Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
There's a difference between going apeshit over an update and pointing out the likely outcome based on pattern recognition... Blizzard's ways may be mysterious, but if something just screams "I'M OP, NERF ME" or "I WILL NEVER FIND A SPOT ON YOUR ACTION BAR", then a seasoned played can pass pretty accurate judgments.
People tend to get real defensive in both cases, I wonder why...
While I agree that people tend to get panicky and the forums tend to devolve into an echo chamber ("I'm outraged!" "I'm outraged too!" "Look at how many people are outraged!"), I think it's important to separate "OMG, why did you nerf me" complaints from "Your statements seem to have a logical hole in the middle of them."
Balancing PvE healers around offensive dispels (especially when they lack the proper hit rating and the cost is going up), for instance, makes little logical sense in a game where DPS (and even prot warriors) are able to assume the same role. DPS won't have to switch targets to do the dispel and two seconds of lost or diminished DPS will (in almost all cases) be less of a burden than two seconds of lost healing. While it may be true that defensive magic dispelling will be the only required function, the blues stated there will still be curses, poisons and diseases, meaning that guilds (especially those who are on the cusp of downing a boss) will be penalized for taking a shaman or priest.
Also, there's the problem of trusting Blizz's ability to implement their vision. Remember when GC said they wanted healing to be less spammy? In some fights in ICC, it definitely feels more deliberate... And then there's Bonestorm. And Koralon and Toravon (the VoA bosses being all the raiding some people do). I would prefer if the start of Cataclysm wasn't like the start of Wrath where resto shaman were mediocre tank healers if they stacked enough crit in Naxx, then not-particularly-effective spot healers in Ulduar and finally Chain Healing turrets in ToC and ICC when haste stacking started to work. That's three different mechanics for the same class/spec over the course of one expansion. As a result, it's difficult for me to take on faith that Blizz knows what it's doing, has a vision and everything will turn out roses.
I'd rather comment now, explain my concerns and have things shipped in perfect shape than sit back and assume that everything will work out fine.
I'd say don't freak about changes to other classes, and don't freak about new stuff to your class. Go ahead and freak about things being taken out of your class. That stuff nearly never changes well in beta, and you know you like it, and that it's gone. New stuff you don't know how you like and how it's balanced.
I'd much rather have a "cataclysm" expansion that completely revamps the game's core mechanics, and changes everything from top to bottom over Blizzard releasing an all-new-and-improved WOW2. The subscribers are already here - the community is already here - the time invested is already here...
theholyevil said...
While I understand what you are saying, it is important to note this is the beta..... alpha..... something. Yes you could sit down and say nothing. Then once the changes are permanent suddenly argue like all hell has broken lose, but by then it's too late.
This is the point where the feedback people give count the most. To many of you, that may seem like QQ, but to us it's a situation we do not like.
Just remember it's always easy to pick on someone who's got a concern because it's not your class and jump to GC's aid. Though this is not about GC's personality at all, or his integrity, or his mom :|. This is about the changes that some of us might not agree with fully. Not all of us can worship the golden blizzard statue together, sometimes there is going to be argument.
It's important to not group all these people into a QQ group. Some of us are quite calm about the changes and just would rather see something different happen then what we are seeing. Some people are QQing and I don't doubt that, but some of us are trying to have an intelligent argument without being branded as one.
The more you know......
Yeah, sorry, in some places a little outrage is kinda justified.
Take the Priest preview... a class that has been sputtering and clattering along, whose preview was posted ~3 minutes before the due date.
Here is a quote from the 84th page of the Priest preview, I'm putting the portions that the OP underlined in quotes:
We want to improve Discipline's single-target healing capacity. "One key is to make sure shielding isn't always a more attractive option than healing."
Greater Heal will probably be the tank-healing spell of choice, though we've also discussed giving Discipline a second shield so that they have a small shield to cast on lots of different targets, and "a big, more expensive shield to cast on a tank or anyone else taking a ton of damage."
Absorption: Improves the strength of shields such as Power Word: Shield, Divine Aegis, and Power Word: Barrier.
This is a contradiction. Blizz wants to make absorption mechanics less attractive than healing, but give Disc more shielding tools to deal with damage, and make their mastery bonus increase shield absorption. So... will shields always be weak, even with mastery? Will Disc's heals be bigger? Will they be smaller so that they have to constantly spam heals between shields (spam heal is also something Blizz says they want to move away from). How about mana? Does this mean shielding will be expensive, that Disc can't shield a whole party? These statements raise more questions than they answer. It could be great or terrible depending on the way it's done.
The Holy mastery is also troublesome. If you get 3 heals off on someone, it's likely that they're okay... unless you're tank healing. If healing is going to be more expensive, and less spammy, and you cast less spells, it's pretty unlikely you're going to be throwing around the same spell a lot. So, it's likely that you'll either gain the mastery bonus when you don't need it (i.e. healed up the tank, now you get the bonus), or you'll constantly be changing the bonus you have (tank is fine, now raid heals). So, this also seems to raise more questions than it answers.
Shadow... holy moley.
So, Shadow will get a single-target spammable nuke. Okay. This nuke applies a debuff that increases the damage it does. Okay. So, it isn't instant cast, so it won't stack its debuff quickly, and since it will do the most damage when its debuff is fully stacked, it has back-loaded damage. So Blizz's solution to SPriest back-loaded damage is a cast-time nuke with back-loaded damage? What?
Shadow's gameplay will also be entirely changed by the new mastery mechanic, Shadow Orbs... except... we have no idea what they will do (Blizz gave a loose possible examples). So Shadow will be entirely different, in some way we can't predict and have no indication about.
Shadow is losing its only substantive raid/party benefit, the hit buff from Misery. Blizz says they don't want people gearing around who is in a raid... okay, fine, however Mages have their same DPS and are getting Bloodlust too. To replace the marginal benefit of Misery, SPriests are gaining.... well, we don't know. Blizz didn't say if they were getting anything at all.
While on talents being cut, Blizz has stated they want to move away from passive +DPS talents. Nearly half of the Shadow tree are passive +DPS talents. If you add in talents that are passive utility bonuses, like increased range or reduced mana cost, you get up to about 75% of the Shadow tree. So... close to half the tree is composed of the types of talents Blizz says it wants to ditch... but we have no idea what they will chuck, keep, or replace.
The Priest preview was terrible. Utterly, entirely terrible. Honestly, I wish they didn't post it.

It looks like former "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson is headed for divorce court.
Three judges down… one to go? With yesterday's announcements that Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj are officially not returning to "American Idol" next season, and Randy Jackson's previously announced exodus, where does that leave remaining judge Keith Urban?
Former "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson recently stopped by MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, FL to commemorate Memorial Day, and to announce the start of his "American Tribute Collection" guitar.
Jackson spent the day touring the base and performed at a ceremony. Of course, he couldn't leave without donating some of the guitars from his collection to the Air Force.
Nicki Minaj could be the next judge to exit "American Idol" after Season 12. Sources told Us Weekly, "It's safe to say she isn't coming back to 'Idol.'"
Longtime "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson announced yesterday that he is leaving the hit reality show.
"American Idol" staple Randy Jackson will not be returning next season.
Jackson tells "Extra" in a statement, "Yo! Yo! Yo! To put all of the speculation to the rest, after 12 years of judging on 'American Idol' I have decided it is time to leave after this season. I am very proud of how we forever changed television and the music industry. It's been a life-changing opportunity but I am looking forward to focusing on my company Dream Merchant 21 and other business ventures."
Wild rumors circulated this week about foiled plans to replace Mariah Carey with former judge Jennifer Lopez on "American Idol." "Extra's" Terri Seymour caught up with Ryan Seacrest and Randy Jackson to get their take on the gossip.
The competition heated up on "American Idol" Wednesday night as the sudden death rounds began in Las Vegas. Ten contestants took the stage, but only five made it through to the upcoming Hollywood sing-off.
Judge Mariah Carey told "Extra's" Terri Seymour, "I hated having to let certain people go. It's so hard."

Roasted Carrots with Fennel and Onions
Is it a side dish to go with the brisket or is it a work of art?
The answer is it could be both. These roasted carrots began as beautiful bunches of orange, purple, and pale yellow organic carrots with their stems intact that I bought at the local farmer's market.
Along with a couple of fennel bulbs and a white and purple onion they became the lovely side dish served alongside my brisket at our recent Seder.
After peeling them, and leaving the stems on as many as possible, I tossed them with some extra virgin olive oil, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
The sliced fennel and onion wedges were also tossed with some olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper before I spread them all out on a couple rimmed baking sheets and placed them in a 425 degree oven.
After about 15 to 20 minutes toss them around a bit on the sheets to prevent sticking, switch trays from top to bottom and bottom to top, and continue roasting for another 10 to 15 minutes until they begin to caramelize.
Serve on a platter hot, warm or even room temperature. Delicious!
Happy Passover
This Passover was a very special one for us. We celebrated the Seder ( the ceremonial dinner marking the beginning of the week of Passover at which we retell the story of the Exodus) in our new home with our sons and their girlfriends at our table.
With 3000 miles separating us we have been unable to share this holiday with them for many years. And now a 3 to 4 hour drive for each has allowed us to all be together. So you see it was a very Happy Passover for us all.
Here are a few photos to share with you…
Thanksgiving for Christmas (Roasted Turkey in Parchment)
It's hard to believe that it is officially 2014, and I am still trying to catch up with blogs I wanted to post in 2013.
It has been a little over a month since we moved into our house. While many things have not found their permanent home as yet, at least they are unpacked and the boxes are thrown out. There is still much to do to make it home.
We took a break from it all for a couple of weeks to welcome my sister who came to spend the holidays with us, her first visit here to San Luis Obispo.
Leaving the cold and snow in Pennsylvania behind her, she enjoyed, as did we, our first Christmas and New Year's in this beautiful Mediterranean climate we are lucky enough to now call home.
Since we had just moved in two days before Thanksgiving, and I wasn't able to cook what is my most favorite meal, Thanksgiving Dinner, I decided that I would make a Thanksgiving Dinner for Christmas.
For years now,during the weeks before Thanksgiving I love to listen to the Martha Stewart Show on XM Sirius radio. The format always involves guest chefs and callers sharing their holiday menus, both traditional as well as familiar dishes done with a new twist.
This year Martha Stewart Living test kitchen introduced a new way to roast a turkey that I found very intriguing and had wanted to try.
It involved roasting your turkey slathered in butter, but wrapped completely in parchment for several hours, then raising the oven temperature, unwrapping the turkey and putting it back in the oven to brown.
Wrapped in the parchment for the majority of the roasting time really seals in the juices resulting in a deliciously moist bird.
Removing the parchment and continuing to cook the turkey at a higher temperature for 45 minutes to an hour ensures an especially golden brown crispy skin.
Although Martha roasts her turkey stuffed I prefer to roast my Mom's Stuffing in a separate casserole dish.
If roasting the turkey unstuffed you will want to lessen your cooking time accordingly.
Be sure to check the temperature with an instant read thermometer.
My sister, husband and I all agreed this was a wonderful way to roast a turkey, and I'm certain I will be doing it again.
Here's the link to the recipe…
Here's Martha herself showing how it's done on The Today Show…
Food, Flora, and Father's Day
Yesterday was the final Father's Day celebrated in our home of 25 years.
We have had countless celebrations over these years in our backyard (for years we grilled on the grass until we had our patio built).
From everyday barbeques to Bar-Mitzvah celebrations we have so many memories of good times in what to us has become a little bit of paradise that we developed over our time in this home.
From a new home without so much as a a stick in the backyard we created this with a lot of hard work and perseverance…a work in progress that was truly a labor of love.
Each Spring I would look forward to planting pots on the patio, but always something different than the year before…here are just a few from previous years…
This year I had to rely on my perennials since there was no time to plant with us moving by the end of June. In fact, I've been gradually giving my perennial pots away to family and friends…parting gifts that are hard to part with, but knowing they will be in good hands makes it easier.
So with my husband still recovering from his surgery, and in the midst of my packing I really wanted to have one last cookout for Father's Day.
The weather turned out to be perfect for eating outside (a rarity in our area in the summer), family and friends turned out for the day, and we enjoyed a really great summer meal.
My husband rose to the occasion and even managed to man the grill, cooking the brick chicken and hot dogs and Italian sausage to perfection…
There was corn on the cob…with all the toppings…
and I made Ina Garten's Greek Panzanella Salad , a terrific salad to serve that can be prepared ahead , dressed 30 minutes before serving, and served at room temperature.
For dessert I made the Strawberries and Cream Spectacular Cake and my best friend brought fabulous homemade brownies.
And by the end of the day we had one more memory to tuck away and take with us to California.
Smoked Whitefish Salad
For our brunch last Sunday I made Smoked Whitefish Salad.
I use very little mayo relative to the amount of fish so the rich flavor of the smoked fish really shines through. You could even omit the mayonnaise altogether and simply add a little olive oil to the lemon juice.
The only thing challenging about this dish is deboning the smoked fish.
In the past I usually did it in a trial and error fashion, and usually found myself picking out a lot of bones that I had missed making this a pretty time consuming process.
This time I went online and found this video which made things a lot easier. I may need to practice a bit more, but I think I did a pretty good job.
I'm not telling how many times I had to replay the video, though! Your reward for all your hard work is getting to nibble all the bits and pieces that you are not using.
I see he agrees with me…check it out!
Smoked Whitefish Salad (makes about 8 cups)
2 smoked whole whitefish ( 2-3 # each), skin and bones removed
3-4 stalks celery, finely diced
1/3 cup fresh dill, chopped
juice of 3 lemons
freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 heaping tablespoons mayonnaise (I use Hellman's canola oil mayo)
Debone the whitefish and place in a large bowl.
Add the diced celery, fresh chopped dill, mayonnaise, lemon juice and black pepper to the whitefish. Mix gently with very clean hands to maintain good size pieces of fish and toss til thoroughly combined.
Cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Serve with bagels,rye bread or pumpernickel. Garnish with chopped fresh chives or fresh dill.
Passover Chocolate Sponge Cake Roll with Raspberries and Cream
In addition to the Passover Lemon Cheesecake which I made this year I also took this Chocolate Sponge Cake Roll with Raspberries and Cream to the seder at our aunt's home.
I am not a chocoholic by any means ( I usually prefer desserts without chocolate with a few exceptions), but i know that for many people it is not dessert if it's not chocolate. So I always like to include something with chocolate when there are several desserts at a holiday meal.
This recipe is an adaptation of a lemon sponge cake roll I have made numerous times at Passover. (See the post from April 2011) .
Instead of the lemon juice and zest I added cocoa powder and vanilla extract, filled it with some fresh raspberries and whipped cream, and covered it in with a chocolate frosting.
Passover Chocolate Sponge Cake Roll with Raspberries and Cream
(serves 8 to 10)
For the cake roll
1/2 cup sifted Passover cake meal
1/2 cup potato starch
6 eggs, separated
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Line a 10"x 15" rimmed baking sheet with buttered parchment paper.
Sift together cake meal, potato starch, and cocoa powder and set aside.
Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until thick and lemon colored.
Gradually add the dry ingredients, stirring to make a thick batter.
Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt until stiff but not dry. Fold very gently into the batter.
Turn into the prepared pan and bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for about 20 minutes. Test with cake tester, or press gently with finger to see if cake bounces back.
Remove from then oven and turn onto a lightly sugared towel. Gently remove parchment paper.
Roll up with the towel while warm and let cool completely on a rack.
When cool, carefully unroll and spread the whipped cream, dot with the raspberries. Reroll and place onto serving plate.
Cover with the chocolate frosting. Garnish with extra raspberries.
Whipped cream filling
1/2 cup heavy cream for whipping
1 tablespoon confectioners sugar
Whip cream and sugar with whisk attachment in an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
3/4 cup fresh raspberries, (sweetened with 1 tablespoon sugar, optional)
Chocolate frosting
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 cups sifted confectioners sugar
1 and 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 to 4 Tablespoons hot water
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
Blend sugar with melted butter, vanilla, and chocolate. Stir in hot water 1 tablespoon at a time until proper consistency.
Passover Lemon Cheesecake
This luscious lemon cheesecake is one of the desserts I took to the Seder at our aunt's home last night.
The crust is made from ground almonds and matzo cake meal making it perfect for Passover when flour is prohibited. Its sweet crunchiness complements the smooth lemony light filling.
Passover Lemon Cheesecake (Epicurious, Gourmet/ April 2008)
(8 to 10 servings)
3/4 cup sliced blanched almonds, toasted and cooled
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup matzo cake meal
14 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
3 (8 -ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
a 9-inch springform pan
To Make Crust
Preheat oven to 350 degrees with the rack in the middle.
Pulse almonds, sugar, matzo cake meal, and salt in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer to a bowl and stir in butter until combined well.
Press onto bottom and 1 inch up the side of springform pan. Bake until crust is firm and a shade darker, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool crust completely in pan on a rack.
To Make Filling and Bake Cheesecake
Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees.
Beat together cream cheese and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low and add eggs 1 at a time, mixing until incorporated. Mix in zest and vanilla.
Put springform pan in a shallow baking pan and pour filling into cooled crust. Bake until filling is set 1 and 1/2 inches from the edge but center is wobbly, 45 to 50 minutes (filling will set as it cools).
Transfer cake in pan to a rack and immediately run a knife around edge, then remove side of pan. Cool completely, 2 to 3 hours.
Garnish with blackberries and lemon slices (optional)
Note: Cheesecake can be made 2 days ahead and chilled, loosely covered.
Charoseth for Passover
Passover began last night with the ceremonial seder meal.
We were invited to the home of my husband's aunt whom he has been especially close to since he was old enough to walk, and whom I became close with since I first began dating my husband in high school.
At that time his aunt and uncle and cousins lived in the same town in which we grew up.
In the late 70's, years after we had married and moved to Chicago they moved to Virginia where our aunt still lives today.
The amazing thing is we never know what lies ahead.
In 1988 we found ourselves moving east after living in Chicago for 15 years.
We never could have predicted that one day we we would be living in Maryland, and even more amazing that we would be living just 35 minutes (barring traffic /accidents/ construction on the beltway) from our wonderful aunt.
And now as our life takes another turn we find ourselves celebrating the last of many Passovers and other holidays and events we have shared with her and her family over these past 25 years.
Through all these years we have had a special relationship with our aunt who is now the matriarch of my husband's family.
She is a special lady who wrote the book on how to age well.
She is young at heart with an optimistic outlook, seemingly able to roll with any punches that life doles out.
Her schedule of activities and social life would be challenging for many half her age. Her sense of humor and lust for life are evident whenever you speak with her.
And did I mention that she is quite a looker, to boot?
She refers to herself and her significant other as the "oldest teenagers in their town"!
We have shared so much of our lives with her over these past years, and it will be difficult to say good bye.
Once we are settled in our new home we know she will be one of our first visitors from the east coast and we will insist that she add a regular trip to San Luis Obispo to her yearly travel schedule.
We look forward to sharing many more good times with her in San Luis Obispo, and of course, we will be back east to see her regularly as well.
Preparing a seder is no small fete. Although I love hosting the holidays, even I realized that with our upcoming move it was not to be. We have begun packing, selling some furniture, and my house is slowly but surely deconstructing, a necessary, but very sad evil for me.
Anyway, I am far from being done cooking here so I enticed my aunt to allow me to bring several contributions to the meal, one of which was the traditional dish of apples, nuts, cinnamon and wine known as Charoset, Charoseth, or Haroset.
The Charoseth is symbolic of the bricks and mortar used by the Jewish slaves to build cities for the Pharaoh.
It is one of the ceremonial foods on the Seder Plate. During the service we partake of it on a piece of matzoh along with a little horseradish, representing the sweetness of freedom and the bitterness of slavery.
Although we usually eat Charoseth once a year at Passover it is so delicious there's no reason why we don't eat it year round. Here's the simple recipe:
Charoseth (serves 8)
1 cup chopped or diced apples
1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
2 tablespoons honey or sugar
1/4 cup sweet red wine or grape juice
1/4 teaspoon (or more to taste) cinnamon
Mix chopped apples and chopped nuts. Add remaining ingredients, and mix thoroughly. Serve with traditional Passover dinner.
Corned Beef and Cabbage with a Twist
Happy Saint Patrick's Day! Although we are not Irish this day will always be one we celebrate because our oldest son was born on St. Patrick's Day 1975 at 8:36 pm in Chicago.
With our upcoming move on the horizon we are really looking forward to celebrating birthdays with our sons once again since incredibly we will be living within a few hours of each after being on the opposite coast for so many years.
So in the spirit of celebration of my first born son and St. Patrick's Day I almost always prepare a dinner of corned beef and cabbage.
This year I decided to put a twist on this standard dish and roast the cabbage which is unimaginably delicious. I also roasted the carrots, and made parsley potatoes to accompany the corned beef.
When the corned beef was tender after having simmered on the stove for several hours I placed it on a rack in a roasting pan, slathered it with a glaze of honey, whole grain mustard, Dijon mustard, and brown sugar. and roasted it at 350 degrees for about 20 more minutes .
It was one of the best St. Patrick's Day dinners I've made, and we are looking forward to corned beef sandwiches tomorrow.
Roasted Cabbage
1 head cabbage, cored, and cut into 8 wedges.
Extra virgin olive oil
Kosher Salt to taste
Freshly Cracked Black Pepper to taste
Place the cabbage wedges carefully on a rimmed baking sheet, and drizzle with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Turn the slices over carefully and season again with salt and pepper.
Roast in a preheated 450 degree oven for about 10 minutes until the edges begin to caramelize.
Carefully turn the slices over and roast another 10 to 15 minutes until they are crispy and browned at the edge, but still have a bite to them.
Valentine's Day Dinner for my Sweetheart
This is the dessert that ended our Valentine's dinner this evening.
Nothing too fancy, just a few of my husband's favorites…homemade rich chocolatey brownies cut into heart shapes, sharing the plate with pure vanilla ice cream blanketed with fresh ripe macerated strawberries.
Dinner was a mixed green salad, steamed lobster tails with drawn butter, pan seared T-Bone Steak, and baked potatoes all washed down with a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Buchanan is the third largest city in Liberia, lying on Waterhouse Bay, part of the Atlantic Ocean. It is referred to as Gbezohn in the local Bassa language. As of the 2008 census, Buchanan has a population of 34,270. Of this, 16,984 were male and 17,286 female. Named for Thomas Buchanan, cousin of U.S. president James Buchanan and first governor of Liberia, it is also the capital of Grand Bassa and lies 70 miles (110 km) southeast of Monrovia, near the mouth of the Saint John River. The town was popular with refugees during the Liberian Civil War[disambiguation needed ] as it largely escaped the fighting. Fishing is an important industry in the town. The town also has isolated beaches and lagoons.
In December 1832, the Port Cresson colony was founded in what is now Buchanan, by black Quakers of the New York and Pennsylvania Colonization Societies.. It was established as a settlement for black emigrants from the United States. The emigrants named the settlement in honor of Elliott Cresson, a Philadelphia merchant and Pennsylvania Colonization Society founder who funded their voyage to Liberia. In June 1835, Bassa tribal members destroyed the Americo-Liberian colony of Port Cresson.

More sunshine and warmer weather tend to bring more people out and about during the summer months. But, more people out and about also lead to an influx in criminal activity.
Waterloo Police said there is usually an increase in crime scenes during the months of June, July and August.
"More kids are out and about, kids aren't in school so that has an effect on it. People, with the nicer weather and longer days, are out in the evenings more," said Captain Tim Pillack.
Pillack said while crimes can happen anywhere, anytime, they are usually at their highest between the hours of 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Waterloo Police advise people to know their surroundings when out driving and not to walk alone late at night. But, summertime is also vacation time. If traveling out of town, police recommend taking certain action:
Waterloo Police offer vacation watch checks in which officers can keep an eye on properties while people are gone.
Last summer in Waterloo in the months of June to August, there were 215 assaults and 266 burglaries.
Waterloo Police urge people to keep in mind that it's not just nighttime in which crimes occur, and to call police for any suspicious activity.

FRIDAY, Sept. 10 (HealthDay News) -- Young women are more likely
to use birth control if their partners are in favor of it, new
study findings suggest.
In fact, women were more than twice as likely to use an
effective method of birth control consistently if their male sex
partner was "very" in favor of birth control, the researchers
The study, funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, looked at 435 couples in Los Angeles and Oklahoma City.
The women in the couples were aged 18 to 25, were not pregnant and
weren't trying to get pregnant.
While the men and women in the study said they played an active
role in deciding whether birth control was used, there was
considerable disagreement between partners about whether they'd
actually talked about birth control.
This type of contradiction is common in male/female
relationships, said principal investigator Marie Harvey, a
professor of public health at Oregon State University.
"To a man, having a discussion about contraception might mean that he asked if she was on the pill, and she said yes. To a woman, however, that exchange may not count as a conversation. A conversation to her might mean sitting down and having a lengthy discussion about what type of birth control to use," Harvey said in a university news release.
The findings, published recently in the journal
Women's Health Issues, provide new insight into sexual behavior and the use of contraception.
"We are trying to better understand the influence of partners in the sexual dynamic," Harvey said. "Public health research in the past has largely focused on the woman alone, but we know that these kinds of decisions are not made in a vacuum and that a woman's sexual partner can be very influential. Yet, research often doesn't even address the influence of sexual partners on protective behaviors."
In addition, the researchers found that even though the female
participants had said they didn't want to get pregnant, most of
them were having unprotected sex. Providers need to help women
"clarify their desires and make decisions about whether to use
contraception or to plan for pregnancy," Harvey said.

birth control.

This was so great, and easy to make! I served with Sunset's Lacinato Kale and some rice pilaf. Delish!

My market didn't have any good sole so they suggested Onaga fillets. They were probably too thick as the fish burned and wasn't completely cooked inside. The flavor was wonderful though and so easy. Will try different fillets next time. A definite repeat.

Use the arrow keys or WASD to move your robot. Also has a 2 player mode so you can play with your friend!
15 levels in all in standard 1 player mode. Also an endurance mode to compete for high scores and see how long you can stay alive.
Hang in there! The final levels get pretty tough, so choose your upgrades wisely and scout out a path to victory.
Rated 2 / 5 stars September 3, 2012
Completely frustrating. Not only, as other people have mentioned, does the robot slide to one side with no way to stop it occasionally, but most levels begin with a bubble coming down on the robot right away. This results in the "BEGIN!" screen appearing and reappearing until the player gets lucky. There are so many other games like this, and "Bots N' Bubbles" is far from the best.
Rated 3 / 5 stars May 22, 2012
nice game... but the robot sometimes moves to one side or the other automatically, regardless of which direction I'm holding down

The US government continues to rain drones down on the tribal belt of Pakistan. While the Washington narrative is that these drones are precision machines that only kill terrorists, this story is not true.
The drone program is classified, and so it cannot be publicly debated. It cannot even be acknowledged by President Obama and his cabinet members. Drones are operated by civilians and sometimes by contractors. That is, we are subcontracting assassination.
Americans who were upset that the president did not seek congressional authorization for the enforcement of the no-fly zone in Libya are apparently all right with his administration bombing Pakistan without explicit authorization (the 2001 one authorizes action against perpetrators of 9/11, not their children.). The Obama administration has declared that no judges or judicial process need be involved in just blowing away people, even American citizens.

Black Isle Self Catering
Despite its name, holiday visitors do not need to go on a ferry to the Black Isle. For it's misnamed and actually a peninsula surrounded on three sides by the waters of the Cromarty, Beauly and Moray firths.
Lying to the north of Inverness, the Black Isle has long been fabled for its productive agricultural land and fishing villages. Today, a popular tourism beauty spot, the Black Isle is compact and distinctive being just 23 miles long by nine miles wide at its broadest point. The origins of its name are now lost in the mists of time but there are several competing theories for the Black Isle, or an t-Eilean Dubh in Scottish Gaelic. The most likely, and prosaic, explanation is that 'black' refers to the rich, black coloured soil that has proven so productive for countless generations of farmers. Roughly oval in shape, the Black Isle can be reached from the main A9 road when travelling from the north or south and via the A832 from the west. Conon Bridge is the first village on the Black Isle from the north west, with Muir of Ord and Beauly delineating the remainder of the boundary.
Other major towns and villages on the Black Isle include Cromarty, Munlochy, Avoch, Rosemarkie, Fortrose, Tore, North Kessock and Culbokie.
Gael Holidays Homes has selected a number of interesting properties on the Black Isle that are guaranteed to delight every visitor. What we have come up with is an attractive mix of new and traditional in the Avoch, Rosemarkie and Cromarty areas.
As a base for exploring the Highlands, the Black Isle is well placed. But that is to do it a disservice. The Black Isle is a fascinating entity in its own right. It is steeped in history and tradition.
Because of its rich farming land the Black Isle was one of the first places subjected to the Highland Clearances and was resettled by sheep farmers. However, there is evidence of the Black Isle being occupied for thousands of years. It has supported communities since before Pictish times. The remains of a crannog at Redcastle and several cairns dotted across the Black Isle indicate the peninsula has been home to people as far back as 1900BC. There is a wealth of heritage in the Black Isle, from ruined castles to monuments that have remained almost untouched for hundreds of years.
There is a certain quaintness to the Black Isle. For instance, there are no large towns. The peninsula is dotted by small picturesque villages that huddle around a bay. The Black Isle is a great spot for a holiday – and for exploring – as there is a surprise around almost every bend.
We have holiday cottages, apartments, log cabins and holiday home accommodation available across the area taking in the coastal towns of Avoch, Cromarty, Rosemarkie and Fortrose. Rosemarkie has the best beach in the area and is a great place for walking and spending time with the kids and Chanonry point in Fortrose offers a links golf course as well as one of the best places in Scotland to see the resident dolphins play in the Moray Firth. The picturesque village of Cromarty, unspoilt by modern development, has more than its fair share of attractions and places to eat for its size.
For bird and nature lovers the Black Isle has much on offer. With Red Kites aplenty across the Black Isle you will need your camera. You can see thousands of wildfowl and wading birds in Munloch Bay and Udale Bay on either side of the Black Isle. Come an hour or two either side of high tide to be rewarded with spectacular views of flocks of flying birds. In autumn up to 5,000 wigeons feed , while if you want to see an osprey fishing in the water, late summer is the time to come. The Black Isle has lots to offer the holiday visitor.

Jim's Steaks ............Worth It
This Summer, as I was on my way back from HeadHouse each Sunday, I reflected on the pitiful tourists lined up around the corner at 4th & South St. I felt called to walk among them and preach about Steve's and Sonny's and denounce Delasando's, Geno's, Pat's etc.
Maybe around mid-summer someone who I trust to know Philly sandwiches mentioned that they had a good steak at Jim's. A few weeks after that, my sister, a culinary professional, said the same thing, she's not a meat and cheese barbarian. So getting to Jim's has been on my list to check out. The first time I tried the line was way long. Tonight I was about the third person and it was quick. The staff hustle there.
I've been eating Jim's for a long, long while. I never thought they were very special. Jim's Steaks always packed a fat, salt and grease KO punch and if you wrapped a couple of slices of Lorenzo around a Jim's you were really South St. set.
Even in the 80's Jim's had the Philly vibe on the cheese steak line. It still does. The fellas are working hard in a steamy, popular tourist spot and you can plainly see that. Their teamwork looks natural and automatic. The menacing white dude who used to lord over the workers wasn't there.
Hey, the steak was really good. The touch was light and crafty. A just right dose of wiz, and an excellent soft roll complimented the hashed beef. The onions and mushrooms had genuine flavor. Beef that wasn't dry or greasy or too shredded with fairly clean flavor. I liked it a lot. The quality and attention to detail was obvious. I was impressed.
Jim's keeps it extra real with delectable Wise chips. The tiny bag is old school.
For tourists it is worthwhile. Your patience is rewarded with an authentic and tasty Philly cheese steak.

Hey EHR,
Ya Jim's on South St. It may have improved since your visit.
Rick's is no longer in RTM: http://phillymarketcafe.blogspot.com/2008/06/reading-terminal-today-ricks-philly.html
I don't think Rick was ever a contender for best cheesesteak. Steve Prince of Steaks in the NE is #1 in my experience.

udget cots affect all campus areas Linda R. Nimori Editor-in-Chief President Stephen D. Nadauld presented the long-awaited Weber State College budget cuts to two different groups on campus yesterday, formally entitled the "Strategic Plan for 1990." Basically, he related the same information to both, but it had to be voted on by the Institutional Council first and then brought before faculty, staff and administrative personnel. The effort has involved not just campus leaders, but every organizational unit of the college and local citizens, as well, said President Nadauld, and he reiterated that a "dual emphasis on undergraduate liberal and applied arts remains appropriate today , for Weber State College. With these words, "The clear implication is that all our curricula, both liberal and applied, should evolve toward greater generality and away from narrow specialty," he dug right in to the heart of the matter, noting that the following criteria were used to select -academic and student service areas for maintenance, reuuction or elimination: 1. QUALITY, including the degree of involvement between students and staff or faculty. 2. CENTRALITY to the mission of the college. 3. UNIQUENESS relative to the Utah system of higher education and the private sector. 4. PRODUCTIVITY in terms of numbers of graduates and students served. , 5. EXPENSE inherent in serving students or producing graduates. The resulting application of these criteria, along with identifying potential administrative cost savings, " president Nadauld, affected the functions listed ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE CUTBACKS: architectural services, building and grounds (including fuel and power), controller, internal auditor, purchasing, president, vice president for academic affairs, dean of allied health sciences, dean of arts and humanities, social sciences department chairs. ASWSC asks for student input Jonathan Wright President, ASWSC The WSC "Strategic Plan for 1 990" was presented to the Institutional Council yesterday morning. Part of the strategic plan is a response to the six percent budget cut mandated by the governor. A vote of support was taken of the council, and I voted "yes" in support of the plan, knowing that the plan and the document are TENTATIVE. I quote from page four of the strategic plan: "It is also important to recognize that, while we intend to follow through on all aspects of the plan, it is not forever set m concrete ... a program or office now scheduled for reduction or elimination could conceivably be spared." That means that if there is enough student support for the preservation of an area to be cut, there is the possibility of it being spared, but commensurate cuts would have to made in other areas. In order to represent your views, we need to know them! Please read the survey on page four of this publication, respond to the questions, and return the survey to the ASWSC office, UB 241. You may also contact any of the executive officers or senators to voice additional concerns relating to this matter.

TURNOVER SAVINGS: English, history, music, political science and philosophy, social work, teacher education, theatre arts. Additionally, there will be a feasibility study on eliminating the Division of Continuing Education's state subsidy and placing it on a self-supporting basis. This plan, designed to be enacted over a four-year period of time, will reduce faculty, staff and executive positions by 75 and will additionally affect another 30 persons. "Recognizing the difficulties faced by those affected, the college will assist by liberalizing its early retirement benefits, offering various counseling services and assisting with their efforts to find alternate employment," President Nadauld read from the four-page "Strategic Plan for 1990." (see CUTS on page 4) Vice presidents air proposed cuts Linda R. Nimori Editor-in-Chief The four vice presidents of Weber State College presented the general cuts that they are facing in their respective responsibilities as part of strategic planning. Jerald T. Storey, vice president for business affairs, recounted two major areas that will be affected under his jurisdiction: physical plant and internal control. He indicated that the physical plant division of his area is reducing staff by seven personnel, possibly eight, citing custodians, groundskeepers and a painter as those involved. Additional manpower for the maintenance of the Wattis business building and the new Marriott allied health building has been and will be absorbed by ex isting personnel. Internal control reductions include cuts in the snow removal budget. "It may be that we will issue a snow shovel for each office," he laughed. Purchasingstores will also be reduced as will the budget for fuel and power. Storey compared the Carter administration's campaign several years ago to conserve fuel and power with WSC's future efforts to do the same. Conservations will center around saving money instead of saving fuel. Dean W. Hurst, vice president for college relations, noted several athletic programs were being cut from the curriculum: wrestling and women's golf. Even though these two athletic areas have produced several national champions during the past few years, neither sport is in the Big Sky Conference. (see V.P.'s on page 2)

Kean University Hosts Homeland Security and Fire Safety Conference
UNION, N.J. More than 400 New Jersey fire safety officials will attend a critical Homeland Security and Fire Safety training conference on Saturday, March 6. The event will include special presentations from Dr. Denis Onieal, superintendent of the U.S. National Fire Academy; Dr. Clifton Lacy, commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Health; and Sidney J. Casperson, director of the New Jersey Office of Counter-Terrorism, in a program designed to bring together – and better coordinate – those fire safety officials charged with keeping New Jersey safe and secure.
The event, sponsored by Kean University and the New Jersey Division of Fire Safety (NJDFS) and funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (USDHS), will focus on the fire safety community's role in the training and preparation initiatives sweeping our nation.
"As first responders, we play a critical role in the management and containment of disasters and hazards," said Lawrence Petrillo, director of NJDFS. "More often than not, members of the fire service are the first on the scene of tragic events. Today, as we prepare ourselves to handle new threats of terrorism and bioterrorism, the time has come to meet as a community to better define our role in developing New Jersey's Homeland Security Initiatives."
Petrillo worked closely with Kean University to organize this event and will also be giving a presentation.
The program will include presentations and panel discussions led by many experts in homeland security and fire safety, such as New Jersey's 8th Congressional District Rep. William J. Pascrell, who serves on the House Select Committee on Homeland Security; John Norman, deputy chief-in-charge of special operations in the New York City Fire Department; Ron Kanterman, fire chief for Merck & Company; and Neil Pitagno, supervisory special agent of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Topics to be discussed include training and education; communications and intelligence; chemical and biological terrorism; chief officers, industrial-sector response teams; incident command, coordination with the Office of Emergency Management; and the identification and securing of grants related to fire safety and homeland security.
This event begins at 8:30 a.m. in Kean University's Downs Hall, 1000 Morris Avenue, Union, N.J., and will conclude at 3 p.m. Registration is required, but admission is free and includes breakfast and lunch. Contact Audrey Kelly at Kean University, (908) 737-4305 or email@example.com, for more information or to register.

"Comfortable apartment. Modern decor. Good location."
A colleague & I stayed here for almost 2 weeks while visiting Malta for business. My correspondence with the host, Trevor, prior to our arrival was prompt & helpful although the cab driver from the airport had a hard time finding the flat at first because the street name on the street sign was different than what Trevor had told me. If you stay here, ask Trevor to give you the name on the sign.
Also, I'd read complaining on reviews of other properties in Malta of garbage being left outside the door. This was true, so don't be surprised or put off. It's like New York. There's no/few alleys with rubbish bins, so garbage bags are left outside the building and are cleared away almost daily it seems.
Since we were away for most days & evenings either for work or play, we didn't use the kitchen or appliances much at all, but they're all modern and new: washer, gas stove, refrigerator, wifi, hot water for showers. There was a small noise issue during our stay due to the neighbors doing some construction & another neighbor shouting at times (my sense was it was an elderly person who had a mental disability), but as I said, these were pretty minor. Again, I suggest you check in with Trevor about this.
Overall, this is a really nice secure property in a good safe location. Very close to a main bus route. 5-20 minute walking distance to various pubs, restaurants, (rocky) beaches, diving center, night life in St. Julian's & shopping in Sliema. Trevor was very helpful & accommodating. A wonderful host. I'd recommend it.

"Great location and apartment"
Stayed in this apartment for 3 weeks. The landlord from the first introduction made me feel welcome and gave me all the necessary information i needed. The location is excellent, 5 minute walk to St Julians and 5 minute walk to Sliema. Located near Surftside (3 minute walk) which is the main place to go swimming , with the beach bar aswell.
