I have no late-night lectures this week. Time to see what college is like without any college at night. (That makes sense in my head at least)
Mod subject of this week
Shaman Mods
Shaman Warning – Keep yourself up to date with all the procs which can occur during combat with this nifty little addon. It plays a sound when you gain certain buffs/abilities so you can act accordingly.

Totem Timers – All you need to know about your totems in one addon. It provides an alternative to the blizzard totembar, range trackers, cooldowns and much more. Also provides information on maelstrom weapon attacks for enhancement shaman.

AnkhUp – This addon will help you keep track of your reincarnation cooldowns and provides some tools to make sure you always have enough ankhs.

Shields Up - A monitor for your Earth Shield, Lightning Shield, and Water Shield. Minimally invasive yet provides all the information you need to know as a shaman.
Link: http://wowinterface.com/downloads/info9165-ShieldsUp.html
Chamois – This addon provides 5 icons in the middle of your screen for keeping track of many things such as your shields, shamanistic rage, maelstrom weapon buffs and if you are missing weapon buffs.

Distant Thunder – Miss the old chain lightning sound? Get it back with Distant Thunder! It replaces the new chain lightning sound with the old so you can be happy in nostalgia.

ATotemBar – Move and hide the default blizzard totembar. Also allows you to skin the totembar using rActionButtonStyler

Shock and Awe - Displays timer bars for Shocks, Stormstrike, Windfury (internal CD), Maelstrom Weapon, Lava Lash, Feral Spirits, and your shield. It optionally shows number of orbs on left shield, stacks of MW, advises of next shock in rotation.

Shaman Friend – This hasn’t been updated in a while but apparently still works so I’ll keep going. Provides a huge amount of information on buffs/procs/windfury and more. More than can be listed here so check it out.
Link: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/shaman-friend.aspx
NiceTry – I couldn’t think of any other Shaman mods so I went looking for lol addons. This addon will automatically cancel the misdirection buff if a hunter tries to place it on you. You can then laugh as they realise what has happened while their face gets eaten. You could also play tricks on a friend if he is a Tank by installing this addon on their machine... but you wouldn’t be that mean now would you.

– I think I was meant to feature this addon in 102 but I think I forgot, cba checking. Either way, here is Raid Voice. A seriously nicely made addon Starouscz. This addon is allows you to see which player in your raid/party is speaking on external voice chat program (aka Ventrilo / Teamspeak). It can also mute all game sound when someone speaks. It also allows voice activation which means you might not need a push to talk key, but this is in beta so it still needs more testing. Check it out!

Comix – Another random addon which is actually really popular. It shows a Image and plays a sound when you crit. These Images and Sounds are done in Comic Style, but it can do so much more....

Macro of the Week
Name: Author: Macro:
Q u o t e: /cast Wind Shear
/cast Purge(Rank 2)
This combo takes into account the new change in Wind Shear and enables you to interupt and purge the target at the same time now that they are not on the same global cooldown.

It's so much easier to suggest solutions when you don't know too much about the problem.
he's in YOUR guild, and you don't know who he is? that's sure calls for a roaster check.
seriously, that's a pretty heavy thing if you ask me. when i own a guild, there is no way i'll have members in it i am not approved of, or know about it for the least.

I guess he meant "The same guid as I'm in", not "The guild I'm the leader for".
