Anyone moved from London/south to East Midlands? happy or not?(71 Posts)
Just really wanted to hear how the transition went for you, any pleasant/unpleasant surprises? do you find people friendly or sticking to their own? are social divides more noticeable than in london (I don't mean money, but in london all sorts tend to mix apart from mega-rich)?
Any tips re nice countryside (to walk/visit)?
Obviously I know that a bigger house is a plus, but apart from that.
Yes, recently moved from SE to the East Midlands. So far so good .
People are very friendly but then they were where I lived before. My observations are that people do a lot more - exercise, improving activities, book clubs, volunteering, socialising - but that's a function of everyone being home from work by 5/6pm. Where we lived before (commuter land) it was typical for the dh (very occasionally the dw) to work in London and not be home until 8/9pm and to travel a lot so these things were harder.
The other thing I've noticed is that people take their shoes off when they visit people's houses. Very rarely came across this where we used to live!
Happy to answer anything about areas, schools etc by PM.
We did it, almost 3 years ago now, for DH's work. Overall, we're very glad we did - a much better quality of life especially with small DC.
thank you, MrsJohn and TheElement!
Sounds positive - from my visits I noticed that people aer quite active and less tired than londoners, so it confirms it.
Will pm a bit later, Mrs.
What about better/worse areas, meaning nicer countryside generally? any 'cultural' places? I've heard on 'Best of both worlds' (Kirsty) htat Leicester has some culture but she didn't go onto detail. Though for me easy access to nice country surrounds (though I won't live in a village now) are even more important.
Btw, any cons, compared to SE? could as well prepare myself
shoes off - noticed with some vendors when viewing but they were of euro origin. The trad English couple (though young) didn't ask for that.
It's all about the location IMHO.
I moved to the Midlands 17 years ago; missed my chums for ages but found lots more up here. All the major cities have some culture for example Derby has an International Photo Festival each year...you just have to seek out 'culture' a little more. Plus more chance of bigger house for your money and of getting an allotment.
We used to live in the E Midlands. There is some beautiful countryside with choc box villages - like the Cotswolds but without the tourists.
Which part of the area are you looking at?
To the East of Leicester, the area around Melton Mowbray - Oakham is lovely if you like country towns and villages.
Communications are very good as you have the M1/A1/M69/M42 all very handy and there are plenty of trains that get you to London in well under 2hrs.
It's very different from the SE, but we loved living there. Nottingham/Leicester and Derby are the 3 main cities and all have something to offer.
We are twixt Lincoln and Grantham...lots of RAF activity.Grammar schools etc.Hoping to move in 3 years as don't like it...you can get lots of property for your money if you are selling property in London.
Funky, thanks for the info re festivals. What about best aeras for country walks/scenery?
matey, I'm mainly considering Derby as it's on a quicker train line than Nott, and it has good parks (but still am a bit undecided - maybe due to it's being unfamiliar). From vague memory I didn't like Leicester, but maybe I should look at it? My budget is plenty for all these three cities, but I think Oakham etc are more expensive - and the links to london not so good.
Still great to know where to visit - I do like country towns/villages. Didn't realise that it's on the par with cotswolds over there, thank for that. Any other specific places - please let me know.
thanks, Dooby, I'm not really looking at that northern end as it's slower to london, and smaller cities. Are you moving elsewhere in the Mids or a different place? RAF wouldn't attract me either , is there anything else you don't like?
I happened to sell two yrs ago (in london) so I got less than what I would have done now, but yes, I'm mainly choosing the area for its good value property, and good links.
Back to Suffolk Hurrah...where I grew up.I used to live in Derby about 40 years ago though...did gothere a fewyears ago for a courseand was impressed with what I saw.I got the train and walked to the Nursing place I had a meeting at...leafy and boulevardy
Did commute from GranthamtoLondon for a while...v expensive and knackering.Schools re Grammar if that is what you are after are good.
Culturally I think lacking though and obv the airforce presence isn't everyones cup oftea..tho you do see the red arrows training.
Forget Oakham if you want to commute to London.
Have another look at Leicester (has a John Lewis). The inner city estates are not too pleasant but there are lovely areas to the south of the city, such as Clarendon Park, Stoneygate and Knighton. These areas are a walk or bus to the station.
Further south you have Market Harborough (with a station) becoming popular and pricey.
Between the two mentioned you have Oadby (Waitrose) and Great Glen.
People tend to be friendly. Shop in the same place a few times...
In the pubs you'll always get a greeting at Great Glen or the Langtons.
Dooby, ah Suffolk is really nice! I wistfully looked at it on roghtmove - so much character houses, but for me it's too remote, and connection to london is to Liv street which is miles away from where I usually am in london. But you are lucky if it suits your life.
Lamb, yes not considering Oakham. I've heard that there might be a JL in derby too eventually (in a few yrs time if the development gets permission). Yes, Clarendon Park was mentioned on this week's programme. Would you still shop in hte centre - and is it ok? what about parks? I'm leaning towards Derby at the moment due to nice town centre and parks. How does it compare, in your opinion? And do you know anything about 'culture' in Leic as mentioned by Kirsty?
I've been to Maket H couple of years ago, but I didn't warm up to it somehow - too small for me I think or maybe too quiet. It's ok but I wasn't charmed.
I actually think i'd like Uppingham and Oakham both of which I saw on tv, but the trains aren't good.
so MANY houses
I'm not particularly keen on Leicester.
Derby has the Westfield shopping centre which is nice and new, but I've always thought feels more like a town than a city
Nottingham city centre is the biggest of the 3 and probably your best bet for interesting things/culture
Lincoln is lovely but not so great for getting anywhere else from.
Countrysidewise I like the peak but would say live somewhere you can drive to the peak from rather than in it if you will need to commute.
Leicester has good bits and bad bits. As Lambstales says, the suburbs of Clarendon Park, Stoneygate and Knighton are pleasant and leafy, with a choice of decent schools and local shopping streets with cafes and delis. Crucially, it has John Lewis and a Waitrose, which were amongst my conditions for choosing a city
Culturally, there are a few theatres and art galleries, which provide some interesting stuff for adults and DC - have a look at The Curve, De Montfort Hall and Embrace Arts. The Phoenix is the arts cinema and has a nice cafe doing good dinner deals. There are also a couple of nice little museums - my DC love the dinosaurs at New Walk Museum.
It also doesn't take long to drive out to some rather nice surrounding countryside.
I'm not a huge fan of Derby, Leicester or Nottingham, but I'm not a city person. N'ham is my favourite of the 3. But all have wonderful countryside and lovely villages nearby.
Do you have Dcs? If so, were you planning on state or private schools? That might help you narrow the search down to certain areas. We ruled put a fair few houses/villages in Derbyshire and Notts on the basis of schools (secondary more than primary).
Tyranasaurus, agree that Derby feels like a town, but that's not a bad thing for me. I'd actually not wat to live in big mids city (Birmingham makes me shudder with all the industrial look and vast distances), I'd really only live in London out of all big cities in the south half of the country. Otherwise I'm happy to live in a town if it's pleasant and has nice countryside around. I don't want to cross long distance through a city or stick to one nice suburb. From this point of view, Derby is nice and convenient with some really nice shops/places to eat ther now, and history to a place.
Is the peak easy distance from derby?
TheElement, thanks for this - very useful, even if I dont live in leicester it will be nearby. re JL and waitrose! no waitrose in derby (though there is m&s) which is not great but they talk about a new John Lewis in the centre.
What are good thing s about Nott? no dc, but my mum will be staying with me often as she is getting older so I need a place with good buses/trains. I'd like a nice large village theoretically, but not atm for various reasons.
I used to live in Surrey and now live in Leicestershire. Love it. I do miss my friends from down South but housing and cost of living is so much more realistic here. Leicester City Centre only 10-15 minutes away has everything you need, but we are surrounded by beautiful countryside. People will talk to you on public transport rather than edge away from you or ignore, as they do in London!
I live in Derby! Feel very positive about it mostly!
I live close to Elvaston Castle, it's very pretty and very green were I am.
Dc both attend really good schools, the Westfield is brilliant for shopping, excellent hospitals (but I am a little biased as work in one of them).
Close to EMA and M1.
PM me if you need anything else and I will be as honest as I can!
I'm not far from you then needadvice5. Not far at all.
Biggest mistake of my life. Once you move up it's very hard to move back again.
coffee, you mean a financial mistake? or more than that?
Sugar can you point me to the specific places to go and see regarding beautiful countryside?
Need, will pm. What's EMA?<ignorant>
btw coffee, I think East Mids will be on the up soon, price-wise, the best of it anyway. Quite an active market currently.
I wish the trains to london were faster though.

text: I have read some articles/test reviews on thickness planers and I am trying to decide which is the the better overall of the two. I have heard that the blades on the DeWalt go out fast, like after 80 board feet and are not cheap to replace, but easy. The DeWalt has two speeds where the Ridgid only has one, and the the Ridgis has two blades and the DeWalt has three. Does anyone have any input on either one? Any information would be helpful.

And I don't mean this metaphorically. I'm not talking about a fiscal cliff or a socialist America. I'm bored, frankly, of politics, so I'm spending the next few days reading about cool stuff I don't understand.
Like Black Holes. And what happens when you fall into them. From Scientific American:
According to current theories of physics, a black hole is mostly just empty space. Its perimeter or "event horizon" is not a material surface, but just a hypothetical location that marks the point of no return. Once inside, you are gripped too tightly by gravity ever to get back out. By then, falling at nearly the speed of light, you have a few seconds to look around before you reach the very center and get crushed into oblivion. But nothing noticeable should happen at the moment of crossing. One of Einstein's great insights was that observers who are freely falling—whether into a black hole or toward the ground—don't feel the force of gravity, since everything around them is falling, too. As they say, it's not the fall that kills you; it's the sudden stop at the end.
Do you get all stretchy? Unclear:
To the infalling observer, space looks like a vacuum, and in quantum theory, a vacuum is a very special state of affairs. It is a region of space that is empty of particles. It is not a region that is empty of everything. There's no getting rid of the electromagnetic field and other fields. (If you could, the region would not merely be empty, but nonexistent.) A particle is nothing more or less than a vibration one of these fields, and what makes a vacuum a vacuum is that all the possible vibrations cancel one another precisely, leaving the fields becalmed. To maintain this finely balanced condition, the vibrations must be thoroughly quantum-entangled with one another.
To the outgoing observer, the horizon (or membrane) cleaves space in two, and the vibrations no longer appear to cancel out. It looks like there are particles flying off in every direction. This is perfectly compatible with the infalling observer's viewpoint, since the fields are what is fundamental and the presence of particles is a matter of perspective. To put it differently, emptiness is a holistic property in quantum physics—true for a region of space in its entirety, but not for individual subregions.
I'm lost. I feel like falling into a black hole can't be any more baffling than reading about falling into a black hole. But at least I'm not alone:
Someone falling into a black hole doesn't pass uneventfully through the horizon, but hits a wall of fire and is instantly incinerated. "I think it's crazy," [physicist Joe] Polchinski admitted. But in order for a black hole to decay and its contents to spill out, as quantum mechanics demands, the infalling observer can't see just a vacuum. The firewall idea strikes me as similar to past speculation that black holes are somehow material objects—so-called black stars or dark matter stars—rather than merely blank space.
"I spent 20 years confused by this," Polchinski said, "and now I'm as confused as ever." It would be nice to answer the question, if only so that no one ever has to undertake the journey to answer the question.
Actually, I have a better example: after a holiday feast, plump with sugar and animal fat and wine and dairy, I fall into a black hole. On the sofa.

Reading the coverage ...
Houston Texans
Kicker Randy Bullock didn't get his chance because of a torn groin, says John McClain of the Houston Chronicle.
The Texans made their first round of roster moves, and it included putting linebacker Daryl Sharpton on PUP, says McClain.
Indianapolis Colts
Excerpts of what Chuck Pagano had to say after the Colts traded for Miami cornerback Vontae Davis, from the Indy Star.
Davis gives the Colts a fast, physical corner who's only 24 says Pete Prisco of CBS Sports.
The Dolphins' trade of Davis leaves David Hyde of the Florida Sun-Sentinel asking if coach Joe Philbin is shrewd enough.
Considering Stanford after Andrew Luck, with Matt Brown of Sports on Earth.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Cameron Bradfield's worked his way up and is now the Jaguars' starting right tackle, says Vito Stellino.
Laurent Robinson's troubles so far are just as much the fault of Blaine Gabbert, says Nate Dunlevy of Bleacher Report.
Clinton Portis sees Maurice Jones-Drew as the league's last every-down back and thinks MJD deserves a new deal, says Vito Stellino.
Tennessee Titans
Receiver Lavelle Hawkins had a quiet camp, says Jim Wyatt and John Glennon of The Tennessean.
The Titans' first wave of roster cuts included undrafted center William Vlachos out of Alabama, says Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean.
The Titans soon have to make a decision on defensive end Dave Ball, says Glennon.

As you can see she is absolutely delighted with it! Simmer Dim is by Gudrun Johnston, The Shetland Trader and knit in Eden Cottage Yarns Harewood 4ply in Perwinkle(Dark) that Rosie chose at Yarndale last year. I loved knitting this pattern and it's very likely that I will knit one for myself in the not too distant future.
I have also made some progress on my Whispering Island Shawl by Helen Stewart of Curious Handmade.
Close up of the pattern. Knit in Rowanspun DK from deepest stash.
There was also a couple of yarn purchases in January. I bought the yarn for my next cardigan project, I'm planning to knit the Scollay by Karie Westerman in Blacker Yarns Lyonesse.
I also decided that I would join in the Snowmelt mystery knit along by Helen of Curious Handmade. After much deliberation I decided to use Islington by Kettle Yarn Co in Blighty, Siren Call and l'Heure bleue.

Puppy: Jersey
Friends: 2
Member Since: January 24, 2012Add to Friends
Hi everyone! My name is Jersey and I am a purebred cocker spaniel. I am black and white parti colored with ticking and I would love to be a doggie model! (My mom says I can do anything I want in life, so, I choose to show off my beauty!) I share a loving home with my mom and dad, my mom's mom and dad, my litter sister and three other cockers. I never get bored around here with so much to do and play with. All of us dogs are so spoiled, and I'm really glad to be part of this family. I'm lucky to have my sister, Gracie, with me b/c we would otherwise be separated and the other dogs here don't rough house the way we do...they're too old! I was born on September 19, 2011 so I'm still a young pup. So far my life has been so much fun...other than the occasional bath, nail clippings and ear cleanings...I love going for rides in the car and I love to meet new people. That's all I have for now, I need to get back to chewing my hoof with my sister! You can drop me a line if you have any questions or comments, my mom or I will be sure to get back to you! Thanks for checking out my puppy profile! Have an absolutely fabulous day! *muah* JerseyView Profile

Jonah - "The Lord, his God"
Jonah, according to Hebrew tradition, was the son of the widow, whom Elijah, the prophet, raised from the dead at Zarephath of Sidon (II Kings 17:10-24). He was a prophet in the Northern Kingdom of Israel around 825-784 BC. Therefore, Jonah prophesied during the reign of Jeroboam II, the King of Samaria (II Kings 14:25).
The Holy Book of Jonah in the Old Testament tells the familiar story of Jonah, the fleeing prophet. Forty-eight verses comprise the entire story. This is a story of a legendary character with a nature similar to our own. Jonah, a contemporary of the prophet Amos, had faults, shortcomings, and weaknesses.
The Lord chose Jonah the Prophet despite his faults and used his weaknesses to make him stronger. The Lord worked through him, in him, and with him to give him guidance and to teach him. Mentally and spiritually Jonah benefited from many lessons within his Old Testament Book. Let us more closely examine why perhaps the Lord loved Jonah.
"Now the Word of the Lord came to Jonah, saying 'Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.' Upon hearing this, Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord" (Jonah 1:1-2).

The Role of the Church and Servants in Ministry
God bestows His gifts on the church for a certain purpose which is for the sake of equipping the saints and preparing them for the work of ministry with the main goal that they may be able to edify the body of Christ. He gives some to be apostles, preachers, evangelists to do what needs to be done in order to bring God's people back to Him in repentance. Ministry is mainly service; and in order for it to be carried out successfully, preparing and equipping servants is the main concern of the church. Preparatory classes for servants are therefore not an invention of the church; but are biblically mandated having been practiced by Christ himself. However, completing a three or four year program in Ritual Theology and other subjects comprises only a small percentage of the equipping process. For full equipment more than that is required.

How To Learn Kendo Movements More Easily and Quickly
"Stop Learning Kendo in a hard way! At Last! You Can Learn Kendo Movements More Easily and Quickly Without Getting Frustrated"
Eye Opening Methods of Easy and Quick Kendo Learning
Dear Kendo Enthusiast,
Let's face it, kendo learning is tough! There's no doubt, almost every single beginner struggle to learn kendo movements. Of course, some people will tell you will do fine; you can get the movements right as you progress.
WRONG! If you think about it, if you don't get the RIGHT movements at the beginning, you will practice wrong movements over and over until it will be too late to fix!
Just take a look at people around you struggling to learn the basic movements after a few years of training… I know a lot of people struggling to master advanced techniques because they did not get the right movements at the beginning..
The big problem is that most books just introduce the kendo movements WITHOUT giving you enough information about "how to acquire the movements right". It is all up to you to figure out how to get the movements correctly.
Sound at all familiar?
But now there's good news!…
Now you can discover…
The work is divided up into five sections:
Section I: Kendo Basic Knowledge
- Explanation of Etiquette/Manners with Iaito
- How to Carry Your Sword and Why
- How to Grab a Sword and Why
- How to Fix Your grip and more
Section II: How to Strike
- The process of Striking
- Fix Your Strike with a ball
- Suburi in seiza
- Self-checking methods
Section III: Footwork
- How to Get The Idea Of Kendo Footwork
- How to Get the Right Footwork
- How to Get Rid of the habit of "Dragging"
Section IV: Fumikomi
- The Purpose of Fumikomi
- Change Your View of Fumikomi
- How to Improve Your Fumikomi
Section V: Extra
- Tenouchi – More than Just a Grip –
- How to Improve your tenouchi
- Small Men Strike
- Teachings from a 9-dan Sensei and more…
As you can see these really are the lessons that all the kendo enthusiasts want to know about but until now no one really puts them this way. (Even if you're an instructor you'll benefit from the video because you'll be able to approach your students in a way that they can get the movements quickly.)
Just imagine being able to perform the movements right away…without getting frustrated!
That's why this "How to Learn Kendo Movements More Easily and Quickly (46 minutes and 37 seconds) is only $29.95! (Don't worry downloading everything is a snap and it works for both PC and MAC users plus you still get all the bonuses listed below.)
Needless to say, this information is packed with the valuable techniques to learn kendo movements easily and quickly, which unfortunately you do not really hear unless you are in Japan.
Truth is, you'll never find this unique yet in-depth information in any manual available, because the information you get in this video is what I learned through the course of my learning and instructing kendo.
I decided to make this available because I want you to
- keep practicing kendo,
- acquire the right movements from the beginning,
- lean the firm basics,
- build techniques easily upon the firm basics,
- find kendo fun,
- become a great sensei and…
- lead the next generations!
Maintain Your Body For Kendo (US$79.95 Value)
In this video, you are going to learn what you should do to maintain your body so that you will not get injured during your training.

He gave us about 2 hour seminar on 12/15, 2012 over what we should and how we should treat our body so that we will not only prevent injuries but also gain more strengths.
This will be yours in DVD.

Daily Exercise Routine for Kendo (US49.95 Value)
My kendo life is also a history of injuries; left wrist, lower back (several different problems), left shoulder, right shoulder, left Achilles tendon. I have MCL and ACL torn in my left knee (not from kendo). I had surgeries on my left shoulder and left knee.
I want to keep training kendo and thanks to Dr. Golden, I now know how I should maintain my body to continue kendo and avoid injuries.
This video shows good exercises for kendo people. These are exercises and stretching methods that I do daily to maintain my body for kendo.
This video includes
"Daily Exercise Routine for Kendo"
- How we should use a ball to fire up our body (Using the method introduced in "How to Maintain Your Body For Kendo", I show you how it really works and what you should be paying attention to while doing that)
- What I do to increase and maintain my flexibility (I can now do a centre split and have my chest touch the floor!)
Since I have serious shoulder injuries, I included
- How to make shoulders stronger (By these exercises, my shoulders can last longer without feeling pains)
- Strengthen the core (These exercises are good if you have chronic back pains. Of course, you should consult with your doctor if you should be doing these exercises)
- How to increase shoulder endurance and speed for kendo (As you can see in the picture, the aim of these exercises is to enhance the speed of your swing and to strengthen muscles and endurance of arms and shoulders.
- Hindu Push-ups (I like the push-ups because this strengthens the core as well and to increase flexibilities. * This is not good for unstable shoulder blades)
- And more!
(1 hour 3 min 41 seconds)
I will keep adding exercises as I learn new ones.

"American adults who are new to Kendo really need stuff and extra info like the kind in the video because"
Great Video! It definitely cleared up some of the intricate details that are sometimes missed, even at the most basic level.
The "quick" learning examples were EXTREMELY helpful in taking me from the idea of what I needed to do, to the actual experience of doing it, and knowing how it should feel.
American adults who are new to Kendo really need stuff and extra info like the kind in the video because at first glimpse Kendo seems so unfamiliar.
The video brings everyday actions and movements into their place in Kendo, making it all so much more natural.
Thanks so much!
– Keith from NC, USA
"The movement mechanism is very clear"
I´d liked very much this video. The movement mechanism is very clear. I think is a good idea show movement as they are on normal life.
– Douglas from São Paulo, Brazil
"How to use movements from everyday life for learning Kendo movements"
I really like the video, especially the explanations on how to use movements from everyday life for learning Kendo movements.
– Ralf from Baden-Württemberg, Germany
"beginners need in order to know where we have to focus on when we are starting Kendo"
The video is great!. I think it's reasonably priced.
I think this kind of work is what we beginners need in order to know where we have to focus on when we are starting Kendo.
It would be great if you could produce more of this kind of videos in the near future.
Thank you very much for your great work promoting such a beautiful activity!!.
Best regards,
– Javier from Madrid, Spain
"This is a very good 'trick'"
Hi Hiro!
First of all: thank you very much for the videos; they're great (and sorry for my bad English)!
For me, the "how to fix the grip"-part was very interesting … I think, this is a very good "trick". In the dojo, they told me how to grip the shinai correctly but I've had often problems with that (" … only two fingers?" etc.) … now everything is easy and relaxed.
I would like to see more of these tricks (i. e. the part with the ball) … I think that helps a lot – I often know, what I'm doing wrong but have no idea how to realize the correct form.
best regards!
– Dirk from Germany
"Video was simply perfect"
In my opinion the video was simply perfect. Then again, I thank Imafuji for ever existing!
– Eny from Sao Paulo, Brazil
"I'll say to anyone interested in kendo that the video is priceless"
The video is very helpful, since there is no dojo around I was struggling with kamae and tenouchi, mainly because I couldn't tell if I was wrong or right. And I didn't want to go on practicing the wrong way.
I'll say to anyone interested in kendo that the video is priceless.
– Bruno from Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico
"Your suggestions and examples are very easy to understand that I really would like to visit your dojo in Indiana…"
First of all: I beg your pardon for my English, but if you'll be patient I'll try to explain what I think.
I discovered your site and everything you did from your some videos on Youtube: there I recognized the extremely high quality of your way of teaching, among a great deal of superficial and bad (just to use formal and polite expressions!) examples.
I don't want to tease you: it is just to say that these are my first steps in this direction, but I've already elected you as my ideal sensei: your explanations are so clear, your suggestions and examples are very easy to understand that I really would like to visit your dojo in Indiana…
So, thanks a lot for everything you did: step by step I hope to be able (in particular hoping to find enough time!) to discover, with your help, this world.
Cheers, sensei, and arigato gozaimashita!
– Matteo from Padova, Italy
"I have been having an ongoing problem with my Fumikomi.[…] With the way it was broken down, I have found it helpful"
I just have purchased How to learn Kendo More Easily. I found it a very informative video. I have been using some of the technique already. But the second half will help me out the greatest.
I have been having an ongoing problem with my Fumikomi. I was leaning forward. Now with the way it was broken down, I have found it helpful.
I have also enjoyed the small men. Over all I enjoyed the video and found very useful teaching technique in it.
– Stephen from Ontario, Canada
I haven't finished watching the video yet, but I loved what I've seen so far (30min). Congratulations!!
– Lara from DF, Brazil
"One of the best I have come across for learning good fundamentals"
It was an excellent video. One of the best I have come across for learning good fundamentals. I also liked how Hiro tied Kendo to the real sword as he did with "small men."
– Gary from Utah, USA

Hi all,
I am looking to plant some Lavatera or tree mallow, but when im looking online I can only see annual seed or dwarf bushes.
Does anyone know where I could find either a small plant or some seeds of the perennial types

Hi all,
I am looking to plant some Lavatera or tree mallow, but when im looking online I can only see annual seed or dwarf bushes.
Does anyone know where I could find either a small plant or some seeds of the perennial types
02 Feb 2013 07:14
I think Dave what you are looking for is Hibiscus which is a tender perennial with larger more exotic flowers than the tree mallow-all from the same family
So can go outside but is not frost hardy-does need warmth to flower
Plants should be readily available around March/ April onwards
02 Feb 2013 07:35
Thanks Geoff, but its definitely not Hibiscus around me there are lavatera by the bucket load in peoples gardens, some have been there for several years now and are quite big now. I might have to bite the bullet and ask if I can take a cutting from one if I cant find a young plant or seed. I did get some seeds from a tree in Portugal last year but can't remember where I put them.
02 Feb 2013 07:44
hang on, I just saw a post on google that says Hibiscus rose of sharon, which is what I saw, lavatera rose of sharon. The hibiscus flower looks quite different to the ones near me. It is around 8ft tall and looks like this
02 Feb 2013 07:46
and this: Lavatera brendon springs
02 Feb 2013 08:07
This of those daft things were one plant is called by different names-your pictures I would call lavatera or tree mallow not hibiscus-confusion reigns
02 Feb 2013 08:55
Probably Lavatera arborea or one of the hybrids/cultivars like 'Barnsley'
Seems to have got enough synonyms to confuse anyone
02 Feb 2013 09:14
Tell me about it, it seems to have lots of names and types, I just want to make sure I end up with the right one which is proving to be a problem.
this one looks right but then its a dwarf 90cm
02 Feb 2013 09:33
Dave, they're easy from cuttings, (even for me). If you've seen one you like go and ask for a piece. Check to see what it looks like in winter, mine was a sorry drab mess, I got rid of it
L. arborea will come from seed but all those larger flowered, different colours, hybrids/cultivars won't be as the parent
02 Feb 2013 09:34
I have both Hibiscus and perennial Lavatera. They are quite different plants.
The shrubby perennial Lavateras I have is Lavatera Olbia. More details:
T&M used to offer this as seed. I grew mine from their seed many years ago, and still have the plants.
The plant went out of fashion, and is not listed in their current seed catalogue. But I would have thought that other seed suppliers would have that, or more modern and improved varieties.
02 Feb 2013 09:40
Even more to choose from. Definitely get a cutting from one you like the look of. Only way to be sure.
02 Feb 2013 09:49
These plants self seed quite readily.
So if someone has has them in their garden, it's likely that they will have some small plants, which are normally considered 'weeds' and get pulled up and thrown out.
They have tap roots (like very thin carrots) so care is required when transplanting. But they are not difficult to transplant.
02 Feb 2013 09:51
They are weeds, short term fillers in at best.
02 Feb 2013 10:47
From the link that nutcutlet posted fron the RHS
"Lavatera can be annuals, biennials, perennials or subshrubs, with long-stalked, palmately lobed leaves and large, funnel-shaped flowers in summer"
says it all really
And this is what they say about hibiscus
"Hibiscus can be deciduous or evergreen shrubs, trees, annuals or perennials, with simple or palmately lobed leaves and large, funnel-shaped flowers over a long flowering season"
Says it all really again
02 Feb 2013 10:53
I bought a lavatera "Barnsley" some years ago. It grew into a large rather floppy shrub, covered in pale pink flowers. I pruned it to a few inches each year and it grew back bigger each time. Then I notices new plants growing around it. After about 5 years the original died and I let three of the babies grow up. They have much darker pink flowers, which I prefer and they are about 4' tall, the first one was over 5'. I wouldn't call them weeds!
02 Feb 2013 12:23
I agree about asking to take cuttings from a shrub with the flower colour that you want.
Thay are easy plants to grow, but inclined to windrock damage, being quite shallow rooted, so I do a bit of a tidy up in the autumn, then the proper cut back early in spring. That way I dont end up with a monster that needs support!
Just to confuse the issue, I also grow the annual mallow seeds as well. J.
02 Feb 2013 19:22
I have a Lavatera 'Barnsley Baby' in my garden and the flowers were beautiful when it last bloomed. I bought it for about £2.00 from Morrisons last summer. It soon grew!
03 Feb 2013 00:40
My Lavatera, Barnsley has white flowers with red centre's, it's a semi evergreen shrub. Flowers June to September not had a problem yet with it self seeding.
03 Feb 2013 09:32
The RHS photo in this link is like my original, I said pale pink, Zoomer said white, RHS says both!
03 Feb 2013 18:33
My eye sight mustn't be as good as it was, it possibly did go a pale pink at the end of the summer but the change went unnoticed, I checked the picture which came with the plant from greenline and it looks white, must have been taken at the beginning of the summer and not the end

US actor Ed O'Neill's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is appropriately placed: in front of a shoe shop on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles.
Ed earned his fame playing shoe salesman Al Bundy on the long-running sitcom Married With Children.
The actor, 65, was joined by Katey Sagal, who portrayed his obnoxious wife, Peg, on the comedy Married ... With Children.
He was also joined by Sofia Vergara, his spouse, Gloria, on his current series, Modern Family, for the late-morning ceremony.
He called the honour overwhelming and thanked fans, quipping: "Just think, somewhere in this world a baby girl is being born and she is going to be my next wife."
The actor's fictional wives Sofia and Katey are 26 and 11 years his junior respectively.

As far as the Twitterverse is concerned, Chuck Hagel's confirmation isn't going well, and liberals and conservatives alike are piling on the former Nebraska senator. Selected commentary collected below:
This Hagel hearing is a disaster.
— andrew kaczynski🤔 (@KFILE) January 31, 2013
Basically, Hagel does not seem very sharp.
— Blake Hounshell (@blakehounshell) January 31, 2013
Hagel has been pretty shaky thus far, right?
— Chris Cillizza (@CillizzaCNN) January 31, 2013
When does Joe Torre come to the mound to take Hagel out?
— Josh Greenman (@joshgreenman) January 31, 2013
Not impressed by Hagel so far. This is one of the toughest jobs in govt. He needs to do better.
— Tom Wright (@thomaswright08) January 31, 2013
this hearing is beginning to remind me of the 1st Obama-Romney debate
— Peter Beinart (@PeterBeinart) January 31, 2013
It's probably dawning on Sens. who didn't serve w/Hagel that he's just not very bright. Exchange w/McCain unresponsive & bumbling.
— Brit Hume (@brithume) January 31, 2013
Hagel soon: I forgot to turn off my stove. I've got to run.
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahNRO) January 31, 2013
This is as bad a performance at a confirmation hearing as I've ever seen. Doesn't mean he won't get through, but wow.
— John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) January 31, 2013
Seriously, did they not prep him or he wouldn't be prepped or is he not bright? Never seen a witness do this bad…
— Jennifer Rubin (@JRubinBlogger) January 31, 2013
Hagel is struggling. Even those who agree w/him and hope he's confirmed must realize this is a very poor performance.
— Stephen Hayes (@stephenfhayes) January 31, 2013
I'm willing to give @ChuckSchumer a Mulligan on #Hagel. I imagine he's looking for one.

I had to start using an Ubuntu box at work again, so I've got some fresh (or refreshed?) hate to unload. Since some of you seem to think I'm doing this to be constructively critical of Linux (you can think whatever the hell you want), I'll write these as if I was dropping notes into a suggestions box:
Please add a --shit-that-fucking-works flag to apt-cache search
How many hours do I have to waste wading through the monument of shit known as the debian package repository? I cringe to think of all the hours wasted arguing about how to correctly package apps and libraries that just don't work to start with. As a user, I don't care that the repository contains fuckteen different twitter clients. Could you just tell me the three that work? Oh wait, actually, this is open source, so could you tell me which one is th only one that kinda works?
Not only are you distracting me with having to try shit that doesn't work, you also are bewildering me with choices, most of which I don't care about, and most of which I have to spend time figuring out that I don't care about.
If you haven't seen this talk on the paradox of choice, go see it.
Everytime I use apt, I think I experience all the negatives that this guy talks about. 10 bazillion packages! Hurray! I don't even feel like trying to find one anymore.
I'm sure somebody is going to point out that on Ubuntu, that's why they separate main and universe and multiverse. Like main is supposed to be the good shit, and the rest of it is, like, whatever. Well you know what? If I stick to just the main repository on Ubuntu, then the whole thing sucks African gorilla cock. So don't go telling me that it's great because there's all these packages but then only 100 of them are actually useful. Because if you compare that set to what's available on a real desktop OS, it's just pathetic.
Please don't switch the Chromium PPA builds to 64bit on Ubuntu AMD64
The Chromium project recently made some noise about going 64 bit. I'm pretty sure that the Chromium PPA folks are going to switch to the x64 build for Ubuntu x64 as soon as they can.
Can I jus remind you that the Flash plugin for 64 bit is still alpha? and still crashes all the fucking time?
The greatest thing about the Chromium PPA is that its 32bit! I can actually use a stable flash build (though there are other issues), and it kinda mostly works. I can't say that for 64bit firefox and 64bit flash.
A lot of people have been using 32bit stuff for a long time. And especially in open source, that's the only way you know that something has a chance in hell of working.
Oh and BTW. Did anyone notice that Snow Leopard implemented browser plugins in separate processes? They pretty much made nspluginwrapper. Except it works, apparently.
So let's take stock. Yes, nspluginwrapper has been around for a long time. It's kind of a good idea and kinda works. Then Apple folks decided to do it, and it was done.
Sadly, so typical. The freetard line about, "oh open source is so flexible, it often implements new things first". Well you know what? When an idea is actually good, commercial companies still seem to be able to better implement these new things in less overall time.
Anyways, I think I've got a few more suggestions, but they'll have to wait.

Many of the monuments on this blog are great works of art. Others are quite simple, yet powerful in their own way. This monument is located on Bodega Head, just outside the fishing community of Bodega Bay, California. It looks west over the Pacific. At one time Bodega Bay was one of the largest salmon fishing ports in the world. It is now reduced in size, yet fishing remains a vital part of the local economy. There is seldom a year where local fishermen are not not lost at sea.

Magic in the kitchen is really all about enhancing flavor and, whenever possible adding nutrition. That often means very expensive little jars of flavorings, extracts and packages of fresh herbs.
Recently I discovered a way to make many of those extra special ingredients at home for much less money (thank you, doomsday preppers). I started with dehydrated tomatoes. I used both fresh from the garden, and a #10 can of diced organic tomatoes from Costco ($2.79 for the whole thing). It seems like a lot, but the end product could easily fit into a 1 gallon zip lock or a couple of quart jars. It took about 24 hours (time can vary) to get the tomatoes to a dehydrated state. I loaded up the spice grinder, and pulsed until the tomatoes were a fine powder.
After grinding, press the powder through a sieve to remove the large pieces. Save the larger pieces to use in soups or as a sprinkle on garnish.
Store the powder in the cupboard in a tightly capped glass jar. Add a spoonful to sauces, soups, homemade pasta dough, almost anywhere you would like to have the tomato flavor with out the need to reduce the water content. Careful though, it's pretty intense flavoring.
Another really great flavor enhancer is mushroom powder. This is very expensive to buy so making it at home is a real money saver, and it's also a stealthy way to add great mushroom flavor to any dish without upsetting all the anti-mushroom eaters. I bought the mushrooms on sale. I cleaned and sliced the mushrooms and put them in the microwave for about 1 minute. This enhances the flavor. (Some people even cook them first, or use the mushrooms from their stock, puree and spread them on the fruit leather sheet in their dehydrator, but it's not a necessary step.)
After microwave steaming them, I placed the mushrooms in a single layer in the dehydrator. It took about 12 hours to reach the desired state, but this can vary.
Once dried, I put them in the spice grinder and pulsed until I had a fine powder. A word of caution, don't open the spice grinder right away or you'll be inhaling mushroom powder for the next 5 minutes or so. I like it in my food, just not in my lungs. Again, pass the powder through a sieve and put into a glass jar.
Last, but certainly not least, there's kale. We drink a lot of protein shakes and smoothies, and adding green vegetables is a super way to up the nutrition and to put some extra vegetables in your dishes without attracting any unwanted grousing. The process is very similar to both tomatoes and mushrooms. I cut and washed the kale and dried on paper towels.
Place the kale pieces on a single layer in the dehydrator. You can crowd them, but don't stack them up. It's easier to handle if you work with smaller, salad size pieces.
Process in the spice grinder until you get a fine powder.
Pass it through a sieve and store in a glass jar.
Add a teaspoon to shakes, smoothies, soups or pasta dough. You can do this in your oven if you don't have a dehydrator, and they are great additions to your pantry.
Let me know your ideas for using powders.

My family and I returned from a trip to Maui, last week. We chose to stay at The Fairmont Kea Lani again, because Costco Travel was offering an amazing price. I love Costco Travel!
The Fairmont Kea Lani is a beautiful hotel in the Wailea area of Maui. It is next door to The Grand Wailea and The Four Seasons. For us, it is perfect. The hotel is all suites so the kids have their own room to sleep in at night (my daughter slept on the pullout couch and we paid for a rollaway bed for my son each night). Each room has a huge veranda so we could choose to eat inside or out.
We reserved a deluxe ocean front room with a beautiful view. The room came with a Keurig coffee maker and pods, a small refrigerator and a microwave. This was convenient for our small snacks and food items.
The hotel is not crazy busy like The Grand Wailea nor uncomfortably demure like The Four Seasons. It is, in the words of a famous little blond thief, "just right."
At the hotel's restaurant, Ko, we all had amazing dinners of fish. And whilst the ambience and meal were not as good as Mama's (but honestly, it is on a level all by itself), the ease and convenience of it being just steps from our room, make it a restaurant we would absolutely eat at again.
And we all scraped our plates clean. It was very good. This is the third time we have eaten here and the flavors are always yummy.
I do recommend sticking to wine or beer if you indulge in alcoholic beverages after having tried four different cocktails on my visits here.
One of my favorite things served here was the edamame dip that is served with the bread. And those rice cakes? Swoon.
We reserved pool cabanas two of the days and we really enjoyed this on one of the days. We had a problem with the air conditioning in the room (the picture below is me sweating and drinking wine (gotta make the best of it) whilst waiting for engineering) and so the manager very, very generously took the two cabana charges off of our bill. He really did not have to do that, but it definitely was appreciated. This made the situation much better and allowed us to continue to think of the Kea Lani with fond memories.
We would absolutely return. The Kea Lani continues to be one of my favorite hotels. The staff is so friendly. On certain days (depending upon which woman they have hired to make leis that day), they even have free flowers for guest's hair, complete with a long stick so it would stay behind your ear. My daughter and I loved this small little gesture and I hope they continue to hire the woman that provides that small detail. She was lovely. And it was such a little thing, but it remains in my memory as a wonderful detail about the hotel.
Another small detail is the containers of water and iced tea in the lobby, so there are always refreshments at your leisure.
There is a man that lights the torches around the hotel at night and blows a conch at certain points on his journey. It is quite magical. They encourage little kids to follow him and it is cute to watch his little entourage trailing behind. One night I spotted a little boy and his brother gleefully filling up waterguns and trying to put the fires out. I have no idea where their parents were, but they were quite intent on their task.
And, no, I would absolutely not allow my kids to do this. But drinking wine on my balcony watching someone else's kids do it? Entertaining.
My favorite part of The Kea Lani is definitely the beach.
They have free umbrellas and lounge chairs for guests that they will set up for you when you come down from your room. It is so relaxing and at all points around the hotel, they have stacks of white fluffy towels for you to just grab as you make your way to the beach or the pool.
I love that.
We were down at the beach almost every single evening watching the sun set and our kids playing in the surf.
I took many memories away that I will treasure.
During the evening, we discovered the cutest little crabs flitting along the sand and ducking into little holes.
We learned that they are called Ghost Crabs. It was a perfect name for them, because you almost did not believe that you saw them, they were so quick.
Of course, the sunsets were incredible. We tried not to miss a single one.
My son's favorite aspect of the hotel was the water slide. He was up and down that thing for many hours during our stay. The picture above is him waiting for his dad at the bottom. I love that adults can use the slide, too.
One of the other things I love at Kea Lani is the ability for night swimming. Several of the hotels nearby close their pools very early, but The Kea Lani keeps theirs open. I have fond memories of night swimming as a child and I really appreciate this aspect of the hotel. We only swam at night twice, but I enjoyed having a glass of wine and watching other families enjoy the pool and making memories at night, from our balcony.
However, one night I was drinking wine and my husband took my son night swimming. This was what I got to look down on from my balcony. I had a moment of panic. But then he swam and did it again. So, I took some pictures, because I like to remember what his idea of fun was at age ten. My son loves to lay like this in the pool. But I have to wonder what other vacationers thought when they looked down at him.
One evening, we were strolling back from the beach and we spotted a sign to star gaze with a woman with a large telescope. It was an amazing spontaneous adventure. I appreciated that The Kea Lani allowed this to take place and we got to see the rings of Saturn and even one of its moons. It was really neat.
Was our vacation perfect? I guess it depends on how you view that word. For us, yes. But I view the imperfections as stepping stones to happiness, too.
I truly believe that life is what you make of it.
And vacations are no exception.
My husband and I had a tiff on one of the nights we were on vacation. It happens. It was easily communicated after a night of sleep (I am not a believer in the adage: do not go to bed angry) and now I think it is funny. And the tagline that infuriated me and started the fight might be my new favorite thing to bring laughing tears to my eyes, "Settle down."
If I never had a bad meal, then I would not know what a good one is. Even our bad meal was served with the best coffee I have ever had. Do you know what we took away from our one bad meal on Maui? Questions like this:
"Honey, where can we find coffee like that?"
And the bad meal also taught me: please don't. Please don't ever. Ever. Ever. Serve colored rock salt in butter with the bread basket. It is beautiful. And guess what? Salty. Crunchy. Salt. Salty.
No. Don't do it.
Instead, we think of the yummy coffee. We forget about colored rock salt. And we dream of that coffee.
Of waves upon a shore.
Ghost crabs.
Rings of Saturn.
Flowers in our hair.
Sunscreen mixed with sun.
Blissful sleep.
Sunset waters.
Sandy toes.
"Settle down."

Story last updated at 4/3/2013 - 3:25 pm
Blue Nose Surf opened its doors two years ago, serving to help Juneau residents and visitors catch some waves in unique ways.
Neil Nickerson, owner of Blue Nose Surf, has been surfing for a long time, both in Southeast Alaska and in waters that gain a more vibrant surf.
"I had been watching this paddle board sport growing and catching on," Nickerson said. "I just thought it would be the perfect summer thing to do in Juneau. Nobody was doing it and I wanted to try it so I thought I would be the one to get it started."
Patrons don a wetsuit, get on a paddle board and see the wilderness from a different perspective. So far, he's gotten a good response to the sport.
"I really thought that I would be catering a lot to tourists, but by far most of my business has been with locals," Nickerson said. "I am definitely happy to have so many locals get interested and get started."
People typically start when the weather warms up - sometime in April - until it gets cold again, but Nickerson said, there are a few people who enjoy it so much they go out any time of year.
Blue Nose Surf is growing.
"The first summer it was kind of slow until I got some advertising going," he said. "Last year was my second year and I really had a lot of business. I really expect it to just keep on going. It definitely seems to be weather dependent. On sunny days I get the most calls, try to have specials to get people out paddling."
Nickerson said there are two main challenges with doing business in Southeast Alaska. The first is shipping equipment up here.
"Another one is a lot of people don't look local, they go on the internet and have stuff shipped up without even knowing I'm here," he said. "I could have provided people with a lot of stuff at a good price."
Some of the items he sells are surfing and paddling equipment, wet suits and dry suits. For people who have never done paddle boarding, or who are uncomfortable going out for the first time, Nickerson offers lessons and tours.
The most fun part about the business for Nickerson is getting out on the water and seeing the wildlife.
"It's just such a beautiful place to paddle and there's always something to see," he said. "We have great conditions almost always. It's really just a great place to paddle.
Even on nice days, paddling you just get warm. Almost eventually everyone jumps in just to cool off. That's why we wear wet suits rather than dry suits."
For the long term future of Blue Nose Surf, Nickerson hopes to get more people interested in the sport so he can keep the business going, and get people what they want and need so they can go out and have a good time. He also wants to offer more kids' programs so they aren't afraid to get out in the water.
"Paddle boards are smaller and lighter than kayaks," he said. "They just jump on and take off and they have a great time. The other thing is, you really don't have to take lessons to get back on one if you fall off. You just slide back on real easy."
Nickerson said people shouldn't be afraid of cold water.
"They can go out and have a lot of fun with the right equipment," he said.

File Extensions and Temporary Downloaded Files
I did not find what I was looking for through search, and I have 2 basic questions hopefully are easy.
1. What are all the file extensions DivX recognizes? I downloaded the free version yesterday.
2. I see that it creates a folder in my user video folder, called DivX, and in the folder DivX, there is a folder called "Temporary Downloaded Files". What I want to know is, what goes here and how can I get files to go in there? The reason I'm asking is, I deleted this folder (which had nothing in it at the time) and I am testing to see if it will automatically get RE-CREATED, if I download something that is meant to go in "temporary downloaded files".
This forum is also very beautiful, love it.

How could you not find this with a search engine ? just look for a windows file extensions list and there you will find all the info you need.

DivX player recognizes many
DivX player recognizes many extensions. Primarily it deals with DivX (.avi, .divx) and DivX Plus (.mkv) files. It can also support several other formats, e.g. .mp4 (if you also have QuickTime installed).
The "Temporary Downloaded Files" folder stores content that is downloaded by DivX Web Player, or the new DivX Plus Web Player. As you use this plug-in to watch videos on the web it will cache video and will also allow you to save fully cached video. Right-click in the Web Player window and check the settings to see how it will behave on your system.
Try our beta DivX Plus Web Player here:
You will need to install the beta version before the DivX Plus MKV file on that page will play.

File extensions
Hi DigitAl,
is it possible to avoid file extension specification in "src" parameter with DivX Plus 2.0? In previous versions it was possible to supply the file through a php script without .divx or .avi extension. now we receive "The downloaded video file is not a DivX file".

Our View: Hi-Line darts and laurels, December 27, 2013
December 27, 2013
Laurel — The Salvation Army made sure that nearly 300 kids on the Hi-Line received Christmas gifts they wouldn't have had otherwise. Actually, the Salvation Army didn't do it a alone. Lots of Hi-Liners took part by picking cards from the Giving Tree and buying the gifts. And volunteers helped distribute the gifts.
Dart — The short Christmas season and the bitter cold weather made it difficult for Salvation Army to raise as much money as usual during the Red Kettle Campaign. The campaign is over, but you can still write a check to the Salvation Army so they can continue their great work of providing relief services during the year.
Laurel — Deborah Davey Keller and Carolyn Davey Sheppard were honored because they were wearing seat belts when they were hit by another car. They received the Saved by the Belt award, which means they get a one year subscription to AAA. It also means they are examples to all of us who question whether it's worth it to buckle up every time we start up the car. It's worth it.
Laurel — Havre High School students provided tremendous musical entertainment to people throughout the area this holiday season. Both instrumental and choral groups performed at the high school and at various locations around the area.
Laurel — Commendation goes to each and every person who helped out two families struggling with illness. The Havre High School Key Club coordinated the effort, and churches and community groups helped by holding spaghetti, potluck, Indian taco and chili feeds. More than $12,000 has already been collected. Thanks to those who organized, cooked and ate.

The case of the missing bike rack at Minute Maid Park is solved.
"We are making some improvements to the stadium near the bike rack's old location, so we needed to relocate it," said Astros CEO George Postolos.
The rack will be back when the Astros return home April 19 for series against the Cleveland Indians and Seattle Mariners.
"Cyclists are welcome at Minute Maid Park. The new location is near the loading dock entrance on Congress between Hamilton and Chenevert. It's where we park the bikes when large groups of cyclists come to Minute Maid Park," Postolos said.
Bike parking is free. Bring a lock.
In other MMP news, the Astros will host two Faith and Family Night concerts this season. Tenth Avenue North will perform after the Astros-Mariners game on July 20, and the David Crowder Band will play after the Astros-Angels game (oh no, Albert Pujols!) on Sept. 14. The concerts are free for game ticketholders.

WrestleMania results
John Cena gave Duane "The Rock" Johnson an Attitude Adjustment, that's Cena's favorite finishing maneuver, and won the World Wrestling Entertainment championship Sunday night before 80,676 chilly fans at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
WrestleMania 29 grossed $12.3 million in ticket sales, a record haul for an entertainment event in the New York Giants football stadium. The previous mark was $8.9 million for a U2 concert in 2011.
Missed it?: Check out Wrestlemania 29
In other matches, the Undertaker ran his WrestleMania winning streak to 21 by beating former WWE champ CM Punk. Undertaker, who went to Waltrip High School in Houston, used his dreaded Tombstone piledriver for the pin.
Triple H hammered (with a real sledgehammer) Brock Lesnar in the co-main event. It was perfectly legal for HHH to use the construction tool since it was a "No Holds Barred" match. You know, if Greco-Roman wrestling permitted weapons, maybe the Olympics would keep wrestling as an event. Just my opinion.
And Fandango, a ballroom dancer/wrestler, defeated Chris Jericho in his WrestleMania debut. Even though Fandango won, judge Carrie Ann Inaba gave him only a 6. She said he didn't use his hips enough. Weird.
The 2013 WWE Hall of Fame inductees were introduced, including Houston's own Booker T. Bruno Sammartino, who got the loudest ovation. If you put your ear to MetLife Stadium today, you can still hear the crowd booing Donald Trump. They wanted to see his wrestling credentials - the long form.
The WWE also announced that it will sponsor the 2014 Special Olympics USA Games at MetLife Stadium.
Sold out
Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion boss Jerry MacDonald announced that the Mumford & Sons concert, scheduled for June 12, is sold out.
Every ticket was gone in 11 minutes, the fastest sellout in Pavilion history.
"Babel," Mumford & Sons' second release, won the Grammy for album of the year in February.

The Motion Pictures of 2011 - Video Montage
Another video has been released showcasing the films that have been released in 2011. The end of the year is upon us, and that means we will see several more of these videos over the next few weeks. It's fun to see all of the different ways that the different editors cut all of these films together. This video was created by YouTube user Kidnin and here's a note from the editor,
Many good films came out this year. Obviously, I wasn't able to include all of them in this clip, that would be impossible to edit, but many of them are in here, 226 of them to be exact. This video took about 2 months of editing on a daily basis to complete and is by far the biggest project I've ever edited, so... hope you like it!
The video turned out pretty well! Check it out below and tell us what you think! What were some of your favorite films of 2011?

Jennifer Van Dyck's narration conveys a sense of urgency to the text of Brian Eno's Another Green World, Geeta Dayal's obsessively written ode. Dayal's highly perceptive take on this famous album is not just for fans of Eno's music. Anyone interested in what it means to make art, to compose, and produce music will find something of value here. The music in the album often seems closer to painting then to music - expressive, organic, meditative - and Dayal's writing conveys this interesting cross-sensory experience through the incorporation of research, interviews, and her own informed sensibility about Brian Eno's art making and art influences.
The serene, delicate songs on Another Green World sound practically meditative, but the album itself was an experiment fueled by adrenaline, panic, and pure faith. It was the first Brian Eno album to be composed almost completely in the confines of a recording studio, over a scant few months in the summer of 1975. The album was a proof of concept for Eno's budding ideas of "the studio as musical instrument", and a signpost for a bold new way of thinking about music.
In this book, Geeta Dayal unravels Another Green World's abundant mysteries, venturing into its dense thickets of sound. How was an album this cohesive and refined formed in such a seemingly ad hoc way? How were electronics and layers of synthetic treatments used to create an album so redolent of the natural world? How did a deck of cards figure into all of this? Here, through interviews and archival research, she unearths the strange story of how Another Green World formed the link to Eno's future - foreshadowing his metamorphosis from unlikely glam rocker to sonic painter and producer.
©2009 Bruce Dayal (P)2012 Audible, Inc.
"Dayal's lucid, elegant deconstruction of Brian Eno's most beguiling album is also an inspiring, delightful inquiry into the nature of creativity and constraint. Anyone interested in art making needs to read this." (Ed Park, author of Personal Days)
"...the best short introduction to Eno's work and ethos going."(The Wire)
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"the narration seems a bit robotic"
this book is about a fairly obscure record by a fairly obscure artist. it's fitting
"Better than I expected"
It was a really interesting exploration of process via the lens of a few specific products.
"Recommended for Any Artist or Musician"
Fun, Creative, Experimental
I loved this! It was interesting to get a glimpse into Brian Enos creative process. He has a unique way of making it more about the journey rather than the result. This is packed with useful ideas of breaking writer's block, and learning how to have fun with the creative process rather than getting frustrated and giving up because of pre-ordained expectations. It will open your mind to new creative possibilities no matter what artistic medium you are using.
I like how Jennifer Van Dyck embraces Brian Enos creative process for writing this very book.

Even though I've been running for what seems like for-ever, I just recently found out about compression socks.
Seriously, was I living under a rock?!
These things are amazing. I recently purchased the Swift Sox RunLove Compression Socks from RunningSkirts.com. I was already impressed when I opened them up and noticed the socks are smartly marked with a little "L" and "R" just so you know which one goes where. Because the running stupids do happen, people.
After yesterday's day of a long run + race, I thought it would be a great day to try them out. When I got back from the race, I felt that my legs were already starting to get sore. So I put on the compression socks and rocked them all day, even at my fiance's company holiday party (where I stood in four-inch heels for 3+ hours).
Today, I woke up and my legs feel well rested and aren't tired, not like they usually are after a long run. Very impressed! Plus, the nice thing about these compression socks, is they are about half the price of other ones out there. RunningSkirts.com was great to order from — fast shipping, plus they have other super cute products!
Please note: RunningSkirts.com and Swift Sox have no idea that I posted this review. I posted this review to help other runners in their quest for great running gear and associated products, and have not received compensation for posting this review. These opinions are my own.
