The Ultimate Guide" width="360" height="142" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1119" /></a><br />
Every now and then a new guide hits the market that captures a niche or hole in information that no other guide has yet covered. Recently, I had a chance to sit down with just such a guide – the incredibly accurate and overwhelmingly detailed new monthly guide being released by <a href="http://msterilinn.warformula.hop.clickbank.net " target="new">Warcraft Formula</a>.</p>
<p>The idea is simple. You pay a small upfront fee for full access to a past library of <a href="http://msterilinn.warformula.hop.clickbank.net " target="new">Warcraft Formula guides</a> going back to the release of Wrath of the Lich King and every month, for a small fee you get the newest guide in the series. Each guide comes with PvP strategies, recent news in the game, class strategies, recent gold making options, action plans, and information that is as up to date as it comes, written as often as it is. </p>
<p>You also get a nice bonus in the form of an Action Plan that guides even the noobs among you to build an account from the ground up to be as effective as the pros out there. What <a href="http://msterilinn.warformula.hop.clickbank.net " target="new">Warcraft Formula</a> does is nothing short of astounding, creating a new product that allows users of all skill levels to start out with nothing and build their way up to pro status every month with sharp, pointed strategy guides. </p>
<p>It’s not a select guide – you don’t get a leveling guide or a gold guide or PvP guide alone. But, unlike the guys offering those guides, you get information that isn’t three months old and mostly nerfed. You get info as it is added to the game and you get strategies that no one else has seen yet. I was astounded at how much information is included each month in these guides. </p>
<p>To top things off, the guide writers – Brad Johnson and T Dub Sanders – are the geniuses behind Warcraft Millionaire and PvP Bible (respectively), making them the best possible sources for all the top new info in the game. You can’t get much better than the best around in PvP and the best around in gold making. If you’re looking for the next big thing in Warcraft guides, this is it folks – don’t miss out on <a href="http://msterilinn.warformula.hop.clickbank.net " target="new">Warcraft Formula</a>. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://f4f2beupnhu9qltvjctk3gzdl7.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=VIRTUALWARCRAFT" target="new"><img src="http://thisvirtualworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/cataclysm_my_ad_2-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="World of Warcraft Guide " width="300" height="225" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1111" /></a>World of Warcraft is a land of elites. It’s just the way it is. The game has been online for the last four years and some players have been playing the whole time, pretty much destroying anyone in their path to become the best around. So, it’s no surprise that people look for new guides all the time to help them get better and bump up to par with the top pros out there. Luckily, every now and then a guide actually comes along that can help you do that – becoming a top player in a land of elites. This time around, that new guide is <a href="http://f4f2beupnhu9qltvjctk3gzdl7.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=VIRTUALWARCRAFT" target="new">Warcraft Formula</a>.</p>
<p>To be a hundred percent accurate, <a href="http://f4f2beupnhu9qltvjctk3gzdl7.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=VIRTUALWARCRAFT" target="new">Warcraft Formula</a> isn’t a single guide. It’s a ton of guides, with a new one added to the mix every month. I reviewed the first couple of months for this review and they were top notch content. Each guide was 30 pages long and included three features, top news from the month, questions from readers, an action plan and a preview of the next month. Each feature was full of useful content that was designed to do just about anything you needed it to – from building up a powerful play through strategy for a Death Knight to creating a 10 man raiding group. It’s not hyper specific information, but it’s a heck of a lot more than the general strategies you get from the existing guides on the market. </p>
<p>To top things off, you get a whole bunch of extras with the guide. The first extra was the Fast Track Action Plan that Brad and T Dub provide. It’s a guideline that helps players figure out how to put together a good WoW account. Basically, it includes everything from an outline of how to build a character, choose your UI and the right class and professions to how to get into a guild, start up PvP and go about raiding. Essentially, it’s a route to stop making so many silly mistakes as you play through the game – a great tool for beginners and something even a few veterans could probably benefit from. </p>
<p>In the end, <a href="http://f4f2beupnhu9qltvjctk3gzdl7.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=VIRTUALWARCRAFT" target="new">Warcraft Formula</a> is a great new product that provides something I’ve never seen before in a WoW product. It is updated every month with a new ebook and all for a decent monthly fee with information about pretty much every aspect of the game not just a couple of select areas. </p>

Our minds are always seeking new ways to learn, and I have found through my own experiences that active virtual play enhances our ability to learn many times over conventional learning methods. We are virtual beings, living in a virtual world. We simply thrive on exciting virtual activities designed to encourage us to explore, create, and evolve in ways we can only imagine. In this moment I am excited to bring a glimpse into one such world, called Mingoville. Here is a virtual experience which has a lot of potention for learning, while playing!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take a few moments to visit a cool place to learn English and have fun&#8230; <a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndqZWoCRLNs' target="new">Mingoville &#8211; A Virtual World</a> </p>
<p><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ndqZWoCRLNs?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ndqZWoCRLNs?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></p>
<h3>From the People at Mingoville</h3>
<p>Like the Mingoville School you are familiar with, the new Mingoville World is also based on the belief that kids learn better when they have fun and when they decide when and where to learn.</p>
<p>In the Mingoville World, all activities and games are in English. We have developed a whole universe based on fun and exciting educational games and exercises that teach children English while they play online. </p>
<p>At Mingoville, we have been working hard to develop a virtual world where learning English is 100% integrated into all games and exercises. A virtual world allows kids to practice and learn English without even thinking about it. We hope you enjoy it and consider using this new teaching tool in your curriculum.</p>
<h3>Good News</h3>
<p>Mingoville is free. You have free access to the Mingoville School and the Mingoville World. However, it is also possible to buy extended access to the Mingoville World and become a SuperLearner. As a SuperLearner, the student will have access to more fun educational games and the possibility of buying clothes and other things for his flamingo.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How do I feel about Facebook? I will happily admit that I find it a wondrous thing to touch upon the glimpses of my family and friends whenever I wish; to bring their worlds a bit closer to mine, as I journey through time on this beautiful planet. I think it is pretty cool to touch base with people whom I would otherwise only see upon occasion, as they live so far away. I feel it brings us all that much closer, visiting in the virtual realms. </p>
<p>Surely there is simply not enough time each day to catch up on everything, yet it truly does not matter. Just a little peek here and there is enough&#8230; and more than enough most days! This is just how it is with Social Networks of this type. Especially if one is divided between business and pleasure.</p>
<p>The only downfall that I can see at this time, is that other people can find back doors into our private lives, wall posts, and even our pictures if we do not look through every aspect of the privacy settings. Not sure why, but Facebook makes it pretty tricky for those who are unaware of how to set everything within their account to keep their privacy within each of our own personal bounds. I would suggest looking through account settings <em><strong>very carefully</em></strong> to be certain that you are very clear on which information you wish to be seen, and by whom. It is not simply cut and dry, so do not be fooled into a false sense of security. Either pay close attention, or be very careful about the information you put forth to be viewed by others on the internet. It is nearly impossible to retrieve that which may become viral, in a short amount of time. </p>
<p>With that said, I am still happy to visit my peeps as often as time permits. Life is simply too short, and it is really nice to catch up with friends and family, giving us less separation and more of a sense of being part of the bigger world. Speaking of which, I would like to take a few moments to hop on over to my own Facebook and see how everyone is doing today.. Enjoy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://thisvirtualworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Richard-Garriott-300x198.jpg" alt="Richard Garriott" title="Richard Garriott" width="280" height="198" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-688" />I would like to make special mention of someone whose life and achievements crossed my mind recently. Richard Garriott has lived quite an adventurous life, as to bring about in a soul such as mine, just a bit of envy. Born in Cambridge, England, as the son of astronaut Owen Garriott, Richard, also known as <em><a href="http://www.richardinspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=About_Richard.Gaming" target="new">&#8220;Lord British&#8221;</a></em>, seems destined to carry a legacy of incredible experiences, on and off planet. Although Richard can accredit his <em><strong>claim to fame</em></strong> to his unprecedented success in creating the still popular game Ultima, he appears to be seeking new adventures in the realms of space, following in his father&#8217;s footsteps.</p>
<p>While my son probably played Ultima until his fingerprints wore off, I learned more about Richard Garriott after encountering a totally fun game called Tabula Rasa. Unfortunately for me the game got scrapped due to an overabundance of projects on the table, yet it gave me a glimpse into the fascinating life of Richard Garriott. Now, I know I have an oversized imagination, which seems to kick in, like every second of my life! Yet I believe Mr. Garriott surpasses even my own unlimited zeal for the extraordinary. A man after my own heart, I must say, and I would love to explore as much as this man has been privedged to delve into. In a world where we seem to set our own limitations, I am happy to see someone willing to take a chance and step outside of the bounds of conformity. </p>
<blockquote><p>Besides being a video game mogul, Richard has also maintained a thirst for adventure and exploration. Not only is he active in the adventure sports of scuba diving, hang gliding, sky diving, caving, and rappelling in addition to other water and winter sports, but Richard also enjoys taking his love of adventure to the next level. He has participated in two expeditions in search of meteorites on the continent of Antarctica during which he was able to witness spectacular views of the continent he still describes as the most beautiful place on earth.</p>
<p>Tracking mountain gorillas in Rwanda and dug out canoeing down the Amazon both seem tame in comparison to his deep ocean hydrothermal vent expeditions in order to study extremophile bacteria and his involvement in one of the first non-salvage dives to the Titanic. Richard also took part in the 2001 Atlantic Sands expedition which discovered and performed salvage operations on the world’s deepest wooden shipwreck which is believed to have sunk in a storm sometime around the year 1810.</p>
<p>Richard is an active member of the Explorer&#8217;s Club.  And in support of the traditions of the Explorer&#8217;s Club, Richard plans on taking the club flag with him on his mission to space. </p></blockquote>
<p>Well then, aside from wishing I could jump into Richard&#8217;s shoes and visit the atmosphere around this planet, I would like to thank Richard for the hours of roleplaying enjoyment he has brought to myself and the world. If anyone is interested in tracking Richard in his imaginative endeavors, please take a few moments to visit <em><a href="http://www.richardinspace.com/index.cfm">Richard Garriott&#8217;s Space Mission</a></em> to see what new adventure this amazing man has in store. And seriously, this mans home alone is as intriguing as his journeys. Richard is an avid collector of some pretty extaordinary objects and art. Did I mention I was fascinated with this man?? </p>
