Cataclysm Scalper Reviewed



For the last few weeks I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz about the new gold guide on the market from Jonathan. It’s called Cataclysm Scalper and it’s been built around a few very simple ideas that we’ve seen many times before – most of them dealing with the Auction House.

By now, you should know that the only real way to make gold in World of Warcraft is to use the Auction House to trade goods based on economic conditions. This isn’t new and a lot of good guides have been written showing players how to take advantage of the tools and add-ons out there that analyse the auction house.


But with the Undermine Journal now defunct and with other guides failing to update or adapt to post-cataclysm changes, a lot of us were looking for something new to take on the mantle of “ultimate auction house guide.” Cataclysm Scalper hoped to do that and has mostly succeeded.

What Cataclysm Scalper Does Right

The reason I can so highly recommend Cataclysm Scalper is that it actually SHOWS you almost everything you need to know to be effective in the game making gold. You get the text descriptions and walkthroughs, but you also get a series of images and videos, plus a slew of tools that show you how to develop your own spreadsheets, charts and diagrams to track prices and choose the right items to buy.


I’ve never seen it done before and probably for good reason – it looks like a lot of work. But, it’s absolutely successful in that you now have every tool you need to be effective making gold. If you’re like me and are tired of old, unupdated guides trying to tell you what to do, get over to Cataclysm Scalper.

VW Amarok Wins 4x4 Australia Magazine: Ute of the year!

SYDNEY, Australia – Dec 8, 2011: The Volkswagen Amarok has taken out the 4x4 Australia Magazine’s 2011 ‘4x4 Ute of the Year award’, with a convincing win over a collection of established and newly released competitors.

The Amarok which entered the market earlier this year has confirmed its position as the benchmark for its class with this win.

Phil Clark, Volkswagen’s Director of Commercial Vehicles was pleased to hear of the Amarok’s success.

“The Amarok brings a fresh new approach to the segment which has for many years been overlooked when it comes to offering both active and passive safety features and more importantly excellent on and off-road performance,” said Mr Clark

“The 4x4 Ute of the Year award highlights just how well our designers and engineers have done their research with our first entry in this segment.”

According to 4x4 Australia Magazine the Volkswagen Amarok delivered on the key areas ahead of the competition.


“On-road, the chassis offers a level of ride and handling well above all of the others, yet the Amarok is still as good as it gets for off-road ability.

“The Amarok is ahead of the game in so many ways. It’s powered by the quietest, most refined and most economical engine that gives little or nothing away to the others”.

“Whatever way you look at it, the Amarok is the complete package…and the 2011 Ute of the Year”

The contenders for 4x4 Ute of the Year award were assessed on five different criteria:

“Value” in relation to equipment and price.

“Doing the Job” where judges assessed the vehicle according to the vehicle’s design brief.

“Bushability” which determined how well the vehicle was equipped for Aussie off-road and outback travel.

“Breaking new ground” evaluated advancement in technology and design.

“Built tough” took into account how strong the vehicle was and how it coped with rigorous off-road and outback driving environments.

VW Bulli: Green lights for production!: Rumors have it that VW has greenlighted he production of the uber-cool VW Bulli. Bring it on!
'The concept version is powered by a 113-horsepower electric motor and a lithium-ion battery pack, which can reportedly be charged in less than an hour. We don’t know if the electric powertrain will make it into the production vehicle (our guess would be no, but who knows?), and there is no word on pricing. '

Old Bar Beach Festival

Old Bar Beach Festival - Old Bar - New South Wales, Australia


The multi award winning Old Bar Beach Festival celebrates all that is special and unique about Aussie beach culture. Now in its 7th year the Festival has become known throughout Australia for its feature event, Kombi Fest, the largest gathering of kombi vans in Australia. In 2010 they came from all over Australia to break the record with 218 vans… a record organisers hope to again break in 2011.


Kombis will flock to the Old Bar Beach Festival in an assortment of colours and styles from the hippie to the fully restored classic and in 2011 they will be joined for the first time by other Classic and Vintage Volkswagen cars. The Festival features a Kombi Parade that travels through parts of the beautiful Manning Valley before arriving at Old Bar for the judging and display to the 20,000 visitors that now enjoy this multifacted event.
It’s only natural that the kombi van should feature at the Festival. It has become as iconic as the Aussie surf carnival or fish and chips on the beach. Despite having its heyday in the 1960’s and 1970’s the kombi generates great nostalgia for so many. What’s more it has been rediscovered of late not only by the baby boomers and wanderers travelling Australia but the many foreign backpackers who now see a trip up the coast in a Kombi as a must do Aussie experience. It has been represented in song, in film, in art but most of all in folklore as the only way to really experience a traditional Aussie beach holiday.

However the Old Bar Beach Festival is not just about but fond memories of the good old days of idyllic summer holidays on the coast... there is all the fun and activities of the coastal culture and lifestyle of Old Bar today. Popular events include the quirky Surf Expression Session, beach fun runs, flipper running races, kitesurfing, aviation displays, the annual skateboarding comp, huge coastal mega markets, amusement rides, free all day entertainment, art and sculpture exhibitions and so much more. So its time to pencil the Festival in your diary and start planning to hit the road, preferably in a Kombi! It’s Old Bar or bust October 1st and 2nd 2011.

Kombi: Van of the People

Kombi: Van of the People

The Kombi was designed as a commercial vehicle but somehow captured the world's imagination.
You can understand how a prestige car or a high-performance model could become a cult item.
After all, they're designed to tug at the heart strings when they're new, so there's a decent chance they'll have the same appeal when they're a few decades old.
But how did a vehicle designed in the late 1940s by a car dealer and destined to work out its life dropping off parcels, hauling frozen fish or delivering cut flowers became one of the biggest automotive cult hits of all time?
We refer, of course, to the humble Volkswagen Kombi and its surprising rise to become one of the most-loved vehicles on our roads. Kombis are hotter than lava lamps and cooler than Frank Sinatra
