Mountain Dew Battle Bot Pet

All,

Have you got your mountain dew pet yet? If so, then cool lets fight!!

If not..the directions are below. Good Luck!!

Battle-Bots are out in the US ... and in EU
I talked about the Mountain Dew Battle-Bots plenty of time in the past weeks and they are now available in game! Even if it is clearly an US only event it seems that the bot is currently available in Europe .... All you need to do is :

• 1. Link your WoW account to a Battle.Net account on the US Battle.net or EU Battle.net website.
• 2. Register on Moutain Dew Gamefuel website and login.
• 3. Click the picture at the bottom right to redeem your pet, login on Battle.net.
• 4. Click the "Redeem Item" button at the bottom of the page, even if it says US only it definitely works for EU players too.
• 5. Connect to the game and just get your bot in the mail!

Sabr's World of Eating: No. 4

Sabr's No-Bake Cookies

I couldn't resist.

1/2 cup butter or margarine
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
4 tablespoons cocoa (unsweeted)
1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
3 1/2 cups oats (I use the quick kind)
2 teaspoons vanilla

In a medium saucepan, add the butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder.
Cook over medium high heat, stirring until mixed.
Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil and keep it boiling for exactly 1 minute.
Remove from heat; stir-in peanut butter, oats and vanilla.
Drop by tablespoons onto wax paper.
They are immediately ready to eat, but rather mushy.
I recommend popping them in the freezer to make them harder and easier to eat.

Happy Eating!

Funny Things on a Friday

All,

I wanted to take a second and reach out to from the Calico Jack's Cabin. Sometimes as I ramble about this ship we call "Tortugas Haven" I do not always take the time to speak to all the deckhands :) I just wanted to stop and say how much I appreciate all of you in the guild and that each of you make it a special place that I enjoy visiting quite frequently. In order to repay some of the happiness that you all bring to me...I have broken out some Friday funnies!!

First of all, if you have ever seen those motivational posters and wondered "Do they have WOW motivational posters?" Guess what? THEY DO!! Here is a quick link to some funny WOW posters:

http://images.google.com/ and just search for WOW Motivational Poster

Next..some jokes:

Q: What do you get if you put an Undead Rogue in water?

A: Soup!

Two Tauren are standing in a paddock..one says "Mooooooo". The other says "Bastard! I was going to say that!"

Q: What do you get when you cross a Wahoofish with a female Night Elf?

A: I don't know but, sweet jesus, I would like to find out!!

If you want more funny jokes, google your own :)

Finally, for all those who have had about Leroy but have never really understood. THis is the link to the official LEEEROOOYYY video. It is a must watch for all WOW players:

Sabr's World of Eating: No. 3

Sabr's (Healthy!) Cheesy Potato Chicken Soup

6 Cups Water
6 Medium/Small Potatoes
3-4 Carrots
1/2 of a Yellow Onion
2-4 Boneless Chicken Breasts
1-2 Cups Milk
1/2 Cup Cheese (I've used both sharp cheddar and those pre-sliced sandwich cheese squares) Don't use non-fat or soy, they don't melt well.

Bring the water to a boil in a large pot.
In the meantime, peel and dice the potatoes, carrots, and onion.
Toss the vegetables into the boiling water. After the water is at a rolling boil for about 5 minutes, turn it down to a high simmer.
While watching the pot, dice the chicken and cook in a separate pan.
When the vegetables are tender (about 10 minutes into the simmer) toss in the chicken, the milk, and the cheese. You may want to shred the cheese before hand to aid in the melting.
Season to taste. I use garlic/garlic salt, red pepper flakes (use sparingly!!) and black pepper.

Keep in mind all these ingredients are approximate, so feel free to use more or less depending on what you like and don't like.

Happy Eating!

Guild Rules

All,

Guild rules have been posted on the guild website (www.tortugashaven.com) and are available for viewing at http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dfs6jj29_20c86549fc

Guild Policy
All members must adhere to these guidelines. There is a “three strikes, you're out” policy in effect. Any member receiving a strike will be notified by an officer. Actions or comments made by any member that contain excessive vulgarity or discriminatory content are grounds for immediate removal from the guild.
Tortuga's Haven will henceforth be referred to as TH in this document.

General Rules
TH members must treat each other with respect.
TH members are representatives of the guild at all times and must conduct themselves in a professional manner when participating in events with other players.
No member is required to contribute to the guild bank, though it is encouraged.
All members have the right to pass on participation in guild events that are of no interest. No TH member shall ever threaten or pressure another member into attending a specific activity. This includes but is not limited to:
Raiding
Running an instance
Participating in a contest etc.
This is a casual guild. Therefore, no member is ever required to be online a certain amount of hours a week to keep their rank.
TH members should do all in their abilities to help other members. This includes but is not limited to:
Running a low level member through a low level instance
Using profession skills to craft an item for a member
Giving advice on a particular boss fight or piece of gear
Farming mats for the guild bank
Helping other members with quests or achievements
TH condemns the use of “power leveling” and will consider removal of a member if there is evidence to suggest the use of these services.
Members who have not been online for a month are subject to removal. This is to keep our roster current and active. Alts are not affected by this policy.

Vent and Guild Chat Rules
Abuse of these rules results in revocation of vent/guild chat privileges. Vent and chat may be suspended at the same time or separately depending on the circumstances.
All general rules regarding respect and conduct are applicable to use of vent/guild chat.
Requests made by TH members regarding microphone volume on vent are to be addressed to the best of one's abilities.
Please do not excessively link “mad lootz” in the guild chat.
Please conduct instance communication in party chat. If one is using vent while conducting an instance, please be considerate of those who are not in the party and join a separate room if necessary.
Any topic that makes a member uncomfortable must immediately cease at the request of the offended member.

Raid and Instance Conduct
All PUG party members are to be treated with the same respect we afford to our guild members.
No member is to be awarded loot above any other member.
TH members are expected to contribute as much as possible to the success of the run. Excessive wipes due to player error are a waste of everyone's time.

New Member Rules
New members must be given the same respect we give all members.
Players that are recommended by TH members are subject to the same recruitment process as everyone.
New members with the “Cabin Boy” title are in a trial period and may be removed from the guild for any one rule infraction at the discretion of the Calico Jack.

Guild Recruitment
This material is only applicable to those with the privilege to invite new members.
The following is an example of trade chat recruiting:
Tortuga's Haven is a casual leveling guild with fun and friendly members, accepting all classes and levels. Running every instance from Deadmines to 80 heroics. Some members raid, some go nuts over achievements. All bank tabs, tabard, vent. Ages 21+ only.
Please ask these questions (or something similar) when recruiting. This is how we determine if a player would be a good fit1. What do you like to do the most in WoW?2. How would you describe yourself as a player?3. What are some qualities you look for in a guild?4. What qualities do you see yourself bringing to this guild?5. What are some of your hobbies in real life?7. Are you over 21?6. How do you like your bacon, crispy or chewy?

Sabr's Delicious No-Bake Peanut Butter Cereal Balls

1 cup Corn Syryp
1 cup Granulated Sugar
1 cup Peanut Butter
6 cups Cereal, I use Rice Crispies, my mom uses Wheaties

In a small pot, combine corn syrup and sugar on low-med heat until sugar is mostly dissolved.
Add peanut butter and stir well.
Put the cereal into a large mixing bowl.
Pour half of the peanut butter mixture over the cereal and stir with a wooden spoon until mostly coated.
Pour the rest in and stir until all is well-mixed.
Get out a cooling rack and cover it with a sheet of wax paper.
Make the cereal mixture into ping-pong sized balls, rolling them between your palms.
Place finished balls on rack to cool.

Makes about 30-40 balls. Always a hit!

Happy eating!
