LIGHTFORM: Your projects focus mostly on designing spaces for living, and we want to know what the most important considerations are when lighting living spaces.
Lighting must have a purpose, so when implementing any design, we imagine how the end users will be living, entertaining, working etc. and create the corresponding mood accordingly. Often, a significant amount of time can be spent to ensure that the fixtures chosen are perfect. They must mesh with the concept and persona of the space and typically create that little bit of eye candy we inject into each space.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas – Forrestine Knowles has never been to her bank. Instead, she whips out her tablet or smart phone and logs on to her bank's app.
"I use it for everything," she said. "It sends me text messages to tell me my account balance and how much I spent in certain categories for my budget."
By the end of this year, an estimated 43 percent of bank customers will be using mobile devices to bank on the go.
Marilyn Gallindo likes the convenience of banking by iPhone app.
"I like checking my balance so I don't spend too much money," she said.
Many banks now offer mobile apps as a way to check balances, transfer funds, pay bills and even deposit checks.
"The thing to do is always be a skeptic and always be thinking, 'How am I connecting to the network to begin with?'" said Larry Thompson, associate director at the University of Texas at San Antonio Center for Infrastructure Assurance and Security.
Bank apps are the most direct link between the device and the bank.
However, before downloading a bank app, the customer should make sure it's the real deal and not a fake. Check to be sure the developer of the app is the one your bank says it is.
"Make sure you know how you area connected to the Internet," Thompson said. "One way you can be connected and be relatively secure to to be connected through the carrier's actual network."
That means using your carrier's cellular data plan.
"That connection is encrypted, and it's much more difficult to be able to intrude upon and sniff the traffic and get information on it," Thompson said.
While public wi-ii is convenient, Thompson called it the worst option for mobile banking.
"If I'm in the coffee shop (or any location with public wi-fi) I could set up my own network to look like the coffee shop's network," he said. "So now here you are, you are connecting to a network I set up in the coffee shop that has a nice strong signal and you're very happy. But, everything that goes back and forth, it's like me standing in the middle of you and your bank and everything you want to tell your bank, I get to find out about first."
When connecting to any wireless network, Thompson said to be deliberate and choose one you know is secure. Do not, he said set up your phone or tablet to automatically connect to the strongest signal.
Perhaps the biggest threat to a mobile banker's security is with the phone or tablet itself.
Consumers should keep a password screen lock on it, have a remote wipe program so you can delete data if the phone is lost or stolen, and protect the device just like you would your wallet or credit card.

If you want a good shot at a job after graduation, don't follow these degree paths.
Dead ends suck. They usually result in a lot of frustration, extra time, and back-tracking to get on the proper path. Education can be like that. Choose the wrong degree and finding a job after employment can seem more difficult than navigating the streets of a foreign city without a map.
This is especially true if you're an "older" student (25 and up) who's going back to school to improve or change your career. Sure, your heart may be saying, "Finish that 19th century literature degree," but your head – and a lot of research – is saying, "Find a practical degree that will pay the mortgage."
With that in mind, we checked out a 2012 study on the unemployment rates for recent (ages 22 to 26) college graduates in various majors by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce. The report is appropriately named "Hard Times: College Majors, Unemployment and Earnings: Not All College Degrees Are Created Equal."
The report offers many encouraging words for prospective students: "A bachelor's degree is one of the best weapons a job seeker can wield in the fight for employment and earnings."
Sounds great, but a little further comes the real kernel of wisdom: "The risk of unemployment among recent college graduates depends on their major." In other words, not all educational streets lead to Employment City. And yes, that's their bolding, not ours.
So if you're thinking of going back to school but are unsure about what to study, read on for some degrees that are a dark alley to nowhere and a few more that look like a well-lighted expressway to the career world.
Dead-End Degree #1: Architecture
Recent College Graduate Unemployment Rate: 13.9 percent
Here's a degree that probably was the equivalent of a superhighway – right up until the entire housing and commercial real estate markets crashed.
In fact, the Hard Times report blames the high unemployment rate of architecture degree holders squarely on the recession: "Unemployment rates for recent college graduates who majored in architecture start high at 13.9 percent and, due to its strong alignment with the collapse in construction and housing, unemployment remains high even for experienced college graduates at 9.2 percent."
Let's hope that turns around soon. Until then, architecture grads may not be seeing a lot of their dreams become reality.
Of course, if you're set on pursuing that dream, a few typical courses offered in an architecture program are architectural design, building methods and materials, architectural history, and structural design, according to the College Board, a nonprofit research organization that promotes higher education.
Expressway Degree #1: Engineering
Recent College Graduate Unemployment Rate: 7.5 percent
If you're the type who loves to figure out how things work or devise ways to make them work better, engineering could be a good direction.
The Hard Times report found that not only did engineering grads have a good shot at employment, but "[e]ngineering majors lead both in earnings for recent and experienced college graduates followed by computer and mathematics majors, and business majors."
Curious how experienced engineering grads fare with jobs? The report found an unemployment rate of just 4.9 percent. Not bad.
Click to Find the Right Engineering Program.
Before you rush into engineering classes, know that there are many different areas of engineering. Civil engineering programs, as one example, offer courses like engineering economics, strength of materials, dynamics, and fluid mechanics, says the College Board.
Dead-End Degree #2: Fine Arts
Recent College Graduate Unemployment Rate: 12.6 percent
No one expects you to be dining out regularly on filet mignon right after graduation, but this major's high unemployment rate suggests that you may not be dining out at all.
In fact, the Hard Times study found that unemployment rates are generally higher in non-technical majors, such as the arts, humanities and liberal arts, and social sciences. It should be noted that fine arts majors with experience or a graduate degree in the subject did better, both with an unemployment rate of 7.3 percent.
Expressway Degree #2: Elementary Education
Recent College Graduate Unemployment Rate: 4.8 percent
If you want to help mentor the next generation, and enjoy being around kids, a bachelor's in elementary education could be the first step toward a smart career choice.
According to the Hard Times report, education majors had a low unemployment rate because the degree was tied to a stable or growing industry sector.
The U.S. Department of Labor also has some ideas as to why the field might be growing: "A significant number of older teachers is expected to reach retirement age from 2010 to 2020. Their retirement will create job openings for new teachers." Just keep in mind that, per the Department of Labor, this growth will vary by region, as some areas of the country have a surplus of teachers.

If this route sounds good to you, here's what the College Board says your class list might look like in a general education program: educational psychology, instructional technology, teaching methods, and philosophy of education.
Dead-End Degree #3: Information Systems
Recent College Graduate Unemployment Rate: 11.7 percent
This major was the anomaly among the computers and mathematics field, being the only one in double digits. Why? The report didn't say.
But the report did offer these hopeful words: "Computer majors are likely to bounce back strongly as the recovery proceeds. For example, the unemployment rate for recent college graduates who major in information systems is a hefty 11.7 percent, but only 5.4 percent for experienced workers who major in information systems."
Here's an assortment of classes the College Board says you might take for a management information systems major: database design, ecommerce, managing information systems, systems analysis and design.
Expressway Degree #3: Computer Science
Recent College Graduate Unemployment Rate: 7.8 percent
In this tech-crazed world there's a lot for employers to like right in the title of this bachelor's degree.
Maybe that's why the Hard Times report found a pretty low unemployment rate for these grads. How low? How does 7.8 percent sound for odds?
Click to Find the Right Computer Science Program.
If those numbers compute for you, here's a printout of some typical classes the College Board lists for this major: artificial intelligence, digital system design, software engineering, or computer system organization.
Dead-End Degree #4: Anthropology and Archaeology
Recent College Graduate Unemployment Rate: 10.5 percent
Important? Yes. Interesting? Definitely. Practical? Um, two out of three ain't bad?
The relatively high unemployment rate for this major definitely caught our eye. At a 10.5 percent unemployment rate, the job prospects for recent anthropology and archeology grads just don't look that good. The one silver lining is that graduate degree holders in this field experience a much less daunting unemployment rate of 4.1 percent, according to the report.
Still, if you must go down this dirt road, here's the lineup of possible classes for anthropology majors, according to the College Board: forensic anthropology, human origins and evolution, language and culture, and primate behavior.
Expressway Degree #4: Nursing
Recent College Graduate Unemployment Rate: 4.0 percent
We have a winner, folks. At least, according to the Hard Times study, which found the group with the lowest unemployment rate among recent college graduates to be those holding a bachelor's in nursing.
And assuming that most nursing students who are employed are indeed nurses, this makes sense. Consider the fact that registered nurses also top the U.S. Department of Labor's list of "Occupations with the largest numeric growth," with 711,900 jobs projected to be added between 2010 and 2020. All that and you get to help people, too.
Click to Find the Right Nursing Program.
Study this degree and the College Board says typical coursework could include anatomy and physiology, adult nursing, health assessment, nutrition, or pharmacology.

Jairus are a Kentish five-piece whose relatively low profile hasn't prevented them trekking to many a corner of the world – the band, together since 2001, have crammed into a van long enough to see the sights of Eastern Europe, have visited Scandinavia, and have even ventured as far as Japan. That picture to the right was taken in Tokyo, no less.
This weekend, though, the Big Scary Monsters 'signed' outfit (their last EP, a self-titled effort, was released through the Oxford-based label) will be performing a little closer to home – they're to headline DrownedinSound.com's DiScover Club at the Notting Hill Arts Club, click here for full details. The band – Adam Bray (vocals), Dan Lucas (guitar, piano), James Gillet (guitar), Mike Ager (bass), and Symon Minter (drums, electronics, samples) – have attracted comparisons to the likes of Refused and Mogwai in previous reviews. That kind of company makes DiS very excited indeed, and so excited were we that we fired some DiScover-style questions the way of Lucas, who kindly responded as follows…
When'd the band get together, and where? What were you doing beforehand, musically or otherwise?
Jairus formed in October 2001 – we were all aged 19 and had all been in various bands for years. The only one that became moderately successful was Dead Life Portrait, the band Symon played drums for prior to Jairus. Aside from being musicians, it was your typical story of people at that age: college students with something to say, aching to make a difference and create the band we 'wish' existed!
You released a self-titled EP on BSM - happy with how it was received? Was it your first release, or are there other records readers should be checking out?
Yes, the EP was released last November, it was as well received as we hoped it would be, as it's slightly more diverse than our first album The Need To Change The Mapmaker, which is still available on Skipworth Records. We thought we may lose a few fans as it's slightly harder to get into than the previous record, but the general consensus is that most people actually embraced the slight progression, which is exactly what we had hoped for. After all, nobody likes it when people expect a band to sit in the same rut for their entire career.
Your live show: would you say this is the ideal place to witness Jairus, or is the band as comfortable in a studio as it is on stage? Have you been able to play with many bands you've particularly admired?
It's definitely a different experience seeing Jairus live – we're a much heavier live band than we are in the studio. They're two different worlds in fact: as a live band, Jairus are extremely raw and intense, as we all find it kind of boring when you see a band live and they sound exactly like the CD. Live, I think Jairus are a bit more punk-rock than in the studio: it's just kind of turn up, very rarely sound check, and play loud! We spent the first three years or so playing hardcore shows after all! As for playing shows with bands we admire, we've shared the stage with Girls Against Boys, Last Days Of April, Shai Hulud – bands we all love. My personal favourite experience was doing some weekend shows with Unwed Sailor two weeks ago though, as they're one of my favourite bands ever!
What sort of comparisons do you attract? A listen to your MySpace songs doesn't lead to anything obvious, and your cited influences are fairly diverse...
Jairus have been compared to 'elements' of a lot of bands, but nobody's every really been able to say "Jairus sound like this band...". Pink Floyd, At The Drive-In, Mogwai, Pelican, The Casket Lottery, Joy Division: that's a list of some comparisons that crop up often!
Have you heard any of the other bands you're doing RoTa with before? Looking forward to seeing them? Future release plans... what's coming up?
I've not heard of any of the bands that are playing on Saturday I'm afraid, but I checked out Blood Red Shoes and really liked them. We're looking forward to playing though, as last time we played there, in January, it was awesome. Future plans include our new album, which we're halfway through writing. That will be released on BSM next year, and we're filming our first video in three weeks! The song for the video 'If There's An Art To Cowardice, You Must Be Picasso' will be available on our MySpace page and website by early next week!
Jairus play the DiScover Club at Notting Hill Arts Club, London, THIS Saturday, October 21. Also appearing live are They Don't Sleep and Blood Red Shoes. For full gig details please click here. Jairus' MySpace page is here, and their website proper can be found here.

Much Ado about Nothing
Science closes in on why there is something
instead of nothing
WHY IS THERE SOMETHING RATHER THAN NOTHING? This is one of those profound questions that is easy to ask but difficult to answer. For millennia humans simply said, "God did it": a creator existed before the universe and brought it into existence out of nothing. But this just begs the question of what created God—and if God does not need a creator, logic dictates that neither does the universe. Science deals with natural (not supernatural) causes and, as such, has several ways of exploring where the "something" came from.
Multiple universes. There are many multiverse hypotheses predicted from mathematics and physics that show how our universe may have been born from another universe. For example, our universe may be just one of many bubble universes with varying laws of nature. Those universes with laws similar to ours will produce stars, some of which collapse into black holes and singularities that give birth to new universes—in a manner similar to the singularity that physicists believe gave rise to the big bang.
M-theory. In his and Leonard Mlodinow's 2010 book, The Grand Design, Stephen Hawking embraces "M-theory" (an extension of string theory that includes 11 dimensions) as "the only candidate for a complete theory of the universe. If it is finite—and this has yet to be proved—it will be a model of a universe that creates itself." (continue reading…)

A running discussion on the Cincinnati Reds and everything else in the baseball universe.

Hot Stove Review: Edgar and Freddie
Fortunately (or is it unfortunately?), this should be fairly short.
Edgar Renteria signed a one-year contract worth $2.1M in base salary and an additional $900,000 possible in incentives
I'm not an Edgar Renteria fan, so let's get that out of the way up front. If you asked me to write up a list of shortstop options that I would have pursued this offseason, Edgar wouldn't even have made the list. For the record, Jed Lowrie was the guy I wanted, but his late season offensive production means that the Reds probably waited too long to get him. And, given the Reds reticence to spend (either prospects or money) to acquire impact talent, they were left with their choice of the retreads and stopgaps. So, that constriction is the framework under which this signing must be measured.
Now, all that said and despite all efforts to the contrary, I am having a hard time working up much angst over this signing. Evidently, I've either been placated by the first taste of postseason baseball in years or just started going soft in my old age. Either way, it just doesn't seem like an acquisition to get too riled up over.
I value defense more highly than most, so I view Paul Janish as the clear cut choice to start at shortstop. Of course, that's what I wanted to see last year as well. Obviously, that didn't happen and because it didn't, the Reds really have no choice but to have a legitimate fallback plan for shortstop in place.
Part of the problem with the Reds gifting so much playing time to an underwhelming O-Cab was that Janish was arguably more productive when you factor in both offense and defense. However, the remaining part of the problem with giving so many innings to O-Cab was that it precluded the Reds from getting an extended look at Paul Janish. And, without an extended look, it's damn difficult to properly evaluate Paul Janish.
As I think I wrote in the year-end review of the infielders, Janish had solid overall numbers (.723 OPS), but his splits were volatile and occasionally illogical (.554 OPS at home vs. .858 OPS on the road, .824 OPS during the day vs. .648 OPS at night, etc). Unfortunately, the sample size is just too small to draw any definitive conclusions. If that weren't the case, then the signing of a veteran insurance policy would be much less defensible.
So, the Reds need a fallback option. You could (quite effectively) argue that Zack Cozart would be a sufficient fallback option, but the baseball industrial complex has always preferred its security blankets to have a lot of mileage on them.
Was Edgar the right fall back option? I think it's debatable. The type of production he will provide isn't exactly a mystery. It will be fairly minuscule. He should get a bit of a boost from Great American Ballpark, which is a real tonic for aging righthanded hitters (i.e. Rich Aurilia, Joe Randa, etc), but Edgar will be just a tick above replacement level. As for defense, Edgar will likely be a notch below O-Cab. So, the aggregate production will undoubtedly be uninspiring.
If they were willing to pay that kind of cash, why not just bring back Orlando Cabrera?
The Reds had a $4M mutual option on O-Cab, which cost them $1M to buy him out. So, the total cost of replacing O-Cab with Edgar will be between $3.1M and $4M ($1M buyout of O-Cab + $2.1M base salary with possible $900K in incentives). So, there are two possible outcomes to switching from O-Cab to Edgar.
First, Edgar won't perform well enough to justify enough playing time to reach the incentives, so the Reds will save $900K. Second, Edgar performs well enough to justify the playing time necessary to reach the incentives, so he'll cost exactly the same as O-Cab's $4M but probably provide better production. Either outcome represents an upgrade over O-Cab at his option price.
In essence, by switching from O-Cab to Edgar, the Reds ensured either better production or cost savings. Of course, it's entirely possible the Reds could have brought back O-Cab for less money or found a different veteran option. But, all in all, Edgar seems to fill the role that the Reds covet, that of the "veteran insurance policy", sufficiently, so maybe it IS worth the loss of continuity and intangibles to justify going from O-Cab to Edgar.
Of course, it's still not way I would have gone.
Freddie Lewis signed a one-year, $900,000 base salary with possible incentives
Now, here is a signing I can support, the second cousin of the perennially underrated Matt Lawton. I've been a fan of Fred Lewis for a number of years and I'm glad to see him get an opportunity with the Reds.
Lewis is a good athlete with a nice blend of skills. He has some pop and can swipe some bags. He covers a lot of ground in leftfield and has a patient approach at the plate. He also has a smooth lefthanded swing that should get a nice boost from the Great American Ballpark. All in all, Lewis has a lot of attributes that you look for in a ballplayer.
However, Lewis will likely split the fan base for one simple reason. He just doesn't seem to possess great baseball instincts. For example, despite his good range in the outfield, he is prone to making errors and his routes to the ball aren't always the best. As a result, people who watch him play frequently believe him to be a below average outfielder. Additionally, despite his good speed his stolen base success rate simply isn't that impressive. He gets nabbed more often than one would expect, as evidenced by his 74% career mark. In short, he's just not a very good percentage player.
Regardless, even with a few missteps and a bit of inefficiency in translating his tools into production, there is more than enough production left to justify his acquisition. In 2010, Lewis hit a respectable .262/.332/.414/.745 with 8 homers and 17 stolen bases for the Blue Jays. And, for his career, his line is .272/.348/.418/.766, so if anything he could do better in Cincinnati. Lewis could very easily become the best leadoff hitter the Reds have had in a number of years. And, the more ducks on the pond for Bruce and Votto, the better.
Overall, Lewis is a very good risk/reward acquisition and one that is MUCH more likely to pay off than Edgar Renteria. There should be very little to prevent Lewis from at least claiming the heavy half of a leftfield platoon with Jonny Gomes. And, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see him claim the job outright, though that seems unlikely with Dusty at the helm.
And, for those who want to get to know a little bit about Fred Lewis, I highly recommend this ESPN story about a tragic accident that has shaped his life. It's damn near impossible not to root for him to make good after reading the article.

sorry i havnt posted in a few days, housekeeping broke my laptop :(ReplyDelete
I LOVE the Lewis signing, anything that starts over gomes is an upgrade
Im not a fan of the Renteria signing, way too much money and he is way to old. I value defense about as much as you do and if he is worse than slocab... ouch.
Hopefully Cozart starts out the season on fire in AAA and they package Renteria for something of value to make room for him.
Lark what do you think about the few position battles we have this spring?
Im really interested to see if Hermida can beat out Heisey for the last outfield postion
Im holding out hope that Willis will impress enough in the spring so that walt and co think they can spare allowing Chapman to start in AAA
Wood or Leake? Im hoping for Leake honestly, last year he started out the best pitcher on the staff, then he became tired. If he starts out in AAA then your wasting his strong arm innings in games that dont matter. Wood can dominate AAA competition and when Leakes arm starts to tire he can replace him and still be effective for the rest of the year
I'd say we are all of like mind on these signings. Lewis is solid and potentially could be one of the better acquisitions of the offseason by any team. Renteria I am right with you on it's mostly a meh move and though I want to get riled up over it I can't for whatever reason. But I will say this, you really can't compare he and Ocab because Ocab wanted to start somewhere whereas Renteria is willing to take on a reserve role.ReplyDelete
I hope Paul has grown his hair long so he'll have somewhere to pull more strength from. I have him projected to have something like the following slash line .230/.300/.335 for a .635 OPS and that is being a smidge optimistic. And if Dusty sticks him in the 2 hole OMG, he'll be Paul Mendoza by the break.
As for Smitty's comments.
- Would love to see a minor but somewhat lengthy injury force their hand on Cozart starting at the big league level right off the bat. And him running with it and Wally Pipp Janish.
- I hope Heisey and Hermida both beat out Gomes, Heisey and Lewis is a much better platoon in every way.
- I could get behind Willis as a loogy if it meant Aroldis would log starters innings at Louisville. Doubt it happens though because I believe it was always in the Cards for Aroldis to stay in the pen once he found himself comfy there.
- Wood though I wish Leake too could make the team. I'm actually still holding out hope that Bailey somehow finds himself in another uniform come opening day, I just have no faith in him ever being that top of the rotation starter we had all hoped for, I don't think his stuff is good enough for that.
Not necessarily in that order but that is my best expectation of the rotation based on what I think may happen.
Agree on Fred Lewis. He could be a sneaky good value. He's raw, but also has a sweet swing and good athleticism. He might make up for the Reds otherwise standing pat.
As for Edgar, I find it difficult to believe that we could actually trade him for anything of value. If Cozart steps up and Edgar scuffles, then I'd say a DFA is much more likely a trade. Unfortunately, I don't see Edgar going anywhere unless he completely falls on his face.
As for the position battles, we don't have many.
I think it's rather unlikely that Hermida beats out anyone for a 25-man roster spot. He's on a minor league deal and simply hasn't proven he can hit at the MLB level. I suspect he'll have to go down to Louisville and light it up for a while before he's an option. His only chance is likely to be if the Reds feel the lineup is short on lefthanded hitters. Outside of that, I suspect he's gotta be ticketed for the minors.
As for Dontrelle, I'm still skeptical that he'll be able to contribute. Even if he does crack the 25-man, I don't think that sends Aroldis to the minors. I suspect that Aroldis spends the year in the majors and the bullpen. I think that ship has set sail.
As for the Wood/Leake/Homer battle, I think it's gotta be Wood and Homer. First, Wood was dominant last year and actually spent time developing in the minors. He's also ready to handle a full season workload. And, finally, he's the only lefty in the rotation.
As for Homer and Leake, Homer is out of options. That alone will likely land him in the rotation. Leake started strong, but could likely do with a bit of time in Louisville. Also, even now I'm not sure he's ready for a full season workload.
Obviously, the Reds like the idea of having pitching depth, so I think Leake has to be the odd man out. Wood was too good to send down and Homer still has too much potential to get rid of or send to the bullpen. So, Leake is left without a seat when the music stops.
Anyway, my $.02. Thanks for the comment!
Interesting that you, too, struggle to get too worked up about Edgar. Not sure why, but probably because it was an inevitability.
As for Cozart, I don't see him as being a better option than Janish at this point. Cozart wasn't great offensively in the minors last year, so I'd be more than a little nervous to hand him the starting gig out of the gates.
As for leftfield, I'm surprised that so many people are ready and optimistic on Hermida. I think he's a good option on a minor league deal, but I really need him to prove that he can hit before I give him a gig. Hermida has a nice line drive swing, but the sample size of his struggles is rather large. I'd make him earn his way to the majors.
On Aroldis, I tend to agree. If he's in the bullpen again this year, then I don't see him being shifted back to the rotation. It'll be similar to Neftali Feliz. He'll be an asset out of the bullpen and it'll be questionable whether he can succeed as a starter. So, the safe route will be to keep him in the pen. I just don't see Dontrelle having the enough juice to send Aroldis to the minors. I'd love to be wrong.
As for Homer/Wood/Leake, I agree that Leake is the odd man out. However, I don't think Homer's stuff is the problem, I think it's his attitude and mental fortitude. As I think I wrote in review of starting pitchers, I think there is something telling in Homer's injury and subsequent refusal to take a cortizone shot. Still, I don't think we can give up on him yet. I think we have to run him out there and give him another shot to produce. His trade value is nothing right now and he still has potential.
Anyway, thanks for the comment!

Special seals
In addition to the standard seal assortment, SNLN 30 housings are available, on request, with high-temperature seals, taconite heavy-duty seals with an axial labyrinth or custom seals for special applications.
High-temperature seals
For high operating temperatures, up to 250 °C (480 °F), high-temperature felt seals should be used. The felt seals can accommodate circumferential speeds up to 2 m/s. They are identified by the designation suffix CB, e.g. TSN 3024 CB.
Taconite heavy-duty seals with an axial labyrinth
Taconite heavy-duty seals with an axial labyrinth (TSN .. NC, fig. 1 or TSN .. NB, fig. 2) can be used under the same conditions as taconite seals with a radial labyrinth. The seals are greased via a hole in the housing cap. Therefore, they can only be used with housings with the suffix T (at the end of a shaft) or the suffix TD (for through shafts).
TSN .. NB seals have a V-ring. It limits the axial movement of the shaft relative to the housing to ±1,5 mm.
Specifications for the seals are listed in table 1.
Custom seals
SNLN 30 housings can be equipped with any type of seal that fits the seal groove dimensions in the housing. The relevant dimensions are provided in table 2.
Custom seals can be supplied by SKF. For additional information, contact the SKF application engineering service.

The White Sox were known to be targeting college pitchers, and they picked four of them to start their draft. BA's top-rated lefthander, slender strike-thrower LHP Chris Sale (1), fell to them at No. 13 overall. He had a 10-1 strikeout-walk ratio and could move quickly with his plus fastball and changeup and improved slider. He could be an absolute steal with a double-digit pick. RHPs Jacob Petricka (2), Addison Reed (3) and Thomas Royse (3s) give them three solid righthanded options, with Reed a potential fast riser if he moves back to a relief role. The position-player crop offers less upside, with hard-hitting junior-college 2B Joe Terry (8) and toolsy SS Tyler Saladino (7) the most intriguing prospects.
Here's BA's youtube video of Chris Sale.

Confession! I Peed Myself During Pregnancy. Is That Normal?
Sep 2012
Since this is my first post over here at The Bump Blog, I thought I'd introduce myself before I throw you into my fun habit of completely oversharing. I'm Jayne, a mother (of one sweet toddler boy and one baby girl due in December) and speech language pathologist by trade. I blog over at TheNaptownOrganizer about parenting, babies, fashion, a crunchy/green lifestyle, pregnancy, and all of the fun stuff going on in my life right about now.( If you like what you see here, feel free to head on over and check out more!) Now onto the fun part.
So, peeing your pants.
Have you done it? Raise your hand if so.
Yep, me too.
Most notably, during my first pregnancy, my husband and I were at a friend's house watching a football game when I sneezed, and inevitably peed myself. At the time, I was ridiculously embarrassed and told my husband I didn't feel well and we had to immediately leave. I completely confused and worried him and by the time we got out to the car, he was asking me if we needed to go to the hospital. I had to 'fess up at that point and tell him that I needed to change my pants, not have the baby.
But is this normal?
The American Physical Therapy Association (or APTA) states that stress incontinence or losing control of your bladder can be a result of pregnancy and childbirth, "which can put stress or pressure on the bladder and possibly cause trauma to the pelvic-floor muscles." They also mention that stress incontinence can be caused by having an episiotomy during labor as well.
Well, great. Add that to the fun list of things pregnancy does to your body!
There is good news, though. Incontinence is treatable. During pregnancy, doing Kegel exercises can help strengthen the sphincter muscles and get things back under control down there. Continuing to have difficulty with incontinence after the initial postpartum recovery period may warrant a call to your doctor and a visit to a physical therapist. By taking some therapy sessions, a therapist can treat specific problems and help you to steer clear of those Poise pads and get you back to jumping on your trampolines.
Thankfully, instances of peeing my pants ended after my son was born. However, they have returned as my baby-girl-to-be has somewhat of a penchant for kicking my bladder lately. Let's just hope with enough Kegels and some time after delivery, I'll be back to normal again — again!
Because, as per the movie Billy Madison, "If peeing your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis."
Have you had trouble with incontinence during or after pregnancy? What did you do about it?

Record Labels Lawsuit Against Vimeo Lipdubs Moves Forward, With Some Good News And Some Bad News
from the win-some,-lose-some dept
We've been covering the major labels' legal efforts against Vimeo for its encouragement of lipdub videos before (that these videos frequently help to promote songs and make them more popular isn't even something that the major labels seem willing to recognize). In a new ruling, a judge has allowed the case to move forward with an upcoming trial, thus rejecting a full summary judgment. The ruling contains a mix of good things and bad things. Let's explore a few of them
First, the court agrees that Vimeo in general is eligible to receive DMCA safe harbor protections. While the labels made a ridiculous effort to argue that Vimeo's policies against infringement weren't robust enough, the court notes that the law only requires a "reasonable" implementation of a policy. Basically, the labels complain that they don't like Vimeo's infringement policy, but the court notes (correctly) that the labels' disapproval of the policy doesn't invalidate the policy or take away Vimeo's safe harbor protections. In fact, it's nice to see the judge recognize that what's "reasonable" may change based on the state of the company itself, and the wider market:
The Court's finding of reasonableness is also informed by the evidence of Vimeo's business circumstances as they evolved during the relevant period. That is, the policies Vimeo implemented in the first several years of its operation, as described above, were reasonable ones in light of the fact that Vimeo was, at the time, a small service provider, the twenty full-time employees of which were tasked with processing only a trickle (zero to five) of takedown requests per month. The evidence reflects that as the flow of those requests increased, Vimeo's policy became more robust—first in the form of a "three strikes" rule and a blocked video list, implemented at some point after Vimeo's inception, and eventually in the form of the "Purgatory" tool, implemented later in October 2008. That Vimeo's enforcement mechanisms advanced in step with the realities of its growing business further supports the reasonableness of its implementation system.The court also rejects the silly argument that Vimeo's policy isn't good enough because it's not the same as YouTube's. The judge notes that this is a meaningless argument.
...simply because, as Plaintiffs point out, a YouTube user may earn two separate strikes for takedown notices received only three hours apart pursuant to a policy this Court has found to be reasonable..., it does not follow that Vimeo's somewhat more lenient policy (three days, rather than two hours), creates a factual issue as to the reasonableness of that policy.There's also a silly and somewhat ridiculous claim by the labels that because Vimeo lets people download the videos, they should lose their safe harbor protections. The court makes quick work of that argument:
Plaintiffs have provided no case law—and the Court is not aware of any—holding or even suggesting that a service provider must be denied DMCA safe harbor protection because it allows its users to download content.Because of all that, Vimeo is able to get summary judgment on 144 of the 199 videos that were included in the lawsuit. But that leaves 55 which will go to trial. Ten of those were uploaded by employees. That quickly gets into a gray area. The DMCA only protects companies against actions of their users; not actions by the company itself. But... is a random employee using the company's tools to upload an infringing video an action by the company, or by the individual as a user. Here, the court decides that the issue is at least a big enough gray area that it should involve a trial rather than summary judgment:
Here, Plaintiffs cite evidence that Vimeo employees serve as an "editorial voice" for the Website... and emphasize that the web pages displaying these videos indicated that the video was posted by a Vimeo employee. In all but two of the videos, the web page also included the employee's name.... Further, in several instances, a yellow box containing the word "STAFF"—the so-called "staff badge"—appeared next to the employees' user names, as it does for all actions taken by an employee on the Website.... Based on this evidence, Plaintiffs argue that the ten employee-uploaded videos may not fairly be characterized as stored at the direction of users but rather must be characterized as stored at the direction of Vimeo through common law agency principles.This seems somewhat reasonable. It is an unclear issue that could involve further discussion. From all appearances, it seems to me to be more like the MP3tunes situation, but I'm sure the RIAA and its supporters will argue the opposite. We'll see how it shakes out at trial.
In response, Vimeo directs the Court to Capitol Records, Inc. v. MP3tunes..., reconsideration granted on other grounds..., in which Judge Pauley concluded that the employees' personal use of the defendant's website could not be the basis of a direct infringement claim against the defendant... In MP3tunes, it was undisputed that executives and employees of the defendant website downloaded and stored music using the website.... Citing testimony that the employees "maintained private accounts and used MP3tunes lockers for their personal benefit," Judge Pauley denied summary judgment to the plaintiff on its direct infringement claim because "a genuine dispute exist[ed] as to whether any of the [] songs in question were downloaded by employees in the course of their employment." ...
On balance, it is less clear to the Court than it was to the court in Fung that a user would conclude that the employee-uploader was acting on behalf of the service provider. Reasonable minds could differ, as in MP3tunes, as to the extent to which the videos at issue here were uploaded by Vimeo employees in their personal capacities as opposed to as agents of Vimeo. Accordingly, a triable issue has been raised with respect to whether the employees were storing their content as "users" within the meaning of § 512(c) or as employees acting within the scope of their employment.
The ruling also has a pretty good discussion on the old question of "red flag knowledge." Here, the court is unpersuaded by the labels' argument that everyone should automatically know that these things are infringing:
Plaintiffs claim that Vimeo employees' interactions with these fifty-five Videos-in-Suit necessitates a determination that Vimeo had actual or red flag knowledge of the videos' infringing content. The Court disagrees. Despite the fact that these interactions are undisputed and that most, if not all, of the copyrighted songs used in the videos would be characterized by many as popular, and in some cases legendary—indeed, it is difficult to think of a song more iconic than The Beatles' "All You Need is Love"—the Court is not prepared to hold that this automatically compels the conclusion that the service provider, through its employees, was aware of facts and circumstances that would make it objectively obvious to a reasonable person that those videos were infringing.That's good. Too many copyright maximalists like to pretend that if there's copyright content there, and an employee is aware of it, that's automatically "red flag" knowledge. The court doesn't deny that there might be red flag knowledge (and even expresses skepticism towards some of Vimeo's arguments), but says that this, too, is an argument to be heard at trial.
The court also rejects the argument of "willful blindness," again suggesting that just because the labels didn't like the way Vimeo acted, that does not equate to willful blindness.
What remains of Plaintiffs' willful blindness argument amounts to little more than their frustration that Vimeo did not use sophisticated monitoring technology in its possession to seek out and remove instances of infringing content. As noted above, however, [the DMCA] and attendant case law make clear that service providers are under no affirmative duty to seek out infringement.The court also rejects the idea that Vimeo "induced" users to infringe on copyright, noting (again) that the mere use or even sanctioning of infringement is not enough.
This evidence simply does not rise to the level of that adduced in Grokster—either in quantity or in kind. In Grokster, the record was "replete with evidence" that defendants "clearly voiced the objective that recipients use [their product] to download copyrighted works." ... The examples supplied by Plaintiffs reflect no such thing. To be sure, some of the videos discussed above created by Vimeo employees (for example, Lodwick's lip dub) incorporated infringing music, and users' submissions may have often incorporated the same. But the relevant standard at issue here—inducement by way of the exertion of substantial influence on the activities of users—cannot be met by evidence of stray instances of wrongful conduct by Vimeo employees on the Website and/or a generalized effort to promote videos that incorporate music. This is so particularly in light of the Supreme Court's acknowledgement in Grokster that courts be "mindful of the need to keep from trenching on regular commerce or discouraging the development of technologies with lawful and unlawful potential."There is one more really bad part of the ruling... and it's saying that there are no DMCA protections on pre-1972 sound recordings. This is an issue we've mentioned a bunch lately, with different courts coming to different determinations. Unfortunately, this time, the court says the DMCA safe harbors don't apply:
The Court shares the view that "it is for Congress, not the courts, to extend the Copyright Act to pre-1972 sound recordings, both with respect to the rights granted under the Act and the limitations on those rights (such as section 512) set forth in the Act." Copyright Office Report at 132; see also UMG Recordings, Inc., 964 F.Y.S.2d at 112 (it would "be far more appropriate for Congress, if necessary, to amend the DMCA to clarify its intent, than for this Court to do so by fiat.") Accordingly, the Court grants summary judgment to Plaintiffs for all applicable Videos-in-Suit.And so, this case is far from over. There are a lot of good things in the ruling, but the details at the trial are going to matter quite a bit as well, and the failure to cover pre-1972 recordings will continue to create a chilling effect on user-generated websites which now face some amount of risk for having such songs uploaded.

Bloomsburg University's Department of Exceptionality Programs offers several options for undergraduate and graduate study, including ample opportunities for classroom and field-based study and experiences through partnerships with area schools, intermediate units, organizations, and community events.
Through the College of Education's Conceptual Framework vision, the Department of Exceptionality Programs develops students into transforming educators and interpreters who not only effectively manage constant change but also meet the individualized needs of their future students and adults.
The ASL/English Interpreting Program is a rigorous four-year interpreter education program. This program prepares students to interpret in various settings upon graduation. Students first learn ASL skills, then later in the program, they learn how to interpret between ASL and English. The students are instilled with the values of life-long learning.
The Special Education Program offers both undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to gain teaching certification in Special Education (PK-8) and Early Childhood Education (PK-4). Undergraduate students earn a B.S. degree with dual certification. Options for graduate students include an M.S. in Special Education (M.S.) and an M.Ed. with dual certification or advanced certification. We also offer a non-degree advanced teaching certification in Special Education (PK-8 and/or 7-12) for certified teachers and a Special Education Supervision Certification. These programs are accredited through the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE), the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), and the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).
The Education of the Deaf/HH Program has three different programs within this area of study: a) the 13-month graduate Master of Science in Education of the Deaf/HH (N-12), b) the undergraduate BS Dual Deaf/HH (N-12) and Early Childhood Education (PK-4) teacher certification, and c) a career concentration in Education of the Deaf/HH. Both the undergraduate and graduate degree programs prepare prospective classroom and itinerant teachers of deaf and hard of hearing students in oral, total communication and bilingual environments. The teacher certification programs are accredited through the CEC and Council on the Education of the Deaf (CED) as well as the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE). The undergraduate Deaf Education teacher certification program is the only one in Pennsylvania.

Professional Caregivers
The Professional Providers and Caregivers Board was established by IPWSO to provide support, information and to share international knowledge among professional service providers throughout the world.
Since the meeting of the first International Caregivers Conference in Herne, Germany in 2008, there has been universal support for establishing an international board of providers. The board was created to establish guidelines for best practices among caregivers of individuals with PWS and to provide a forum for providers to discuss specific issues affecting not only the individuals with PWS who reside in residential care, but issues affecting the institutions or community agencies that provide this care.
As many adults with PWS are living longer because of better weight management largely due to the environmental modifications required for managing hyperphagia, more support is required to sustain both the caregivers and the institutions that employ them in order to manage the challenges created by the syndrome. Establishing and maintaining a forum for discussing quality care for individuals with PWS who reside in group homes will assure optimal prognosis for maximum function with support across all aspects of living, including health, social function emotional stability, vocational skills, and the pursuit of individual interests.
Best Practice Guidelines for Residential Care
Law enforcement & criminal law
In 2008 and again in 2009, IPWSO, with the Regens-Wagner Absberg Centre and Wittekindshof Centre, jointly hosted the first and second specialised Caregivers' Conferences in Herne, Germany. These conferences were the brainchild of Pam Eisen, Hubert Soyer, and Norbert Hödebeck-Stuntebeck and at their invitation a group of residential specialists, teachers, and medical specialists met to hammer out a set of Best Practice Guidelines and Standards of Care for those with PWS.
The conferences followed a format of lectures and workshops where the topic of the lecture was discussed in depth. Delegates shifted around from group to group, working incredibly hard and, at times, well into the night, getting conclusions ready for presentation. "This was the most hard-working conference/workshop we had ever attended, and there was no let-up! Everyone was there for the best interests of those with the syndrome. The environment of the Akadamie Mont-Ceris was perfect - it was like a small, self-contained village set inside a glasshouse. It was extremely eco-friendly and its enclosed feeling made us unite as a family."
From these two conferences came the first draft of the Best Practice Guidelines of Residential Care for those with Prader-Willi Syndrome; a compilation of the outcomes of all the work over the two years. With the help of IPWSO consultants, Jan Forster, Hubert and Norbert, this compilation was put into CD format and is now ready for distribution.
The PPCB sees this still as a work in progress and as such, is to be used as a guideline for best practices, according to each country's specific needs and cultures. They realise that not every country in the world can achieve the dream goal of having the very best residential care for those with PWS, but these guidelines are the best starting-point to make dreams become reality.
The full set can be purchased for E35 (includes postage). To order, please contact email@example.com
The third PPCB conference was held in Munich, August 26-28, 2018 and brought together more than 200 delegates from 20 countries.
Law Enforcement and Criminal Law
(guideline for law enforcement personnel)
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a complex, multi-stage genetic disorder that impacts the thinking, understanding, satiety, sensation and behaviour of affected children and adults. Most commonly it is identified by an uncontrollable drive to eat and the inability to perceive fullness or satisfaction with the amount of food or beverages consumed. In people with PWS the hypothalamus of the brain, which regulates hormones, does not work as efficiently as it should.
There may be times when law enforcement agencies become involved in their life, usually due to disruptive or violent behaviour, either at home or in public.This guideline is to assist law enforcement personnel in their knowledge of PWS. (read more)
Law enforcement and Criminal Law
(Guideline for what care-givers can do)
When a person with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS)
is in trouble with the law:
what to think about and what you can do.
The criminal justice system
Usually it is the police who are called in the event of behaviour that is thought by others to be against the law (e.g. shoplifting, hitting another person). The police may exercise some discretion based upon their assessment of the situation at the scene, varying from giving an informal warning to arresting and charging the person who is alleged to have engaged in unlawful behaviour (for example, theft or assault). If there are concerns about the person's health at the time the police arrive, urgent medical advice may be requested. This, for example, would be important if the person with PWS appears to be displaying unusual symptoms and/or was known to have had a previously diagnosed mental illness, such as bipolar disorder or psychosis, or there is any indication that they are physically unwell.
Once arrested and out of the hands of the police, different countries will have their unique processes that are followed, but this may be a point in which the authorities (prosecution) may show some discretion. They may decide not to proceed with charges and to just give a formal warning. It is also possible that they may decide to prosecute and go to Court. Different criteria may apply in different countries, but this decision could be influenced by their knowledge of the person and how their alleged behaviour may have related to them having PWS; by whether or not, in the event of the person pleading not guilty, there is a reasonable chance of conviction; and more generally, whether it is considered in the public interest to prosecute.

Born in Martinsville on September 28, 1947, Mary Sue Terry received her undergraduate degree from Westhampton College and a master's degree and a law degree from the University of Virginia. After serving for four years as an assistant commonwealth's attorney in Patrick County and practicing law privately, Terry represented the counties of Henry, Patrick, and Pittsylvania and the city of Martinsville in the Virginia House of Delegates from 1978 until 1985. She supported legislation that established the concept of equitable distribution of marital property in divorce cases and sponsored tougher penalties for drunk drivers.
In 1985, Terry became the first woman elected to statewide office in Virginia and the second woman to serve as a state attorney general in the United States. In her reelection bid in 1989, she became the first elected official in Virginia history to receive more than one million votes. As attorney general, Terry successfully proposed legislation to reform insurance rates and to strengthen laws related to drunk driving, drug abuse, and family violence. She also persuaded the General Assembly to rewrite laws on waste management and clean water. In January 1993, Terry resigned as attorney general to campaign for governor but was defeated in the November general election.
She taught at the Jepson School of Leadership Studies at the University of Richmond from 1995 until 2001, when she returned to the family farm in Patrick County to practice law.

What's New
Aragon Font Family by Canada Type
Re-introducing the classic mid-1500s Garamond forms for the twenty-first century is never an easy task. But Hans van Maanen makes a fine attempt at just that by remodeling the tranditional shapes through a modern lens with stunning results.
Aragon is a workhorse family that performs very well in a variety of text sizes, from footnotes and legal copy to lengthy body sets. Its combination of wedge serifs with uniquely tapered stems offer a sturdy Dutch touch that improves legibility altogether, while at the same time the slight stress shift to the top half of the characters makes the immersive reading experience very open and comfortable.
The Aragon family comes in a standard two-weight set with corresponding italics, a roman small caps font with its own italics, and very attractive initials for display uses. All fonts come in the usual popular formats, and include a glyph repertoire that covers Western, Central and Eastern European languages, as well as Turkish and Welsh/Celtic.

Horde Guide to Lunar Festival Coins of Ancestry and Achievements
Horde Coins of Ancestry Guide
Hello all, and welcome to my Coins of Ancestry guide for the Lunar Festival. The purpose of this guide is to give detailed instructions on the location of every Elder required for the Lunar Festival achievements, while also trying to keep the maximum distance traveled and time spent traveling at a minimum. The guide will be split up into three parts: Kalimdor, Eastern Kingdoms, and Northrend.
In each section the elders found on that particular continent will be included, as well as the elders found in dungeons on that continent, and elders found in capital cities on that continent. Note that this guide is written for Horde players as I do not have an extensive knowledge of Alliance flight paths and such. An Alliance player could theoretically follow this if they simply substituted their own flight paths in place of the Horde ones.
All elders are friendly to all players. This means that horde players will be entering alliance territory and vice versa. Obviously, this means that it will be easier to complete these achievements on a PvE server, but it is possible on a PvP server. Because it is required to enter alliance towns/cities, I recommend anyone who follows this guide to be level 80. I wrote the guide as if a level 80 were doing it, and some of the elders might be impossible to get to at other levels. I have tried to include the coordinates and general geographic location of every elder in the guide, but at times it is not possible to include both.
I HIGHLY recommend installing a coordinate addon if you do not have one already as it will make your life easier. My personal favorite is "Koordinator" and can be downloaded at wow-curse.com
I use a color code during the guide, which is as follows:
• Cities/Towns are in Red
• Elders are in Dark Blue
• Coordinates are in Teal
Anyways, enough talk. On with the guide!
***The Northrend section of the guide has been released!***
1. Start in Orgrimmar and set your Hearthstone here. Find Elder Darkhorn in the Valley of Wisdom, to the right of the building Thrall is in.
2. Take the flight path to Valormok, Azshara. Find Elder Skygleam near the Ravencrest Monument. (72,85)
3. Ride back to Valormok and fly to Everlook, Winterspring. Elder Stonespire will be located outside the bank.(61,37)
4. Mount up and take a ride to the Ruins of Kel'Teril. Find Elder Brightspear at 55,43.
5. Ride back to Everlook and fly to Bloodvenom Post, Felwood. Mount up and ride south to Jaedenar. Elder Nightwind is located at 37,52.
6. Ride back to Bloodvenom Post and fly to Zoram'Gar Outpost, Ashenvale. Ride east to the Alliance town of Astranaar, and find Elder Riversong in a gazebo in the center of town. (35,48)
7. Head west then north, following the path, until you enter Darkshore. Continue heading north until you find Auberdine. Locate Elder Starweave south of the gryphon master at 36,46. (He is on the beach, not in the town proper.)
8. When you're ready, enter Auberdine. Yes, it is an alliance town, but it is also the only way to reach Teldrassil. Go to the docks of Auberdine, and go to the pier that is to your right as you are running down the docks. You will be attacked by guards, but they are low level and you should be fine. Wait for the boat (it usually takes forever) and board it. DO NOT attack the guards on the boat, as they will not attack you unless you attack them. If you are lucky, there won't be any alliance on the boat and, if you're even luckier, they won't attack.
9. Take the boat until it drops you off in Rut'Theran Village. Make a mad dash to the purple portal on the rise. You should make it through without dying, and you will be in Darnassus. Head north, while trying to stay in the water, to the Cenarion Enclave. Find Elder Bladeswift at 33,14. If you die, it's ok. Just rez right near your body and run to the elder. See following map.
10. Head east until you exit the city, trying to avoid the elite guards and giants. You will now be in Teldrassil proper. Head east down the road until you reach Dolanaar. Find Elder Bladeleaf at 56,60. If you are trying to get the explorer achievements, I would recommend exploring the rest of Teldrassil now to prevent the hassle of returning again.
11. Hearthstone to Orgrimmar. Exit Orgrimmar and head south to Razor Hill. Find Elder Runetotem at 54,44.
12. Go west from Razor Hill, entering The Barrens (enjoy Barrens chat during your stay!), and keep going west until you reach The Crossroads. Find Elder Moonwarden near the flight path at 51,30.
13. Fly to Ratchet, The Barrens. Find Elder Windtotem at 63,37.
14. Fly to Camp Taurajo, The Barrens. Find Elder High Mountain across from the Inn, at 45,57.
15. Mount up and ride west to Bloodhoof Village, Mulgore. You will find Elder Bloodhoof at 48,53 right next to Ahab Wheathoof and the bridge.
16. Ride north to Thunderbluff. Go to Elder Rise and find Elder Proudhorn.
17. Take the flight path to Shadowprey Village, Desolace. Set your hearthstone here. Head north to the Valley of Spears, and enter Maraudon. FindElder Splitrock using the map below. Hearth to Shadowprey Village when you are done.
18. Fly to Camp Mojache, Feralas. Head north to the Lariss Pavilion and find Elder Grimtotem at 76,37.
19. Go south back to Camp Mojache and then head west to Dire Maul. Go inside the building (not the instance) to the Dire Maul Arena. Find Elder Mistwalker at 43,67.

Eastern Kingdoms
1. In The Undercity, find Elder Darkcore at 66,38. Fly to The Sepulchur, Silverpine Forest. Find Elder Obsidian at 45,41. Fly back to The Undercity.
2. Exit The Undcercity, and ride north to Brill. Find Elder Graveborn near the Inn, at 61,53.
3. Ride east and enter Western Plaguelands. Continue following the road east until you see Darrowmere Lake to the south. Cross the lake to Caer Darrow (the island) and continue up the path to Scholomance. Stand in front of the door that leads to the instance portal, and turn around. Go through that entry way, and continue all the way to the roof where you will find Elder Moonstike. (52,26)
4. Cross back over Darrowmere Lake, and continue north until The Weeping Cave. At 65,47 you will find Elder Meadowrun.
5. Continue heading east along the road until you reach Crow Guard Tower. There you will find Elder Windrun. (39,75)
6. Head even further east until you reach Light's Hope Chapel. There you will find Elder Snowcrown. (81,60)
7. Go north from Light's Hope Chapel, then west until you reach Stratholme. Enter Live Stratholme, head to King's Square, then east. You should be in Festival Lane, and you should see Elder Farwhisper. See following map. If you do not have The Key to the City, you will not be able to go through the gate on the below map. head west instead, and around the path, careful to not enter the area of Stratholme with scarlet crusade mobs.
8. Exit Stratholme, using the Service Gate (if you have The Key to the City; if not, kill Magistrate Barthilas located at point B on the above map. He will drop the key that you can use at the service gate, marked A on the above map.) ride back to Light's Hope Chapel, and fly to Revantusk Village, The Hinterlands. Head north from the village, until you find the path leading up. Head west across The Hinterlands and slightly south to get to The Creeping Ruins. Find Elder Highspeak at 50,48.
9. Ride back to Revantusk Village, and fly to Kragath, Badlands. Set your hearthstone here.

11. Head west from Thelsamar, and go through The Northern Gate Outpost to enter Dun Morough. Head west, then south until you reach Kharanos. Find Elder Goldwell at 46,51.
12. Head north from Kharanos until you reach Ironforge. Now, this part will be difficult. You are going to need to enter Ironforge and run to the Mystic Ward to find Elder Bronzebeard at 29,17. I would recommend taking off all your gear, then making a series of suicide runs into the city. See following map. Hearthstone to Kargath. If your hearthstone is not up, walk back to Kargath.
13. Fly to Thorium Point, Searing Gorge. Ride south until you find Blackrock Mountain, then west and up into the mountains. Find Elder Ironband in Blackchar Cave (you can see the cave icon on your map) at 21,78.
14. Ride east back to Blackrock Mountain, and enter it. Climb onto the chain to your left, and follow it to the large suspended rock in the center. Follow the stairs downward and out onto a ledge. Follow the ramp down some more, down another chain, and through an archway near a blood elf. Follow this path as it zigzags a bit and you will be in a large open area. Traverse this and enter Blackrock Depths. (I will be adding a map here shortly.)
15. Proceed east then north to the Ring of Law and find Elder Morndeep. Talking to him will start the Ring of Law event, so get ready to run out. See following map.
16. Exit Blackrock Depths the way you came. Go back to the chain we used to come down (the first one), and climb back up it. At the top, jump down. Head right from where you are and you should be going up an incline. At the top of the incline, you will see a balcony that you can jump on. Find the instance portal to Blackrock Spire in here. After you enter the instance, proceed forward, up the ramp. Head across the room until you encounter two small stairways. Take the one on your right, as you are facing the stairs. Make an immediate right at the top of the stairs, and jump down off the ledge. Hug the wall to the left and enter a passage which zigzags until you enter Hordemar City. Hug this left wall until you see a wooden bridge. Cross it to find Elder Stonefort.
17. Exit Blackrock Spire, go back down the chain, and proceed down the ramps of Blackrock Mountain to enter The Burning Steppes.
18. Head east to Dreadmaul Rock and find Elder Rumblerock at 82,46.
19. Head to Flame Crest (65,24) and find Elder Dawnstrider. Fly to Stonard, Swamp of Sorrows. Set your hearthstone here.
20. Ride west of Stonard, then south to enter The Blasted Lands. Follow the road south to The Dark Portal and find Elder Bellowrage at 57,54.
21. Ride back to The Swamp of Sorrows. Time for a bit of traveling. Mount up and ride west, through Deadwind Pass and Duskwood (avoiding the alliance town of Darkshire.) Enter Westfall and head south west to Sentinel Hill. Enter the large tower, and walk to the top to find Elder Skychaser at 56,47.
22. Jump down from the tower (or walk back down if don't like your chances) and head north east to enter Elwynn Forest. Head east and enter the town of Goldshire. Find Elder Stormbrow at 40,63 behind the blacksmith shop.
23. Head north until you come upon Stormwind. You will need to go to the section of Stormwind called The Park. There, at 35,65, you will find Elder Hammershout. Once again, I recommend a series of corpse runs. See following map. Once you have talked to the elder, hearthstone to Stonard.
24. Head east of Stonard until you reach the lake, then swim across it until you reach The Temple of Atal'Hakkar. Proceed through it to get to the instance portal. Once in Sunken Temple, head left up the spiral staircase and go left around the circle to the first alcove on your left. Find Elder Starsong there. Proceed back to Stonard. Fly to Booty Bay, Stranglethorn Vale.
25. Jump off the balcony where the horde flight path is onto the roof of the bank. There you will find Elder Winterhoof at 27,74.
26. Exit Booty Bay, and proceed north until you reach Zul'Gurub. Proceed up the stair to the instance portal. At 53,18 you should find Elder Starglade.
27. Head west to Grom'Gol Base Camp, and take the zeppelin to The Undercity.
28. Once in The Undercity, take the zeppelin to Howling Fjord in Northrend.
At this point you should have the following Lunar Festival Achievements:
• A Coin of Ancestry
• 10 Coins of Ancestry
• 25 Coins of Ancestry
• Elders of the Eastern Kingdoms
• Elders of Kalimdor
• Elders of the Alliance
• Elders of the Horde
There are still some Elders remaining in Northrend dungeons. I would recommend trying to find some people in your guild to hit up each dungeon with an elder in it, or look in general channel for a group for the dungeon when we are in the zone the dungeon is located. All the elders can be found in normal versions of their dungeons except Elder Ohanzee in Gundrak. I will remind when we are in a zone with a dungeon elder. Also since this is Northrend, and you can use your flying mount, we will be flying everywhere on our mounts as opposed to taking flight paths. If you do not have epic flying, or are just too lazy to manually fly everywhere, simply use flight paths instead. One more thing; none of the elders that are located in alliance/horde towns are actually in the towns…they are standing on a cliff overlooking the town or standing just outside the perimeter of the town.
1. Look for a group for Elder Jarten in Utgarde Keep and Elder Chogan'gada in Utgarde Pinnacle. To get to Elder Jarten, go through the tunnel in Utgarde Keep with the undead in it (past Prince Kelseth's room) and up the staircase. He should be in an alcove on your left. Elder Chogan'gada is in the room after Skadi, at the bottom of the stairs. He is hiding behind a wooden wall, but you should be able to see his moon beam light through the floor above.
2. Fly north to Grizzly Hills. Keep flying north until you reach Camp Oneqwah and find Elder Whurain. (65,46)
While you're in Grizzly Hills, try to find a group for Drak'Tharon keep. You will find Elder Kilias inside the same pen as the third boss of the instance, King Dred.
3. Fly east to The Ruins of Telthys, a few islands on the ocean, and find Elder Lunaro at 78,35.
4. Fly west and slightly north to Westfall Brigade Encampment and find Elder Beldak at 60,27.
5. Fly north and enter Zul'Drak. Fly to Zim'Torga and find Elder Tauros at 59,56.
While you're in Zul'Drak, find a group for Gundrak. Elder Ohanzee can only be accessed in heroic mode, meaning that you MUST be 80 to obtain this elder. That being said, find Elder Ohanzee in the same chamber as Eck, the frog boss who is located behind the secret door that opens after Moorabi is defeated.
6. Fly slightly north west and enter The Storm Peaks. Fly north east to Camp Taunka'lo and find Elder Muraco at 64,51.
While in The Storm Peaks, find a group for Halls of Stone. Find Elder Yurauk on the path heading towards Krystallus.
7. Head far west, to the other side of the zone, and find Elder Stonebeard inside Bouldercrag's Refuge. (31,37)
8. Fly south to Frosthold and find Elder Fargal at 28,73.
9. Fly south to K3 and find Elder Greymane at 41,84.
10. Fly south through Crystalsong Forest, stop at Dalaran and set your hearthstone here, (I forgot to do this, went to hearth after an instance, and found myself in Stonard and then fly south to Dragonblight.
11. Fly south all the way to the ocean and Moa'ki Harbor. Find Elder Thoim at 48,79 right behind the dockmaster.
While in Dragonblight, find a group for Azjol'Nerub. Find Elder Nurgen at the bottom of the pit you fall into after the second boss. He will be standing on the rim of the pool.
12. Fly north west to Agmar's Hammer and find Elder Skywarden at 35,48.
13. Fly west to Star's Rest and find Elder Morthi at 29,55.
14. Fly west, entering Boring (oh, sorry, Borean) Tundra. Keep flying west until you reach the DEHTA Camp and Elder Arp at 57,43.
While in Borean Tundra, find a group for The Nexus. You will find Elder Igasho in the area right near Ormorock.
15. Fly south to Valiance Keep and find Elder Sardis standing on a rocky outcrop on the outside of the keep. (59,65)
16. Fly slightly north west to Warsong Hold and find Elder Pamuya standing on a ledge above the quarry. (42,49)
17. Head further north west and find the Transistus Shield and Elder Northal at 33,34.
18. Fly north east and enter Sholazar Basin. Keep flying north east to River's Heart and find Elder Sandrine at Lakeside Landing. (49,63)
19. Keep flying north east to Rainspeaker Rapids and find Elder Wanikaya standing behind the Avatar of Freya. (63,49)
20. Hearth to Dalaran. If you're lucky, Horde will have control of Wintergrasp and you can take the portal there and find Elder Bluehoof in the fortress. If Horde does not have Wintergrasp, log off and bake cookies or something until they do. Maybe Read War and Peace. Your choice.
***Thanks for reading the guide everyone! This was the first time I've written a guide, and I hoped it helped a few of you out. I would LOVE comments/suggestions...anything to help me improve the guide. If you think I need to add more maps, remove some of the color coded words (ahhhh, my eyes!), or just give more detailed instructions...simply add a comment. Also, if you find that some of the coordinates or locations are wrong, leave a comment. I'll be following my own guide when The Lunar Festival commences, and will of course be checking for mistakes, but I am only human and I might miss some.***
Special thanks to Jame for his awesome leveling guides and his even more awesome "How to write a guide" guide.

I've been following the guide to get around.. and here's a little comment.
Why not ride the Deeprun from Ironforge to Stormwind and then do Goldshire and Sentinel Hill before HSing back to Kargath - this cuts out the run from STV to Westfall.

I'd agree about Stormwind - swimming then up through the harbour is much easier than corpserunning through the main door
Otherwise, thank you ever so much for a great guide - made this achievement a little less tedious!
Stormwind Elder
Submitted by kantag on Wed, 2009-01-28 11:16.
First of all I play alliance so I might be wrong here...
But I think the easiest way to get to the park in Stormwind is going to Westfall and then swim north to the Stormwind harbor. Now you need to travel from the harbor to the park. If you do this off peak-hours I wouldn't be surprised if you could do that without even seeing players of the enemy faction.
Just want to start by
Submitted by JimmyJazzJones on Wed, 2009-01-28 02:50.
Just want to start by thanking you for this guide. I wouldn't have got anywhere close to 50 coins.
Although I do have some alterations.
Firstly, the Maraudon map is a bit complex. It should be a simple run from the portal. Simply head towards a flowery entrance and hug the left wall until you come to a bridge. Cross the bridge and head to the left most entrance. Hugh this wall and you should be near a big rock bridge (bigger than previous one crossed) leading to the princess. If you jump off this rock bridge into the water below, where Rotgrip cant be found, and swim away from the princess there should be a little cave in the wall. Enter and follow around to find the Elder. (also note that point 17 states "Hearth to Shadowprey Village when you are done." and point 18 then states "Exit Mara the way you came, and walk back to Shadowprey Village, Desolace")
Another note is that the elder isn't where it is indicated on the Stratholme map. I couldn't head through the gates as drawn on the map and had to enter the other set of gates (marked 3 on the map) and head right.
If anyone is having trouble with Ironforge, I found that if you make it passed the main entrance and don't feel like running in the open, simply drop down to the grated lava area below. This way you can hide and rest as hardly anyone looks down here (until they read this) and you can mount up and exit at the end on a stairway on the right hand side.
Another note to make is that if you've done all this or are waiting for something why not try for the 'City Defender' [Kill 50 enemy players in any of your home cities] achievement. That is if you're like me and already don't have it.

He only moves if you enter the instance from the service gate which, in this case, is not applicable.
Can you please be more
Submitted by Ravinn on Sun, 2009-01-25 16:56.
Can you please be more specific about Blackrock Spire? "Walk around to the left and cross the first wooden bridge" isn't really that helpful to someone who's never been to BRS.
I went to the left and found rooms full of orcs and dragonkin. I went to the right and dropped off into a stone room full of orcs. No elder, though... Did I miss a left or something?
Nice Guide But...
Submitted by vanityarrow on Sun, 2009-01-25 14:39.
Really nice guide, was very helpful, but there are a few things that aren't quite correct in the instances. The Mara ancestor isn't quite in the location on the map (or maybe he is, but it takes a different route to get there. I only found him by falling in the water by accident (although it then took me a million years to find Princess, Mara is definitely one of my least favourite instances). Also, the BRD and BRS directions say "Go left", when it's the map left, but not YOUR left, although you say "go to your left". Minor details, but BRS can be quite confusing, so it's best to be a bit more direct. And as someone already mentioned, you can't get out of Mara by going the way you came, as there's no portal back out from there.
I also made it a bit easier on myself and grabbed the Sunken Temple elder before leaving SoS, so I could just ride south from Westfall and swim to STV.
Exit mara?
Submitted by Ducrush on Sun, 2009-01-25 10:14.
"Exit Mara the way you came"....huh?
I came in via the portal like you said, and I see no portal out. Guess I'll have to wait for hearthstone...
This guide was quite helpful
Submitted by Jiruru on Sun, 2009-01-25 07:49.
This guide was quite helpful (even for Alliance), except the Maraudon elder isn't labeled on the map. The path on the map goes to Princess, who is a fair distance from the elder. (The word Elder on the map isn't near the elder either.)

So first off, let me say thank you for making this guide! Overall it looks very helpful, and the text formatting is great, especially considering that this is your first guide. The only complaint I see right off the bat is that, no offense, but those maps are pretty awful looking. Still, they do what they need to do, which is great for now. Try using a text tool instead of drawing the text - even MS Paint has this. If you want to try something more advanced, download GIMP (its a free version of Photoshop). I'm thinking about making a guide about how to use GIMP to make maps, but for now you can at least use the text tool to improve them.

Hey, fantastic guide, glad you wanted to spend time making this for us achievement-whores
Just read it all, found something:
"Head north to the Valley of Spears, and enter Maraudon. Head to where Princess is located, jump down into the water where Rotgrip is, and head up the ramp to find Elder Splitrock."
Not very familiar with Maraudon, and I don't know where Princess is. Maybe you could add a map? That would just be great
I am so looking forward to the title

Also, is the Northrend part of the guide coming out after lunar festival starts? I am sure you haven't done it yet because this is the first lunar festival since the release, so was curious.
