Eminent domain, veto session amendments on ballot Tuesday
By Jeb Inge
In addition to federal, state and local elections, Virginians on Tuesday also will decide two possible changes to the commonwealth's constitution.
Question one on the ballot concerns the definition of eminent domain.
Proposed by State Sen. Mark Obenshain (R-26) in the Senate, and Del. Rob Bell (R-Albemarle) in the House of Delegates, question one further defines eminent domain, and when land may or may not be taken by commonwealth or local governments. It stipulates that land owners get compensation at least equal to the value of the land in question.
Article 1, Section 11 of the Virginia Constitution prohibits the seizure or damaging of private property for public use without just compensation. Eminent domain is a term used to describe the power of the government to take private property for public use after receiving compensation or payment to the owner.
The proposed amendment contains the following:
-- The right to private property is a "fundamental" right.
-- The taking or damaging of private property must be for a "public use."
-- No more property may be taken or damaged than is necessary for the stated public use.
-- The entity condemning property has the burden of proof that the land being taken is for public use.
-- Just compensation for the taking of property is further defined to be "no less than the value of the property being taken, lost profits and lost access."
-- Elimination of a public nuisance may be a public use. It is not a public use if the "primary use is for private gain, private benefit, private enterprise, increasing jobs, increasing tax revenue, or economic development."
Obenshain, who is running for his party's nomination for state attorney general in 2013, calls the amendment "a bulwark against eminent domain abuse," and has found support from Republicans including current Attorney General and gubernatorial hopeful Ken Cuccinelli.
The Central Committee of the Democratic Party of Virginia voted to oppose the amendment, claiming it "will lock ... a prohibition on using eminent domain to advance private enterprise, job creation, tax revenue generation or economic development."
Question two on the ballot, if passed, would allow the General Assembly to delay by one week the fixed date for the annual Reconvened "Veto" Session usually held in April to address bills returned to the legislature by the governor.
The proposed amendment would allow the legislature the ability to avoid scheduling the veto session on a religious holiday such as Passover or Easter. It has not garnered the attention or controversy of the proposed eminent domain amendment.
More information on the proposed amendment, including the full text of both questions and amendments, is available at www.sbe.virginia.gov.

The one part of the eminent domain issue that sticks in my craw is the provision for any politically connected private enterprise (oh, say Popeyes Chicken) to use its influence to obtain a eminent domain condemnation of privately owned real estate to help it create a few minimum wage jobs to help sell more chicken. So, I am leaning towards voting to approve the change to the state constitution.
Do I understand this ballot question correctly?
The Post is saying vote no. TBH, I am still researching this myself as to the pros vs cons. But they do have more in depth information
It appears the hang up (*If I am even understanding this right) is that VA already passed a law that prevents seizure without payment to owner and if seized, it must be for public use.
So saying for example, WC decided for whatever reason to take the land Walmart sits on, under current law, they would pay Walmart the value of the land, but under the new amendment WC tax payers would be on the hook for Walmart's current and future lost profits as well.
So...I think I'm going no. Mind you this is only *my* understanding of what I have learned thus far.
From what I've read here and in the Washington Post, the problem is if eminent domain was used to take some property FROM some place like Popeye's Chicken (or any other business that could say they would lose future profits), we the taxpayers could end up footing a heafty payment to them. Once again taxing us to death. I'm voting no.
It is absurd to think that the government needs protection from the individual or small business that is being dispossessed of their property. As has been pointed out here, the big corporations already have the legal means to include "foregone profits" with their "damages" - it is only the individual & small business that need the presumption (and constitutional definition) that will add protection to the private property rights threatened by abuse of eminent domain. By the way, the people dispossessed in New London, CT saw their homes taken & torn down only to have the corporate beneficiary back out of the deal!! - i.e. no higher tax base, no new jobs, just the PUBLIC expense of demolishing a thriving neighborhood. Only a socialist could object to this amendment - yup, Wash Post & Dem Party!! (& I am NOT a Republican, i.e corporate facist)
Thanks to everyone for all the information and references.
I can understand my home being taken under eminent domain if I am amply rewarded, raising the question - who provides my compensation?
Eminent domain for the benefit of private enterprise seems to need more work to stop a greedy developer acting on insider information buying a property destined for construction of a major roadway knowing the rewards of eminent domain will provide a windfall profit. The potential for manipulation is mind-boggling.
Why should taxpayers compensate homeowners if the true benefit is primarily to enhance private enterprise earnings and only secondarily benefits the public interest in some non-monetary fashion such as eliminating blighted buildings or creating a postage stamp sized public park in the middle of a 5,000 home development?
Shouldn't the compensation for taking my home and my land be the burden of the private enterprise?
I was impressed by the Washington Posts view of the ballot initiative. I will vote "NO" to deny the amendment, as it is presently written, to the Virginia Constitution.
The amendment comes from Kehoe vs New London, CT where the Supreme Court found it a "public purpose" to dispossess people of their homes to transfer their properties to a corporation that would pay more taxes (or provide jobs, or whatever else Big Gov & Big Corp decides is in the "public" (read "their") interests). I urge EVERYONE (D, R, or I) to vote for this amendment to make it difficult & expensive for those who would take YOUR property for their own pursuits. One of the few things that Republicans suggest to protect FROM Gov & their corporate sponsors. Amazing that the Democrats (party of the "average" man?) do not feel that we are worthy of this protection!
shenvaltech can try to 'scare' with the word "socialist" all he wants, but here is an excellent link for anyone who wants to find out more about this eminent domaine question.
Just a few quotes from this link: "Virginia Lawmakers, in thrall to special interests, are asking voters to approve a state constitutional amendment that would cost state and local governments and taxpayers tens of millions of dollars annually in giveaways to private landowners and businesses. This staggering act of corporate welfare — as proposed in Question 1 on the ballot Virginia voters will cast Nov. 6 — would go far beyond current law in any other state. Virginians should vote no on Question 1.
They also say in this editorial:
And: "Conservatives such as Virginia's attorney general, Ken Cuccinelli II, have pushed Question 1, portraying it as a safeguard against government abuse. In fact, the existing law in Virginia, enacted just five years ago, already does that. If Question 1 is approved, the real losers would be taxpayers who would subsidize state-guaranteed profits, and local governments — read: more taxpayers — for whom the cost of projects like new roads and utilities would skyrocket."
And this: "It would even apply to those who are eager to sell or who might benefit from their inconvenience in the long run — for example, following the construction of a new road or transit station that temporarily impedes access to a business."
"Socialist-Socialism in America are simple words to scare tiny brains. It will never happen."
Katy - get your head out of the sand: It HAS happened here - both in the US & Shenandoah County
I suggest that you read Washington's farewell address where he warned against two things which could thwart true democracy: 1- foreign entanglements with those that do not support the principles our country is based on, and 2-political parties more interest in control & power than the welfare of the individual. Also read the writings of Thomas Jefferson with regard to economics.
To many of us, liberty is freedom FROM government - NOT the ability to force our will on others who do not share our views.
Eminent Domain makes every land owner upset--just the thought of government telling us they need our land. BUT THIS particular amendment we will vote on here in Virginia is not needed and would indeed cost taxpayers more! To quote: "business owners would be entitled to receive government payments equivalent to their most recent three years of profits."
We all agree that land owners should be paid FAIRLY for their land, but it should NOT then become over payment that WE the taxpayers will pay for! AND the last thing I want is for some developer, having knowledge that a road or whatever will be built, then buys that particular land and makes a better profit from Eminent Domain with my tax dollars than if he actually did something with the land!
Another quote from the editorial:
"In addition to making owners whole by paying them the market value of seized property, the state would also compensate them for "lost profit" and "lost access." In other words, the sky's the limit."
Somehow, shevaltech, sounds to me like you have "a horse in this race". You wouldn't happen to be that Front Royal lobbyist we are familar with for the times you have appeared on the pages of NV Daily?! Sure appears that way.
My family & I have had rights & property "taken" by government - the question is "who needs protection from who?" I will side with the individual every time!!
"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge - even to ourselves - that we've been so credulous." - Carl Sagan
No - I do not live in Front Royal but in the socialist republic of Shenandoah County (thus my distaste for BOTH parties).
I repeat: NO ONE likes to have their property taken but from what I have read, THIS particular amendment gives way more than what fair market value of the land would be.
In other words, as has been quoted, "state (read: WE THE TAXPAYERS) would also compensate them for "lost profit" and "lost access." In other words, the sky's the limit."
and I repeat - the large corporations already have the political and legal muscle to include these profits in the "damages" to which they are entitled.
When a small business is dispossessed, they lose MORE than the value of the land - they lose the value of their business! This is not something that will be manipulated for the benefit of the "big boys" as the Post characterizes, but for the protection of the little guy who is being placed between the rock & the hard place by a government unconcerned of his welfare.
The constitutional amendment is necessary to stop a legislative "bait & switch" that can easily be accomplished with the close majority that continues to exist. The specter of large corporations taking advantage of this is smoke & mirrors to deny the individual & small business this needed protection!
Example - you own a farm market that is on an I-81 interchange. The state decides to lengthen it's right-of-way by 20 feet which will eliminate access to the remainder of your property and your existing market. Should the government be required to pay only for the "market value" of the 20 feet it takes or for the full damage done to the thriving business - your sole means of support?
This amendment requires the government to take the full effect on the business or individual into consideration, not just the value of the land taken.
BTW, this scenario did come into being several years ago and cost some businesses adjoining 81 major legal fees to get the VDOT determination changed.
Song98, I don't understand why you think "the sky's the limit". If a property would be too expensive for public use because of the existing business that is there then the government would need to choose a different property. Also, I don't think a speculator can purchase the property and then claim lost profits. Lost profits on what? There has to be a something that is generating profits. Yes, they could make money if the value of the land increased but that is all. I think shenvaltech is correct. This is trying to protect the small business. For example it could be land that a county wants for a school but a family runs some kind of farm, apple orchard, saw mill, etc. The value is more than just the land. They would need money to relocate their business and start up again.
Thank you, debtfree.
No, song, I am retired & have no "horse in this race", just 45 acres of land that have been stripped of development rights in Shenandoah County which will force me to sell and relocate to recover my retirement cash. While my situation would not be helped by this amendment, I am well aware of the detrimental effects of actions by an uncaring government and feel the necessary protection from arbitrary government action included in this amendment is important!
It still comes down to this question that WE THE TAXPAYERS must ask: Do we want our tax money to pay fair market price for property taken under Eminent Domain for say, a road, OR, with this amendment, do we want to pay fair market price PLUS PLUS!
I again quote the Washington Post "-------- would cost state and local governments and TAXPAYERS tens of millions of dollars annually in giveaways to private landowners and businesses. This staggering act of CORPORATE WELFARE — as proposed in Question 1 on the ballot Virginia voters will cast Nov. 6 - would go far beyond current law in any other state. Virginians should vote no on Question 1."
uh huh------I still say from reading your posts that you, 'shenvaltech', appear to have a "horse in this race". I 'just' speak as a TAXPAYER.
"giveaways to private landowners and businesses. This staggering act of CORPORATE WELFARE"
Wasn't that long ago, was it, that we Virginias were quite upset to read in the July 8, 2009 Washington Post article, "Virginia's major roadways will become a less hospitable place in two weeks when the cash-strapped state closes 18 rest stops". Do we now have an over-abundance of money here in Virginia? You know the answer to that!
Now, you and shenvaltech can bat this topic back and forth all you want, I am leaving to go and vote!
In my view the amendment adds protection to the constitutional right to own property, and I would vote for the amendment.
No, Charles, just the opposite - "not where the primary use is for private gain, private benefit, private enterprise, increasing jobs, increasing tax revenue, or economic development". This eliminates these as "public use" reasons for eminent domain and would not permit the New London debacle to occur in Virginia!
A developer buys land acting on insider knowledge of a future bypass roadway.
Question: Did the developer reap an eminent domain windfall (3 years of land lease income) without improving the property (utilities) or erecting any bricks and mortar?
If someone as dumb as me can figure out a way to game the proposed constitutional amendment for eminent domain imagine what some shyster lawyer can concoct.
"insider knowledge" - illegal;
Frankly, the cost of improvements described would exceed the amount of "damages" claimed. You have not figured out how to "game" the system with this absurd example.
Interesting that you would mention that, song. That debacle was Governor Tim Kaine's revenge for not passing his requested increase in the gas tax!! It saved NO money - actually COST TAXPAYER DOLLARS by recreating and replacing signage. Frankly, I felt it caused several deaths shortly thereafter due to overtired truckers and (together with Kaine's moonlighting in his "second" job as DNC head while governor) is one reason I will NEVER vote for this man for public office again!
I counter by suggesting they just haven't been caught, yet.
One only has to look at Loundon County to see recent examples of their Republican 'good old boys" skillfully manipulating the system by using their positions in government to enhance personal profit.

Laws like this amendment do not create such corruption, but tend to protect the little guy from it. 4ur411 makes this point with a good example.
Take a short drive down Interstate-81 and you will come upon what used to be a nice small town. Maybe not as some see 'small town' but a nice town to grow up in, raise children and know many of the people making decisions impacting the area. That was then.

Years before Climategate, THAT email, from Phil Jones to Warwick Hughes told us everything we needed to know about the scientific standards at the Climate Research Unit of East Anglia. THAT email was the tip of the iceberg, and below is what lay underneath the surface — the things that were said behind the scenes at the time. Geoff Sherrington has pieced together a sequence of climategate emails, his own emails, and parts of Warwick Hughes work to recreate the sequence.
And for the true skeptic-aficionados, here's a new layer of history to the skeptical chronology. Where did this volunteer audit movement begin?
Who would have guessed that at least one skeptic, Hughes, was asking for the data Phil Jones worked with, as long ago as 1991? (That was way back in the days where people worked with hard copy print outs, and drew graphs by hand!) Does Hughes rank as volunteer Skeptic Number 1?
UPDATE: I asked Warwick, and he thinks the first unpaid skeptic was Fred Wood in 1988*. — Jo

This is the longer story behind one of the more anti-science quotes in the short history of people attempting to be 'climate scientists', definition unclear. The pivotal short quote is in the opening email.

January 8, 1998
The award recognizes exemplary service to the council in promoting and advocating minority business in the St. Louis region, and dedicated service and leadership to the board of directors.
"There is no person in St. Louis business who is more concerned about including small and minority business owners in major projects than Frank," said Mitchell P. Baden, chairman of the St. Louis Minority Business Council board of directors. "He works tirelessly on behalf of Schnucks to make sure there is a good number of minority businesses included in all projects Schnucks is involved in."
"There is no finer person I know. When he says he is going to do something, he does it. I was thrilled to present the award. There is nobody more deserving."
Roeder has served on the board of directors of the St. Louis Minority Business Council since 1993. He received the award at the 1997 Excellence Awards Program held Dec. 10 at the Marriott Pavilion. This is the first time the award recognized an individual. Previous winners of the award were Civic Progress in 1995 and Union Electric in 1996. In addition to his work for Schnucks, Roeder was instrumental in recruiting new board members when the council re-organized in 1994. He also led a committee responsible for developing a personnel policy and manual for council employees.
"I was totally shocked to receive the award," said Roeder. "I am very proud of it. I really enjoy my work with the organization. The St. Louis Minority Business Council definitely makes a difference for minority businesses in St. Louis. There are so many more opportunities for minority businesses because of the council's work. More St. Louis corporations are talking to minority businesses because of them." "We are very pleased that Frank has been recognized for his efforts in promoting minority business development," said Craig D. Schnuck, chairman and chief executive officer of Schnuck Markets, Inc. "Schnucks actively supports the work of the St. Louis Minority Business Council and believes the dialogue and relationships the council promotes minority business and therefore invigorates the economic health of the St. Louis region."
The St. Louis Minority Business Council, a not-for-profit organization, was founded in 1973. The organization links corporations with minority businesses with the goal of creating a business climate in which purchasing from minority firms becomes a normal corporate practice, thereby increasing business opportunities for minority entrepreneurs as well as enhancing the economy of the region.
Schnuck Markets, Inc. currently operates stores in Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. The family-owned company was founded in St. Louis in 1939.

Family of slain border agent files $25M claim
Thursday - 2/2/2012, 12:23am EST
PHOENIX (AP) - The family of a slain U.S. Border Patrol agent filed a $25 million wrongful death claim against the federal government on Wednesday.
The 65-page document that's a precursor to a lawsuit was filed in Phoenix and claims Brian Terry was killed because U.S. investigators allowed murder weapons into the hands of criminals, The Arizona Republic ( http://bit.ly/zdkwMD) reported.
Terry died Dec. 14, 2010, when his special-operations unit got into a shootout with border bandits in a remote canyon area in southern Arizona near Rio Rico.
Investigators found two AK-47s at the scene that were traced back to a gun-smuggling probe by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Congressional investigations and Department of Justice records have since revealed that ATF agents allowed as many as 1,400 guns to be transported into Mexico and the AK-47s were purchased by a known firearms trafficker.
The so-called "gun-walking" strategy used in Operation Fast and Furious remains the subject of inquiries by Congress and the Department of Justice's inspector general.
Terry's family claims federal agents were negligent and acted "in violation of ATF's own policies and procedures."
The claim was filed on behalf of Terry's parents as well as surviving siblings. In it, family members criticize federal authorities for attempting to cover up the flawed strategy in Fast and Furious and its connection with Terry's death.
It also said that family members met last March with former U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke, who resigned amid the scandal. The claim alleges he incorrectly said that guns found at the scene were from a store in Texas and that the fatal bullet would never be found even though it was recovered during an autopsy.
An after-hours telephone message seeking comment from the U.S. attorney's office in Phoenix wasn't immediately returned Wednesday night.

Americans Prefer Watered Down Beer
Anheuser-Busch (Budweiser), Miller, and Coors lead the way in beer. Albeit, this is shipment data, not sales data, so take the numbers with a grain of salt.
The extreme dominance of the top three American beers was somewhat surprising to me, because I never see people order any of those three at restaurants. However, I gave it a few more seconds of thought. I'm thinking parties, sporting events, and drunken nights. The American beers go down easier (because they're like water), so it's easier to get drunk. To get drunk, people drink more. So I guess the watery dominance isn't that surprising. I guess when people buy beer for taste at restaurants, they look to different brands.
Anyhow, I'm really starting to become a fan of these bubble charts. They're really easy to read and can quickly spruce up a hard-to-read table of numbers. They also seem to scale decently. By well, I don't mean in like the thousands, but in the tens, I think the bubbles can hold their own.
What kind of beer do you prefer?
2 Comments
Not too sure if I like the bubble charts. The problem with that one is that if you just glance at the top two bubbles, it looks the the top one is about twice as large as the second one. When in fact the number is three times as large (about). I think humans have a problem comparing the relative sizes of areas versus the length of lines – I read that somewhere, where escapes me atm.

Bellavance Honors Program
Honors House
By Richard England
We've got articles on thesis and junior research projects, a
report from the thesis symposium, reflections on poetic thought in
Tim Dowd's interview with Nancy Mitchell, and picks for provoking
summer reading from yours truly. Even the lighter fare makes us
think about thought: baffling brain teasers for eight year old
Armenians, and blindingly daft (and humorous) instructions.
One might think that the social reports don't fit the theme, but
even they are designed to promote the growth of an Honors community
in which ideas can be grown and shared. After all, the noise and
pleasures of parties and outings are superficial if they don't help
forge friendships which will help us travel beyond our current
selves and mental walls. "Think Salisbury!" is more than a
University marketing motto; it implies the importance of a society
of learners.
When I was an undergraduate, I would end my "to do" lists with
the self-admonition "Think!". As such lists get longer, it becomes
easy to drop that one extra imperative and to simply "do." I hope
that this issue of the Saunterer will spark a little thought
about how rewarding thinking and learning can be. In her
retrospective essay, graduating senior Melyssa Malinowski emphasizes
that college is a place to "enjoy." In the midst of end of
term busy-ness both students and faculty can forget that. But in
summer one can remember, reflect, dream, perceive things again with
a renewed clarity. Welcome to the latest Honors newsletter. And
while you're at it - "Think!"

Delirious Doctors, Delicious Desserts, and a Digital Camera:
The HSA takes a trip
to see Jekyll and Hyde
By Becki Lee
On April 13th, the Englands escorted eight other
students and myself to the Three Little Bakers Theatre and Country
Club to see a showing of Jekyll and Hyde. Having never been
on an HSA trip before, I wasn't quite sure what to expect.
We piled into three cars and began the trek up to Wilmington. And
only two cars got lost! Hooray! Best of all, I got to play
with the digital camera on the trip, which kept me giddy with
preoccupation. Two and a half hours (and many pictures) later, we
all met up again at the Three Little Bakers Theater and Country
Club. Dinner was already waiting, which was good because we realized
that the pre-show didn't start until 7 p.m., and the play itself
didn't start until 8 p.m.. We elected to stuff our collective faces
during the two hours before the pre-show.
And stuff we did! The food was fantastic. Maybe I'm just used to
the "gourmet food" at the Commons, but the Three Little Bakers
definitely knew how to please our palates. The crowning point,
however, was the dessert tables – they were debatably the best part
of the night, next to catching the Englands dancing to the "Electric
Slide." (Well, alright, they weren't actually dancing to the
"Electric Slide," but they happened to be onstage during it.)
I've never seen so many delicious treats in such close proximity!
Chocolate cheesecake, Heath bar cream pie, chocolate truffles,
peanut butter pie…you name it, they had it, and they wanted you to
take it off their hands. In fact, they informed us that there was a
two dessert minimum. The HSA gained about five pounds per
member that night.
As if all the food wasn't enough, Nick of the Three Little Bakers
decided to entertain us before the show. We determined that (1)
Acrobats are nifty, (2) God bless the USA, and (3)
Nick is a dirty old man. Thankfully, the show started before we were
subjected to much more of Nick's depressing babble.
The show itself was quite impressive. While the orchestra had
been pre-recorded, the actors and singers performed beautifully. The
scene changes were fascinating because some were done while
the show was being performed. It was interesting to watch how they
worked with the set, because it was a rather awkward setup. The set
was very small and at the very back of the stage, and the rest of
the stage was prop-free for dancing and acting. Regardless, the show
was a delight. All of the actors were wonderful, but Dale Martin Jr.
in particular, the man who played Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, was
High points of the show: a soulful duet between Lucy and
Emma; the transformation of Jekyll to Hyde; the "Electric Slide"
during the intermission; and the climax of the show, Martin singing
a duet with himself as Jekyll and Hyde. (Low points: the lack
of an orchestra, and Nick asking to dance with another woman seven
inches taller than him.)
All in all, it was quite the excursion – the only thing missing
was Wrinkles. (And a photo of the Englands dancing.) My first outing
with the HSA was a blast – and I have the pictures to prove it!
Dessert number three? Let's do it!

From Junior Research Project...
By Mickey Burke
Like all of Dr. Whall's guinea pigs, I registered for my junior
research project without any idea what I was getting into. I had
also signed up for an independent study research project with Dr.
Stewart, and I was not sure how I would have to adjust one class for
the other.
I took an independent study to learn about historical approaches
to mythology. It may sound boring, but I was curious to see how many
ways the same thing can be interpreted—and Dr. Stewart once told me
my technique was a hundred years behind the times. One of the
objectives that I set for my independent study was to write a paper
for a conference.
Since I was already working with a professor and creating a paper
to be presented at a conference, Dr. Whall didn't have much to do.
He was available to help if things got rough between Dr. Stewart and
me, or if the subject became too daunting or boring. Fortunately
everything went smoothly, so I never had to take advantage of Dr.
Whall's wisdom.
Overall the most difficult part of the project was trying to keep
my paper within a reasonable length to present. I could have easily
written 20 pages from the material, but instead I wrote 12. Before
reading it, I had to shrink it into a six-page presentation.
Aside from the time limit, the presentation itself was painless.
After much practice, I read my shortened paper and answered a few
questions about why I chose the subject and what my reactions to it
were. I only wish that I could have spoken for longer or answered
more questions, and that I could have presented the paper at a
conference on mythology.
After this one credit class, I was left with a two-inch binder of
research, several drafts of my paper, a teacher that I know and work
well with, and perhaps the confidence to begin my thesis.
...to Thesis
If you are one of the those who has repressed the fact that this
project looms in your very near future, then I am here to calm your
trepidation. Although daunting, the Honors thesis is a very
rewarding process. Start thinking now about interesting debates and
topics within your field of study. If there is any one thing that
might streamline the thesis project, it is choosing a topic that you
find compelling. Once you have found this topic, the research is
exhilarating and enriching. In essence you are creating a question
for yourself and then working to articulate the best answer
possible. Thus the project serves as a test of your ability to
process large amounts of information, an introduction to the
processes of the academic world, and a chance to work closely with
your professors on topics that especially interest you.
Perhaps the most intimidating element of the thesis is its length
requirement. Certainly it is the largest assignment you might face
as an undergraduate. However, because of its scale, it represents a
serious academic achievement and a milestone in your college career.
I have spoken with alumni who have chosen to complete the Honors
program by doing a thesis and those who have not. Those who have
remember it with pride and a sense of accomplishment. Those who have
not regret missing the opportunity to test their ability and expand
their knowledge. So look forward to your thesis as a rigorous and
demanding project that will be the culminating achievement of your
undergraduate career.

My first bit of remorse came during a post NCHC conference
meeting with the HSA. We were talking about all of the incredible
things that we learned and all of the plans we had for the program.
As I sat there listening to my colleagues, a group of enthusiastic
sophomores with much college ahead of them, I realized that I would
not be around to help implement these fantastic ideas.
My second pang arose when I thought about The Saunterer. I
have at least written an article for this newsletter ever since I
came to college and I've had the privilege of being the student
editor. In leaving college that is something I'll also have to leave
behind. I would like to think that I've been beneficial to the
newsletter (though I doubt the people who I've hounded about
deadlines would agree): I'll certainly miss it.
In coming to college I had no idea what to expect. I knew that I
wanted to be a chemistry teacher; I knew that I wanted to be a part
of things. Well I've accomplished both of those goals. In retrospect
I can say that without a doubt the organization that I found to be
most beneficial is the Thomas E. Bellavance Honors Program. From
here I've found some of my closest friends. And remarkably, I've
seen the Honors Student Association come from nothing but three or
four people to a group of students willing to put some work into
creating an Honors community. On some small scale I'd like to think
of myself as a part of that.
The only sage advice I have for my fellow students is to find
something there that you want to put your energy into and enjoy
being in college, so you leave with no regrets. But the most
important thing is to enjoy; it's the greatest time of your

Does your brain hurt yet? The moral of the story. Teach your
child Armenian and order this book Logical Puzzles (Macmillan
Armenia, 2000) today!
By Tim Dowd
-When did you first start writing?
-When did you first start writing?
I can't really remember precisely, but it was very early on that
I started writing stories...I was a child with an inflamed
imagination and writing was just one of the less overt outlets for
it and got me into the least trouble. I started writing poetry much
later in my life.
-What is it about your personality that you think makes you a
good writer?
-What is it about your personality that you think makes you a
good writer?
I hope I'm a good writer, but I'm afraid I have to leave that
qualification up to time and my peers. I think what I can answer is
what it is about my personality that enables me to have a writing
life. Well, I don't mind spending long stretches of time in
solitude. In fact, I often undergo what Jung calls a "willed
introversion" in which I isolate myself for definite periods of time
to think and write. I also am fascinated with the way that the mind
along with the subconscious tries to make sense out of our emotional
life through imagery. I'm also very sensitive to the music, the
sound and rhythm in daily life: an overheard conversation,
background of trains, traffic, weather, etc., and how they inform
the moment.
-Why do you teach while writing, as opposed to having some
other job to support your "writing habit?"
-Why do you teach while writing, as opposed to having some
other job to support your "writing habit?"
The longer I teach, the more I learn about writing, and I also
find that I learn so much from my students which informs my writing.
One of the biggest thrills for me in teaching creative writing is to
have the opportunity to witness students get what it means to "show"
through imagery sound and rhythm, etc., to reveal character through
a character's action, what he says, thinks, etc. rather than "tell"
with abstractions or editorializing.
What's really great when that happens is that the writer has started
to look to the world around him/her for authentic examples, and it
signals more engagement with the world than before. It's a big
moment for a beginning writer and I'm happy when I'm present for it.
I am equally thrilled when students understand the connection
between what I'm teaching and how it informs and enriches their own
-Do you feel more confident as a writer, now that a book of
your work has been published?
-Do you feel more confident as a writer, now that a book of
your work has been published?
It's very validating, of course, for a press to think well enough of
your work to invest time and money to publish it, but I'm not sure
if that makes a writer more confident. I try to trust my instincts
and feel confident when I do and that trust is rewarded in work that
is clear and moves the reader emotionally, intellectually and
aesthetically. But you know, my poems are not going to be
everyone's cup of tea, but it is my hope to write poems which bring
readers some pleasure.
-Regarding the "Self" class that you teach for the Honors
Program, how do the concepts involving the self intertwine with
your writing?

Wow...how much time do we have?...you should take the class!
Writing is just one of the means by which we can become most fully
present in the moment, and I think it is in these moments that we
get closer to knowing ourselves, the self. But someone can have a
very fully present experience pumping gas! I guess writing has
become for me a somewhat reliable way I can have those fully present

When I mentioned her title as social director, she laughed,
"Which means I get to run around like a chicken with my head cut
off." That is not to say that she is not organized, but to suggest
that there is much to do. "There is a lot of behind the scene stuff,
making flyers, picking movies, making sure we have a sign in sheet.
. ." etc.
With so much to juggle, things occasionally fall through the
cracks. She admitted that on Kubrick Night she forgot to pick up the
movies until just before the Movie Night began. "No one saw me
running frantically through the movie store looking for A
Clockwork Orange" only to find it was unavailable. Despite this
difficulty the show went on. "I had two movies, just not the two
that were on the flyer." Even though A Clockwork Orange
was not at the movie store, Jenny Good went home for a copy. This is
just the helpful atmosphere that Linda likes about Movie Nights.
"It's like watching a movie with friends, people you don't see
except then."
This close knit atmosphere is at the heart of HSA's activities.
"We are trying to build an Honors community through our social
events." Whether it is dinner theater in Delaware or a Christmas
party in the Honors House, the HSA tries to organize fun activities
that bring people together outside of the classroom.
Some functions like the Open Mic Nights and the Mind Shrapnel
colloquies draw folks from across the campus, while others seem to
attract students from the Honors program. All Honors events are open
to the campus community. No matter which it is, Linda is sure to be
there. Even when she doesn't host it, she is "there 15 minutes
before the event making sure the house is open and things are
There are still a few activities coming up this semester, but
Linda is already looking forward to next year. There will be the New

dinner theater in Delaware, an Ice Cream Social, and perhaps a

Unexpected Light
Jason Elliot
The Cassini Division
Ken McLeod
Afghanistan remains in the news, tempting unwary readers into books
recently penned by journalists. While these try to explain the
tangled politics and recent history of that unhappy land, one gets
too baffled by acronyms and dull prose to actually come away with
much. A luminous exception to this rule is Jason Elliot's An
Unexpected Light (Picador, 2001) which describes two journeys
the author made to Afghanistan in 1979 and the early 1990s. His
reflections on the culture, politics and history of Afghanistan are
beautifully crafted into a book which allows the reader to
sympathize with a wild and alien land. He describes people who have
never known peace, who are marked and menaced by the constant threat
of land mines, and yet show incredible hospitality to strangers. His
imaginative flights through millennia of Afghan history are enriched
by his accounts of fantastic and rocket scarred ruins. He writes of
the rise of the Taliban, and tells of Mujaheddin commanders dueling
with tanks in a village square over the affections of a homosexual
lover. An astounding and excellent read that compares favorably with
such travel greats as Eric Newby and Wilfred Thesiger.
Bernard Lewis's What Went Wrong? (Oxford, 2001) offers a
more scholarly, historical approach to the relations between Islam
and the West In a few lucid chapters Lewis lays out the history of
the encounter between European and Islamic cultures from the 16th to
the 20th centuries, and claims that as the despised Franks
outstripped the heirs to the Ottoman empire, Islamic scholars and
leaders sought to understand why they had fallen behind. I can't
help feeling that in simplifying history for a popular audience
Lewis may have made his argument too stark, but this intellectual
and social history of the Near East is apparently the product of a
very knowledgeable and clear thinking scholar. This is a good brief
introduction to a troubled and immediately relevant problem.
On the domestic front, you might try Daniel Lazare's The Velvet
Coup (Verso, 2001). There must be something wrong with America's
electoral system if it takes the acerbic diatribe of an angry
communist to make me understand it. While Lazare comments on the
infamous Gore-Bush election debacle, his larger concerns are the
existence of the Electoral College, and the deleterious effect of
the balance of powers in American government. You may disagree with
his thesis, but his book is a great read, and offers some sharp
insights into the American political system. Best of all, it makes
me feel like dusting off my old Billy Bragg albums.
The last non-fiction book I'll mention here is Eric Schlosser's
Fast Food Nation (Houghton Mifflin, 2001). Blending cultural
history with investigative journalism, Schlosser takes us from the
first McDonald's, through the landscape of franchises, flavors,
slaughterhouses, and consumers of fast food. He describes how market
analysts use Cold War satellite technology to place restaurants, how
lab-coated flavorists tantalize our nostrils with food perfumes, how
workers are exploited, and (horror of horrors) what you are actually
eating. I found myself getting very interested in tofu by the end of
this book. If any of you can read this book cover to cover over a
McDinner somewhere, I'll buy you a burger. Disconcerting, disgusting
and highly recommended reading.
On a lighter note I'd like to recommend two fiction titles. The
first is David Mitchell's clever debut novel, Ghostwritten
(Vintage paperback, 2001), which plays with the reader's mind beyond
the title in a set of nine linked but distinct tales. By gradually
revealing the relationships between characters and plots, Mitchell
unwinds a web of meditations on love, science, ghosts, politics and
crime. The story leaps from Japan through Mongolia to St. Petersburg
to a remote Scottish Island, but. Mitchell is doing more than
showing off. The book proves animpressive first novel.
Lastly, for the science fiction buffs, I'd suggest the novels of
Ken MacLeod. His first trilogy, The Star Fraction, The
Stone Canal, and The Cassini Division, is now out in
paperback in the U.S. (Tor, 2001). McLeod writes of a near future in
which artificial intelligences, governments and an anarchic cast of
characters battle their way through ideological differences and
subtle plots. A friend of fellow Scot Iain M. Banks, McLeod shares
that writer's taste for politically charged science fiction, but
better realizes the complexity of a libertarian post-modern
socialism. The prose is readable if not exciting, but the stories
are weird and highly entertaining.
Please feel free to communicate your recommendations to me, and do
have a happy, page-turning summer!
On a Sear's hairdryer: "Do not use while sleeping." (damn, and
that's the only time I have to work on my hair)

(but wouldn't this save me more time?)
On Boot's Children Cough Medicine: "Do not drive a car or operate
machinery after taking this medication." (We could do a lot to
reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those
5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)
On Nytol Sleep Aid: Warning: "May cause drowsiness." (and I'm
taking this because?)
On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use
only." (as opposed to what?)
On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be used for the other use."
(now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)
On Sainsbury's peanuts: " Warning: contains nuts." (talk about a
news flash)
On an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet,
eat nuts." (step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)
On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your
hands or genitals."
(Was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

By Dr. Whall
JOANN (MCCARTNEY) WOOD (1991) dropped by the office in
late October with her husband, David Wood and their gorgeous little
son. Needless to say I got that "Grandfather rush." They were here
to witness all the many wonderful, amazing changes that have taken
place at SU--a great reason for all of you to come for a visit.
Joann is an attorney in Leonardstown, Maryland.
I gave a presentation about the Honors Program to the Alumni
Association's Board of Directors in February and was so pleased to
discover two alumni of the Honors Program present and serving the
University as members of that Board: ERIC MCLAUCHLIN (1992)
JIM HUDSON (1994). Jim is director of corporate
support at Delmarva Online where his job is to oversee technical
support and customer retention of business clients. Eric is
an attorney with Gessner, Snee, Mahoney & Lutche in Bel Air,
In mid-April, at the annual Philosophical Symposium (this year's
topic: the religion of Islam), I had a chance to spend time with
KATIE KIRBY (1999) and ELIZABETH GRANT (1996) who
traveled to
In February I had lunch with BECCA BROOKS (1998) who works
for the University as principal archivist at the Nabb Research
Center for Delmarva History and Culture. She promised that there
would be a "mystery guest" dining with us, and, imagine my surprise
when we were joined by ELVIS PRESLEY! I'm just kidding. I was
checking to see if you were paying attention. No, it wasn't The
King; it was KATIE GEORGE (1997). During our modest but tasty
repast at Vinnie's La Roma, Katie told us about her adventures in
Atlanta, from which city she has recently moved. As many of you will
recall, Katie received an M.A. in puppetry from the University of
Connecticut (how many of us can make that claim!?) and she has
recently been given a grant by the Howard County library system to
create children's shows for the libraries to bring stories alive
with her puppet and acting arts.
Two weeks ago I was again surprised in my oak-lined lair, this
time by KAREN ARCHAMBAULT-CRIM (1996). After leaving SU Karen
studied for and received her M.A. in history at Old Dominion
University. While studying for her degree she worked at Trinity
College in admissions and as an academic counselor for UMBC Online.
These experiences have led to her pursuit of a second master's
degree in academic counseling focusing on student development in
higher education. Also while studying at ODU she met and married her
husband, Brian Crim, who has recently completed his Ph.D.
dissertation in modern German history at Rutgers. While at ODU,
Karen's SU Honors thesis won second prize in a paper competition
sponsored by Virginia's Phi Alpha Theta chapter and the ODU
Historical Review. First place went to a classmate named Brian
Crim. . . .
And this past weekend, while slogging away at the grading trade,
I was set upon by a quartet of recent Honors alums, KATIE PROFILI
(2001), RAY HEER (2001), JULIA KNUDSON (2001), and Julia's
fiancé, SCOTT SOUTHERN (2000) who roared into town to enjoy
Salisbury Festival, Sun Fest at the beach, and to see the Sophanes
production of Steve Martin's play, Picasso at the Lapin Agile.
All four had been involved in theater while studying at SU. Katie
is teaching language arts to 150 sixth graders at Perry Hall
Middle School and devoting her nights and weekends to grading their
written masterpieces. Ray is teaching language arts and math
to fifth graders at Four Seasons Elementary School in Gambrill and,
according to a few of his anecdotes, learning all sorts of neat new
things about discipline and intimidation. Julia is a public
relations associate with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, sending
out all those announcements and press releases to entice music
lovers to the majestic Meyerhoff Symphony Hall. She and Scott are
house-hunting, and planning their nuptials for early next May.
Finally, I haven't heard from him in a while, and he hasn't
dropped by in a long, long time, but I have read about LEN
FOXWELL (1992) in the Washington Post. It was announced
last week that Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, the current lieutenant
governor of Maryland, will run for governor to succeed Paris
Glendenning, and that Len will serve as her campaign press
secretary. I'm just hoping that all those writing and speaking
skills he learned in Honors classes haven't been forgotten over the
past ten years. . . .
Throughout my job search, I have substitute taught. I have had
the chance to experience the range of elementary through high
school. Subbing has been a good experience for me. There was a time
that I pondered teaching at the high school level. Of the classes
that I have taught, I most enjoyed fourth and fifth grades. For
them, everything is interesting, new, and fun. I still flirt with
the idea of teaching at the college level, but for now I eagerly
anticipate the experiences that banking affords.
In many aspects I miss Salisbury, in many ways I am ready to move
on. I am confident that the skills I have learned while at SU have
prepared me for this new role.
TERESA PIEKARSKI (2001) Well, my grad school search is over and
the final decision.... gulp, has been made. After carefully
considering the programs and other factors (like money!), I have
decided to attend Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. It was one
of the two schools that gave me an early indication of financial
aid, and since money is a huge consideration right now, I decided I
would be a fool to pass up a free master's. At Virginia Tech, the
program seems pretty solid, touching on many different aspects of
higher education. I love the town of Blacksburg...some small town
action surrounded by beautiful mountains to explore and places to
hike and camp. Also, they offered me an interesting graduate
assistantship with the University's Center for Academic Excellence.
Basically, I will learn to administer reading tests to undergrad
students, score and interpret them, and then help the students
improve their reading ability, comprehension, etc. Not a bad gig for
an old English major! With the assistantship comes a tuition waiver
and a $10,000 stipend each year.
LISA HELM (1997) So, I got into medical school! I'll be starting
on August 12th, up in Philly at PCOM. I'm a bit overwhelmed with all
that this entails. I've decided to buy rather than rent due to the
ridiculous cost of renting in the area. Why drop $800+ a month on
rent when I could sink it into a mortgage and build a little equity?
So that means getting approved for a loan and finding a good school
district for Colin in a nice, reasonably-priced area, finding a
preschool/daycare since he'll have only just turned four when I
start, finding a church, a grocery store, my way around,
scholarships and grants, etc. So much to do! Other than that,
there's not much going on!
SHANNA SIZEMORE (2001) I've forgotten about things like
"breaks." Well, I'm not really doing anything directly in biology
now. I work for engineers doing lots of different things. Most of my
work is in GIS, which, in its simplest form, is mapping on the
computer. The program also allows for some pretty deep analysis. Our
office is trying to become totally digital (which frightens me
terribly, given the reliability of computer networks and their
vulnerability to worms and viruses) and we're getting stuff off
paper and onto the computer. I've also done a little bit of
surveying (think of guys in the middle of the road with orange vests
and the weird looking instruments). I'm hoping to go to Hopkins for
their Environmental Engineering Master's Program after I take
differential calculus next semester. The master's would incorporate
both biology and engineering, which seems to be a good fit for me.
SUMMER BLAIS (1997) Thanks for the note in the Saunterer.
I always like it when you dash off a personal greeting, despite the
feelings of guilt for not writing to you that accompany it. I am
doing well. I will go ahead and give you an update with the hopes
you won't print it in the Saunterer. (Please forgive me,
I got married last June to a guy named Mike. I've been dating him
since my last year of college and you may have even met him on the
Honor's cruise. You'd like him- he had a mohawk in high school. The
wedding was pretty - out in a park, and the reception was in a
garden atrium. We wrote the ceremony ourselves based on Native
American ceremonies, and it included a hand-fasting. Agnes (Patkowski,
1997) was a bridesmaid, much to her delight. We took an amazing
honeymoon in Costa Rica. It was one of the most beautiful places I
have ever been. Back in 1998 we bought a house in Reston, Virginia,
and we live there still with two fat cats.
I have been working at AOL since January of 2000, one week before
the Time-Warner merger. I am a graphic artist in the creative design
group. I find this highly ironic. It would have been my first choice
to have majored in art in college but upon parental advice (and
funding) was told to major in something practical, or else. Now,
making a pretty good living doing art, I feel like I've come home. I
don't know how to explain it but I am so much happier. However, I
can't lose the lingering feeling that had I actually majored in art
in college, I would be flipping burgers now, just like my mom
MICHELLE BULGER (1995) I'm still happily employed at Franklin
Pierce College in New Hampshire, halfway through my third year.
Student activities is an ever-changing adventure that keeps me on my
toes (my director calls it "managing chaos"). The students I work
with are pretty energetic and motivated. They generally do a good
job of getting things done. I have to be the bad guy occasionally,
but not that often.
I'm also starting my third season as the assistant coach for the
women's lacrosse team, which brings me in contact with an entirely
different group of students than those I normally work with. The
girls are great, but mostly brand new to the sport. Fortunately,
they're willing to learn and have really come together as a team. It
was also suggested that I could teach a science lab or two this
semester (the Natural Sciences Dept. was a little short on
instructors), but spring is way too busy for me to take on something
else! Hmmm, maybe next semester! :)
I really enjoy living in New Hampshire. Last fall I climbed Mt.
Monadnock three times (it's the most-climbed mountain in the world
that doesn't have an auto-route to the top), once with the college
and twice with visiting friends. It definitely gave me a feeling of
having done something those days! I'm somewhat enjoying the mild
winter this year (as opposed to last year's never-ending one), but
it makes me wonder if Mother Nature has something more in store for
I still keep in touch with a number of people from SSU (I agree
with Doug Zwiselsberger...I endured too many Salisbury Steak jokes
to give up the "State" now!). A few of us are keeping our Algonquin
tradition alive by heading to Canada for an annual canoe trip
(dubbed the "Big Kids Trip"). Word has it that there may be an
Algonquin reunion in honor of the program's 20th year during
Homecoming next fall. Hopefully, it won't be some equally crazy
weekend here, so that I can make it down for a visit. Some friends
were down there for the Sea Gull Century, and I'm really curious to
see all the changes on campus that they were talking about.
JENNIFER MARINER (1995) I wanted to let you know that I finally
defended my dissertation in October and I am officially Jennifer
Mariner, Ph.D. Writing the actual dissertation and defending it was
really not as stressful as I imagined. In fact, I enjoyed the
experience. There were days when I felt I would die from lack of
sleep, but other than that, it was fine.
I have another piece of good news. I am getting married in April.
His name is George Kilbourne and we have known each other for over
10 years. We started seriously dating two years ago and we got
engaged last February. I am very excited and I have never been
happier. He is really a great guy.
I have also been thinking a lot about Salisbury lately. The
Biology Department has an opening for an assistant professor in
molecular biology. I know that these positions are tough to get, but
I sent in my application to Dr. Holland and I have my fingers
crossed. I also applied for positions in other small universities.
If nothing pans out this time, I'll get a postdoctoral position in a
lab and try again next year. I have been teaching at George
Washington for three semesters and I really enjoy it. I think this
is truly where my talents lie. Anyway, wish me luck.
JENNIFER (GAAB) FREY (1995) We have moved! My husband was
assigned to an F/A-18 Hornet squadron at Marine Corps Air Station in
Beaufort, South Carolina. He is hoping to be promoted to major this
month. We returned to the East Coast from San Diego with a great
souvenir—we had a baby boy in October. His name is Jackson Walker
Frey, and he defines JOY. Labor?...not so joyous an experience. Mine
was two minutes under 24 hours long. So what did I do with all of
that education and those two degrees? Become a stay-at-home mom!
Actually, I prefer the title "stay-with-son mom" since we are rarely
"at home." I can fathom no better, more fulfilling job. I miss my
interior decorating work, but now I get to work on our home! My
husband Jay is not scheduled to deploy again until January 2003, but
with the state of world events, that could certainly change. It is
so important for us all to remember these servicemen and women as
they defend our freedoms, and the families that they sometimes must
leave behind. We love being back east and close to family, but are
already missing quality Mexican food and the beautiful deserts and
mountains of Southern California.
BROOKS TRUITT (1994) We had just found out that Lisa was
expecting the last time I wrote. Now she's entering her fourth
month. It's hard to believe I'm soon going to be a father. I've
already started reading to the baby. I started with a little book
called What Daddys Do Best and a Dr. Seuss beginner book (not
actually written by Theodore Geisel) called It's not Easy to Be a
Bunny. I'm working my way up to Walden. I figure it'll be
hard to impress him or her with the need to strip life to its
essentials, while sucking its thumb and toes are a top recreational
A lot has happened the past few months. We did a little bit of
traveling this spring. We took two trips out to the Hill Country,
including a camping trip to a ranch once owned by Willie Nelson
that's been converted into a state park. We also took a week's
vacation out to the desert in west Texas. We camped at Big Bend
National Park and had an awesome time. Made me a bit curious to read
some Edward Abbey. I've missed the mountains. It was nice to see
some rugged, if barren, ones. I felt like I was on the set of an old
western; I kept expecting a stagecoach or a band of desperados to
rush by at any moment. Then we went up through the high desert where
Lisa grew up. We actually passed through George W. land, in the
Midland-Odessa area. Plenty of oil, but they can keep it.
Tumbleweeds and sand everywhere, 10 mile views on the flat. We
traversed the high plains through Abilene, onto Ft. Worth and
Dallas. The next day we cruised into Houston. All told, about 1,950
miles. Quite a trek, but I loved it! So did Lisa. I'm glad that she
is adventurous. I guess she needs to be to put up with my
restlessness. We were going to drive up to Denver at the beginning
of June, but Lisa's had a few complications. She's not allowed to
travel long distances until we get another ultrasound, sometime in
June. Nothing serious. So, I might fly up alone. I'm going to work
from Gartner's Boulder office, look around Golden - Denver metro -
Boulder to get a sense of the area, and maybe get a few hikes in.
I'll be sure to send you some pictures.

@Guttsu I love the fan fiction idea.
@Guttsu I love the fan fiction idea.
I'm going to close my suggestion by saying an LGBT Column wouldn't be just about those issues per se but also Warcraft from a different perspective. There's lots of topics that could be covered. Everything from answering reader questions and examining how minority groups fit into their community, to silly things like for example I dunno Transmog Eye For The Draenei.
Also, "The Beard and How To Trim It", LOL. Love it.

Multi-crew licenses get off to a slow start
In the view of many airline chief pilots, the established system of professional pilot training produces pilots who– while satisfactory in a single-crew operation–need additional training in two-crew procedures before they are of use to airlines.
To address this issue, five years ago the airlines proposed that they would sponsor select trainee pilots to undertake a revised course of training that would better qualify them to take their place on the flight deck without substantive further training. With only some 60 hours of flight experience and their theory examinations completed, they would advance to a 180-hour course of simulator-based training as pilot flying and pilot not flying that was oriented to the rules and procedures of the sponsoring company.
The multi-crew pilot license was introduced in 2006. However, in spite of strong vocal support at the discussion stage, the industry has been slow to adopt the license it promoted. A probable reason for this is that a sponsoring airline will have to commit to employing the trainee. A drawback for the trainee pursuing the license is the fact that it is designed around specific company operational procedures, and an MPL holder would be restricted to flight operations with the sponsoring company.
Under normal circumstances this would not be a problem, but a group of MPL graduates flying with Danish airline Sterling found when their company went out of business that while many other companies were willing to accept their experience, the legislation then in effect made it difficult to transfer the license to another operator.
Boeing subsidiary Alteon was the first training establishment to venture into the MPL field at its Brisbane, Australia facility. Six MPL pilots for China Eastern and Xiamen airlines graduated from that program in November. In addition, British regional carrier Flybe recently contracted with Spanish-based European Flight Training to train six potential MPL holders.

Yes it was. Now that things have been a bit normalized, however, I feel the hit to my imaginary wallet a little more.
I'm not complaining about it in the slightest. I imagine that I'll get a few kraken tentacles from the 2600+ fossil fragments that I have saved up. Dang Tol'vir digsites... if you weren't so rare I wouldn't have given up on making fossil artifacts in the first place.
SaintStryfe said...
Agreed. I wish Tol'vir had thier own cool down cycle. Personally, I'd be happy if Tol'vir couldn't even be accessed until 525 and level 85, but was on it's own cycle - maybe three spots per day, randomly spawned, in addtition to other sites on Kalimdor. Also, i'd be nice to have a small tol'vir spot somewhere in the Eastern Kingdoms.
The Tol'vir were created by the Titans, and as such would have been active within the world before the sundering, which split the single continent known as Kalimdor into the continents we know today. It makes sense therefore, that a Tol'vir site could have survived the sundering and exist in the Eastern Kingdoms.
No, it doesn't? Uldum is not located near the western coast of Kalimdor, thus their homeland would have been unaffected by the Sundering. They could have very easily been put there by the Titans and stayed there. They appear to be a rather isolationist type of people as can be gathered from the fact that even the rest of *Kalmidor* knows nothing of them.
