My father had a hemoratic stroke on Friday or Saturday and was found Saturday morning.  He was taken off life support Saturday at 3 pm.  At present he is, and will remain, unconscious and breathing.  The staff at the hospital do not expect him to live many more days.

 

I will not be available to play as I will be travelling to deal with whatever it is that next of kin has to do in these situations.  I'm assuming I will be back by next week and will let you know if that is not the case.

I managed to out roll a 99 the other night (go me) on a Heroic Malygos Key. I'm posting this in the hopes maybe someone could point me towards a 25 Man Malygos Raid I could sneak into, snag the quest item, and sneak out without being noticed!

Doesn't necessarily need to be in guild, maybe a guildy knows of one on the weekend or something that might need a ok geared mage for a night or something.

I am moving this weekend and havn't even begun to pack so I'll need to take some time in my evenings this week to get that accomplished. I may be able to hop on Wednesday depending on what we are hoping to accompish but I am nearly certain I will not be on Friday. I am hoping to get internet setup at the new place ASAP so hopefully I wont miss any more time than that.

Recently I was scanning the inter-webs for a new background, something to do with my interests.  And as I have told many of you, or you have figured out yourself,  I am an avid armature astronomer and have had my avatar on the site as a nebula of some kind.   As I stumbled around looking for a decent wallpaper that dealt with some sort of astronomical phenomenon, which can be surprisingly hard to find, I ran across some work done by Adam Burn that outright astonished me.  It was a tough choice on picking a wallpaper out of his many magnificent works.  I finally settled on this:

Paradise Lost: A simply stunning artist rendering if the violent death of a massive star we know as a supernova.

Paradise Lost

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He has many more pieces of his work downloadable at: http://phoenix-06.deviantart.com/gallery/  I highly recommend you check them out, they are all amazing!  Also, If you know of anybody who has done similar pieces of art, let me know.  I love this kind of stuff.
