I bought this after is was raved about in the book 'No More Dirty Looks'. It is an amazing product, goes on so easily and covers marks, blemishes - everything! I never thought that such a green product could be such high quality.
I will never go back to 'dirty' make up again!
The first time I saw it I thought it was too subtle to cover the undereye area but it's definitely not! It covers my undereye circles (I have it in shade 11) giving a nice glowy effect. It doesn't emphasize my fine lines at all, on the contrary it gives a fresh and luminous look. I use it as eye primer too and it works (it never creases!). I find it great for the eyes area but not so effective in covering redness. I'll buy it again because nothing beats it in covering undereye circles!

Natural or not, this has become my favourite under eye concealer and the one that I reach for almost everyday. I love the ease with which it applies; I warm it up a bit with my finger and then pat it under my eyes and it literally melts right into my skin. It's smooth and moisturizing and leaves a subtly dewy finish that I find very flattering. As this is not just meant for under eyes, I have also attempted to use it as a face concealer (around my nose, on blemishes, etc.) but, for my skin (which tends to get oily/shiny, especially as the day progresses) I don't find this to be spectacular; if you have dry skin, it will probably work beautifully all over, but if I decide to use it on different areas of my face I usually need to apply a bit of powder all over my skin to keep things from getting greasy. This still gets top marks from me because I was quite the concealer junkie in the past, and this has slowly made it into my everyday routine as my go-to under eye concealer and the fact that I've been using the same pot for an entire year and haven't even been tempted to try a different concealer should speak volumes.

I love the short, simple and green ingredient list. I also love the way this melts into your skin, but after a while my skin is like an oil slick, primarily in the t-zone. I've tried not using my normal moisturizer underneath and just using my sunblock with this on top and still no luck. I have to touch up my skin with powder every 1-2 hours which is way too frequent.

This product should by rights be one of my favorites, but I find it immensely frustrating. I love the simple natural ingredients, lack of fragrance, highly-pigmented creamy texture, all that stuff. It looks beautifully natural and sets well with powder. However, it costs a bundle for a reeeeelly small form factor, and I just can't hack it.
I mean, it's a multipurpose concealer. It's supposed to be a go-to product that you can use all the time--to cover up, or sheered out as foundation, etc. A little does go a fair way, but you can only stretch a product like this so far without sacrificing all the texture and pigment balance that make it great. When I use the amount that makes it really effective and versatile, my brain screams at me about how much money I'm putting on my face.
If this were in a bigger container for the price, *especially* if it were in a big, easy to use, twist-up stick like the Nobara foundation/concealer from Shu Uemura, then it would rapidly become my favorite makeup. Right now, if you're going to spend a boatload on a creamy, solid concealer, get that Nobara. I'll enjoy using up this RMS pot but not buy it again.

This product is pretty crap for what you get. It is about the size of a lipbalm, if not smaller. I had really high hopes as it was all 'organic'. So, i assumed it would be really great on my skin to spot treat blemishes and under eye circles.
It was really heavy, oily and a little bit irritating. I don't have sensitive skin. I think that the price should really be lowered. i also think the packaging isn't great. i think it needs an applicator or a pump to make it cleaner like other brands.
Overall, not impressed.

I like the concept of this all natural product but I found it lacking in performance. It is very thick and I could never get it to look dewey on my normal/dryish skin (even though I had heavy weleda creams on underneath). Also, it seemed to dry my skin more and make it itch. I do have sensitive skin, but many products dont make me itch like this did. I dont feel I am overly sensitive to Coconut oil (internal or external) so I am guessing it is the high percentage of Castor oil that might be the culprit. Castor oil is the second ingredient and what makes it so thick.
I did like the colors even though color range is limited, they offer true skin colors that could work for lots of people. But they all tend to lean warm/golden so if you have true pink undertones than this prob will not work for you. It does cover redness, blotchiness and general discoloration. I could not get it to cover my darker brown freckles though and had to go back in with Hard Candy Glamoflauge concealer. Applying it with a damp sponge worked ok as did applying it with a real tehniques brush, but I can see that this is really meant to be applied with fingers so the heat warms it up. For me, I hate using my fingers and thats why I find it lacking in performance and versatility.
I will not purchase this again because of the dryness & itchiness issues. I have searched high and low for a natural foundation (no parabens, no phenoxyethanol, no synthetics, no talc, no gluten, no bismuth oxychloride, no boron nitride, etc.) and so far the best I have found is Earth's Beauty Revitalizing Cream Foundation. (have already tried and didnt like Nvey Eco, Zosimos, Logona, Erzulie, Jane Iredale and more) Earths Beauty has more color choices and more "slip" while still oferring good coverage. If you dont like RMS than definitely check out Eath's Beauty.

I had really high hopes for this one but Im not in love. Ive been using this for about 3 months. My skin is on the dry side plus its winter in New England. This comes in a very small glass container. A little product does go along way but its kind of difficult to blend. Unfortunately you will still need a separate concealer for any redness. This is kind of like the coverage of a tinted moisturizer. Not recommeded for oily skin since coconut oil is the main ingredient.

I just got this a few days ago, and like a lot of cream products, I believe there is a learning curve to the product.
Day 1; tried as an undereye concealer. It was weirdly hard to apply and dragged. I had not applied eye cream before because this was supposedly so moisturizing, but that was a mistake. I next put some Smashbox concealer on top, and it just got more cakey and awful. Had to go drop off son at school, so decided to try again later.
Later on Day 1: applied eye cream and smeared off makeup under eyes. Waited a while and then reapplied uncover. Did better than the first time, but still had to add a bit of Smashbox concealer near my nose. Put some silica powder on top to take down the shine. Does have a bit of shine to it if you don't.
Day 2: Put on moisturizer first. Put on uncover under eyes and on nose and cheeks this time. Tacky finish, but kept working it in. Nice match to skintone. Still added some Revlon stick concealer at the very edges of dark circles and some powder on top, but WOW! My dark circles disappeared! Did not cake at all the entire day.
Day 3: Same routine as day 2. Remarkable results. I'm used to using 2 products to conceal my undereyes, and I was hoping to use just 1, but the results are so good, I'm not minding so much.
I have oily skin, but this is not making me more shiny on my cheeks. The tacky feeling is gone with some powder on top. It doesn't look like makeup. I've realized I've been using a concealer that is too light and makes my undereye circles look too white. This concealer is darker than what I used to use, but the color is much better. Nice to know!
I'm concerned that it will make me breakout over time. Will update if it does. I think when this is running out, I'll try Vapour next just to see if it's better, but for now, I'm satisfied with this. Like others wrote, I get tired of mineral powders and I like cream concealers.
Update: I think it was starting to make me break out after 4 days, so I stopped using it. Also, on day 4, I had some ruddiness by my nose that it just did not cover. Since that's what it's supposed to be for, I don't see the point of using it. It's not so easy to use. I gave it to my mother who is older and has dry skin.

I think this is a great concealer. I'm pretty pale (NC15/Bobbi Brown Alabaster), and shade 11 blends nicely with my skin tone. I mostly use it to cover acne, and for that reason I appreciate that it's low on the weird chemicals, because it doesn't irritate the skin I'm trying to conceal. For what it's worth, I've never reacted poorly to the coconut oil in it, though I've never used it as all-over foundation. I don't use it as undereye concealer, but I once loaned it to a friend who needed something to cover dark circles in a pinch, and she really liked it. I actually broke the last pot I had by dropping it into my nice hard porcelain sink--this is the downside to glass packaging--and was just too lazy to go to the trouble of getting another one, but I'm planning on repurchasing once my current concealer runs out.

Nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 86th annual Academy Awards!
"A brilliant tale of love and loss ... it manages to punch you in the gut and break your heart at the same time." - Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly
"Searing ... an incredible love story in the harshest of circumstances. Adam Bakri, making his film debut, bares his soul, filling the screen with an astonishing range of emotional colors." - Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times
"A swift thriller, with exciting foot chases and tense gunplay, illuminates the unevenly shared predicament of Palestinians on the West Bank and the Israelis who police them." - AO Scott, New York Times
The new film from Oscar-nominated director Hany Abu-Assad (Paradise Now) is a tense, gripping thriller about betrayal, suspected and real, in the Occupied Territories. Omar (Adam Bakri) is a Palestinian baker who routinely climbs over the separation wall to meet up with his girl Nadja (Leem Lubany). By night, he's either a freedom fighter or a terrorist — you decide — ready to risk his life to strike at the Israeli military with his childhood friends Tarek (Eyad Hourani) and Amjad (Samer Bisharat). Arrested after the killing of an Israeli soldier and tricked into an admission of guilt by association, he agrees to work as an informant. So begins a dangerous game — is he playing his Israeli handler (Waleed F. Zuaiter) or will he really betray his cause? And who can he trust on either side? With the Academy Award-nominated Omar, Palestinian filmmaker Hany Abu-Assad (whose 2005 film Paradise Now was also nominated for an Academy Award) has made a dynamic, action-packed drama about the insoluble moral dilemmas and tough choices facing those on the frontlines of a conflict that shows no sign of letting up. (Dir. by Hany Abu-Assad, 2013, Palestine, in Arabic & Hebrew with subtitles, 96 mins., Not Rated, Adopt Films) Digital

I never accept tips from strangers when they have their own materials, though I've often had them mailed to me after the fact.

There's a lot of greed in Azeroth. My point of view is that since none of it is real, there's little point in profit if I have it to freely give.

Porsche is offering up proof that even the most luxurious cars can be fuel efficient with the debut of a V6 diesel engine on the Porsche Panamera .
The new Panamera Diesel is now equipped with a 3.0 liter V6 diesel engine that delivers a total of 250 HP and will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 6.8 seconds, while top speed is limited to 150 mph. What's even more impressive is that the sports sedan was tested and received an impressive 745 miles on an 80 liter tank with an average fuel consumption of only 6.3 liters per 100 kilometers, or about 37 mpg.
In Germany, the new Panamera Diesel will be priced at about 80,183 euro, or about $119,500 at the current exchange rates, and will go on sale in August 2011. There hasn't been any mention as to if the Panamera Diesel will be available on the US market.
UPDATE 08/31/11: We've updated our photo gallery of the Porsche Panamera Diesel with more pictures. Check out the gallery to see the new snapshots of the diesel Panamera!
Hit the jump to read more about the 2012 Porsche Panamera Diesel.
Exterior and Interior
The Panamera Diesel will still feature the stretched Carrera look as the standard model. It measures 4.97 meters in length and a mere 142 centimeters in height. The only difference in the exterior will be the word "diesel" on the front doors and trunk lid.
The interior still features the same high-end leather seats, soft-touch plastics, navigation system, three-spoke steering wheel and brushed aluminum surrounds that are found on all models in the line.
The new Porsche Panamera Diesel is powered by the same 3.0 liter V6 engine found in the Cayenne. This engine is further equipped with common rail direct injection through piezo valves at a pressure of 2000 bar, turbochargers employing electrically controlled variable geometry turbochargers (VGTs), and a controlled exhaust gas recirculation, oxidation catalyst, and particle filter that achieves emission control. All of these components deliver a total of 250 HP achieved between 3,800 rpm and 4,400 rpm and a peak torque of 405 lbs-ft available all the way from 1,750 rpm to 2,750. The new engine will sprint the Panamera from 0 to 60 mph in 6.8 seconds, with a top speed of 150 mph. It will only be offered in rear wheel drive version.
Fuel efficiency for the sports sedan is marked at 6.3 liters per 100 kilometers, or about 37 mpg and C02 emissions come in at 0.57 pounds of C02 per mile. Additional benefits for the Panamera Diesel are the start/stop function as standard and the optional adaptive air suspension.
In Germany, the new Panamera Diesel will go on sale August 2011 at a price of 80,183 euro, or about $119,500 at the current exchange rates. No word just yet on whether or not it will be available on the US market.
The list of competitors for a diesel variant of the Panamera will mirror that of the standard version with the BMW 7-Series and the Audi A8 .
BMW is rumored to be bringing a diesel 7-Series to the US market, but Europeans already benefit from the performance of models like the 740d xDrive. This model is powered by a straight six-cylinder engine that features TwinPower Turbo technology and Common Rail direct injection and delivers a total of 306 HP at 4,400 rpm and maximum torque of 442 lbs-ft is available between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm. The only area the new Panamera trumps the BMW is in fuel efficiency: the BMW only gets 33 mpg.
The story follows a similar plotline with the Audi A8. There isn't a diesel version available for the US market, but in Europe, customers can choose between a 3.0 TDI or a 4.2 TDI. The closest in performance to the Panamera Diesel is the 3.0 V6 TDI that delivers 250 HP and 405 lbs-ft. Fuel economy in the Audi pushes the envelope a bit further than the Panamera with 38 mpg compared to the Porsche's 37mpg.
- Impressive fuel economy
- Keeps the same level of luxury despite diesel engine
- Good performance
- Competitors offers variants that are more powerful and more fuel efficient
- Very big for a Porsche

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was not just one of the greatest Lakers, but one of the greatest players in the game of basketball. He's worked as a coach with both Shaq and Andrew Bynum, though he had a rocky relationship with both, and now he's going to work with Dwight Howard.
Howard revealed via Twitter that when he's well, he'll be working with Kareem.
It will be interesting to see how this goes. Kareem has a bit of an abrasive personality to people, but Howard seems like a naturally happy person, so it could offset Kareem. He is also willing and eager to learn, despite how man seasons he's had in the NBA, whereas, Bynum didn't feel Kareem had much to teach him after a certain point.
Howard is not quite seven feet, so having some of Kareem's tools in his arsenal could really behoove him, like the sky hook. No one has been able to master it, besides Kareem, but who knows what Howard is capable of learning.
While there's no telling how their personalities will mesh, it certainly can't hurt to have Kareem there giving Howard some championship-winning pointers.

Policy Implications of Stochastic Learning Using a Modified PAGE2002 Model
AbstractWe consider the importance of Endogenous Technical Change (ETC) on the risk profiles for different abatement strategies using the PAGE2002 model with ETC. Three outcomes from this modelling research have significant impacts on the way we 'optimise' the greenhouse gas abatement path. Firstly, it was found that for most standard abatement paths there would be an initial "learning investment" required that would substantially reduce the unit costs of CO2 abatement as compared to a business as usual scenario. Secondly, optimising an abatement program where ETC has been included can lead to an increased risk profile during the time of widespread CO2 abatements due to the costs associated with learning. Finally, the inclusion of ETC leads to a slightly deferred optimised abatement path followed by a drastic abatement program that itself would seem highly impractical. Together, the results draw attention to the possibilities of uncovering uncertainty through proactive abatements.

The Utah Utes' football season has been in a remodeling mode virtually from the beginning of the year thanks to injuries and personnel issues.
Now, almost halfway through the year, they finally feel they have a good foundation planted as they head into Saturday's game against UCLA (4-2, 1-2) on a two-game losing streak.
The loss to USC hurt, but it wasn't as discouraging as the blowout at Arizona State, the Utes (2-3, 0-2) said Monday.
A belief the changes being made to the offensive scheme plus some better individual play had the Utes in a much better mood than they were a week ago.
"We took a few steps forward in that SC game," receiver Dres Anderson said. "We want to win more than anything and we feel like we are going into UCLA with confidence and prepared. We can do better."
Offensively, the Utes must do a whole lot better.
The Utes' offense ranks just 114th nationally and last in the Pac-12, averaging 299.4 yards a game, and is 88th in scoring, averaging just 24 points.
Of particular concern to the Utes are a lack of a running game and a poor third-down conversion rate.
The Utes are averaging only 105 yards a game on the ground this year and are 22-for-74 in third-down conversions.
Whittingham said the Utes need a better run game to get into more manageable third-down situations.
Against USC, just one of Utah's 12 third downs was of 5 yards or less. Utah converted just three third downs, all in the second quarter.
"The first step in becoming a better third-down team is to get into some third and 4, 3, 2 situations rather than 6, 7, 8," he said. "Secondly, you have to be better in the throw game."
Quarterback Jon Hays took the blame for Utah's third-down struggles.
"We have to keep the drive going alive," he said. "You never know what can happen and we can't have so many three and outs, especially in the second half. That seems to be when they are coming and we have to do better to get the game going."
Utah believes it is making the changes necessary to see the improvement it wants. The offensive line was improved against USC and running back John White was healthier, although he rushed 13 times for 68 yards.
Schematically, Hays said he feels comfortable incorporating the spread elements offensive coordinator Brian Johnson is adding.
"We have a chance to be explosive, we just have to keep working at it," Hays said. "I like what we are doing. We have a great game plan. It's all about execution and cleaning up mistakes."
Utah on third down
The Utes have converted just 22 of 74 third downs. Here is a look at how they've done game by game.
vs. Northern Colorado 9-for-15
vs. Utah State 2-for-17
vs. BYU 4-for-16
vs. ASU 4-for-14
vs. USC 3-for-12

Is there a formula?? that determines how high should an IWB be hung?
Thanks in advance with appreciation.
No I don't think so, look at the people that are going to be using it and place it a comfortable height for them
The manufacturers installation instructions will normally give you standard installation heights of course you can go higher or lower depending on your specific requirements.
What sort of projector are you using?
You also need to take into account the layout of the room and the visibility of the board. Check that the board is visible from the back of the room for students who are at most of average height. There is no point putting the boards at the perfect height of the user if the image is not visible. If you do need to put the board in a low height then you need to think about mounting the board higher and putting in a step for the user.
The most important thing is the type of projector. Then once you have understood the constraints that puts on the board, the rest is as others have said.
Ultra short Throw and Short Throw projectors have very specific look-up tables dictating their position relative to the screen. This form a constraint with the ceiling, and the topmost edge of the screen.
If it is not of this type, consider the pole height for ceiling mount - you don't want it to be too low in the room, but also you don't want to have to keystone to much either.
Other than that, find an average height female member of staff, and ask them to reach as far up as comfortable with a pen, and set that as the top most edge of the screen (don't forget that the border will make the top edge of the board higher than this point). Then check visibility of the bottom edge of the screen from various locations in the classroom.
In my expereince boards in science labs have to be mounted higher than elsewhere due to desk height. Primary schools tend to have them substantially lower.
Thanks to all for your replies :-)
Much appreciated

MS. IFILL: More bad economic news spells bad political news for the president and possibly for the people who would replace him. We explain how it all works, tonight on "Washington Week."
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Our great ongoing challenge as a nation remains how to get this economy growing faster.
MS. IFILL: The question, of course, is how to move things along a little more quickly.
FMR. GOV. JON HUNTSMAN (R-UT): Rather than tinker around the edges of what is a broken system, I'm going to drop a plan on the front steps of the Capitol that says: we need to clean house.
FMR. GOV. MITT ROMNEY (R-MA): Career politicians got us into this mess and they simply don't know how to get us out.
MS. IFILL: But as the White House and Congress faced off over when the president should speak –
JAY CARNEY [White House Spokesman]: Thursday today, Thursday today, we want to give the speech – the president wants to talk to the American people.
MS. IFILL: – the race for solutions has quickly turned into a race for the political upper hand, even when it comes to paying for disaster recovery.
GOV. ANDREW CUOMO (D-NY): We believe at the end of the day the total damage will be close to $1 billion.
REP. ERIC CANTOR (R-VA): Those monies will be offset with appropriate savings or cost cuttings elsewhere in order to meet the priority that – of the federal government's role in a situation like this.
MS. IFILL: And the beat goes on. Covering the week: Eamon Javers of CNBC, Naftali Bendavid of the Wall Street Journal, Charles Babington of the Associated Press, and Jeanne Cummings of Bloomberg News.
ANNOUNCER: Award-winning reporting and analysis, covering history as it happens, live from our nation's capital, this is "Washington Week" with Gwen Ifill produced in association with "National Journal."
(Station announcements.)
ANNOUNCER: Once again, moderator Gwen Ifill.
MS. IFILL: Good evening. More bad news on the jobs front today sent the stock market into a tizzy and guaranteed that the president will spend his Labor Day weekend working. No job growth, a flat unemployment rate, and a sharp increase in unemployment among African-Americans, at 16.7 percent, now the highest since 1984. Unimpressive new numbers as the president prepares to present his jobs plan to a joint session of Congress next week. Republican candidate Mitt Romney weighed in today while campaigning in Florida.
GOV. ROMNEY: I watch Washington right now and it breaks my heart because the people there don't understand how America works. Obama is not working and he has disappointed the American people. And this morning, very bad news – did you see the numbers that came out on job growth? Look, there is zero faith on Barack Obama because he's created zero jobs last month.
MS. IFILL: This economic undertow is affecting everything this week, igniting new recession worries, and raising, as you just saw, political questions for Republicans and Democrats alike. What are we to read into these numbers, Eamon, what?
MR. JAVERS: Well, look, it was a total wipe out. I mean economists have expected maybe 60,000-70,000 jobs created and this morning we saw zero new jobs created in the month of August. That's an astonishingly bad number. We saw the stock market respond. We saw the political system respond to that, as you just saw. And this was the first time since February of 1945 that we'd actually gotten goose egg for the job numbers. It's been negative, of course, but that is a really bad sign and symbolically it's very bad. The RNC put out a statement, calling President Obama President Zero shortly after that number came out. So it's really an awful (climate ?) on the economy now.
MS. IFILL: And perhaps the administration saw this coming because yesterday we saw that OMB, the Office of Management and Budget say it's going to be 9 percent. Right now, we're at 9.1 percent employment. It's going to be that way all next year through the election.
MR. JAVERS: Yes, it's not really turning around, and that's the problem for the Obama administration. Typically, in the past, when we've had these monthly jobs report numbers come out, the president has gone out to a manufacturing plant or someplace where he can stand in front of some piece of equipment and give a sort of reassuring speech saying, it wasn't good enough, but we're doing everything we can. We didn't see that from the president today. About 12:30, he left for Camp David for a long weekend. And he didn't talk to reporters at all about this number. That was a little bit of a surprise.
MS. IFILL: In fact, he walked across the lawn to the helicopter holding his daughter Sasha's hand, as if she were his last friend in the world. How does this expect – how does this affect his plans for his big speech next Thursday night, Chuck?
MR. BABINGTON: Well, Gwen, this speech, as you said, was going to be about jobs all along. The problem is that there's only so much any president can do and particularly this president because he's tried so many things. The stimulus package, which a lot of economist said helped, but it proved to be very unpopular with the public. And now, there's so much emphasis on cutting spending, and that has a kind of an anti-stimulus effect if anything. So the president really is probably – he'll repeat some of the rather small-bore thing he talked about like patent reform and trade deals that might produce some jobs. But the thinking is he can't make a sweeping, dramatic proposal jobs – for jobs that would be very plausible.
MS. IFILL: And he didn't get to do it on the night that he originally chose. He sent this letter to the Hill, saying, I'll see you Wednesday night at 8:00. And John Boehner said, no, not so much.
MR. BABINGTON: Yes, that so happened, Gwen, that that was the very night that we're going to have a Republican debate, the first one involving Rick Perry. And even though John Boehner, Speaker Boehner's response to him didn't mention the debate, he said Wednesday night really would not be convenient. How about Thursday night? The president did give in. The whole thing looked kind of muddled and messy. In the big scheme of things, it's not a big deal, but it wasn't a pretty picture.
MR. BENDAVID: So Chuck, what are the Republicans saying about jobs? They do have this debate on Wednesday night and obviously the president is the president, but the Republicans want to be presidents, so what kind of solutions do they have to all of this?
MR. BABINGTON: Yes, well, you know, Naftali, when you're a challenger, you never have to be terribly specific. And so you see a lot of what we just saw with Mitt Romney there just saying, the president has failed, the president has failed. Now, Romney is going to give a speech Tuesday, where he's supposed to lay out some jobs proposals. But basically what the Republicans have said over and over again, we need to cut regulations, cut taxes, or hold taxes down, and set a more robust environment for job creation. The truth is that, you know, taxes have been fairly low, and regulations haven't changed a lot and that hasn't produced jobs either. But they are not held responsible for it the way the president is.
MS. CUMMINGS: Eamon, even if the president were to succeed to pass, as Chuck mentioned, patent reform and trade deals, the business community wants these things. They're hungry for them, but they are not going to be instant job creators. Is there – what kind of short-term thing does he have left that could make a difference between now and next summer?
MR. JAVERS: All of those measures are pretty small, be it relative to the size of the U.S. economy. What he's trying to do is at least show that they can do something, right? Because all we've got going on right now is an economic stall at the same time that we have a political stall on the part of the president. The economy is at that point now – we were saying earlier – where, when you're driving up a hill in the snow and you start to realize, hey, wait a second, I'm not going forward anymore, I'm starting to slip to the side. That's where the economy is. And it's a little bit where the president is politically as well. We're starting to see his polls really taking a nosedive now, and we're also starting to see some speculation that whatever he says next week in terms of proposals doesn't really stand much of a chance of getting through Congress anyway. So there's a question of whether he can actually do anything at all at this point. And that's got to – that's got to be what has the White House most scared at this point.
MS. IFILL: Well, and Chuck, the president seemed to be stuck – as he always seems to be in some sort of rock and hard place because a lot of Democrats aren't very happy with him this week. And today, the latest example was he decided to hold off on these clean air regulations, which environmentalists really wanted, and in doing so made the oil companies and the Chamber of Commerce very happy.
MR. BABINGTON: That's right, Gwen. Every president sort of has to do a balancing act between his base and the independent voters that are crucial in a general election. And so for Obama, of course, his base is a liberal base. They have been very unhappy about, you know, going all the way back to concessions made with health care and a number of things. And this ozone decision today just really fired up in a very unhappy way the environmental community.
One thing sort of along these lines that we might look for in this Thursday speech before the joint session of Congress is a somewhat different tone from the president. I'm hearing that he may draw a little sharper line regarding the problems of Republicans digging in in a partisan way. And what he might try to do is say, you know, I'm calling for bipartisanship. That's what I want. That's what I need. But if you don't provide it, we'll take our case to the American people.
MR. JAVERS: You know, that ozone decision was really more important than just the merits of the particular case because what the president did there was he conceded the point to Republicans that regulations inhibit economic growth. In their statement about that rule and pulling back the EPA, they said the economy is simply too fragile for us to do right now. That's a Republican point -- that overregulation is hurting the economy, that the Obama administration, by extension, is hurting the economy by imposing all sorts of new regulations on it. Obama basically played into the Republican argument on that. That's one of the things, in addition to the environmental issue itself, but conceding the case is what's got the base so frustrated.
MR. BENDAVID: So what turns this around? I mean, what is there on the horizon that could possibly turn this terrible job situation around and make it look a little better?
MS. IFILL: And in time to please people like the Congressional Black Caucus, which is not very happy about these jobs numbers and don't see a way out and became increasingly vocal about it.
MR. JAVERS: That's what's the problem right. Is that there's nothing really on the horizon that's going to turn this situation around. I mean, people expected that this would – had been turned around long ago. Economists were saying, we should start to see growth. We should start to see growth. We're not seeing it. Part of the reason why is that U.S. corporations are extremely profitable right now by and large. And a lot of them have an enormous amount of cash on hand. I mean Apple, for example, has more than $70 billion worth of cash sitting on the sidelines. Companies are very afraid of the economic outlook going forward. And so they're not doing anything with that money.
If they were to put that money into the economy, start buying companies, building plants, doing something with it, that would help, but you got to get past that fear factor and that's what's holding everything back.
MS. CUMMINGS: Well, and we've discussed here, Chuck, that the president probably can't get much through Congress. And that's really bad for the president. But do Republicans get a cake walk? I mean, they've got elections, too, next year. What is their political – are there political ramifications for them as well?
MR. BABINGTON: Well, they do – of course, Jeanne, the Republicans in Congress, all in the House and quite a few in the Senate do have to run for reelection. Generally speaking in big economic issues such as jobs, the public. They see the president more than anyone else as the government. But I do think all this portends a quite likely very negative, possibly very bruising presidential campaign because when you're a president, you've got a bad economic record, and there's not a whole lot you can do, as we've been discussing here, the only thing you can do is make the alternative worse. And for some time you've been hearing Obama's people say this will not be a referendum. It'll be a choice. Of course, it will be a referendum, but really that's a code – I think that's code for you think things are bad with us? The other guy would be even worse.
MS. IFILL: Does it matter anymore whether the president inherited this mess or is – does he now fully own it?
MR. JAVERS: No because I think going into election next year, you're going to hear the famous question: are you better off now than you were four years ago? And four years ago – the implication is during the president's time in office. And I think he's got to answer that. He owns the economy politically.
MR. BABINGTON: I don't think they can frame the question exactly that way, which of course, is a way that Ronald Reagan famously phrased it because right at the time of the 2008 election, things were very, very bad. Polls do show that to some degree people still pin some of this problem on George W. Bush.
MS. CUMMINGS: A majority of them.
MR. BABINGTON: Yes. Which is kind of surprising. Now, the election's 16 months away. What that number will be at the end, I don't know, but that is a ray of hope for Obama.
MS. IFILL: Well, he's probably happy for any ray of hope at this stage. Thank you all. It's one thing to talk about economic and political theory, but this is where the rubber hits the road: disaster spending. The question: is it really possible for the federal government to help states hit by hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes without cutting something somewhere else? We got the first test of that argument this week didn't we, Naftali?
MR. BENDAVID: Well, we did, because Eric Cantor, the House majority leader, suggested that if we're going to give aid for victims of Hurricane Irene, which, he said we absolutely should, that that money should be offset by cuts elsewhere if possible. And that immediately was jumped on by Democrats who were saying, look, that's not compassionate. These are fellow Americans suffering. And we have to not get back into the political debate over spending. We've just got to help these folks.
MS. IFILL: And wasn't it also jumped on by some Republicans as well, who happen to be governors of the states?
MR. BENDAVID: That's right. I mean, particularly Chris Christie in New Jersey and Bob McDonnell in Virginia, Eric Cantor's home state, they didn't really jumped on him, but they took a different view. And in fairness to Mr. Cantor, they don't have to worry about federal spending because they're state governors. And they just said, we need the money. Let's not worry about offsetting it. We need help now. But it's an interesting and emotional issue because I think the public is very affected by images of their fellow Americans suffering. And so to have that come up against this concern about spending makes for a very interesting and unusual tension.
MR. JAVERS: How did Cantor respond to the criticism? There was this immediate firestorm when he said – what was his statement, you know, 24 hours, 48 hours later?
MR. BENDAVID: Well, I mean his folks certainly would not say that he backed off it, but it's true that he didn't repeat it. And his office put out some things that to me at least seemed intended to kind of soften it. They made it clear that they think victims should get help and that, hey, the president hasn't actually asked for anything, so why are we even talking about this. I think it's something where Republicans see a bit of peril because disaster relief is one of those areas where even a bunch of hawks think we need to be spending money. It's a role for the federal government. And so you don't necessarily want to get into a fight about exactly how disaster relief spending is offset.
MS. CUMMINGS: And well, where are we now? I mean, clearly Irene is going to cost the government quite a bit of money. There're a lot of people who have suffered tremendous loss with their homes and their cars, not to mention people's lives. But where we – where is the money? Now, do they have the money?
MR. BENDAVID: Well, that is interesting. In some ways, this whole thing's taking place in the realm of hypothetical because, again, there's no overall estimate of the cost. The administration hasn't asked Congress for more money. But the reason this came up is that the Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA -- its disaster relief fund is down to about $700 million, which is on the low end.
MS. CUMMINGS: Yes.
MR. BENDAVID: And in fact, they've decided that they're not going to consider some long-term projects because they want to save the resources for people who need it now. And so the question is when will that fund really run low or start running out? When will the administration ask for money? That hasn't happened yet. And so to some degree, this won't come to a head until that happens.
MS. IFILL: We remember how poorly FEMA was seen in 2005, after Katrina. Have they managed to walk this tightrope, especially in this political back and forth?
MR. BENDAVID: I think they have. I mean you're hearing even, you know, Chris Christie, governor of New Jersey rising Republican star, his state was hit pretty badly, and he's had nothing but praise for FEMA. And you haven't really heard criticism of the agency itself in direct contrast to what we saw after Katrina. And they've basically handled this whole flap by staying out of it, as you would expect them to do. They're not saying anything about offsets. They're not saying anything about spending. They're just kind of reassuring people that they're going to get the aid that they need and that they'll ask for help if they need it. So they have walked a very careful tightrope. I think they really do want to avoid being the same sort of punching bag that they were a few years back.
MS. IFILL: Who can blame them?
MR. BABINGTON: I wonder, does this foreshadow debates we're going to see further down the road when we start talking about deficit reduction? A lot of people like the idea of cutting government in the abstract, but oh, you're going to cut FEMA right after a hurricane? That didn't seem like such a great idea. So when this super committee sits down to look – they're going to run into this kind of thing over and over.
MR. BENDAVID: Yes, I think they are. I mean, everybody took great note of this deal that we reached in early August, but that didn't end the fight. In fact, a lot of the things in the deal – there were triggers and there were limits and there were caps, but some of the nitty-gritty tough decisions have yet to be made. And there's going to be a lot of decisions, like this one on FEMA that people are going to be hurt, you know. The cuts are going to mean something to people. And so I think what this shows is we're going to see this sort of battle play out over and over again in the next few months.
MS. IFILL: And there's no agreement on what is immune. War spending has been considered immune to this kind of balanced budgeting, the zero, pay-as-you-go kind of concept. And so has disaster spending.
MR. BENDAVID: Exactly. I mean, those are sort of the two big areas, where really they've been considered kind of beyond this sort of budgetary discussion. But I don't think that's true anymore. I mean, even Republicans are putting defense spending on the table. You know, now, of course, some Republicans are talking about offsetting disaster relief. I think it's a new ball game and these battles are going to be bloody and they're going to be difficult, and this is just the first of many.
MS. IFILL: It's a real reality check and we have another one for you. It's one thing for challengers to declare that it's time for the incumbent to go. It's another thing for them to raise the money to make it happen. Mitt Romney, Rick Perry, Jon Huntsman, and Michele Bachmann are all raising the money, but are they going to use it to turn their fire on the president or on each other, Jeanne?
MS. CUMMINGS: Well, it looks to me like this fight's going to get a lot more interesting. The primary among the Republicans, the entry of Rick Perry, governor of Texas, a hardball player, sharp elbows, sharp tongue, noted for being an expert at defining his opponent before his opponent can define himself.
MS. IFILL: He's never lost an election.
MS. CUMMINGS: Never lost an election. He's been in office for almost two decades. So he gets in the race and everybody started to put up their defenses. And Michele Bachmann was among the first. She was overcome in the polls, stomped on her – her rise after that straw poll victory. She was the first to deep into what is called a super-PAC, which is technically not hers, technically she never coordinates with these people, but they went out and launched the first attack out of the primary against Perry. They've unleashed – they have released it this week. It will run next week, in the beginning of the week, in South Carolina. And that where these super-PACs, the new, brand new toy of the presidential campaign will be playing this year. And the super-PAC, of course, is a political action committee, just like any other, but because of a loophole in federal election law, that went on steroids after the Supreme Court decision, takes unlimited amounts of money from anyone. And so they can rev up one of these things with four friends with million dollar checks or less.
MS. IFILL: We love our loopholes.
MR. BABINGTON: Jeanne, talk about the role that these super-PACs play and that possible they could actually be just so out of control of the candidate that they could be a problem or is that very unlikely?
MS. CUMMINGS: In a presidential campaign, that's difficult. However, we saw in 2010, in midterm, when we saw the trial run of this type of committee that we did have House races, in particular, where you had an incumbent Democrat basically running against these committees. The actual Republican candidates they were running against in at least two cases were broke. They had no money. But the Democrat was forced to spend millions on advertising because these groups came in and spent millions against him or her.
The Senate not so much. The senators were able to fight back. So I think in a presidential campaign, they're not going to be able to rise to that level. Presidential candidates should be able to take care of themselves. But what's happened is everybody's in the game now. The Democrats were late last year, in 2010, not so now. So we have six candidates who have super-committees – super-PACs and between them all, there're about 12 super-PACs. So there're – some of them are consolidating. Rick Perry came into the race with six of them. They're all now consolidating under one. Michele Bachmann has two, right now. Obama has two, right now, but they're coordinated.
MS. IFILL: We should say Obama partisans and Bachmann partisans and Perry partisans because they're the candidates themselves, yes.
MS. CUMMINGS: That's right. These are friends of these particular candidates. Even Ron Paul's friends have started – (laughter) – one with a name that I actually think is wonderful. It's the Revolution PAC. And that's perfect for the Ron Paul crew.
MR. JAVERS: How do these Republicans' fundraising compare to the president's because we've seen – he's taken such a political beating in the past couple of months. And yet you see his schedule and he's got a lot of time on there for going out and having dinner at the homes of wealthy donors.
MS. CUMMINGS: The White House knows – from everything you all have spoken about, they are in for a race. They knew they were in for a race anyway. Incumbents get challenged because they have a record. And so it's just tougher. Reelection is tougher. But it's made all the worse because of the economy. So they know they're in for a hard race and that's going to cost a lot of money. In terms of the fundraising, he's cleaning their clocks. I mean, he raised over $40 million in the second quarter with events with the DNC. If you put it all together, it was $86 million. And Romney raised the most for the Republican field at 18 (million dollars). So that's how much more money he's got than them.
But Bachmann and Perry are a known stress right now. They are both also noted fundraisers. They are – have built their own reputations. Bachmann raised more money than any other House member, $13 million in the last cycle. And she did much of that with small donors, a la Obama. And so that's a hidden strength with Michele Bachmann that we'll get a good look at when her report comes out later this month.
She got into the race four days before the last report deadline. And so there was no way to measure her strength. Perry, on the other hand, is also a noted fundraiser.
MS. IFILL: Quickly.
MR. BENDAVID: Well, I just was wondering how the shakeup in the presidential campaign with the – (inaudible) – of Perry how that affected fundraising on the Republican side.
MS. CUMMINGS: Yes, Perry's come in and tried to scoop up people who were on the sidelines that are friends of Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour. And he's also working the ex-Tim Pawlenty crowd, trying to collect up those friends and build a broad national donor base.
MS. IFILL: So we'll wait for the next reports and see how everyone is competing against each other. Thank you, everyone. We're out of time for now, but keep up with daily developments, including live PBS coverage of the president's jobs speech all week on the PBS "NewsHour." And as we enter a period of observances for the 10th anniversary of the 9/11terrorists attacks, turn to "Washington Week Online" for special features, showcasing how our "Washington Week" panelists covered and experienced the day and the years that followed. We'll post new remembrances on our website every day, beginning Tuesday. You can find us at PBS.org. And we'll also have a special look on next week's broadcast. Here's a preview. Happy Labor Day and good night.

PhpMyAdmin increase import size limit
PhpMyAdmin is a part of the famous XAMPP package. It is responsible for managing database, privileges, settings and other key features. One of the common problem faced in XAMPP is the file size limit. There is a default 2 mb limit on the upload size of XAMPP. This issue can be fixed by changing the upload limit size in the PHP.ini file.
Problem Faced
No data was received to import. Either no file name was submitted, or the file size exceeded the maximum size permitted by your PHP configuration.
This means that the database schema or data that is imported is quite large than the given 2Mb limit.
- Locate the php.ini file. By default in XAMPP it might be located at lampp/etc/. (You might need to be in sudo mode to edit the file).

Supreme Court Voids Aggregate Campaign Contribution Limits
The U.S. Supreme Court struck down aggregate contribution limits under federal campaign finance law, continuing its line of cases rejecting restrictions on campaign money under the First Amendment.
What's being said
Who would want to live in country wherein politics were equally influenced by successful entrepreneurs and no-good layabouts on welfare; by responsible married parents and irresponsible singles breeding willy-nilly and dooming themselves and their children to lives of poverty and ignorance; by sober, law-abiding citizens and addled crack hos?
Besides, since there's a George Soros for every Charles Koch, Hillary Clinton might ask: "What difference does it make" how much money our First Amendment allows to flow freely into politics?

Woman indicted for distributing heroinApril 29,2014Woman indicted for
distributing heroin
A 22-year-old Massachusetts woman has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges she sold hundreds of bags of heroin in southeastern Vermont.
The U.S. attorneys office said that Friday a not guilty plea was entered on behalf of Seanna Krasin of Holyoke, Mass.
She was indicted on two counts of heroin distribution.
Court records said the Vermont Drug Task Force used a confidential informant to buy 250 bags of heroin from Krasin in Springfield on April 7 and on April 10, 800 bags.
Prosecutors said the investigation found that between November and her arrest on April 10 she sold between 6,000 and 8,000 bags in Vermont.
Krasin was released on conditions.
Her attorney did not return a call seeking comment Monday.MORE IN This Just InThe Associated Press Full StoryThe Associated Press Full StoryStaff Report Full Story

Rogers employees on their own forums have been stating that these games use P2P to run, which is why they're being throttled, and that the game manufacturer needs to change the game. Add to this, Rogers employees have been telling us gamers to disable any P2P, wait 10 minutes, and try the game again. (For the record, these games do NOT use P2P, never have and never will.) I see this as a CLEAR indication that they're knowingly throttling up/down stream of the entire connection while P2P is active, whether it really IS active, or they just think it is. I don't use P2P at ALL, and yet I'm still affected by this issue because Rogers sees my gaming traffic incorrectly as P2P.(All emphasis original)When the CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) investigated, Rogers owned right up to the issue. The company states: "Our tests have determined that there is a problem with our traffic management equipment that can interfere with World of Warcraft... We recently introduced a software modification to solve the problems our customers are experiencing with World of Warcraft. However, there have been recent changes to the game, which has created new problems. A second software modification to address these new issues will not be ready until June."

This is a terrible business practice but I know in the many parts of the U.S. we are stuck with only one or two options. Here in the Northeast the only options I have are Comcast and At&t both which will have a cap on the connection and both which throttle certain types of traffic or at least did at one point.
Hmm does anyone remember that guys girlfriend who deleted his WOW characters?
I dont think anyone wants to come in between a world of warcraft player and his WOW fix, so Canadian ISP's be warned, cataclysm isnt just an in game expansion pack for World of Warcraft, it can expand to you directly as well.
And in case you dont remember that Wow guy and his girlfriend, heres the link
i haven't seen these youtube reactions before and honestly- they're awesome.
but kinda tragic. tragic like you stole crack from a crackhead tragic.
I was always much more a fan of the kid who whined about not getting to raid. Or the classic "More dots."
If ISP's get their way then they will literally stop competition and resort to price fixing. Competition needs to be revamped up in this area and the only way that will happen is if these companies get off their butt and work on beefing up their backbone and expanding to the rural areas.
As a Canuck myself who abandoned Rogers 4 years ago... Boy am i glad i left... We get friggin throttled for everything! + SUCH LOW caps.... 70$/ month for a measily 10mb @ a max of 70-80gigs... wtf.
At least with www.teksavvy.com I have a 5mb line, but a 300gb cap... i'd sacrifice speed for quantity
ROFL; Blizzard uses Bittorent for updates, I would say this person leaves it on default which is update over time, so it stays on all the time and pings the update servers randomly.
One of the reasons Roger's had been "accidently" throttling back W.O.W. is because the game uses a P2P client to install all their updates; and Roger's was under the impression that people using P2P were up to no good-this is far from the case.
I'm with Shaw myself; and although I can't really complain about my download speed (15Mbps), or the 100GB cap (which I never seem to go over?), compared to countries-e.g. the European Union-Canada's pretty much at the bottom of the dung heap for both download speeds, caps (or lack thereof in Europe), and cost.
So how are we supposed to attract investors with this B.S. ?
quite sad.... caps don't help QOS they just help increase revenue.
lol i dont think people should complain... there are people that have it much worse... people that are forced to either have dail-up or satelite internet and there is no WOW playing on that :P lol i know cause i came from such a family :)
I see a real world quest arising out of this
It seems odd to me that this is happening with something as widely used as Warcraft. I mean I get the Bittorent thing, or at least understand it, but the updates Blizzard does through it after the initial one are pretty small. They use a wide range of addresses which I am sure are partially random, but they have to be at least somewhat managed. So Blizzard gives them those specific addresses, and they throw them on a do not block list. Then Blizzard uses specifically those addresses for any ISP that has difficulties with Bittorent.
Remember, the claim here is that Rogers supposedly great DPI technology isn't working correctly. Rogers response indicates that yes, it *is* possible not to filter WoW, but that their current implementation isn't doing so.
Hi, I am Elise with Rogers social media team. I wanted to bring some clarifications about the issues with the game World of Warcraft.
First I want to stress that we thank all of our customers for their patience while we were investigating.
What we know today is that there is a problem with our traffic management equipment that is inadvertently slowing the game for some customers. While we have fixed some issues with a software modification, new problems have emerged that we expect will be addressed with a second software update in June.
We believe the problem occurs when P2P is running while simultaneously playing the game. If you are experiencing problems we suggest you turn off the peer to peer setting within the WoW game and ensure no other P2P file sharing applications are running while playing WoW. WoW does use P2P for software updates, but with this setting changed you should continue to automatically receive software updates through other methods.
This is only a temporary solution. We continue to work closely with the game manufacturer and our equipment supplier to help resolve this issue as soon as possible.
You can't really say this is only happening to some Roger's (W.O.W.) customers, now can you, players rely on this network-and always have-to update their game.
Why should the players cutoff their updates (or P2P network), just so Roger's can (slowly) work on a solution, this is hardly a fix.
Hey Rodgers, take off you hoser!
LMAO June?! Wow your customer service really sucks to make people wait 3 months or more for a viable fix. Really you cant download and install a free program called Wireshark to monitor network traffic on a machine with the free 14 day trial of WoW on and see exactly what data is coming to and from that machine? It is so simple to do this to figure out why your traffic management equipment is having issues with the game and give this information to the traffic management equipment people for a fix. This should take all of a matter of hours to get and send off and a fix should be issued within a few days if you make it a priority for them. Worst case scenario it could take a max of 2 weeks to do all of this but not 3 months. Someone over there needs to get their head out of their *** and think for once instead of brown nosing it.
Thank you for registering and posting on this topic. It *is* possible that a recent change on Blizzard's part aggravated the problem. It's now possible to launch and play the game before a full patch is entirely downloaded; this may cause the ISP to simultaneously detect P2P activity as well as the game itself.
Yeah Joel H I understand that they say that, but if it is filtering Bittorent then it is. The way WOW works on default (which is the way most install it as well as run it, the server flips while active because it knows it is connected. The reason it does this specifically with bittorent is it spreads the load of course, but it also allows multiple ports of entry with low low bandwidth costs for there servers which only monitor successful link. I have looked at it actively running and many of the connections will say 0 bandwidth, but it is really just super low so it does not effect them or hinder the customer. The problem is it is still Bittorent which rogers does either halt or slow, if it is already running ultra low anyway that then becomes non responsive. At that time the game thinks your disconnected shutting the connection on your end after a short amount of time. When you shut a single portal on Bittorent it is also a random port so double random cancels then, the server thinks it has assured your disco, then in a couple minutes bounces you even though your still connected. Blizzard and Rogers would have to agree on a server range, I don't know if it would be as advantageous for Blizzard if they had to do that because it would lower availability and spread making it take more bandwidth from there end.
The big Canadian ISPs(especially Bell) have been throttling torrents etc for years.

If nobody smiled and nobody cared
And nobody helped us along,
If every moment looked after itself
And good things always went to the strong;
If nobody cared just a little 'bout you
And nobody cared about me,
And we stood alone, in the battle of life,
What a dreary old world this would be.
Life is sweet just because of the friends we have made
And the things which in common we share
We want to live on, not because of ourselves
But because of the people who care.
It is doing and giving for somebody else
On which all of life's splendor depends.
The joy of this world, when you've summed it all up
Is found in the making of friends.
Nothing like a good friend. :-)
Vitamin F
Real Age doctors tell us that friends are good for our health. Dr. Oz calls them Vitamin F (for Friends) and counts the benefits of friends as essential to our wellbeing. Research shows that people in strong social circles have less risk of depression and terminal strokes. If you enjoy Vitamin F constantly you can be up to 30 years younger than your real age. The warmth of friendship stops stress and even in your most intense moments it decreases the chance of a cardiac arrest or stroke by 50%!
In summary, we should value our friends and keep in touch with them. We should try to see the funny side of things and laugh together, and pray for each other in the tough moments.

That's definitely my fear as well. i can easily make 250g in about 3 hours now, which is honestly absurd.
70s won't have trouble buying anything, and those of us willing to sugar daddy our alts will be fine, but I feel sorry for the *real* newbies leveling up for the first time without access to those resources.
Except... You're missing the fact that EVERYONE has access to the same resources. Newbies can do the same daily quests as you or me now, unlike the Ogri'la quests which had prerequisites.
You also have to realize, anyone could easily make more than 250g in 3 hours just by farming motes and selling them on AH. My average pace when I was farming was around 150g per hour, which is only slightly under what I'm doing with my optimal dailies path. The only reason why there's more gold coming in now is that the idea of dailies is more enticing to people than farming.
but what are people spending their money on?
that's the real question. Since an epic flyer costs 5k, you'll see a lot of people just farming up for that. Once they hit exalted with SSO, the vast vast majority of people won't be doing these dailies any more. At least not every single one of them all the time. It may be easy to do them, but it isn't the fastest gold out there, nor the most profitable all things considered. I started out doing them on 3 alts as often as possible but once my mage hit exalted I've gone down to 2, and when my warrior hits exalted I'm probably going to slack on him too.
I'd personally rather run a heroic in 1.5hrs of my time than do dailies once there isn't anything significantly interesting to buy. And once you have epic flying, unless you need tradeskill materials, having a large amount of gold is basically a bit useless.
@Pzychotix I think you're missing a couple of points.
First, farming motes for 150g/hour to sell on the AH and doing dailies for 150g/hour are 2 different things from an economic standpoint. With the former, the money you receive is comming from another player and is being cycled through the economy. With the latter however, the money is being generated out of thin air. So far, Blizzard has done a good job of keeping enough places where money can disappear as well, (such as buying a flying mount or purchasing something from an NPC) but over time, if any imbalance occurs, the surplus of gold in the economy will push prices up.
As for what Rob said about newbies, I believe he meant new players just starting the game that will have to purchase items off an inflated AH (and don't have access to money-making dailies).
I don't think this will affect new players much, but I am concerned that with the new dailies, there hasen't been much added to remove gold from the economy (the "of the Shattered Sun" title and the pay 10g daily quest are all I can think of right now) and that we may see inflation start to rear its ugly head.
I guess all we can do is wait and see what happens, and hope that Blizzard responds to any issues that may arise.

THE ULTIMATE PAPER CAR AND DIALY by paper delivery Saturn(seattle) on 12/24/2008. Trim: 2001 Saturn SL1, Owned 7 years.
Pros: i like the reliability the looks basicly everything.my familys had one or more saturns around since 1996 and you can run them into a tree and total them and theyl still run also we use them as paper cars and dialys with no problems at all.the only thing you have to do to them s do the basic maintenence and there fine just like you would any car and there easy to work on they wreck well compared to most cars that crumple,there easy on gas and there the best car gm has ever built and ive seen alot of other cars on paper routs that die real qiuck but not the sl series
Cons: theres nothing that i dont like about the car
Overall review: AWSOME!!!!!!!!!

Ultimate car for daily use by Nick Ter Doest, Fargo, ND on 01/04/2012. Trim: 2001 Saturn SL1, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Great MPG, Good Sound from stock system, NO ABS which makes winter easier, nice handling, and also easy car to maintain, also i upgraded the cd player and all the panels fit back nicely as long as you take out all of the screws first.....2 on driver side interior panel, 4 under the steering wheel and 2 behind the dash panel holding the cd player.....
Cons: Nothing
Overall review: Great car for someone who drives alot or for a first car....

Worst Excuse for a Car by Yo on 12/11/2009. Trim: 2001 Saturn SL1, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: I got this car from a Saturn dealership. Don't trust anyone! Thought the dealership would be more trustworthy, not! Seems like when they bought this car from the previous owner, they did the minimal work on it to get it out the door. Feels like it's going to break any second. I have had it for 2 years, since 58,000 miles. It has had many repairs, and there is still something wrong with it. They said the wheel bearing, and the gasket were going bad, but it turned out to be a rotor, and a fuel injector. I refuse to get the Intake Gasket fixed, they want around $500 for it. They could've just fixed the car before they resold it, and had a happy customer, instead Saturn has made a lifelong enemy
Overall review: Never again.

A Good First Car With Solid Reliability by Robby G on 10/17/2008. Trim: 2001 Saturn SL1, Owned 4 years.
Pros: The car handles surprisingly well for a car in this price range. The car is a solid reliable car as long as you keep up with all the matienence like my dad did, I'll give it that. It will get you from point A to point B safely without trouble. The car sips gas, I get about 35MPG. IT has a good motor in the car ( Both Engines) The back seats aren't too bad. The Stock deck isn't bad, I got upgraded speakers put in the back and left 2 stock in the front and surprisingly it can get pretty loud. The car has dent resistant panels and is safe. This is one of the best cars Saturn made.The brakes are decent and the handling is good for a car in the class.
Cons: The seats on long trips get uncomfortable and they feel like they are prone to getting worn pretty fast. The Acceleration isn't too good, but then again its a SOHC engine with 100HP not meant to be raced. The styling is boring. IF your a young person slap on some tints to make it look better. The transmission shifts somewhat smoothly however is slow to respond.
Overall review: Very Reliable. I am a senior in high school. Got a Burgandy SL1 from my dad who bought it used at a dealer in 2004. It had 38K now it has 92K approaching 93K. I'll tell you something. Its not the most beautiful of cars, but it indeed, is very reliable. Keep up with all the oil changes maintenance, etc it will last you to 150,000 miles. MY dad took care of it and although I have a heavy foot I'm a little hard on the pedal but its kept up with me. It is reliable, I get about 35MPG. You must take care of it and it is not a race car. IF you take care of it, its as good as an import. I put 2 upgraded speakers in the back, may want to upgrade the deck. But all in all, its a reliable car.

Problems! by Minnesota on 11/13/2007. Trim: 2001 Saturn SL1, Owned 2 years.
Pros: Nice looking car, affordable and gets good gas mileage. Good for a first car.
Cons: Quite problematic - Service engine light almost always on. only a few months afer I got this car the coolant hose broke and coolant sprayed everywhere and my car began to overheat. Easy fix, but only a few months after that I was told that the first cylinder was misfiring. A couple months before i got rid of the car, the intake manafold gasket and fuel injector were broken and it would have been around $1000 to fix. Not worth the value of the car when I traded it in. Very slow acceleration and somewhat poor brakes. No ABS on the one I had and was horrible in the winter. I had a manual and the third gear seemed to slip out quite often.
Overall review: I have heard that this car is safe, but I didn't always feel very safe in it. Side panels are made of plastic which is helpful for dents but probably not crashes. Inside panels also never go back to the way they were if you put in a cd player. Although I did like the car, I don't see myself ever getting another saturn again.
