Winter Bear Create a Caption
My town had 2 feet of snow, and some towns near me had 30 inches. My friend who lives in New York said that snow removal was so slow, that the kids on her city street built a snowman in the middle of the street! Hmmm. Fun with blizzards.
Well I took this opportunity to position my favorite bear atop the mountain of snow outside my house. Some of you may remember him in much warmer days from this Create A Caption blog. But now, like all creatures, he has to adapt to the cold weather.
What do you imagine he is thinking? Create a Caption in the Comments below!

Did you know? Throughout the 62 year history of Open Doors, only seven places have been the #1 place of origin of international students.
Canada, our northern neighbor, held the title for the first 23 years of the report (1949-1971), the most of any place of origin. These days, over 27,000 Canadians cross the border to pursue higher education in the United States. That is more than the 25,464 total international students from all places of origin that were studying in the United States in 1949, the first year of the Open Doors survey.
While it is common knowledge that India is currently one of the top places of origin (having occupied the top spot from 2002-2009), large numbers of students from India have been coming to the United States to study since the early years of the Open Doors survey. India previously held the top spot for two years in 1972 and 1973. Over 100,000 students from India are now in the United States, most studying science and technology fields such as engineering and computer science.
Canada and India are the only two countries that have figured among the top 10 places of origin for the entire history of Open Doors.
Vibrant and international Hong Kong was the top place of origin for one year in 1974, while still under British rule. Over 10,000 students from Hong Kong came to study in the United States that year.
The Middle East is a region with which the United States has had a longstanding and well-needed engagement in international education. While Saudi Arabia has been the top sending country in the Middle East in recent years (due to a Saudi government scholarship program launched in 2005), Iran is the only Middle Eastern country to have been the #1 place of origin overall, a post it held for nine years (1975-1983), when over 50,000 Iranians were studying at U.S. colleges and universities.
East Asia has been the region where most international students have come from since 1984. China, Japan, and Taiwan have all had their turn occupying the overall top position. The People's Republic of China is currently the leading place of origin of international students in the United States by a wide margin: there are over 157,000 Chinese students in the United States. Interest in U.S. study is particularly strong among Chinese high school students; the number of undergraduates from China has increased six-fold over the past five years. China has been the top place of origin since 2010, but was also #1 from 1999-2001 and from 1989-1994.
Japan was the top place of origin for four years (1995-1998), when over 47,000 Japanese students studied in the United States in one year. Since then, the number of students from Japan has steadily declined and is currently just over 21,000—less than half the total from the peak years.
While Taiwan held the top spot for five years (1984-1988), the peak year for enrollments from Taiwan was actually 1994, when over 37,000 students from Taiwan were studying in the United States. Currently, there are about 25,000 students from Taiwan in the United States.
While South Korea has never been the top place of origin overall, the number of South Koreans studying in the United States now exceeds 73,000—more than currently come from Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and Taiwan.

You Get What You Pay For !!!!!!Ive always used Solano dryers , almost 15 yrs. Decided to try this when it was on sale over the Xmas holiday. I had to work up the courage to spend the money, but glad I did. Its been 4 months since my last trim and this dryer has been the reason! It does not damage! I have below the bra lenght hair and it dries in 7 minutes when my Solano took 20! My hair is softer, longer and stronger and compliments keep coming. Girls, you deserve it, Go for it. You wont be sorry !Apr 11, 2009J.kraemer / Sparta, NJ

Not HappyI decided to spend more $ to get a great blow dryer based on the reviews I saw here. This dryer is very heavy and much too hot--it actually burns my scalp. My hair doesnt come out any smoother or less frizzy than with my much less expensive dryer which is easier to use since it is lighter. VERY unhappy with this.Apr 7, 2009Swa / CT

After reading all of the reviews I went ahead and dished out for the pricey hairdryer. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. Didnt cut my drying time in half from my current hairdryer, which was a fraction of the price.Apr 6, 2009Nicole / Arizona

It's Alright, But Not Worth The MoneyMy previous dryer was the Babyliss Carerra 2 (the red one) and I have had it for two years before deciding to get a new one. I got this dryer as a gift and was really excited to use it. It took about the same time for me to get my hair dry (about 20 minutes), so I dont feel this dryer can dry your hair any faster than my Babyliss. I did notice that my arm was getting tired really quickly (I never noticed that with my Babyliss). I held both dryers in my hand and oddly enough, the Sedu seemed heavier. The Sedu does reach high speeds and I recommend using one of the nozzles it comes with to keep the air flow under control. The Sedu did make my hair silky and I didnt need to use my iron. Overall, I think this is a good dryer but not worth the money. I think you can achieve the same results from other professional dryers which are much less expensive. I do like this dryer and will keep it, but if I didnt receive it as a gift, I would probably return it for something less expensive.Apr 3, 2009Sedu Revolution / NJ

Is It Wrong To Love An Inadimate Object?I hope not because really, this is a hair-altering dryer and I LOVE it! I have fine curly hair, but a lot of it. I was prone to dry-out and frizz. My husband loves my hair and prefers it long. Fine, but I have 4 kids and not a lot of time to blow my hair out daily. Then of course theres the damage that comes w/ that. Not any longer. My husband tells me almost daily that he cant believe how much smoother my hair is and how much fuller it is! This is money he was more than happy I spent lol! If youre on the fence, I assure you, you will not be unhappy with this dryer- AT ALL.Apr 2, 2009Mommyjkec / Madison, CTHAIR TYPECurly Hair

Almost PerfectI bought this after returning the Solia dryer that everyone raves about. Im very happy with the Sedu so far. Ive had it for about a month now. Initially upon taking it out of the box, I couldnt believe how small and light this dryer is. Even the hubby thought it looked cool. Its almost as small as a travel dryer. I noticed some of the other reviewers saying that this was a heavy dryer. Are they crazy??? Anyway, I was also slightly skeptical upon initial inspection because it looked like it was used already. I guess that should be expected since Folica excepts returns and Im sure they just ship them right back out if they are not damaged. In any case, the dryer performs very well. I bought this model for the fact that you can turn on/off the ions, thereby giving you the option of styling for fullness (ions off) or for shine/defrizz (ions on). Since I have straight/fine hair, I choose to turn the ions off for fullness. I was very impressed with the results after the first test drive. My hair was very full looking and very smooth and soft to touch. It really looked like I just had my hair done at the salon. As for design, Id be hard pressed to make any improvements. Its small, light, the controls are nested into the handle so theres no accidentally turning it off mid styling, the included concentrator nozzles snap on very securely and it has a very long cord. It isnt as hot as my old Babyliss Ceramix xtreme and it takes a little longer drying than the Babyliss, but maybe thats not such a bad thing. Do I think its worth $150 +?? Honestly, I dont think any dryer should be priced that high, but I dont regret it. Id give 5 stars if it was more reasonably priced.Mar 25, 2009Cure44 / Staten Island, NY

Not Worth The HypeI have used this for about a month and now can post a review. This hair dryer is very heavy compared to other tourmaline ionic dryers and very loud. Also, the cord is extremely long. As far as the performance of the dryer, I would give it mixed reviews. It does dry fast but so does my conair ionic 1875 which I paid $24.99 for. Also, my hair has much static after using the sedu. I was really hoping that the majority of the positive reviews would hold true but it was not worth buying this heavy, loud, expensive hair dryer.Mar 10, 2009Emleigh / New York

I Just Got It....my First Pro Dryer (sedu)After years of leaving my hair curly, I wanted to go straight again. I never thought I would spend so much money on a pro dryer (even though I have always wanted one), I can totally see the difference, i have a conair that I spent 50 dollars on a few years ago and it really does not compare.I live in a very humid city and for right now the weather is great. I hope it works during the summer. In the fall, I will post back and change my rating.....Thank you Folica, I ordered my blow dryer on saturday and received it wednesday. I cant wait to use it again.Mar 6, 2009Diana / Miami, FLHAIR TYPECurly Hair

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS232260
This white handle does NOT come with the screws.
This part works with the following brands: GE, Hotpoint & Kenmore.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
Sold individually.
Screws are NOT included.
Opened the microwave and locate the two screws that holds the door handle in place, unscrew the old handle then place the new handle make sure the orientation of the new handle is right.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
Removed the broken handle and replaced it with absolutely no problem. We thank you so much for having the part as we were sure we would have to buy a replacement microwave. This microwave was put into custom cabinetry so it was so great to be able to just purchase the handle!!!!!!!!
Two screws had to be removed. One exposed with microwave door open. The other screw is hidden behind a plastic band around the perimeter of the door. Using a thin bladed knife I pried out the band all around the entire door. It comes out easily. This exposes the second screw to be removed. Then replace the door handle with both screws and press plastic band into place.
1. I removed the top handle screw on the inside of the door (visible)2. I removed the plastic seal from around the glass window on the inside of the door (pried out with screw driver; comes out easily)3. I removed the lower handle screw on the inside of the door (hidden under the plastic seal)4. Replaced the handle and screws5. Re-installed the plastic seal6. Door works like new.I wasn't thrilled with the $65 cost (although PartSelect had the best price) but the ease of installation made me wish I had done it years ago. The buyer experience was OUTSTANDING. No problems. Rapid delivery. THANKS!
The handle is attached with two screws. The top screw is located on the inside of the door and is visible and unobstructed. The bottom screw however, is not visible, but is almost directly below the top screw. It is located behind a 1/2 inch wide plastic retainer that runs around the inside of the door. Simply pry the retainer from the inside of the door enough to access the screw. This would be the lower left corner of the retainer when looking at it from the inside of the door. I used a kitchen knife to pry the retainer loose and a phillips screw driver to remove the screws. The process is simple and takes about five minutes.
First I used a flat screwdriver to ply loose the gasket inside the door that holds the glass in place - just the half nearest the handle. You don't need to fully remove the gasket (this would let the glass fall out), just enough to expose the lower screw holding the handle. I removed both screws (Phillips head) holding the old handle and removed it. I replaced it with the new handle and attached the screws on the inside. Hand tighten until there is no movement of the handle. The gasket can be pushed and will snap into place.
I removed the top screw which is visible, and then by removing the plastic trim around the outer edge of the glass with a knife blade, I exposed the lower screw and removed it. I then replaced the broken handle with the new one and screwed it to the door. I then just as easily snapped the trim back in place.
I just followed the instructions that the other people had left and it was just as easy as they said it would be. Gotta agree with one guy, the handle was a little high on the price, but this has usually been the case with GE appliances!
On inside of door removed the exposed screw for the handle. Gently lifted the gasket to expose the other screw.On outside of door removed the attached broken pieces by unscrewing the screws from inside of door. Positioned the handle.Tightened the screws and resecured the gasket. and Done!!!
Removed a screw that was visible and used a knife to remove a plastic seal/trim from the inside of the door and around the glass of the door, just enough to expose 2nd screw, replace handle, and replace seal back. Lest than 5 minutes.
Pry out plastic flange on inside of door...exposing to two screws (top of handle/bottom of handle) that attached plastic handle to oven door.Removed the two screws and discarded broken handle..Placed new handle on outside of door and replaced the two screws that secure handle to door.Snapped inside flange cover in place...Repair completed...15 minutes...
Imagine the surprise on my daughter's face when she went to open the microwave and the handle broke in half! I called multiple places locally, and ten days was the soonest I could find the part. I went online and ordered from PartSelect....three days later we were back in business. Good job, guys! And I installed it myself! A single mom from Texas
I followed the instructions used by others about removing only a portion of the gasket - just enough to reveal the screws to remove. Five minutes later, I am finished.THIS SITE IS FANTASTIC! THE SERVICE WAS FANTASTIC! I ordered the product on a Wednesday morning and the next day I received it - and that wasn't overnight shipping!You get what you pay for - Parts Select is the best!
I unscrewed the top inside screw, pried the inner plate off with a butter knife revealing the bottom screw. Replaced handle, screws and plate. It was so easy for me because I read about it on your website. Otherwise, I had no clue!
THere are two screws holding the door handle. One is easliy accessed, the other is hidden.There is a plastice seal that needs to be removed from inside the door. Its about 1/3 of an inch wide and is on the inside of the door surrounding the glass. It is NOT on the jam but on the inside surface of the door itself. You need thin tool to begin to pry out the seal. Once the first section is loose the rest comes out easily. The hidden screw is easily accessible once the seal is out.Simply pop back in when done.

you are very welcome
I saw that you made one friend make sure that you say something on their comment wall and give them a gift, the best ones to give if you are wanting to build points are the ones that do not cost yoy any points so make sure you look before you give okay just like i did, you will get the hang of it, takes a little time but you will get the handle of it
i really do not know since at times they might not respond back for awhile look at the activity board again another person just accepted my invitation
also when you see mcConnell is making a new friend that is on the recent activity board right now go look and invite him I just did
the easiest was is when you see someone has made a friend click on that person name it will take you to their page underneath their profile picture there is an option and it will say do you want to add what evr the name is as a friend click on that takes you to another page there is a spot that says put your own message here backspace that whole stement and write something and then click on the top left red/blut button and then it will take you to the message page and it will tell you invitation successfully sent, or go to the leadeboard and start clicking on people pictures and do the same thing
i hope this helps you out if not just ask me what you do not understand okay

MISSION MATTERS: Sidewalk of Tears
St. Ignatius invites us to reflect on our actions from time to time to be able to learn how God is present or trying to direct our lives. This may be a good time for our own reflection as an institution about the response to the events of last week.
Some of our students, faculty and staff considered last Tuesday their own sidewalk of tears. Some of our fellow sons and daughters of Saint Louis University were forced from their comfortable and safe routines to the sidewalk of Lindell Boulevard. to watch the horror of the destruction of their homes. Some wept, some silently stared, all stood in helplessness and inability to understand why or how this could be happening.
Quickly they were joined by the curious, the observers, but also people like most of us looking for ways to help to lighten their burdens. St. Louis firemen and police quickly responded to ensure the safety of all. Like first responders throughout the world, they entered the burning building to make sure all the residents had escaped the ever-expanding flames, and to try to control and contain the damage. Forgetting their own safety, they searched for anyone who needed their help. Thank God, all people were safe and this is the real focus of our gratitude and prayers.
Almost as quickly, the SLU community responded. Unlike the professional first responders, members of our community began to search out members of our community to offer whatever assistance we could or simply to show they cared, they were standing with those unfortunates in this time. You could find the president, staff, faculty and fellow students trying to live the Mission of the University, our shared Mission, in the gritty reality of that smoke-filled sidewalk.
This came in many small, but really, huge acts. Four graduate students bought pizzas for fellow students they had never met before. For one faculty member it became real in driving to the scene, after seeing the smoke from across town, to search out some of his students. For a SLU student's mother, who was going to the Muny, it meant changing plans to stop by to offer her home to anyone who needed shelter. And for our University, it meant administration and staff, quickly preparing rooms in one of our residence halls and beginning to initiate responses that will continue into the weeks ahead.
So even as the building kept burning, sending smoke and more heat over this sidewalk of tears, there began to settle on all a blanket of care for others. This comforting has continued since then, and has expanded to people beyond our campus. Offers of assistance, contributions and help have come from all over St. Louis. Businesses, churches and individuals have opened their lives to try to comfort the residents who have lost almost everything in their lives-except, thank God, their lives. Saint Louis University offices have mobilized to cut through processes to get lives back together, and determine needs. The comforting blanket which began to be felt in the reality of Tuesday evening has grown.
We can all celebrate and feel grateful that we live and work in a community who cares for others, but we should not be surprised. Our mission is to serve humanity, whoever they may be, in whatever ways we can. This means that like the prophet Abraham, we are called to welcome the strangers in their time of need. This means, like Ignatius, we need to serve others even though we may not know them, or they have been shunned by others.
In the past week, we have seen and acted to support suffering members of our community. We have all shared, directly or indirectly, in reaching out to those in tears, physically or mentally, trying to show them we share their pain; we are with them. People at Saint Louis University and the City of St. Louis have shown how our Mission of serving others is lived in simple things. For this we need to celebrate and be grateful to God and all.
Let us resolve that we will not let our concern for others be only in the time of hurricanes, tornados or fires and disasters, natural or otherwise. Let us resolve to continue to search for ways to serve and care for all people, in all times, in their need.
To comfort those in tears, to accompany those in doubt and to give hope by our little actions; this is our Mission, serving all those with whom we share the sidewalks of our lives.
Paul Stark, S.J.

"I really wanted the sweet classic style and i'm glad i found them here. I'm actually not a toddler or youth; i just have small feet. They still came out to be a little big which ended up giving me a blister the first day i wore them. I think it's also just a matter of breaking new shoes in. Also, it makes a weird clunking sound when I walk, but I still like these shoes."

Why Precedent in Law (and Elsewhere) is Not Totally (or Even Substantially) about Analogy
Frederick Schauer
University of Virginia School of Law
August 2007
KSG Working Paper No. RWP07-036
Cognitive scientists and others who do research on analogical reasoning often claim that the use of precedent in law is an application of reasoning by analogy. In fact, however, law's principle of precedent is quite different. The typical use of analogy, including the use of analogies to earlier decisions in legal argument, involves the selection of an analog from multiple candidates in order to help make the best decision now. But the legal principle of precedent requires that a prior decision be treated as binding, even if the current decision-maker disagrees with that decision. When the identity between a prior decision and the current question is obvious and inescapable, precedent thus imposes a constraint quite different from the effect of a typical argument by analogy. The importance of this is not so much in showing the a common claim in the psychological and cognitive science literature is mistaken, but that the possibility of making decisions under the constraints of binding precedent is itself an important form of decision-making that deserves to be researched in its own right.

In a earlier post http://www.allthingschristmas.com/fo...ts-of-all-time! of mine posted on 7th May 2012 I posted that a new game had been announced based on the absolutely brilliant film The Avengers Movie in which I must say Iron Man was hilarious and the Hulk was Epic well today I can confirm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avengers:_Battle_for_Earth that the game has been released October 30th on the Xbox 360 and is a launch title for the next generation Wii U video game console.
You may not have played the Wii U before that is because the Wii U is the next generation of gaming from Nintendo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_u it takes brilliant, fun & iconic video game franchises such as Mario, Wario & Donkey Kong and gives them realistic, high definition, interactive, 3D & inspiring graphics & capabilities like the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3.
I have not played it but I anticipate with the quality titles that Nintendo has, the casual gamers catered for with a host of Wii style casual games & the hard-core gamers covered for with revolutionary next generation games that the Wii U will be explosive & the next big thing it gives per say the leap the ps2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD4NV0hfZhs took to the ps3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWNe2oXSLD4 this I am anticipating the Wii U will be THE biggest thing in video gaming history & there have been some big things.
Such as the leap from 2D 16 bit consoles such as the mega drive & SNES to 3D 32 bit & 64 bit consoles such as the 3DO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4TW_Zkm-NM and Atari Jaguar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxuna944dls & the leap from consoles such as Pong where you could only play 1 game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X53eJ8AWQ9Y (in black & white at that) to consoles such as the Fairchild Channel F http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXvpsmanhsk and iconic Atari VCS later known as 2600 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_XrIx2eUGc where you could play enough titles to fill a A4 piece of paper in size 12 times new roman font using Microsoft Word in colour!
To beat feats like that is no mean feat but I reckon the Wii U is revolutionary enough to do it. That's what I think people from all around the world let me know what you think, thanks Jake

We've all been there: You get a friend request from somebody you don't immediately recognize, and start thumbing through their photos for clues. If you've ever wished Facebook would make this kind of benign social "stalking" easier, you're in luck—they just did.
You see, Facebook recently made profiles more "contextual" on their iOS app. That means that like Google searches or other personalized experiences, Facebook profiles will now appear differently based on who's viewing.
"We wanted to know what people find useful when they look at their friends' profiles." says Facebook UX researcher Shivani Mohan. "And what do they not find very useful? When people are going to the profile of a person who is not their friend, we wanted to know the same thing."
To figure out the look and feel of these dynamic layouts, Mohan and her team did tons of user research, both digital and analog. Here's what they learned.
Participatory Design The Old School Way
To establish heuristics for making profiles more "useful," Mohan and her team first conducted some old-school user research. In an approach she describes as "participatory design," they actually handed users a pen and printout of a design mock-up and told them to mark it up like a grade school teacher. If somebody thought a given detail was irrelevant, they'd cross it out. If a desired piece of information was missing, they would scribble it in by hand.
For instance, many users wanted the option to call somebody if they were a friend (presuming they've provided their number). On the other hand, when looking at a stranger's profile, a call button would certainly be weird, but a box showing mutual friends might be useful. So participants in the study simply drew one in.
The team repeated this process, handing paper-based mock-ups of the new designs to user after user and asking them what information they sought when looking at other users' timelines.
"There were some really interesting things that came out of this research," says Mohan. "And they came out pretty loud and clear."
When viewing the profile of a non-friend, most participants wanted to know what they had in common with that person: shared friends, a common hometown or a past employer, for example. Thus, those types of details—called "snippets"—are front and center on the new timeline, beneath large swipeable photos that lets users quickly ascertain another important detail: what the person looks like.
Naturally, the desired experience changed considerably when people were asked what they wanted to see on the timeline of somebody they actually knew. For these people, the "snippets" area of the timeline will display a glimpse at their recent activity: a trip they recently took, what music they listened to, or an event they attended.
In a lot of ways, the new profile designs are analogous to bumping into somebody at a party in the real world: If they're a stranger, you try to find out what you have in common. If they're an old friend, you want to know what they've been up to lately. The questions you'd ask somebody at a party were exactly the kinds of things that people wanted to know in Facebook's user testing. And it shows.
"One thing that was surprising when we were doing the research was the unified consensus of the response that we got in terms of the features that we were considering," says Kyle Meyer, a product designer at Facebook. "We got the sense that people were clamoring for the same things."
One of the most universally in-demand features, says Meyer, was the ability to more easily browse through photos. Whether the person is a friend or non-friend, photographs are a uniquely effective way to understand who a person is, what their life is like, and how attractive they might be. And on mobile devices, there's no more natural and intuitive way to browse photos these days than by swiping one's finger across the screen.
Fine-Tuning The Research With Hard Data
The research that went into Facebook's new mobile timeline design wasn't all printouts and magic markers. As you might expect from a service with over 1 billion users—and the data they each generate—Facebook employs its share of hard numbers and user behavior analytics in its research.
"Any finding that we find either interesting or counterintuitive, we always check that with the product analysts to check our logs to make sure that it matches what we find in our research and then we move forward with that," says Mohan.
Users' insatiable appetite for photos, for instance, was probably something that was easy to confirm using aggregate user behavior analytics.
Once the results of in-person surveys are checked against some hard numbers, the design team builds working prototypes, which are tested by Facebook employees internally. This "dogfooding" process—fairly typical at companies like Facebook—lets the team work out the kinks before rolling the designs out to the public, who are notoriously sensitive about even the most subtle design changes.
"While interviews give us a good sense of what people they say they do, we immediately tie that back to what they actually do," says Mohan. "For example, if I repeatedly keep hearing in all of my interviews that people really want to see mutual information, we can actually go back and look across our logs of millions of people's data and see that, yes, most people overall are switching from mutual friends when they're looking at a non-friends profile."
When it comes time to unveil a project like this to the public, Facebook does it in stages. To ensure the changes had the desired result, the new mobile timeline designs were first rolled out to 2% of users and then expanded to a wider audience.
"We waited for the numbers to come back to make sure that we weren't moving numbers the wrong way and that the things that we expected to happen were happening," says Meyer. "We moved immediately to 100% because the numbers were in a very good place."

Suarez refutes diving claims
Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has refuted diving accusations which continue to be levelled in his direction.
- Related Content
The Uruguay international has earned an unwelcome reputation for going down too easily and admits the label makes him angry.
He said: "I insist I don't dive in the penalty area. This is my career and the bad reputation created around me is unjust.
"If you analyse the statistics I am one of the forwards who receives the most fouls and free-kicks. There always seems to be controversy surrounding me but I accept the referee's decisions - they are only human.
"I accept the criticism against me but many people attack me without reason. That doesn't please me but I try to do my best day by day."
Suarez has also spoken of his desire to bring success back to Anfield and claims to have no problem with shouldering the weight of striking responsibility under Brendan Rodgers.
He added: "Many times I play alone in attack but that's not a pressure to me. My mission is to play and to score goals for Liverpool.
"Liverpool are one of the top clubs in England and we are obliged to fight for all the titles, including the Premier League.
"This has become complicated because of results so far so we need to give our maximum in every match.
"Rodgers is a new coach and is normal that things will get better match to match. I'm confident it will work.
"My dream for this season is to make the top four. Our squad should be fighting against the biggest rivals in this division."

Directions to Kate ApartmentsAddress: Kej Marshal Tito, Ohrid, Macedonia
Average rating: 0%
Rooms from: US$ 22.41
Directions to Kate Apartments
Address: Street : ' Partizanska 24 Kej 1/3' Ohrid Apartment Kate is located in the very center of the city (30m. from the lake), near the Commercial Bank (see the map), on Partizanska Street, between hotels Royal and Palas. You can call or e-mail before arriving - time. Contact details will be in your confirmation email. If you are unsure of where you are, ask locals where is Commercial Bank, or contact me and I will come to meet you. Its possible to arrange transportation from or to Airport Ohrid or if you like we can pick you up from the bus station.You can call or e-mail before arriving - time. Airport pick up will be charged 2 euro per person. You can reach Ohrid easily by plane in Ohrid Airport, or its very close to Albanian border and Greece border so you can use Tessaloniki and Tirana airport to come here, its less than 4 hours driving from both directions. P.S. The bus station now is at new location. If you have some guide book as Lonely Planet the map is not correct. The bus station now is 1.5km from the city center if you like you can walk or take a taxi. If you take a taxi the price for the transportation should be under 1 euro (60 denars) to take you directly to my apartment. If you came by bus sometimes people will try to get you to go to another place or they are too pushy. This is a common problem and causes a lot of disappointment to the guests not used to this - so informing you in advance can help prevent this.

Dairy farmers' uprisings lead the way to a democratic world food system
David Miller
17th February 2016The increasingly militant protests by dairy farmers against low prices forced on them by the corporate 'free market' represent serious and effective resistance against the 'free trade' agenda being forced on the world by neoliberal governments, writes David Miller. They are the first steps to building a new global food system that respects food, people, culture and environment. more...
War crime? Israel destroys Gaza crops with aerial herbicide spraying
18th February 2016Gaza farmers have lost 187 hectares of crops to aerial spraying of herbicides by Israel hundreds of meters within the territory's borders. The action, carried out in the name of 'security', further undermines Gaza's ability to feed itself and may permanently deprive farmers of their livelihoods. It may also represent a war crime under the 1977 Protocol to the Geneva Conventions. more...
Arms, agribusiness, finance and fossil fuels: the four horsemen of the neoliberal Apocalypse
Colin Todhunter
15th February 2016The world is in the grip of a structural war against people, land, economies and ecosystems, writes Colin Todhunter. It is being waged by a quartet of organised criminal interests bent on monopolizing energy, money, food and violence across the globe. But a deep-rooted resistance against their 'neoliberal' doctrine of death and destruction is fighting back. more...
Beware the GMO Trojan horse! Indian food and farming are under attack
Colin Todhunter
11th February 2016Global oilseed, agribusiness and biotech corporations are engaged in a long term attack on India's local cooking oil producers, writes Colin Todhunter. In just 20 years they have reduced India from self-sufficiency in cooking oil to importing half its needs. Now the government's unlawful attempts to impose GM mustard seed threaten to wipe out a crop at the root of Indian food and farming traditions. more...
Organic agriculture, agroecology and the parallel reality of the GMO evangelist
Colin Todhunter
21st March 2016GMO enthusiasts insist that organic, agroecological farming could never feed the world, writes Colin Todhunter. But it has been feeding us all for millennia - and it's the only way to continue while enriching the soils and biodiversity on which all farming depends. As Mahatma Gandhi once observed, industrial agriculture is but a nine-day wonder. And its time will soon be up. more...
20 years ago today ... What have we learned since the GMO Flavr Savr tomato?
Pat Thomas
5th February 2015Two decades ago the world's first GM foods went on sale, writes Pat Thomas. The consumer flirtation with GMOs soon died away, yet the biotech industry has grown into a global behemoth, driving agricultural intensification and sending agro-chemical sales through the roof. It's time for us to take a stand once again and insist: there are better, healthier ways of growing food. more...
Disease may wipe out the world's bananas - unless we adopt agroecological solutions
Angelina Sanderson Bellamy, Cardiff University
7th February 2016Bananas are at the sharp end of industrial agriculture's chemical war on pests and pathogens, writes Angelina Sanderson Bellamy. But even 60 pesticide sprays a year isn't enough to keep the diseases at bay. It's time to seek new solutions with little or no use of chemicals, working with nature, growing diverse crops on the same land - and breaking the dominance of the banana multinationals. more...
From salt to GMOs - resistance is fertile
Colin Todhunter
1st February 2016How can progressive movements rise above merely being right, to mount effective mass opposition to corporate rule and the dictatorship of the super-wealthy?

Colin Tudge
28 January 2016Colin Tudge reports on The College of Real Farming and Food Culture; a project designed to tackle the current issues in global food production.

From banks to food banks: money, inequality and the price of food
Colin Tudge
26th February 2016From banks that are too big to fail, to food banks for the too small to matter, the global econom systematically pumps money from the social economy and the poor up into the hands of a tiny minority of wealthy beneficiaries, writes Colin Tudge. Farmers, trapped between mountains of debt and low food prices, are among the main victims. It's time for a big rethink, starting from first principles. more...
From shelf to skip: food waste and the culture of rush
Diana Moreno
20th January 2016A third of all food that's produced in the world is thrown away. What's going on? Diana Moreno finds some answers in her own experience working in a German supermarket. Leading the list is the mind-numbing 'culture of rush' that permeates high-volume, low margin retailing, and which subjects workers and customers alike to the soul-less logic of the production line. more...
Polish government backs small farmers' and food sovereignty
Julian Rose / ICPPC
25th January 2016Since Poland's new government was elected last October it has moved to protect the country's 1.3 million small farmers, writes Julian Rose.

Oceans running out of fish as undeclared catches add a third to official figures
Christopher Pala
19th January 2016The global catch of fish and seafood is falling at three times the rate reported by the United Nations and urgently needs to be slowed to avoid a crash, reports Christopher Pala. The finding comes in a new study for Nature which quantifies the huge illegal industrial fish pillaging taking place around the world, together with artisanal catches, which in 2010 added over 50% to UN estimates. more...
Damming the Mekong - the myth of 'sustainable hydropower'
Tom Fawthrop
16th January 2016Dam builders have a new mantra, writes Tom Fawthrop: 'sustainable hydropower'. Repeated at every opportunity, it is based on the unproven idea that large dams can be made 'sustainable' by promising future 'mitigation'. And so it is at the Don Sahong dam in Laos which is about to devastate the mighty Mekong and the 60 million people who depend on it for food and livelihood. more...
TTIP: the downfall of European agriculture?
Dario Sarmadi / EurActiv.de
14th January 2016The TTIP 'trade agreement between the US and the EU would devastate EU farms as it opens them up to competition from larger, less regulated US operations, writes Dario Sarmadi. This is the conclusion of a new study to be published tomorrow, which also finds that small-scale farmers would be the first to go - with the big winners the large agri-food corporations. more...
Food industry must get behind 'right to know' on GMO
Carey Gillam
5th January 2015The citizens 'right to know' campaign about GMOs has put the food industry on the defensive, big time, writes Carey Gillam. But that only creates the impression they have something to hide. if GMOs are as great as they claim, they should be only too glad. It's time they switched sides and got with the people they feed. more...
Venezuela's 'people as legislators' ban GMOs, protect traditional seeds
William Camacaro, Frederick B. Mills & Christina M. Schiavoni
2nd January 2015A radical new Seed Law drafted by Venezuelan people, farmers and NGOs was signed into law in the closing days of 2015, write William Camacaro, Frederick B. Mills & Christina M. Schiavoni. Striking back against the corporate takeover of seeds and peddling of GMOs, the Seed Law bans transgenic seeds, protects the country's germplasm, and establishes the legal foundation for a participatory, agroecological food and farming system. more...
Can eating less meat really tackle climate change? (Yes)
Mike Berners-Lee, Lancaster University
27th January 2016Meat is responsible for about 30% of all 'wasted calories', writes Mike Berners-Lee, so with food causing a third of all greenhouse emissions, eating less meat is one of the most effective things we can do to reduce our climate impact. But no less important is to switch from high to low-impact meats - and to do all we can to cut food waste in our kitchens. more...
Monsanto on trial for crimes against nature and humanity
Pavlos Georgiadis
6th December 2015Monsanto was accused of 'crimes against humanity and the environment' at COP21 in Paris this week, writes Pavlos Georgiadis. And now the evidence against it is being gathered for presentation at a 'Monsanto Tribunal' taking place next October in The Hague. more...
It's time to celebrate and protect the soils that feed us!
Peter Melchett
4th December 2015Almost all our food is grown in soil, writes Peter Melchett. Yet we are treating it like dirt: spraying it with toxic chemicals, depleting vital nutrients, and releasing its carbon to add to climate change. With World Soils Day coming up tomorrow, let's change our ways - and renew our commitment to organic food and farming. more...
As Indonesia burns, its government moves to increase forest destruction
William Laurance, James Cook University
24th November 2015'No deforestation' pledges by global food corporations are yielding results, writes William Laurance. But now the Indonesian and Malaysian governments are calling on them to abandon their promises - even as the region's rainforests go up in smoke, cleared for new oil palm plantations. The companies must hold firm to their commitments. more...
The march of the industrial mega-dairy - is this the future of milk?
Andrew Wasley
23rd November 2015As falling milk prices push dairy farm out of business, new mega-dairies and feedlot operations of 700 or more cows are filling the void, writes Andrew Wasley. Never mind the pollution, slurry lagoons, and heavy plant on country lanes - do we want the cows that produce our milk confined to sheds? And what's the future for traditional dairy farmers with small, well cared for herds? more...
Sustainable palm oil? RSPO's greenwashing and fraudulent audits exposed
Chris Lang / REDD Monitor
19th November 2015A new investigation of palm oil plantations, companies and auditors has found that the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil is failing to deliver on its promise, writes Chris Lang. Widespread fraud, collusion between auditors and companies, conflicts of interest, and a flawed complaints system mean that RSPO-certified palm oil may be destructively and illegally produced. more...
Regulators and retailers must stop 'next generation' GMO imports
Helen Wallace
20th NovemberA new wave of 'next generation' GM crops resistant to multiple herbicides, may be approved for import into the European Union, writes Helen Wallace, even though the health impact of the herbicide combinations is unknown. Regulators and retailers must refuse to authorise these GMOs or allow their use in any part of the food chain. more...
Seaweed on the shore, seaweed in the kitchen
Fiona Bird
26th November 2015Fresh or dried wild seaweed may be on sale in a supermarket near you, writes Fiona Bird.

Once a poverty food, seaweed is now a sought after ingredient that expresses the 'fifth taste', umami. more...

The Newton Boys
McConaughey, Hawke, Ulrich and D'Onofrio make a handsome lineup in this cops-and-robbers flick, based on the real-life story of four brothers who made a successful living robbing banks and trains in the 1920s. The Newton Boys is old-fashioned renegade fun that has you rootin' for the shootin' guys in the black hats. Writer/Director Linklater, who's known for contemporary buddy movies about slackers (Dazed and Confused, Slackers), has pulled off the Western period piece with charming style.

Obviously no one game will beat WoW, but with the level of competition for WoW in the near future, and taking into consideration how disappointed a lot of WoW players are becoming with the content, I think WoW has run its course and has begun what will be a very long and drawn out end.
Originally posted by Pantheos
WoW isn't hurting the game industry. It's not. Honest. What's hurting the game industry is companies being unable or unwilling to try something new. Nobody wants the next WoW as a gamer, if we wanted WoW we would play WoW. That's something the companies just don't seem to get at all and it's really unfortunate.
The catch-22 is that when any company tries something new, it gets shot down for not being like Warcraft.
"I actually have to pay attention? This game is so phail! Time for me and my e-friends to go to every message board in existence (on several alts) and declare this new game a failure so it will make people believe it and they won't give it a chance."
"It takes me more than 3 days to hit max level? This game is so phail! Time to round up the gang!"
Eh. It is what it is.
It's not as much deviation from WoW's formula, as much as the entire MMO playerbase is sick of themeparks.
Vanilla "felt" vaguely sandbox (though it was cleverly disguised, on rails play.)
None of the other MMO released since '04 do.
community comes from players helping each other more than anything else

thats one thing GW2 encourages in abundance
In the GW2 Beta, you had to actually force yourself to realize you can like being around other people now. You can be generous, patient, and enjoy the company of fellow adventurers. They cannot kill steal, ninja-loot, or bogart your nodes. All they can really do is help you. and increase your enjoyment of the game.
No, but because there is no "Grouping loyalty", i can let them do all the heavy lifting and even use them as a meat shield for my own agenda.
Doesn't encourage loyalty in the community imo.
Sadly, the thing that keeps WoW around and unfaced seem to be the overhyping gaming communities. Many of them yell diffrent stuff at any Expansion (WoTLK-player ), but actually only manage to show their total refusal to read the basics... Kung Fu Panda has nothing to do with pandas and monk's coming to WoW.
Blizzard tries to keep the game fresh, while suprising and overdoing the last Xpac. Taking any ingame race would be just copying the last one (Goblins and Worgens), and most importantly, would make "Vanilla" players uproar. And because of no new class they decide to include one, and make it new(-ish). Monk does change things enough...(Still Click & Numbers, sorry fanboys)
The Asia influence is partly due to Blizzard not using those themes, but it also is a bow to asian players. Anyone who watches the news regarding WoW might notice some issues with China...
Pokemon... I have nothing to counter it But it is just a mini-game, and therefore not a big deal
I'm agreeing with the community things, whenever i come back to WoW there are always friendly and cheerful people in my guild
Other games rarely achieve this,again, partly because of the hype. There will be more casual players, and more negative b*tches = when someone asks something they will be shot down in flames.
IF any MMO gets variety of players, who are helpful and friendly game will form a community.
All this BS about WoW killing actualy makes decent or better quality MMO's rarer, since there is that little fear of being named "WoW killer of 20XX"
So, i might've written a too long and offtopic message so the main points:
1.Pandarians and Monks aren't connected to Kung Fu Panda-series in anyway (maybe easter eggs somewhere ?)
2. Asian style and Pokemon are because it's something that Blizzard hasn't and needs to do.
3.Community=Players, Good Community=Long living game
(English isn't my 1st language, errors and such are likely )

Meh...I played the original WOW and went back after each expansion, but atleast right now I don't even feel a twinge of desire to return. The panda thing does not call to me.
I bought each expansion on release and played them for a couple of months. MoP offers nothing interesting to me. I think the only think to get me back at some point is a B2P model or maybe a Burning Legion expansion where we go to finish them off at their homeworld. They are the only baddy left that's interesting.

Is Diablo3 going to change consumer expectations? I mean, ignoring PvP and raiding for a moment, D3 takes the concept of spending your life on a gear grind with lots of sounds and animations and perfects it. Going back to WoW, don't players notice the sheer amount of time you spend holding the W key, waiting for something to happen, how monster fights are uniform aggro-and-grind? In short, one main thing that makes WoW addictive is now in competition with a more addictive version of the same gameplay. How will this competition alter WoW? (or am I just wildly overestimating the impact in my imagination?)
The reason I like D3 type games more than WOW is that WOW puts up false barriers to progression. Once you finish a raid you have to wait a week to try it again. You also have to schedule time out of your night to group with other people to get the best gear. Neither appeals to me anymore.

Well said, the mere fact Gw2 is free, that the main fact why it won't hurt wow sub numbers.
I hate that naive approach. How many people play two MMOs at the same time? Not a lot if at least one of them has a subscription. Sub free MMOs can certainly take subscribers away from sub based games. People don't have infinite time to play and casual players can't really make progress playing two at once.
Lots of people unsub to WOW to play other MMOs for a while. they just have a crazy churn rate, and they don't release separate US/EU sub numbers. that means we don't know how many actual monthly subbers have left only to be replaced by pay as you play asians in their totals.

i agree - a new conflict with Sargeras would have me returning
I am looking at WoW as a product like any other.
Products have something called Product Life-Cycle.
These life cycles are of different length for different products.
Blizzard managed to create a product with a very long product life-cycle considering the nature of the product. I think they kind of exceeded their own expectations.
These product life-cycles have 4 stages (disregarding R&D stage): Introduction, Growth, Maturity, Decline.
You could see that the number of WoW subscriptions kept raising until sometime in 2010 (at least I think, might be 2011, not important.) it reached 12 mil. subs, stood there at 12 mil. for some time and then started to decline.
In my opinion, WoW is now at late maturity or early decline stage. From now on, it is, in my opinion, almost impossible for their numbers to raise above the peek which was 12 mil. subs. They are doing their best to attract ex wow players, keep current players in the game for as much time as possible, so that they postpone the inevitable end. The absolute end may come decades from now since I believe that there will still be some community, some players that will keep playing this game even in 2020 or later (maybe several hunder thousand people).
I would say it is probable (I am almost sure, but that is my personal feeling) that it will not be a new MMO that will "kill" wow as many people tend to claim before major MMO releases. It may happen if a new and I mean NEW like true next gen MMO gets released (imagine some TV being a top selling product and new TV based on completely new technology is for sale and all people start to buy that...like CRT and LCD monitors the life cycles of which are shorter, so it is not such a good example), but I do not see such on the horizon (ArcheAge being the closest in my eyes, but it is probably too niche to attract millions of players). Much more likely it is that WoW will simply go through its decline stage of its product life cycle until it stops declining and remains an old school MMO with relatively small player base.
I expect Blizzard to release their project Titan several years from now when WoW is much further in its decline stage. Maybe at half of current subs or something like that. There is no point, in my opinion, in releasing Titan now since WoW still holds like what 10m subs?
