Teldrassil (WoW) (from www.ignworld.com)
The island of Teldrassil, which consists of ancient trees, is known as the Nightelveshomeland.
I don’t know why I think Teldrassil is mysterious every time I see it.
No one can answer me, the only one who is the eternal Darknight.

there are some things that are beyong my control,just like happiness!though i can be happy,i cannot control whenever i can feel it! (i am impressed by these words!the picture above is from that website,too!i begin to think the meaning of happiness)
what’s happiness?happiness varies so much!
i am happy when i get an item that i’ve been longing for,such as an epic mount!
i am happy when i meet my friend in WoW who disappered for a long time!
i am happy if i am cheered up by a song or moved to tears at the time when i am in deep sorrow.
i am happy when i am still given a chance once again after i made several mistakes by accident!
i am happy when i have a chace to make a change,to looking for the road that i want to walk!
i am happy if my efforts turn to be rewards!
i am happy if you bring me up at the time when i am down!
i can be happy,but i cannnot control whenever i can feel it!because my happiness depends on others…that’s bad!
actually,i can control when i can feel happy!if i want,happiness is not far away,happiness is by my side!
after breaking up with my boyfriend,i felt i am that sort of girl who can’t grasp happiness,i always let happiness slip through my fingers!
as an old saying goes:don’t cherish it until you totally lost it!i am now in that situation!anyway,i realized it!but it seems
late,i can’t sway him any more!!!
i wanna say:i am happy now,i am happy i once had you by my side,thank you for your care and love though your love for me has
gone,at least,that pure love existed in my lifetime!i won’t regret!
i know an ancient chinese poem "the four happy things in lifetime"!
1.Raining after drought for a long time 2.Meeting with an old friend in an alien place without expectation 3. Happy wedding night 4.The time of passing the imperial exam of the highest level

Become Indispensable!
If you’ve met some of the people that repair computers for a living, you might be shocked at their diversity of knowledge, experience, and behavior. Some are hands-down great technicians, but many seem like unprepared and ignorant kids who you wouldn’t trust your toaster to, let alone something as critical to your life or business as your PC.

An outstanding technician is one who with professionalism and courtesy solves all the problems a user has without introducing new stresses or worries. These tips are written to aid technicians in following a path that is bound to put them above the pack and become indispensable to their clients and business. Every one of these tips can be taken as a matter of habit and will certainly boost your confidence as a technician and the money you bring into your business.

1) Never panic.
Don’t respond emotionally if you do not understand a problem. Never scratch your head and act worried. If you don’t know what something is, it’s okay — you can figure it out. Part of being a technician is being excited about discovering and solving new problems. If you fear or stress over repairs, you’re simply in the wrong line of work.

2) Be professional.
First and foremost, show up on time. If you’re going to be 5 minutes late to your appointment, call the client and let them know. I once received a $20 tip because I called to let a client know I was running 3 to 5 minutes late. Before I arrived I debated whether or not to call, but the client stated specifically this was why he tipped me. Being professional means dressing nicely, taking a shower, spitting out your gum, and not using foul language. Think of it like you’re going to a job interview because every service call is essentially just that. If you want the client’s business now and in the future, you should be as professional as possible at all times.

3) Remember their name and give them yours.
Introduce yourself with a strong handshake and say, "Hi, I’m Dan, nice to meet you." (with your name of course and preferred greeting). Most clients will respond with, "I’m [insert name here], nice to meet you, too." Being social does not come naturally to most computer geeks, myself included, but it’s something you should constantly work to improve. Consider it a privilege that you’re meeting so many new people monthly and that this is just one of the cool aspects of your job. Remembering the names of every person you meet may seem difficult, so make it a habit and work on it daily. Write them down if you have to – they are that important!

When a client gives you, some stranger, the name of their kids, friends, or anyone else, they think you’re important enough to meet these people and know their names. Also these people are important enough to your client to introduce them to you – and many may become clients later simply because you’ve been introduced. Remembering every name is a surefire way to top-of-the-line service that nobody in town can rival.

4) Don’t be afraid to call in for backup.
If you can’t diagnose a problem, search the Internet. If that doesn’t work, phone a friend. Ultimately, people really only want to see their problem fixed by whatever means necessary. While they may be impressed by your recall ability of every computer problem ever encountered, they will be infinitely more impressed when you fix the issue correctly.

5) Have your tools ready before you arrive.
A good technician can squeeze by with only a few tools. I carried a notebook bag with a decent notebook, a flash drive in my pocket with some basic tools, a couple diagnostic CDs for running hard drive and memory tests, some paper, pens, blank CDs, and so-on. If you’ve been a technician for even a few days, you should know basically what you need and don’t need. Bring memory everywhere you go. You’ll be shocked how many people don’t have enough RAM which makes for a quick add-on sale and high customer satisfaction. Bring all the tools you require into the house. You should really only need to go back to your car for specific hardware replacements or upgrades.

6) Ask plenty of questions.
Don’t be the diagnostic wizard and try to figure out everything yourself. A few quick replies from your client can solve a lot of headaches. Here are a few generic questions to ask: When did the problem start? Was anything changed since the problem began? What are the symptoms or error messages you’re seeing? How do you get around the problem? Have you had any other problems in the past you would like to fix? Would you like to know how anything else on your computer can be upgraded or improved? Do you want your computer to do anything it currently cannot do?

7) Write down all problems and check them off as you fix them.
When paired with your geek mind, paper and a pen are about the most useful tools in your arsenal. Write down all the answers to the questions you’ve asked (see #6) and begin connecting the dots. Write possible explanations for each problem. As you begin the repair, write detailed steps you plan to take to complete the repair (backup pictures, install hard drive, install operating system, reinstall drivers, install Quickbooks, etc.). Cross out the steps as you complete them. Verify that everything works with the client before you leave and show him what you did (See #10). This is much easier with written notes.

Formatting is never an option.
Well, almost never. Formatting to fix even a moderate software problem is a very irresponsible move. People might say they have no critical data (or only photos, for example), but they probably installed plenty of codecs, web plugins, and other things that they use daily and take for granted. They may have customized the fonts, the desktop settings, the shortcuts, theme, and more. Formatting when facing crisis is the sign of a rookie technician. Try your best to fix the problem correctly, researching if necessary, and only format if you’re certain there’s no other way or the repair would take several more hours without formatting (which is usually not the case). If you must format, make a huge list of everything the client uses daily to be sure that no issues are presented later when it’s too late to recover.

9) Answer any questions they have and let them watch you work if they want to.
Sometimes clients would ask me tons of questions while I work. I’m an excellent multi-tasker as most computer enthusiasts are, so I don’t mind. It’s fun for a non-techy person to watch a real technician dig into their PC and troubleshoot it. If you’re doing a good job you should be proud to show them. Avoiding a client’s questions is a sure way to lose repeat business and satisfaction.

10) Leave detailed job notes and a receipt.
Using your notes, reconstruct what you did for every step of the repair. Outline specifically what was replaced and why, to avoid issues later. Write a section in your notes for recommended actions a user could take to avoid the problem later. If you recommended additional hardware or services, mention why, the benefits, where to buy it, approximate cost, and so-on.

Add your e-mail address or phone number so the client can contact you personally. This way the client feels he is not stranded if the problem comes back. A 1-800-support or warranty number is not nearly as useful as a genuine personal contact. Save or print two copies: one for you and one for your client. Keep a copy so you can reference this visit later and remember exactly what you did and did not do. You will inevitably have to come back out to some clients’ houses – these notes will act as blueprints for the first repair so you can know what you’re in for ahead of time.

11) Know the major issues and don’t skip them.
While you can do most research on the web for specific issues, never rule out the most common issues for computer problems without doing a full diagnostic of all hardware and software. Spyware, bad memory, bad hard drives, corrupted drivers, and power surges will probably account for the majority of your service calls. Always test memory and hard drives. It does not take very long with a DFT (Drive Fitness Test) quick test and a MemTest scan using Ultimate Boot CD. Also, with home networking, you’ll replace a lot of routers, so always keep plenty in your vehicle.

There are of course millions of other ways to become a better technician and our future articles should expand this list. If you have items to contribute to our list, please comment here.

If you’re wondering how the focus feature allows you to utilize the new iPhone 3GS camera, here’s a quick demonstration I made in my kitchen.

You simply click the object you want to focus on (on your touchscreen) and it goes into focus. Also note the new camera takes 2048×1536 (3 Megapixel) pictures instead of the 1600×1200 (<2 Megapixel) photos of the older model.

In this world of constant war, you must choose your weapons wisely: you may be a blood-soaked warrior with a jagged-edge axe of phenomenal power, a maniacal warlock with a lust for forbidden magical knowledge, or a ruthless rogue whose stealth lets him kill his enemies before they even know he’s there.

You may also pick flowers.

Indeed, if you are either an alchemist or an inscriber, picking flowers is probably exactly what you do, no matter how blood-soaked, maniacal, or ruthless you might be. To you, however, the term "picking flowers" may be the sign of ignorance on the part of people who fail to comprehend what powers they mock when they poke fun at the exalted science of herbalism. "Let them have their giggles," you might say to yourself, sheathing your axe in order to bend down and gather some lichbloom, "I’ll be the one laughing all the way down the battlefield with my Flask of Endless Rage! Muahahahaha!"

Endless power

Herbalism invites as much creativity as alchemy or engineering, practically begging roleplayers to talk with their companions about all kinds of background knowledge behind each herb, such as how each one came to be called by its current name, as well as its special properties. Feel free to just make stuff up here, and never worry whether or not what you say is accurate. Even with all manner of herbs in real life, there are countless tales about the origins of their names, as well as diverse claims as to their effectiveness in one use after another.

Lichbloom, you might say, is a taint of the Lich King’s undead energy, infesting the very land itself and turning it against all life. Or, you might just as easily argue that the herb is quite natural, without any undead taint whatsoever, and that the name merely comes from its ghostly appearance; before the rise of the undead in Northrend, you might claim, it used to be called "whispervine" on account of its spindly tendrils that remind people of whispers in the night (and in fact, this has an element of truth, as apparently the same herb node model was called whispervine in the Wrath of the Lich King beta). You can make up whatever origin suits your character most — if you are paranoid about the Lich King’s influence, then you should see all manner of Northrend items as associated with him in some way, all portents of doom for Azeroth’s peoples — but if you are instead a wacky inventor of alchemical elixirs, then perhaps all these gloomy names have different meanings entirely.

Uses of herbs can vary widely as well, quite apart from anything having to do with alchemy or inscription. Everyone knows that herbs are used in potions and glyphs, but not everyone knows what happens when you touch an herb to your skin, for example. Creative explorations of extra uses (or superstitions) like this is one of the great tricks of roleplaying in WoW.

To continue with the lichbloom example, your paranoid character might claim that one touch of the stuff on bare flesh spreads the corruption of undeath like a rash, and that the only way to counter it is to spread copious amounts of talandra’s rose on the affected area. Your wacky inventor, on the other hand, might profess that the name lichbloom is actually a misnomer, since its real name used to be "richbloom" and it is a well known superstition that anyone who rubs it on his skin is likely to get a large sum of money sometime in the near future ( when asked about the rash the paranoid character talks about, the wacky character could dismiss it as a mere allergy).

Herbalists also receive the special power of "Lifeblood," which can heal over time. How exactly your character does this is up to you, of course, but one possibility is that your favorite herb (or mix of herbs) actually has this healing property inherent in itself when applied on the skin or ingested somehow. Alternately, perhaps all this interaction with herbs gives your character a stronger connection to nature, so that you really can "absorb energy and nutrients from the earth" as the lifeblood tooltip says. Or maybe working with herbs has just made given your body a natural healing factor of some kind, even though your class may have no healing power or "connection to nature" at all.

Classy herbalists

Some classes (such as Druids) are obvious picks for herbalists, from a roleplaying standpoint, while others (such as Death Knights) don’t seem to fit as well. Let’s examine, for a moment, just one example of the driving motivation behind a member of each class with the hope of showing the broad diversity of attitudes and ideas which could drive your character to run around the world picking flowers. Feel free to adapt any of these ideas in any way you like, or to get inspired and choose something completely different.

A death knight might use herbalism as a way to maintain her fragile link with life, by harnessing the life energy in each plant and drawing it into herself.
A druid could take up a great interest in herbalism, not only as another connection to the power of nature, but as a kind of model for how he should live his own life. He may talk of the peacefulness of peacebloom, the wisdom of mountain silversage, or the passion of gromsblood. This would be particularly ironic if the druid specializes in restoration and can turn himself into a tree whenever he talks about herbs, almost as a reflex he doesn’t even notice.
A hunter might similarly associate herbalism with the power of nature, but her emphasis could be on the more practical uses of herbs as home remedies or cures for illness instead of all that philosophical stuff.
A mage may view herbs, particularly magical ones, as mysteries in themselves, which can be studied in great scientific detail in order to be turned into potions or glyphs. This would be the equivalent of the scientist in the real world who spends all his working time considering whether or not of gene splicing soybeans could help produce a better kind of biofuel for cars.
A paladin could look at herbalism as a kind of prayerful meditation. To remove her gauntlets and touch a beautiful herb such as sungrass or dreaming glory, would be to touch a ray of the Light itself. Herbs like lichbloom and nightmare vine, on the other hand, might make her feel the utmost contempt as she rips them out of the ground.
A priest may also take a religious approach towards herbalism, but in a very different way. A troll voodoo shadowpriest, for instance, might see nightmare vine as just the thing to use to summon the spirit of his dead grandfather for advice.
A rogue, of course, might see each herb as a potential poison ingredient, and discuss all the terrible (or hallucinatory) things that could happen if you were to ingest the stuff directly before using alchemy to purify it.
A shaman may see all herbs as expressions of the Azeroth’s elemental spirits. Icethorn, for example could be the tears of the spirit of water that lies trapped beneath the ice of Northrend, while Goldclover could be fingertips of the spirit of fire trying in vain to bring spring to that icy land.
A warlock may see herbs as essential ingredients in his diabolical magical experiments, and may claim that he also gathers other things to fuel his magic as well (such as goat’s bladders, tadpole tongues, and fingernails carefully removed from human hands).
A warrior might just collect herbs as a way of staying sane in the face of all the destruction and carnage she sees going on about her.
Whatever herbalism may mean to your character, it’s bound to provide endless opportunities for creativity and imagination, if you just connect the dots between your own character’s mindset and the names of the herbs you collect.

BBC NEWS | Africa | Yemen jet crashes in Indian Ocean

RECENT AIR CRASHES
1 June: An Air France Airbus plane travelling from Rio de Janeiro to Paris disappears in the Atlantic with 228 people on board
12 February: A passenger plane crashes into a house in Buffalo, New York, killing all 49 people on board and one person on the ground
8 February: A passenger plane crashes into a river in the Brazilian state of Amazonas, killing 24 people, most of whom were from the same family

So, yeah.. looks like that guy who landed the plane in the Hudson River needs to spread his knowledge to others in his profession. I’m sure the airliners are loving all this negative attention when travel is already at a low.

People be dyin’ fo real.
