More than raptors to experience in Georgia
Batumi Birding runs tours to Batumi and the Caucasus. If you are interested in a local birding tour, check the information here.
If you look for tours to the Caucasus including the migration watch points, check this page.
Although the variety of raptors can keep one busy for quite some time, Batumi and it's surroundings, and Georgia in general have a whole lot more to offer! Ranging from subtropical forest in Adjara over the badlands and riparian forests in the east and from the alpine landscapes of the Caucasus to the sandstone cliffs and steppes of the south. The variety of natural landscapes and diversity of plants and wildlife in this small country is simply astonishing. Because of this, a lot of species can be observed in a relatively short amount of time. While visiting the BRC project, many have experienced some splendid birding and enjoyed wonderful nature all around Georgia.
Especially the Chorokhi delta south of Batumi and the harbour area prove to be particular favorites of many birders. The forests around counting station 3 in Chakvistavi, in the Mtirala National Park, reveal some wonderful floral high notes and several volunteers found themselves adoring Georgian wildlife on Kazbegi's mountains, Vardzia's cliffs and Ninotsminda's steppes and lake...
On the overview page about birding in Georgia, Caucasus you can find information about several areas that are known at this date to the organizers of the project. This overview will undoubtedly grow during the years to come, and some useful links about nature in Georgia will be added as well. We hope that this information may convince many readers of Georgia's unique potential for an extraordinary wildlife experience!

For 17 years our colleagues Jeff Cohen and Norman Solomon have worked with FAIR to present the P.U.-Litzers, a year-end review of some of the stinkiest examples of corporate media malfeasance, spin and just plain outrageousness.
Starting this year, FAIR has the somewhat dubious honor of reviewing the nominees and selecting the winners. It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it. So, without further ado, we present the 2009 P.U.-Litzers.
--The Remembering Reagan Award
WINNER: Joe Klein, Time
Time columnist Joe Klein (12/3/09), not altogether impressed by Obama's announcement of a troop escalation in Afghanistan, wrote that a president "must lead the charge--passionately and, yes, with a touch of anger."
He described the better way to do this:
Ah, Reagan--now there was a president who could inspire people to fight and die based on lies.
--The Cheney 2012 Award
WINNER: Jon Meacham, Newsweek
Newsweek editor Jon Meacham declared (12/7/09) that Dick Cheney running for president in 2012 would be "good for the Republicans and good for the country." He explained that "Cheney is a man of conviction, has a record on which he can be judged, and whatever the result, there could be no ambiguity about the will of the people.... A campaign would also give us an occasion that history denied us in 2008: an opportunity to adjudicate the George W. Bush years in a direct way."
While the 2008 election might have seemed a sufficient judgment of the Bush years, it's worth pointing out that at beginning of the year (1/19/09), Meacham was adamantly opposed to rehashing Cheney's record, calling it "the rough equivalent of pornography--briefly engaging, perhaps, but utterly predictable and finally repetitive." The difference? That was in response to the idea that Cheney should be held accountable for lawbreaking. Apparently a few months later, the same record is grounds for a White House run.
--The Them Not Us Award
WINNER: Martin Fackler, New York Times
The New York Times (11/21/09) describes the severe problems with Japan's elite media--a horror show where
The mind reels.
--Thin-Skinned Pundits Award
WINNER: Dana Milbank, Washington Post
Washington Post reporters Dana Milbank and Chris Cilizza got into trouble when, in an episode of their "Mouthpiece Theater" web video series, they suggested brands of beer that would be appropriate for various politicians. What would Hillary Clinton drink? Apparently something called "Mad Bitch." The video, unsurprisingly, was roundly criticized, and was pulled from the Post site. So what lesson was learned? Milbank complained (8/6/09) that "it's a brutal world out there in the blogosphere.... I'm often surprised by the ferocity out there, but I probably shouldn't be."
Yes, the problem with calling someone a "bitch" is the "ferocity" of your critics.
--The Sheer O'Reillyness Award
WINNER: Bill O'Reilly, Fox News Channel--TWICE!
1) Asked by a Canadian viewer, "Has anyone noticed that life expectancy in Canada under our health system is higher than the USA?," Fox's O'Reilly (7/27/09) responded: "Well, that's to be expected, Peter, because we have 10 times as many people as you do. That translates to 10 times as many accidents, crimes, down the line."
2) Drumming up fear of Democrats' tax plans: "Nancy Pelosi and her far-left crew want to raise the top federal tax rate to 45 percent. That's not capitalism. That's Fidel Castro stuff, confiscating wages that people honestly earn."
Perhaps Castro was president of the United States in 1982-86, when the top rate was 50 percent. Or maybe all of the 1970s, when it was 70 percent. Or from 1950-63, when it was 91 percent.
--The Less Talk, More Bombs Award
WINNER: David Broder, Washington Post
Post columnist Broder expressed the conventional wisdom on Barack Obama's deliberations on the Afghanistan War, writing under the headline "Enough Afghan Debate" (11/15/09):
--The Racism Is Dead Award
WINNER: Richard Cohen, Washington Post
Post columnist Richard Cohen wrote (5/5/09): "The justification for affirmative action gets weaker and weaker. Maybe once it was possible to argue that some innocent people had to suffer in the name of progress, but a glance at the White House strongly suggests that things have changed. For most Americans, race has become supremely irrelevant. Everyone knows this. Every poll shows this."
For the record, "every poll" does not actually show this; the vast majority of Americans continues to recognize that racism is still a problem. Cohen went on to write months later--still presumably living in his racism-free world--that he did not believe Iran's claims about its nuclear program, because "these Persians lie like a rug."
--The When in Doubt, Talk to the Boss Award
WINNER: Matt Lauer, NBC News
Today show host Lauer announced a special guest on April 15: "If you really want to know how the economy is affecting the average American, he's the guy to talk to." Who was Lauer talking about? Wal-Mart CEO Mike Duke. The ensuing interview touched on the Employee Free Choice Act, which Lauer noted was supported by many unions but opposed by some large corporations--leading him to ask Duke, "What's the truth?" Yes, look for "the truth" about a proposed pro-labor bill from the new CEO of an adamantly anti-labor corporation.
--The Socialist Menace Award
WINNER: Michael Freedman, Newsweek
Newsweek's "We Are All Socialists Now" cover (2/16/09) certainly turned heads, but one of the stories inside explained in more detail the real threat. As senior editor Michael Freedman asked: "Have you noticed that Barack Obama sounds more like the president of France every day?"
The real problem, though, is what that's going to do to us Americans, says Freedman: "If job numbers continue to look dismal, or get even worse, an ever-greater number of people will start looking to the government for support.... It's very easy to imagine a chorus of former American individualists demanding cushy French-style pensions and free British-style healthcare if their private stock funds fail to recover and unemployment inches upward toward 10 percent and remains there."
Pensions and healthcare for all--this is worse than we thought!
--The Iraq All Over Again Award
WINNER: Too Many to Name
After the invasion of Iraq, countless journalists who had treated allegations about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction as facts were embarrassed when there were no such weapons to be found. So you'd think they'd be more careful about thinly sourced claims that Iran is seeking nuclear weapons. But in 2009, many journalists are still willing to treat such allegations as facts.
-NBC's David Gregory (10/4/09). "Iran--will talks push that country to give up its nuclear weapons program?"
-Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly (9/25/09): "All hell breaking loose as a new nuclear weapons facility is discovered in Iran, proving the mullahs have been lying for years.... Iran's nuclear weapons program has now reached critical mass. And worldwide conflict is very possible. Friday, President Obama, British Prime Minister Brown and French President Sarkozy revealed a secret nuclear weapons facility located inside Iran."
Some even went further, turning allegations of a nuclear weapons program into the discovery of actual nuclear weapons:
-ABC's Good Morning America host Bill Weir (9/26/09): "President Obama and a united front of world leaders charge Iran with secretly building nuclear weapons."
--The Talking Like a Terrorist Award
WINNER: Thomas Friedman, New York Times
In a January 14 column, New York Times superstar pundit Tom Friedman explained Israel's war on Lebanon as an attempt to "educate" the enemy by killing civilians: The Israeli strategy was to "inflict substantial property damage and collateral casualties on Lebanon at large. It was not pretty, but it was logical." Friedman added, "The only long-term source of deterrence was to exact enough pain on the civilians--the families and employers of the militants--to restrain Hezbollah in the future." That strategy of targeting civilians to advance a political agenda is usually known as terrorism; Osama bin Laden couldn't have explained it much better.
--The It Only Bothers Us Now Award
WINNER: Wall Street Journal editorial page
When Barack Obama only called on journalists from a list during a press conference, the Wall Street Journal did not like the new protocol (2/12/09): "We doubt that President Bush, who was notorious for being parsimonious with follow-ups, would have gotten away with prescreening his interlocutors."
Actually, Bush was famous for calling only on reporters on an approved list; as he joked at a press conference on the eve of the Iraq War (3/6/03), "This is scripted."
--The No Comment Award
WINNERS: MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski and Rush Limbaugh
When asked by Politico (10/16/09) to name her favorite guest, MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski named arch-conservative Pat Buchanan "because he says what we are all thinking."
Rush Limbaugh on Obama (Fox News Channel, 1/21/09): "We are being told that we have to hope he succeeds, that we have to bend over, grab the ankles...because his father was black."

Hot Pepper Powder
Q: You want to know an amazing topping for that Wal-Mart Tombstone pizza you just bought, because you don't feel like spending three hours cooking that awesome pad thai dish, on which you spent $100 for the ingredients?
A: The organic hot pepper powder you made at the end of the summer from all of those organic hot peppers you grew in your organic garden, jerk.
Oh wait, that was me. Not you. You spent $44 on pepper plants at Lowe's because you're too much of a grab-asser to save your own seeds. Well, even with your crappy peppers, you can still make hot pepper powder. Here's how:
What You Need:
1. Food dehydrator. You can do so much awesome shit with one of these.
2. Hot peppers. Don't be a sissy.
3. Culinary scissors. Or regular scissors. I typed "culinary scissors" because I'm a stupid asshole. And you don't get a picture of these, and I'm not going to tell you why. You can just sit there and fucking think about it.
4. Spice or Coffee Grinder. I use my wife's coffee grinder. She likes it when I do that. This one is awesome:
How To Do It:
1. Remove the stems from the peppers (I do this right after I pick them, and right before I freeze them).
2. If they are bigger peppers, cut them into segments. They'll dehydrate faster. I cut the Jalapenos and Habaneros in half, but I leave the Tabascos in tact because I fucking feel like it.
3. Dehydrate the peppers and wait for a long ass time. Because I told you to.
4. Once the peppers are dehydrated, grind them up, and put the powder in a jar.
5. Jizz hot pepper powder all over your food and pretend like you're enjoying "hot mouth" in front of your questionably hot girlfriend.

McAlpine, Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering | News | CommentsA complex interplay of molecular components governs most aspects of biological sciences: healthy organism development, disease progression and drug efficacy are all dependent on the way life's molecules interact in the body. Understanding these biomolecular interactions is critical for the discovery of new therapeutics and diagnostics to treat diseases, but currently requires scientists to have access to expensive laboratory equipment.
CAT scan of nearby supernova remnant reveals frothy interior
January 30, 2015 8:00 am | by David A. Aguilar, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics | News | CommentsCassiopeia A, or Cas A, is one of the most well-studied supernova remnants in our galaxy. But it still holds major surprises. Harvard-Smithsonian and Dartmouth College astronomers have generated a new 3-D map of its interior using the astronomical equivalent of a CAT scan. They found that the Cas A supernova remnant is composed of a collection of about a half dozen massive cavities—or "bubbles."

The materials, called perovskites, are particularly good at absorbing visible light, but had never been studied in their purest form: as perfect single crystals.
Obama proposes "precision medicine" to end one-size-fits-all
January 30, 2015 6:18 am | by Lauran Neergaard, AP Medical Writer, Associated Press | News | CommentsPresident Barack Obama is calling for an investment to move away from one-size-fits-all-medicine, toward an approach that tailors treatment to your genes. The White House said Friday that Obama will ask Congress for $215 million for what he's calling a precision medicine initiative. The ambitious goal: Scientists will assemble databases of about a million volunteers to study their genetics to learn how to individualize care.
Hydrogen sulfide could help lower blood pressure
January 29, 2015 4:30 pm | by Univ. of Exter Medical School | News | CommentsA gas that gives rotten eggs their distinctive odor could one day form the basis of new cardiovascular therapies. Research has indicated that a new compound, called AP39, which generates minute quantities of the gas hydrogen sulfide inside cells, could be beneficial in cases of high blood pressure and diseases of the blood vessels that occur with aging and diabetes.
New clues about a brain protein with high affinity for valium
January 29, 2015 4:18 pm | by Karen McNulty Walsh, Brookhaven National Laboratory | News | CommentsValium, one of the best known antianxiety drugs, produces its calming effects by binding with a particular protein in the brain. But the drug has an almost equally strong affinity for a completely different protein. Understanding this secondary interaction might offer clues about Valium's side effects and point the way to more effective drugs.
Genetically engineered antibodies show enhanced HIV-fighting abilities
January 29, 2015 4:06 pm | by Kimm Fesenmaier, Caltech | News | CommentsCapitalizing on a new insight into HIV's strategy for evading antibodies, Caltech researchers have developed antibody-based molecules that are more than 100 times better than our bodies' own defenses at binding to and neutralizing HIV, when tested in vitro. The work suggests a novel approach that could be used to engineer more effective HIV-fighting drugs.
Eyeglasses that turn into sunglasses
January 29, 2015 3:52 pm | by American Chemical Society | News | CommentsImagine eyeglasses that can go quickly from clear to shaded and back again when you want them to, rather than passively in response to changes in light. Scientists report a major step toward that goal, which could benefit pilots, security guards and others who need such control, in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.
Qubits with staying power
January 29, 2015 3:41 pm | by Larry Hardesty, MIT News Office | News | CommentsQuantum computers are experimental devices that promise exponential speedups on some computational problems. Where a bit in a classical computer can represent either a 0 or a 1, a quantum bit, or qubit, can represent 0 and 1 simultaneously, letting quantum computers explore multiple problem solutions in parallel. But such "superpositions" of quantum states are, in practice, difficult to maintain.

Advice on dealing with confused patients
1Oct 16, '13 by SubSippiI work on a tele floor, but lately I have been getting patients whose medical diagnosis is "Alzheimer's, waiting for placement." I'm a new nurse, so I'm not sure how common this is, but what has been happening is that a family suddenly decides that they are no longer going to care for their family member who has dementia, and brings them to our ER. The ER doc admits them, and then the nurses essentially become their babysitters until a spot opens up at a nursing home or whichever LTC facility is most appropriate for them. These patients hardly ever have any sort of medical illness (other than diabetes).
Best case scenario is they are pleasantly confused, won't stay in their rooms, try to take their gowns off in the hallway, poop in weird places, etc. Sometimes I try and get them back in their rooms, and I'll stay in there to do my charting. Sometimes I'll let them sit at the nurses station and give them some towels to fold or some other sort of project, which will generally keep them occupied for about 15 minutes.
The worst are the ones who accuse me of holding them hostage, and are constantly crying or yelling about something. Nothing will keep these patients occupied.
We can't put them in a roll belt or any other kind of restraints unless they are violent or are actually TRYING to leave the hospital, not just wandering. The doctors might have some anti-anxiety meds ordered PRN, and while that might (or might not) make them less anxious, it certainly doesn't keep them from getting up and wandering around. When I've asked for something stronger, I've been told that they don't sedate for "nurse convenience," and we can't get a one on one sitter unless the patient is suicidal.
The other nurses I work with pretty much just say we gotta deal with it and hope nothing bad happens. Since these patients pretty much need to be watched 24/7 I'm doing good just to give the meds to my other patients. This is frustrating when I have ventilated patients, or patients on insulin drips...and I'm having to chase someone's confused, but otherwise healthy, mama down the hallway before she busts up into someone's room, or wanders outside in the middle of the night.
Since restraints and extra sedation don't seem to be options, does ANYONE have any tips/advice on how to get these people to stay put or calm down? Or on how to convince their doctor that the 1mg PO Ativan q6h isn't really cutting it? I am at a loss, and they are driving me insane.ICURN3020 likes this. -
3Oct 16, '13 by jadelpn GuideThis is when you go to your nurse manager and ask that since you are a tele floor, and not a long term care facility, that you are able to make use of patient sitters. If your facility doesn't have any sitters, then a CNA. Patients who are wandering and such need to be on a 1:1 observation.
0Oct 16, '13 by SubSippiWhen I have requested a sitter, I was told that we only have those for suicidal patients.
They are on wandering precautions, but for us that just means a different colored gown and the bed alarm. We keep the hallway doors shut, but they're not locked and people can still get through them. -
3Oct 16, '13 by xoemmylouoxI can't imagine. Unfortunately I don't have any advice to offer other than make sure you have malpractice insurance.
3Oct 16, '13 by Esme12, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorUnfortunately they are a necessary part of nursing. Many physicians will place them on telemetry floors because the staffing is better. They need a specific amount of time inpatient to be eligible to be evaluated for long term placement....an expensive requirement of medicare.....it used to be 3 days.
There isn't much you can do. I caution you about closing doors for a patient that is confused can get in a lot of trouble behind closed doors and can be considered a form of restraint and certainly NEVER lock themSeven categories of elder abuse have been described by the National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA), formerly the National Aging Resource Center on Elder Abuse. Categories include the following: Elder Law Abuse Law & Legal Definition
- Physical abuse is defined as any act of violence that causes pain, injury, impairment, or disease, including striking, pushing, force-feeding, and improper use of physical restraints or medication.
- Psychological or emotional abuse is conduct that causes mental anguish. Examples include threats, verbal or nonverbal insults, isolation, and humiliation. Some legal definitions require identification of at least 10 episodes of this type of behavior within a single year to constitute abuse.
- The miscellaneous category includes all other types of abuse, including violation of personal rights (eg, failing to respect the aging person's dignity and autonomy), medical abuse, and abandonment.
An article on AN discusses this.
Coprophagia And Scatolia In Demented Elderly ResidentsLast edit by Esme12 on Oct 16, '13 -
4Oct 16, '13 by advsmuch08Sometimes giving them a warm bed bath helps. I try to do the meds and assessments for the confused patients first, earlier in the night. I keep the lights dimmed so as a cue for night time but I leave a small light on through the night and leave their doors open to watch them closely. Bed alarms on. Frequent rounding. Lights in the hallways are dimmed. Plus we try to keep them in rooms closest to the nurses station. I'll turn on the relaxation channel or the radio channel and play soft music. If able, I'll bring my computer right by their doorway to chart and keep an eye on my other rooms. Obviously, this all depends on time, staffing, and acuity, etc.
8Oct 16, '13 by classicdame GuideI read a study done in LTC facilitites indicating that the wandering might be due to hypoglycemia - they are looking for food. Many do not eat appropriately, so get hungry between meals. Try a little snack. I have a feeling that until someone gets injured there will be no changes as they all require an expenditure.
7Oct 16, '13 by dudette10For the the dementia wanderer on the tele floor I often work on, we get them comfy at the nurses station with magazines and snacks...a place where there is always at least one nurse or NA available at all times. the responsibility for safety is shared, and it allows the assigned nurse to adequately care for her other patients, too. its too much for one nurse, quite frankly. The patient is bored,bored, bored and isn't getting the stimulation sitting in a private room.

Young Alan Palomo is readying his second LP as Neon Indian, titled Era Extraña. Unlike the somewhat obfuscated and anonymous rollout for Psychic Chasms, this time Alan is ready for his closeup — this video, for the Part Two ("Decay") of the album's three-part instrumental "Heart" piece, has Palomo traipsing around the Era Extraña's birth city Helsinki, scribbling in his notebook, trudging through snow. Video by Sean Lopez:
(via GvsB)
Here's Part One, "Heart : Attack":
Era Extraña is out 9/13 in North America via Paloma's own Static Tongues imprint (via Mom + Pop). It'll be out courtesy of Transgressive in Europe, Pop Frenzy/Inertia in Australia, and Big Nothing in Japan.

Michael Hanchard, PhD, SOBA Presidential Professor at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, left, and Zita Mynes check out the view from the observatory tower on Orcas Island in Moran State Park. It is the highest point on any of the San Juan islands. The islands at top right are the Sucia Islands. The two were on vacation -- it was their first time at the San Juan Islands.

I love to cook. I'm always looking for new recipes. They don't all turn out great, but that's what it's all about. When we try a recipe and decide we like it I type it up on the computer, save it in my recipe file then print it out on paper (that has a design of some sort on it, I find paper at craft stores). I place the recipe into a plastic paper protector then into a 3-ring binder. I don't usually cook real "fancy" recipes, I like home cooked meals. I love to experiment and usually modify and mix up recipes (adding extra seasonings; sometimes to spice up the heat). People always tell me my kitchen smells great. That's because I'm always cooking. I especially like prepping the ingrdients being used in the meal. I just take my time, it relaxes me.

Hector axed by 2FM
Despite denying the rumours last month 2FM have finally admitted that gaeilgoir disc jockey Hector O hEochagain is being cut.
RTÉ 2fm have just confirmed that presenter Hector Ó hEochagáin will finish broadcasting his RTÉ 2fm breakfast show. Hector will return to RTÉ screens in the spring in the second of his hugely popular series 'Hector Goes' and will also pursue other development projects with RTÉ Television in 2014.
Dan Healy, Head of 2fm and Director of Radio Sales told sundayworld.com: "Hector is a major personality and hugely loved by Irish audiences and has played a significant role in developing breakfast radio with his show 'Breakfast with Hector' on 2fm. 'Keep her lit' helped take the country through the past three years of the recession with outside broadcasts from Friday factory floor fillers to second chance debs.
"RTÉ 2fm would like to take this opportunity to thank Hector for the enormous effort it takes to broadcast a breakfast show and for the entertainment he gave to his 'soldiers of the dawn'."
RTÉ 2fm will be announcing a breakfast show early in the New Year.

HELENA — The owner of a local meat processor whose facility was recently tagged as "putrid" by state inspectors was arrested Tuesday on charges he assaulted two Department of Livestock workers.
Montana City Meats, a major buyer of local 4-H animals, was cited for "putrid" conditions in its Jefferson County meat processing plant last month, leading to a 90-day suspension of its processing license.
Tuesday, a follow-up inspection ended with the arrest of Garry Wheelock, the owner of Montana City Meats, on five misdemeanor charges including two assaults.
"The alleged victims were the meat inspectors," Jefferson County Sheriff Craig Doolittle said Wednesday.
Wheelock was also cited with two counts of unlawful restraint, for allegedly not letting the inspectors leave, and obstructing a peace officer. He posted bond of $2,695 and was released.
After a visit by four staffers to the plant July 11, the Livestock Department ordered an immediate 90-day suspension of the company's processing license.
"During that visit, we found several violations (of state law) including putrid sights and smells such as fly infestations, maggots, offal, bones and skins from a previous processing day, garbage strewn about, unfinished wood surfaces, rust, blood on the floor of the cooler, and a carcass that appeared to have been hanging too long that had developed a slick surface and an odor," Gary Hamel, the department's Meat and Poultry Inspection chief, wrote in a July 19 letter to the company.
Montana City Meats also, on June 8, sold misbranded meats — the "not for sale" labels had been removed — at the Helena Farmers Market, according to the letter.
In late July, Livestock Department Executive Officer Christian Mackay said the violations posed no health danger to the public.
In a July 23 letter to the processor, Hamel said Montana City Meats could stay its suspension for six months if it corrected the problems. The department agents visiting Tuesday found that conditions there had not been rectified, Mackay said Wednesday.
Some of the cleanliness issues have been addressed, but the physical structure of the plant "is not where it needs to be," he said.
Wheelock did not return calls seeking comment Wednesday.
On July 28, he said he had an attorney involved with the license suspension "because I didn't think it was right."
He said then that he would still be able to pick up carcasses and deliver processed meat legally, but would not process it himself. He said he would continue selling legally processed and labeled meats at local farmers markets and events.
Mackey said Wheelock's license suspension could be lifted if he demonstrates compliance with state regulations. Otherwise, the 90-day suspension ends Oct. 9.

The problem of Outland in Cataclysm {WoW}
Sep 16th 2009 12:45PM I thought of the same problem. It would suck to install vanilla WoW and then be stuck waiting hours while it patches Azeroth to Cataclysm (since everyone will see cataclysm Azeroth one the xpac comes out). The easy solution (in my opinion) is to just stop selling Vanilla WoW altogether. Cataclysm becomes the new "Vanilla" WoW that new people can just buy, start playing immediately and reach a level cap of 60. They'll still have to buy BC and WOTLK to move forward.
If current players qq (they will qq) about newbies getting to pay less to get access to the current game than they did (WoW+BC+WOTLK+Cat > Cat+BC+WOTLK) then Blizzard can just throw in a free month of play for existing players who bought the expansion.
Or heck, maybe they could just sell two versions of Cataclysm. A cheaper version for current players who already have all the other expansions and the original game and a more expensive version for new players getting into WoW.

BRK taking a break from World of Warcraft {WoW}
Mar 30th 2009 6:16PM Sorry Naix, I wasn't totally clear. I didn't mention that it's not so much about what you do, but how much you do it. I agree completely what you mean about having your own separate interests. It's the same with my girlfriend and I. At a certain point though, other separate interests, if pursued too often can negatively affect any relationship. That's when compromise comes into play.
Try to look at it from her perspective. Imagine your wife was really into her book club, so much so that she spent upwards of 4 to 5 hours a day at the library reading books. Now you probably wouldn't have anything against her joining a book club, but if your left to manage the house and take care of a kid while she spends most of her free time pursuing her leisure activities I'm going to bet that you're going to start getting a little ticked off. I'm going to bet that eventually you're going to ask her to start spending less time at the library and more time at home. Perhaps saying "giving up" was a little too strong, but you certainly need to learn to balance your partner's needs along with your own, and your partner needs to do the same.
If your marriage is successful right now all it means is that you and your wife have found a stable situation where you can both spend time doing your own stuff without making the other member feel overburdened with household stuff or ignored. That's great for you guys, but I bet that stability would leave if all of a sudden you doubled your play time for an extended period of time.

text: | Seanad Éireann - Volume 152 - 15 October, 1997 Order of Business. Mr. Cassidy Mr. Cassidy 239 Mr. Cassidy: Today's Order of Business is items 1, 2, 3, 4 and item 6, motion 8. Items Nos. 1, 2 and 3 are to be taken without debate. As Members are aware, debate on the Second Stage of the Merchant Shipping (Commissioners of Irish Lights) Bill commenced before the general [239] election. I suggest that the time limit for Second Stage should not exceed 15 minutes for spokespersons and ten minutes for other speakers. Members may share time. Motion No. 8 dealing with the National Roads Authority will be taken between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. I propose ten minutes for spokespersons, seven minutes for other speakers and Members may share time. Mr. Manning Mr. Manning Mr. Manning: The Order of Business as proposed is agreed. However, as there will not be many contributions from my party on the Merchant Shipping (Commissioners of Irish Lights) Bill, will the Leader arrange for 15 minutes per speaker? I believe only two members of my party, the second of whom has strong views on the issue, wish to contribute. Last week the Leader outlined the programme of legislation for the coming months and indicated that 90 pieces of legislation would be taken. Will he take a short-term view and inform the House of the specific legislation he proposes to deal with during the next three to four weeks? It is important that spokespersons be afforded an opportunity to carry out research and prepare properly. The disgraceful way in which a large number of refugees were treated on Friday last outside the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform was raised in the Lower House yesterday. I believe Members in this House also feel strongly about this matter. Mr. Norris Mr. Norris Mr. Norris: Hear, hear. Mr. Manning Mr. Manning Mr. Manning: The scenes which occurred outside the Department were reminiscent of Ellis Island at its worst. This is no way for a civilised country to behave. Promises have been made that it will not happen again. We must ensure that such scenes are not repeated and that the people involved are treated in a humane way. Will the Minister for Finance come before the House tomorrow during the debate on economic and monetary union to explain Government policy on the future of corporation tax? Will the tax be reduced to the 10 per cent target promised in the Fianna Fáil manifesto or will it be set at 12.5 per cent as stated earlier in the week? Mr. O'Toole Mr. O'Toole Mr. O'Toole: Is it correct that item 3, which is being taken without debate, will restore the Merchant Shipping (Commissioners of Irish Lights) Bill to the Order Paper and the debate on it will continue this afternoon? As I was in possession on the last occasion on which the Bill was debated, I presume I remain in possession and will be the first speaker. Mr. Connor Mr. Connor Mr. Connor: Full marks to the Senator for trying. Mr. O'Toole Mr. O'Toole 240 Mr. O'Toole: I am merely seeking parity of esteem. As I was in possession during the previous [240] debate, I presume that will remain the case. I hope I can depend on my former colleagues on this side of the House who moved to the Government benches following the election. I trust they will not try any tricks. I presume there will be no ministerial speech and that Second Stage will resume with my contribution. I look forward to the Cathaoirleach's confirmation of that fact. An Cathaoirleach An Cathaoirleach An Cathaoirleach: On a point of clarification, I understand there will be a ministerial speech and that the Second Stage debate will be taken again in its entirety. Mr. O'Toole Mr. O'Toole Mr. O'Toole: I am prepared to defer to the Minister and make my contribution following his. Miss Quill Miss Quill Miss Quill: The Senator is shipwrecked. Mr. O'Toole Mr. O'Toole Mr. O'Toole: I hope the Government does not make a U-turn on the Loran C mast at Loop Head. Before the election my colleagues opposite and I raised the importance of the need to introduce mandatory reporting. There was a clear commitment by Fianna Fáil and the Progressive Democrats to introduce mandatory reporting through legislation. It is disgraceful that this has not happened. I do not wish to enter a debate on the matter at present, but will the Leader arrange for the relevant Minister to come before this House to explain the matter? Many of us do not understand how a protocol can be made mandatory. We understood that for something to be mandatory a legislative basis is required. This is an unacceptable U-turn. I have no problem with U-turns if they are in the right direction but this one is regressive. Mr. R. Kiely Mr. R. Kiely Mr. R. Kiely: I congratulate the Minister for Agriculture and Food, Deputy Walsh, on the reopening of the live export trade. He successfully acquired £1 million to ensure the trade will re-open. It is good news that a ship sailed from Ringaskiddy for France last night with nine lorry loads of cattle on board. It has resulted in an increase in the price of weanlings which is good news for farmers. This is in contrast to the previous Minister's achievements. He could only try to get Michael Keating and Peter Bolger, who were in the news for the wrong reasons recently, to try to organise a sailing to Gambia. An Cathaoirleach An Cathaoirleach An Cathaoirleach: That is not in order on the Order of Business. Mr. Norris Mr. Norris Mr. Norris: I join Senator Manning in deploring the appalling scenes outside the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform. It is intolerable that people should be treated in this manner. Several thousand people were left waiting for four hours in the pouring rain. 241 Will the Leader arrange for a Government spokesman to clarify for the House the Government's attitude to the people from County Louth who are taking legal action against BNFL's reprocessing plant? The matter requires further clarification. [241] The Government appeared to be trying to get off the hook for a sum of £200,000 as an ex gratia payment. However, as a result of a debate in the other House yesterday the situation appears to be more open. The Minister has declined to meet the people involved. Because of the interest of the House in the matter it would be useful if it were clarified by a Government spokesperson. Mr. Finneran Mr. Finneran Mr. Finneran: I thank the Leader of the House for organising a debate on EMU tomorrow. Hopefully, Members who have an interest in the matter will have the opportunity to contribute. I wish to raise the major variation that has arisen in house prices in the last 12 months. Prices increased by 14 per cent in Dublin as against 3 per cent in the north. The Department of the Environment and Local Government is carrying out research at present in this regard. Will the Leader arrange for a debate on this issue? As representatives elected by local authority members we are in a position to offer a national perspective on the matter. Perhaps the Leader would consult with the Departments of the Environment and Local Government and Finance and arrange for a debate. If the present trend continues young married couples in Dublin will not be able to build or buy a house unless they have very high incomes. An Cathaoirleach An Cathaoirleach An Cathaoirleach: I wish to clarify for the House that the Leader intended item 4 to be the Merchant Shipping (Commissioners of Irish Lights) Bill, 1997. Dr. Henry Dr. Henry Dr. Henry: Like Senator Manning and Senator Norris, I was appalled by the scenes I witnessed outside the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform last Saturday. I hope they will not be repeated. Will the Leader indicate the status of the Employment Equality Bill, in which we took a great deal of interest and which was declared partly unconstitutional? Will it be reintroduced with the section on disability rephrased? It is very important legislation. Mr. Callanan Mr. Callanan Mr. Callanan: I join Senator Kiely in congratulating the Minister for Agriculture and Food on his achievement which resulted in the provision of a boat which will sail from Cork. The boat is of the highest quality and will provide transport for 25,000 cattle between now and Christmas. The quality of the boat is one thing but the benefit to the farming community is another. Unfortunately there was some criticism of the Minister and the Government here recently, but congratulations are now in order. Mr. Connor Mr. Connor 242 Mr. Connor: I join with the previous speaker's comments on the export of live cattle. I missed the debate on the subject last week. I do not think congratulations to the Minister are in order yet. I would ask the Leader to inquire when the live export of cattle to Egypt will reopen. That is our [242] most important market where there is a potential to sell at least 100,000 cattle. As regards wildlife legislation, a new wildlife Bill or amendments to the existing Wildlife Act that would give statutory authority to the creation of special areas of conservation, SACs, and also areas of natural importance in terms of wildlife has been promised for a long time and I wish to know when it will be introduced in both Houses. Mr. Dardis Mr. Dardis Mr. Dardis: I join in congratulating the Minister for Agriculture and Food on the reopening of the live cattle trade to the Continent and the establishment of the ferry service with Purbeck. I would point out to Senator Connor that there is no need to re-open the Egyptian live cattle trade because in a press release on 6 June, which was read into the record of the House last week, the then Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry, Deputy Yates, announced the trade had been re-opened. Even though Deputy Yates said on that occasion that he had re-opened the trade, the Minister for Agriculture and Food, Deputy Walsh, is making every effort to re-open it. It is intended to have a trial shipment and the veterinary officials from the Department of Agriculture are going to Egypt to iron out the technical difficulties. An Cathaoirleach An Cathaoirleach An Cathaoirleach: May I say, for the information of Members, that mobile phones should not be used in the House. Mr. Dardis Mr. Dardis Mr. Dardis: I agree with those who said it is intolerable that so many people should have had to queue outside the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform. Because of the vigorous economic growth we are experiencing, it is expected that we may have immigration into this country in the very near future. It will be interesting to see how we will deal with that phenomenon given the way we have been welcomed in countries around the world. I welcome what has taken place in Northern Ireland and hope that there is rapid progress towards an agreed settlement. Last week there were suggestions that the matter be debated here. I was pleased to see during the week that Senator Manning made the observation that the meeting with Sinn Féin and Mr. Blair was not in any way similar to the meeting which took place some 70 years ago between Lloyd George and the then leaders of Sinn Féin, which is not the same Sinn Féin we have today. Mr. Quinn Mr. Quinn 243 Mr. Quinn: I would draw the attention of Members of the House to the fact that a piece of algebra that was rejected by several academic journals in 1973 yesterday won the Nobel Prize. It is a reminder to us of the need to invest in education. I ask the Leader of the House to invite the Minister for Education and Science into this House in the near future, particularly in view of the fact that many of the jobs created in recent years were as a result of the high standard of our [243] education. We are now becoming short of manpower with the necessary ability and skills, particularly in high tech areas. I know the Minister is aware of this and I would welcome an opportunity to have him come into this House in the near future to talk about his objectives in this area. I take this opportunity to congratulate the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform and the Garda Síochána on their recent success in the fight against crime. We can all rest a little easier in our beds as a result of some of the steps that were taken recently. Mrs. Ridge Mrs. Ridge Mrs. Ridge: Will the Leader call on the Minister for the Environment and Local Government to review the disabled person's grant? We have recently come across terrible cases of hardship where people in private houses are literally reduced to carrying loved ones around the house. There is a need for such a review of people on very low fixed incomes. The fact that they are in private housing as distinct from public housing should not prevent the best possible care being afforded to the disabled. It is time for somebody to make a quick decision on the matter. Mr. Mooney Mr. Mooney Mr. Mooney: While I fully agree with the sentiments expressed about what happened in St. Stephen's Green last weekend, it is also imperative for this House to acknowledge that many Irish citizens are still queuing outside immigration centres and social welfare offices abroad. Will the Leader initiate a debate on emigrant matters, as has been the tradition in this House over the last number of years? I compliment the former Leader, Senator Manning, who facilitated such a debate in the last Seanad. One of the last official acts of the previous Minister for Foreign Affairs, former Deputy Ray Burke, was to visit a number of Irish immigration centres in New York and Boston. He announced an increase in the financial allocation to these centres, which largely went unreported here like many emigrant issues, I am sad to say. While I do not wish to be seen as a crusading light on emigrant issues specifically, as a former emigrant I try to spend as much time as I can keeping in contact with Irish emigrants in various countries. Such a debate would be welcomed by the House. Mr. McGowan Mr. McGowan Mr. McGowan: Will the Leader arrange a debate on the current talks in Northern Ireland? It is now safe for the House to debate the progress that has been made. It is so important to the southern Border counties that have suffered serious deprivation as a result of over 25 years of violence. We would like an opportunity to encourage those involved to reach an understanding so that we can live in peace. Peace on this island is the number one priority. It has to be said loud and clear from every platform that all of us are anxious to see progress and, ultimately, a settlement of the troubles in the North of Ireland. Mr. Doyle Mr. Doyle 244 [244] Mr. Doyle: Yesterday, Dublin Corporation announced plans for the refurbishment of O'Connell Street to make it a thoroughfare worthy of a capital city. I call on the Leader to request the Taoiseach and the Minister for Finance to make necessary funds available to carry out this work. Mr. Norris Mr. Norris Mr. Norris: Hear, hear. Mr. O'Dowd Mr. O'Dowd Mr. O'Dowd: Will the Leader of the House bring to the attention of the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the fact that great concern is being expressed about the level of grants available to disabled persons? In order to get the £8,000 grant, disabled persons must find one third of the money available themselves. That is creating exceptional demands on them because most disabled people are unemployed and are, therefore, not in a position to have the extra downstairs bathroom provided. I agree with Senator Norris that the Minister of State at the Department of Public Enterprise, Deputy Jacob, ought at the first opportunity to explain the Government's position on the case taken against Sellafield by the Dundalk residents. It is a matter of great concern to everyone in County Louth that funding should be provided for this legal action. We should not treat immigrants any differently from the way we expect our emigrants to be treated on the streets of New York or London. Mr. Cassidy Mr. Cassidy Mr. Cassidy: I agree with Senator Manning's request for a time allocation of 15 minutes per speaker. Last week I announced 21 pieces of proposed legislation, although it might have sounded like 90 it took so long to read it aloud. I will come into the House at the earliest opportunity over the next sitting day or two and let the Senator know the business intended for the next four or five weeks. I totally concur with all those who spoke about the problems experienced by the refugees we saw on television last week. Nobody in their right mind could condone what happened. I will also bear in mind the views of Senator Mooney who is vastly experienced in this regard. Senator Manning asked that the Minister for Finance come into the House to clarify the Government's long-term proposals on corporation tax and taxation in general. I understand the Minister was in Brussels and I do not know whether he will be back tomorrow, but I will try to have that point clarified. Maybe we can take statements on tax matters or have a debate on it at a future date. Senators Dardis and McGowan want a debate on Northern Ireland; I do not have any difficulty with that. I will discuss this with the leaders over the next day or two to see if we can facilitate the Members who want to participate. 245 Senator Quinn wants a debate on education; I have no objection to that either. Tomorrow I will be only too pleased to facilitate the Senator with statements on EMU, one of the most important [245] challenges the country will face over the next number of years. There was a call for the Minister for Foreign Affairs to clarify various points; this does not pose a difficulty. Senator O'Toole made various points about the Merchant Shipping (Commissioners of Irish Lights) Bill. I know you clarified this, a Chathaoirligh, and that the Senator will concur with the Chair's ruling on this matter, as I do. The Senator always has a great gift for being mischievous toward the Leader on the Order of Business, and I take his comments as such. Senators Norris and O'Dowd referred to the debate in the Dáil on the Government's attitude to the residents from County Louth who are taking legal action against BNFL. For the information of the new Senators, the previous Seanad took a lead in that regard. We can all be proud of our actions, the way we voted and where our hearts lay in relation to this major problem. The people of the island of Ireland are concerned about this but in particular it seems to have most affected the people from County Louth and those living along the east coast. I fully agree with the sentiments expressed. The debate is continuing in the Dáil tonight when the matter will be clarified further. Politicians in general must take the lead and the Civil Service must recognise and accept that a serious situation exists. We gave the lead when the matter last came before this House. Senator Henry asked about the employment equality Bill. I hope it will be before the House in the next session. Senator Connor asked about the wildlife Bill which is at an advanced stage. I will come back to the House next week and let the Senator know exactly when it is proposed to take it. Senators Ridge and O'Dowd raised various points regarding the disabled. I will facilitate statements on the disabled at the earliest opportunity. Senator Joe Doyle wanted the support of the House to the proposal, which will be before Dublin Corporation this week, for the refurbishment of O'Connell Street. I concur with the Senator's request and will convey the House's views to the Minister. These improvements to the principal street in Ireland are long overdue and I welcome the corporation's findings yesterday. Order of Business agreed to. Seanad Éireann 152 Order of Business.

2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4WD
ProsGreat in all conditions. Never quits on you. ConsBit of a gas guzzler.
Great Buy — This was a 2000 Grand Cherokee Laredo with 4x4. It had the 4.0L I6 with a cold air intake, throttle body spacer, oversize tires, 2" lift, brush guard, roof rack, off road lighting, halo projector headlights, in dash dvd player, after market speakers, and heated leather. The 4x4 was superb. Rarely gets stuck and the motor will outlast the vehicle for sure. These things are unstoppable. Primary Use: Family transportation

ProsReliable, looks great. Surprisingly, I find the dealer is reasonable for certain repairs but I always check first, others are greatly out of line. Conscrappy speakers, electrical problem with lights.
Hi Ho Silver — I bought my Jeep used in 2003 and have been very happy with overall. An electrical problem with tail light, and crappy speakers but performs well. I follow a maintenance schedule and have had no major problems. My sister has the exact same jeep and has had several items replaced. I think a lot has to do with how the jeep is maintained and driven. I spend a lot of time on highway so it doesn't seem as hard on the vehicle.

2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo
ProsIt is all fun ConsNothing
Love It! — This Jeep is every you want in transportation, for fun driving, it is stylish, and powerful. In terms of performance, acceleration, braking, handling it is second to none. take look at it, one look and you fall in love with its beauty. gas mileage, it great for a SUV Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4WD
Prostons of power, great looks and ride, sounds good. ConsIt's a Jeep, some don't like the looks
2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 4.7l — This car is simply amazing. The monstrous V8 puts out a good amount of torque and horsepower, as well as the quadra-drive is very effective. The gas millage is not the best (14.6mpg for me, but I drive aggressively), but is effective. There are no problems with the car unless you are aggressive, then your transmission could be at risk. All in all a great car for anyone. |
2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4WD
Prospowerful, roomy, 4wd is nice, good offroad skills Consgas mileage in the city
Jeep Grand Cherokee — this truck is pretty nice. plenty of power and the handling isnt bad for a truck i am very comfortable with the interior. it has everything i need. the plastic bumpers kinda suck because they are faded and ashy looking. gas mileage is better than the epa estimate of 21 highway. more like 23 highway. but the city really kills it so i get like 17 overall Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo
Prosgood interior, safe, powerful, relatively good handling, touchy gas pedal. Consbarely any steering feel, very soft brakes, and touchy gas pedal.
It Is Smooth,and Safty It Also Has Luxury, Utility,and Power. — This car is reliable, powerful, safe, relatively good handling, good utility, and somewhat good fuel economy. This jeep with the 4.0L I6 is very smooth very responsive and has respectable power, even better on the freway. The body roll doesn't inspire fast cornering but is capiable of fast cornering, the steering doesn't have much feel and is light at low speeds, but nicely weighted at higher speeds. Primary Use: Family transportation |
2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4WD
ProsQuality Jeep product I'd reccomend for anyone. ConsPlastic bumpers are kind of troublesome.
Wj Grand Cherokee, Last Jeep Wagon With Solid Axles And The Legendary 4.0 I6 — Performance is great, the Legendary 4.0 is just an amazing engine. very reliable, and torquey, plenty of power, and reasonable gas mileage. The interior is extremely high quality for a Chrysler product. I've never had much trouble with Jeep interiors, but this one takes the 1st prize. The ride quality is also very smooth. For a solid axle Jeep 4x4, it rides very nice. It actually rides a lot smoother than my buddy's 4x4 Liberty with IFS. I think it's one of the best looking Grand Cherokees, the only thing I don't like visually is how low the gas tank hangs, to accommodate the spare being under the rear floorboard. Like I said, reasonable mileage, I can get 22 or so on the highway, and up to 18 on the streets, though I usually don't. It's a blast off road, the full time 4wd option makes it great in foul weather, it's an awesome Jeep I definitely recommend it over any other mid-size SUV in it's class. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4WD
ProsHeavy-duty build on most drivetrain and mechanicals ConsRepeated premature brake failures, bad calipers, interior trim poorly built, makes lots of noise.
Good Overall Car, Especially For The Money. — Great vehicle with good styling and durable construction. Build quality (particularly the interior trim) leaves something the be desired in terms of durability, but this Jeep is nearly indestructable in terms of drivetrain and mechanicals and will drive on after some of the most punishing conditions or partial failures. An excellent workhorse and dependable vehicle. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4WD
Prosstorage, towing Consnot for long distances
Jeep - Good For Short Distances — I own a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I bought it when we were expecting our first child. Cons: Poor gas mileage, not fun to drive on a long trip. Pros: great storage, the ride is smooth and it tows well. Very cheap to maintain and has never needed a major repair.

2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4WD
ProsComfortable, Reliable, Smoot Handling, Off-Road rep stands strong. ConsBad gas mileage, weak engine, SUV handling, lots of cheap plastics used in interior
First Car...first Love — I love this car to pieces. The seats are the most comfortable things ever. Jeep builds a very mechanically sound car. The only downside is that it has a lot of plastics and cheap materials in it...but the sound system is amazing! Power is weak. It only a 195 HP, but it delivers when necessary, but forget about racing the sucker. The one thing I hate the most about it is the gas mileage. My car averages 15mpg... On a side note, the 4WD system really works. It's not nearly as advanced as modern systems are, but I have a hard time getting the thing to kick out in snow or dirt. Damn can this thing off road as well!! The only reason I would get rid of my car is for something with better mpg's, but otherwise I would buy myself a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland is gas wasn't an issue. |

Android on Netbooks
The Android OS from Google is optimized for ARM processors and smaller displays, but, with some adjustment, can also run on netbooks.
A developer team on venturebeat.com has reported that they can get Google's Android to run on netbooks. Now many users wonder if Google networks will become a reality in this or the next year. The quick and dirty porting success from the team nevertheless still points to some definite challenges ahead.
The team, which installed Android on an Asus EeePC 1000H, didn't consist of mere hackers, but professional programmers actively engaged in Android development. After they read in the android-porting Google group that Dima Zavin had installed Android on an EeePC 701, they wanted to take a crack at it themselves. According to their subsequent report on venturebeat.com, they got the OS installed on the EeePC 1000H within four hours.
The largest challenge was to adapt the ARM processor optimized code to the x86 architecture of the Intel Atom processors. Fortunately the Google team could take some guidance from previous work they had put into it. And they didn't need drivers in that the 2.6 kernel code already contained the necessary modules.
As to the many queries about when Google netbooks might become available, Matthäus Krzykowski clarified on the venturebeat.com webpage that a complete Android netbook still has somewhat of a journey ahead of it. The challenge is partly due to Android not using X Server, but working with the framebuffer driver instead, requiring special graphics card drivers for 2D and 3D acceleration. Since most graphics programs use X Server, this is where most of the work needs to go.
