Greetings, weary holiday partyers. It appears my computer is indeed working after a nice dusting. Yayy for canned air. Lots to report on this time, and the holidays are over. Well, otherwise I had a very interesting holiday, and did some work on the new Saber guide update and another DV article, this time on orbalisks with Sin's graphics help.

Our Awol check is over, and most of you stayed. This is good. However, some got the boot. That always dissapoints me. But, it needs to be done.

Sharmin Wheyes has joined us as our new Jade serpents battleteam leader, and will lend her Krath madness to our House. Her first report looks good. Welcome aboard!

See her new competition, Upheaval in Jade Serpents here:

We did very well in the Holiday Bash. I even showed up to do acc_live after I got my 'puter back up, but there were no takers then. sigh. Manesh and Lucius have enough CF's between them to make a nice bludgeoning weapon if you put them in a sack. shakes head Way to ROCK!
