LCRDA urges Bing to move out
Sean Rossman
Democrat staff writer
The Leon County Research and Development Authority wants Bing Energy to finally move its equipment out of the 5,500 square foot lab space it once occupied in Innovation Park.
The LCRDA, which manages Innovation Park, is asking the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Florida to let it seek legal remedies against the company in order to get the equipment out.
The equipment, the authority said, still sits in the Collins Building, where space is needed to build a 23,000 square foot business accelerator to help advance local companies. Court filings suggest the space could have been rented to another tenant if Bing would have removed the equipment when asked.
Bing, a Tallahassee start-up its local investors hoped would make millions off emerging fuel cell technology, was evicted from the building in April after it stopped paying rent. Bing has since filed for bankruptcy protection. The company also has been ordered to pay nearly $42,000 in back rent, utilities and fees owed to LCRDA, money which it says still has not been paid.
After the eviction, the LCRDA granted Bing license agreements, which allowed the company to have limited access to the building to give it time to move out. But the second agreement expired on Aug. 31.
In late September, the LCRDA asked if it could be granted relief from an automatic stay, which protected Bing from legal actions by those to which it owed money. If approved, the LCRDA could take actions to remove the equipment or force Bing to do it.
Leon County Commissioner Kristin Dozier, a member of the LCRDA Board of Governors, said Bing's equipment is not holding up progress on the accelerator, but there is interest in the available lab space. The LCRDA board will receive an update on the situation at a meeting Thursday.
"We have tried to help Bing as much as we can," Dozier said. "But the authority also has to protect ourselves. We have had a dramatic increase in demand for lab space, which is a really good indication that the entrepreneurs are working in this space and that they need labs."
Bing also is embroiled in two lawsuits with former partners. In July, it sued a former Florida State University professor and a graduate assistant, who Bing said stole trade secrets and started a competing company. Bing also took legal action against a group of Bing insiders the company said took controlling interest in another entity Bing set up in China.
Ron Sachs, president and CEO of Sachs Media Group and a Bing investor, didn't offer a reason why the company hasn't moved the equipment. However, he called the relationship with the LCRDA "cordial."
"We're very hopeful these proceedings will lead to a judicial, fair outcome for all involved," he said. "It's a great innovative energy, technology and product. There's a lot of pride that it developed in our Tallahassee community and there's a lot of hope that the viable business that grew out of it will have a future here."

I have a door in my mind. Maybe you do, too. Maybe it's just me.
But… Those whispers are louder, more persistent. The darkness seems so inviting. It's a place where I just lay in bed, under the covers and I don't come out.
I don't want to come out.
But I do want to come out.
When I'm on the other side of that door, I can hear my children. I can hear them laughing and playing, but it all feels so far away. That happy place seems like a place I'll never be again. When I'm on the other side of that door, joy is elusive. The more I try to get out of the darkness, the farther the door seems to get. Just like one of those horror movies where you're running and running - yet the exit, the door to safety just gets farther and farther away.
So, I can't give in to the whispers. It would be so…. easy…. to go through that door. And the darkness seems oddly comforting. The whispers sound as if they would embrace me. Comfort me. Keep me safe.
But I know that's not true. Once I cross the threshold, they will embrace me, but it will be to suffocate me. To hold me down and do everything they can to keep me there. Once I'm there, it is so easy to keep me there. They know the fight is in getting me to come through. I know that, too. That's why I'm writing this down. To help ward off those whispers. To help close that door. To keep the darkness at bay.

Hi Nelson, I have been using Androgel for several years now at 2 packets daily. This has really helped with fatigue libido and depression. About 6 months ago I started developing sebaceous acne. This is not just superficial acne, but deep, painful long lasting knots below the skin. About 3 months ago the acne became unbearable and I stopped the Androgel. Needless to say, this has done nothing to help the fatigue, libido and especially the depression. The acne has mostly gone away and wondering if there is anything I can do to prevent the acne from returning if I restart testosterone treatment? A friend suggested that the injectible form of testosterone may not cause acne as much. Any adivice that you have would be appreciated.
Some people are very sensitive to testosterone. Testosterone metabolizes into DHT (dehydrotestosterone), free testosterone, and estrogen. DHT causes the sebaceous glands to accumulate more oil which then gets infected and causes acne. Injections may cause it as much as gels.
Accutane a powerful prescription item - 40 mg/day for one week sometimes stops acne if started at the first sign or as directed by your doctor. Accutane is potentially highly liver toxic and has also been linked to depression in young people.
Sporanox Effective for some acne-like eruptions that are caused by fungi. Some doctors also prescribe antibiotics, like tetracycline, for acne with good results.
Anti-bacterial soaps - Use a scrubbing brush and wash twice a day, especially after sweating during a workout.
UV light or sunlight with moderation.
I also believe the zinc/copper ( 50 mg/3 mg) supplements can help decrease the incidence of acne while doing androgens. Zinc can also help to inhibit the convertion of testosterone to estrogen, which is the main culprit in the developement of enlarged breast tissue and fat gain in some men.


Hearing about children's reading at home after we return to school following a school holiday is an important part of our classroom routine. It's something that the children look forward to because it provides an opportunity to swap recommendations and share new books that they've enjoyed, and it's something that I look forward to because I get to find out about books that may have slipped through the net. This year, hot topics of conversation included Cogheart by Peter Bunzl, the Once series by Morris Gleitzman, Wonder by RJ Palacio, and The Midnight Gang by David Walliams. We also talked about various graphic novels and picture books that had been read (mostly Star Wars and spin-offs from The Phoenix comic), and discussed the fact that these are sometimes not viewed as 'real reading' by parents because they're 'too easy' and have pictures. This lead us on to a wider discussion about what real reading actually is and about what we might read during a typical day.
This reminded me of the Reading Rivers idea, which I'd heard about from Teresa Cremin, and had been meaning to try for a while. The idea was originally explored by Pamela Burnard (2002) and further developed by Gabrielle Cliff-Hodges (2010). It's a visual activity where the children make a collage (which can include drawings, photos, labels, etc) of all the text types that they 'flow through' during a certain time period.
I spent some time creating my own 24-hour Reading River so that I'd be able to introduce the idea to the class. Significant poetic licence was involved, as I'd have probably run out of blue ink if I'd printed Twitter logos for every time I actually 'check in' during a day. I tried to ensure that there was a variety of media involved and that it wasn't all based around books. After showing it to the class and talking to them about each part of the river in more detail, they were enthusiastic to create their own. They decided that they wanted it to be set as an extra homework task for the week.
As Julie McAdam et al concluded in their 2014 project Journeys from Images to Words, the idea 'increases awareness of what it means to read and can enable children to become more confident about the role literacy plays in their daily lives'. It certainly helped me to reflect on the range of reading I do each day as an adult but it also made me more aware of the different texts that my class and their families engage with. It's a simple, but useful way, for the children to connect their home and school reading, as well as providing teachers with a useful insight into the extended reading lives of their class.
Next week, some of the children are going to share their Reading Rivers during assembly and talk about their reading lives outside school. We're also planning to display some of them in the school library, as well as see if we can encourage any staff or parents to have a go at creating their own.

Trinidad seeing spike in cases of pregnant women with COVID
There has been an alarming increase in the number of pregnant women contracting Covid-19, director of Women's Health at the Ministry of Health Dr Adesh Sirjusingh said yesterday.
In the past week alone, 68 pregnant women tested positive for the virus, Sirjusingh disclosed.
He was speaking during the ministry's virtual media conference yesterday when he noted the spike in cases among expectant mothers.
"We have now, as of Monday, 383 pregnant women in our database who have contracted Covid-19," he said. "And I was here just a week ago and that figure was 315. So an additional 68 women would have contracted Covid-19 since we last spoke. And that is very alarming."
Sirjusingh said: "The numbers are rising and pregnancy is of course considered a high-risk situation. You're more likely to end up getting very ill or ending up in an ICU (intensive care unit), and worldwide we've seen maternal deaths."
Trinidad and Tobago has recorded one Covid-related maternal death to date.
Sirjusingh appealed to pregnant women to get vaccinated, noting the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine has been approved for pregnant women from their second trimester.
The Sinopharm vaccine is also approved for breastfeeding mothers, he added.
Sirjusingh noted the vaccines are being administered at mass vaccination sites and at antenatal and postnatal clinics.
"We are trying to get the vaccines in the major antenatal clinics. I know Eastern Regional Health Authority (ERHA) would have started this week. We're also targeting the postnatal wards in some of the RHAs, and this includes use of the Sinopharm for the breastfeeding mothers, as well as the Pfizer vaccination."
Sirjusingh stressed that the vaccines are safe, noting more than 300,000 pregnant women have been vaccinated worldwide, with no reports of adverse effects.
He said the side effects of the vaccine are no different for a pregnant woman than for anyone else.
"In terms of the safety, the mRNA vaccine lasts in your system for a very brief moment and triggers your immune system, and is then eliminated from your system. The vaccine does not cross the placenta. If you're breastfeeding, the vaccine does not go into the breast milk.
"The antibodies however cross the placenta and the antibodies are excreted in the breast milk and give your baby some level of protection," he explained. "We have not seen any adverse pregnancy-related outcomes worldwide nor here in Trinidad and Tobago."
In Trinidad and Tobago, more than 155 pregnant women have been vaccinated over a five-day period since the rollout of the programme, and the ministry is aiming to vaccinate at least 1,000 eligible women monthly, Sirjusingh said.
Daily cases rising
Covid-19 cases among pregnant women is however not the only increase the country has been seeing.
Dr Maryam Abdool-Richards, principal medical officer-Institutions, said the overall daily confirmed cases have also been showing a small but steady increase.
She noted the rolling average, which was around 200 since June and which was at 209 last week, now stands at 215.
Additionally, she said the rate of admissions of new patients continues to exceed the rate of discharges.
The occupancy rate across all Covid-19 facilities now stands at 37 per cent, she said.
Abdool-Richards also stressed the importance of vaccination, noting almost all the patients admitted to the intensive care unit with complications from the virus were not fully vaccinated.
"Ninety-nine per cent of persons being admitted to the ICU department have not been fully vaccinated, and 99 per cent of deaths from May 9 to present are persons who were not fully vaccinated," she said during the ministry's media conference.
"This can be interpreted as vaccines being a life-saving tool for persons and to prevent them from being hospitalised with Covid-19."

Max Verstappen criticized the FIA
Max Verstappen thinks the FIA officials treat Formula 1 drivers like "amateurs" over track limits
@vernermoolAuthor
schedule06:30, 31 July 2022
#verstappen#f1#longread
Red Bull driver Max Verstappen criticized the FIA for the policy of working with the track limits.
Max Verstappen: "Last night, they started talking about Turn 13, the exit, the dotted line was the track edge. There was a kerb and a white line next to it, which for me personally is the track edge. We have so many silly little things which make it also more difficult for them to police.
I don't know, as drivers, we always want to help and give our advice, but nothing was heard and for me, that's extremely frustrating. I don't want to fight with them, I want to just advise them, but it seems like they don't really care.
They actually, for my feeling, look at us a bit like we are amateurs. I don't think that's correct".
Verstappen said the view given from the onboard cameras on the F1 cars often did not give the right perspective to properly judge track limits.
Max Verstappen: "I think we can do ourselves a favour and make it a lot easier by adding a bit of gravel on the exits or whatever. Austria for example, why do we need track limits in Turn 4 and Turn 6? There's naturally gravel, and even if you go out by this much, you will penalise yourself if you go wide, or even if you go wide, you will damage your floor anyway. Your car is going slower.
They make it super hard for themselves. Of course people say yeah, just stay within the white line, but that's easier said than done. But then again, what I said about this dotted line as well, it's just so confusing everything".
Max Verstappen's Red Bull teammate, Sergio Perez, had his first laptime set in Q2 deleted for an alleged track limits, only for the lap to be reinstated after the FIA had another look and realised he did not cross the white line.

Penguins / Monarchs Series Preview
1 Comment Posted by nafsnep on May 5, 2015
They made it look easy.
For the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins in the Calder Cup Playoffs, it was a 3-0 sweep of the Syracuse Crunch by a combined 14-3, utterly dominating the Crunch in all facets.
For the Manchester Monarchs, they dominated the AHL all season from the jump back in October and ran away with the Macgregor Kilpatrick Trophy as the AHL regular season champions. The Monarchs were the first team to qualify for the Calder Cup Playoffs this season.
Coach of the Year in Mike Stothers? Check.
MVP and scoring leader in Brian O'Neill? Check.
But playoffs are a different animal. Especially when you are dealing with one team standing in your way in a seven game series vs. a litany of other teams on any given three-in-three weekend.
For the AHL's best team, it's the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins.

*if necessary
Brian O'Neill ran away with the scoring title by ten points over the second place finisher and Jordan Weal finished third in overall scoring. The Penguins, obviously, must come up with a game plan to contain or shut down this duo. Wilkes-Barre is paced by Conor Sheary's 45 points with Andrew Ebbett and Tom Kostopoulous a point behind. In the series against Portland, the Monarchs got the majority of their scoring from Michael Mersch (5-3-8) and Weal (5-2-7) and got scoring from 17 different players. It's a deep and dangerous Manchester team that can have any line from one through four attack offensively. Wilkes-Barre's postseason scorers are Conor Sheary (2-3-5) and Carter Rowney and Kasperi Kapanen (2-2-4 and 3-1-4 respectively) it's a smaller sample size from that of Manchester's based solely on the fact that the Penguins swept the Crunch in convincing fashion in three games.
Advantage: Manchester for now. The battle of who wins the series will probably be decided on which forward line produces the most. The Penguins have a potent scoring line which is their third line of Tom Kuhnhackl, Carter Rowney and Dominik Uher and have potential with a possible Oskar Sundqvist, Jayson Megna, Kasperi Kapanen pairing for the series and have long had the top line production of Sheary, Ebbett and Kostopoulos. But you are talking about two players on a line that scored a combined 149 points in the regular season against your top line of three players in Wilkes-Barre that scored a combined 133.
Both teams were 1-2 in the AHL in defense, with the Penguins allowing just 2.14 goals per game vs. Manchester's 2.32 goals / game. Colin Miller was near the top of the AHL in defenseman scoring, coming in third place in points and second place in goals to Binghamton's Chris Wideman, who won AHL defenseman of the year. The Penguins have more of a pack mentality when it comes to defense. For what it is worth these days, Taylor Chorney and Brian Dumoulin finished fourth and fifth in +/- rating and missed the final weeks of the regular season due to NHL recall duty in Pittsburgh.
Advantage: Penguins. Wilkes-Barre is deeper on the blue line than the Monarchs are. When you have to scratch AHL veterans Ryan Parent and Danny Syvret as your seventh and eighth defenseman, you are very deep on the defensive end.
It's Matt Murray's show and will remain as such. Murray won the AHL's Rookie of the Year award, led the AHL in shutouts, save percentage and goals against. A case could be made for honorable mention for Manchester's Jean-Francois Berube, who led goaltenders in wins, but some of the luster is knocked off of that shine because Berube needed five games and essentially the third period in the final game to advance past the eighth seeded Portland Pirates.
Advantage: Penguins
Mike Stothers won the AHL's Coach of the Year fair and square, but that may have been a cop out on behalf of the media, voting for the coach who coached the league's best team. AHL bloggers like myself don't get votes, but my candidates would have included Travis Green in Utica, Tom Rowe in San Antonio or Troy Mann in Hershey. Taking nothing away from the job Stothers has done in Manchester and coupling that with the defensive minded assassin in John Hynes here in Wilkes-Barre, where his clubs have led the AHL in defense for four out of the last five years, I see a push.
Manchester had the AHL's top overall power play in the regular season, edging Binghamton out by a percentage point at 20.7%. The Penguins were a modest 14th overall (17.2%) Manchester was 16th in penalty kill followed closely behind by the Penguins at 17th (83.6% to 83.2%) So far in the postseason, the Penguins have not allowed a power play goal and lead the Calder Cup Playoffs in power play with 42.9% conversion rate while Manchester is 13th (14.3%) on the power play and 12th (71.4%) on the penalty kill. I see a push initially. You can't take anything away from what Manchester did in the regular season on the power play and must know that the Penguins numbers on special teams in the postseason are a bit inflated for the simple fact that Syracuse was near the bottom in power play and penalty kill at the end of the regular season. While I don't see this series being won and lost on special teams, whichever team which gets the edge on the other in this seven game series will most likely advance.

Penguins in six. Again, may be a bit generous here, but there are doubts on both sides. For one, Syracuse didn't really put up much of a fight against Wilkes-Barre and anyone that followed the final month of the season that saw the Crunch lose 9 of their last 10 games would know that likely any team would have swept them out of the playoffs. For Manchester, they needed five games to dismiss the eight seed Portland Pirates and were in a 3-3 deadlock against the Pirates in Game 5 heading into the third period after coughing up a 3-0 lead in the game and getting blown out and shutout in Game 4. If Manchester allows the Penguins that space, Wilkes-Barre can and will capitalize. Both teams have firepower up front, but the Penguins are the deeper and better team on defense and Matt Murray didn't seem to miss a beat against Syracuse and there is no reason to believe that he cannot win the Penguins a game or two in this series. Ultimately defense and goaltending will win the day. I see a split coming out of Manchester this week then the Penguins winning at home Saturday and Monday, Manchester winning Game 5 to force it back to New Hampshire and the Penguins closing the series out next Friday to advance, for the third time in as many seasons, to the Conference Championship to face the winner of the Hartford / Hershey series.

A Show of Courage in Detroit
by David Burnett - Wednesday, May 20, 2015
Photo credit: David Lewinski
"I have a gun, get out!"
That's the warning a Detroit mother gave the three hoodlums attempting to kick down her door on the night of Feb. 17, 2014. Armed with only a replica handgun, the intruders thought she was bluffing—until she opened fire. The mother of two was armed with a Hi-Point TS4 Carbine (what some would call an "assault rifle") her husband gave her after a break-in just two weeks prior.
The crooks literally fell over themselves and quickly fled the area. Caught on surveillance cameras, the video went viral and illustrated what appears to be a growing trend in Detroit—citizens fighting back.
Detroit's woes are no secret. Joblessness, poverty, gangs, illiteracy and crime now plague the once-thriving hub of the automotive industry. In July 2013, the city became the largest municipal government ever to file for bankruptcy. Studies estimate 25 percent of Detroit's population have departed, reducing the city to numbers predating the Industrial Revolution.
Those who remain have watched Detroit decay into one of the most dangerous cities in the United States. In 2012, the Detroit Free Press reported 386 criminal homicides—the highest in two decades, and nearly as many as New York City, whose population is more than three times larger. The same year saw 1,263 non-fatal shootings, more than 400 rapes and nearly 5,000 robberies.
In 2013, a New York Times report found average police response times to Level One priority calls in Detroit were a staggering 58 minutes. The rate of cases solved stood at a mere 8.7 percent. Some police officials even took to warning visitors that if they came to the city, they should "enter at their own risk."
Despite rampant crime and slow response, Detroit cut the police department's 2012-2013 budget by $75 million, forcing 380 officers to either quit or retire early. The latest estimates indicate only about 3,000 sworn officers remain to protect 700,000 residents. Unable to rely on an overburdened police force, Motor City residents realized they had no choice: If they wanted to survive, they would have to fight back.
Officials say concealed carry permit applications have been on the rise, with about 80,000 permits now held in Wayne County alone. And Detroit is leading the state in justifiable homicide. The FBI estimated 15 justifiable homicides in Detroit for all of 2012, but nearly a dozen have been recorded in the first quarter of 2014. (The numbers should be taken with a grain of salt; the same records show only five defensive shootings in 2008 for Detroit, which then-chief Ralph Godbee disputed, saying their department recorded 35.)
According to MichiganLive, Detroit accounted for 81 percent of the state's 212 justifiable homicides from 2000 to 2010. (Of note, law enforcement accounted for only 44 percent of statewide justifiable homicides.) The publication further stated many more shootings are left out because of improper reporting. And, of course, the numbers don't reflect instances of armed self-defense where the criminal is not killed.
Many incredible stories of armed defense are cropping up all over Detroit already this year:
In February, a woman returning home was ambushed in her garage by an armed robber. Dropping her keys to distract the man, she drew her .38-cal. handgun and fired several shots to end the threat to her life.
The same month, a brazen daytime intrusion was thwarted when the homeowner heard the sound of glass breaking and retrieved a firearm in time to fire two shots at the intruders.
Armed with a tire iron, two intruders broke into a southwest Detroit home, only to be shot by the homeowner.
A woman in her 50s warned another daytime invader to get out before firing her handgun in self-defense.
And in April, a retired Detroit nurse armed herself with a handgun before intervening in a gang-style beating of a man who had stopped to help a boy he accidentally hit with his car when the youngster darted across the street in front of him.
Earlier this year, James Craig, Detroit's new police chief, commented to the media that criminals would think twice about attacking if more responsible citizens were armed.
"We're not advocating violence," Craig said. "We're advocates of not being victims. We're advocates of self-protection. We want people to be safe."
Of course, many in the media and other gun-ban proponents cried foul. Yet average citizens in harm's way seem to have taken the advice to heart, as illustrated by the numerous instances of armed self-defense the past few months.
"It does appear more and more Detroiters are becoming empowered," Craig told reporters during a recent press conference. "More and more Detroiters are getting sick of the violence. I know of no other place where I've seen this number of justifiable homicides."
America's 1st Freedom recently caught up with Craig to find out more about his perspective on curbing violent crime.
A1F: Your comments supporting citizen self-defense have generated a lot of controversy. Did you expect them to create this big of a stir?
Craig: You know, I really didn't, because it's a Second Amendment-protected right. Certainly going to Maine and having served as police chief in Portland for a couple of years, I remember vividly the state having a motto saying, "The way life should be." The thing I remember most: It was a good life, a safe city. There were a lot of CCW [Concealed Carry Weapon] holders. And so I had to believe that played a role in deterring violence.
Fast forwarding to Detroit, I've oftentimes pointed out that Detroit has what I've described as a culture of violence, which has been indicated by it being referred to as the murder capital, the most violent city in America. Then as I began to look at the number of CPL [Concealed Pistol License] holders here in Detroit, it was very different than when I grew up here and even started my policing career in 1977. [Now] there were a lot of CPL holders, a lot of good Americans, good Detroiters that were fed up with being victims. And they responded. And they responded in such a way to suspects in Detroit that was somewhat unique. There were two things I saw coming in the door that were unique: It wasn't always uncommon that suspects would be wearing body armor during the commission of a crime, and/or secondly suspects directing victims to disrobe. And the reason for both was to determine whether or not the victim was armed. I found it odd, having worked in other large cities where I didn't see it, not at this level of frequency.
And so, of late as you know, there've been a number of incidents involving armed citizens responding to an immediate threat to their life or what they believe to be a threat to the life of someone else. What I have said, and continue to say, is I believe responsible, good Americans have a right to protect themselves from an immediate threat to their life or to the life of another.
A1F: There have been a number of self-defense shootings making the news lately. Is this an increase in armed defense, or is the media just now noticing?
Craig: I thought maybe it would have been a statistical spike seeing that I've only been the police chief here for nine months. That seemed odd for me—I haven't seen that high a number of self-defense shootings anywhere I've worked before. And as it turned out, we're only up by one shooting this year compared to last year. So this trend actually started before I arrived here.
So it refutes the notion that I'm inciting vigilantism. That's far from the truth. When you look at Detroit, I'm happy to report we are driving crime down, and certainly the Detroit Police Department is doing a phenomenal job arresting the right people.
A1F: What do you say to people who suggest more civilian ownership of guns creates more problems?
Craig: Well, I say to them that every person has a right to protect themselves or their family from harm—from danger. Everyone has that right. This is not about inciting vigilantism, because in my view when you talk about vigilantism, you're talking about someone who has made a decision to do law enforcement's job—go out and enforce the law. This is not that at all. This is about self-defense, protection, an imminent threat to life, very different response. So I say, let's talk about the victims; let's talk about the number of violent criminals in possession of guns. Let's focus on that.
A1F: Do you think the requirements to carry a handgun are too hard, too easy or just right?
Craig: I think it's set up for responsible Americans. Many of our officers—and this is not something I've seen before—but probably 50 percent of our officers are also CPL holders. I find that interesting. But as police officers, they go through the same check as any other American who wants to purchase and carry a weapon. They're not exempt from it. So I think that the current laws in Michigan are good. It makes a great effort to weed out those who should not possess a weapon.
A1F: Why don't more police chiefs share your perspective?
Craig: I'm not certain of that. I'm sure there's some who disagree. This is not about pushing more guns in the streets, therefore making our neighborhoods and communities unsafe. My view is we should keep the guns out of the hands of the criminal, period. We're talking about good, responsible Americans, and they're not the issue. They're not out committing carjackings or burglaries or home invasions or street robberies. We're talking about a small group, a minority. I believe our focus should be on how to keep guns out of hands of criminals and those who aren't responsible.
I ask this question of my critics: "What do you think about criminals who possess firearms illegally?" Of course, the response generally is, "Well you should take them to jail." Well that's fine, but they (other criminals) still possess the guns, they're still out committing robberies. In the meantime, what do you do for victims and potential victims? What do you do for the mother alone with her children? How do you protect her? That's how I change the dialogue and focus on the real issue. The issue isn't more guns; it's more guns in the hands of criminals.
A1F: Officers are obviously limited in their ability to respond to a 9-1-1 call or rush to the scene. Should citizens always rely on the police for protection?
Craig: Well, first of all when I arrived here nine months ago, it's no secret that when it came to response time, we were recognized as having a 50-minute response time to some emergency calls. That has changed. We set a goal for 2014 to respond to high-priority 9-1-1 calls in five minutes. We haven't reached that as of yet, but we're averaging between eight and 11 minutes.
That said, whether five minutes or seven minutes, the issue is simple. You know, if a citizen is in danger—an immediate threat to life—even if the officer can get there, and even if the community member has the opportunity to contact police, as we all know if there's an imminent threat to life, it happens in an instant. At some point, are you going to ask this violent predator, "Can you wait a few minutes so I can make this 9-1-1 call?" It's just like an officer confronted with an imminent threat to their life. Certainly we want our officers to notify dispatch and seek backup when confronted with a dangerous situation, but sometimes it happens in an instant and an officer has to respond. It's certainly not saying we can't do our job; it's saying we can't be on every block, every corner, every minute of the day to be able to respond in seconds when someone is confronted with a dangerous situation.
A1F: How do you get the message to citizens—or criminals—about civilian self-defense?
Craig: The message is out there [now]. The people of Detroit have come to me in droves to thank me for taking this stand. But you know, there's a lot of responsibility that comes with that. I don't support vigilantism, but I do support good Americans and self-protection and self-defense. I promote that. I support that. I don't see why anyone wouldn't, and it's a constitutionally protected right. This is not a James Craig law. It's the law of the land.
A1F: How has your stance toward guns and gun control evolved over the years?
Craig: I spent 28 years with the Los Angeles Police Department. I always tell this story because it's kind of an interesting one, but it's no secret that in Southern California it takes an act of Congress to get a concealed weapons permit. That was my orientation; that's the way things were. I didn't give much thought to it.
And then I go to Maine and am greeted within my first couple of days in office as police chief with a stack of CCW permits on my desk. Based on my orientation, I began to deny each and every one of them until my staff came in and said "Whoa Chief! This is Maine, and we love our guns. And if you haven't noticed, it's a safe city." I started to reflect on that. I took the response of my staff seriously and really reflected and realized: "Great point." That's when my orientation really began to change. The Detroit Police Department is becoming one of the more premier law enforcement agencies in this country because it's fighting against the challenges that most agencies don't have to deal with.
A1F: Where do you see Detroit in 20 years?
Craig: I believe that Detroit, because of the resilience and the can-do attitude of people who live here, that Detroit will regain its luster. It will be one of these premier cities. The Detroit Police Department is becoming one of the more premier law enforcement agencies in this country because it's fighting against the challenges that most agencies don't have to deal with. The city is in bankruptcy—certainly our staffing levels are much lower than they've ever been—and despite the fact we've had fewer officers, we're more effective at how we conduct our business, and that's making the city safe. In terms of policing in Detroit, I think we'll continue to move in that direction. I think the city will become economically viable once again. There's a leadership in the team that's committed to getting it done, so I'm excited personally about the future of Detroit.
When arguing about the Second Amendment, gun control advocates often insist police should be the only ones armed "to protect and serve." Although a variety of case law exists to refute the doctrine of public duty, the fact remains that law enforcement is reactive, not proactive. Although their presence can deter some crime, they have to be summoned, and can only act once a law is broken.
This doesn't demean the efforts of hard-working and overburdened law enforcement officers; it simply recognizes their limitations. Detroit residents have learned the hard way an expression common among gun owners: "When seconds count, police are just minutes away."
If the Second Amendment works here, it can work anywhere. Despite record declines in police employment, budget woes and crime surges, Detroit saw 53 fewer homicides in 2013 than the year previous, and 23 fewer in the first quarter of 2014, as well as double-digit declines in robbery, sexual assault and burglaries. A streamlined and revitalized police force, Chief Craig said, is only part of that equation, attributing at least some of the success to criminals' knowledge that many Detroiters won't sit idly by and become victims.
Guns aren't the only solution to Detroit's problems. But when the glass is heard smashing in the middle of the night, guns are among the most effective means of surviving a bad situation. With the Second Amendment and a police chief like James Craig on their side, Detroit residents may well be on their way to resurrecting the indomitable spirit that once made their city great.

1MDB, SRC debts: With RM44.54b outstanding, here's how much Putrajaya will have to pay next year
As of September, the total government debt exposure and liabilities are estimated to be RM1,257 billion; that's about 87.3 per cent of the country's gross domestic product
AsiaFeatured NewsSouth East AsiaMalaysia
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov. 26 — Putrajaya has to repay RM3.272 billion in 2021 in loan installments and interest on debts, out of a combined outstanding amount of RM44.5 billion of government-guaranteed debts owed by 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) and its former subsidiary SRC International Sdn Bhd.
In a written parliamentary reply yesterday, the Finance Ministry said both 1MDB and SRC International faced a critical financial situation due to past scandals and misappropriation of funds, and that these two companies were no longer actively operating and are unable to fulfill the obligations of repaying debts that were either directly or indirectly guaranteed by the Malaysian government.
In such a situation, the ministry said the government would be paying off the next batch of installments owed by 1MDB and SRC International next year.
"For 1MDB, the total balance of 1MDB's debt (principal and interest) on October 31, 2020 is RM40.87 billion, while the amount of 1MDB debt that has to be paid in 2021 is RM1.705 billion which involves interest/coupon payments for three bonds and one sukuk issued by 1MDB and its subsidiaries.
"This total is based on the assumption that the foreign exchange rate is at RM4.20 for each US$1.00. The repayment of 1MDB's debts in 2021 will be made by using the 1MDB asset recovery funds and government financial allocation," the ministry said in its reply.
As for SRC International, the ministry said the civil service's pension fund Retirement Fund Incorporated (Kwap) has agreed to restructure the RM4 billion loan it had previously given to SRC International, effective from the year 2020 to March 28, 2022.
"The total balance of borrowings after the restructuring is RM3.67 billion which covers the loan's principal and interest. For 2021, the amount of scheduled payment to Kwap is RM1.567 billion which covers the principal payment of RM1.5 billion and interest payment of RM67.1 million that will be paid through government financial allocations," it added when referring to SRC International's debts.
Taking 1MDB's RM1.705 billion interest payment and SRC's RM1.5671 billion scheduled repayment, the total that the Malaysian government has to ensure is paid in 2021 is RM3.2721 billion or RM3,272,100,000.
The ministry was responding to Pokok Sena MP Datuk Mahfuz Omar from Parti Amanah Negara who asked the amount of 1MDB and SRC International debts that have to be paid by the government next year, as well as the source of funds that would be used for such debt payments.
GLCs responsible for own debts, govt to foot 1MDB's debts
Separately, the Finance Ministry also responded to Teluk Intan MP Nga Kor Ming, who wanted to know in detail the amount of government debt, including for government-linked companies (GLCs), as at October; and measures for repayment.
In a written parliamentary reply, the Finance Ministry said GLCs are responsible for their own debts.
"Regarding the debts of GLCs, all GLCs are responsible for the fulfillment of their financial obligations. Whereas for 1MDB, this obligation will be borne by the federal government.
"The government is continuing efforts to recover 1MDB assets. As of September 30, 2020 the balance of the 1MDB asset recovery trust account is RM11.7 billion and all of it will be used to repay 1MDB's financial commitments," the ministry said.
As of September, the total government debt exposure and liabilities are estimated to be RM1,257 billion; that's about 87.3 per cent of the country's gross domestic product.
The ministry said this amount covers various commitments such as RM177 billion worth of guarantees on GLCs' debts for infrastructure projects and public utilities, 1MDB's debts of almost RM32 billion and an estimated RM173.3 billion for public-private partnership projects and off-budget projects previously implemented.
The ministry said the government is currently focusing on helping the economy recover from the Covid-19 pandemic. This includes supporting businesses and ensuring Malaysians' welfare.
It said the government will return to consolidating its fiscal position once the economy recovers so that its debt exposure and liabilities will be at a controlled and managed level.
The ministry added that the government's future fiscal plans will see it expand its revenue base, strengthen governance and tax compliance and increase spending efficiency to control Malaysia's fiscal deficit levels.

Learn how to make this non-traditional pasta dish, Red Pepper Sauce Pasta, with this simple step-by-step recipe. Roasted red peppers are blended with other fresh ingredients to create a thick, velvety sauce with a flavor that is sweet with a subtle bite at the end.
I love peppers in so many different dishes because they add such good texture and a nice little bite. I typically use them in my Mexican recipes or in salads, but I finally decided to use them in a pasta dish. What a great idea to come up with this Red Pepper Sauce Pasta. Although this is not a traditional pasta dish, it's really not that crazy of a concept. Roasting the peppers and then blending them with a few other ingredients creates a thick, velvety sauce that's perfect for pasta. The flavor is sweet with a subtle bite at the end. This dish comes together quickly and it's absolutely delicious.
Let's bring the focus back to the pasta because the pasta noodle is the perfect texture to blend with the red pepper sauce. The sauce adheres to the pasta and yet isn't sticky. How does it do that?
The sauce begins with roasting the peppers on your stovetop. The peppers are roasted until they are good and black on all sides. Then, the peppers are dropped into a sealed baggy so they can steam some more.
After 20 minutes, simply take them out of the bag and peel off the outer layer of the skin. This is quite easy but your hands will get a little dirty.
The flavor of the sauce is both made sweet and enhanced by sautéing shallots and garlic. Some simple spices are added in the sauté process, then the softened shallots are added to the roasted red peppers and put in a blender. The blended mixture is put back in the same skillet that had the shallots and garlic. The sauce is completed by adding coconut milk because I love to use coconut milk in so many recipes. It has such a rich texture and for those readers that are lactose intolerant, it is the perfect substitute in any recipe that calls for cow's milk.
Put the gas burners on the stovetop on high heat.
Roast the red peppers on each side.
Place in a plastic baggy for 20 minutes.
Remove and peel away the charred skin. Seed the pepper and take off the stems. Set aside.
Cook pasta according to package instructions and drain and set aside.
While the red peppers are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium.
Add in 2 – 3 tablespoons olive oil.
Add the shallots and sauté with the garlic until softened – about 4-5 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper and stir. Remove from heat and set aside.
Transfer the sautéed shallot and garlic to blender with the roasted peppers, coconut milk, red pepper flakes.
Check for seasoning and add more salt, pepper, or red pepper flake, if needed.
Once blended, place the sauce back in the skillet over medium heat to thicken. Add the parmesan. Continue to simmer on low heat.
When the sauce has been simmered for a good 10 minutes or so, add noodles.
Serve by topping with the mozzarella, parmesan, and fresh chopped parsley.

Oh wow, I am going to make this dish this week!


When it comes to food, Ramadan is the season of highest food consumption. Preparing the iftar meal is not the only dish people stop at, but they go on to prepare the desserts that are as important as the plethora of food that fill families' tables. Konafa and qatayef are inseparable part of Ramadan's tradition in the Arab world. The desserts, known to be served only in the holy month, are widely available in Egypt at almost every bakery shop.
Throughout the month, even small bakeries are filled with konafa and qatayef.
Konafa is considered one of the easiest Middle Eastern desserts in terms of preparation. That is one of the reasons behind its huge popularity among Arabs.
In Egypt, it is mainly prepared with nuts or cream. However, in the past few years, new flavours have been added to the traditional dish, including fruits, brownies, and red velvet cake.
As for qatayef, the sweet dumpling is also usually filled with nuts or cream. It can be both fried or eaten raw.
Forty-year-old Sae'ed Mohammed has been working as a specialised baker of konafa and qataef for around 18 years.
Mohammed spends his days in Ramadan turning konafa dough into long, thin, circled hair-like textures.
"It's the most requested element of Ramadan," he said.
The liquid dough is spread in circle shapes on a hot tray heated to a high temperature.
Mohammed opened his eyes to three older brothers who also worked as konafa and qatayef bakers, and he learned all the tricks of being a good baker from them.
"Not only my brothers are like that, all of my hometown members work as konafa bakers across Egypt," he added.
During the rest of the year, Mohamed work as a regular baker who makes all sort of bread and biscuits. Yet, he does not let go of his passion and what he considers his "main career," which is making qatayef and konafa.


This is the Icy Dragonscale of Cataclysm, and will be used for various crafting recipes.
It is very nice to see stuff like: use this rather than the Pristine Fur (equivalent of Arctic Fur).
Best place, so far, to grind these is Obsidian Forest - Twilight Highlands.
The easiest place I have found is in the dead tree in Obsidian Forest, Twilight Highlands. There are a few Obsidian Pyrewings roosting there that don't seem to fight back at all (not for me, anyway).
Edit: This is an easy place for ranged. I doubt melee could take advantage here.
I found that a good spot to farm these is at Deepholm, The Stone Drakes offer a fast respawn rate and are easy to kill despite their two annoying abilities.
I have found that Sethria's roost in Mt Hyjal right where the brood mother spawn is the best for scales. The 81 twilight dragonkin drop about 40-50% on scales.
Nonsenese. As a rogue I'm dealing pretty well with those dragonkins. The best place for Blackened Dragonscales far.
No, it's not. It takes more than 50 kills to get 20 dragonscales. 50 kills gets you 50 savage leather which can be turned into 1 pristine hide. There are also some really easy packs of low hp mobs that can be skinned for savage leather. The stamina leg enchant is 10x easier to make than the attack power one.
Go on top of the tree where Skarderis is in Obsidian Forest - Twilight Highlands you can pick off dragons who will not attack you and will fall into the tree, which you can easily fly to and skin.
Best place to farm for this by far, as of patch 4.0.3, is the west side of Pale Roost in Deepholm, where the elite Stone Drakes are downed and rooted with less than half health for a quest. The drop rate of Blackened Dragonscale seems to be higher than in Hyjal. And they are guaranteed otherwise to drop a Savage Leather (no scaps). Also there is nothing else to aggro in the area, and the drakes don't attack unless unattacked. They also have a fairly high drop rate of dragon flank - an ingredient for some good buff food.
This is no longer true, as of today. Sad indeed.
At the Obsidian Forest, if you tag the pyrewings with a DoT as they fly by, if the DoT is still on them at the time they're killed you get to loot and skin them. If the DoT has fallen off when they're killed, they'll sparkle but you won't be able to see any loot, so you can't loot and skin them.
If you stand in an area where their corpses drop frequently, you're more likely to have a dot on them when they go down. My skinner is an ele shaman, so I usually dot one, pull a ground-based dragonkin, dot another, and after the area is clear of grounded dragonkin fly around a bit to see if I missed any pyrewings while my mana regens. It's not as fast as an AoE grind, but I'd be dead if I tried that anyway.
I farm these at the Twilight Highlands, south of the Crucible of Carnage.
The Highland Black Drake drop them almost every kill for me, don't know why the percent listed on wowhead is so low.
Anyway i got 16 of these in approx 15 minutes in my last run through.
Edit: These mobs do have a lot of health and their flame breath should be interrupted.
Twilight Highlands,Obsidian Forest hands down is the best spot for the scales.
ive spent hours at each location and the drop rate here can sometimes be 75% and dragonflanks drop almost every mob! goodluck!
well, not every skinner is a hunter :) I, being a druid skinner/LW did a similar test: To skill up my LW I wanted dragonscales, so I went to Twilight Highlands having read the posts here. I wondered: How many scales do I get until I have 40 savage leather (= 8 Heavy Savage Leather as needed in my LW pattern). Answer: I got 23 scales, giving me an excess of 13 (10 are needed for the pattern). I got 35g in grey trash loot, 1 elementium box and 1 green item and a bloated stomach (2 volatile air for me) + 25 dragon flanks. Given that on my server scales go for 15g while savage leather yields 5g - not bad at all.
The fights are, as described here, easy enough, even if you are yourself "the pet" who "takes all the crap" :) - if you want more of a challenge you can pull a few more dragonkin and tank them down, too.
There are Vermillion drakes (green, friendly) who also fight your targets in the area. You can help them! If you are careful you don't even get the aggro and you do get the loot/skin! They will not, however, engage in a fight that you started, unless they are taking damage from the mob you pulled.
obsidian forest, twilight highlands, by far. charscales drop dragonscales most of the time, viletongues drop savage leather, no scraps at all. love it. high respawn, plus killing ones in fights with green allies is perfect.
trash sells for about 20g per farming hour, scales on my server are 20g per scale, i can usually get almost 25-30 scales per hour. thats about 520 - 600g per hour on my server, staghelm.
I had to farm these myself today for my leatherworking and I thought I'd pay attention to how effective farming was in Obsidian Forest while I was there (for future reference). I'm a level 85 MM Hunter, so I kill pretty efficiently and never had to rest. Even with another person in the area killing the dragonkin, I was never without something to kill.
For note, it was stated above somewhere that the Vermillion Slayers and Ashmanes would not help you fight enemies if they had not already engaged the fight or been hit by one of their abilities or spells. However, I found that they WILL engage the enemy you are fighting even if the enemy did not hit it and you were the one to "start" the fight if they are reasonably close. If there is one nearby, they will run to your enemy and begin fighting it. This was somewhat helpful as it did speed things along a bit.
I timed myself to see how long each stack of 20 Blackened Dragonscales took me to obtain (4 stacks in all). The longest time a stack took to get was about 45 minutes. The shortest time was about 24 minutes. When I had all four stacks, the average of my time spent fell right about 30 minutes a stack.
I also got an average of 30-40 silver per kill (which accumulates nicely when you need to get 80 dragonscales), vendor trash which sells for an average of 20-30 silver a piece and stack up to 20 (claws and paws basically), a couple of greens, and of course - Savage Leather when I didn't get the Blackened Dragonscales and the rare Strange Bloated Stomach (I'd average about 2 stomachs per stack of 20 scales).
So all in all this was a tedious farm in that it's fairly boring BUT it's an easy way to obtain the Dragonscales and there is no waiting as the respawns are pretty constant and the fights are easy.
Tried to see if that was true, but it isn't - the Charscales do not drop the Blackened Dragonscales every time. I personally found that I got the scales from them about as often as I got them from the Viletongues.
Obsidian Forest in TwiHi gets my vote. Better vendor trash, 0 chance for scraps, and the best drop rate on scales. Round them up three by three, and almost every time you'll get one or two scales per battle.
However I will agree it can get a bit congested, especially if anyone else there skins. Hyjal would be the second best spot, in my opinion.
Anyone else feel like leatherworkers have been shafted two expansions in a row? I mean, for my blacksmith or engineer, i can get on my alchemist and transmute 15 volatile life into something useful once per day (earth, fire, air, whatever). Or, I can transmute one volatile earth and one elementium bar into 3 pyrite bars. Even if I can't find the pyrite playing PvE, I can still obtain it via a profession skill.
Leatherworking has no transmute equivalent or tradeoff (at least not that I am aware of). For example, we can't transmute 3 savage leather, 3 volatile fire and 3 volatile earth into 10 blackened dragonscales. You just have to grind everything! That and the fact that every freaking design for mail wearers above LW 510 requires 10 blackened dragonscales to make ONE item really turns me off to this profession. I used to love it. Blizzard has made it so tedious I now hate it.
In a way, whether Obsidian Forest, Mt. Hyjal, or Deepholm has the best droprate doesn't matter. Regardless of where you go, Blizzard is shoving this tedious, forced grinding onto all high-end leatherworkers.
the dragonkin guys in obsidian forest in twilight highlands actually have a pretty good drop rate for these, just got about 30 of them in 1/2 hour or so.
Since making it back to the U.S. I have been able to play more of the content including the dungeons and raids. I have found that while running Grim Batol that the dragons in there seem to have an extremely high drop rate of these scales. On average I was getting between 2-3 each time I skinned one. I could walk out of each instance with at least 20 of these at a minimum. If you don't feel like farming them anywhere else you can run Grim Batol and get rep for whichever faction you choose as well as a possibility of gear that you need to get into raids or the new ZA/ZG. So with this one dungeon you have the possibility of killing up to 3 birds with one stone!
Obsidian forest was better for me. Dragon flank and $ is a plus.
I've found the ultimate farming place for both Blackened Dragonscale and Savage Leather is The Pale Roost in Deepholm (just west of Therazane's Throne).
Dragons fall from above pre-stunned for 5 min (breaks when you attack though) with 50k hp. They hit for 3k-ish on mail and are only 83, they do however always drop either leather or dragonscales...seemingly at the same rate as the significantly tougher dragonkin in Twilight Highlands.
I've found you can literally farm nonstop here as a new drake will fall right next to you before you've killed the current one.
Where is the best place to farm theese after patch 4.2? Twilight Highlands is full of Elementals!
My favourite place for farming these is in Grim Batol, that's if there isn't another skinner there.
Actually, this makes the Roost better as you are less likely to get ganked. And, if you are a PVPer and haven't done the Hyjal quests, you can clean up here safe in the knowledge that you can gank just about any opposing player that comes to do the quests (after you've skinned their kills, natch). My hunter hit 85 without doing Hyjal, so doing the Roost I can one-shot the dragonkin for leather and scales, and get some honor points at the same time (insert evil laughter here).
The Obsidian Pyrewings in Obsidian Forest give the best drop rate. If you got the quest to kill them, you can use the chain as much as you want and just never turn it in.
If you already did the quest, you can use a ranged toon to DoT up the Pyrewings as they fly by. If they get shot down, you can loot them.
But if you don't like playing "fetch" with your kills, you can kill them where they spawn if you have a good amount or ranged burst damage. My spot is 59.74 on western edge. You have a good 8-10 seconds before they take off. They spawn low to the ground which gives you more time before they move out of range. They respawn on average 10-15 seconds, with a lull of 1 minute at the most. Very good spot.
Hi here to share my info.
I found the best place to farm for blackened dragonscales. The Pale Roost.
These Stonedrakes have a relatively low amount of HP once they fall from the sky, they share the same general loot table as normal trash elites.
aswell as a bunch of greens and greys that can be vendored for quite alot of gold.
This was done with the Bountyfull bags guild perk.
Obsidian Forest or Pale Roost? Drop rate may be better in OF, but in PR the kill rate is MUCH faster; so fast that I can't loot and skin anywhere near fast enough to keep up with the bodies.
But one problem: The Stone Dragons sometimes aren't falling from the sky. Can anyone tell me how to get them to start falling? Is it quest-related? Have I just been lucky enough to be there when someone else is doing a quest, until now?
I did a test for the best farming spot on this item on Jan 27, 2012, after reading the comments about Pale Roost in Deepholm vs. Sethria's Roost in Hyjal.
TL;DR version: iLev 377 rogue playing since vanilla sez deepholm is it, for now, and kinda barely.
Since this is my first time posting something like this here, a bit about me and my toon at present.
Me: Ta-da. Your humble author and tour guide here in Black Dragonscale hell. Playing since vanilla, 41 year old media & polisci student + dad (22) + grandpa (2) + some other stuff in meatspace. This is my second account; I gave my first away shortly before cata hit, rolled this one shortly after. Just started playing again after being off since November.
My toon: Rogue. Combat daggers, 8-32-3, iLev 377, GS 9978, 4/16 DS in raid finder (Morchok 1, Zon'ozz 2, Yor'Sahj 2, Kagara 3). Playing with instant poison on both daggers and crippling on thrown. Random glances at my dps meter showed values anywhere from 5.5k-12k. In both cases fights were very quick; see further details below.
I didn't keep close track of other drops.
In Hyjal over 15 minutes, I picked up 21 blackened leather. Mobs are easy to kill but hostile. Lots of leather scraps. I probably had to re-pop Slice and Dice and Recuperate 6 times (*). Don't remember any greens dropping. A few regular leathers, but not many. Farm spot is on the opposite end of the zone from the zone entrance. Mobs are hostile and will aggro on sight. It is very much possible to wipe this farm spot out for maybe 30 seconds or a bit more between the death of the final mob in the area and the spawning of the next one.
In Deepholm over 15 minutes, I picked up 20 blackened dragonscale. I also picked up at least two stacks of leather, and three greens. Mobs are much more plentiful here, and my SND/Recuperate never cooled down even when i took 3-4 mobs at once. Mobs are docile until aggro and easy to kill. Dragons fall from the ground and are stunned for a few seconds on the ground, before they fly away. PROTIP: You can attack them from your mount in the air, and they'll fly down to finish the fight. Zone entrance is centrally located.
Total haul over half an hour: 85 savage leather (at least three dozen through scraps), and 41 Blackened Dragonscale.
Projected half-hour haul @ Hyjal: 42 Blackened Dragonscale, stack of leather mostly from scraps., maybe some greens and stomachs.
Projected half-hour haul @ Deepholm: 40 Blackened Dragonscale, three stacks of leather with no scraps, half-a dozen greens and maybe the same amount of stomachs.
I find the Highland Black Drake in the hills above Crucible of Carnage pit to be the best place to farm these, just running between the two peaks i never have to wait for respawn.
I find Obsidian Forest worse, the mobs are way too spread, slow spawnrate and from what i've seen lower droprate aswell.
The best farming area for these is Obsidian Forest.Sometimes i get 2 blackened dragonscale from one skinning and i even witnessed having 4 Blackened Dragonscale from one skinning.Alsa normal drop ratio is higher than CoC area.
I recently was questing in Hyjal on my Skinner and I found that Sethria's roost has 2 types of dragonkin. One normal and then the juggernauts. If you do quite a bit of quests in hyjal you eventually get one called Dissasembly. If you just use the item it gives you on the juggers they have a very good chance for scales.
As you can see, in Deepholm you get alot more of everything but the only problem is, is that Deepholm is a HUGE farming spot so it's usually packed and you won't do as good, but in Twilight Highlands its practically empty.
Just farmed an hour on my Worgen rogue skinner with potion of treasure finding and bountiful bags guild perk. Using current auction house prices and includes auction house cut. Could use other professions to combine mats for higher gold making, but I'm just posting raw mats.
This seems right in line with other posts here. Again, you could use a tailor to make bolts of embersilk, use the dust and essences to make enchants, etc to maximize the gold making.
P.S. - I went in with 54 bag slots free, not including the leatherworker satchel slots. Ran out of room with about 10 min left of farming. Lost out on some dragon flank because of it and about 20g. So make sure you go out there with lots of bag space.
Deepholm. The Pale Roost. /fin.
I usually end up with way more Dragonscales than Savage Leather. And the Volatile's and random greens are a nice perk as well. :3 I've tried Obsidian Forest a couple times, but as a combat rogue, The Pale Roost was a lot more profitable for me since I can kill more stuff in a shorter amount of time.
If you want to farm these, I recommend Obsidian Forest in Twilight Highlands. The mobs there only drop 2 grey items (not much waste of Bag space) and Have around a 30% chance to drop a Scale. If they do not drop a scale, you can get alot of savage leather.
It looks like 2 main spots for Farming these. But those who go to Deepholm at the Pale Roost should know to go towards the western end of Pale Roost where the Stone Dragons are falling. Thier health is usually almost diminished by the time they fall so u can kill and skin very fast.
Obtain potion of treasure finding. Go to twilight highlands. Go to obsidian forest. Kill the dragonkin there. PROFIT!
Two hours at the Pale Roost got me this.
700g after I vendored the greys.
17 Bloated Stomachs which contained: 13 waters, 4 lifes, 5 fires, 3 earth and 2 airs.
Edit: one more hour added.
As cited earlier the locale is heavy with Dragonkin, and the drakes flying above. Everything in this area is skinnable.
Use the Wyrmhooks to haul yourself onto one of the flying drakes...you can't be attacked here, but can attack your drake at will.
When it dies, you'll fall to the ground. If you don't have some fall damage mitigation you can take a fair amount of damage, so be aware. Rogues, feral druids, mages quick on the slow fall trigger, all should be fine.
Loot it. Skin it. Take a quick peek around for any close dragonkin....if they are close, kill, loot, and skin. If they aren't, fire up the wrymhooks again and do it over and over and over again. The drakes respawn rate is crazy as they are part of an ongoing event. The dragonkin are often farmed here, so having the wyrmhooks really makes a difference. I can continue to farm even when the dragonkin are being fought over by multiple other skinners.
As a feral druid I created a macro that would target the drakes, use the wyrmhooks and shapeshift me to cat form at the same time, all in one button. It makes farming these ridiculously easy. Lots of Savage Leather, Bloated Stomachs, Dragon Flanks. The occasional green, the occasional chest, and with a Potion of Treasure Finding active some nice additional items/money. Each mob drops around 20-30 silver, too.
For anyone that still needs these in WoD+ content, for whatever reason (mine was to craft a Twilight Dragonscale CloakTwilight Dragonscale Cloak for an awesome timewalking tank set), I found that there's a spot in the southeast part of the Obsidian Forest - about 68,77 is where I was standing - which is close to where the drakes flying overhead actually spawn.
My lowly geared 92 ele shaman was able to one shot these with Flame Shock/Lightning Bolt, and barely had to move to skin, and certainly didn't have to look for any more mobs. Made getting the 50 I needed quite easy.


With two places to see trains, a National Trust property, fine views of the Weirwood Reservoir and the Kingscote Estate wine shop half way round there is something to interest everyone on this walk.
As you drive along the track towards Standen you should see a car park on the right, through a gap in the hedge. Park here or, if you are a National Trust member, park in Standen car park and walk back to waypoint 2.
From the first car park, walk through the woods in the direction of Standen until you meet the road again and another footpath. Turn right onto a footpath, keeping a hedgerow on the left and open field on the right.
Go through a kissing gate and follow the path all the way along the left hand side of a field. Ignore any paths going off to the left or right.
Turn right at the fence and continue along this path keeping the fence on your left until you reach a single track road. The road to the left is now submerged under the reservoir, so turn right and head uphill along the road until you reach a T junction.
Turn right but be aware of traffic. This stretch of road is only very short but cars can appear very fast. Turn immediately left by a sandstone outcrop (towering above you) and follow the footpath.
The path takes you along the top of Stone Hill Rocks, a favourite place for climbers.	After a while the path goes downhill and turns sharply to the right. Leave the path here and go through a gate into a field. Walk straight across the middle of the field. You should be pointing slightly to the left of an electricity pylon (seen in the middle distance) as you head downhill.
At the bottom of the hill you will reach a stream. Follow the stream, keeping it to your right, until you reach a bridge.
Cross the bridge and turn left. The path leads you over boggy ground towards the edge of the field. Go through a gate and walk through the woods until you find a steep railway bank. Cross the style and climb the bank towards the level crossing.
If you want to see a train here, it is safest to cross over the line first and wait at the other side. When you have finished here, continue down the bank, crossing the style at the bottom. Continue to a single track road. Turn right and walk along the road.
Just after the road starts to go downhill, take the footpath on the right. Continue on this path all the way to the bottom, ignoring any paths that veer off to the right. At the bottom of the hill a single track road goes under the Bluebell Railway. This is a good place to wait for a train if you missed one at the level crossing. Now go under the bridge and continue on the level track between a number of ancient farm buildings and a wine shop selling produce from the Kingscote Estate.
Cross the bridge over a stream and take the path on the left. This path will soon carry you uphill on a path between the vines. When you emerge at a field, keep going and look out for a footpath on the left. Take the footpath into the woods.
Just before you reach a track, take the footpath to the right of it. The track soon veers left away from your footpath. Soon you will reach a style into Deers Leap Park. Head across the field to a gap in the hedge on your left.
Now go diagonally across the field and into woods again. Take the path on the left as soon as you enter the woods. After a long walk through the woods you will arrive at East Grinstead Sports Club. Walk between hockey pitches and sports centre buildings. At the last hockey pitch, swing right towards the sports club exit. At the road, turn right onto a footpath.
When the footpath ends, continue along the road, eventually passing the entrance to Saint Hill Manor. Take the next footpath on the left and proceed along a concrete track, passing cottages on the left and rugby fields on the right. When the track runs out, go all the way to the far end of the rugby field, ignoring a footpath going left.
Go past the pylon, festooned with mobile phone aerials, and turn left onto the road. Turn right on the single track drive towards Standen and walk back to the starting point.
If you are National Trust members, you could find refreshments in the coffee shop at Standen and perhaps spend the rest of your day looking around the house and gardens.
