May 2013 Web Server Survey
In the May 2013 survey we received responses from 672,837,096 sites, which is 23.8M more than last month.
Apache had the largest growth this month, gaining 28.3M websites and increasing its market share by 2.41 percentage points to 53.4%. The majority of this growth was attributable to Apache Traffic Server (ATS), which gained 28M websites and increased its market share from 0.03% to 4.2%. Nearly all of the Apache Traffic Server growth occurred at Go Daddy — 75% of websites hosted by Go Daddy now use ATS and Go Daddy now hosts 99% of all sites using this server software.
Originally created as a commercial product by Inktomi in 1997, Apache Traffic Server is an extensible multi-threaded event-driven caching proxy server which is claimed to scale well on modern multi-core systems. Yahoo! acquired Inktomi in 2005, and in November 2009, the project was donated to the Apache Software Foundation.
The vast majority of the ATS served websites at Go Daddy were previously served by Microsoft IIS, resulting in the rather noticeable loss of 3.26 percentage points of market share. Microsoft IIS's market share is now 16.7%. Despite the loss at Go Daddy it gained more new sites than any competitor this month, with 43% of all new websites being served on Microsoft IIS, while accounting for only 30% of expired websites (this includes inactive blogs, as well as sites which no longer exist).
nginx reached a new milestone this month: it is now used by more than 100M websites, and within the Million Busiest Websites has overtaken Microsoft IIS to take second place with a market share of 13.5%. Overall, nginx's market share now stands at 15.5%, just 1.2 percentage points behind Microsoft, helped by a growth of 8.3M sites this month.
The latest stable version, nginx 1.4.0, was released last week, integrating OCSP stapling and experimental SPDY draft 2 support. nginx is used extensively by the WordPress.com blog hosting service, whose owners – Automattic – sponsored development of the ngx_http_spdy_module. Development of OCSP stapling support was sponsored by Comodo, DigiCert, and GlobalSign.

April 2013 Web Server Survey
In the April 2013 survey we received responses from 649,072,682 sites, 17.6M more than last month.
This month, market leader Apache lost 9.9M sites, or 3 percentage points of market share. A major contributor to this loss was the movement of a large affiliate referral network consisting of around 8M sites now being served by nginx. Apache is now used by just over 51% of websites, which is still substantially more than its closest competitor Microsoft IIS. IIS gained 1.95 percentage points of market share this month (an increase of 15.8M hostnames) bringing its market share to almost 20%. Meanwhile, nginx saw an overall growth of 10.6M sites this month, with the largest nginx hosting company, Hetzner Online AG, contributing an additional 1.6M sites.
In terms of active sites the survey was less volatile. Apache still experienced an overall loss, however much smaller at just 288k active sites. The biggest increase came from nginx, and was unrelated to their large hostname gain described earlier, with Peer1 Networks gaining 1.5M nginx active sites.
North Korea's drew the world's attention to its web presence by accusing the United States and its allies of "intensive and persistent virus attacks" on servers operated by the North Korean regime. The Korean Central News Agency's press release goes on to assert that:
"It is nobody's secret that the U.S. and south Korean puppet regime are massively bolstering up cyber forces in a bid to intensify the subversive activities and sabotages against the DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea]."
There is only a very small number of North Korean sites accessible from outside of the country; however, these sites do make use of several modern and popular web technologies from around the globe. The Rodong Sinmun newspaper's site uses PHP and CentOS 5, and hosts an HTTPS service with an expired self-signed certificate. More controversially, The Korean Central News Agency's official website uses Java, Flash and jQuery and is hosted using Apache 2.2.3 on a server running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, a commercial Linux distribution which is owned, distributed and supported by American multinational Red Hat, Inc. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is subject to U.S. export controls, which specifically prohibit its use in North Korea. As a result, this installation is likely unlicensed and so may not receive security updates.
Meanwhile in South Korea, the Government of Korea, an SSL certificate authority (CA) trusted by Microsoft has revoked the last of more than 100 unusual SSL certificates each of which could have allowed its owner to act as a trusted CA. With the ability conferred by the cA bit being set in the Basic Constraints extension, a forged certificate signed using the mis-issued certificate could be trusted for any site by users of some SSL implementations. Any such certificate could be used to perform man-in-the-middle attacks on users of third-party websites in order to view the contents of any intercepted encrypted traffic. There is an additional property which is usually required for a certificate to be considered a valid intermediate — 'Certificate Signing' should be set as a permissible Key Usage — but some implementations may ignore this extra requirement. None of the Korean certificates found had the necessary flags set in this additional extension, so most implementations would not trust such forged certificates.
The certificates found appear to have been issued to South Korean academic institutions without the intention of them being able to sign additional certificates. These certificates have been in the Netcraft SSL Server Survey for some time but no longer pose a risk: all of the certificates concerned have either been revoked or have expired. The most recent revocation was on January 31st 2013 for a certificate issued in late 2011, showing it was at risk of misuse for more than a year.

March 2013 Web Server Survey
In the March 2013 survey we received responses from 631,521,198 sites.
Microsoft showed a noticeable gain of 9M sites this month, increasing its market share by 1.42 percentage points to 18.01%. Much of this growth was seen at Go Daddy, which alone gained 2.6M sites powered by Microsoft web servers. Microsoft also fared well amongst the top million busiest sites, where its market share grew by 0.74 percentage points to 13.60%, increasing its narrow lead over its closest rival, nginx.
More than 130,000 of the sites in Netcraft's survey are hosted on Microsoft's Windows Azure cloud platform, but not all are running Microsoft web servers: Since Microsoft Open Technologies launched its VM Depot preview in January, more than 100 ready-to-use images have been added to the community-driven catalogue of virtual machines. This makes it easier for customers to deploy Linux-based images running preconfigured applications and frameworks such as WordPress, Joomla!, Drupal, Django and MongoDB. The majority of these images are based on Ubuntu Linux, and many of them use Apache and PHP to serve their content.
nginx also saw a reasonable gain in market share this month, with an additional 4.4M sites taking its share up by 0.68 percentage points to 13.53%. The most recent development release of nginx (1.3.13) introduced support for proxying WebSocket connections – an HTML5 technology which provides full-duplex communications between a browser and a web application over a single TCP connection. WebSockets are supported by all modern desktop browser software, for which the protocol specification defines two URI schemes:
for unencrypted connections, andwss:
for secure ones. The development of WebSocket support in nginx was sponsored by CloudBees and Apcera, who will both be making use of the new feature in their own services.nginx performed less well amongst the top million sites, where it had looked set to overtake Microsoft this month. Instead, a net loss of 910 nginx sites resulted in its share falling to 12.72%.

February 2013 Web Server Survey
In the February 2013 survey we received responses from 630,795,511 sites.
Both Apache and Microsoft IIS were used on fewer sites this month, losing more than five million hostnames between them. Conversely, nginx grew its market share to 12.85%, serving 1.4 million more hostnames than last month. Amongst the million busiest sites, nginx is now almost neck-and-neck with Microsoft IIS — both have a market share of just under 13% and there are now fewer than 500 individual sites separating them.
Tengine, an nginx derivative maintained by Taobao, a large Chinese internet retailer, is now used on almost 4 million hostnames, including at the Internet Archive. Alibaba, the parent company of Taobao, has the second largest number of hostnames in China and accounts for more than 11% of the hostnames we find in China. Though China accounts for 19% of the world's population, only 5.8% of the world's websites are hosted in China. Microsoft leads the way in China, with 38% of Chinese-hosted sites using IIS; just 26% use Apache, while usage of nginx — 19% — is significantly above-average.
Taobao is a magnet for Phishing attacks — Netcraft is currently blocking almost six thousand URLs targeting Taobao customers. After Facebook, Taobao.com is one of the busiest websites powered by PHP and also makes heavy use of JavaScript, though not using one of the more popular frameworks, instead using an open-sourced in-house developed library, KISSY.

January 2013 Web Server Survey
In the January 2013 survey we received responses from 629,939,191 sites.
Apache continued its decline in market share that began in mid-2012, now having 100 million fewer hostnames than in June 2012: it still retains a clear majority at 55.26% of the market. Both within the million busiest sites and on the internet as a whole, nginx has continued its ascendance, increasing its market share to 12.77% and 12.64% respectively. Where the version is known, the widest deployed version of nginx is the current stable branch (1.2.x) but the bulk of Apache users are still using the 2.2.x branch of Apache httpd despite the new features available in the 2.4.x branch which has been available since February 2012.
Amazon now hosts 9.3 million hostnames using their cloud computing platforms — gaining more than one million sites this month, and more than doubling within the past year. The most used web server at Amazon is nginx, being used on more than 44% of all hostnames, many of which are being served by Heroku, a Platform as a Service (PaaS) provider.
Notwithstanding Amazon's fast growth, Go Daddy hosts 36 million sites — nearly 6% of the world's websites — making it the largest hosting company in terms of hostnames. The number of sites hosted does not, however, necessarily scale with the number of computers (physical or virtual) used to serve the corresponding content: shared hosting providers will often be able to host several hundred or even thousand sites from a single machine, whereas VPS and dedicated hosting providers may only serve a few. Although Netcraft found 23k web-facing computers at Go Daddy, Amazon has been the largest hosting company in terms of web-facing computers since September 2012 with 139k web-facing computers this month — Go Daddy hosts, on average, more than 23 times more sites per web-facing computer than Amazon. Although Go Daddy is the largest hosting company by hostname, the distribution of sites hosted is skewed towards the less busy: it hosts 2.6% of the million busiest sites, and only a single site in the top 1,000. Amazon, on the other hand, hosts a similar number in the million busiest, and 5.1% of the top 1,000 sites.
Almost two-thirds of the web-facing computers at Go Daddy run Microsoft Windows, with the vast majority running Windows server 2008. With such a high proportion of Windows-powered websites, Go Daddy, unsurprisingly, hosts the largest number of sites powered by ASP.NET. More than 24 million sites hosted by Go Daddy were actively using ASP.NET, whereas relatively few (2.4 million) were using the otherwise popular PHP scripting language.

December 2012 Web Server Survey
In the December 2012 survey we received responses from 633,706,564 sites - an increase of over 8 million since November.
Microsoft IIS experienced the largest gain this month, with the movement of an advertising network of 4.7M Apache hostnames to IIS 7.5 contributing to an overall 8.2M increase - their largest in over a year. As a result of the switch, Apache saw an equivalent loss, reducing their market share by 1.53 percentage points. Despite Apache's continuing downward trend over the last few months, they still hold on to more than half of the market (55.70%). Strong growth was also experienced by nginx this month, with a gain of 2M hostnames resulting in another increase to its market share.
nginx also further increased its market share within the million busiest sites, which now stands at 12.44%, as did Microsoft, which remains slightly ahead with a 13.22% share. While overall the survey sees IIS/6.0 as the most popular version of Microsoft's web server software, with a 41 percentage point lead over other versions, within the million busiest sites IIS/7.5 looks set to soon overtake it. IIS/7.5 is now used to serve 40% of IIS websites within the top million, just 4.8k and 4 percentage points behind IIS/6.0.
Linux Rootkit Found Infecting Webservers with iFrame Injection
A new rootkit, which can infect web servers running on 64-bit GNU/Linux, has been discovered which attacks web surfers with drive-by-downloads. The malware works by injecting an iFrame directly into the outgoing TCP packets of the infected machine, allowing it to infect all web traffic from the server. It was first discovered on a server running nginx, however it does not appear to be targeting nginx specifically.
ICANN Early Warnings Filed
More than half of the sites found by Netcraft's survey use the .com top-level domain, but ICANN is in the process of creating additional TLDs. On 20 November 2012, the Governmental Advisory Committee of ICANN filed 242 Early Warnings on individual applications for new top-level domains. These warnings are notices rather than formal objections, and do not directly lead to a process that can result in an application being rejected; however, they are indicative of likely formal objections later on in the application process. Most of the warnings that have been issued consist of "requests for information, or requests for clarity on certain aspects of an application".
Prominent among the list of Early Warnings is Amazon EU, which applied for .app, .book, .cloud, .game, .mail, .map, .mobile, .movie, .music, .news, .search, .shop, .show, .song, .store, .tunes, .video, plus several other unicode TLDs in other scripts and languages. Many of these TLDs have been described as generic terms that relate to broad market sectors, which could have a negative impact on competition if Amazon is to exclude other entities from using them.
India, Australia and the United States have each objected to .airforce, .army and .navy being applied for by United TLD Holdco Ltd. The United States simply claims that these strings are confusingly similar to the names of specific government agencies, while both India and Australia note that words associated with the armed forces are protected in national legislation, and the applied for TLDs could mislead users into thinking that a registrant is associated with these national armed forces.
India goes further to state that these applications have the potential to cause irreparable harm to the security and stability of the nation and suggests that the applicant should withdraw their application. The final rationale behind India's warning makes its position clear: "Allowing sovereign functions in the exclusive hands of foreign corporations whose motivations are unknown, and whose jurisdictions are not accessible for national government should NOT be allowed to happen by ICANN."
Applicants who wish to continue with their applications are advised by the Early Warning document to notify the Governmental Advisory Committee of their intended actions and when these actions will be completed. However, ICANN will still continue to process applications which do not receive a response. Conversely, if an applicant decides to withdraw their application, the applicant can receive a refund of up to 80% of the evaluation fee ($148,000).

From American modern psych to breezy French pop, both Yeasayer and The Limiñanas bring sweet cinematic sounds to listeners with their newest releases, respectively.
Fragrant World
Secretly Canadian Records
If you aren't familiar with Yeasayer, you'll like them, especially if you are into beat-driven danciness and smart, economical lyrics.
Synth-heavy melodies wrap around their multi-layered vocal harmonies, at one moment buttery smooth, then the next scattering loosely like rocks thrown across a placid pond.
Funky beats meet effected instrumentation in Fragrant World, continuing their knack for consistency as a band. Still, each of their releases has been equally solid without seeming redundant, which can be a struggle for more techno-heavy bands.
The album title, Fragrant World, is well chosen, with each song pulsating with its very own flavor and aroma. The newest release from this eclectic Brooklyn trio is yet another happy surprise if you've been a fan of their earlier creations.
Recommended if you like: Hot Chip, Animal Collective, Beach House, MGMT, Caribou, Michael Jackson
The Limiñanas
Crystal Anis LP/CD
Hozac Records
Even though I know only a smattering of French, I was completely entranced almost instantly with this new release from French pop outfit The Limiñanas. A carefully crafted sound, with simple beats, fuzzy guitar tracks, Crystal Anis is a pop-minimalist's dream.
The band's sophomore full-length release, Crystal Anis shows growth and complexity. Their 60s-styled pop isn't contrived in the least, but instead evolved, with a clean sound, yet reminiscent of other low-fi garage recordings.
Seductive and lush, Mari Limiñana's vocals are luxurious, with added depth by backing vocalists and bandmate Lio Limiñana. Mix these together with searing psych guitar riffs, Farfisa-style keyboard tracks and a driven, minimal drum beat and you've got perfection.

In the mid-seventeenth century, John Mayow conducted a series of experiments in which he showed that burning candles in bell jars consumed one-fifth of the enclosed air before extinguishing. Remarkably, mice placed in bell jars did exactly the same thing...
Science and the Bible: Theistic Evolution, Part 1
The dictionaries I checked don't define the term, "theistic evolution," so I offer my own definition: the belief that God used the process of evolution to create living things, including humans.
Understanding Evolution: Theory, Prediction and Converging Lines of Evidence, Part 1
In science, we don't really know the true way things actually work. What we have are theories—broad explanatory frameworks supported by experimentation, which we can use to make testable predictions about the natural world.
America's View on Evolution and Creationism (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about science and faith in America. The graphic uses data from Gallup Research, The New York Times, and the Pew Research Center to show what Americans currently believe about the origins of humans.
Speciation and Macroevolution
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
Series: He Who Has Ears
Scholar and musician Jeff Warren addresses the questions of how music is meaningful, and where that meaning resides, by looking at the popular ideas that musical meaning is entirely subjective to the listener and that the meaning of music can be universal. He also explores the recent trend of attempting to explain music via neuroscience. Finally, he looks into the reasons why music continues to play such a critical role in the worshiping life of the Church.
Series: Evidences for Evolution
This technical series, co-written by Darrel Falk and David Kerk, looks into the evidence for evolution in order to dispel doubts that people may have about this well-supported theory. They look at three things specifically: the separate methods which reveal of the age of the earth, the unfolding history of whale evolution, and finally the common trends of heart development in vertebrates.
Creation? Which Creation?
In addressing the subject of creation, William P. Brown contends that there is not one story but seven contained in the sacred texts of the Judeo-Christian tradition. The books of Genesis, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Isaiah each provide unique perspectives of the natural world.
Series: New Limbs from Old Fins
Stephen Matheson presents common descent by evolution as the best explanation for the universal pattern found in tetrapod limbs. He discusses initially the evolution and development of limbs in specifically vertebrate tetrapods. He looks at the question of origins and further digs into amazing fossil discoveries. He then gives evidence of evolution from fish to tetrapods by discussing the similarities in the anatomy, development, and genetic systems associated with this amazingly common pattern in vertebrate appendages.
Series: Understanding Evolution
This blog series by Dennis Venema undertakes the task of clarifying numerous aspects of evolution that often become misconstrued by Christians. He first discusses the idea of speciation in a population over time, later applying it to the speciation process that occurred among hominids (human ancestors) which led to modern humans. He continues to support this idea by exploring so called "Mitochondrial Eve,""Y Chromosome Adam" and other compositional clues of the human genome.
A Young Earth Creationist's Perspective
In this video, Aaron Daly offers his thoughts on theistic evolution, creation, and how Christians should handle disagreements over these issues. Most of all, Aaron highlights the need for love in our discussions with one another, especially when we disagree.
From the Dust: Evolutionary Creation
With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
Series: Mesopotamian Cosmic Geography in the Bible
In this six part series, Brian Godawa takes a closer look at cosmography and its relationship to the Bible. After defining cosmography as a theory that describes features of the heavens and the earth, he relates how his own views about the universe have shifted. He then continues to talk about the Mesopotamian cosmography that is so consistently reflected in Scripture. This view of the universe includes aspects such as the firmament, the pillars, the underworld, the heavens above, the watery abyss. He then explains how one understands these concepts in terms of modern scientific thought.
Series: The Cambrian "Explosion", Transitional Forms, and the Tree of Life
Many evolutionary critics have identified the Cambrian Explosion as a stumbling block to the theory of evolution, arguing that the "expected transitions between major invertebrate phyla are absent, and that the suddenness of their appearance in the fossil record demonstrates that evolutionary explanations are not viable." Keith Miller argues that the Cambrian Explosion is not so problematic as these opponents claim after all.
Series: Recovering the Doctrine of Creation: A Theological View of Science
Robert C. Bishop explains that many believe two things about creation: that the universe was created out of nothing by God and that he accomplished this in six days. This overly simplistic view does not do the robust Doctrine of Creation (DoC) justice, and it unnecessarily hinders much of the dialogue between evolution and Christianity. Bishop "recovers" the DoC by exploring the limitations of creation, God's sovereignty in the process, God's Trinitarian activity and ongoing purpose for his creatures, and the salvation of creation in space and time.
Beware Evolutionary 'Just-so' Stories About Religious Belief
As an evolutionary biologist I am fascinated by the emergence of cognitive abilities that make us so distinctive from other living species. There are, however, risks in making up evolutionary "just-so" stories to explain the origins of complex human beliefs.

SOURCE Anantara Hotels, Resorts and Spas
NEW YORK, March 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Anantara Xishuangbanna Resort & Spa, now open, is Anantara's second Chinese establishment, and the first and only five star hotel and pool villa destination experience in the Yunnan Province.
Located in the midst of this scenic resort destination, an hour's drive from Jinghong International Airport, the resort is set within lush gardens and water features, and comprises 80 Deluxe guest rooms, as well as 23 one-, two- and three-bedroom Pool Villas.
A luxurious blend of contemporary and local culture, authentic influences are drawn from the textures, colors and flavors of the region to deliver a bewitching blend of Chinese, Thai, and Burmese accents. Cultural aspects of the local tribes including the Dai, Jinuo and Hani people will feature not only in the resort's design, but also in its culinary concepts.
The resort offers many indigenous guest experiences, such as a tea picking journey with the Jinuo tribe, or tours of the Hani and Dai villages. Xishuangbanna also boasts more than 95 percent of its territory occupied by mountainous and hilly areas, creating ample opportunities for leisure activities including mountain hiking, bird and wildlife spotting, and boat trips along the Luosuo River.
There are also a number of modern comforts to take part in at the resort. Guests will be able to plunge into an expansive outdoor swimming pool set amidst extensive landscaping, use the 24-hour fitness center, enjoy a treatment in one of eight suites at Anantara Spa, or use complimentary iPads in the guest library.
Anantara Xishuangbanna offers several gastronomic opportunities with diverse international cuisine at the all-day dining restaurant, accompanied by a lobby lounge bar and the poolside bar and snack zone, balanced by the rich flavors of local Indo-Chinese cuisine. The resort's Dining by Design and in-villa dining concepts invite guests to create their perfect menu, which can incorporate the local Dai cooking style, in collaboration with a personal chef.

The difference between music and noise
These past few weeks ushered in musical extremes. For Mom's 80th birthday she was treated to an Andrea Bocelli concert. Mom adores Bocelli. Their nightly duet, performed in her kitchen every evening, has become a ritual. Over the clanging of pots and pans, she chops, dices and cooks to Bocelli's beat while belting out the few English lines he sings.

A first suggestion I have already PM to ms_meme was about to turn off IPv6 in Advanced settings of network center, this should save approx. 22 Mb of RAM.Other suggestions are welcome!AS
ms_memeI am not currently using KDE although the biggest gain can be foruld in minimising the use of any compositing (effects) andplasma apps (widgets) also stopping unnecessary apps and services from being used at boot/start up. for the time being turning off ipv6 will help, but at some point we will all have to have ipv6 active.KDE can be made to be quite light - as teh expence of some of the bells and whistles I will look at the KDE install i have tomorrow and have a play about - andy should also have some good ideas here too.the other option is to use XFCE and enable the KDE services at start up - this would allow you to use dolphin as the file manager. (you can just add XFCE to yuor existing KDE install)Jase

Developing economies continue to gain global export share of goods and services in 2012
The preliminary figures show that developing economies continue to gain global exports shares (goods and services, Balance of Payment basis, current US dollars) by reaching unprecedented rise in 2012 and now it stands at 42%. Nevertheless, the growth rate in the same period decreased to 4%, which is much lower than average of 19% in the preceding 2010-2011 years. Furthermore, Africa's share in the world exports of goods and services remained at the same level (3%), while developing Asia continued to increase steadily over the last years reaching 33%
The downward trends of primary commodities prices in 2012 (excluding fuel) seriously impacted the export performance of its major exporters, registering2.5% decrease. On the contrary, the major exporters of petroleum and gas did quite well with 5.0% increase. Nevertheless, developing economies' share in the world trade continues to improve. They now hold 44.4% of the global exports market, while in 2005 that share stood at 36.2%.
A new maritime transport indicator for world seaborne trade by types of cargo and country groups has been added to UNCTADstat statistical portfolio.
The effective exchange rate is an indicator to grasp country's international competitiveness in terms of its foreign exchange rates that cannot be understood by examining only individual exchange rates between the country's currency and other currencies. The term "effective" means that exchange rate changes are not measured against one particular currency, but instead use an average index of a whole basket of currencies, each weighted according to the issuing countries' respective importance as a trade partner.

About Me Parent of Two or More Children
I purchased a Toddler Travel Bed back in May 2012 and have used it a couple times since purchasing it. Its travelled to NY and OR with no problems and my 2yr old loved sleeping in it with no problems! Tonight I inflated it to check it before we go on our next trip and it started leaking immediately. Located a seam split near the side rails and my heart sunk. No way was there anything that could be done. But I called anyways and was give a different answer. A new outer-rim would be sent out right away. Now we are headed out of town early next week and they offered to send it 2day air. So happy with how this was handled. Will definitely shop here again. Thank you

Nylon bedcover for twin air bed is great for tile floors-adds that extra protection and warmth to an otherswise wonderful air bed.
It's a kids pleaser
By Nana
from Cranerry Twp, PA
I bought the bed for my grandson. He loves the bed. It's comfortable, strong and safe. He used it for 8 days. It hold the air well - never had to inflate it again. Make sure you take it out of the box and let it air for a couple of days, because the plastic smell was strong when I first got it out of the box.

Travel Bed
By Mom
from Maine
My three year old loved her travel bed when we slept in a hotel and slept through the night in her travel bed. We were very pleased with the quality and easy set up. We will get a lot of use from this bed. An adult could sleep in it. We used it for three nights and did not have to replenish the air.
Great addition to the mattress
By Grma B
from SD
This cover for the mattress is definitely worth buying. It makes the bed much more stable.

This seems to have little value except the aesthetic. The beds are completely usable without this cover and I can imagine that I won't even put it on in the future.The beds are terrific; the cover is unnecessary.

Absolutely Amazing!
By Kelly
from Juneau, WI
I love this bed and so does my daughter, the only thing I found is once when I slept in the same room with her in it, she rolled out alot, So it could have been a little higher around the outside to keep her contained.

We bought this accessory with the travel bed, but I don't really see the point of it. Maybe it will protect the durability of the bed in the long term.
excellent value and fit.
By Stanley
from Maryland
durable with a good fit. Provides additional protection from accidental damage.
Too expansive for the quality
By Just Me
from Chicago,il
We got this bed for our upcoming trip. We were hoping for a better quality for the money. The bed itself seems delicate and I don't think it will last long. The pump on the other hand is pretty nice (but heavy), and I guess that is why the bed costs that much. Unfortunatly we don't need the pump. We are going to use hand pump that is very lightweight and is going to be much easier to travel with. Too bad the bed is not offered by itself as this would be much better fit for us.

don´t forget the rest of the world...
china will do a great second weekend gross
maybe TF3 will make 1.150 billion
don´t forget the rest of the world...
china will do a great second weekend gross
maybe TF3 will make 1.150 billion
While conducting on lnternet search, I notice one source that claimed Japan has the second largest film market. Is that anywhere near accurate? I ask because we know Japan is the last major market within which DOTM is to be released, and I was curious as to whether that market was large enough to push DOTM over the $1 billion mark?
I don't know about second biggest market, in what regards? Behind another foreign entity outside of the USA and Canada, or behind USA and Canada?
But with that aside, it seems in major foreign markets, DOTM is doubling it's gross from what ROTF got. If the trend continues, I'm seeing 44 million from Japan, and 120ish-130 from China.
I'm sure China and Japan will help push DOTM to 1 bil
"My story is of many thousands, and the world will not suffer if it ends too soon."
I believe this : Transformers will be behind Harry Potter worldwide only to 1 place or 2 and Harry Potter will be behind Transformers only to 1 place or 2 domestically . This gives Transformers the 2011 title at last ....
Also for China and Japan of course i agree these 2 will help Transformers to break the billion but with Harry potter closely behind and then Potter will top Transformers but only to 1 place or 2 as i mentioned before . Unbelievable but this is my thinking and prediction ! BOTH maybe top Lord of the rings or only Potter with Transformers slightly behind it . Beyond the billion everything is uncertain . Viva the Transformers : Entering a new dimension Viva Michael Bay and change your mind ! We want more Transformers films from you
I'm pretty sure China alone has already pushed DOTM to $1 billion by now, considering it's already made $56 million there on its opening weekend (July 21st-24th). So I'm sure when Box Office Mojo updates their statistics in a few days (since it is currently 6 days behind in regards to overseas statistics), it would've passed the $1 billion mark.
Hmm, guess who is winning the Friday box office over TF3, HP8, Captain America and Cowboys & Aliens? That's right - The Smurfs!
OMG seriously?? That is just LOL
Those, who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves. Abraham Lincoln
watched both the smurfs and cowboys and aliens today. smurfs is way better, alot more enjoyable. am not surprised the movie is doing well. also the marketing campaign in my country was alot! the malls even have promotions like- shop for a certain amount and get 2 free tickets etc..
Well, Transformers lost the battle again...
It wasn't third time lucky. HP8 has now officially past TF3, even when TF3 has two weeks more running time at the Box Office compared to HP8. It's just not possible to win against a movie that has over a 100 million more fans world wide compared to Transformers...
I guess there's nothing more to say, than to quote Pvt.Hudson from Aliens:
"That's it man, game over man, game over! What the fuck are we gonna do now? What are we gonna do"
Well it's still without Japan's numbers in it...hopefully it'll give it a bit of a boost
"My story is of many thousands, and the world will not suffer if it ends too soon."
These numbers were essentials to happen but TF3 is now without Japan's numbers and China numbers as well Let's see in one day or two the most Japan & China will boost TF3 and TF3 will top 1st the billion as i hope so But if not this happen TF3 will top the billion slower fo r 1 or 2 days later and much much more I am looking forward for TF3 to win domestically because i know that worldwide will break over much more of the billion 30 days and is so strong HP will be 1 place or 2 over TF3 but both will be broken several records
and now
Domestic: $337,892,000 34.4% + Foreign: $645,000,000 65.6% = Worldwide: $982,892,000
We got to the top ten, and I'm happy with that.
Still, this is only box office, how much money has it won with toys and later on with the DVD/Blu-Ray/Blu-Ray3D release.
These are the estimated worldwide for today
Harry Potter 8 = $1,008.5
Transformers 3 = $982.9
I don't know if this gross including Japan+China gross or only China's ....
That's pretty good for HP... it's only been out for 17 days and it's already over 1 billion! wow! I don't think we have seen the last of Harry Potter
damn, i knew harry would make a billion, but i wanted TF3 to get there first!

New Headers In Rotation
Posted by Bucky in WVb Stuff, tags: Array, Blue Moon, Coal Mining, Comments Section, Current Design, Email, Footer, Good Buddy, Happy Family, Header Image, Hick, Hillbilly, Knack, Line Changes, Moon, Mountaineers, Point Of No Return, Quite Some Time, Red Neck, Redneck, Tag Line, Tagline, Taglines, West Virginia
I have been clamoring for a new blog design for quite some time now, but every time I get right to the point of no return, I back out. I have been with this current design going on two years now, and it is starting to get a little stale. I began working on a custom design, and fired off an email to my good buddy Canucklehead to ask him if he could help me out with a good tagline that would appear in the header.
He asked me why I was changing it, and I told him, and he convinced me that it probably wasn't a good idea.
But I have to do something, I thought. It just the same ol', same ol', day in and day out.
He proceeded to send me a couple of taglines anyway, and I thought of an idea. Why not use the same header image with rotating taglines? I requested a few more taglines from him, and well, he did not disappoint, as I knew he wouldn't. He has a knack for this kind of shit.
Anyway, if you scroll back up to the top of the page, and hit the refresh button on your browser, you will notice that the tag line changes with each refresh. Pretty fuckin' cool, eh?
These are the current taglines in rotation:
- Putting the 'ill' in hillbilly.
- This blog runs on moonshine.
- Red neck, White lies, Blue collar.
- Coal mining and moon shining!
- Making Molehills out of Mountaineers since 1979.
- West Virginia: One Big Happy Family … Literally!
And of course the classic one that has been up there for a while: If you have ever stopped by my house, you came on purpose, because I live on the way to nowhere.
Now that is a great start, but I need some more. So if any of you are feeling creative today, just leave a little tagline in the comments section, and if I like it, I will put it into rotation, and you will get a link to your blog in my footer. Such as Canucklehead has.
So get to it. Come up with a good HillBilly / Hick / Redneck / West Virginia tagline. Let's see what ya got.

Meetup details are available only to members.
Greetings! The purpose of this group is for like minded people in the DC/Nova metro area to meetup and enjoy films classifiable as horror, cult, bizarre, and/or independent. Activities would mostly include film viewings, but other ideas are also welcome. Anyone who is a buff of 1 or more of the above genres has come to the right place. The goal is to have group consensus steer the way. Welcome! Oz
This is a group for movies fans who enjoy watching foreign and independent films. For those who enjoy to talk about movies and critique them. We would meet before or after a movie to socialize and talk about movies. Although this group is meant to bring together people who enjoy all kind of movies, events will not be restricted to watching movies. Events such as dinning, happy hour in-house movie nights will also be scheduled.
There are no upcoming Meetups.
We are a group of movie fans who like to watch foreign movies and independent films. We normally meet before or after the movie over a coffee or a meal to socialize and talk about movies. To help new members find the group, we try to: 1) meet at the same time (25 min before movie starts; 5-10 minutes later, we go in to get seats); 2) meet at an easy-to-find location; 3) sit at the same place (third or fourth center row from the back). See you at the movies!

Next door at Prince Eric's Castle, kids and adults alike will enjoy Under the Sea - Journey of the Little Mermaid (almost identical to the Disney California Adventure version). After walking through an interactive queue, guests board giant clamshells as animation and animatronics retell Ariel's story. Afterward in Ariel's Grotto, guests score one-on-one time with the redheaded mermaid herself as she poses for photos and signs autographs.
"For us, the Fantasyland expansion was more than we could have imagined," Lee says. "It was like being immersed in the stories of Belle and Ariel, not just visiting attractions."
Lee and her family were also impressed with Storybook Circus, which opened over the summer. This portion of the park includes a water play area, tame roller coaster and gift shop. The revamped Dumbo ride, with its new indoor queue lounge, is a crowd pleaser for parents who want to sit down for a bit and children who want to enjoy an elaborate playground. Guests receive a pager that virtually holds their place in line; it lights up when it's time to board the ride. Another option is to grab a FastPass and wait in a traditional line outdoors.
Overall, the new additions certainly have Disney fans aflutter, but will this translate to an influx of Orlando visitors?
Danielle Courtenay, chief marketing officer for Visit Orlando, thinks so.
"When any major new attraction opens in Orlando, there's always a positive impact in terms of increased awareness and interest in the destination," she says. "With New Fantasyland being the largest expansion in Magic Kingdom history, we are certainly optimistic that it will impact visitation for 2013 and beyond."
Coming soon
Princess Fairytale Hall is scheduled to open in 2013 in the former home of Snow White's Scary Adventures. Located in the Castle Courtyard in the center of Fantasyland, it will be a place for guests to meet Disney princess characters.
Come early 2014, the finishing touch will be a roller coaster, the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, in the heart of it all. This family thrill ride will be an experience somewhere in between the tame Barnstormer, a re-themed "beginner's coaster," and the classic Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. With its patented train of vehicles that swing back and forth, the attraction will be the first of its kind.
