World of Warcraft: Runic Cloth Growing in the Expedition Armory

In previous posts, I examined the possibilities, or lack thereof, of cultivating Runic Cloth in Azeroth, as opposed to the blessed Outlands.

Today, I cultivated the Holy Grail of Runecloth (off the table, of course), the Armory Expedition. The Expedition Armory is a destroyed city south of the Honor Hold on Hellfire Peninsula.

It is a depressing place, haunted by 2 types of ghosts: the nice ghosts, who just walk and work and laugh and do other ghostly activities, and the bad ghosts, who you can interact with and who actually drop the runic cloth.

Once again, Grunman was appointed Runecloth farmer, a task with which he is becoming well acquainted.

There are 3 types of mobs, and these are their “official” Runecloth drop rates:

  • Unyielding Footman – 34%
  • Unbreakable Knight – 34%
  • Unyielding Sorcerer – 34%

To the inexperienced eye, these drop rates may appear similar. In fact they are. However, it SEEMED to me that Wizards were more generous in their Runecloth contributions, often dropping three at a time.

Grunman spent an hour going round and round the Armory, killing everything that moved, and here is the total tally:

  • Cash Loot – 12g 18s 19c
  • Seller’s Trash – 6g 2s 17c
  • Traveler backpack – 17g (yes, right)
  • Another green – Maybe 5g
  • Runic Cloth – 111
  • Netherweave – 16

The best thing about Expedition Armory is the respawn rate. Assuming the place isn’t full of pesky Alliance quest players, or God forbid, other farmers, you will never run out of things to kill, you can ALWAYS see your next victim, nor will you be inundated by newly spawned mobs . .

All in all, cultivating Runecloth there is time well spent, assuming you really need it. Of course, the green drops won’t be disenchanted into anything cooler than arcane dust (most of the time), but you’ll earn more than enough money to cover repairs and can level your tailoring at various points per hour. .

How to Repair Shoes or Boots: Shoe Goo or Super Glue?

Just when your shoes or boots start to feel comfortable, you notice a split on the side of the sole. Or a heel begins to separate. You can take the culprit to a cobbler to have the sole repaired or the heel of the boot glued, or you can do it yourself in seconds. There are a couple of options. Shoe Goo and an advanced or commercial grade cyanoacrylate (superglue).

Shoe goo is the favorite of the skaters as it will glue most things together and fill in some serious voids left by the road scraping parts of the shoe.

Super Glue and Krazy Glue are cyanoacrylates – that’s the chemical basis of Super glue or Krazy Glue. Advanced or commercial grade superglues have characteristics that make them a better solution than commercially available superglues.

Both types of products (Shoe Goo and super glue type glues) have their uses. Both types of glue will last quite a long time, so they are good to have on hand as they will not spoil and will be available when you need them. Both will dry flexible.

Shoe Goo can be purchased at hardware stores and some sports stores and certainly online. It is quite thick and comes in transparent black and white. In fact, it can be used to rebuild a worn heel into a boot or running shoes. It can be used to reattach a split to the shoe sole or heel, but since it’s so thick, I find a product like a high-end super glue (a commercial grade cyanoacylate) more useful.

To rebuild a heel with a sticky substance for shoes, you must first use some sandpaper to scrape the surface. This gives the glue something to stick to. Once done, just squeeze some out of the tube and shape it with a stick. Most Shoe Goo packages come with a stick to apply. If applying in layers to build a little thicker, allow 5-6 hours between applications. Allow 24 hours before walking in the boot or shoe. It dries glossy, but will disappear once you start walking.

If the sole has separated somewhere, you can carefully squeeze out some glue and then press the two surfaces together. This is not the best glue for this type of application as it can get messy, but it can be done with care. When you press the two surfaces together, some will come off and you can scrape with a piece of wood or metal to smooth the edge. Also let it rest for 24 hours. It will be flexible when cured.

How and when to use an advanced cyanoacrylate for a ‘shoe repair’

If you have a sole or heel that is starting to separate, the Shoe Goo can get dirty very easily and if you are trying to repair a very nice pair of dress shoes or boots this may not be the material to use. If you use super glue or Krazy Glue, you can also have problems because they often become brittle when dry and once you start walking in your shoes or boots, it is very likely that they will break again.

Commercial grade cyanoacrylates are made from the same base as super glue, but without the solvents they will dry transparently and flexibly. They are extremely easy to wear and being almost instantaneous, you don’t have to wait to wear the shoe or boot.

Some examples of types of situations in which you could use this type of super glue: the toe cap of the sneaker or running shoe begins to break; the heel of a boot begins to separate or falls off; two layers of leather in dress shoes begin to separate.

One of the benefits of this type of product is that it will be absorbed. This means that if you place a drop on the edge of a crack or joint that is just beginning to split, it will enter that space. You will be drawn to it. This means less clutter.

So for a split in a shoe, try to hold the shoe or boot so that the split is open as much as possible and so the glue can run into it. Place the tip of the spout on the edge and gently squeeze a drop into the gap. If it’s quite long, you may need to run the tip of the bottle along the gap line while gently squeezing out some glue. Set the bottle aside and press the two surfaces firmly together. This type of glue takes only a few minutes to set. Give it a few more minutes and you can walk in your shoes or boots. Be careful, as some of the glue may come off when you press the two surfaces together; support the shoe so that it does not spill onto the upper or other parts where a stain can be seen.

This makes for a great emergency solution – you’re ready to go to work or party and find your dress shoe heel is loose. Scoop out your commercial grade super glue, apply it, and in seconds you’re good to go.

Both types of glue It will be waterproof when cured. With these two types of glue and a bit of tape you can fix almost anything.

Home Water Pipe Restoration Options

Many customers ask what the difference is between copper, PEX, and epoxy cladding when considering new home plumbing. How do you know which one is better? After more than 40 years in the construction and remodeling business, this is what I have learned:

Copper, PEX and Epoxy Coating:

All pipeline restoration projects, regardless of type, require the Customer to perform the following before work can begin:

  1. Buy boxes, tape, wrapping paper, and permanent marker.
  2. Pack all items under all sinks and stay out of the work area.
  3. Move and relocate all refrigerators that have water service out of the work area. Replace when finished.
  4. Move washer and dryer away from work area. Replace when finished.
  5. Clean the area around the water heater.
  6. Trim or remove all plants around the water service and hose taps.
  7. Remove all items within 2 feet of all access panels.
  8. A minimum of half of the garage floor space is required for the storage and safety of tools, equipment and materials.

1Epoxy: Considering the multitude of hoses that run throughout the house and garage, the equipment and the protective mats on the floor, living in the house during the epoxy restoration process would be very challenging at best. This is especially true for people with disabilities, movement or vision problems, young children, and four-legged pets.

2With Cooper and PEX re-pipe, typically only on the day of transition from the old to the new system is the water shut off for the workday.

3Epoxy: Not all water pipes are treated. Pipes supplying water to body sprays from diverter valves in showers; Bathtub deck hand showers and the like are not epoxy coated. Therefore, these can develop leaks.

4 Epoxy: The customer is responsible for scheduling the required Construction Department inspection and must be present for the inspection. This requires the client to remain physically at home until the inspector completes his work (generally 8:00 am to 4:00 pm). The customer is also responsible for answering all questions from the inspector regarding epoxy work.

(For a side-by-side comparison table of the information above, see our website at https://www.dadsconstruction.com/articles/repipe-vs-epoxy.html)

Summary

All things considered, for the average home, new PEX tubing is best. Why? Mainly because it is a new, almost continuous piping system with fewer connections vs. tampering with an older existing system that typically contains weakened and damaged materials. When a new PEX tubing replaces all valves and fittings, the entire water system is fresh and clean, lead free, and free of mineral contamination and corrosion. PEX also appears to be better resistant to chemicals and gases from water companies that are used during the water purification process.

Your Most Important Launch Tool: Building Your List

Growing your business from scratch every day is not easy.

Maybe you’re not starting all over again, but if you’re working to grow your business online, it sure can feel like that. Every day is a new struggle to build your email list. Every morning you start from scratch for the day and work to see how many new subscribers you can get.

It can be frustrating to add new email subscribers. It’s hard work convincing people that you really want to help them, to provide them with great content that they are going to love. You work hard to write great emails and engaging blog posts, yet your subscriber list is slowly building up. You feel like the turtle.

You know this is a job you have to do, but boy, isn’t it easier to access your social media account and interact with your fans there? Pictures, videos, quick comments – these are the things that cheer you up and get your juice flowing. Be careful, this is where you will be dangerously close to becoming the hare.

Sure, it’s nice to have a massive following on social media. It feels good knowing that people respect you, that they enjoy interacting with you, but have you ever considered that these potential customers, these social media fans that you have are not yours?

It’s all about your list: your email list

In the world of online marketing, where everything is virtual, all you really have … is your list.

The list of people who love what you are doing will follow your every word and are likely to buy what you sell. If that valuable list of people who love you is only on social media, you are operating at the whim of a company that you cannot control.

What if you wake up tomorrow and Facebook is gone? How would that affect your business, your interaction with the customer? What if it was Pinterest, Instagram or Twitter?

In recent years we have seen how platforms modify their policies, change their algorithms and decide to start charging us if we want followers to see our content. This is not a way to build your business – at the mercy of someone else’s business success.

Whether you have hundreds or thousands of followers on Facebook, Pinterest, or Twitter, you will eventually need to move them to your email list if you want to be able to market them. This can be much more difficult than it sounds. It is easy for people to decide to interact with you on social media, there is very little commitment on their part. All they have to do is click a button. They can log in or out at will, they can block you or they can unfollow you and you will never know. Don’t let a large following on social media give you a false sense of your popularity.

Yesterday I replied to someone who is launching your product and even though you have thousands of followers on Facebook who love what you do and like your posts, you cannot make them buy. That’s because social media is for interaction, not for sales.

Building your list is personal

Getting into someone’s email inbox is much more personal than getting them to like or share something they’ve posted on social media. Instead of your message being one of thousands that flick through and “like” it without reading it, your message is now among the people who matter most to you – your family and friends.

Once someone trusts you with their email address, once you start offering them amazing content as your beloved subscriber, they will tell you that they appreciate what you have to say when interacting with you, when buying from you. They are allowing you to enter their inner circle. Make sure you deserve to be there.

Yes, building an email list is difficult. Yes, it can be time consuming, but it is also the best way to give your business a firm and solid foundation. You may feel like a turtle, but at least your home moves with you, not far behind for the sake of the next eye-catching novelty.

If you want to build an incredible online business, if you want to be able to launch incredible products to the people who respect and admire you the most, trust me. Your most important launch tool is your email list.

Does Windows 10 Home include Word and Excel?

Since Office is a free application that comes pre-installed with Win 10. Therefore, you do not need to subscribe to use it. What happens is that Microsoft has a hard time promoting this application. Some consumers just don’t know that there is an online version of Microsoft Office, which includes all applications, including Outlook, PowerPoint, Word, and Excel. However, Windows 10 Home does not include Excel or Word. Let’s find out more.

Recently, Microsoft has introduced a new Windows 10 application that is aimed at all users of the Microsoft Office suite. The name of the application is Office, which is an updated version of the My Office application. The updated version features a cleaner design.

To prepare the cage for the parakeet

From the smallest parrots with great popularity among lovers, they have budgets: their weight reaches up to 40 grams, and their body length does not exceed 20-23 cm. Budget cages are generally sold equipped with perches, made of wood or hard plastics. But after that, the owner of the feathery has to complete the interior with several real, rough and unattractive twigs, because if the parakeet never changes the position of his fingers and always clings to the flat, smooth surface of the standard patient, his fingers. It begins to swell, the rubbing hurts, and wounds and scabs begin to appear. If you don’t have fine sandpaper to cover the floor, you can spread it under the layer of very fine ballast (or very coarse sand) and a regular newspaper, which should not have color illustrations. Most printing inks are budget poisonous. Something else that can threaten your birds is the use of twigs from the coniferous tree, the yew, whose wood is also poisonous to birds. The best for this purpose is to use twigs from fruit trees.

WHAT DO YOU NEED?

My recommendation is to use transparent feeders, so it will be easier for the parakeet to find its food when it sees it. The feeders should be of two types, one for seeds and sand with stones and a larger one for vegetation and fruit. The sand can be from the sea, mixed with broken shells and mussels (but not the white that is sold to canaries), and the stones must be granite or flint. Budgies get bored with the same toys, so it is best to change them or take turns in the cage. It is considered that a mirror makes the loneliness of the bird more bearable – looking in the mirror the bird begins to imagine that it is not alone, but I consider that constantly looking in the mirror is not recommended due to the danger of inhibition.

Choose the most spacious cage that you can afford and can dispose of at home. It is considered that the ideal cage size for a couple of budgets is 91/45/45 cm, and when only one bird is going to live in the cage its size could be 2/3 of the indicated size. Do not rush with your purchase: many cages are sold in zoo stores, but you may have the opportunity to buy a suitable one already used. There are different constructions, so it is wise not to rush to buy something really good. You buy a house for your budgets, where you will spend your life, so do your best to choose it, where you will feel better.

When choosing a cage it is not bad to think about a few things. Is it spacious enough? Is it in the right shape? You may like a tall circular cage, but in “housings” birds often do not have enough room to move and spread their wings. It may seem less important, but closing the door should be safe. There should be a movable plastic bottom in the cage to facilitate cleaning. The cage sticks can be chrome or glazed and it is nice to have horizontal sticks not just vertical on the sides of the cage so budgets can easily climb. The perches should be located so that the birds can reach all the feeders and troughs and place one higher than the others. Do not install them near the sides of the cage, because by staying in them, the budgets will constantly brush the tails with the metal sticks. Prepare the cage before buying your feathery friend. And when you take it out of the store, put it in a cardboard box, handle it with care, and quickly take it home. If it’s cold outside, wrap the box, but so it doesn’t reduce airflow. In the hoe, wash the entire cage with very hot water, but do not use soap and washing detergents, use only special disinfection means, which are intended for bird cages. This is absolutely mandatory if you have obtained a used cage. Dry the bird’s new home very well. Place a sheet of very fine sandpaper on the bottom and spread fine ballast. After that, install the perches, feeders, and watering holes.

Birds don’t like the cage location to be changed often, so pick the most suitable spot for them on your floor early on. The place must be sufficiently illuminated, but it must not be directly illuminated by sunlight. If you have a glazed balcony from late spring to early fall, you can keep your birds there. You can place pots of large-leaved plants around the cage. So the birds will feel good. The balcony should not face south, because during hot summer days the bird can die from overheating. When temperatures drop, you need to bring the bird inside the flat. Be careful not to put it near central heating or other heating devices because the air is drier there. When you bring the birds, be careful because they make a lot of trouble, especially when they start to fly in the cage.

Budgets are known to like company – your feathery pet will feel best in the room where the whole family gathers. Choose a room, where you can let the bird fly freely, this is very important for its education. Budgies need fresh air too, so the room shouldn’t be suffocating. For exactly this reason, the bird cage should not be put in the kitchen as some beginners do. Steam that appears when cooking is harmful to birds. Except for that, it is very dangerous when flying the parakeet in the kitchen have a tragic end.

The cage should not be placed in front of the window, there the sensitive feathery creatures feel very sensitively the changes of atmosphere: the cold in winter and the burning rays of the sun in summer. The cage should not be exposed to drafts, very close to the central heating radiator or near the fireplace. It is not very important if the cage is placed on a special shelf for this purpose; can be placed on every solid table or shelf. But in a special grid the cage takes up less space, it can be put higher, which will please the birds and it will be easier to move it.

Parakeets suffer if they don’t get enough sleep. That is why you should cover your cage with a light material – it reduces the light, but the birds do not remain in total darkness.

4 features to consider when buying a Samsung phone

Samsung is known for its state-of-the-art mobile phones. Every year the company introduces a new phone with updated features. Not all features may be important to you as everyone has different likes and dislikes. So you may want to weigh all the features before deciding on a phone to buy. Below are the features to consider.

1. Camera

If you use your phone to take pictures frequently, we suggest you go for a smartphone with a better camera. With Samsung phones, you get a rear camera and a front camera. With the front camera, you can take pretty good selfies and with the rear camera you can record high-quality photos and videos.

Other features that you may want to prefer include auto focus, number of megapixels, and other settings that can help you take better photos.

2. Storage

If you use your phone for both personal and business use, we suggest that you choose a model that has a higher capacity. With more storage, you can download more apps, save more photos without worrying about running out of space.

The storage capacity of Samsung phones is between 2GB and 64GB. If you need to run more applications, be sure to choose a model with the highest capacity. However, you should keep in mind that models with more storage capacity are more expensive. Therefore, if you are on a budget, be sure to consider the cost factor.

3. Screen size / resolution

As time goes by, smartphones get bigger. Most users prefer a phone with a larger screen, but there is still demand for phones with standard screen sizes. Samsung manufactures phones that can meet the needs of all types of users. For example, if you like smaller screens, you can go for models with a 3.14-inch screen. On the other hand, if you are looking for larger screens, the Galaxy Note may be a good option for you, as it has a 5.5-inch screen. If you want to watch movies, work on spreadsheets on your phone, you can opt for a larger screen.

4. Battery life

If you’re on the go most of the day, make sure you get a phone with a longer battery life. Most Samsung phones provide a long battery life depending on whether 3G or 4G is enabled. With most Samsung phones, you can enjoy up to 15 hours of talk time. If you use your phone to surf the web on 3G, don’t expect the battery to last more than a few hours.

If you want more back-up time, we suggest you consider the latest models in the popular series. However, if you really want your phone’s battery to last longer, make sure to use WiFi instead of 3G to access the internet.

conclusion

To sum it up, Samsung smartphones come in many sizes and colors. You may want to go for the right smartphone based on your needs. The factors listed above can help you narrow down your options.

Trout fishing in winter

For the trout fishing junkie, winter can bring a feeling that rivals the morning after a team of professional soccer fans loses their final game and wakes up to find there is no more soccer for seven or eight. months. In other words, for many trout anglers winter means that trout fishing is over and they have to wait until spring to wet a line. The interesting thing about this phenomenon is that it doesn’t have to be this way.

Although generally not as productive as during warmer seasons, winter trout fishing can be quite productive at times if you follow a few simple rules. In fact, many states in the United States even have winter stocking programs that result in some nice catches even when the weather is less than what would be called “ideal.”

First of all, you need to dress appropriately, which means wearing insulted woolen socks and fisherman boots anytime you’re wading. A wool hat and a pair of fingerless gloves or glove liners are also in order as long as you are fishing for trout in the winter.

And the baits? In the winter I have always found that the saying smaller is better to be true and this fact is true for the size of the hooks that are used as well. Trout feed much less frequently in the winter and often prefer to eat small portions when feeding. Worms and larvae are good ideas for trout baits in the winter, as well as old waiting salmon eggs.

You’ll get trout stings that you might be used to winter trout fishing, and don’t expect the trout to “hammer” your offering. The bites will be very subtle during winter so be sure to watch and / or feel your line at all times and anytime something “out of the ordinary” happens, set the hook. Patience is the most important key to trout fishing during the winter months.

Next, you want to maximize the time you spend in the water, so try fishing during the heat of the day (which is when trout tend to be most active in winter) and try to plan your trout fishing trips according to the rising or setting of the moon. For those who do not know, the moon rises and sets twice a day just like the sun and during these times the fish tend to be much more active. Do an Internet search for the term “moonrise” and you will find the information you need.

The bottom line is that trout fishing doesn’t have to stop during the winter months. It may not be as productive as it is during the more comfortable seasons, but winter trout fishing can be an enjoyable and productive experience.
