Q: What is the status of the new program addition to Berry College, the Bachelor of Science in Nursing? A: Berry College was granted initial approval for a baccalaureate degree program in nursing by the Georgia Board of Nursing (GBON) in November 2012. The first nursing courses will be available at Berry in January 2014.
Q: When will applications be accepted for the Nursing Program? A: The inaugural class of nursing students may begin applying for admission to the Nursing Program on April 1,2013. Nursing admission decisions will be made by July 15, 2013. The first cohort of admitted students will pursue a fast-track option in which students will go to class in four consecutive terms, including spring, summer and fall 2014 and spring 2015, with graduation projected for May 2015. The second class of students may apply to the nursing program beginning October 1,2013. Nursing admission decisions for this class will be made by March 1, 2014. The second class will begin nursing courses in Fall 2014 with graduation projected for May 2016. The second class will follow the traditional fall, spring, fall, and spring sequence of coursework. The first step for students interested in pursuing a nursing degree at Berry is to complete the general admission process. Admission to the nursing program requires additional application after enrollment to Berry, and space is limited.
Q: What classes should I take? A: Prospective nursing students are encouraged to begin the general-education courses that are required for all Berry degrees. A new cohort of nursing students will begin every fall semester starting in fall 2014. Follow this link for a more detailed Curriculum.
Q: Why is earning a nursing degree a good career choice? A: Because nurses with baccalaureate degrees are in high demand and will continue to be in the foreseeable future. National studies suggest that Georgia alone will face a shortage of nearly 40,000 registered nurses (RNs) by 2020 if effective action is not taken, and national numbers are even more staggering. The Institute of Medicine released its landmark report on The Future of Nursing, initiated by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which called for increasing the number of baccalaureate-prepared nurses in the workforce to 80% and doubling the population of nurses with doctoral degrees. The current nursing workforce falls far short of these recommendations with only 50% of registered nurses prepared at the baccalaureate or graduate degree level. ( http://thefutureofnursing.org )
Q: Will the Berry/Emory Dual-Degree program still remain an option? A: While Berry students continue to have access to a strong dual-degree nursing program with Emory University, it requires nursing students to leave Berry's campus and to spend five full years earning a nursing degree.
Q: How does the Berry BSN program differ from the Emory Dual Degree Program?A: See comparison below:

One more thing: I've decided to start including one link to an older post from The Simple Dollar in each morning roundup. I realized that I have more than a thousand posts here and that most of my readers will have likely missed out on some of the good stuff that was posted early on. If you really don't like these links (remember, just one a day), please let me know – I'm mostly just highlighting interesting stuff from the archives.
The Simple Dollar Retro: Mastering Coupons (Without Being A Coupon Nut) I really enjoy re-reading these earlier articles because I see the same ideas I have now, just voiced a bit differently. Here, I outline my basic, simple coupon strategy – I basically think spending hours hunting coupons is a waste of time, but if you do it right, you can get most of the money saving effect of coupon hunting without a whole lot of effort. Since then, I've honed the strategy a bit (using coupon brokers and such), but this lays down the foundation of how I use coupons to trim my grocery bill.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Nice article...
The biggest problem with RP in modern MMOs is the fact that the interface discourages it.
Mainly, I mean the chat system. Group, team, guild, etc... all the private chat channels that exist create small islands of people in a huge world. It is nuts that the most "chat" you might find is in the global channel in the barrens and sometimes a runaway trade channel.
A trip in the time machine to Ultima Online shows the power of a simple chat system. In UO, you spoke and everyone heard you... period. You could whisper, but then only the people right next to you could hear you, but also so could everyone next to you, so if you truly wanted to talk private, you went someplace private. Of course, a stealthy player might sneak up and eavesdrop on your conversation.
In UO, if you wanted to talk to someone across the world, you had to use these crazy speaking stone things that worked like crap, but it was an interesting direction.
I truly believe that RP servers should actually have something to encourage RP. Just adding in the ability to report an offending name? Come on!
The first thing RP servers should do is make all chat appear as speech bubbles above a person's head - period. So if you are talking on guild channel, everyone around you can hear. Trust me when I say this alone will encourage LOTS more player interaction with strangers. RPers tend to like to randomly interaction with people too, spreading the idea of RPing around and making it more fun in many regards. Which then encourages the people not exposed to much RP to do it more.
Again, back in the UO days we had entire player towns (a large collection of player buildings and the "town" blessed by the GMs as a community) that would RP. At least 120+ unique visitors and residents that would seriously RP. The kicker is, UO never even had a RP server... all servers had lots of RP happening all around them.
RP in MMOs started to die in EQ when the chat interface made it hard for random player interaction to happen.
I love the idea of whispers actually being heard by really close by people.
Personally I can't imagine anything more immersion breaking than speechbubbles, and I find the ability to chat outside of RP (as in guild or party chat) extremely important to foster friendship and camaraderie, but wouldn't want it to interrupt someone else's RP either.
Chat bubbles would drive me nuts. Not from a "privacy" point of view, but from a utility point of view. They clog the screen, in my opinion. I turn them off for a reason. They're distractive and visually annoying. And frankly, I don't want to know what the guy next to me is saying. If i was interested in talking to him I would talk to him.
Sorry, but you have to balance out the practicality with the desire for greater realism. There are reasons that you can, for instance, walk though other players but not walk through walls. Giving everyone and every in game object a rigid form might make for greater realism, but walking around or jumping over every shrub, tripping on critters that don't get out of your way, and running into another player who is a little lagged so their form in game is in a different spot than where you see it, all might be more realistic but would be totaly impracticle for game play.
Same goes for in game chat. Too much clutter is not a desireable addition to the game. People have to have the option of not listening to you, and not having you be able to listen to them.

Bob argued, but the tech was intractable. Bob eventually gave up. "We've bought a Toshiba laptop and are very happy," he says.
But it was the letter I got from a spokesperson at HP that made me hope that HP's recent efforts at beefing up support are paying off. (Both Frank's and Bob's experiences date from a few years back.) Back in my March post "HP's big bet on better tech support," Jodi Schilling, vice president of America's customer support operations at HP, told me, "We are investing in the support space in a way that we haven't in the past. We are moving toward a leadership position in the industry in this area."
The spokesperson's letter about Stacy's case was meant to bring me up to speed on what's happened since I reported on Stacy's initial gripe.
"We did some more research into the matter, and Stacy's notebook battery was not part of a recall," the spokesperson notes. (This recall is what led Stacy to believe HP should cover the repairs on his laptop and why he refused several offers for discounted repair.) "HP reached out to Stacy this week and offered him a replacement laptop, which he accepted. He was very happy with the resolution. HP is also investigating his claims regarding his initial support interaction and will take appropriate action there."
All's well that ends well? So it would seem. Stacy reports that he was "surprised and elated" when HP contacted him and offered to replace his old laptop -- at that point taken apart for parts in the hope of selling them off on eBay -- with a brand new one. "They even offered me a choice between three models." He reports. And proving that, even when a problem has gone this far, it is possible to turn it back into an opportunity, this action has restored Stacy's faith in HP. "Although this whole ordeal has taken a long time with a lot of negativity towards HP on my part," he says. "I am very satisfied with the end result and will continue to use and support HP products."

How to Write a Conclusion for an Essay
A conclusion is an important element within your essay or research paper. It is the parting statement on which you will end you analysis or argument. If it is weak or vague it may diminish the overall impact your work has on the reader.
If you've spent many hours researching, writing and revising then the last thing you want to do is turn in a paper that has a weak ending. Using the following guidelines you can quickly find out how to write a conclusion that gives your essay the wow factor.
How to Write a Conclusion for an Essay Step-By-Step
Before you begin writing more words into your essay, it's worthwhile first writing down the elements you would like to include in your conclusion on a separate piece of paper (or on a separate word processing document or file).
This will help you to focus solely on the conclusion rather than how the conclusion integrates with the rest of the paper.
Step One – Summarize Your Facts and Thoughts
Start by making bullet points of the principles of your paper and the argument you have put forward. List the key points you wish to make, along with a simple explanation of their importance within your paper.
This simple technique helps to ensure that your conclusion is not missing any important information (it's absolutely essential that your conclusion finalises all of the important information contained within your essay, missing a key point could be very costly when your paper is marked!)
Discuss the ideas your paper has raised, rather than repeating them, and don't start your conclusion with 'to conclude', as your first need to summarise the ground that has been covered!
Step Two – Openly Discuss Any Unanswered Questions
Your essay is likely to have raised issues that have been left unsettled or unanswered. Failure to acknowledge these hanging questions in your conclusion could again cost you vital marks.
Once you have acknowledged the areas that require further investigation it is then time to move the conclusion forward by using phrases such as 'however,' and 'in spite of this'. Use these phrases to join the unresolved scenarios with the facts and theories that you have discussed in your paper.
Step Three – Hammer Home Your Argument or Data
Your conclusion must review the data, theories and ideas that you have put forward in your paper. You need to demonstrate how your evidence supports the thesis, and how the paper works as a whole rather than as individual paragraphs or sections. Your conclusion should take a firm, almost unapologetic tone that really makes the reader feel confident in the data and argument that you have put forward.
Step Four – Getting Your Reader to Accept and Agree With Your Argument
In order for a reader to be convinced you need to not just assert your paper as a collection of infallible truths, you also need to use your conclusion to get the reader to accept and agree with your principles, premise and conclusions.
This is the hardest part of writing a conclusion, but use your passion to your advantage and argue your case as hard as you can in as few words as possible (after all, an obvious truth will not require a long, drawn out explanation!
Step Five – Summarise, Question and Part
You will need to end your conclusion on a summary of your argument, and you will need to pose a question for your audience to consider.
You will then need to write a parting sentence that leaves yours audience feeling convinced of your argument but still in a contemplative mood.
Step Six – Review and Revise
It's always a good idea to review your conclusion at least 24 hours after writing it, to ensure that you are completely satisfied with the last piece in your paper.
Don't be surprised if you need to make revisions but don't be afraid of maintaining a confident tone throughout your conclusion.
Be sure to keep a copy of all of the essays that you produce, and try to read essays on a regular basis. By reading and reviewing the works of others you will learn vital essay writing skills, and you will learn how to write a conclusion.

As theEword has grown, we have remained committed to these principles and to have our achievement recognised through this nomination is just brilliant."
Recognising its position in the industry, theEword was named one of the ten best SEO agencies in the UK in 2009/10. Al was also named in North West Business Insider's North West 42 Under 42 in 2010, and Crain's 40 under 40 in 2009.
Winners of the DEAs will be announced at an award ceremony in Manchester on 1st December 2010.

BRANCH COUNTY (WKZO) -- State Police are investigating a fatal crash in Coldwater Township Saturday afternoon that could result in charges.
They say 75-year-old Bobby King of Coldwater was westbound on U.S.12 when he slowed to make a left turn at Nash Road and was rear-ended by a semi-truck.
The impact of the collision sent King's car across the centerline and into oncoming traffic, where it slammed into a vehicle driven by a 64-year-old Robin Shaw of Coldwater.
Ms. Shaw was treated for minor injuries and released, her son was a passenger but was not injured.
King was pronounced dead at the scene.
The semi-driver was not injured.
Troopers say it doesn't appear that drugs or alcohol were involved, but will forward their investigation to the Branch County prosecutor to determine if charges are warranted.

Inkberry is a quicker-growing substitute for Boxwood and adapts readily to shady or wet sites, but becomes somewhat leggy with age (not shown here, as this is a younger specimen with foliage to the base). The cultivar 'Green Magic' is a compact cultivar that shows its legginess the least with age, with 'Densa', 'Nordic', and 'Shamrock' good alternative choices for this criteria. 'Compacta' and the species form get moderately large and quite leggy with age.

Turkey Trot Before You Gobble: A Running Tradition At Any Age
Written on November 27, 2013 at 10:18 am , by Lauren Cardarelli
Thanksgiving is all about tradition so before diving into a slice of killer homemade pumpkin pie, many runners lace up and join together for a holiday-inspired footrace. Run to eat—why not?
This upcoming day of thanks is no different than the past 26 for 82-year-old Willa Porter, who will be earning herself yet another race tee at the nation's sixth largest turkey trot in Dana Point. For the speedy former marathoner (she wins her age group every single year in the 5K), the annual fit festivity provides an opportunity to give it her all with kids and grandkids in tow. Supporting the race's charitable partners like the Dana Point 5th Marine Regiment is also important to Porter, especially since her husband holds a chair position for support group.
Known as "The Race Before You Stuff Your Face," the Dana Point Turkey Trot 5K, 10K and Kids' Gobble Wobble has become a Californian favorite that stretches along breathtaking Orange County cliffs and coves. "It is so beautiful and family-friendly," says Porter.
So how does the inspirational athlete brine her bird and keep dinner on schedule if she's out there pounding the pavement? "I [used to] prepare food the night before and put the turkey in the oven before I left for the race," explains Porter, but things are easier now that her sons—grown with families of their own—take turns hosting. The last two years, she also participated in the turkey dinner for veterans and military following the race, and will celebrate the same way next week.
Despite being in tip-top shape now, Porter didn't start competing – or really exercising regularly – until her late 40s. "I started jogging and bike riding in my late forties when my sons were almost grown and I had more time," she says, adding that it wasn't so much of a goal as it was a hobby and fun recreation. Her one piece of advice: give running a try, no matter what age. Cheers to that!

Take a Walk on the Wild Side This Thanksgiving
Written on November 26, 2013 at 10:11 am , by FITNESS Intern
Written by Alena Hall, editorial intern
With Thanksgiving only a few days away, many of us are starting to feel the stress creeping up. Yes, it's one of the best holidays when it comes to gathering with friends and family, not to mention indulging in some delicious eats. But extensive preparation often cuts into our stress-relieving workout time, and the focus on food can really threaten our waistlines. So why not take a bit of your Thanksgiving celebration outside this year?
The National Wildlife Refuge is hosting several fitness events across the country that honor our feathered friends in their natural state. The upcoming walks and runs coordinate with some of the peak migratory bird seasons, so you just might get to see Mr. Turkey trotting nearby! Check out these Thanksgiving-themed events for fun ways to get the whole family out and about together.
- Ready to get moving? Join in the Modoc National Wildlife Refuge's Turkey Trot 5K Walk/Run on Thursday, Nov. 28, at 9 a.m. for just $20. You'll see plenty of mule deer, eagles, Canada geese and mallard ducks.
- Rather go with the flow? The Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge is hosting the Bird Migration Walk on Saturday, Nov. 30, 1-2:30 p.m. Free to all visitors, this walk features peaceful views full of shorebirds, wading birds and waterfowl.
- Walk off all that turkey with the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge's Turkey Walk on Saturday, Nov. 30, 1:30-3:30 p.m. With a little luck, you'll see some wild turkeys, deer, red foxes, bald eagles, great blue herons and hawks on this free, easy stroll.
Can't make it out to one of these events? No problem! The refuge trails are open from sunrise to sunset daily—even Thanksgiving Day. Search for a fun spot near you on the Refuge's trail system website and get moving. What better way to give thanks for your health?

Get Fit and Give Thanks with St. Jude – You Could Win Tickets to LIVE! with Kelly and Michael!
Written on November 13, 2013 at 9:42 am , by FITNESS Intern
Written by Alena Hall, editorial intern
As Thanksgiving swiftly approaches, it's difficult for us to contain our enthusiasm. From the gathering of family and friends to football face-offs, we've all got quite a bit to be thankful for. So why not celebrate a few days early this year by giving back to those who could use the support?
On Saturday, Nov. 23, 75 cities across the country will host the St. Jude Give thanks. Walk, a noncompetitive 5K that helps raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The event has raised more than $11 million to date and hopes to increase that number with the help of you and your loved ones.
If you're ready to take your Thanksgiving spirit to the next level, join the walk as a team to help with the fundraising process. All money raised helps St. Jude families forego the cost of treatment for their children, and supports the hospital's research efforts. As if that isn't enough of an incentive, all participants who receive 10 online donations before November 22 will be entered into a drawing for a trip for two to New York City! While in the Big Apple, the lucky couple will attend a live taping of LIVE! with Kelly and Michael and take a photo with affable co-host Michael Strahan.
Visit the St. Jude website to find a walk near you. (Most are free to register!) Can you think of a better way to celebrate the Saturday before Thanksgiving? We definitely can't.

For Immediate Release:Democratic CaucusLouisville Metro CouncilContact: Tony Hyatt: 574-4137 / 526-3622Louisville – In an effort to help parents get children ready for school, Councilman David James (D-6) and the 1st Gethsemane Center for Family Development are sponsoring the 2013 Health Fair and Back to School Supplies Giveaway for needy families in the community.
"It is important that our children begin the school year with the tools they need to learn with supplies and a healthy attitude," says James. "The entire family will be able to take advantage of the Health Fair which offers information to lead a healthier lifestyle and will help families grow."
The 18th Annual Health Fair and Back to School Supplies Giveaway is set for Saturday, August 10th at the 1st Gethsemane Center, 1221 First Gethsemane Avenue from 12:00pm to 4:00pm.

The Wii U has been very quiet since it launched last November. Nintendo knows it needs to show what is on the horizon and that is exactly what they say they will do with another Nintendo Direct broadcast starting tomorrow at 9am EST. Why did I add that "finally" up there? Click more for my thoughts on the current Wii U status.
I am very high on the Wii U, but am a little puzzled by the lack of games at this point in the system's life. Nintendo says they learned important lessons with the 3DS launch, but they continue to make the same mistakes. No virtual console on the Wii U (no, the Wii version doesn't count, cuz you can't play on the gamepad), long periods with no new retail games, and nothing (and I mean NOTHING) new on the Wii U eShop for weeks. Exactly what lessons were learned by Nintendo? Maybe something will come out of this ND presentation, but I have found that one should not get terribly excited by these things. You will only be disappointed. I'll update this post tomorrow if anything amazing is announced.
Update #1: Rumor is that Nintendo will announce the Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow…possibly with Gamecube games. Would this be enough to satisfy hungry Wii U owners? Hmm…I'll wait and see if this is true before commenting on it. T-minus 11.5 hours and counting…
Update #2: Turns out the Wii U VC was announced today, but only NES, SNES, and GBA titles were mentioned. Demo versions of VC games will come out soon. The service will not launch for real until Spring or Summer.

Wow. They invented a lightsaber. Yes, I knew about high power lasers already, but the Spyder III Portable Laser from Wicked Lasers is in a class all by itself. With the ability to set things on fire and permanently blind people, due to its 1W beam taken from Casio's Green Slim projectors, it's basically as powerful as a lightsaber, too. And that press photo uses some dramatic lighting to drive the point home. They even include "LaserShades," which are safety goggles with a ridiculous name. Don't mess with the guy with the LaserShades. Compared to previous models, this laser is at a much more affordable price point, which means we might be seeing an army of laser warriors soon.
The Spyder III is available now for $200.

Lindsay Lohan is DESPERATE to avoid jail time ... so much so, she's enlisted the help of her spiritual advisor to make sure that happens.
Sources close to LiLo tell TMZ ... the actress is asking friends, family and her spiritual guru (yup, some people have those) to write letters on her behalf to the judge hearing her case. Lindsay believes the letters will help prove jail is not the best option for her.
TMZ broke the story ... Lindsay is currently facing up to 245 days in the slammer for her recent probation violation. Or the judge has the option to send her to counseling instead.
We're told Lindsay is convinced a letter from the spiritual advisor will have the most impact. Specifically because he's been helping her since 2008 -- following her 2nd DUI arrest -- and can vouch for the fact that LiLo has benefited from counseling in the past. When she shows up.
As we previously reported, Commissioner Jane Godfrey -- who will arraign LiLo -- isn't big on jail regardless and often times chooses counseling over serving time.
A hearing is scheduled for January 25th.
ROTFLMAO! She's had a spiritual advisor since the 2nd DUI? Has she been paying this person money? Is that why she went all adderall rage over the fvcking gypsy because she wanted to give her a FREE reading and Crackie realized she had been HAD all of this time? ROTFLMAO!!! On another note, if this post is actually true, everyone who has had contact with this slag and her "lovely" family should write a letter urging for a life sentence for Crackie w/o parole. I'll start.... Years ago, when I was visiting NYC, I came face to face with Dina and Ali as I was heading to MOMA. A 1/2 block from my hotel, Ali inadvertantly bumped ME standing outside Henri Bendel. Dina hissed "watch it b.i.t.c.h, don't you know who we are?" They were holding a ceremony for Crackie's leggings being sold there. Who knew? At the time I didn't know who they were and Ali was just wearing a skimpy shirt, shoes and some leggings-nothing more. I said, "Why, are you two famous?" Ali rolled her eyes and said, " I'm Aliana, Lindsay's sister!" "Lindsay-as in Lohan?" I inquired. "So I take it you're not homeless and don't need a donation to clothe your nearly naked daughter?" Little did I know back then that I would someday be right. Here they are practically homeless and Crackie's clothes are locked up in unpaid storage. As for Crackie, I actually ran into her as she was going into the ladies' room of a beachfront restuarant/hotel in Santa Monica right before her Samro days. She was at an outside table but kept coming back inside to "use" the ladies room every 10 minutes. She was tweaking and everyone, me included, was laughing at her sorry a.s.s. She was bogarting the bathroom and I had to tell her "FVCK OFF!" when she tried to block me from entering to use the facilities. Fortunately for Crackie, she wasn't in a punch happy mood because we GRITS(girls raised in the south) take shyt from no one. These 2 incidents while seemingly benign on the surface, illustrate the arrogance and entitlement they have always had. They expect special treatment for deigning to mingle with us common folk. ALL of them need a bytch slap back into reality.
Well now I know what to direction I should push my seven year old daughter in for a career...spiritual advisor for terrible celebrities. CHA-CHING!
WTF? She'll NEVER learn. She's gone from lying her ass off again and blaming everyone else around her. Hey dumb ass, you are what you hang out with. NOW she's trying to butter up the judge through the tabloids. DESPERATE or SMART?
I wanted to say something but what is left to say? I can only hope it does not any stranger.
What about the Psychic Friends Network or Miss Cleo for references? Then Batman or the Justice League of America? What about the cookie monster?
Oh I know what about the homeless guy that hangs around the court house? The judge might actually know him.
Does she have any dogs or cats that could vouch for her?
Amazing the amount of parasites one considers as necessary friends. If any judge would actually use a letter from someones "spiritual adviser" as credible do***entation that said judge should be put in the cell next to her.
Will this skank just crawl in a hole and die already. She is as about as welcome as a hemroid.
Atleast she has to sweat it out for about 5 weeks.
Rehab for impulse control is called JAIL.....there was no impulses it is a calculated series of reckless irresponsible decisions that led to this. The night before she crashed her Porsche she decided to go out partying even though she had to work and it was a weeknight. She decided to drive because she was late and decided to speed. she decided to lie to the police. She decided while on probation to go to concerts and after the concerts to go to clubs drinking till 4am. These are not impulses they are immature reckless childish spoiled behavior....
If it's so lucrative, why aren't you doing it? Go away!!
ROTFLMAO!!! She's had a spiritual advisor guiding her all of time? Well, no wonder she took her adderall rage out on a gypsy. This explains it all!!!
These morons who keep giving her breaks are contributing to her destruction. Would we get the same treatment? I don't think so. Enough of this Hollywood justice turnstile. Hold these people accountable for their actions.
Instead of doing all of these gimmicks to save her ass, she should just do what she is supposed to.
Seriously, if she put in half as much effort into reestablishing/ cleaning herself up as she has into all the clubbing, drama, lying and legal shortcuts...she possibly could have gone on to becoming somewhat legitimate.
Ugh she is so ridiculous....common sense is lost on her.

What is meant by 'old mountain'?, one may ask. Names of this type usually refer to the fact that a place was cleared for agricultural exploitation at an early date and acquired their name when activity shifted to a new area. Shanlieve is the 237th highest summit in Ireland.

Looking S to Finlieve from Shanlieve summit.
The most westerly 600m top in the Mournes
Short Summary created by Harry Goodman
23 Nov 2011
Route 1: Start Leitrim Lodge car park
(Point A)
. Follow the track SE up to the Castle Bog
(Point B)
. Follow one of the tracks S through the bog to Bratts Wall
(Point C)
, turn left (SE) and follow it along. A break in the wall occurs near tiny Shanlough (a deep boggy area) where it is replaced by a wire fence, before re-appearing further along. It is advisable, whatever the underfoot conditions, to seek out firmer ground to the N or S of Shanlough and not try to go along the fence line. Once around Shanlough come back to the wall for the steep climb up to Shanlieve. As the summit lies to the right and to the S of the wall keep it on the left on the way up. Where the wall levels out and turns NE
(Point D)
, walk S a short distance to the summit cairn. Route 2: Start from Attical Community Centre car park
(Point E)
. Go NE and turn left into Sandy Brae. After 2k cross a footbridge
(Point F)
and then go left along a stone wall to a stile. Head NW up a long spur to pick up a track
(Point G)
and then up to
(Point H)
. The summit lies 700m along NW up the slope.
A climb of Shanlieve is normally included in a circuit that will also include Eagle Mt., given it's close proximity. It is also a good point to access the long, broad, flat ridge S to Finlieve, not a MV listed top but well worth a visit.

Western Mournes Hike
22 Apr 2012
I think Shanlieve is best climbed as part of a circuit of a longer walk rather than in isolation. Due to its close proximity of Eagle mountain and given the fact that Eagle mountain is taller, spectacular views would be missed if one stopped at Shanlieve. I recently climbed this mountain as part of a circuit which took in Shanlieve, Eagle, Slievemoughanmore, wee Slievemoughan and Rocky mountain. Starting from Leitrim Lodge, we followed the path which ran from the car park towards Pierce's Castle. To the right of the path lay Altataggart and Tievedockaragh and to the left of the path lay Rocky mountain, Tornamrock and Pierce's Castle. Unfortunately, this path does come to an end after Pierce's Castle. Thereafter, there is marshy pathless terrain to cover as we headed toward the Mourne wall, leading up to Shanlieve. This is the first steep ascent of the walk. However, upon summiting Shanlieve, nice views were to had of the Binnians and Slievenaglogh. Turning left, we followed the wall towards Eagle mountain. For me, the best part of hillwalking is the point when an extensive panoranma opens up very suddenly, when all one sees beforehand is the mountain which is being climbed. Arguably, Eagle mountain, is the best mountain in the Mournes in this respect. Extensive views are to had in every direction: Turning clockwise: Hen, Cock, Slievemoughanmore, Butter, Slieve Muck, Bernagh, Commedagh, Donard, Binnain, Slievenalogh, Finlieve, Shanlieve, Slieve Foye/Gullion in the Cooleys. We followed the wall from Eagle to the Windy Gap and thereafter climbed Slievemoughanmore. I would strongly recommend turning away from the wall as one draws near the summit. The summit cairn is a reached by turning left from the wall when the plateau flattens after the ascent from Windy Gap. The summit cairn offers decent views of the Spelga Dam and the valley between Cock/Hen and Rocky/Tornamrock. We descended towards wee Slievemoughan. This is probably, the smallest mountain in the Mournes. After summiting we headed towards the valley between Rocky mountain (opposite Hen) and Tornamrock. At this point, it is possible to return to Leitrim Lodge or, alternatively, take in Rocky. The main reason to take in Rocky mountain is simply this: you can admire all the mountains which you have just climbed: Shanlieve, Eagle, Slievemoughanmore, wee Slievemoughan. The full circuit is just over 11km.

The western Mournes hang grim, grey and glowering over the most beautiful Irish countryside this side of a Killarney postcard. The latter roams green, gold and free, as its inhabitants, in pretty foothill towns like Hilltown and Kilcoo. Politics hasn't much changed here in a millennium: the invaders - English, Norman French, Welsh and other blow-in adventurers basked on the balmy coast while the indigenous chieftains paced restlessly in the boggy interior. Between them and guarding the gate …., these wily townlands and villages. These are Mournes but not as we know them Jim. They are trackless, endless, sometimes pointless and can make the River Amazon seem dry. But they have an appeal: and that is strangeness. Hen rises, a raggle of tors barely knee-high to her neighbours, but like an irritating tomboy threatens grevious mischief from crags, tops, gullies and dizzy drops. Boggy Cock Mountain would drain hope from the Pilgrim Fathers. Pigeon Rock, a soggy ankle-snapper, confuddles us with 2 tops. Batts wall, not in the muscular style of the Mourne one, but more believeable, tracks a route up to Slievemoughanmore, to Eagle, then to the summit of the experience, Shanlieve - at the centre of the horseshoe and placed to squint at her more feted eastern cousins - and so ever downwards to what's left of Shan Lough. To the conservationist, this marks the loss of another Mournes lough and to the average walker, the wettest spot on the planet. This strangeness is punctuated by mirages like Pierce's Castle, the bizarre desert-bog-desert at its foot, the Great Gully off Eagle Mountain - black and spoooooky and the oddest of ancient(?) man-made formations at the turn of the river under Rocky. Would you love them if you reared them? Probably not a lot - but probably.

I started at Yellow River picnic area (grid
(Point I)
) and followed path upstream crossing 2 bridges onto a forest road. Follow this uphill and along valley side through Rostrevor Forest until reach Batts Wall (grid
(Point J)
). Cross wall and take rough track to a religious monument celebrating Pope John Pauls visit to Ireland - complete with large cross and alter table! Continue uphill along Batts Wall which goes direct to the summit - gaiters are a necessity. From the summit there are good views to Binnian and into the Silent Valley to Ben Crom, continued over 2km south staying above 550m to reach Finlieve for views over Carlinford Lough. Had cloud cover and heavy mist most of day but sun came out as i was returning so got some nice pics - Shanlieve reflected in Shanlough included here.

After Eagle Mtn it is a short walk to Shanlieve & an ideal stop for my lunch on my hike to Rostrevor.
Descending S, then SSW towards point 583 before turning west for pt 476 and SW again to pt 432,
with a fence to negotiate on the way to Slievemeel. The best thing is to leave this slopes well alone,
particularly after rain. Perhaps better tackled after about 4 foot of snowfall in snowshoes or skis.

Following the wall back to Eagle
Two for the price of one!
25 Aug 2010
From Eagle, it's just a short stroll along Batts Wall across to the summit cairn on Shanlieve - a case of two 600 metre summits for the price of one!. The cairn stands just a short distance from the wall and on our visit, was surrounded by a white covering of Bog Cotton. Pigeon Rock, Slievemoughanmore, Eagle and Shanlieve make up a nice walk from Deers Meadow, the only drawback being that you have to retrace your steps back to the starting point although the more adventurous can plot a return route off the beaten track.

AIRWAY HEIGHTS-- A 17-year-old boy died in a crash over the weekend at the Airway Heights Motocross Park.
During an event Saturday, an accident killed one of the youngest members of that racing community, Austin Krum.
According to the Medical Examiner's Office he suffered a blunt chest injury during a race.
The managers of the track posted a message on their website that said in part "This last weekend the racing community lost a priceless young member of its family. It's with a heavy heart that we want to pass along our thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of Austin Krum."
They also posted a message on their Facebook page and changed their profile to honor Krum's racing number 428.
In the last 24 hours almost 100 people have shown their support on the track's Facebook page.

VIRGINIA BEACH -- 8 donation meters, similar to parking meters, will be installed along Virginia Beach's Oceanfront in the next three weeks. The city says the meters are designed to help discourage panhandlers.
"We want to help the donors and their experience, to let them know where their money is going and we want to help the people who are panhandling for those needs that would help them," said Andrew Friedman, director of Virgina Beach's Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation.
The donation meters will be installed along the boardwalk for a 12-month pilot program. Along with money collected by the meters, the city also is encouraging donors to sponsor a meter for $1000 a year.
It's still unclear exactly how the money will benefit the homeless. The city says a committee will be formed to review proposals on how the money will be donated. Some possibilities include transportation vouchers, peer mentoring, and other outreach efforts.
13News spoke to some homeless people in Virginia Beach about the idea.
"It will not discourage panhandling in no way, shape, or form," said Michelle Frey.
Others were skeptical about how the money would be spent to help the homeless.
"For me, I have to see it to believe it," said David Linkins.
Mike Eason, of the Resort Management office said all 8 meters cost about $1100 dollars. It will take city workers about 20 minutes a week to collect the money.
Friedman said after a year the city will present statistics on if panhandling behavior patterns on the Oceanfront have changed to decide to either continue, expand or discontinue the donation meter program.
The proposal is similar to programs in Laguna Beach, California and Denver, Colorado.

We're giving away a three-day, three-night winter vacation to Schweitzer Mountain Resort! The winner will stay in the beautiful Selkirk Lodge -- true ski in, ski out lodging!
Schweitzer is the largest ski resort in Idaho with 2,900 skiable acres, 92 trails and open bowl skiing. The Selkirk Lodge has 82 slopeside rooms in the European style with rustic nor
It's time to wax those boards and hit the slopes. White Pass has announced they're now open everyday. According to their web site the have 40" at the summit, 15"-30". There are even some early season specials available
I haven't skied on a regular bases for a lot of years. But when I do venture out to hit the slopes a time or two, I always enjoy it and wonder why I don't do it more often.
A Swedish skier triggered an avalanche during a downhill event in Switzerland the other day. So he had to outrun it . . . and did . . . but also decided to throw in a backflip.
Do you ski? Do you agree the conditions are great?
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being best, rate this year's season open.
I can already smell the board wax, and goggle cleanser... that can mean only one thing... ski and snowboard season has begun! There is snow in the mountains and the lifts have started moving; people all over the state are getting geared up to hit the slopes. We recently did a poll on what you think the best places to ski are in the Northwest, and it seems that Anthony Lakes is the biggest hit with 56% of the votes.
I heard White Pass opened this past weekend! And I'm sure Bluewood will open soon! I hate cold weather! But, I find if I dress for it and get out and do fun things in spite of the weather, I am happier because of it! I don't own skii's anymore and it's a spendy sport, but every time I take the plunge to rent and go skiing, I'm ALWAYS happy that I did!
Many people are unaware that White Pass is open throughout spring. Me and my husband are season pass holders at White Pass. Recently we have been enjoying record amounts of snow on our runs; this season's total snowfall has been over 550 inches!
Dates and Hours of White Pass for Spring:
White Pass will operate daily through April 15, 2012. They will then operate Saturdays & Sundays only through April 29, 2012.�
We all know how much energy you need to blaze the slopes. Check out this kid at a ski resort who was falling asleep while standing up.
We now have our final winner of the Ski Bluewood Photo Contest. You shared some great pictures and one video. A big snowstorm is predicted this week so get your skis or board waxed and be ready to play in the mountains this weekend.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- Minnesota's state House has backed a higher education financing package that architects say will freeze undergraduate tuition at public colleges for two years.
The plan passed Thursday by a bipartisan vote of 86-44.
It would steer $150 million more than is spent now into higher education programs. Of that, 80 percent is earmarked for tuition relief.
Democratic Rep. Gene Pelowski says the bill is aimed at preventing people from being priced out of college. It includes more budget accountability goals for the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system.
The increase in spending would push the state's higher education spending above $2.7 billion for the next two years.
The House bill now heads to conference committees to be reconciled with a differing Senate version.

An overview or our informal recycling tracking project, in Prezi form!
— What If You Never Had to Pay for Parking at the Airport Again? - Emily Badger - The Atlantic Cities
Streaming Fake Ambient Coffee Shop Noise Is Big in Seoul - Bonnie Tsui - The Atlantic Cities
My hypothesis: Coffee shops (Starbucks and knockoffs) are very very popular in Seoul, but are relatively expensive compared to other cities. Koreans are just being economical about getting the experience.
Why are they so popular? There's always been a coffeehouse culture in Korea, part of the "bang" culture that carves out temporary private space in dense urban environments. Historically the quality was not so great, often instant coffee, and the rooms were darker and cozier, but Starbucks introduced high quality roasts and modern glassy interiors. The new shops became a status symbol, where young affluent people could meet and be seen, then quickly became the norm as competitors rapidly sprang up overnight (retail trends move extremely quickly in Seoul).
Meeting up with a friend or a date usually starts or ends at a coffee shop, often as a way to reciprocate after one person pays for a meal. You get used to spending a lot of time in them, until you realize how much money you've spent…

As a young British banker in the inflation-ridden 1970s, I got used to carrying large amounts of German deutsche marks, Swiss francs and Japanese yen in my wallet – to have some security against the lousy performance of the British pound sterling.
While paying for a pizza in London with this foreign cash was difficult, having those "safe-haven" currencies in hand helped me sleep at night.
We've reached that point again. In light of the debt-ceiling debacle in Washington, the U.S. credit-rating downgrade by Standard & Poor's, and the likelihood that a long stretch of dollar-killing stagflation is headed our way, it's time to take refuge in today's safe-haven currencies.
And I'm going to show you the safest of those safe havens.

We find the most interesting Antique Clocks. Here are the best deals we found for GILBERT ANTIQUE MANTLE COMPLETELY RESTORED CLOCK "BLACKBIRD" RUNS & LOOKS GREAT for sale on the Internet.
This auction is now closed.
|If you want to see its description or find similar items currently for sale please click here.
What are you looking for ?
GILBERT ANTIQUE MANTLE COMPLETELY RESTORED CLOCK "BLACKBIRD" RUNS & LOOKS GREAT Picture(s) and Description:
This is a GREAT example of a Gilbert Completely Restored Mantle Clock "BLACKBIRD"! It was made about 1905 and runs great! It is a super mantle clock in need of a warm loving home. It has a signed "Gilbert Clock Co" 8 day time and strike movement which chimes the half hour on a sweet sounding bell and counts the hours on the hour on a cathedral gong with a sound that is very pleasant! The movement runs very well and keeps good time. The movement runs very well and keeps good time. Probably the best part is the clock was personally restored by one of the former national directors and a Fellow of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors. Very well done! The case very nice! The case is made of solid wood in a Victorian Style. The original dial is in great condition for its age. The clock has an adjustment for slow and fast on the dial – this way you don't have to take the clock off the shelf to "fine tune" the timekeeping. The brass around the dial is original (also has a nice antique patina). Complete with the original pendulum and the original double ended key – one end to wind the clock and the other end to adjust the time for slow and fast – rare indeed for a clock to retain its original pendulum and key! The clock measures 11 ½ inches high, 8 inches deep and 18 inches wide. These antique clocks amaze me - could you imagine any other consumer product still working after nearly 100 years! And the truly amazing thing with proper care they will work easily past the next 100 years! I wonder what the maker would think, nearly 100 years later his product is still working like new and listed on the world wide internet! Antique Clocks are a Fine Investment. Each one has a unique quality, as well as appreciating in value and beauty with age. You will become attached to your antique clocks and they will become a meaningful and important part of your life adding untold joy each day you own them. They can be handed down from one generation to another as they increase daily in value. Antique clocks serve many purposes other than being useful in telling time, decorative in your home, a valuable asset in your estate and above all a faithful servant and friend which will be true to you to the end of time. This clock will be packed very very carefully to insure a safe delivery and the buyer is to pay $23.50 for shipping, packing and ins. I will gladly answer any emails promptly. I have always hated that "reserve" when I have bid myself so this fine clock has no reserve and a very very (gulp) low starting bid. We love these clocks and I will be glad to help you set up your new clock, or answer questions long after the sale via email. We try to describe these clocks as accurately as we can, and include lots of pictures, (eBay allows 12 maximum) using just about every angle. We go over them thoroughly, and if they're dirty or need overhauling, we clean and overhaul them. Antiques, if they've had normal use, will have age-appropriate wear, which adds character rather than detracting. (WAY TOO much wear will, of course, detract.) Older clocks had to be transported over rough, unpaved roads in horse and buggy, buckboards, and maybe even Conestoga wagons. We test them out here before shipping and guarantee they will work for you, but due to shipment trauma, (why do some UPS and USPS people feel they have to treat packages so roughly?) there may be small adjustments necessary, which we are glad to help you with. We include several pages of setup/adjustment instructions, help via emails and do phone surgery! In extreme cases we ask folks to send the clock back to us to adjust for them and we return them ASAP at our expense. We also offer a clock oiler (at our cost, with the purchase of a clock) and instructions for oiling your own clock, should you choose to do that. Thank you very much for looking. We accept payment in any form you wish to send. We will be at the Florida Regional Clock Convention. Going in our vintage Airstream (with all the kitties!) from the 5th to the 11th . This is one of the largest regional conventions and its great to see our old friends there! We are taking our laptop and will be available somewhat to answer questions while on the trip –we usually can find a modem hookup at a Starbucks, etc. We will ship on Monday the 13th after returning – sorry for the inconvenience.

President Barack Obama tried to recapture some of the big-stage excitement of his 2008 campaign Sunday, imploring voters not to reward what he called Republican cynicism and incompetence by sitting out the Nov. 2 elections.
The president delivered one of his most stinging indictments yet of the GOP record to several thousand people under blue skies in Philadelphia's Germantown neighborhood.
Obama acknowledged that many Americans are frustrated, especially about the economy. He said Republicans have decided "to ride that frustration and anger" without providing solutions. And he said congressional Republicans deliberately opposed his administration and the Democratic majority on almost every issue, in hopes that stalemate would depress Democratic turnout in the midterm elections.
"If I said there were fish in the sea, they said 'no,'" the president said. "They figured 'if Obama fails, then we win.'"
Reminding voters of their enthusiasm for his presidential campaign, the president said, "we need you as fired up as you were in 2008."
Obama's 28-minute speech was the second of four planned large rallies designed to spur Democratic turnout to dampen what many expect to be big GOP victories in House, Senate and gubernatorial elections.
Sunday's event, before a mostly black audience, was somewhat smaller and less ebullient than last week's rally on the University of Wisconsin campus in Madison. Still, organizers said more than 18,000 people turned out, including those in overflow lots who listened on speakers.
Obama repeated many of his familiar themes, such as the claim that Republicans drove the economy into a ditch before he took office, and then they refused to help Democrats extract it.
But he dwelt on the topic at some length. "The Republicans messed up so bad, left such a big mess," he said. "The hole we're climbing out of is so deep."
Obama said about 8 million Americans had lost jobs before his economic policies could start taking effect. "It's going to take us a while to get out of this hole," he said.
Republicans want to increase the debt to continue a major tax cut for the wealthiest Americans, he said, yet they "lecture us on fiscal responsibility."
Vice President Joe Biden, who was born in Scranton, Pa., introduced Obama with a three-minute speech. Democratic Senate nominee Joe Sestak also spoke briefly.
It's unclear whether the president can stir up enough Democratic passion to avert a GOP takeover of the House, which would require a net pickup of 40 seats.
Democrats confront not only listless voters who feel this year's elections are not nearly as exciting and meaningful as his record-breaking election was. They also must cope with liberals who feel Obama and congressional Democrats have let them down.
John Duda, 46, a Veterans Administration physician who attended Sunday's rally, said he thinks liberals are somewhat disenchanted that Obama had to make compromises on major issues such as energy and health care. Duda said he saw no reason for dropping a government-run health insurance option that would compete with private insurers.
"We're probably better off," Duda said, "but there wasn't this sea-change" that people had expected from an Obama presidency.

If current trends continue, we will see employment levels where they were before the crash…by 2020. It's costing an average of $195,000 in stimulus to create one job. That's nearly 5 years worth of the average families wages of $40,000 per year.
But it's more than the economy. It's the broken promise of change that is eating people up. We expected more from Obama. Of course, we expected Junior to not gallivant across the globe nation building, and look what happened. So to have two outright liars in a row, making promises and breaking them almost immediately once in power, it's just been too much for many to handle.
We're sick of these two parties being for the same things except for dividing "hot button" issues like abortion and gay marriage. Everywhere it matters they are the same.
-In trade, globalism.
-In the economy, Keynesian debt.
-Labor, outsourced and off-shored.
-Defense, unending spending, dwindling returns, continued global expansion of empire.
-Energy, fossil fuels, with increasing "green" taxes.
There is no real choice. There is no real change.
I'm always told to not waste my vote on third party candidates. But as history has shown us, the only wasted vote is a vote for either of the two major parties. Voting for the lesser of two evils is still a vote in favor of evil. Vote third party, non-incumbent and independent, or else we will continue down this path to our eventual demise.
Well said.
We need to change American minds who still believe the facade of "voting for a 3rd party wastes a vote."
If they do not vote their conscience then they have wasted their vote.
Voting for the lesser of two evils is a waste of a vote.
Not voting at all, in pure disgust of this facade is better than wasting a vote, voting for one of the two "chosen" parties.
Wasn't it Mark Twain who said something like "if voting mattered they wouldn't let us do it." Something like that I believe.
That being said, thank you for your post. It makes me feel hopeful that all is not lost.
Yes we are of like minds. But I grow weary of shouting into the wind, and have started to concentrate more on my family and friends survival versus "saving" the nation. I don't think it can be saved at this point. I don't even believe in voting and have not since 2004, but I still go cast a vote. Stupid hope.
Anyhow, I enjoy your comments as well. We still grow in numbers, but I fear it is too late to make any difference in the outcome.
