Seattle film festivals
By Robert Horton
Reel NW feature Waking the Green Tiger, is a documentary on the subject of the environmental response to a dam-building project on a wild river in Yunnan province in China.
Amie Simon writes: It's here! The Downton Abbey season three finale! (Already? Bummer.) This week's 2-hour episode wraps up the season with love blooming in some very unlikely places, lots of hilarity, drunkenness, joy, and … an unexpected shocker. Here are the highlights—and season 4 cannot come soon enough!
We've been fascinated by the fashions in Downton Abbey since Season One. KCTS 9's Hilda Cullen writes about the luscious vintage fashions that inspired Downton Abbey's designers:
Fashion bloggers have been calling it the "Downton Abbey Effect," and it's been springing up everywhere, from designer Tadashi Shoji's Fall 2012 evening gown collection, to the New York Fashion Week runway show that Ralph Lauren hosted this fall at Highclere Castle, the real Downton Abbey.
We know we're still not over the loss of Downton Abbey's "sweetest spirit." But how long will the Crawleys officially wear black? And just what is "half-mourning"? Tara Austen Weaver explains the traditions of mourning:
Downton is a dark place these days—tempers fraying, stiff upper lips (I'm looking at you, Carson), and lots and lots of black. The house is in mourning, upstairs and down.
From our 21st century perspective, we have found it hard to sympathize with Thomas—but season three has changed all that. Tara Austen Weaver reports on a crucial plot element that comes to a turning point for Thomas in episode six.
Did you ever think you'd feel sorry for Thomas? Thomas—the guy who shot his hand through to leave the war, who sabotaged Bates at every turn. Snide, supercilious Thomas! Oh, how the mighty have fallen. O'Brien says, "Stand back and enjoy his fall," but really, it's hard to.
Amie Simon writes: This week brings us a two-hour episode filled with major changes for Downton, some excellent rapid-fired quip battles between Isobel and Violet, and perhaps the most scandalous moment ever to take place inside Downton's walls!
Reel NW and Indie Seattle By Robert Horton
This week's Reel NW title is Bone Wind Fire, Canadian filmmaker Jill Sharpe's examination of three artists and their habitats: Georgia O'Keefe and the American Southwest; Frido Kahlo and Mexico; and, closest to home, Emily Carr and the green density of British Columbia.
Surely if Ethel can manage an edible Charlotte Russe, we can too – never mind that before today, we thought "isinglass" was a lyric from a Beatles song. Happily, Tara Austen Weaver has located a proper recipe, and so we shall not go without our pudding…

How do we talk about the pall over Downton, when not even Robert and Cora are speaking? This week's recap highlights a heaping helping of Dowager Countess zingers and some good news from downstairs… And now, our recap by Amie Simon.
The Pacific Northwest will be represented at the second annual PBS Online Film Festival. Three short films from KCTS 9's Reel NW series are among the 25 short films that are featuring in the 2013 festival.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I was really looking forward to Monday night's preseason game. I know, I know. Exhibition games aren't something one generally looks forward to (unless you have tickets and they were cheap), what with their absence of things like meaning, effort, or good hockey players. But after the shenanigans that spilled out of Saturday's game versus the Oilers and filled the last two days with bickering and suspensions — after 48 hours of hearing from Edmonton fans with nauseating regularity — I was glad to see the puck drop on a new game.
As it turns out, my optimism was warranted. For the first time this preseason, the Canucks showed up, scoring six goals, and looking like a team that, at the very least, can beat up on a mixed roster of Phoenix Coyotes and non-NHLers wearing Phoenix Coyotes uniforms. And I watched this game.
I know it's only the pre-season, but I really liked to see the boys forechecking hard, even with the lead. The ability to roll four hardworking lines is gonna lead to more goals as other teams commit to covering the Sedins, no more sitting back and waiting for the other team to come at us in waves. Good stuff.
The kids are looking good! Shinkaruk's enthusiasm is infectious. Horvat is getting better with every game, hard not to be excited for the future.
Santorelli, Weber and Richardson are forming quite the offseason bounty.
Stay cool
Don't flip the pool
I watched and when the game was done
Vancouver six and Phoenix one
December sharp was Bobby Lu
The offence was fantastic too
Hansen with the twins Sedin
Higgins and Kess with Burrows between
And players I'd not seen before
With potential one cannot ignore
And so it is my hopes are up
Canucks can challenge for the Cup
"…looking like a team that can beat up on a roster comprised mostly of non-NHLers wearing Phoenix Coyotes uniforms"
Not sure what you're talking about there. I know pre-season means very little in the grand scheme but I'm pretty sure Yandle, Schlemko, Vrbata, Moss, Ekman-Larsson, Chipchura, Stone, Korpikoski, Vermette, Morris, Vermette, Boedker and Greiss are all going to play in the NHL this year.
Also, it looks to me like Weber and Santorelli will probably earn full-time NHL jobs this year. Does that squeeze Schroeder off the roster, or close the door for any of Jensen, Gaunce, Lain or the 2013 first rounders?

KARMAH, IRAQ – Just beyond the outskirts of Fallujah lies the terror-wracked city of Karmah. While you may not have heard of this small city of 35,000 people, American soldiers and Marines who served in Anbar Province know it as a terrifying place of oppression, death, and destruction. "It was much worse than Fallujah" said more than a dozen Marines who were themselves based in Fallujah.
"Karmah was so important to the insurgency because we've got Baghdad right there," Lieutenant Andrew Macak told me. "This is part of the periphery of Baghdad. At the same time, it is part of the periphery of Fallujah."
Lieutenant Macak is not a veteran of Karmah, but Sergeant Jason Howell is. He was deployed in the city from March through October in 2006. "People weren't out in the streets," he said. "They were very reserved. They were afraid to talk to us. They had the feeling that, especially in the smaller towns, they were constantly being watched. They were in real jeopardy if they interacted with coalition forces and, especially, the Iraqi Police."
Lieutenant Macak arrived in Karmah in the middle of July 2007 when the city was still a war zone. "It was moving in the right direction, but it was still active," he said. "2/5 [Second Battalion, Fifth Regiment], who we relieved, was part of the surge effort. Karmah was still a very dangerous place. The lollipop over here was a big deal."
"You mean the traffic circle?" I said. The Marines refer to a large traffic circle down the street from the police station at the entrance to the market as the "lollipop."
"Yeah," he said. "It was basically IED Alley. The whole road out here in front of the station was just covered in IEDs. No one even went down the roads leading to the north of here. It was an insurgent stronghold. Before 2/5 came in there weren't many patrols. They didn't do a whole lot. The Iraqi Police didn't have any confidence. Their numbers weren't big and there wasn't a whole lot of organization. 2/5 came in and started patrolling, started doing what Marines do. They identified local leaders and started engaging them. Sheikh Mishan came back at about the same time from Syria."
Sheikh Mishan Abbas, like many other sheikhs in Anbar Province, fled to Syria shortly after the U.S. invaded.

The Weekly Blab 4.15
The Weekly Blab
Volume 4, Issue 15—April 4, 2010
I hope everyone had a great Easter, Passover, or Nowruz!
Retention, Progression, and Graduation
It seems we're always talking about our retention and graduation rates, but we've never had really good data to go with the discussion. Well, Bibhuti Shrestha and Kelly Payton (from IT) have generated an excellent web report (WSHR 2000) which gives us, name by name, each student who enrolled in a given term, their major, how many credits they took in the subsequent 25 terms, whether they graduated, and several other things. At the suggestion of my job shadow Dr. Al Panu, we divided the students into four categories: full-time students who started at SPSU (FTSP), full-time students who transferred to SPSU (FTTR), part-time students who started at SPSU (PTSP), and part-time students who transferred to SPSU (PTTR).
I've been doing some number crunching the past week or so, and the results are very interesting. [SPOILER NOTE: All the following numbers are preliminary, and will probably require some scrubbing.] First off, the four groups are very different in size. In the fall, the FTSP group is about 50% of our fall students, with FTTR being 25%, PTSPSU 10%, and PTTR 15%. Spring is quite different. It's about 40% of the fall in size, and distributed quite differently: FTSP is about 15%, FTTR is about 40%, PTSP is about 20%, and FTTR is 25%.
Second, the four groups have very different graduation rates. Using the Fall 2003 cohort as an example, the students overall graduated at a 33% rate. The FTSP group graduated at a 31.6% rate, the FTTR group at 43.4%, the PTSP group at 9.1%, and the PTTR group at 29.9%. Most people were aware that transfer students did better than "native" students, but I sure didn't know it was almost 50% better.
Third, our students take longer to graduate than students at most other colleges. This should be no surprise for two reasons: (1) our majors are harder than average, and (2), they require more courses and are hierarchically stacked (i.e, lots of prerequisites). How big is the difference? In Fall 2003, our overall graduation rate was 33% after 8 years, and there were still an additional 5.7% of our students still working at completing their degrees. Assuming that half of them eventually make it, that will bring the final rate to 35.8%.
The most important question is: are we doing better? I'm pleased to report that the answer is clearly "yes". For the FTSP cohort that began in Fall 1998, our 6-year rate was 21.7%. For 2003, the rate is 29.7%. In Fall 1998, the 8 year graduation rate for the FTSP group was 28.3%. We can extrapolate out to the 2005 cohort with excellent accuracy (since a plot of percentage of students retained into 4th year correlates almost perfectly with 8 year graduation rate. The graph indicates that our overall graduation rate for the 2005 Fall cohort will be 38.8%.
Numbers for the Spring cohorts are more variable, since there are far fewer new full-time students. Nonetheless, the numbers are improving sharply—the retention rate into 4th year has risen from 28.1% for the Spring 1999 cohort to 54.2% for the Spring 2007 cohort (which would be into Fall 2009).
Who's Tough?
We always new that SPSU was a challenging university. But just how challenging is it? Turns out that a California professor named Stuart Rojstaczer has written an article called ""A" the Hard Way 2010: GradeInflation.com's Sweet Sixteen of Tough Graders" in his blog, and guess who was in the group? Yep—SPSU. For some reason, we were put in the Midwest Region, but the entry reads: "Southern Polytechnic State. Another hard-nosed science and engineering school. Its state rival Georgia Tech is no piece of cake either, but SPSU gets the nod for a Sweet 16 seed this year." Who are the other 15 finalists? No-one you ever heard of, just places like RPI, Princeton, BU, MIT, Purdue, Auburn, FIU, and Harvey Mudd. CalTech and Berkeley? Didn't even make the cut!
In another article, Rojstaczer shows that the percentage of "A" grades has risen pretty monotonically from about 15% of grades awarded to almost 45% from 1940 to today. "B's" have remained more or less steady at 35%, but "C's" have dropped from 35% to below 15%. Except at SPSU, of course. :>)
Last Week's Trivia Contest
Last week's contest is on the subject of South America, and the prize was a 2-CD set by the Ventures (which have nothing that I know of to do with South America, but what the heck.) Bernice stole the prize with a measly two correct. I guess our faculty and staff just aren't drinking enough rich Colombian coffee!
1. What two South American countries have won the most World Cups in soccer? Brazil and Argentina.
2. From where in South America is the world's most valuable postage stamp? British Guiana (now called Guyana).
3. In what South American country is Devil's Island? French Guyana.
4. What was the first major Hollywood motion picture starring Betty Grable, and also the fabulous Nicholas Brothers? Down Argentine Way.
5. What was the first time that armored vehicles (i.e., tanks) were used in a cross-border war in the Americas, and who used them? The War of the Gran Chaco, between Bolivia and Paraguay from 1928-1935. Bolivia used the armor. Both countries lost, in that their economies were devastated for decades. A treaty demarcating the border was finally signed, if you can believe it, on April 28, 2009.
This Week's Trivia Contest
This week's contest is on the subject of Australia, and the prize will be yet another jazz CD. No peeking on the web, now!
1. What is the state in Australia that is an island?
2. In the song "Waltzing Matilda", what does "Matilda" refer to, and what does "waltzing" her mean?
3. What movie was on the subject of taking aboriginal children away from their parents in order to "civilize" them?
4. In what single battle in WWI did Australia lose the most troops?
5. What is the best selling comic-book in Australia?

'Gun Hill Road' :: Family dynamics, 21st century style
Part tough street film and part sensitive gay character study, "Gun Hill Road" offers a complex and insightful portrait of a family divided told from the perspective of the classic father-son dysfunctional narrative.
The film, the debut effort of Bronx native Rashaad Ernesto Green, asks the question: How does one reconcile a parent's unconditional love for his/her child with the annihilating pressure of one's own cultural beliefs?
Such is the quest of Enrique (the film's protagonist played to perfection by Esai Morales) who, after three years spent in prison, returns home to the Bronx to find the world he once knew has drastically changed. His wife, Angela (Judy Reyes) struggles to hide an emotional affair; while his teenage son, Michael/Vanessa (newcomer Harmony Santana), is shifting identity and social circles much to Enrique's immense despair.
Unable to come to terms with his son's transgender lifestyle choices, Enrique desperately clings on to his instilled macho ideals (as if to preserve his own virility); while Angela in all her feminine woman stereotypical role attempts to keep the family together by protecting Michael. Will Enrique take the journey towards gradual acceptance of his son's true identity to become the father he needs to be or, will he once again risk losing his family and freedom?
"Gun Hill Road" had its world premiere this past January at Sundance 2011 as part of the Festival's Dramatic competition. Since then the film has been accumulating accolades and special recognitions, including being selected for the 2010 Tribeca All Access Program; as well as being named a recipient of the 2009 Spike Lee Fellowship, winner of the Princess Grace Foundation Award, and given a Hollywood Foreign Press Association Grant. It also was recognized by the Urban Arts Initiative in New York and the Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance.
The film opened in limited release in New York and Los Angeles this week. For upcoming dates or to request that the film play at a theater near you, visit the film's website.
EDGE caught up with the young Latino New Yorker filmmaker Rashaad Ernesto Green and the film's breakout star, newcomer Harmony Santana, to talk about the making of the film, its impact on both the Hispanic and the LGBT communities, its homage to the Bronx, and how its narrative dynamic was reflected in real-life situations.
The Bronx connection
EDGE: What does "Gun Hill Road" mean?
Rashaad Ernesto Green: It's street in the Bronx. Because I feel that the Bronx is a character in the story I wanted to have immediate recognition from the title.
It's important because it informs the mindset of the characters and shapes the way they view the world. And it can also be broken down in terms of "gun" referring to Enrique's character violent history. It also works in a double-entendre kind of way.
EDGE: What inspired you to want to tell such a compelling story tackling such controversial, taboo topic as acceptance of alternative lifestyle within the Latin culture?
Rashaad Ernesto Green: It's inspired by someone in my own family who went through something very similar as Enrique. His child was also going through the transition process and he didn't exactly have the tools to understand. I saw the struggle. I saw a man who was broken and I saw a child without her father and I wanted to make a piece of art that didn't necessarily give them all the answers but at least pointed the way that if you put love and family first you can really do anything - everything else becomes secondary.

Don't TRIP on this TRAIL.
The move by Illinois to change the Teachers Retirement Insurance Plan (TRIP) to the Total Retiree Advantage Illinois Plan (TRAIL or is it TRAILP?) is going badly by any measure.
Over the past several weeks I have tried to keep readers up to date with all the information I could gather.
What I haven't done is posted hearsay horror stories that I couldn't confirm. The stories that go, "My brother's sister's cousin tried to find a doctor who took Medicare Advantage in New Jersey…"
What wasn't needed, it seemed to me, was more confusion than had already been created by the decision of Illinois and Central Management Services to roll this massive program out faster than a left turn signal at Damen and Fullerton.
The information seminar schedule has been released. Some of the meetings aren't scheduled until days before retirees must decide what to do.
I have posted the places and times of as many of the seminars as I know about.
Our own retired chapter of IEA – Retired has scheduled our own information meeting with TRIP Director of Outreach Rich Frankenfeld for November 13th.
However, I have been deluged with stories from readers about their difficulties in getting answers from the phone number that Central Management Services provided.
There continues to be unanswered and answered questions about loss of coverage.
We are talking about retirees here. Many who are elderly and are frightened by the change.
The advice I give is don't act in a rash way.
If you have been on TRIP and you don't sign up for TRAIL, you will not be able to go back on at a later time.
Go to the meetings. Bring friends. Ask lots of questions.
A concern that keeps getting asked of me is what about retirees in nursing homes, out-of-state or without internet access?
I don't have the answer and I haven't heard anything from CMS.
Skeptics wonder if this isn't all being done with the end game of the state getting out of the health insurance business.
I wonder too.
Vicki--TRIP retiree permalinkOctober 30, 2013 9:31 am
I went to the CMS website where they have details of the plans for TRIP retirees and State of Illinois retirees, and they are different. TRIP deductible is $259; State of Illinois Retirees is $100. TRIP retirees pay 20% until they reach out of pocket; State of Illinois retirees pay only 10% until they reach the out of pocket. This is for United Health Care PPO. Don't understand why.
October 30, 2013 10:48 am
For better or worse, the TRIP, CIP and state employees plans all differ, starting with the premium paid. TRIP and CIP people have no right to "return" to state plans if they opt out, state employees do. ETC ETC. It all goes back to the original design of the respective plans, it seems.
Ronnie permalinkOctober 30, 2013 10:08 am
I too think there is a "method to their madness" on the part of the state and CMS to ,as you said, "get out of the health insurance business" altogether. I had written to Linda Brookhart, Executive Director of my retirement system, SUAA (I am in SURS) and asked her the question as to why no Medigap option was included for retirees and why this wasn't even brought up at the Oct. 23 COGFA hearing. She confirmed my suspicion by telling me that of course "the state" realized that if a standard Medigap option had been included no one would take the Advantage plan and the state apparently "wants this Medicare Advantage program to fly" as she put it, I also agree that it has been absolutely outrageous how poorly this thing has been handled and "rolled out". Why couldn't they just post on CMS website the same information that we are apparently still waiting for in the mail? I still haven't gotten even the first letter and it's now Oct. 30th. For me, I have been closely following this whole mess since I first found out about how retirees were going to be thrown into a Medicare Advantage Plan last spring and also at that time SB 2404 was being considered and I had made up my mind at that time that I would not give up the 3% compounding COLA so therefore would have to get my own Medigap policy anyway, so I kind of started looking at private insurance options last spring and summer. I do feel so sorry for those poor retirees who are elderly or not "internet savvy" and still know nothing about this, and I suspect there are lots of them out there. I also agree that one shouldn't act rashly (especially if you are in CIP or TRIP and can never opt back in) but also keep in mind "time is of the essence" here and the federal Medicare enrollment clock is ticking and if one is considering a switch to a private Medicare Plan and Part D you really need to be doing your homework, and have everything in order to make the change (if that's what you decide to do) because remember those of us in this "state of Illinois retiree healthcare mess" aren't the only one's who the Medigap insurance companies are dealing with right now. EVERYONE in the private sector is also now reviewing their policies and making changes so to say the insurance companies are busy now is an understatement. Also, for those who decide to opt out and now have to "cobble together" your own coverage, I called Delta Dental Plan to find out about private dental insurance. The person I talked to said that since we are already Delta members through a group that our replacement policy could start right away with no waiting period. They have three levels of plans, Bronze, Silver and Gold (I think). Even the top plan isn't terribly expensive at around $35/month, if I remember correctly. The other plans are even cheaper. However, I also found out we do have very good dental coverage with the state and even going privately with the top plan, the coverage is not at the level of what we have with the state, but, it is coverage if one thinks they need to keep dental insurance..
Elma permalinkOctober 30, 2013 11:33 am
I have to wonder if the same folks who masterminded the website for Obamacare aren't somehow involved in Illinois' TRAIL unfolding debacle. There sure seems to be so much unnecessary confusion, unanswered questions, and misinformation [or no information] for both programs. Who's masterminding these "new and improved" insurance programs, the Three Stooges? In looking at the list of informational meetings, I noticed that a number of them are sponsored by our illustrious state legislators. As I see it, if the legislature is behind this TRAIL program change, it can't be good considering what they're trying to do to us with regard to pension "reform". Supposedly the state is saving money by doing this. Wonder whose pockets are going to be lined with this saved money and which legislators have connections with the few providers chosen to administer these programs. I hope against all hope that my gut feeling is wrong about all this but if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck, it's a duck!
October 30, 2013 12:16 pm
And we in Illinois have ample experience with political ducks.
Ronnie permalinkOctober 30, 2013 5:39 pm
Does anyone have any information regarding if we will be able to keep our dental and vision if we "opt out". Although I am a retiree one of my friends is still working and subscribes to an internal listserv at UIC and forwards the posts on to me. Some of the posts seem to indicate that if we "opt out" we can still keep the dental (and I assume the vision as well) also our life insurance. I had just assumed these would "go" as well with the opt out. Also I think someone posted on this listserv something about if you do decide to opt out you must provide CMS with proof of other coverage. If this is true, then for those of us who do opt out I would assume your time line for obtaining other coverage is even shorter since, as I have said, these insurance companies are swamped this time of year and you would need to have your individual policy in place with proof (i.e., I presume insurance cards) by CMS deadline.
I hope I am wrong, but with each passing day this whole thing just seems to be getting worse and wore to me.
October 31, 2013 4:37 pm
Ronnie, if you are in the state employees group rather than TRIP or CIP, page 7 of the TRAIL booklet says you do keep both life insurance and dental coverage, if you opt out. I had expected to lose dental as well, but for some reason, apparently not. Perhaps it's because we already pay separately for that coverage.

The fighting erupted during a security operation launched near Eruh, in Siirt province, upon a tip-off that militants from the separatist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) were in the area.
The fighting also left three soldiers wounded, they added.
In a separate incident, three soldiers sustained injuries when their vehicle was fired on as they were approaching a small hamlet in the neighbouring province of Sirnak.
PKK rebels were believed to be behind the incident, the sources said.
Since 1984 the PKK took up arms for self-rule in the mainly Kurdish southeast of Turkey [Turkey-Kurdistan] which has claimed around 45,000 lives of Turkish soldiers and Kurdish PKK guerrillas.
A large Turkey's Kurdish community openly sympathise with the Kurdish PKK rebels.
The PKK is considered a 'terrorist' organization by Ankara, U.S., the PKK continues to be on the blacklist list in EU despite court ruling which overturned a decision to place the Kurdish rebel group PKK and its political wing on the European Union's terror list.
The PKK demanded Turkey's recognition of the Kurds' identity in its constitution and of their language as a native language along with Turkish in the country's Kurdish areas, the party also demanded an end to ethnic discrimination in Turkish laws and constitution against Kurds, ranting them full political freedoms.
Last August, the government announced plans to expand Kurdish freedoms in a bid to erode popular support for the PKK and end the insurgency.
Although the drive faltered amid a ban on the country's main Kurdish DTP party, street protests and PKK violence, Ankara has vowed to push ahead with the reforms.

Pilgrim's Progress (Alliance) and Pilgrim's Progress (Horde)
The holiday's five daily quests are all offered by Pilgrim's Bounty NPCs located in major cities (Stormwind, Ironforge, and Darnassus for Alliance: Thunder Bluff, Orgrimmar, and Undercity for Horde). All five can be completed in one day, so if you don't have a lot of time over the week that Pilgrim's Bounty is running, just budget about half an hour on a good day, and you're all set.
For Alliance, the quest links are as follows:
- Can't Get Enough Turkey Bring 20 Slow-Roasted Turkeys to Caitrin Ironkettle outside Ironforge.
- Don't Forget the Stuffing! Bring 20 Spice Bread Stuffing to Caitrin Ironkettle outside Ironforge.
- Easy As Pie Bring 20 pieces of Pumpkin Pie to Mary Allerton outside the gates of Darnassus.
- She Says Potato Bring 20 Candied Sweet Potatoes to Jasper Moore outside Stormwind.
- We're Out of Cranberry Chutney Again? Bring 20 servings of Cranberry Chutney to Ellen Moore outside Stormwind.
- Can't Get Enough Turkey Bring 20 Slow-Roasted Turkeys to Ondani Greatmill outside Orgrimmar.
- Don't Forget the Stuffing! Bring 20 Spice Bread Stuffing to Ondani Greatmill outside Orgrimmar.
- Easy As Pie Bring 20 pieces of Pumpkin Pie to Mahara Goldwheat outside Thunder Bluff.
- She Says Potato Bring 20 Candied Sweet Potatoes to William Mullins in Undercity's courtyard.
- We're Out of Cranberry Chutney Again? Bring 20 servings of Cranberry Chutney to Roberta Carter in Undercity's courtyard.
The Spirit of Sharing buff is gained when you eat all five dishes available at a Bountiful Table: turkey, cranberries, stuffing, sweet potatoes, and pie. For this achievement, you'll have to run to each of your faction's cities, park yourself at each of the five chairs around a Bountiful Table (or ask other people at the chairs to pass you dishes so you can eat them), and gorge your way to the Spirit of Sharing buff. Once you've done this in all four major cities, you'll get the achievement.
The Spirit of Sharing buff is a 10% bonus to all reputation gains for an hour. If you're working on something like 40 Exalted Reputations, the Burning Crusade tabard grind (as we've previously discussed), or desperately accruing Zandalar or Shen'dralar rep before patch 4.0.3a hits, it's nothing to sneeze at.
Pilgrim's Peril (Alliance) and Pilgrim's Peril (Horde)
Blizzard has a peculiar mania for sending players to their deaths in foreign cities. Anyway, Pilgrim's Peril requires you to sit at hostile Bountiful Tables while wearing at least one piece of Pilgrim attire. As all those of us who have done achievements like King of the Fire Festival are painfully aware, this rarely ends well, but sitting is at least quick. On PvE servers you won't get flagged in all of the enemy cities due to feast area placement.
The locations of each capital's feast area are as follows:
- Stormwind Southeast of the main gates (east of the path into the city). Horde players will not get flagged here on PvE servers.
- Ironforge Directly outside the main gates. Horde players will not get flagged here on PvE servers.
- Darnassus Directly east of the main city (in the courtyard between the main gates and the Warrior's Terrace). All players will have to run the length of the city in order to reach the feast area, and Horde players will almost certainly be harassed by guards every step of the way. This is by far the most inconvenient (and for Horde, dangerous) of all eight feast areas to reach. Don't go at server high time.
- The Exodar Directly outside the main city entrance (i.e. eastern side of the main building).
- Orgrimmar Southeast of the main gates (just south of the path to the Undercity/Grom'Gol zeppelin tower). Alliance players will not flagged here on PvE servers.
- Undercity In the Ruins of Lordaeron courtyard immediately inside the main entrance to the city. Despite not being located far into the complex, this is the nastiest area for Alliance to reach, as there's steady Horde traffic from both the zeppelins and Silvermoon teleport, and the entrance to the Ruins is an unfortunate choke point. Don't go at server high time.
- Thunder Bluff Directly below the western elevators. Despite appearing to be outside of the city, the feast area is still within it and will get Alliance players flagged.
- Silvermoon City South of the city's main gates. Alliance players will not get flagged here on PvE servers.
As with all achievements requiring you to enter an enemy city:
- Try to go during your server's off-hours if possible.
- Try not to go alone.
- Plan your route in advance and know which cities you'll hit in which order.
- Budget time in the quite-likely event that some jackass camping the tables decides to make your life miserable.
Talon King Ikiss is the last boss of Sethekk Halls, a Burning Crusade dungeon located in the Auchindoun complex of Terokkar Forest. Fortunately, the achievement doesn't care if you defeat Ikiss on normal or heroic, so if you don't have the requisite Honored reputation with Lower CIty to purchase the Auchenai Key to unlock the heroic version, that doesn't matter. Pick up some Pilgrim attire from the daily quests, head to Sethekk Halls, and you're in business.
As long as you're there, you might as well have a crack at Anzu if you're doing the heroic version and want a shot at the Reins of the Raven Lord. Yes, you can fight him now even if you're not a druid!
Turkey Lurkey (Alliance) and Turkey Lurkey (Horde)
This and The Turkinator were the two big irritants last year. We've already discussed why The Turkinator can make life difficult, but unless your server is home to an unusually high number of orc, dwarf, gnome, and troll rogues, then this achievement can give you some grief too.
Turkey Shooters, like Pilgrim clothing, are potential rewards from the holiday's daily quests. Getting a Shooter is very easy, but finding one rogue of each race might keep you occupied for a bit. Once you've finished off your own faction, your best bet is to sit outside the other faction's district in Dalaran praying for a few rogues to show up. However, if last year is any indication, enterprising players will roll rogues from the less-played races, beg a summon from a friendly warlock in Dalaran, and park themselves in a high-traffic area to grant achievements to a grateful public. On my server, several level one rogues with names like Shootmepls and Turkeytime were lined up on Dalaran bank steps.

(2.0L 4-cyl. 5-speed Manual)
An update at 3yrs, 10 months. Winter mileage has gotten a bit better, usually 27mpg city/hwy mix, summer 30-31mpg pretty consistently (36-39 hwy only) but MN winter was freakishly warm with only one half-***-ed snowstorm this year, that could be the difference. Kind of disappointed the mileage didn't creep up a little higher as the engine "loosened up". A coworker who is a 6'5" BIG guy has a 2010 and has plenty of room, and gets 40mpg city/hwy - WOT?!!! ESC impresses me more and more, had a spinout situation at nearly freeway speed on sharp icy curve and kept it under control. Manufacturer recall on the center console drink spilling-electrical shortage danger took care of that potential problem. Aftermarket lowbeams I've bought are crap, lasted 7 months each so don't buy Eiko brand! Only regrets now are that they brought back the discontinued hatchback/wagon (as Elantra Touring) a year after I bought mine, not having outside temp gauge, and that the foglights only run with the regular headlights on. Surely that's not right, is it? Also, the radio's display went blank for about three days - radio still worked - then it came back! Hmmm. When it happens permanently, I will get an HD radio and probably put it in myself, those XM preview stations are annoying and I'm NOT going to pay for radio play!

No approach for Bhasera
Posted: January 09, 2013|
Comments (0)
THERE HAVE not been any approaches from rival clubs for Onismor Bhasera (right), according to Argyle sources.
The Zimbabwe international has been linked with League One outfits Shrewsbury Town and Walsall.
There has also been speculation about interest in the left-sided player from League Two club Northampton Town.
Bhasera signed for the Pilgrims as a free agent in March 2010, when they were still in the Championship.
The 26-year-old has made a total of 95 appearances and scored four goals.

Delta Air Lines plans a 4% network-wide cut in capacity following the 5 September US Labor Day holiday due to higher fuel costs, says company CEO Ed Bastian.
"Sitting and hoping that high fuel prices are going to go away or that high fuel prices are going to fall is not a strategy," said on Bastian on 19 May at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Transportation Conference in Boston.
Bastian says the carrier plans to move ahead with retirement of 140 domestic aircraft, along with a 1-3% year-over-year capacity reduction by "right sizing a couple of our hubs" with Memphis departures set to fall by 25%.
Delta's trans-atlantic capacity is also set to fall by 10-12% through market cancellations and frequency reductions, carried forward in conjunction with reductions from SkyTeam alliance members, Air France/KLM and Alitalia.
Capacity across the Atlantic had been scheduled to grow 7-8% in late 2011, said Bastian, but total joint venture capacity is now set to fall 7-9%.
While Pacific capacity had been up double digits over the last 18 months, Delta will reduce capacity by 1-3%, driven by the slow recovery of the Japanese market in the wake of the 11 March earthquake and tsunami.
In contrast, Latin American capacity will grow 2-4% taking advantage of "strong revenue and economic growth patterns" in the region, said Bastian, who added that margins on those routes are "some of the strongest in the business".
Bastian said Delta is now forecasting an "all-in" price of $3.20 per gallon of jet fuel, including transportation and taxes.

This is superfood to add to the healthy living style: to salad bowl, to green smoothies, to yogurts, etc. when you have not real raw fresh kale at home. Green leafy vegetables is not just food, but even the cure in various ailments.

Smells and tastes just like fresh kale. Also love that it is organic.

Freud was fascinated by the mysteries of creativity and the imagination. The groundbreaking works that comprise The Uncanny present some of his most influential explorations of the mind. In these pieces Freud investigates the vivid but seemingly trivial childhood memories that often "screen" deeply uncomfortable desires; the links between literature and daydreaming; and our intensely mixed feelings about things we experience as "uncanny." Also included is Freud's celebrated study of Leonardo Da Vinci-his first exercise in psychobiography.

BOISE, Idaho - A Caldwell, Idaho, man who amassed one of the biggest collections of child pornography ever discovered by law enforcement in Idaho was sentenced today to 14 years in federal prison and a lifetime of supervised release for possession of child pornography, following an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Daniel M. Davis, 49, became a suspect in a nationwide child pornography investigation after ICE agents discovered his personal information and credit card data on a server that contained payments for memberships to known child pornography websites.
The data showed that Davis had purchased child pornography on three occasions in October and November of 2006. These transactions occurred while Davis was on supervised release and participating in sex offender treatment following a 2002 conviction for receipt of child pornography.
In August 2007, ICE agents executed a search warrant at the home the defendant shared with his elderly mother. During the search, 242 printed images of child pornography were seized. Many of the photos were neatly organized in binders.
Agents also seized computer equipment, including a laptop that contained 3,129 sexually explicit images of minors. The home Davis shared with his mother was located less than 100 yards from a park and playground equipment.
After Davis was arrested, he convinced his mother to hide another hard drive and other electronic media, which was later discovered to contain more than 60,000 additional images and 381 videos of child pornography. According to ICE investigators, this hard drive contained the largest collection of child pornography ever encountered in Idaho.
Davis entered a guilty plea to possession of child pornography in June 2008. This was his second conviction on child pornography charges; he had previously pleaded guilty to federal charges of receiving child pornography in June 2002. He was sentenced to serve two years in prison followed by three years of supervised release, which included treatment for sexual deviancy
Davis served his prison time, successfully finished his period of supervision, and registered as a sex offender. However within months of completing his term of supervised release, ICE re-arrested him and charged with him with possession of child pornography.
"This case is a graphic reminder of the important responsibility ICE has to seek out those who use the Internet to sexually exploit innocent children," said Leigh Winchell, special agent in charge of the ICE Office of Investigations that oversees Idaho. "ICE remains committed to investigating these child predators - whether they are first-time offenders or recidivists - and have them removed from our communities."
U.S. District Judge Edward J. Lodge stated at the sentencing hearing, "This is one of the most heinous cases of child pornography in the court's experience." The judge went on to say that the defendant had been "given leniency when sentenced [previously] in 2002, and obviously didn't learn anything from that because he re-offended while on supervised release."
This case was investigated under Operation Predator, a nationwide ICE initiative to protect children from sexual predators, including Internet child pornographers, those who travel overseas for sex with minors, criminal alien sex offenders, and child sex traffickers. Since Operation Predator was launched in July 2003, ICE agents have arrested more than 11,600 individuals.
ICE encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-DHS-2ICE. This hotline is staffed around the clock by investigators.

NFL Free Agent Update: Sidney Rice Goes Untagged
Categories: Aaron Schafer, Rams
|Tagging. It's a pun. Come on, someone has to think that's funny.
Of course, he's only due to be a free agent this year if there is, in fact, free agency, a fact which I am becoming increasingly tired of being forced to note every time the issue of who the Rams might look into signing comes up. I think I'm going to start just using an acronym instead of pointing out the whole free agency issue. Maybe just throw ITIFAAA (If There Is Free Agency At All), out there whenever talking about potential free agents.
So, back to Sidney Rice, who appeared likely to receive the transition tag from the Vikings. In a very sensible move, Minnesota has decided to slap the franchise tag on linebacker Chad Greenway. It also appears, according to the current CBA, that teams can only use the transition tag on players with at least six full years of service time, which Rice does not. Thus, it appears Sidney Rice will be heading for free agency after all. ITIFAAA.
(See? That works. You know what I'm talking about, and I'm saved from having to type out the whole thing about free agency not being guaranteed to happen. Of course, typing this out has now robbed me of any word savings I was banking with the acronym.)
I say it was a wise decision to franchise Greenway instead of Rice because, depending on the terms of the next collective bargaining agreement, Rice may only have enough service time to make him a restricted free agent, meaning the Vikings would receive compensation from any team who signs him, whereas Greenway would have been an unrestricted free agent. Thus, the Vikings may be able to get something for Rice if he leaves, whereas that wasn't an option with Greenway.
So considering the Rams' need at wide receiver (and also considering the fact very few receivers made much of an impact right out of the gate when drafted), how interested should they be in Rice? Well, it partly depends on whether he ends up restricted or not; if you have to pay for him in both dollars and draft picks he becomes much, much less attractive.
Beyond the issue of just what sort of free agent Rice may be, though (ITIFAAA), there are some injury concerns with him. He missed a large portion of the 2010 season, playing in only six games, and appeared somewhat limited when he did play by both a hip injury and a concussion. Still, his talent is undeniable, and would offer the Rams a dimension they were sorely lacking in the passing game in 2010.
If Rice hits the market as a restricted free agent I don't see much chance at all of the Rams making a serious play for him. This team is still too much in the building phase to be giving up draft picks. You could argue bringing in Rice would give the team a bigger boost than most draft picks, but it's tough to say that for certain. I personally would expect the Rams to look at resigning Mark Clayton and trying to figure out just what they have at wide receiver in 2011 with a healthy Donnie Avery and a full season of Clayton and Danario Alexander. Even if Rice goes to free agency unrestricted I honestly don't see the Rams coming away with him. Then again, it's also possible Rice could look around, take stock of all the potential landing spots, and decide he wouldn't mind catching passes from Sam Bradford for the next four or five seasons.
