Who’s Firing is a weekly survey of organizations announcing (or rumoring) layoffs. Not only is this valuable for job seekers, but for business analysts, corporate strategists, marketers, salespeople, investment analysts, financial advisers, and others who are interested in companies that are contracting.

Inclusion on this listing doesn’t mean the entire industry is down, as many from the same sector appeared on the “Who’s Hiring” article published 10/12/09. It is interesting to note that while Federal hiring is on the rise, a number of State and Local governments face continued cutbacks. Also, Verizon has led the top hiring lists, but is also announcing a number of layoffs. Boeing made the layoff list, while competing aerospace manufacturers top the Who’s Hiring lists.

Job seekers: You might want to look in greener pastures than these companies.

Layoffs announced and rumored this week were in the Government, Manufacturing, Automotive, Technology, Publishing and Energy sectors.

Rogues are an odd class in World of Warcraft. You either love to play them or hate to play them. They are the bane of PvP and dueling because they can do so many things that make them hard to handle. I am sure that if you enjoy the battlegrounds you have been “rogued” in the past. It can be very frustrating.

The Rogue is a melee class that depends on agility to avoid blows rather than take them head on. Smart rogues keep a sharp eye on agro meters because they understand that in the end game if you draw the attention of a boss you will most likely be killed before you can vanish or before your healer’s spell goes off.

The biggest key to leveling a Rogue is building a solid gold bangle understanding of the class.

1.) You are NOT a tank!

You must realize from the very beginning that you are not designed to take a mob head on. That kind of tactic is fine at lower levels where your massive DPS output can kill the opponent before they can do enough damage to kill you, but when you start getting up into the higher levels you simply cannot do this because mobs simply hit too hard.

2.) Keep an Eye on Agro Meters

Killing a boss is not a “who can do the most damage” contest. Well ok it is in a way, but if you want to live to tell the story of how you did so much damage you need to keep your eye on those agro meters to ensure that you are NOT on the top of the list.

3.) The best defense is to not be there when the blow arrives.

As a rogue you should be concentrating on building your agility. Agility translates into higher dodge ability. Higher dodge ability means less chance of being hit.

4.) Maximize your equipment

To ensure that your damage output is always near the top of the list you need to make sure that you have the best equipment that you can afford. This point does not pertain just to rogues but to all classes.

As a rogue you need to concentrate on equipment that gives you Agility, Attack Power, Critical Strike, and Haste. Other attributes contribute but agility is the most important of the base scores for a rogue. Be selective about your equipment.

5.) Lockdown

No we are not talking about a prison. When you are soloing you should use your abilities to lockdown the opponent. In a situation where you need to fight 2 opponents use your sap ability to remove one from the fight right away. This puts you in a one on one situation. Then use your gouge and other abilities to lock down the current opponent so you can dispatch them with little trouble. You can then engage the second and use the same tactics.

When you are leveling as a Rogue, remember you are not a tank, in groups keep an eye on the agro meter, keep your agility as high as you can, maximize your equipment and learn to lockdown your opponents. If you master these simple steps then your leveling should be much easier.

Colombia is a land of much diversity and limited number of tourists. This is good news for anyone who likes travel for adventure and sightseeing. If you are traveling to Colombia and wonder what you must see, here are a few of the most sought after Colombia trips.

Bogotá:

Bogotá is the capital of Colombia. It is a land rich with the imprints of time, in terms of architectural beauty and historical landmarks. It is definitely worth your while to visit the Capitol Municipal Palace. The old churches have a quaint charm of their own. Don’t forget to visit The solid gold bracelet Museum and the Art Museum. After you have had your fill of the attractions on land, it is time to head down to Rio Negro for a spot of white water rafting. If water is not your favorite element, go trekking at the home of the El Dorado.

Cartagena:

Romantic, beautiful, renowned, historical – that is Cartagena. The city is protected by UNESCO and is a marvel of sorts. If there is one thing to do here, it is to dunk yourself in a mud bath at the volcano. It is an unforgettable experience. Then, head down to the beautiful Rosario Islands to experience the unbelievable reefs and tropical life.

The Amazon trip:

This is one of the most attractive of all Colombian trips. Here is a rare chance to come face to face with the Colombia Amazon and its rich and variegated ecosystem. The forests, swamps and the jungles offer a wonderful opportunity to meet various species of monkeys, jaguars, otters and manatees, to name a few. There is a teeming bird population too. The Amacayacu National Park is a must see.

Taganga:

This is where the famous Tayrona National Park is, famed for long as one of the most beautiful spots in South America. The rain forests here are magnificent and a trek through the heart of some of these forests to reach the swimming beaches is an experience you will not forget in a hurry. For an out of the ordinary experience, try and spend the night in a fisherman’s cove.

The Culture tour:

Trips to Colombia are incomplete if you cannot taste the sheer diversity in the cultural landscape of Colombia. Bogotá is the hub of cultural diversity, covering some 33,000 hectares. It holds several reminders of a rich and colonial past. Of course, city bugs need not worry because you can easily find all the trappings of modern life here. While you are here, do not forget to visit the Archeological National Park in San Agustin. Locals may call it the Park of Stone Gods – and for good reason. Wonderful, life-sized aesthetically pleasing statues give you a peek into the beliefs and traditions of the past.

As you can see, Colombia trips offer you the unique opportunity to visit a wonderful place that is still pulsating with old traditions, abounding with natural beauty and filled with extreme diversities.

<p> I was just browsing on the catalogue on the official site of Gucci, desperately searching for something less puking as usual. Then I spot the Icon Bit collection which has 6 variants and of course 5 of them are unbelievable eyesores-as usual. Luckily this Gucci Icon Bit Medium Shoulder Bag Horsebit Detail breaks away from the pact. The Gucci handbag is made of purple suede trimmed with leather. Although Gucci has the worse sense of fashion design, we should never doubt with the material it uses. Anyway, it’s luxury products. The suede is not shinning as patent leather or any other glittering material which show nothing but worldliness. I always enjoy comfortable materials. It feels great when the bag touch your skin. And it’s also sumptuous and luscious. There is no innovative design for this bag but several details are deserved to be highlighted. The shape is traditional but the hardware is made of rare ruthenium which is stronger and more durable compared to other frequently used metals. The strap wrench can not be adjusted but an additional detachable shoulder is equipped for different daily occasion. Around the zip closure features the interesting horsebit detail which will satisfy the pickiest detail freaks. Gucci Handbags is famous for the functionality. This Gucci Icon Bit Medium Shoulder Bag Horsebit Detail is no exception. Measuring at 15.7"L x 5.1"W x 13.8"H, it is certainly large to pack your daily necessities. There are a inside zip pack, a cell phone and a PDA pockets but the cell phone pocket is a little bit small for my iphone repair 3G. May it is designed for tiny female style cell phones. Finally we should face the ugly truth. It costs $1390, an unsurprising price for a Gucci handbag but a ridiculous choice on the economic downturn. As a little consolation prize, Gucci offers free shipping for online orders. But what I can tell is the replicas flooding on the market. That’s the really ugly truth for luxury industry. <p>I was just browsing on the catalogue on the official site of Gucci, desperately searching for something less puking as usual.
