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>

Yet the good news is that we can pre-order it with a special promotion through Amazon (some restrictions apply), and possibly recieve the lowest price, before the release date of September 28, 2010. Now, I have not seen this movie yet. Although I tried to find the time, before I knew it I couldn&#8217;t find it in theatres any more! So I am really excited to watch it when it is released in September.</p>
<h3>Editorial Review of Iron Man 2</h3>
<p>After the high-flying adventures of the first Iron Man picture, the billionaire arms manufacturer and irrepressible bon vivant Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) finds himself nursing a hangover. But not like any hangover he&#8217;s had before: this one is toxic, a potentially deadly condition resulting from heavy metals (or something) bleeding out of the hardware he&#8217;s installed in the middle of his chest. This is the problem Stark needs to solve in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0021L8V1Q?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=thisvirtualworld-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B0021L8V1Q">Iron Man 2</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thisvirtualworld-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B0021L8V1Q" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, not to mention the threat from resentful Russian science whiz Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke), whose father helped create the Iron Man technology. </p>
<p>There&#8217;s an even bigger problem for the film: the need to set up a future Marvel Comics movie universe in which a variety of veteran characters will join forces, a requirement that slows down whatever through-line the movie can generate (although fanboys will have a good time digging the clues laid out here). Actually, the main plot is no great shakes: another Iron Man suit is deployed (Don Cheadle, replacing Terrence Howard from the first film, gets to climb inside), Stark continues to bicker with assistant Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and a weaselly business rival (Sam Rockwell) tries to out-do the Iron Man suit with an army of Vanko-designed drones. </p>
<p>Mickey Rourke is a letdown, burdened by a wobbly Russian accent and looking skeptical about the genre foolishness around him, and Scarlett Johansson has to wait until the final couple of reels to unleash some butt-kickin&#8217; skills as the future Black Widow. That climax is sufficiently lively, and the initial half-hour, including Stark&#8217;s smirky appearance before a Senate committee and a wacky showdown at the Monaco Grand Prix, provides a strong, swift opening. But the lull between these high points is crying for more action and more Downey improv. &#8211;Robert Horton </p>

I know, I am the Wilma Flintstone of the modern day technological world, and for someone who loves tech stuff and gadgets, I am certain this comes as a suprise! But hey, everyone has one, and I don&#8217;t like to chat on the phone much. Yet, I am so active, and I love to keep in touch with family and friends. Not to mention my big brother keeps telling me it&#8217;s not safe traveling around these days without a cell phone&#8230; sheesh! </p>
<p>So I am here to share my leap into the future with my thoughts on my new LG from AT&#038;T. Let me assure folks who are wondering&#8230; I simply love it! I am not in need of a lot of the features available, yet I sure love to text! I think texting is a gift from the tech goddess, and a cool way to say hello and keep in touch with my family and friends instantly. Having the qwerty keyboard is a huge plus! Life is too full to mess around, and I like efficiency. </p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<p>~ 3G-powered smartphone in black with 2.8-inch touchscreen and slide-out QWERTY keyboard; customizable and intuitive user interface<br />
~ Compatible with AT&#038;T Navigator GPS, Video Share, AT&#038;T Mobile Music, and streaming video from Cellular Video service<br />
~ 2-megapixel camera/camcorder; Bluetooth stereo music; MicroSD expansion (to 16 GB); digital audio/video player<br />
~ Up to 4 hours of talk time, up to 264 hours (11 days) of standby time<br />
~ What&#8217;s in the Box: handset, battery, travel charger, user manual, quick start guide</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BSH3Y0?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=thisvirtualworld-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B002BSH3Y0" target="new"><img src="http://thisvirtualworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/LG-Xenon-GR500-Phone-with-Qwerty-Keyboard.jpg" alt="LG Xenon GR500 Phone with Qwerty Keyboard" title="LG Xenon GR500 Phone with Qwerty Keyboard" width="200" height="180" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1031" /></a> So far, so good. I haven&#8217;t misplaced my phone, although I have to remind myself to bring it when I travel, hah! I am into simple solutions, so as long as I have text, sweet little alarms to remind me of how time flies, the ability to snap a shot on the run to capture those precious moments, and &#8211; oh yeah, speed dial for my favorite people to chat with, well then, I am set! </p>
<p>Yep, Life&#8217;s Good!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well then, this past two weeks has been a HUGE learning experience! No computer, and this virtual girl was going absolutely nuts trying to take care of business on a shared computer. My hard drive decided to take a dive, and despite all of my valiant efforts I could not revive it. So I now have a shiny new hard drive, and I installed it myself, and now have all the drivers and lots of cool stuff all loaded up and ready to go. So far so good, and everything is up to par, and my own expectations have been met. I like things smooth and efficient, and LOTS of power to back up my adventurous nature. </p>
<p>Now I can get back to work. My blogs need some new content, and I need to express my creative nature in a big way! I love researching new projects, adding spice to my daughters home taught activities, and I love to play. When I mix things up, it adds a whole lot more excitement to my virtual journeys. And I missed Pandora&#8230; I live for music!</p>
<p>So wish me luck, and I will keep movin&#8217; on, and I will eventually come close to finding all of my Favorites again. It is amazing how much I truly rely on my virtual travels in my quest for information, and to satisfy my bottomless well of curiosity. And taking care of business is a breeze when we can just tap into the world wide web to make Life sooooo much easier. Technology rocks! Let&#8217;s just hope my brain doesn&#8217;t freeze gathering all of this crucial information which is totally necessary to survive in This Virtual World. </p>
<p>Enjoy! <img src='http://thisvirtualworld.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>The site can be a bit slow to load, but the different areas are colorful and imaginative. The games are standard fare and girls can view videos featuring their favorite Barbie™ movies.
