Maxim Pinkovskiy and Xavier Sala-i-Martin (PSiM herafter) have confidently claimed that "The conventional wisdom that Africa is not reducing poverty is wrong" and that "African poverty is falling and is falling rapidly." This sounds like good news. But is it right?
We must first be clear about what we mean when we say "poverty is falling". What many people mean is falling numbers of poor. However, PSiM refer solely to the poverty rate—the percentage of people who are poor. (There is no mention of this important distinction in their paper.) And it is not falling over their whole period of their analysis, which goes back to 1970. Rather they find that the poverty rate has been falling since the mid-1990s.
Here we agree: aggregate poverty rates have fallen in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) since the mid-1990s. Shahoua Chen and I came to exactly the same conclusion in our research, for the World Bank's global poverty monitoring effort, although our methods differ considerably and (no surprise) I prefer our methods.
However, Chen and I also point out that the decline in the aggregate poverty rate has not been sufficient to reduce the number of poor, given population growth. That is important.
PSiM obtain lower poverty rates than us and they appear to have a somewhat steeper decline. These differences reflect the different methods.
Two points to note here: (i) Chen and I show that the poverty decline in SSA tends to be larger for lower poverty lines (in the region $1-$2.50 a day) and (ii) PSiM's method attributes the entire difference between GDP and household consumption to the current consumption of households, and they assume that its distribution is the same as in the surveys. These assumptions are very unlikely to hold, and they give an overly optimistic picture.
In effect, PSiM are using a lower poverty line than us.
I did a check using PovcalNet. If one uses a line of $0.90 a day then one gets a decline in SSA's headcount index from 42% in 1996 to 34% in 2005, which looks very similar to their results using "$1 a day".
The number of poor in SSA living under $0.90 a day rose over this period, though only slightly (252 million in 1996 and 256 million in 2005). This, too, is consistent with the results of Chen and Ravallion, though higher poverty lines tend to show larger increases in the aggregate poverty count.
Another important difference is that Chen and I are more cautious about the data limitations. There are not enough good household surveys available yet to be confident that this is a robust new trend of a falling poverty rate for SSA. PSiM are not so restrained, as is plain from their title!
PSiM do not tell readers just how few survey data points they have actually used after 1995. Indeed, readers of their paper may be surprised to hear that there is any uncertainty about the trend decline since the mid-1990s; their main graph has 30 annual data points since 1995. But these are not real data points in any obvious sense; rather they are synthetic (model-based) extrapolations based on national accounts and growth forecasts.
We have national household surveys for all but 10 of the 48 countries in SSA since 1995. However, for only 18 countries do we have more than one survey since 1995; for 30 countries, there are is at most one survey since 1995.
As we warn explicitly in our paper, this is not yet sufficient survey data to be confident about the (promising) downward trend for Africa's aggregate poverty rate that PSiM have announced with such confidence.
Hopefully we will see a confirmation of the emerging downward trend for Africa in the years ahead, as more (genuine) data emerge.

GunZoo necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 296 diseños de 107 diseñadores freelance.
GunZoo.com is a new company that will revolutionize the auction market for firearms and accessories. We want to hit the scene with a very fresh, clean and contemporary look. A look that breaks machismo ridden stereotypes and is accessible to all.
The "zoo" part of the name is in reference the myriad firearms on the market today. There is tremendous diversity and selection, and within our site you will find them all (very similar to a traditional zoo).
Our primary customers will be military, law enforcement, sportsmen (and women) and collectors. Additionally, we want to reach potential gun owners who may be new to the idea and might be intimidated by the resources currently available. These folks may be the 20-somethings who are very tech savvy and have high expectations for design. Put another way, we are building a site that utilizes the latest technology and takes advantage of the latest social trends, and we are looking for a logo that will represent that spirit.
We do not currently have a logo or brand and we're very open to creativity.
The total design should include "GunZoo" or "gunzoo" (it's always one word) and some type of image. We would also like to be able to easily separate the GunZoo text from the image, in the event the design isn't one in the same.
Colors: We haven't selected colors, although the palette should be contemporary and clean. It might be helpful to see your design in two or three different color schemes and on various backgrounds. In the military realm, for example, all unit logos have a full color and subdued (earth tones) design. That's not required but it may provide some inspiration.
Text: No real preferences here, as long as GunZoo is one word. It shouldn't be goofy, corporate or intimidating.
Image: The logo should include some kind of graphic. But please do not feel obligated to include a gun or zoo animals. I'm not opposed to it if it looks cool, but don't get hung up on it. Again, the look shouldn't be intimidating. If you're feeling compelled to create a mascot (please, no maniacal grizzly bears with hockey masks), we'll definitely take a look.

April 2, 2005
The men came up short in today's close team battle at the Big West Challenge Cup in Long Beach, CA. On paper the title was virtually up for grabs, but a few setbacks in key races threw the momentum in UC Irvine's favor, defending their Challenge Cup from 2004. The Gauchos finished in third with 154 points while Irvine outscored Long Beach St. by two points 185-183 and Cal St. Fullerton who finished fourth with 120 points.
The Big West Challenge is a quad meet in which only two finishers per team can score in any given event. This scoring methodology does not allow for any given team to sweep an event with many athletes, thus making the team more important in a sport where individuals are more often celebrated than the whole.
Coming in hoping to redeem themselves from a close early season loss to Irvine, the men's best today was only good enough for a third place finish. The Gaucho throwing squad threw everything they had at a tough Long Beach St. squad. In the men's shot put, freshman Scott Anderson came up big in his first competition for UCSB by winning with a toss of 53'09.75", placing 7th on the Gaucho All-Time list. In the Javelin, Gabe Mann, the Big West Conference leader, won his first Challenge Cup title with a personal best throw of 197'02".
Out in the Hammer Ring it took an NCAA Regional Qualifying mark just to crack the top four, with Eugene Bradley heaving the hammer 197'02" to place 2nd by only four inches. NCAA Regional Qualifying marks are based off of the top 100 marks in a given event from the previous year, placing the athletes who qualify in a small space atop NCAA Track & Field. The Gauchos currently have ten athletes who have reached such a mark in 2005.
In the pole vault, Sean Thomas-Bignami came into today's meet with a personal best 6 inches shy of the NCAA Regional mark of 16'06.75" while being ranked 2nd in the Big West behind a Fullerton vaulter by only two inches. Both went head to head and with Fullerton clearing 16'00.75, Thomas-Bignami answered right back clearing his personal best. Then just moments later Fullerton raised the bar by clearing 16'06.75", an NCAA regional mark. Thomas-Bignami with the team looking on, again answered clearing the height himself becoming the third highest vaulter on the UCSB All-Time list. It took an eight inch personal best by Fullerton to win the competition over Bignami who had good attempts at 16'10'.75" in what would have been a school record vault.
The distances also saw good fields assembled from 800m-3000m. The 1500m had four athletes who have achieved an NCAA Regional mark, two of them being Gauchos. Scott McConville after setting the school record in this event last weekend came up just short of the win in a time of 3:52.07 after splitting a 56 second last lap. In the 800m, last year's conference champion, Ben Armel was out leaned, while teammate Justin Coburn came up for 4th in a seasonal best time of 1:53.40. In the 3000m, it took a challenge cup record to out kick sophomore Micah Tyhurst, who finished in 2nd with a time of 8:21.22, #3 All-Time for UCSB. Mike Chavez finished 5th in 8:28.93, #10 All-Time.
In the 400m Max Bellissimo came up for 3rd with a lifetime best of 48.65. Isaac Herrera set a seasonal best in the long jump with a leap of 23'00.75" finishing in 3rd and getting a Big West qualifying mark.
The Gauchos will split squads next weekend with a few athletes traveling to the prestigious Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays in Austin, TX with the others going to the Titan Twilight in Fullerton, CA.


text: HALT(8) Linux System Administrator's Manual HALT(8) NAME halt, reboot, poweroff - stop the system. SYNOPSIS /sbin/halt [-n] [-w] [-d] [-f] [-i] [-p] /sbin/reboot [-n] [-w] [-d] [-f] [-i] /sbin/poweroff [-n] [-w] [-d] [-f] [-i] DESCRIPTION Halt notes that the system is being brought down in the file /var/log/wtmp, and then either tells the kernel to halt, reboot or poweroff the system. If halt or reboot is called when the system is not in runlevel 0 or 6, shut- down(8) will be invoked instead (with the flag -h or -r). OPTIONS -n Don't sync before reboot or halt. -w Don't actually reboot or halt but only write the wtmp record (in the /var/log/wtmp file). -d Don't write the wtmp record. The -n flag implies -d. -f Force halt or reboot, don't call shutdown(8). -i Shut down all network interfaces just before halt or reboot. -p When halting the system, do a poweroff. This is the default when halt is called as poweroff. DIAGNOSTICS If you're not the superuser, you will get the message `must be superuser'. NOTES Under previous sysvinit releases, reboot and halt should never be called directly. From this release on halt and reboot invoke shutdown(8) if the system is not in runlevel 0 or 6.

Captain's ReportVectra Space Deck 2200 Fish
By Capt. Rob Smith
Vectra is a part of the Smoker Craft family of boats. This model looks very much like a pontoon boat, yet has the fiberglass hull of a deck boat which creates the space available topside. The Space Deck Model 2200 F is designed as a fishing rig with room for a family to enjoy a day on the water. She has the extra features of many high end pontoons, like a changing room onboard. This value-oriented rig has sole locker storage for skis and a ski tow so you can take full advantage of the 200 hp this boat is rated for. Starting at the foredeck
As a fishing rig, you want unencumbered room to cast. The 2200 F has two bases for casting chairs in front of the bulwarks so you can freely work lines. Keep in mind, these are just for trolling or use at anchor, never with the big engine running! The Vectra 2200 F is pre-rigged for 12/24V trolling motor systems. The surrounding bulwarks are what reminded me so much of a pontoon boat. Like a pontoon, it has a bow entry with Posi-Lock gate. The decks are fiberglass and the builder offer optional snap-in carpet for simple, easier to clean decks. There are two lockers in the bow area. The forward locker is the livewell. Although it is inside of the bulwarks, you can leave the gate open and have quick access to the bait when a fish steals what is on your line. Just aft of the livewell is another locker where you can stow your water toys, skis or canvas.
The bench seats up front are rotocast for durability and provide good storage. I didn't notice drains at the bottom of the boxes, but I did see deep channels around the tops to drain any water away and keep the boxes dry. Instead of mounting the speakers in these bases like most builders do, Smoker Craft mounted them higher in the back rests where the sound is more likely to reach the people on board (last I checked, we don't listen with our feet). Aft Seating
I have seen changing rooms on many pontoon boats before. The Vectra 2200 F incorporates it a little differently into the forward end cap of the stern L-bench seat. I like it. This arrangement takes advantage of room carved out for the side entry gate and doesn't use up room at the stern. One of the problems I have encountered when trying to stow a changing station back into an end cap like this is getting all the material inside as I close it. Smoker Craft thought of that and provided a mesh pocket that you stuff the material into before closing the unit back up. The aft seating also has rotocast seat bases. The Vectra 2200 F has a standard porta-potti for family convenience so you don't have so many trips to the marina. There is the standard table and post for snacks, carry-on cooler and stern sun pad. A single bimini cover is standard, dual tops are optional for maximum coverage.At the helm
The Vectra 2200 F has a deluxe helm seat with slider, swing away arm rests and swivel so you can join in the conversation at the stern when at anchor. The standard sound system is an AM/FM Stereo with an auxiliary jack for your MP3 or iPod. Optionally, you can have a satellite ready stereo for uninterrupted music, sports or talk radio. I found visibility and ergonomics at the helm to be very good.Aft
The stern has another Posi-Lock transom gate entry. My test model had a four step telescoping swim ladder and a ski rack that surrounded the Honda 150hp outboard it was rigged with. Under the padded sundeck, you have the fuel cell on the port side along with the cranking battery and some limited storage.Specifications
The Vectra Space Deck 2200 F measures 22'3" length overall and has a beam of 8'6" so she is fine to trailer without permits. She weighs 3147 lbs. dry without engine and carries 50 gallons of fuel. She is rated for up to a 200 hp outboard, with a seating capacity for 12 people and a weight capacity of 2750 lbs.Conclusions
I found this model to be a great combination of the features of a pontoon boat topside with the performance of a deck boat below. It delivers space for the entire family and the neighbors, yet has the ability to pull a skier or the kids on a tube.

Circo Aereo's extensive production includes an array of very different works. While at Wabash, the group will perform Espresso, a co-production between Circo Aereo and the French Les Objets Volants group, which premiered in 2006. Espresso is a combination of traditional circus art, cabaret and contemporary circus based on movement, Espresso is one of Circo Aereo's biggest successes.
After its premiere, Espresso has successfully toured several countries, visiting the renowned Parc de la Villette in Paris, France, Theatre du Vidy in Switzerland and the Damascus Opera in Syria.

Produced with a human touch and on a human scale, its performances aim to get close to the audience and their emotions. Indeed, communication with the audience and the creation of unique experiences are fundamental values for the group. Circo Aereo's understated but highly charged style embodies a search for the quintessential and a careful selection of the ways of expression.
In the past few years, Circo Aereo has also been involved in workshops for circus schools and circus artists, audience work and education projects and cooperation with the business world.

Wolfgang Fechter
4 comments:
from Donna Martin-Netherton:
Wolfgang Fechter family found in 1900 US Census living in Milwaukee, WI.
Household members in 1900 census, enumerated 5 June :
1) Wolfgang Fechter, age 67,born Aug., 1831 married 44 yrs. (1856). Came to America from Germany in 1855, now a naturalized citizen. Occ: Grocery Dealer.
2)Wife, Barbara,(maiden name unknown) born in Feb.,1836 in Germany, now age 64. Had 9 children, 2 living as of 1900 census. Not yet naturalized as of the census.
3) Grandson Henry Hoffman, age 15, b. April, 1885 in Colorado. Father born in Germany, Mother born in WI. Thus, his Mother was a daughter of Wolfgang & Barbara.
4) Grandson Leo Camins, age 15 b Sept., 1884 in Michigan. Father born PA, Mother born WI, thus his Mother was a daughter of Wolfgang & Barbara Fechter

Great information. Fechter seems an unusual surname. I wonder how many are in the United States today and if they descended from Wolfgang and Barbara Fechter.

from Donna....
RE: Descendants of Wolfgang Fechter:
This is most likely the daughter of Wolfgang & Barbara Fechter...Elizabeth Camins' 'details' on the 1900 census fit the info for Leo Camins stated as grandson of Wolfgang.
Per US Census: By 1900 Wolfgang and Barbara only had two living children...both were daughters.
So, unless they had sons who reached adulthood and had offspring prior to 1900 (possible!) ..Wolfgang's descendants are from the two daughters.
Then, by searching for a 'Camins' surname, with Wolfgang Fechter as 'Father' and Barbara as 'Mother' we find:
1900 United States Federal Census about Elizabeth Camins:
Name: Elizabeth Camins < most likely a daughter of Wolfgang Fechter
[Elizabeth Camino]
Home in 1900: Iron River, Iron, Michigan
Age: 33
Birth Date:Jun 1867 < Wolfgang & Barbara married 1856 so this fits.
Birthplace: Wisconsin < matches Leo's Mother info from 1900 census of Wolfgang's household.
Race: White
Gender: Female
Relationship to Head of House: Wife
Father's Birthplace: Germany < fits Wolfgang's info in post#1
Mother's Birthplace: Germany < fits Barbara 's info in post #1
Mother: number of living children: 5
Mother: How many children: 5
Spouse's name: Frank
Marriage Year: 1883
Marital Status: Married
Years Married: 17
Residence : Iron River Village, Iron, Michigan
Household Members:
Name Age
Frank Camins 43
Elizabeth Camins 33 < census lists her parents as both born in Germany so this fits Wolfgabg's data.
Leo Camins 15 < listed as attending Marquette College in Milwaukee. Note: This is SAME person listed in 1900 census (see post #1) as a grandson of Wolfgang Fechter.
John Camins 13
Mary Camins 10
Anna Camins 6
Helen Camins 2
So it appears Leo Camins was either living w/ his grandparents, (Wolfgang & Barbara) while attending school or 'happened to be there visiting' during the enumeration. The former is the most likely.
By tracking the children from this family : living family members could probably be located.

from Donna Martin-Netherton:
Just an FYI:
this Funeral card as posted currently on eBay.....
Ebay Seller states it came from a home in Iron River, MI..this info connects easily to the post (on Feb 14th)..re: his daughter "Elizabeth Camins"...so we're on the right track!

Testing, Testing...
If you have read some of the articles here at Scarleteen or looked through the boards, you know that getting yourself screened for Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) is essential.
Whether you are with a new partner, or are already in a sexual relationship, getting a full STI -- sexually transmitted infection, sometimes also called STDs -- screening can give you peace of mind and ensure your physical well-being as well as your partners.
Often people ask us if they need to be worried about STIs or STI testing if they haven't ever had sexual contact with another person. The answer is yes, yes, and yes. Sexually Transmitted Infections means that the disease CAN be transmitted sexually not that it can ONLY be transmitted sexually, and when it comes to STIs, both partners' histories are an issue, not just that of one.
Plus, there are some STIs that are often transmitted through non-sexual contact. Oral herpes, otherwise known as cold sores, is one that often runs in families because it is so easy to catch that when one family member gets it, it's very common for other members of the family to catch it from them in completely nonsexual ways. In fact, the majority of people with oral herpes, which can also be passed on genitally, got it as children in a totally nonsexual way.
STIs can affect you for the rest of your life. They can affect your future fertility and your very existence: a couple can be fatal. Several of them cannot be cured. But many of them ARE easily treated, and when treated early, can leave you with no long-term health problems. Using latex (or non-latex alternative) barriers -- condoms, dental dams and/or gloves -- can vastly reduce your risks of most STIs, but that's only one part of safer sex practice: testing is another and is just as important. So, for many reasons, getting tested is important. Have I made my point? OK, read on to learn more.
What exactly does STI testing entail? STI testing includes a few simple tests that can be done in your doctor's office or at a clinic. They may be slightly uncomfortable, but they are not more than that. It's really pretty minor.
The first part is an interview. The clinician or doctor will ask you some questions regarding your exposure to STIs and about your sexual activities and sexual history. This may make you feel uncomfortable. Do not be embarrassed or ashamed believe me, doctors, nurses, and clinicians have heard and seen it all. It is very important that you be honest with your doctor, so they can do their job to get you the care you need. If you have had unsafe sex, accept it and take responsibility for it when you talk to your doctor.
If you are experiencing any health problems or symptoms of any STIs, tell your doctor about them in detail: how long have you been having the problem? How frequently? Has it gotten worse or better since it started? All this information can help them give you a proper diagnosis.
You may not be having any health problems or symptoms of any diseases when you go in for your test. That may mean that you simply don't have any infections or diseases. It can also mean that you simply don't have symptoms that are noticeable. Many STIs have no symptoms, particularly in their early stages. One of the ones that is easiest to miss -- and one of the most common infections -- is Chlamydia, which is called "the silent STI" because many people who have it never know until it's too late, and they have already begun to have serious complications due to inflammation and scarring. That's why it's important to get a full STI screening anyway, even if you don't have any symptoms.
Next, the clinician will do a visual examination of your genitals. They will be looking for evidence of sores or lesions. If you have a vulva you will go through the same procedure as you would for a pelvic exam (you might want to read up on that in the Your First Gynecologist Visit article for more details). During the pelvic exam the doctor will take a small sample of cells and fluids called a smear or swab test. It is similar to a PAP smear test, except that in this case, when the technician or doctor looks at the cells through a microscope, they will be looking for signs of the various microorganisms, antibodies, or cell changes related to specific STIs.
What about if you have a penis? If you have a penis, the clinician may do a swab test. This means taking a swab from the inside of your urethra, the tube that runs all the way down the middle of your penis, where urine and semen come out. The clinician gently inserts a thin cotton-tipped swab into the urethra to get a sample of cells. Most of the folks we know who have had this done say that it is slightly painful, but only for a moment or two. On a scale from 1 (nothing) to 10 (being kicked in the crotch), it's usually about a 4. The cells gathered this way will be examined under a microscope, just as cells collected from someone's vulva are.
The clinician may also take a sample of cells from your throat and/or rectum. These are swab tests, too, and are likewise done with a long cotton swab. Having one done in your throat is a lot like getting a throat culture done to test for strep throat in fact, it's the same procedure, only they look for different things in the lab. As for a rectal (butt) examination, the clinician will do a visual examination as well as sampling of cells. Again, it is not terribly uncomfortable, but it can feel kind of vulnerable or embarrassing. It is better if you try to relax, though, since you being relaxed makes it much easier for the clinician, and thus much more comfortable for you.
Depending on the testing the clinician has ordered for you, you may also be asked for a saliva sample, urine sample, blood sample, or any combination of these. Depending on the clinic or doctor you may or may not be given them all. Chances are you will be given a blood test as it is the most common way to test for HIV and syphilis.
Common sexually transmitted diseases and infections and testing procedures
- Bacterial Vaginosis - Requires a pelvic exam, examination of vaginal fluid, microscopic examination of vaginal tissue (smear test).
- Chlamydia - Requires the examination of tissue samples (smear test) or urine for a correct diagnosis.
- Cytomegalovirus (CMV) - Requires a blood test.
- Gonorrhea - Requires the microscopic examination of urethral or vaginal discharges and possibly cultures taken from the throat or rectum as well.
- Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) - Requires a blood test to look for antibodies.
- Herpes - It can be confused with syphilis, chancroid lesions, and other STDs/STIs. For a correct diagnosis, herpes, it is best to visit your doctor within three days of finding a sore or lesion. When the sores have dried up it is more difficult to make a correct diagnosis. A smear test, a test of cells from the lesion, and/or a blood test may be required.
- Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) - A blood sample is required as it is tested to detect HIV antibodies. Some clinics use a saliva (cheek swab) test instead. A diagnosis of HIV is not the same thing as a diagnosis of AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). A diagnosis of AIDS is based on the presence of one or more of a variety of conditions and infections related to HIV infection.
- Human Papillomavirus (HPV - also called Genital Warts) - HPV testing is only currently available for people who have a vagina: people who have a penis instead cannot yet be tested for HPV. Requires a microscopic examination of tissue sample and visual examination of warts. A cervical pap smear may reveal precancerous conditions caused by genital HPVs. A special magnifying instrument called a colposcope can detect genital HPVs that cannot be seen with the naked eye during pelvic exams.
- Molluscum Contagiosum - Requires a microscopic examination of tissue taken from the sore.
- Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) - Requires a pelvic exam and microscopic examination and/or culture of vaginal and cervical secretions. For further diagnosis and assessment of damage, a laproscopy, a surgical procedure where an optical instrument is inserted through a small cut in the navel to look at the reproductive organs, may be required.
- Pubic Lice - These can be seen with the naked eye or with a magnifying glass. They look like tiny crabs. They are pale gray but become darker when they are swollen with blood from biting at the skin. Examination by your doctor can be used to confirm the diagnosis and get proper treatment and medication.
- Scabies - Self diagnosis is possible, but difficult. May require microscopic examination of a skin scraping or biopsy.
- Syphilis - Requires microscopic examination of fluid from sores, blood tests, and/or examination of spinal fluid.
- Trichomoniasis - Requires microscopic examination of vaginal discharge.
- Urinary Tract Infections - Clinicians may diagnose these based solely on symptoms, but they often also use a urine sample and/or a urethral swab test.

The Castros in Their Labyrinth
May 27, 2014
Yoani Sanchez, The New York Times
HAVANA — A mix of grease and melted cheese drips from the pizza to the concrete floor. It's a hot day and the man is holding the slice at the counter of a coffee shop. While he waits, the clerk comments on how this is "a country where no one understands." To which the customer replies, now with his mouth full: "Well yes, and that 21st-century socialism thing is going to have to wait until the 22nd century."
So far, the government of Raúl Castro has issued nearly half a million licenses for people to work in the private sector. This is a huge change from 1968, when every single job — even shining shoes — was nationalized. During the revolutionary offensive, all small businesses ended up in the hands of the government. Private Cuba was swept away and stigmatized, only to be reborn decades later. In 1993, spurred by an economic crisis, Fidel Castro permitted the reopening of the private sector. This turned out to be Mr. Castro's worst defeat — one he tried to mask as a victory, as he usually did whenever he stumbled...

Alzheimer's Signs & Symptoms
Alzheimer's disease begins slowly from a clinical point of view. In its early stages, it appears as short-term memory loss. However, as it progresses through the stages of dementia, cognitive impairment becomes increasingly noticeable and severe. There are four stages that characterize the presence and progress of Alzheimer's.

The Cleveland Browns will see C.J. Spiller on Thursday.
The Buffalo Bills have confirmed that the running back has made enough progress in his recovery from an ankle injury to play in the opening game of Week 5.
"I think we feel good, think he'll be out there," Bills coach Doug Marrone said earlier Thursday. "He's done a good job this week. ... I think he'll be out there."
Spiller had been questionable to play against the Browns after spraining his ankle during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens. He returned to practice Wednesday.
The Browns also confirmed Brandon Weeden will be active as the team's No. 2 quarterback Thursday.
Weeden has missed the past two weeks with a thumb injury. Brian Hoyer had taken hold of the Browns' starting job in his absence.

Golddigger Pay Day
Well…she got paid, Heather Mills did. But significantly less than what she's been angling for. "Only" £25 million, roughly US$50 million which is major cash for people like us… but really not so much for people who live the luxe life. And for someone who was originally asking for over £100, it's obviously not exactly an ideal settlement – on her terms.
For Sir Paul, it's a happy day. And as you can see attached, he looked chuffed at the courthouse.
Golddigging hag however did not look chuffed. She claims she was happy with the decision but then proceeded to deliver yet another interminable tirade against her ex husband and his legal team – in front of a village of journalists…of course.
"Fiona Shackleton (Paul's attorney) has very sadly handled this case in the worst manner you could ever imagine. She has called me many, many names before meeting me when I was in a wheelchair."
How come she wasn't in a wheelchair when she was dancing on Dancing with the Stars??? Just asking…
Then there was some sh*t about Paul treating their daughter like a second class citizen:
"Beatrice gets £35,000 a year. She is meant to travel B-class when her father travels A-class. Paul has always wanted Beatrice to go to a state school. He insisted that he wanted us to move to that area [East Sussex] - £35,000 includes. £17,000 for school fees. He tried to get our daughter with joint residency, even though we had gone 50-50. In that way he has got everything he wanted, but that"s what powerful people get."
Keep in mind that his other children all went to state schools as well.
And it continues – now about his wealth:
"He also said that Paul is only worth £400 million. Everyone knows that he has been worth £800 million for the last 15 years. Paul has always wanted it public because he wants to look like generous Sir Paul."
I believe it too. I believe he's worth more. But if you're Paul McCartney, wouldn't you lie about billions especially when they're being jeopardised by Heather farking Mills?
More victim talk:
"I was locked out of every home. I really hope now that me and my daughter can have a life and not be followed every day. Apart from one television thing I have stayed quiet for 21 months. If the judgment had been kept private I would not be out here speaking."
OK camerawhore.
As for what she'll do with her money:
"I"m so glad it"s over, it was an incredible result in the end to secure mine and my daughter"s future and that of all the charities that I obviously plan on helping and making a difference with - because you know it has been my life for 20 years."
But this… THIS is my favourite. After harping about Paul only offering her a pittance and how cheap he is, she was asked by a reporter whether or not she thought he was "cruel". Her response:
I can"t say that for the sake of my daughter but my sister does. "Every time I look at her, I want to cry (because she's been so supportive". I"m going to go and be with my daughter because I took so much time away from her.
Seriously… KFed Jr needs to redirect his goldiggery. Heather Mills is primed for plucking. And even with one leg, she's still easier to look at than Tori Spelling.
And finally… the most curious part of all this – a summary of the judgment was published today and a full release is expected tomorrow.
Heather however plans to appeal it. She does NOT want it to be released.
For someone so intent on exposing the truth, what on earth could she be blocking???

Firstly, they are Roman Catholics
They're neither Romans nor Catholics, Latins, Westerners, Papists, etc., etc., yes, and I will even go on to say they are Christians as well...but not Roman, the Roman Church was the Imperial Church, and not Catholic, it's a local patriarchate.
And the point of this thread is?
Apparently, GiC has some point to make in posting this on the forum. Trolling perhaps?
Ummm, yeah, the point was to respond to an accusation you made against me. This is generally a topic I avoid, but I wasn't given too much choice in the matter this time.
Well, you chose not to avoid it this time, and you decided to post it, so I thought I might expose it to a little more scrutiny.Machiavellian? ....Perhaps...
Cowardice is to be feared more than defeat.
There's also a fine line between being courageous and being just plain foolhardy.
My, my... agree with GiC in part here. The real question is why we abdicated the word "Catholic" to them, in reality if not officially, not the word "Roman".Let the games begin.
How do you post a 'forbidden' words list without using those words? Just thought I'd ask...
Perhaps we could post them in Latin, as has been the custom when writing someting deemed 'inappropriate'.
Oh, and shouldn't this forum be renamed? It surely can't continue to be called "Orthodox-Catholic Discussion".What would you suggest GiC? "Orthodox-Latin Discussion"? But then there's Deacon Lance. hmmmm....
I suggest "Orthodox vs Satan's Church of Pedophile Priests (SCOPPs)
But what does that do to us who can read Latin? If I can read every language, does it matter what language one uses to speak an insult? It's like the classmate decades ago who thought he could get away with cussing in Spanish around a music teacher, not knowing that she also taught Spanish. WHOOPS!
Boys will be boys...james
We are the "Catholic Church,"
I can't wait until lubeltri finds out he can't be called Catholic. Perhaps I'll email him a link to this post......
Well, if GiC has his way, you're not even that.
Well, there's always the Whore of Babylon. How does that work, GiC?
So hopefully GiC will have nothing to complain about. . .
Just as my name is Christopher, and which means Christ-brearer. Even if you don't believe I am a Christ-bearer, It is still my name.
catholic church, catholic church...Rome, hmmmm, let me think...Oh yeah, I remember it - the Formerly Orthodox Church of Rome !Yep, Charlemagne's church...FOCOR !
I would partake of this extremely lively and pointless discussion, but instead I will drink a few cold brewski's, eat some chips and salsa and watch some baseball...latejames
I doubt anyone has yet to partake in this completely pointeless discussion until they have consumed more than a 'few' beers.
We don't call ourselves "Roman" Catholics---you guys do. We are officially the "Catholic Church," not the "Roman Catholic Church." So if you want to stop calling us Roman . . . you are more than welcome!
Hey guys. I have to say that I agree with luberti. Since the name of our Church is not "Roman Catholic" but Catholic, so if you stop calling us Roman Catholic, that's cool with me. If you want to call us latin Catholics, that's ok too because that is the jurisdiction to which I belong. But taking out the term Catholic is just silly. That's the name of our Church. You may not believe that we are the Catholic Church refered to in the creed, and that's fine. But our name is Catholic. You can't change our name for us. Just as my name is Christopher, and which means Christ-brearer. Even if you don't believe I am a Christ-bearer, It is still my name. Many Blessings to all of you.
Well, to get back to the original issue, I think the church should be called the Vatican Catholic Church as the Vatican is an independent nation and is not considered to be part of Rome. Therefore, they have no right to be called Roman unless they submit to being part of the city.
"Catholic" is the name you give yourselves. The problem we Orthodox have with calling your church the Catholic Church without any regional/local qualifier is that we also call our church the Catholic Church--some churches in our communion even use the name Catholic in their official titles (e.g., the Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church in America, or something like that). When I'm talking to a Roman Catholic--sorry, the context of this statement requires me to use this qualifier--I'll use the term "Catholic" without any qualifiers, knowing that in interfaith dialog we almost always refer to ourselves as Eastern Orthodox, or just Orthodox. It just makes sense.However, when I talk with other Orthodox, which I do in most of my discussions on this forum, I will speak in language my fellow Orthodox Christians understand. If when speaking to fellow Orthodox I speak of the Catholic Church, I don't give them reason to know whether I'm talking about the "one holy, catholic, apostolic Church" which we believe we are, or about the Roman Church. When I speak to other Orthodox, therefore, I will speak of the Roman church as the Roman Catholic Church, the Roman church, or simply the RC church to make sure they know I'm talking about that church that calls the Pope of Rome her supreme pontiff. Since most of my discussions on this Orthodox forum are with the faithful of the Orthodox Church (Eastern or Oriental), you're stuck with me attaching the qualifier "Roman" to that which you call the Catholic Church.

Welcome once again to Jetsetter, Digital Trends weekly jaunt across the wide world of video games. We cover the video game industry daily here at Digital Trends, but Jetsetter is devoted to looking beyond the biggest video game market on Earth. Weird Korean imports, Turkish MMOs, Indian-developed mobile games released in the Kenyan market, Pakistani pricing of FIFA 13—these topics and more are our bread and butter.
It was a busy week. Czech developer Bohemia Interactive was forced to delay ArmA 3 into 2013, Nintendo of Europe explained that German laws were restricting Wii U eShop sales, and Finnish studio Rovio celebrated three successful years of Angry Birds. Now let's move onto Iceland, the UK, and India.
* EVE Online grows to 450,000 subscribers.
Iceland's CCP Games have carved out an impenetrable and fascinating corner of the massively multiplayer online gaming world over the past ten years. Since opening EVE Online in 2003, the game's never ascended to A-list World of Warcraft success (or even C-list Lord of the Rings Online success), but it hasn't needed to. The game's kept both the studio and its cultish, obsessed audience enraptured. The game's simulated galaxy has a rich, functioning economy that's more stable than most real world economies, and it still manages to play host to stellar intrigue. CCP Games announced this week that the game now has 450,000 players. That's a fraction of most MMOs, but most MMOs don't require players to make spreadsheets. This milestone came two weeks after EVE Online was added to the MoMA's first collection of video games.
* Microsoft lifts Windows Store ban on 18+ rated games.
Prior to Windows 8's release in October, Digital Trends reported on how Microsoft was going to have some trouble convincing developers to bring their games to the platform's store. At the time, the Windows Store blocked the sale of 18+ rated games in the UK, meaning titles like Heavy Rain and Grand Theft Auto with PEGI 18 ratings would be unavailable even to adults. Microsoft has unsurprisingly rolled back the restriction, announcing its commitment to Windows Store gaming on its blog. "In welcoming PEGI 18 games into the Store, we again reinforce two principles—flexibility and confidence—fundamental to the Windows Store," reads the post, "We recognize that people have come to expect and appreciate rich gaming experiences on Windows and this includes games rated PEGI 18." Will this mean people will stop using Steam as their primary digital distribution platform on PC? Will it mean that more gamers will use Windows 8 in the UK? No. No it doesn't.
* Indian games retailer gets into the season's spirit with End of the World sale.
NextWorld.in, an online video game retailer serving India, is embracing the spirit this December. The spirit of Quetzcoatl and the birth of the fifth sun that is! Rather than a Christmas or other holiday theme, NextWorld is celebrating the end of the world due on Dec. 21 when the Mayan calendar runs out. If you're a gamer in India and you don't want to pay an outrageous price on FIFA 13, pick it up now!


text: Biotechnology Could Contribute to Field Crop Yield Trends December 18, 2011 09:36 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email Courtesy of Ag Answers, Ohio State Extension and Purdue Extension While not entirely explaining increased yields for corn and soybeans over the past 15 years, one Ohio State University agricultural economist said statistical evidence on linear yield trends shows biotechnology could play a role. Carl Zulauf, a professor with the Department of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Economics and the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, studied yield trends for corn, soybeans and upland cotton, three crops most widely associated with the adoption of biotechnology. He then compared yield trends for those crops with 11 other crops for which adoption of biotech seed is virtually nonexistent. "Biotechnology varieties first became available for commercial use in the U.S. in 1996," Zulauf explained. "By 2011, they accounted for 88%, 90%, and 94% of the acres planted to corn, upland cotton, and soybeans, respectively." With 15 years of yield data to analyze, Zulauf chose to compare trends from the biotech-influenced era with yield data from years 1940 through 1995, noting that 1940 marked the year when the average yield of most U.S. crops began increasing, due in part to traditional breeding methods. In evaluating the data, he discovered that only seven of the 14 crops exhibited a higher estimated yield trend during the 1996-2011 period than the comparison years of 1940-1995. The 7 crops are barley, corn, cotton, peanuts, rice, soybeans and sugar beets. In other words, of the non-biotech-influenced crops, only four of 11 exhibited a higher yield trend in the more recent of the two data sets. "This analysis finds that, while the yield trend increased for all 3 biotech crops after 1996, the yield trend increased for less than half of the crops for which biotech varieties are of limited importance," Zulauf said. "This finding does not prove that biotechnology is the reason for the higher yield trend for corn, cotton, and soybeans. It only reveals that the evidence on linear yield trends is not inconsistent with such a conclusion." He observed that over 10 years, the higher yield trend translated into a harvested yield that was 1.6 bushels, 0.6 bushels, and 69.1 pounds higher for corn, soybeans, and cotton, respectively. The addition to yield is 1%, 1.4% and 7.9% of the highest harvest yield observed for corn, soybeans, and cotton. "So, for corn and soybeans, the increase in yield trend since 1995 is not large," Zulauf remarked. "The implications, of course, are subject to change with more years of data." Zulauf's full report, including information on the statistical methodology used in his analysis, is available online. A companion paper, studying the common observation that biotechnology has also reduced variation in U.S. crop yields, is also available online. For More Information Read more crop news.

November 6, 2012
The widespread availability of potent combination therapy (commonly called ART or HAART) for HIV has led to greatly improved health and survival for HIV-positive people in Canada and other high-income countries who can adhere to therapy.
Although ART has many benefits, it does not entirely suppress the inflammation that is incited by chronic HIV infection. Researchers are concerned that prolonged exposure to such inflammation could have an effect on many organ-systems, including the brain, particularly as HIV-positive people age.
In the time before HAART became available, HIV could cause serious impairment of intellectual functioning as well as problems with movement, muscle control, reflexes and other related issues. However, in the current era, thanks to ART, such severe HIV-related problems are uncommon. Instead, research teams have reported that mild neurocognitive impairment appears to be relatively common.
Neurocognitive dysfunction can degrade a person's quality of life and reduce their overall potential. A decline in neurocognitive abilities could affect the speed at which information is processed in the brain. Reduced processing speed could have the following potential impacts on HIV-positive people:
Researchers have found that reduced processing speed and other impairments in neurocognitive functioning also occur in older HIV-negative adults. Aging specialists (gerontologists) have developed brain-training exercises to help these adults. Such exercises are generally computer-based game-related activities that stimulate different parts of the brain and have been found to do the following in experiments with older HIV-negative people:
In at least one study, HIV-negative people who have done brain-training exercises reported better overall health, improved neurocognitive function and seem to be at reduced risk of depression.
Spurred by these promising results, a research team at the University of Alabama that included specialists in geriatric medicine, dementia and psychology conducted a pilot study of one package of brain-training exercises in 22 middle-aged HIV-positive people and compared their subsequent neurocognitive performance to that of 24 other middle-aged HIV-positive people who did not receive brain training.
Results of neurocognitive testing showed that after 10 hours of limited brain-training exercises done over a period of five weeks, participants had faster information processing. Bear in mind that this was a pilot study and although the results appear promising, there are many issues that need to be explored and resolved with regard to brain-training exercises in HIV-positive people.
Researchers carefully screened and recruited HIV-positive people without mental health conditions, brain trauma or any history of neurological damage.
The average profile of 46 participants was as follows:
Researchers randomly assigned participants to one of the following two groups:
Once randomized, participants returned to the study centre and were told how to do the brain-training exercises. The 10 hours of brain training could be done over a period of several weeks.
Participants used a program called Insight, made by the Posit Science Company. They used games that were designed to speed up information processing.
All participants were interviewed at the start and at the end of the study and at both time points underwent neurocognitive testing.
Those participants who did not receive brain training were contacted five weeks after randomization to schedule neurocognitive testing.

Cuomo Calls For 'Toughest Assault Weapon Ban In The Nation'
Who does he think he's fooling ? The crime rates nationally have been steadily declining for the past TWENTY years even as the population has grown by over 20% . There is no problem that the State needs to step in and address . There is no crisis awaiting the curative hand of State intrusion . This is a power grab plain and simple .
New York already has some of the toughest gun laws and it certainly is one of the most intrusive of bureaucracies , witness the mass exodus of corporation departing the state due to sky high taxes , onerous regulation and this unending attitude coming from Albany that the only solution is the State solution .
"We need a gun policy in this state that is reasonable, that is balanced, that is measured," Cuomo said. "We respect hunters and sportsman. This is not taking away people's guns. I own a gun … that's not what this is about."
"It is about ending the unnecessary risk of high-capacity assault rifles. That's what this is about," he added. "
If this governor is really interested in helping the people of his state he should devote his attentions to the real problems that exist in New York , namely the economy and jobs . Help to create an environment that is conducive to business growth and that will lead to more jobs , more revenue and less crime .

I've always been curious about ròusōng. I'd seen it on the top of buns at Chinese bakeries, occupying a wide swath of an aisle over at my local Chinese grocery store, and most intriguingly -- constantly stocked in a friend's cupboard.
After wondering for a while, I finally asked what it's used for -- and the answer I got was: pretty much everything. A cross between a snack, condiment and all-purpose flavoring, ròusōng, also called pork floss or meat floss, is a great topping for rice, bread, congee, tofu and, as I learned from Wikipeda, soy milk!
First off, a description for the uninitiated: the closest foodstuff I can think of is probably beef jerky meets cotton candy. Both beef jerky and rousong are dessicated, slightly sweet and made of meat. But that's where the similarities end -- the texture of pork floss is entirely different. Instead of tenuous, like beef jerky, it's crumbly, soft, a touch moist and slightly stringy. While I cover pork floss in this article, it also comes in beef, chicken and fish varieties.
I played it pretty safe but here are a few combos that worked well for me:
Meat Floss on Congee
Sick of plain old rice porridge? Top with rousong and a little green onion and you've got protein. I'd advise, though, to eat this fairly quickly before the floss has time to get too soggy.
Meat Floss Sandwich
There are a few things that will make your meat floss sandwich successful. DO: use soft, Wonder-like bread. DO: use some kind of lubrication -- my preferred condiment is mayonnaise (butter doesn't seem to work). DON'T: grill or make a panini. Trust me, it's just a bad idea.
Meat Floss Bao
This is just a no-brainer. I tried adding a few things into this, but found that a fresh, hot, steamed bao and pork floss made quite a tasty snack.
Meat Floss on Rice
Problem: the rice cooker has just beeped. You've got some fresh hot rice coming your way, but you're too lazy to do anything with it or make anything else. Solution: top with rousong, and maybe wrap with a little kim (roasted seaweed). Salty and sweet.
What do you do with rousong? Share your recipes on the site or comment below!

Reunited Britpop deities Pulp, looking just as debonair as you'd expect, were the musical guests on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last night, and I'm very happy to report that they absolutely slayed. On the show proper, the band played their undisputed stone classic "Common People." And as a web bonus, they also did a song I haven't heard in a dog's age: "Like A Friend," a relative obscurity that appeared on the Great Expectations soundtrack and on the B-side to "A Little Soul." Jarvis Cocker remains an absolute wonder of gawky middle-aged charisma and an inspiration to us all. Tuesday mornings can be tough, so you owe it to yourself to watch this one.
Below, we've got both performances. And as a special bonus, we've also got a clip of the last time the band appeared on Late Night: 1998, when Conan O'Brien hosted and they played the This Is Hardcore song "Party Hard."
Pulp will perform at Coachella this weekend, and I'm suddenly a little more jealous of everyone who's going.

Looks like we weren't the only ones questioning Kate Upton's worthiness of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover.
Sophia Neophitou, editor of 10 magazine and a creative force behind the much-hyped Victoria's Secret runway show, recently told The New York Times:
[Kate Upton is] too obvious…She's like a Page 3 girl. She's like a footballer's wife, with the too-blonde hair and that kind of face that anyone with enough money can go out and buy.
And despite Upton having appeared in print ads for Victoria's Secret, Neophitou added "we would never use" Upton for the December lingerie show, the most widely-viewed runway show in the world.
But Upton wasn't too hurt by the comments, recently telling "Access Hollywood" host Billy Bush, "Gisele's a football player's wife. Gisele's in that category so I'm good."
The buxom blonde added, "Im doing fine in my career, I don't need to walk down their runway so it's all good. She can think that and I can think whatever I want about her."

I wanted to take a moment to share a story, and ask for stories, just because we had a new expansion, and a huge push to level and do crazy new stuff.
Things are now starting to settle down, but for a few days there, when everything was shiny and new, a LOT of people's true personalities rose to the top. The hidden face was revealed.
For both good and bad.
Now, I could mention a lot of glowing, shining moments of happiness. Really, I can.
Like, Sunday, when I was mining on Windstar in Howling Fjord, doing my personally-developed route that has served me very well, and saw a node. Right on the edge. Right in front of me. Nobody around.
I moved forward to get it, still mounted… and as I stopped, my fingers fumbled, and my mount moved just a few feet farther forward… off the edge.
To drop about 3 feet onto a lower landing.
And as I stood there, still mounted, and turned to run back up… another Hunter rode up to it and instantly started mining it, right in front of me.
Happens all the time, right? At least, having others try to gank nodes that you are on top of seems to be a long standing tradition.
In this case, I was frustrated with myself for losing the node by my own clumsiness, and I whispered him… just a frustrated "Oh, come on… ". No swearing or anything lame like that, just a recognition that, yes, thanks buddy. Appreciate it. Glad the ore is worth it.
But the Hunter stopped, paused, and then came close to me, where I was at the lower level within touching distance already, and I swear to you, he opened trade and tried to give me the ore he just mined.
No, I'm not kidding!
Well, I refused of course, apologised for whining since maybe he didn't see me (okay, I was standing 1 foot away from the node, facing it and him… just 3 feet lower. How did he not see me? Nevermind, not important.), thanked him for his generosity but told him that he mined it, he earned it, but thank you very much for making my day by being so nice. Someone going to hadn over ore to someone else? Are you serious? That's like… that's like something I've done before, but I've never seen anyone else do that, ever.
Nice story, right? Heartwarming?
Of course, the story doesn't end there. Oh, how I wish it did.
See, he then, for some reason, decided to descend to the ledge I was on… just as I realized this particular ledge had no way back up. I could have reached the ore to mine, but I couldn't run up there. I had to do the fall/drop down to the beach, and run around to a lift.
And now, so did he.
No good deed goes unpunished, right?
Anyway… I encountered lots of nice people in the two days immediately after Wrath hit.
But I also got the ones that were such incredible idiots, I had to just blink in astonishment.
I would like to share one such story with you.
It was the very first afternoon after Wrath was released, and Cassie and I were leveling together in Howling Fjord.
We had done the starter stuff, and had then taken the explorer plane across the water to where some brave soul wanted us to train a hunting hawk to feed… by sending it after Turkeys.
So there we were… Cassie and I. Brave, bold, badass level 70s. With Hawks to feed, and rock grubs scavenged from under stones to get them in the mood. Oh yes, we are leet.
And we stroll on over to the West, where the Turkeys are supposed to be… to find a hundred blown apart Turkey carcases… and a single Mage named Msfrost standing in the middle of the area. As soon as a Turkey spawned, this Mage blew it up. Anywhere.
Now, you might think that Cassie and I were a bit irritated at having some moron blowing up the quest items. First day in the starter zone, and this is what you are doing with your free time?
But, well, it's not like there aren't more Turkeys somewhere else.
Cassie and I ran around, and worked the zone, and of course we found enough Turkeys after a bit. It was a pain, that Mage was mounting up and running around trying to scarf them up, but we got 'em, and went on to do the next step of the chain.
So we got the next one, going after the Falcons on the rocks, and that was pretty fun. Finding birds on rocks, timing our swoops so we would each grab one bird… hunting them in the air itself for mid-flight snatches… it was pretty fun.
But finding the twin bird spawns did take a while, what with the natural competition. Not Mage competition, just others doing the quest.
Still, with the time involved, it was over 30 minutes later before we were running back to turn in the falcon quest.
And Msfrost is STILL blowing up Turkeys.
Really! I can't make this crap up!
So I whisper her, and ask, "Why are you blowing up all the Turkey quest items in the area?"
And I get a response…
Oh, this is priceless…
"I'm killing them for a quest, stupid… DURRRRRR…………."
Just made me stop dead.
Is there a follow up quest we don't have yet? I thought we did the complete chain.
Well, come to find out much later… no, there is no quest to icebolt Turkeys. You unleash a Hawk on them. You certainly don't have a quest requiring you to shoot them yourself. And not for over 30 minutes.
I mean… okay, so Msfrost is… disadvantaged.
Either they are too stupid to comprehend the quest instructions, and honestly thought it was just the worst drop rate on the planet grinding Turkeys for 30 minutes, plus however long they were at it before or since we were there…
OR, and this was Cassie's thought.. maybe they were trying for the "Kill 15 Turkeys" Achievement…
Now, Msfrost said they she was killing them for a quest. An Achievement is not a quest. But, okay, I'll give you that one. If you're not that bright, quest, achievement, I guess they could be considered the same thing. Minus the drops and XP, of course.
But come on. If you've been trying to get the Achievement for over 30 minutes in a heavy Turkey area (and that area is considered one of the absolute best for Turkey camping for the Achievement), and you're a Mage, then I'm sorry. You need to learn to play. I don't care how heavily camped the area is by quest people (those damn people with their quests, interfering with my girnding an achievement! arrghh!).
You've got 3 minutes to kill 15 Turkeys for the Achievement. There are a LOT of Turkeys in the area. Rhey respawn, even then, damn fast.
Of course, we won't go into how polite it is of you to camp the Turkey spawn area during prime playing time when everyone else is trying to do the quest on day one.
But if you're not trying for the Achievement… if you're just committing massive fail on understanding a simple quest to feed your Hawk? For over half an hour?
I don't care, either way, no matter how you slice it… everything about the situation was a normal day questing in WoW, except for one thing… answering a simple question on why they are blowing up the quest items (as opposed to nabbing them with a hawk) with a nice big fat "DURRRRRR" all in caps.
I can't remember the last time, outside of high school in the mid '80s, that I heard someone say "Durrrrr". And here somebody TYPED it to me? In all caps?
OMigod, I had to share that with Cassie. That right there… that was priceless.
Bloggers, here is my challenge to you!
Share with us on your blog your favorite moment of asshatery commited against you in these first few days of the expansion. It must have some funny twist that raises it out of the norm.
Share with us your "WoW, people can be awesome out of nowhere" moment.
I'd invite my readers to comment and do the same, but… eh, I was told by the folks at the meet and greet that trying to force a community response is lame.

A round, gentle egg-shaped bowls in conjunction with a pulled stem results in GRAPE, such an elegant and harmonious shape that it is a design classic. The seamless pulled stem combines a special design feature, which creates an indent on the bottom of the bowl, causing light to be reflected and adding another dimension to the lively color of wine.

We do not have measurements to offer on each glass in regards to the thinness of the lip, but all RIEDEL glasses are beautiful thin blown crystal. Our rims are "cut", which allows the wine to flow smoothly onto the tongue vs. being "rolled" which obstructs the smooth flow of the wine which accentuates acidity and harshness.
