to tinker with WoW again.
But yeah...I'm behind ya all the way.

I feel your pain. It seems like this expansion has a big gap in it somewhere and I can't see how it could be fixed.
I dread leveling characters now. Even ones in the old world. I think it is the stupid linear questing design they use now. It takes away the fun of exploring on your own and picking and choosing the quests you wish to do.
Maybe taking a break from the game is what you need. I know it is what I need. DCU seems like a decent option and Rift might be a good distraction as well based on early reports.

Same here. I actually haven't logged on to WoW in over 3 weeks. Well, until yesterday, when I got to the character screen, said "Meh", then logged out.
Right now, though, Rift seems to be a really great alternative. Wonderful community and a pretty different style.
- January 31, 2011 at 4:19 PM
I could not have put it better myself. I feel the exact same way with the "on-rails" questing sucking the fun out of game for me.
I am still leveling my main (who is almost 85 now) but I have not desire to level alts any longer. Questing used to be my favorite part of the game and now I just want to get it over with.
If battlegrounds feel flat to me at 85 I may be gone again, at least for awhile...
- January 31, 2011 at 6:15 PM
It is certainly dead if your a solo player. Now let me state right off, I started this game never intending to ever group up for any dungeons. The LFD tool changed all of that. I come from a fairly soloish-mentality, but that is not this game anymore, and it certainly isn't what Cata is all about. So honestly yeah, if you are going to insist on doing things by yourself, you can go for alot more old achivements than before (BC Heroics are easily soloable even for a cloth character now). I myself am farming Shettek Halls and Magister's Terrace on my Mage for the mounts. But Cata was designed with guilds in mind. It's just a fact. And Blizz has gone out of there way to make it easier for players to get involved in the social aspect of the game.
As for the professions, Alchemy was a breeze to level with a herb alt farmer. The crafting profs are a different beast however. Since I have refused to buy any cloth off the AH, my Tailoring is just now getting to 522/525. But one needs to keep in mind that once you get to 525 you then have access to TWO Raid-level epics. This is the first section of the expac, crafting profs are SUPPOSED to be hard to level.
All in all, Cata is getting alot of things right IMO. Yeah, some of the heroics (Grim Batol and Stonecore) are murderously hard, but most of them are either just right or very easy (Blackrock Caverns and Throne of the Tides). Tol Balard is interesting. Arch is a nice casual time-waster (as long as you only do it on one toon).
There are things I don't like (Worgen for one, have been a total disappointment). But on the whole, the whole operation has been a great success. I agree, the expansion IS dead for a solo player. But coming from a former solo player, what I'm saying is that in the new world Blizz has created (new, better explained talents trees, LFG tool) being a solo player no longer makes much sense.

Heh heh I love it when lots of people agree with me :) Yes, it's definitely the fact that I've been playing the game for so long, through all expansions, such that even Cata, with all the nice things it brought, feels like been-there-done-that.
From what so many of you are saying, I have a feeling that Blizzard will really have to scramble with interesting updates during the course of this expansion, or else people might get bored quicker than ever.
@Anon the last, you must be new around here :) When I started this blog I was a hardcore solo player and wouldn't have anything to do with groups or guilds. Things have changed in the meantime. After the dungeon finder was introduced, I started running random dungeons like crazy and in fact that's how I've been leveling my last few toons. I've been dps-ing, tanking and healing dungeons. Besides, my youngest chars are in real guilds, populated by real people, but mostly for the guild perks because they are not yet high enough to run max level dungeons/heroics with guild members.

Perhaps it's just the hunter class? I too, have focused pretty much exclusively on my hunter since the release of Cata. My DK is still at 80 wondering how to play unholy DPS again in Mount Hyjal, and my Priest has cleared some of Vash'ir, but I just can't seem to get the urge to continue.
Cata did two things to me: it converted all of my toons to their DPS spec (DK had a tank spec and Priest had healing spec). I'll still use tank or heals in Wrath, but not confident enough in the mechanics there yet to try in Cata.
Also, still feel like the heroic / raid instance are so new that I'm lacking confidence to really jam on those so I do find myself waffling about with achievements.
I don't think the game is dead, but I do agree its a brand new experience that is a new way to play. I think I'm just getting used to that.
- January 31, 2011 at 11:33 PM
- Darth Solo said...
But I didn't even play with my hunter much. Just did some farming (which was pleasurable) and leveled him to 85. Then abandoned him there. I mostly concentrated on my druid, leveling him by mostly tanking instances.
It does bother me that they made tanking and especially healing so hard. I would have liked to try some more healing but eh... I'm not that good so I won't the frustration.

I left WoW before Wrath in October 2008 having taken 5 toons to 70 over three years. I returned last November in time for Cataclysm.
I've enjoyed leveling my arms warrior to 85 but don't care to go on with the others like I did before. I wanted a stable of self-sufficient characters but that's just too much trouble and not really viable anyway.
I know the dungeon finder works great but I still prefer to go it alone. I would consider proceeding with my professions but an insurmountable barrier exists: the Chaos Orb! If you don't run heroics over and over (and win the orbs) you can't make high-level gear.
That's game, set and match Blizzard! I really believe that playing for a month or two every couple of years just might be my MO now.

I feel the same way and have been trying to put my finger on why .. On the up-side, its given me some time to play some of the other games I missed out on while I was addicted to Warcrack .. Guitar Hero, the new Mario Bro, GTA4..
- Ret has been neutered. I'm doing less damage than lesser geared tanks.
- Ground mounts are dead .. I have no desire to grind for them anymore.
- Not enough new "fun" items. Where are the new fishing poles, train wreckers ..
- Random heroics for DPS are just frustrating.. Long queue time for a slight chance that you will actually finish.
- Playing since mid BC , I'm totally sick of the gear grind. My engineering goggles will be useless way too soon.
- Grinding .. I think you can only grind for so long before you start to realize it's just a cruel joke.

@Splce Mainbrace
"I really believe that playing for a month or two every couple of years just might be my MO now." well said. Unfortunately we still have to play full price for the expansion if we want to get in on it right away.
Ditto on the Chaos Orbs. I can't be bothered to work so hard for them when in a few months they'll be much easier to acquire.
I think this expansion is better played during the last few months when all the mats are cheap and well-geared people are running heroics like crazy.
@Alex I'm with you, especially on the following:
- ground mounts. There's really no reason to bother getting one, except for the level 20 mount.
- random heroics... I don't even want to think about them since I found regular dungeons hard.
- the grind has indeed become intolerable. Same ol' same ol'
The ret nerfs don't bother me a lot because I'm not a hardcore theory-crafter and number-cruncher and I just enjoy the feel of the class.

In my experience, the game improves as with your gear. When I was running around in average iLevel 330 gear, the Heroics were hard, especially in pug groups. Now that I acquired a few high end items (by chance and by the AH), I've gone through a several heroics without a single wipe. Just keep in mind, they require a lot of coordination for crowd control and the fighting style is dramatically different than Wrath. AOE is bad!
I think what is happening, is that Blizz is working hard to satisfy a large number of different types of players. Elite raiders who hate seeing 'casual' players (like myself) running around in full tier gear. Casual players who would like to fill pug spots in dungeons/raids but need to have the gear.
Their solution in Cata has been guilds. Get the players to work together to get guild based achievements. While working on the achievement, the players will get gear drops and in turn achievements that provide gear, mounts and pets.
On the other hand, they have made leveling up very easy. I've had one friend, level his shadow priest up 3 levels by simply flying around each zone and picking herbs. Nice way to get mats for alchemy and inscription alts and not have to grind quests.
If you're still bored, have you considered playing the other faction? The starting quest areas for the Horde have been revamped and include some quite different quest chains. The area around Undercity and those in the Barrens had a nice, non-grindy feel.. :)

Oh I'm not likely to play the opposite site, not until they implement cross-realm heirlooms. It's just that I've had my fill of WoW and there's nothing that feels appealing to me.
- February 17, 2011 at 6:35 PM
I generally agree with the sentiments here, not much else i want to say about WoW.
however, i do want to give DCUO another thumbs up and encourage others to try it. it's not a perfect game, but it is fun and does a lot of stuff right. i don't miss crafting or the auction house AT ALL.
- February 18, 2011 at 12:39 PM
- Darth Solo said...
Isn't DCUO more like an action RPG than a true MMORPG? I mean I'm intrigued by the concept and I love superheroes but personally I'm not a comic book nut and definitely not a major superhero fanatic. I'm a lot more into Star Wars but I doubt I'll ever get into the new SW MMO.
- February 18, 2011 at 8:08 PM
"Isn't DCUO more like an action RPG than a true MMORPG?"
I suppose, but i'm not sure what a 'true' MMORPG is. personally, i 've not played any MMO older than WoW. i haven't made it to 'endgame' yet, but DCUO plays very much like WoW, only no AH or crafting. there's still 'dungeons' and dailies and raiding and pvp and reputations to grind. and of course, lots of quests.
- February 21, 2011 at 1:22 PM
- Darth Solo said...
No AH and crafting... that's too bad. Is there any trading at all?
- February 21, 2011 at 7:42 PM
"Is there any trading at all?"
can't say for sure, there are vendors to buy gear from.
you might be more interested in xsyon. i've only watched videos, but the building concept seems pretty awesome.

- Darth Solo said...
Rift sounds interesting but from what I hear there's a fair amount of PvP and I really can't handle PvP in an RPG.
- February 22, 2011 at 7:18 PM
I agree about the raid content, but I've never been much of a raider. I'd much rather solo... and soloing is only dead if you don't enjoy making gold. XD
Put your main and all your alts in a gbank guild together. Then you have incentive to level for guild perks that can never be lost when some fool decides to blow up your guild. I've been working on alts (love how fast it is to level now) so I can have enough high-level toons to have one maxed in each prof. I've already got the JC-Alch-Ench trifecta, so I have plenty of gold to powerlevel profs and fill gear gaps while leveling.
- March 13, 2011 at 11:09 PM

I've got all professions maxed and over 500K gold and I don't feel any happier. This proves that money doesn't bring happiness (in WoW, doesn't apply to real life :)

the pvp is like wow, you don't have to do it if you don't want to. The thing that i find annoying is that when hte rifts and invasions come, they sometimes interfere with quests and quest givers. I have been playing since Beta and love it.
- March 19, 2011 at 7:00 PM
- Darth Solo said...
@Paul the rifts/invasions sound like the special events in WoW before an expansion like the plague or the elemental invasion, which also tend to disrupt quests and especially the Auction House! I can deal with that once a year but I'm not sure how it would feel if it happened on a daily basis.
- March 20, 2011 at 12:51 PM
I usually don't get into this sort of commentary - but I kind of agree. I actually think the pre-cata patch added a lot more than Cata itself. I've not even explored all the raids and stuff and I'm already kind of bored with it.
Rift is a re-skin of WoW, you have to play it for quite a while to get past that.
Every game has some serious flaws, but still, that was a little blatant, not to mention their WoW-based advertising.
Tera-online looks like a polished accomplishment so far, but stupid gamers are all just complaining you can't play naked young girls in the Western version.
Dang gamers just drive me crazy man!
- March 24, 2011 at 4:06 PM
- Darth Solo said...
I just saw a video review of Rift on GameSpot and, damn, does it look just like WoW! Who knows, I might just give it a try at some point. I wonder if it will have the same longevity as WoW.
- March 24, 2011 at 8:24 PM
Since Cata I've actually spent more time doing OLD stuff. I'm more than high enough to go back and solo old stuff that I didn't get to fully experience before, and that has been nice.
But I think I also go through different moods for playing. And I've spent less time on WoW and some more on SC2, and even played Lotro for a few hours yesterday (even hooked to my big screen for no good reason) and enjoyed that plenty.
- March 29, 2011 at 3:30 PM
- Darth Solo said...
Older dungeons and even old content does seem more appealing for some reason. I guess we like the nostalgia of times past.

Predatory charter marketing, sweetheart leasing deals for charter operators, decimated African American public schools now on Barbara Byrd Bennett's Hit List
A combination of outright lies, poor news reporting, and predatory charter school marketing schemes has created the latest "crisis" that Chicago Public Schools officials have manufactured in order to justify the largest mass public schools closing since Hurricane Katrina destroyed large portions of New Orleans and opened the doors to the privatization and union busting in that city. The November 27, 2012 release of a list of more than 150 Chicago public schools -- elementary and high schools -- that are supposedly "underutilized" confirms what Chicago Teachers Union offciials have been warning about for two months: the administration of Mayor Rahm Emanuel plans to close as many as 100 of the city's real public schools behind a smokescreen that claims the closings will "save money" in the face of an inflated "billion dollar deficit". The closed buildings, many of which have recently been rehabbed, will then be turned over to charters.
Chicago schools CEO Barbara Byrd Bennett and Mayor Rahm Emanuel are ignoring the facts about the actual cost of school closings and lying about the CPS budget deficit to create another manufactured crisis and scripted solution that provides cover for further privatization of Chicago's remaining real public schools. Substance photo by George N. Schmidt.Chicago's daily newspapers on November 27, 2012, reported an announcement by Barbara Byrd-Bennett, the latest "Chief Executive Officer" of Chicago's public schools (the fifth in four years) that CPS will put in a freeze on school closings beginning during the 2013 - 2014 school year — if CPS is allowed to close as many schools as possible during the 2012 - 2013 school year while evading the law that requires CPS to publish a list of schools to be closed this year by December 1, 2012.
Byrd Bennett's latest is accompanied by claims from CPS Communications Chieftain Becky Carroll are, as usual, ridiculous. The CPS talking points for several weeks have centered around three claims, each one they have simply been repeating rather than verifying with facts:
First, CPS officials have been claiming that the school system has between 100,000 and 200,000 "empty seats" (a metaphor, apparently, for underutilization of school buildings). Not once have CPS officials repeated these claims at a press conference or provided the public with any evidence of where these "seats" are located or how the number was reached.
Second, CPS officials claim that CPS is facing -- next year, not this year -- a "billion dollar deficit." As CTU officials have already pointed out, the Board of Education has routinely exaggerated these deficit claims. The last time CPS claimed a "billion dollar" one, when Ron Huberman was CEO of CPS, the system ended that same fiscal year with a $300 million surplus according to the school system's own audited financial report.
Third, CPS officials are again claiming that closing schools "saves" money, when in fact the manner in which Chicago closes schools (and then flips them to charter school operators) has been costing the school system hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenue and the rehabilitations costs that often accompany the closings just prior to the eviction of the real public school and the occupancy, at a lease fee of $1 per year, by the charter school.
The claim that CPS is facing that billion dollar "deficit" for FY 2014 has been refuted time and again. The most recent refutation came from the CTU's Kurt Hilgendorf during his testimony at City Council on November 20. Hilgendorf, a high school teacher who now works for CTU as a researcher and legislative aide, reminded the aldermen during the City Council Education Committee hearings that the last time CPS claimed is was facing a "billion dollar deficit" was before the FY 2011 budget was put through by Ron Huberman. In May, June, and July 2010, Huberman was claiming that "billion dollar deficit" figure (which he also put into his introduction to the CAFR). And yet CPS ended FY 2011 with a surplus of more than $300 million!
Critics had been pointing out that Huberman, who took office in January 2009 after Arne Duncan left for Washington, D.C., had been lying with his "Chicken Little" financial claims to Senator John Cullerton. Huberman's lie was to get a billion dollar three-year "pension holiday" of the Chicago Teachers Pension Fund, and it worked. The Illinois General Assembly voted in 2010, just before Karen Lewis and the new union leaderhship took over, to allow CPS to avoid paying $1.2 billion it owed to the CTPF. Had that $1.2 billion been invested by the pension fund during those years, the fund, given its returns since 2010, would have brought in around $200 million additional dollars and would not have been showing the stresses it currently faces. Instead, CPS lied and robbed the pension fund.
The current discussions call to mind two major books that outline the kind of reality Chicago is facing today.
On the one hand, there is the latest "Manufactured Crisis" as noted scholar David Berliner wrote in his book 20 years ago.
The Manufactured Crisis is immediately followed by some "Shock Doctrine" nonsense as reported by Naomi Klein in her book five years ago.
None of the current leaders of CPS were working in Chicago's schools when the last round of billion dollar deficit lies went viral, but though the liars may change, the lies never change.
The second bit of nonsense this morning comes from the resurrected Becky Carroll. In addition to peddling the "deficit" lie, Becky is also lying about the supposed "savings" CPS will get by closing schools. Carroll is telling reporters (while avoiding Substance, as usual) that CPS will save lots of money for each school it closes.
Not true.
History is the only guide for this, and the history of Chicago school closings shows how dramatically expensive a round of Chicago closings can be.
The majority of closings in the past decade (since the "renaissance" began under Arne Duncan) are costing CPS a fortune.
Here's how.
CPS rehabs the school building, as a cost of anywhere from $5 or $10 million (Bunche and Morse, to take two) to $20 to $30 million (Austin and Calumet) and then closes the school as a CPS school. The reasons shift like some shape shifting zombie show. Then CPS leases the building, freshly painted and rehabbed, to a charter schools (Polaris got Morse; St. Mel's got Bunche; a couple of strange charter thingies got Austin; Perspectives got Calumet) for ONE DARNED DOLLAR A YEAR!
But that's not all.
Buried deep in the fine print, CPS is also providing the charter school that's in that building with various services, from watchman to psychologists and social workers.
Nice scam. But Becky Carroll is, as usual, lying when she claims CPS is going to "save" a penny on the closings. CPS is going to waste a fortune transferring these properties into the charter schools' "portfolios." Just as CPS had been doing for ten years. And that's why Frank Clark and Barbara Byrd Bennett are going around prattling about how the charter piece is not part of the conversation about the closing and consolidation piece. Of course not.
First they will close these real public schools, screwing more communities. And a few months later, the predatory charter operators will get another sweetheart deal on a perfectly good, recently rehabbed public building...
If Chicago's daily newspapers and other corporate media took the time to drive around and look at the actual schools on the Hit List, and the charter schools, a different story would be told today. But since the game is usually played through a kind of "He said..." "She said..." reporting where the "facts" are simply quotes from people like Becky Carroll and Barbara Byrd Bennett, the facts on the ground are unlikely to get into print soon.

The Price is Right: Decades (iPad)
Published by
Developed by
Also For
DescriptionThe Price is Right: Decades is a video game based on the popular TV show "The Price is Right". It is the third "Price is Right" video game developed by Ludia Inc. for Wii and the first for Xbox 360, but the very first to allow players to play as their Mii characters/Xbox Avatars instead of Ludia avatars. It is also the first game of the series that is completely rendered in 3D.
The game starts in a backstage lounge, where the player is asked to help the lovely Jessica, one of the "beauties" from the show, to go through a series of "The Price is Right" VHS tapes. Jessica will put the tapes in the VCR and the player will be transported into the show, where he/she will bid on several items and compete against other players to win fabulous prizes and money.
In single player mode, the player will first go to Contestants' Row and bid on the selected item against 3 NPCs. If the player's bid is the closest to that item's retail price, without going over, he/she will then go on to play a pricing game. The player will then go to the Showcase Showdown to spin the wheel. If the player beats the NPC's best score while spinning the wheel (by landing on the highest number, without going over 1$), he or she will then go to the Showcase, just like on the TV show.
In multiplayer mode, up to four players can compete against each other on Contestants' Row, pricing games, Showcase Showdown and the Showcase. The player with the most money wins.
The Price is Right: Decades features pricing games from four different decades; the 70s, the 80s, the 90s and the 2000s decade. Each decade's set from the TV show has been faithfully recreated in 3D. There is one pricing game for every year the show has been on air, up until the year 2010. Among the included pricing games are Professor Price, Plinko, Hole in One, Golden Road, Spelling Bee, Rat Race, Pathfinder, and many others. The Xbox 360 version is also compatible with Kinect and features an online mode.

Leverkusen is known internationally as the headquarters of Bayer AG, the world-renowned chemical and pharmaceutical company. But there is much more to this industrial city, which has plenty of opportunities for relaxation thanks to its location in the foothills of the Bergisches Land region. Leverkusen is a place where urban buzz and village-like tranquillity exist in close proximity.
For a long time, Leverkusen was nothing but a collection of villages between Cologne and Düsseldorf that did not unite to form a town until 1930. A large factory had been situated here before that however. In 1863, Messrs Weskott and Bayer had opened Friedr. Bayer et comp. in Barmen, now Wuppertal . Later, they acquired the chemical company Leverkus and, in 1891, relocated Bayer's headquarters to a green-field site in Wiesdorf, today a district of Leverkusen. The businessman Leverkus named the settlement that sprung up around the plant after his family's residence – Leverkusen. Despite this heritage, Leverkusen is no longer merely a city built round a factory. It has its own identity and character that throughout the city you feel like you could almost reach out and touch. An example of this is Forum Leverkusen, a venue that has built up a reputation throughout Germany. This arts centre with its modern conference and meeting facilities hosts the acclaimed International Leverkusen Jazz Festival every autumn. The city's other major venue for concerts, plays and other events is the Erholungshaus, which dates from 1908 and belongs to Bayer. For many decades, it was the top address for culture in Leverkusen. Palatial Villa Römer in the district of Opladen is a good place to learn about the city's past. It is run by Leverkusen history associations as the 'house of municipal history'.
Modern-day culture can be found in Morsbroich House, a beautiful hunting lodge about a kilometre from the city centre, which is home to the Municipal Museum for Modern Art. Its collection encompasses more than 400 paintings and sculptures as well as some 5,000 prints. Temporary exhibitions are devoted to artists such as Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter, Andy Warhol, Günther Uecker and Yves Klein. Morsbroich House's Japanese garden is a year-round oasis of bliss and beauty that will delight anyone – especially you – and is so beautiful that it attracts people to Leverkusen in its own right.

Beside several greening projects in Asian metropolises the Manhattan High Line is another example for resindent-friendly and ecologically worthwhile reuse of disused industrial or infrastructural areas. The Standard Hotel designed by Polshek Partnership Architects, towers over the pedestrian aisle and builds the perfect vertical component of this new green belt.
"Andre Balazs Properties' Standard brand has no signature architectural style. Each hotel is unique: the brand is recognized for designs that are specific to and expressive of their context. Todd Schliemann's design for The Standard, New York exploits this mandate: the hotel is undeniably of its place; it blurs the distinction between public and private in a city whose identity is a s much about neighborhoods and intimacy as it is about anonymity; and it immerses itself in the activity of the street at the same time as its hovering form disengages it. Completed in 2009, the new eighteen-story, 204,500sf, 337-room hotel is located in Manhattan's Meatpacking District, a vibrant neighborhood on the City's western edge."
"The design celebrates the opportunities and challenges of interacting with the High Line, an abandoned, elevated railroad line, which has been developed as a new linear public park. The Standard engages its urban context through contrast, blending unique architectural and structural concepts within a complex and changing urban fabric. Sculptural piers, whose forms clearly separate the building from the orthogonal street grid, raise the building fifty-seven feet off the street, allowing the horizontally-scaled industrial landscape to pass beneath it and natural light to penetrate to the street. The building's two slabs are "hinged," angled to further emphasize the hotel's distinction from the city's grid and its levitation above the neighborhood. The juxtaposition of the building's materials – poured-in-place, board-formed concrete and glass – reflects the character of New York City: the gritty quality of the concrete contrasts with the refinement of the glass. The concrete grid provides a delicate frame for the exceedingly transparent water-white glass, the two materials unified in the continuous plane of the curtain wall. This exterior wall breaks with the traditional architecture of hotels, replacing opacity with transparency, privacy with openness and defining a new paradigm."

Holy cow! I was kicking myself because I had plans to make a chicken wire and cheese cloth ghost this year and missed the mark. Then I see this gaggle of ghostly goodness. I'm going to hang my head in shame and then plan on getting started early in 2012.

HANOVER, In. – A game featuring 15 penalties will always be called ugly but there is no such thing as a pretty loss. Instead, Wabash College's Little Giants will take Saturday's ugly win, 33-12, at Hanover.
"Clearly the penalties killed us, offensively and defensively," Coach Erik Raeburn said. "I think we had 400 yards of penalties, probably not quite that bad but I'd guess we're leading the nation in penalty yards."
The fifth-year coach had reason to be unhappy after watching his Little Giants get whistled for 15 penalties and 152 yards. But he also had reason to be pleased with a defense that played well in the first half and responded to a challenge in the second. The game also featured a bright showing by several newcomers.
A game of great plays, personal fouls, and missed opportunities swung in the fourth quarter after the host Panthers pulled to within a touchdown with just under nine minutes to play. Colton Zeck caught a two-yard pass from Dexter Britt to give the Panthers hope of an upset.
The hosts couldn't execute the ensuing on-side kick attempt setting up Wabash with a short field. Quarterback Chase Belton completed a 17-yard pass to freshman Eddie Cmehil and then another to running back Troy Meyers for 17 more. Meyers carried three times for 24 more yards.
Sean Hildebrand then caught a short Belton pass and fought his way across the goal line for a 7-yard score, 26-12. The junior receiver had six catches for 77 yards and finds himself in a leadership role this season.
"I was nervous because it was the first game of the year," Hildebrand said. "It felt good getting back out here; it was really nothing too different than other years. What I really wanted to do was help the younger guys and get them comfortable."
Wabash quickly put the game away after Hildebrand's touchdown with a defensive score on the following Panther possession. Austin Hodges returned an interception 39 yards for the final score.
"That one was kind of thrown right to me," Hodges said of his second pick of the day. He called the pick a stress reliever. "I was getting nervous it was 16-9 or whatever it was but until that play I was nervous out there."
Despite the ebb and flow to follow, Wabash opened strong scoring on its first possession. Junior college transfer Jon Laird had an immediate impact catching two passes, the second an 18-yard score.
"It was huge for the first game to put a drive together and get a score," Laird said. "The fact it happened be me who scored was cool. I'm glad to be here."
Laird's debut was impressive, leading the Little Giants with seven catches for 94 yards. "Since I stepped on campus it's been one of the greatest experiences of my life," he said. "I was telling someone else over here that this program and this school are just the perfect fit for me. This coaching staff and the players … we all just bond. 'Other people say come to our program, it's a family' but if you come to Wabash you bond and it really is a family. It's awesome that I'm here, contributing and playing with a bunch of great guys."
Wabash got back on the scoreboard on an Ian MacDougall 36-yard field goal, 9-0. Hanover's Pre-Season All-American Daniel Passaflume scored on a 10-yard catch to make it 9-6. Then former defensive back and now wide receiver Andrew Gibson made a nice move and found himself wide open for a 49-yard pass and run to put Wabash up 16-9.
The only other points of the contest came on MacDougall's second field goal, a 36-yarder, 19-6, early in the fourth quarter. "I have my faith in God and I have my faith I'll get a good snap from Alex Hirsch, a good hold from Cam Sobleski and if they do their job I just have to do mine."
Wabash did generate 356 yards of total offense, most from the passing game's 327. Hanover mustered just 11 yards rushing and 211 passing. Belton hit on 25 of 32 passes for 327 yards and three scores. Meyers rushed for 43 yards on nine carries. Jonathan Koop led Wabash with 12 tackles. A.J. Akrinbade had nine tackles and an interception. Pat Clegg and Nate Scola added seven and six stops, respectively.
Wabash (1-0) will open NCAC play Saturday at Denison.

It may seem like deja vu, but a Hollywood funny man and his wife and wanted by the law for skipping a court date. Again.
Randy and Evi Quaid are facing arrest warrants after they failed to show up for a court date in Santa Barbara, Calif., for a hearing about allegations that they were squatting in a house they once owned, reports People.
The deputy district attorney for Santa Barbara told the Associated Press that $50,000 warrants had been issued for the couple after missing their October 18 arraignment on residential burglary charges.
U.S. & World
This is not the first instance of the "National Lampoon" star being on the lam from the law. The couple was arrested last year in Texas on charges of defrauding an innkeeper of $10,000 by not paying their bill during a stay.
The case will be called again on October 26 and they have until then to turn themselves in freely.

Ingmar Bergman
Returning to Fårö after living in Germany for three years, Bergman undertook his second documentary tribute to the remote Swedish island he loved. Longer, more optimistic, and less ascetic than its predecessor, this film charts a calendar year in the life of the island's 673 inhabitants, many of whom he observes working tirelessly shearing sheep, thatching roofs, and slaughtering livestock, as well as going about various communal rituals. Distilled from twenty- eight hours of material, Fårö Document 1979 is a lyrical depiction of life's cyclical nature.

Finding a seatmate through Facebook
By the CNN Wire Staff • Updated 16th December 2011
Up next
Worry no more about who may be sitting next to you in seat 23A.
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is planning a service where passengers can use Facebook and LinkedIn as an aid when booking a flight.
"We say it will be social seating," KLM spokeswoman Gedi Schrijver said Wednesday.
Details are scant, but the idea is for travelers to look at people with similar interests and then book a seat. But don't worry if you don't want anyone snooping on your profile.
"Both passengers have to use this tool before they make an appointment," according to Schrijver.
The service could be ideal for business purposes and networking. But Schrijver said it is not intended as a dating tool. We'll see.
Launch of the service is expected in early 2012. There's no word on whether participants will be charged a fee.
KLM is not the first to link seating and social media.
In February, Malaysia Airlines launched MHbuddy, in which users can check in via Facebook and select their seats. During seat selection, they are able to view the seats of friends on the same flight.
For travelers in need of a memory jog, the service informs them of Facebook pals who live at their destination. They can also learn which friends may be headed to the same locale.
In August, Ticketmaster unveiled interactive maps integrated with Facebook.
"Fans can instantly share their live event plans by tagging themselves into their seats, enabling people on Facebook to see where they are sitting and which seats are available for purchase," the company said.

Luke 1:58-60 New International Version (NIV)
58 Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they shared her joy.
59 On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah, 60 but his mother spoke up and said, "No! He is to be called John."

The legend of Don Fehr continues. The NHLPA will end up with a very similar deal to what Paul Kelly would have negotiated, and it probably would have been accomplished without a lockout. So the membership gains nothing with Fehr, but loses at least a 1/2 year of salary. As I said the Fehr legend continues.
Uhh..I agree with the article author. If the owners would have just jumped to this offer to begin with, we would be talking about playoff races now. Right now it looks like it took fehr to get them there. Then again, the owners did get a half year reprieve from paying salaries. Time will tell if any damage done to the brand was worth that.
If the owners jumped right to this offer, the outcome would have been the same... Fehr would try to hold out for a better offer.

You've been to Ka'anapali Beach, Maui, Hawaii. You've done the luau, seen the wiggling hips and the free falling fire torches. But what you probably haven't experienced on Ka'anapali Beach, Maui is Cirque Polynesia at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa.
Think of Hyatt Regency Maui's Cirque Polynesia as Ka'anapali Beach's own sort of locavore entertainment, a thrilling South Pacific hybrid of Cirque du Soleil and one of those erstwhile Maui, Hawaii luaus. It's an enterprise poised to add a new vertical (literally) dimension to a tourism entertainment sector that's long since been on life support. ("If you just got married raise your hand!")
Cirque Polynesia is a show with mind bending acrobatic and aerial acts along with how-do-they-do-that daredevil stunts. Toss in a few spicy Polynesian dancers and you're reminded that you're on Pele's turf, not the chic, white-tented outpost of the famed Canadian-based troupe.
Ironically, in a state bursting at the seams with Polynesian dance, it's the one element that's clunky. Do we really need a Shaka Zulu chorus line of palm-skirted grown men and women doing a pom-pom squad routine to the Hawaii Five-O theme? Probably not, unless producers decided to leave it in to satisfy the one lone Jack who'd leave ineffably disappointed if at least one lowest common denominator element weren't in evidence.
The rest of the island style dancing is kept at a minimum. It's marginal (the face-painted native guys stationed on platforms stage left and right who provide the drum beats are better) but mercifully, not the show's focus. That belongs to producer and performer Enrique Valencia, who took over the show in February.
Valencia, son of a flying trapeze artist dad from Chile, and an aerial acrobat mom from Cardiff, Wales started performing at age five. Without a visual point of reference it's difficult to say how far he's come, but one would imagine he has put all of his experience into Cirque Polynesia.
The result is a show, the only one in Hawaii, that's nearly always exciting. Valencia has taken a smart approach, stacked it with performers with extensive circus backgrounds. It plays as such from the get go.
After a sort of stilted South Seas-esque opening that doesn't really go anywhere, Cirque Polynesia rockets into high gear with Rocko the Acrobat, who uses his shirtless male partner as both a balance beam and kickstand. In less than ten minutes, Rocko manages to hoist himself into positions that are fun to watch, and for this reporter, provide new respect for the shoulder muscle.
There's a captivating male and female duo silk net catch and release act, and a few minutes later, a mother daughter hanging perch/acrobat act. But take heed: this isn't any random mother and daughter, and not any ordinary perch act.
These two women are of the circus dynasty Wallenda family. As such, they make sure your eyes never stray from the stage. Or for that matter, blink.
One wonders what it feels like being launched off a beam to spin at a high velocity with no support save for a neck brace when watching the women, who, by the way, look more like sisters instead of mother and daughter. The Wallendas make it appear intoxicatingly effortless.
Spell casting music plays as the show progresses. A vertiginous spinning metal frame box act is performed, a tightrope walk is navigated and a don't-try-this-at-home balance act on too-numerous-to-count tiny cylinders and cans is accomplished. That takes the clock to about the 60-minute mark, and leads to the show's finale: Valencia and his Wheel of Death act.
Valencia personally constructed the 33-foot high Wheel of Death metal apparatus. It spins at a dizzying pace as he walks inside of the wheel—blindfolded—then on top of it—while skipping rope—and finally, just to give you a jolt, does a flip. A couple of near missteps along the way only further drive home the point that this is far from walking on sunshine.
The act is a punctuation note that leaves you giddy, breathless and totally in the moment. An hour and fifteen minutes whiz by and you leave wondering what you were thinking about before you took your seat.
Try squeezing that kind of feeling out of a luau, a good venue for mai tais and shake-it-baby thrills, yes. But for real thrills on Maui, I'd book a seat at the Cirque Polynesia.
NOTE: The show is set on an outdoor stage on the grounds of the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa. Seating is in rows of plastic armchairs. Take a light jacket if you tend to get cool in a breeze, and take a cushion if your posterior gets sore.

During my last stint in grad school I helped out with a conversational English program at a Knoxville church. The students came from a variety of places, but East Asia was probably the most common point of origin.
During one class–I don't remember how this happened–the topic of reenacting came up, and most of the students had no idea what we were talking about. As I tried to explain what reenactors do, one guy from China was absolutely bumfuzzled by the whole concept.
"They shoot guns?" he asked.
"No bullets. Just gunpowder. They line up like they're going to fight a battle and do what the soldiers would have done, but it's just acting."
"A game?"
"No, not a game. They use it to teach people about history, but sometimes they just do it for fun."
"And they wear old clothes?"
"They wear what people would've worn a long time ago. The kinds of clothes their ancestors wore."
He thought about all this for two or three seconds…and then he started laughing hysterically.
The notion that adults would put on historical clothing and pretend to shoot at each other for fun was absurd to him. Most of the other students were just as perplexed. They were looking at me like I'd just told them that some Americans liked to put on Mickey Mouse ears and fling salad dressing at each other.
Ever since that conversation, I've sort of assumed that reenacting was an essentially Western and white phenomenon, basically limited to the U.S. and Europe. But a few days ago I ran across something in an unexpected source.
I've been reading a biography of Barnum Brown, one of the twentieth century's most famous fossil hunters and a longtime collector for the American Museum of Natural History in New York. (He's the guy who found the type specimen of T. rex.) Brown was a product of the frontier, born in Kansas in 1873. In 1889, he set out with his dad on a wagon trip across the West to find a new home for the family. On July 4 they arrived at the Little Bighorn in time to see the Crow Indians engaged in what Brown's biographers term a "reenactment" of Custer's defeat.
Here's how Brown described it years later, as quoted in the biography:
Although this tribe had always been friendly to the whites, the Commandant was taking no chance, so he had two companies of the garrison under arms, and two Gatling guns trained on the battleground.
I well remember the occasion: squaws with papooses on their backs or in their laps sat all around the edge of the battlefield….
That's pretty much all the book has to say about this event, but it's a fascinating passage. I'd never heard of any Native American tribe recreating a battle.
I poked around a little and found a similar reference in another book. In her examination of memory and Little Bighorn, Debra Buchholtz says the Crow "were the first to reenact the fight in the immediate battlefield vicinity" on July 4, 1891 with Indians playing Custer's men as well as the Native Americans. That would have been two years to the day after Brown claimed he saw an Independence Day reenactment; maybe Brown had his dates wrong, or maybe this was some kind of annual event.
The Crow weren't the only people reenacting the battle around that time. Buffalo Bill Cody was staging portrayals of Little Bighorn for his traveling show. Buchholtz also refers to a 1902 reenactment in Wyoming between Indians and a National Guard unit and another with both whites and Native Americans at the Crow Fair in 1909. But it's the notion of the all-Indian reenactments at the battleground, held only a little more than a decade after the real thing, that fascinates me.
What was the impetus behind it, and how did the participants' motives for staging it compare to the motivations of modern-day reenactors? What role did this reenactment play in Native American culture, and how different would it be from the role of reenacting in modern American culture?

Anyhoo, since I'm the only one in the office today, I'm collecting some fun items mildly security related. If you find yourself with similar amounts of time on your hands, you may enjoy them. Guiltly pleasures are still pleasures, no? • Like, what could be more fun than hip-hoppers getting nailed at airport security checkpoints? They're always good for a paragraph like this: Police said they found a semiautomatic handgun and ammunition in Robinson's carry-on bag. He told them he didn't know the weapon was there, Stacho said. Hey Yung Joc, maybe you should pack your own carry-on bag. Otherwise, you might find some grenades or plastic explosive in there next time. You never know when those sneaky weapons are going to weasel their way into to your luggage. Really, someone should come up with a weapon-repellant you can spray on your luggage or something. Bonus points if any of my readers actually knew who Yung Joc was. Extra bonus points if you own one of his albums. • Here's a holiday bonus for school children: "We're going to make you less safe!" Merry Christmas! I went to school in Vermont, so I'd kind of like it if they didn't do dumb stuff like this. It makes my resume look worse. • The shoplifting angle is very important to this story. • Wired may make fun of it, but a biometric garage door opener is probably good for the security industry. • Glad I don't live in Vietnam. Writing about security is probably subversive. • Seems like this law should be universally applied, country-wide. I'm tired of this copper theft business. Still, it remains a good sales tool for integrators looking to secure job sites and municipal areas in general. For example, if the city of Portland had had decent municipal surveillance, maybe we'd still have the lights on. Seriously, read that Portland story. How on God's green earth does 21,000 feet of copper wiring get stolen without anyone noticing? It's insane. Security starts with people not being mindless unobservant automatons. Now I'm in a bitter mood again, thinking about my fellow Mainers being such dupes. I better get back to work. This blog entry isn't turning out as fun as I thought it would.
Holiday fun
I hope everyone had a nice Christmas yesterday. My kids certainly enjoyed themselves, and I managed not to get too bitter and guilt-ridden by the ridiculous waste and opulence that is the American Christmas season. Sorry, but growing up in suburbia can make you all self-loathing and stuff - try to ignore it.

Colloquium 2012
Dates: June 11-14, 2012
Time: 4:30-7:30pm, daily
In honor of its 40th anniversary, this year St. Mary's College's Graduate Program in Kinesiology will devote its four-day summer colloquium to Title IX, the 1972 mandate prohibiting discrimination based on sex in educational institutions receiving federal financial assistance. In particular, the colloquium will be devoted to issues related to gender equity in athletics.
In large part due to Title IX, the participation rate of girls and women in sports is at its highest ever. However, women are still underrepresented in athletic administration and girls in low income, urban communities have not reaped the benefits of Title IX to the same degree as their counterparts in suburban or rural communities. Additionally, Title IX's compliance requirements have often been misunderstood and its detractors have blamed Title IX when men's sports teams have been eliminated from interscholastic or intercollegiate athletic programs.
Accordingly, in addition to celebrating this significant milestone, the purpose of the colloquium will be to situate girls and women in sport today within an historical context, and to interrogate the original intent of the law, its required compliance procedures and practices, its intended and unintended consequences, and its limitations. A group of leading scholars and professionals will be invited to campus to address the department's graduate students and the community at large. All are welcome.

Belmont Abbey College's Affordable Private College Model
Belmont Abbey College announced the Affordable Private College Model that will serve students better, shrink general administrative costs by $1 million annually and refocus fundraising dollars on student learning and success.
This bold step is the second in a series to make private education more affordable and accessible. The first, a 33% tuition reduction in 2013, made Belmont Abbey College one of the most reasonably-priced private colleges or universities in the country. The new model takes effect in 2014-2015 with the goal of operating on tuition alone within the next three years.

FAQ About This New Model
Belmont Abbey College is announcing the Affordable Private College Model that will serve students better, shrink general administrative costs by $1 million annually and refocus fundraising dollars on student learning and success.
For most small, private colleges there is a "gap" between operational costs and tuition revenue. In the past, the only way to close that gap was to raise tuition or rely on endowment earnings or annual donations. With this new model, we've found ways to run the College more efficiently, serve our students better and eliminate the gap so fundraising dollars can be invested in student learning and success.
As a national leader in higher education financial reform, Belmont Abbey College is committed to making a private college education more affordable and accessible. This bold move is the second in a series of efforts to do so. The first was a tuition reduction by 33% last year. The ever widening divide between the rising cost of tuition and what students can afford to pay — coupled with the sluggish economy — inspired us to find a way to ease the burden for our students and their families.
The president had been considering this approach for some time. Providentially, he received as a gift, the book, Mind the Gap, by Dr. Richard Soghoian, headmaster of Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School in New York City. In it, Dr. Soghoian details the success of a similar model at this elite secondary school. A meeting with the headmaster and his staff was further confirmation to President Thierfelder that this model could work for a small, private college like Belmont Abbey.
Tuition does not cover the cost of operations for most colleges. Virtually all colleges must use their endowment earnings and/or annual donations from alumni, parents, students and friends to cover the gap.
As it is called the Affordable Private College Model, how will it make college more affordable for students?
Last year, Belmont Abbey reduced tuition by 33%. This new approach will enable the College to continue to hold tuition costs down and, over time, actually lower tuition and eliminate students' need for state and federal financial aid.
The first major step is the creation of a new administrative organizational structure that will better serve our students through improved processes, enhanced systems and a cross-trained staff. Simultaneously we will launch a new self-service website designed to provide students an online resource for their administrative needs.
The efficiencies gained by the reorganization will result in the elimination of some administrative positions and the consolidation of others.
There have been no discussions or plans for additional administrative staff reductions.
Starting this fall, current students will see a significant improvement in levels of service. A new Student Services Hub will open on campus and serve as a single source for all administrative functions, including class registration, financial aid, bill payment and more. Also, a new website called The Hub will serve as an online student services portal and answer more than 200 frequently asked questions by directing students to step-by-step instructions, tutorials and videos.
Belmont Abbey College will phase in the Affordable Private College Model over the next three years. Annual fundraising efforts will continue at the same level as before with a gradual diminution of funding for operations until it is no longer needed. Once the Affordable Private College Model is fully in place, all fundraising will be used for positive, non-operational improvements to enhance student learning and success.
Fundraising will continue and focus on student learning and success with investments in areas like the development of new academic programs, increasing the number of scholarships and enhancing facilities and technology.
Like any new venture, the development of a new facility and a new way of serving our students will take time for full implementation. However, we fully anticipate momentum to grow over time. Our students will see a raised level of service as early as Fall 2014.

PITTSBURGH -- To help cover construction costs for a new $4.2 million downtown location, the YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh sold corporate sponsorship and naming rights for the 42,000-square-foot facility, slated for a soft opening on March 29 and a grand opening on April 24.
The downtown Pittsburgh branch will be named the PNC YMCA in honor of PNC Financial Services Group Inc., which purchased the naming rights through its charitable arm, the PNC Foundation.
In addition, insurer Highmark Inc. purchased naming rights for the main fitness area on the facility's second floor, which will be called the Highmark Wellness Center. The center will feature treadmills and ellipticals overlooking the city's Market Square area.
The Y's aquatics area, which features a 25-meter indoor pool, will be named the Reed Smith Aquatics Center after the Reed Smith LLP law firm. And the contractor for the PNC YMCA, Massaro Corp., bought the rights to the facility's lobby, which will be called the Massaro Welcome Center.
Y officials declined to disclose the financial terms and length of the agreements.
"The commitment of these three organizations together is financially meaningful," Bill Demchak, senior vice chairman of PNC and a YMCA board member, told local media. "It will help ensure the programs offered by the Y and the membership experience is the best available."

If you thought Tomcat could not get any better, you thought wrong. Tomcat 7 introduces what is called Parallel Deployment.
Simply put, parallel deployment is the ability to deploy more than one version of your web application in parallel, making all versions available under the exact same URL.
Think about this for a minute. If you have a new version of your application, you can simply drop it into the Tomcat that is running the old one and it will Just Work™. In fact, they will both work. Tomcat handles all session management and traffic routing between application versions. No need to restart Tomcat. No need to stop processing requests. No need to talk to your boss about downtime. No need for your boss to talk to any customers about downtime.
The people who created this feature chose a surprisingly easy solution for how to tell Tomcat what is an alternate version of what. All you have to do is tack ## onto the WAR's file name. Simple and effective, if a bit odd-looking.
There are a few things to consider when you want to start using versioned WAR files with your Tomcat server. So before you go off and change the deployment strategy at your company, check off the list below.
1) Internal caches should be write-through and expire quickly
2) You need sessions to be enabled
3) Where does logging go?
4) Disk files and directories need to be sharable
5) No TCP socket listeners
6) Your apps must be able to undeploy
For the complete walk-through and details on the items on the checklist, read more on http://java-monitor.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1288

Any specific type of bread that's preferable? And I'm not sure if I will be able to find Heinz beans, but I will certainly look.
cant believe i missed the beans on toast discussion, its got to be hovis wholemeal bread, with a splash of lea and perrins sauce.....ahhhhh heaven.
