I don't know if you'll get this, but here's a shot.
Deathwing was first introduced Warcraft 2: Beyond the Darkportal expansion. This was the first time players saw Draenor/Outland, and they were also introduced to Turalyon, Alleria, Khadgar, Danath Trollbane, Ner'zhul, Grom Hellscream, Kargath Bladefist, and Teron Gorfiend.
During Warcraft 2, Alterac is actually run by Aiden Perenolde. He decides to help the Horde, and in the Alliance campaign this is discovered and you go in and lay down the law. During the expansion, Alterac helps out the Horde again, and it's after this that Perenolde is finally removed from the throne by the Alliance.
The Prestor character, who is a visually perfect human male, was I believe first introduced in the Day of the Dragon novel. He claims to be from Alterac so that he has more claim to the throne there as he's winning over the hearts of the Alliance leaders. He did this to get a stronger foothold in Alliance politics for the ultimate purpose of weakening and destroying the Alliance. Fortunately, after Deathwing was defeated in Day of the Dragon, prestor disappears from the political arena and hasn't been seen since.
The closest thing to a prestor to exist in game has been Lady Katrina Prestor, Onyxia, in Stormwind. She used the same tactics her father employed in politics: be extremely flawless in appearance and use subtle hypnotic spells to get what you want.
All the details about link between the Demon Soul, Alexstraza, and the Dragonmaw were only hinted in the game and explored in the novels. All the details about Deathwing meddling in mortal politics is also in the novels. Just more info to help whoever is interested. :)

But how do you find the right firm that can build you a really effective website?
The Huge Risk and Rewards of a Website
Having a website can be the single most rewarding endeavor for your business but it is also the riskiest. You can easily sink thousands of dollars and months of time into a website without any result. There are stories of people hiring a promising young kid who then flakes out on finishing the website or hiring a part-time hobbyist who builds a website that never gets a single visit.
These businesses must start over from scratch.
A successful and effective website must do 2 things. It must save you time and make you money. Everything else is just fluff. You can have a the sleekest design with all of the cool social media widgets. It can be the coolest thing since a penguin snowboarded down a mountain, but it is worthless if you are spending 20 hours a day on it without it adding a dime to your wallet.
You must choose a website design firm that will save you time and make you money.
Choose the Right Website Design Company
Finding a professional Web Designer who prioritizes this will guarantee you a successful website.

Mr. Carey, 81, died Monday at a West Palm Beach, Fla., hospital. But he left a legacy here.
Mr. Carey died of heart disease Monday morning, surrounded by family members who had flown across the country to be at his bedside.
"He was just a remarkable talent and a visionary, and a generous man," said Gov. Martin O'Malley.
Mr. Carey had a lifelong passion for education because he thought that it would help the U.S. become more competitive in the global economy, so it's not surprising that the two largest beneficiaries of his philanthropy locally were Maryland universities.
In April, he donated $30 million to the University of Maryland School of Law, the largest gift in the institution's history. The philanthropist also made a $50 million bequest in 2006 to found the Johns Hopkins University's Carey School of Business, and in 2003, he gave $10 million to Gilman School.
Governor O'Malley described Mr. Carey as "a good friend" and campaign contributor, and said the men last saw one another two months ago.
"He was a person who understood that the world of business, the world of education, the world of art and the world of politics are not separate worlds. They are very much connected and need each other," he said.
Other Baltimore schools also were the recipients of Mr. Carey's generosity, including the Baltimore School for the Arts, the Bryn Mawr School and Calvert School. In addition, he gave $50 million to Arizona State University for that institution's business school, which is named for him.
"I don't have words to say how saddened I am that he has died," said Phoebe Haddon, dean of the University of Maryland's Francis King Carey School of Law, named for Mr. Carey's grandfather.
"Even though he'd lived in New York for six decades, he really felt that Baltimore was his home. He was so in love with the idea of re-creating the past grandeur that Baltimore had when his grandfather was alive. His strategy was to strengthen institutions like the University of Maryland law school."
Mr. Carey was a direct descendant of former James K. Polk, the 11th president of the United States, and had commissioned gold $1 coins that were engraved with the likeness of his illustrious ancestor.
"Those coins were in his pocket at all times," Dean Haddon said. "If he met you and liked you, he'd pull one out and give it to you, and tell you a little bit about his history."
Other friends received copies of a booklet of lithographs that Mr. Carey had commissioned of paintings of key moments in Baltimore's history, including the Great Baltimore Fire of 1904 and the founding of the first African-American church.
"He had a tremendous vision of what it means to be a good citizen," Dean Haddon said.
In fact, Mr. Carey never tired of speaking of James Carey, his great-great-grandfather, former chairman of the Bank of Maryland and a relative of Johns Hopkins. He reminded listeners that his grandmother, Anne Galbraith Carey, had created the Gilman School for Boys in Roland Park in 1897.
Former Baltimore Mayor Kurt L. Schmoke said Monday that he spent an interesting few hours chatting with Mr. Carey at the Orioles' opening-day game on April 4.
"He told me about all the connections of family members with Johns Hopkins and with the University of Maryland and with the city, and he seemed very proud of those connections. So it didn't surprise me when I learned of his contribution to the University of Maryland law school," Mr. Schmoke said. "I had a delightful time talking baseball and Maryland history with him."

On Tuesday, a remarkable thing happened among the possible contenders for the Republican presidential nomination: Newt Gingrich warned Sarah Palin to be more careful about her incendiary rhetoric.
Yep, you read that right. Newt Gingrich, the king of incendiary rhetoric, champion of rhetorical fireballs, the emperor of verbal excess, cautioned Palin about watching her words. Watch him, interviewed by ABC's George Stephanopoulos:
That's just one more sign of how worried Republican leaders are about the prospect of a Palin presidential run. Her negatives are climbing; a recent poll gives her an unfavorable rating of 53 percent, the highest disapproval she has scored since John McCain chose her as his running mate. A long line of establishment Republicans, including Barbara Bush and Karl Rove, have suggested that she should not run. Ross Douthat, conservative columnist for The New York Times, insists that the news media should stop talking about her :
To the media: Cover Sarah

Everyday is something different. A new passion arises, a new love is revealed and a new idea is discovered. In a perfect world, all of these passions would fuse together. Each idea would lead to an even better idea and there would be more than 24 hours in the day to achieve my biggest goal, and that is to change the world. The goal is not perfection. The goal is understanding, compromise and acceptance. The goal is revival. The goal is Heaven on Earth.

Transgender Miss Universe
The story about a transgender contestant running for Miss Universe sparked a lot of controversy in the news last year. I thought this would be a perfect time to bring it up again. I am a journalism major so sometimes when I look at issues within gender and sex, I look at it as someone responsible for public information.
The competition is used to dealing with "natural-born women," but now they are analyzing what criteria it takes to be natural-born. The transgener contestant Jenna Talackova was initially disqualified from the Miss Universe pageant because she was born male. Now, pageant organizers are contemplating reversing this judgment if the contestant meets the "legal gender recognition requirements" to be considered (CNN).
I noticed that the media took the opportunity to both evaluate and perpetuate the justice within this decision.
On ABC News, they focused on responses to this controversy in particular, Donald Trumps response. ABC reported that Trump feels the contestant should focus on doing well in Canada before making it in America. The way ABC reported this issue was fairly objective in my opinion.
However, when I researched the coverage from CNN, I felt a lot more sympathetic for the contestant. CNN's coverage added more depth to the issue, and at the same time added more of an opinion. There were several videos attached to the CNN coverage which incited me and probably other readers to understand the full personality of the contestant.
Subjects like this are hard to cover without the risk of being offensive. I have looked into regarding class, gender, sex and race and honestly I am not sure if there is a right way to cover it or to talk about it. I think just being aware of biases and opinion can help when presenting the information to the public.
One thing I noticed when comparing coverages was this story was archived under the entertainment section of CNN, but not of ABC. To me, that articulates how a news outlets see an issue by where they put it on their website or newscast. The fact that CNN and The Washington Post (link below) put this under the entertainment section bothered me a little because that might mean they feel this is not worth the national headline that some would think. I know that might not be the case but it is necessary to look at this case with different perspectives.
There has also been various other news outlets who covered the story months ago, those links are below.

Journalism and Ethics
This week I spent a lot of time analyzing journalism and ethics. There are so many factors that influence ethical decisions when it comes to journalism. Making a deadline, getting the number one story, and getting the best story all lead to sometimes terrible ethical decisions.
For example, in the film, Absence of Malice, the main reporter got a hold of some personal information from a source but the source asked her not to publish her name. We are taught as journalists that names equal validity so the reporter published the source's name anyway.
That source ended up killing herself. There is no way to have predicted that that would be the result of the situation but knowing the decision of the reporter caused a suicide is an ethical dilemma.
In another example, when newspapers publish the names of sexual assault victims, they are not always thinking of the potential harm for the victim. Publishing the name may seem unnecessary, but when in a crunch situation one just wants to get all the information out there without thinking twice.
When it comes to identifying suspects, journalists need to be more aware about the implications of certain accusations. The rule of thumb is do not publish the description of a suspect unless there are three unchangable pieces of evidence.
For instance, to describe a suspect as a tall, black man with a Mizzou hoodie on would be extremely unhelpful. The public feels they are closer to finding the suspect just because they have information but that limited description only perpetuated stereotypes about black men. A better description would be black, with tattoo on left hand and brown eyes. This description does not immediately identify the perpetrator but it narrows it down to unchangeable traits.
When it comes to interviews, that can be another touchy area. When a subject tells a juicy secret, or exposes a suspect and then says this is off the record, what do you do?
Journalists are taught if the subject did not say "off the record" in the beginning then it is fair game. But knowing you will betray someone's trust should be a factor in this ethical decision.
Overall, ethics in journalism can be tricky. According to the Society of Professional Journalist Code of Ethics, the important principles of ethics are:
Seek Truth and Report It
Minimize Harm
Act Independently
Be Accountable
These are the standards I try to go by everyday, even if it means giving up the juicy details. I think it is impossible not to offend someone when it comes to journalism, but in twenty years if I can say that I continuously followed this code, I will be very pleased to be a journalist.

"If You're Poor Just Work at Wal-Mart"
I hope the title drew you into this blog post if not, thanks for joining anyway. <3
Today in class we watched a video about poverty issues in New York. The video surrounded 1999 and focused on something called the WEP program. WEP stands for "Work Experience Program," but the experience these people were getting was dreadful.
I know when people hear stuff like this they assume, "she is talking about poor scrubs on welfare." (Not all ppl think like this, just some.) What I am actually talking about are hard-working individuals who were trying to make a difference in their lives and in the lives of their communities.
There were workers who died from heat, stressful working envoirment, and lack of healthcare in this movie. Things like this happen everyday but everyday we do not hear about it because Kim Kardashion is blowing up the news. There was one particular woman, Jakie Marte, who worked for two years trying to get the "Grievance Procedure" bill passed so workers could speak up without feeling ridiculed by the WEP program. Jakie was a single mother who was an advocate for her community.
So…after watching this heartfelt video a girl in class said, "So I understand that she worked to get this bill passed and everything, but why didn't she just work at Wal-Mart? I mean I know people don't want to do that but you know." ………………………………………………………………………………….Exactly.
She MISSED the whole point of the video. Mind you, the people Jakie was fighting for were people who were working to keep the city clean basically, I am sure they ALL would have wanted to just WALK into Wal-Mart and get a job. It was so disturbing to hear that because she really did not see the issue in the movie. It's not just her, its the City Council members in the video who were completely AGAINST the bill because well, their crapheads. It is people who see poor people and roll their eyes in disgust. It is people who are not willing to think OUTSIDE of the box about other people then themselves. I am not saying this student is that kind of person, but she sure reminded me of people I know.
I mean why such negativity and misunderstanding towards less fortune people. Is being poor a crime? …..

Think Before You Speak.
"That's so gay"
"He's so retarded"
Today I watched a video about an amazing man named Greg Smith who has a disability. He was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy which means that his muscles are extremly weak and gets weaker as he gets older. This also means he was in a wheelchair. When he was a baby just imagine what doctors would say about him.
"He's not going to make it past 10 years."
Greg Smith's story inspired me. He is 47 yrs old today. He started a radio show called "On A Roll. He got married, had children, and points out that he had his children the natural way. ;)
He's a champ but the thing is, he would have been a champ with or without his wheelchair. He talks about the discrimintation towards people that have disabilities and it really is one of the saddest things.
"No, this job will be too hard for you" or "We rather not invest in your future" (which is seen as a weakness).
It's ridiculous. People like Greg are not DISABLED. He is a man, a man with a disability. He is a person first. When people refer to someone as disabled, they are trying to be politically correct which is understandable, but not necessarily correct. It's the same for crude jokes like that's so retarded. People don't realize the hurt that comes with those words or phrases. Think before you speak.
Thank you Greg Smith, you're an absolute blessing.

There is so much we are to learn on in life but I think learning about each other is one of the most important. Unconditional love for all types of people, whether they are black, white, yellow or green.
I think when someone finally looks at their next door neighbor and says, "wait you are not different then me and we are all one people and we are all God's children, God is going to shout out "AND….SCENE." Thats when the world will end.

Lindy had one of the first home-video cameras, and he shot footage on our tours and took that footage and cut it into a BBC documentary that had filmed us lip-synching "Jungle Man" at the Club Lingerie in Hollywood. He attached two VCRs in some back room at EMI, did an edit, and we had a video for a hundred dollars.

Here we go again: The Cuban-exile community has snapped to attention in anticipation of their latest battle, next weekend's concert featuring a double bill of Cuban chanteuse Rosita Fornes and that island's famed performance poet Luis Carbonell, scheduled for a Miami Beach location that was undisclosed as of press time. Fornes -- Cuba's answer to Judy Garland (with much the same demographic appeal) -- arrives in town weighted with a set of historical baggage that overshadows her life as both a star of Latin cinema and a diva of Cher-like proportions. The 76-year-old cabaret singer's initial Miami appearance originally was slated for July 1996 in a series of performances at Little Havana's Centro Vasco nightclub. But despite a rush on advance tickets that resulted in five sold-out shows, Miami's first taste of the post-Cold War thaw was not to be. Exile leaders crowed after their firestorm of outrage was capped by the lobbing of a Molotov cocktailthrough Centro Vasco's front window. The establishment's fearful owners canceled Fornes's show, and the subsequently blacklisted restaurant went out of business a few months later.
That September a rescheduling of Fornes's concert at Miami Beach's Jackie Gleason Theater fared little better. Then-City Manager José Garcia-Pedrosa declared war on Fornes and promptly began a campaign of financial blackmail, enacting prohibitive requirements for the concert's sponsors. At el jefe's bidding, the theater's managers even refused to advertise Rosita Fornes's very name on their Washington Avenue marquee, declaring that those two forbidden words "could well be seen as inflammatory" to the delicate sensibilities of Beach residents. Despite the aid of the ACLU, the show's promoters were unable to raise the additional funds for a $100,000 insurance policy Garcia-Pedrosa demanded. That concert too, was canceled.
Why on earth would el exilio raise this much of a stink over the local appearance of a 76-year-old torch singer? Even Fornes herself seemed nonplussed, telling New Timesback in 1996: "So many people have asked me to perform in Miami. Friends, admirers, people I haven't met but who have memories of my past career.... I don't understand why they hold it against me, for living the life I've lived. I'm not a political person."
Of course, as with so many of Cuba's artists, it's not what Fornes didas a singer, it's what she didn't do. Namely drop to her knees and assume the position before Jorge Mas Canosa. As a reward for her independently minded refusal to pledge allegiance to Miami's homegrown thought-police, she received the usual barrage of expletives and communist labeling.
The co-promoters of Fornes's upcoming engagement -- Hamlet Casals and Hugo Cancio -- are no strangers to controversy either. Casals has come under fire for his work as a charter agent for relatives visiting family members in Cuba. Cancio is one of a handful of Miami figures braving death threats to challenge the cultural boycott and stage local concerts with the cream of Cuba's music world. While both continue to receive their share of criticism (in Cancio's case an outcry that often centers as much on allegations of shady business practices and unpaid bills as it does on his political stance), the duo remains undaunted.
"I went to the Los Van Van concert with [the singer] Manolin el Medico, and he couldn't believe what was going on," Casals recalls. "But that concert demonstrated that we've turned a corner. The people protesting outside were thinking not even 200 were going to go in. But 3000 people walked that gauntlet saying, 'We are part of this country. This is not a banana republic. Los Van Van have the right to perform, we have the right to see them, and you cannot stop us.'"
As for Fornes's return to South Florida, Casals says with a soft laugh: "The radio stations are already going crazy, calling me names, alleging all sorts of things. Friends call me up and tell me, 'Oh, they said thisabout you, they said you did that.'" What bothers him more about these modern-day Father Coughlins is their denegration of Rosita Fornes. "You only have to listen to her songs; she opens her mouth and ..." Casals trails off, his voice filling with emotion. He continues, speaking slowly: "I'm really not afraid. We're going to take all the measures in our power for her security. She knows there's lots of people here who want to see her before it's too late."
Fornes's concert will be a retrospective of her life, delving back to several songs she originally sang as a teenager accompanied by the pianist Ernesto Lecuona, a composer often lauded as Cuba's George Gershwin. Luis Carbonell, the show's other attraction, is a legend in his own right, with his charged verse first coming to prominence in the nascent black arts movement of Cuba during the '30s. Although confined to a wheelchair after suffering a debilitating stroke, Carbonell remains a colorful monologist, exploring Afro-Cuban themes, literary negrismo,and working-class culture. He fell out of favor during the Castro regime's brutal crackdown on gays and nonconformists in the late '60s and early '70s, and to Casals, it is no small irony that the same reactionary, homophobic attitude that ostracized Carbonell in Cuba now awaits the poet in South Florida. "Finally he gets the opportunity to come and perform in Miami, and he gets the same poor treatment," Casals says with exasperation.

Emperor Justinian and His Attendants
Introduction and Identification
The image I chose to write about is called Emperor Justinian and His Attendants. A mosaic dating back to 547 CE, it is found within the church of San Vitale in Ravenna, Italy. The material used in creating the piece is glass, known as tessarae, set in plaster. (Davies 246) The scene is one of two which flank the altar of the church. The other image is Empress Theodora and Her Attendants.(Davies 254) It is unknown who the artist was behind "Emperor" (the piece was likely from an imperially run workshop), but that won't stop our understanding of this work.
Formal Analysis
There are many different, unique qualities within this image. To start with, the entire composition is quite cramped. There are eleven men who are at least partially visible, if not fully visible, within the scene. They include members of clergy, the emperor Justinian himself, officials and guards. The figures are all, "very different from the squat, large-headed figures […] in the art of the fourth and fifth centuries." These men are all very tall, yet they all have eye-levels that are almost exactly the same. Their bodies are slender, faces are all quite similar and they all present small feet. To an uninformed person it might look as if these large-eyed men are all related to one another.
The entire image also has a seemingly "flat" feel to it. Though the artist intended there to be some perception of depth because of the overlapping men and their differing heights, they all have the same forward-facing stance and gaze. They almost feel like cardboard cut-outs in the way that they have no differing poses other than full-frontal. Also, though the drapery effects in their clothing are handled well - with shadows clearly defined and used effectively on the robes of the clergy members, for example - the way the supposed cloth falls from the shoulders of the subjects shows no bodily definition from underneath.
Historical and Cultural Context
There are pretty obvious reasons for the way the imagery was done the way it was. To better explain this, I must also reference the other imagery that is opposite this one. First, the scene (and its sister scene on the other side) are flanking the altar of the church. This almost gives the effect that the people depicted are staring out at the real life people inside who have gathered there. Justinian and Theodora, in the opposite mosaic, are holding bread and wine, respectively. These are said to be symbolic of the Eucharist, and the body and blood of Christ. (Davies 256) It almost appears as if Justinian, Theodora and all of their respective followers are coming in to the church to join in whatever ceremonies may be taking place within.
Justinian is seen with a saintly halo around his head along with the same imperial robes as that of Christ. This depiction is to, "clearly depict Justinian as Christ's representative on earth, and to show him as a worthy successor to Constantine (referred to by the Chi-Rho shield of Constantine's) - to express his power as head of both Church and State." (Ferguson) This power is furthermore, "implied by the significant placement of the mosaic. Justinian is present in the main altar of the church, the most sacred part, where only the priest could stand. Thus, by including himself, Justinian wields his power over the priest, perhaps even suggesting his holiness, which is suggested through the halo." (Ferguson)
When critiquing a work like this it's easy to forget that it was done in a very, very different time period than today. The processes and techniques in use to create the tessarae, plaster, patterning, appearance of shadow, etc. were only just being discovered. The artists who worked on creating the mosaic depiction had to create it with a limited speed, due to only being able to lay tessarae within an area that they could reasonably cover in a day. Otherwise, the plaster they didn't cover would stay on the walls and become hardened which would make it near-impossible to remove. Taking all of these things in to consideration, my critique is quite conservative.
Yes, there are obvious problems with spacial relationships, as well as minor details such as the fact that, within the tangle of legs and feet at the bottom-right of the composition, there aren't enough legs to go with all of the men shown. There's also a clear disregard for any sort of perspective. With, "attention focusing on the transcendent meaning of the image rather than on any "realistic" portrayal of earthly time and place […] the figures in Byzantine art, while owing much to Roman painting in their treatment of drapery and facial features, tend to "float" in space without weight and solid mass, without occupying a three-dimensional space." (Rhodes)
I do have to give the artist(s) a lot of credit, though. Working in a medium that doesn't allow you to move around to other sections when working, that must be developed from one side to another without a full idea of what the finished piece will look like, and that is literally as hard as stone must be quite difficult. Sure, there are the somewhat significant problems that I wrote of above, but all things considered the imagery is spectacular. There are detailed patterns, highly recognizable shadowing work in the drapery, delicately created religious and political symbolism that are instantly noticeable. The fact that this piece has survived almost entirely for over fifteen hundred years and still has a vivid color range, as well as still pushing the political ideas that Justinian was along the same line of holiness as Christ after so long, are a testament to the highly skilled craftsmanship and artisenship that is on display in the mosaic of Emperor Justinian and His Attendants.

It's also my business standard.
but typically when you give a character a huge exaggerated feature like that, it's to peg them into a more goofy sidekick/sexless category and that's what it felt like they were doing.
So, OP initiated shipping-strawman bullshit aside, I find this statement realllllly problematic.
It's just gross on a number of levels.
If I give them the benefit of the doubt in terms of, say, a really 101 character design book, I can possibly see what KataangCaps is getting at here…but said aligning of "big nose = WACKY COMEDY" is a little outdated in terms of visual cues, and hints at a weak understanding of both character design and the importance of varied body types/facial features. (And even without calling it outdated, it's still problematic and not at all what Luck was implementing. She even explained her intentions right here on the original post.)
Also? Did she give him "huge, exaggerated" features?
They looked pretty commonplace and plausible to me.
Here's some Zuko noses (since OP loooves bringing up some Zuko) for comparison:
It's almost like the noses aren't meant to be inherent indicators of HAWTNESS or GOOFINESS or SEXOSITY at all.
Especially considering the fact that big noses (and in Aang's case, rounder features), and hotness/attractiveness are not mutually exclusive, and that it's really gross and closed minded to imply that they are!
And, expanding things a bit, I'd mention that in Western media, it's Asian males that are presented as the "goofy sidekick" or placed in the "sexless category ".
That considered, I find it funny that Older!Aang is so openly embraced as OMG TEH HAWTNESS when his features are (in my opinion, and the opinion of quite a few other peeps) more visually White.
And that when defending the sudden angular aspect of Aang's face, fans were quick to rain down pictures of White guys as a testament of puberty -> hotness. Of course, it gets even grosser once you tie that in with OP's overarching sentiment about hotness and shipping "worth."
oh hey a shout out to what I said BD this is getting ridiculous JUST SERIOUSLY How is saying that this person is the...

Julianne's Heirloom Nursery
Nursery Tour
Name: Julianne Jade Roberts
Age: Three Weeks old (born 1/30/11)
Location: Flowery Branch, GA
Room Size: 144 sq. ft.
Julianne's mother, Justina, created this soft, warm space for her baby girl with a budget that might make some nesting moms throw in the towel. For under $250, she pulled together pieces from thrift stores, garage sales, and antique markets and blended them with gifts from relatives and a rocking chair handed down from her great-grandmother. She even lucked out and found handmade Barbie dresses at a garage sale for $1 each, and framed them in individual shadow boxes she purchased at the craft store. The final look is so complete and so vintage sweet it exudes a gentle, heirloom quality that we think is perfect for a baby girl.
What was your inspiration? The bedding was the first thing finished in the room, so I decided to go very eclectic because of all the patterns used there. My husband's aunt sewed most of the bedding for us as a gift. I love it!
What was your biggest challenge? Finding the time to dedicate to the nursery before Julianne arrived was difficult. I pretty much had been collecting stuff for the room, but couldn't find the time to set it all up. I am a fourth grade teacher, and we luckily had a week off school due to snow/ice in December, so I used that week to work on the nursery. It was such a relief to get most of it done before our sweet baby arrived.
What is your favorite element? The rocking chair was my great-grandmothers, which means a lot to me. I also love the changing table/dresser combo.
What are your favorite items to look for in thrift stores? I love shopping for furniture the most. The prices are great, and many of the pieces have so much character. Almost all the furniture in my home is thrifted or yard saled.
What was your proudest DIY in the room? I was most excited about the barbie dresses in the shadow boxes. I saw something like that in my favorite decor book, and immediately knew that I would do that in the nursery.
What was your biggest indulgence? My finishing piece was the rug. It is from Target, and I splurged and spent $70 on it. It fit too perfectly for me to keep looking.
What advice would you give parents who are designing a nursery on a micro budget? Stop by the local thrift stores often and go to yard sales as well. Cannot beat the prices there! Also, keep an open mind. Once you have a game plan for what you want your nursery or room to look like, try using what you find or have around the house instead of stressing and searching for the "perfect" pieces you may have envisioned. It may turn out even better that way and usually is less expensive. While decorating the nursery, I got stuck looking for a certain piece of furniture for the closet. After no luck finding what I wanted, for the price I wanted, I decided to use the metal shelves instead, which was something I already owned.
What is your dream source? I would love to shop at antique stores more. I do go to a large antique market a few times a year and try to get a few small things. The green basket, which will be used as a toy chest in the nursery, came from the antique market.

Beautiful room!! This is one of my favorite, for sure. So soothing and soft and pretty. Please, please post more pics! I want to see all the details and little touches. Amazing job, Justina.
Beautiful baby! Beautiful room! Wow!
Love the shadow boxes! Great job with the entire room. I always find it inspiring to see parents utilize items they already own in their kids rooms.
love it! my sister is so great with all the details! way to go Justina! :)
i love the pillow on the white chair and what a beautiful baby!!
I love the chalkboard - It's pretty and fun, bu what a practical thing to have in a baby room too. When one of my children is sick I use a whiteboard on the fridge to mark things like last dose of fever med etc. It would be handy to have a place to write where the action happens
Lovely. It's so much harder to obtain results like this on a tiny budget, but what satisfaction when it all turns out!
I love this room. I'm really curious though, how all the white globe paper lanterns are hung. Do they really light up or are they decoration? Did you just screw little hooks into the ceiling and hang them? I'd love to do this for my own soon-to-be-baby, but I want it to look as nice!
This is a beautiful room, but does it strike anyone else as extraordinarily dangerous to hang plates above a crib? One earthquake, failing nail or errant arm and you've got porcelain shards on your baby. Unwise methinks. Anyone, anyone?

The Atlantic's November Cover is a Rarity
The Atlantic typically does not feature writers that have articles within the magazine on its cover. It's such a rare occurrence that we decided to ask about it. Turns out, it has happened only a handful of times in the magazine's 154 year history. Natalie Raabe, a Spokesperson for The Atlantic, said a few that came to mind were Joan Baez, Mark Twain, Lillian Hellman, Conor Cruise O'Brien and Philip Roth.
Kate Bolick, shown on the cover of the November issue, is the latest. In her piece titled "All The Single Ladies," Bolick explains that the marriage dynamic has changed dramatically because as women climb higher, men are falling behind. The article is already receiving rave reviews, and Bolick is even discussing it with The Hairpin.

Want to help out your local volunteer fire department? Have some funnel cake.
With this year being one of the driest on record, fires are sparking all over the state. These volunteer fire departments are hoping that fair food sales will help replenish what they've lost.
The West Carlisle Volunteer Fire Department has been in the same spot for 20 years. This is their biggest fundraiser of the year, and this year, they really need it.
"They've been so big this year it's just been really hard on everybody," West Carlisle Volunteer Firefighter Michael Frizzell said.
West Carlisle has lost tires, trucks and other equipment fighting fires like the one in Matador, where 40,000 acres went up in flames in less than five hours. They hope this year's funnel cake sales will help make up for what they've lost.
The New Deal Volunteer Fire Department is also facing hardship.
"Our run volume is up like everybody else. We've run a lot more calls this year than normal. Fortunately we haven't had any of the big ones. Knock on wood," said New Deal Fire Chief, Randy Teeter.
New Deal is trying to build a new fire department.
"We've way outgrown our old one. We have stuff sitting outside, which is not good for our equipment, which makes our response slower," Teeter said.
New Deal hopes to raise the money by selling tacos, nachos and the famous paramedic delight.
"That's the deep fried fudge brownies," Teeter explained.
The money you spend on Mexican food, sugar sweetness, or original funnel cake will help replenish both fire departments - in a year that's been tough on everybody.
Both fire departments are looking to raise more than $10,000 to support them through the year.

Heh. You know what, short of violence and affecting choices, I don't understand what makes people get up in arms so much over racism/sexism etc.
What, your feelings got hurt? I'm sorry. It happens.
I am not a racist, or a sexist, or anything. I treat people as individuals, but honestly, it is impossible to go through life without your feelings getting hurt. It's ridiculous to try to make it so. Shake it off. There are many worse things that people do to eachother, people are just constantly looking for reasons to complain.
If someone attacks someone as an act of discriminatory violence, I'll be the first to act, but short of that, suck it up.
This is coming from a jew, so I know about racial slurs. I find it how the "N word" is an inexcusable offense (unless, you know, you're a rapper), but calling someone a jew is an insult.
And Cyrus, being a grammar nazi just makes you look like a douche, pardon the expression.

Remember, the story from a few weeks ago about someone spotting a stealth bomber in a Google satellite image? Well, if you're interested in other interesting things and locations seen from the sky, read on.
Long before Google was providing access to satellite and aerial images the Cryptome archive has been building a collection of satellite and aerial images that look at "interesting" locations using open-source imagery provided by various organizations including the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Direct access to the USGS database of aerial imagery is available here.
It's uncertain if the makers of UFOs visiting earth will be upset at this spotting from Google Maps, however.

The American Academy of Pediatrics say bacterial meningitis is especially deadly for adolescents, with a 20 percent death rate, compared to 10-15 percent among the rest of the population.
Since the illness tends to surface most among college kids in the dorms, that has always been the target group for immunizations. Here's what's new. The FDA has recently approved a new vaccine that lasts 10 years, instead of three to five, so that has prompted the CDC to change its guidelines to include a younger crowd.
"We're thrilled to cover more kids for this illness, hopefully this will prevent a number of meningitis deaths per year," says Ellen Rome M.D. at the Cleveland Clinic.
Bacterial meningitis infects the brain and spinal fluid, and it often starts with flu-like symptoms. The CDC says it hopes within the next three years, the supply of vaccine will be built up enough to provide it to all children over the age of 11.

Ready to Start
"Now I'm ready to start - my mind is open wide ...
To step out into the dark - now I'm ready!"
- Arcade Fire, "Ready to Start" (video after post)
Like many other New Year's revelers, I staggered out of bed in the late morning of January 1st, rubbed the sleep out of my eyes for a few minutes, and tried to piece together exactly how my night ended.
I was out of my head for a little while there … I think I remember doing something kind of crazy. Did I really do what I think I did?
All it took was the first download of e-mail in the morning to confirm it: I had indeed done something a little bit crazy:
So I guess this means I need to start training now. December is traditionally my slacker month, where I allow myself to sleep in and eat whatever I want and don't worry about skipping workouts if I feel like it – and when it's dark and cold and it's the holiday season and there's cookies and wine seemingly everywhere I turn, and I happen to be spending an ungodly amount of time conducting some crazy blog giveaway spree, it gets easier and easier to blow off those workouts.
In other words, some things have got to change. The good news is, summer's still far enough away that I can do a slow build through the winter and spring, and be ready to roll once July comes around again. The other reassurance I have is that I've traveled this particular trail before; I'm not exploring uncharted territory here - I'm merely making my way back to some wonderful places I've already been.
That doesn't make the journey any less intimidating, however. The mornings will start darkly, the early training miles will be sluggish, and there will be more than a little bit of self-doubt that creeps in as race day draws closer. But those are other stories for other days. In the meantime, I just need to get myself running - and now I'm ready to start.
