You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I loved that WPD was able to customized this card using the color I wanted. I was able to add a cute quote on the back and it was in postcard format, so it left 4 lines to write addresses. These are adorable and not expensive! Word to the next bride sending out save-the-dates, you don't need as many for as many guests as you have! If you have 150, you probably only need about half, assuming some people live together. So, my mistake was that I ended up with too many, but WPD is not at fault."
"I just received these save the dates in the mail and they are perfect! This company let me completely change the background color, the text color and made the little heart a different color for free! They sent me a proof within three days and the cards were printed and to me three days later! They arrived over a week before the estimated delivery dates! And they are perfect. The colors are bright like I wanted them to be and they will be great for our Maine wedding! I highly recommend these as a great way to avoid the typical picture magnet save the date!"
"The cards turned out exactly how I wanted! Text was perfect, printing was excellent, quality of paper was just right. And the price fit my budget. I've gotten alot of comments about how fun they look and how people can't wait for the wedding! I had a little shipping problem, but they called me personally to make sure everything got resolved and that i was happy. Excellent service and great product! Exactly what i wanted. I'll probably order my invitations here too!"
"We really enjoyed the simplicity of this design. We used a charcoal gray background, most of the writing was in the vanilla color, with the words we wanted emphasized in pumpkin orange. I haven't even finished addressing them yet but two of my friends have happened to see them lying on my desk and commented on how great they looked!! Can't wait to send them out!! I just wish there was a matching invite."
"I changed the background color from red to gray to match one of our wedding colors. It was extremely easy, the delivery was fast, and the postcards themselves were beautiful. I love how they turned out!"

A handful of folks that I know and respect have gotten involved in the Founder Institute' Denver program. Andy Vuong of the Denver Post wrote a nice article on it titled Founder Institute is training minds for a great idea. Several people have suggested that the program is competitive with TechStars – including the first sentence of Andy's article. However, I just don't see it that way and encourage all kinds of programs like this in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
In the case of the Founder Institute, it has a very different tempo and dynamic than TechStars per their weekly agenda. While there is a little overlap in the mentor group, their's is very Denver centric. And it's a part time program vs. something that is fully immersive.
Jon Nordmark, a well known Denver entrepreneurs who founded eBags is running the program. John previously ran a fun program called Startup Basecamp – I was at the one in 2000 where my infamous "bowling and get wasted test" (actually, just the description) made an appearance. I have a lot of respect for Jon and expect he'll do a great job with this.
If you are interested in starting up a business and looking for an educational program around it, consider applying to the Spring 2010 Denver Founder Institute program.
Jon Pierce of BetaHouse has decided to organize an Angel Boot Camp in Boston on June 1st. The idea is that anyone interested in learning more about how to get started with angel investing can attend and learn from some people who've been there and done that.
David Cohen at TechStars wrote about why he thinks it's important. Jon Pierce also wrote about why he's doing Angel Boot Camp as well as listing some of Boston's Best Angel Investors.
While June 1 is still several months away, sign up and put Angel Boot Camp on your calendar now.
Sometimes I feel like a conference promoter. It's worth noting that while I put plenty of events up on this blog, I only post the ones that I'd consider going to. Specifically, I probably get 10 requests to post something for everyone one I do.
Over the past year, I've gotten to know Eric Ries through the work we've done together on the Startup Visa initiative. If you don't know of Eric, he's a software entrepreneur who over the past few years has been developing and evangelizing the idea of the Lean Startup. He's an extraordinary writer – I gobble up every word that he writes on his blog Lessons Learned.
Eric wrote me the other day about a new conference he's doing called Startup Lessons Learned in San Francisco on 4/23/10. The overview of the event follows:
Startup Lessons Learned is the first event designed to unite those interested in what it takes to succeed in building a lean startup. The goal for this event is to give practitioners and students of the lean startup methodology the opportunity to hear insights from leaders in embracing and deploying the core principles of the lean startup methodology. The day-long event will feature a mix of panels and talks focused on the key challenges and issues that technical and market-facing people at startups need to understand in order to succeed in building successful lean startups. We have a great lineup of speakers, including Kent Beck, Steve Blank, Sean Ellis, Andrew Chen, Randy Komisar, Hiten Shah, and many others.
While I can't be there I highly recommend anything that Eric is involved in. He's given me a discount code of ERIES25 which is good for 25% any ticket if you register for the event. If you are in the bay area on 4/23/10 I encourage you to check it out.
I've enjoyed my interviews on Vator.tv in the past and think Bambi Francisco and crew do a great job of highlighting up and coming entrepreneurs, companies, and their investors.
Vator is holding a Splash event on May 13, at the Cafe du Nord in San Francisco. Like its last event, about 400 attendees are expected. Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh will talk about how he built a company to a $1 billion exit to Amazon and Gurbaksh Chahal will talk about how he started and sold two companies for $340 million before the age of 25. About 30 investors from VC firms will be there and as a special bonus, there will be an afterparty with a band consisting of Adbrite founder Philip Kaplan, Mayfield VC Raj Kapoor and Norwest VC Tim Chang.
While I can't attend since I'll be on my Q2 vacation with Amy hiding from the world , Bambi gave me a discount code of "Splashfeld" which gets you 30% off on the registration. And there is still time to join the competition and get on stage.
I've been hinting about a new conference that we've been working on with Eric Norlin that complements Defrag and Glue. Eric is about to launch it and the splash page for the Blur Conference is up.
If you are familiar with Defrag and Glue, you know they are built around two of Foundry Group's themes (Protocol and Glue respectively). Blur is being built around our Human Computer Interaction theme, but with a twist. Instead of simply being able to "see cool stuff up close", our goal with Blur will be to create an environment where you can actually use and work with this stuff. We'll have user-oriented demos, hackathons, and tons of crazy shit no one has ever seen before.
Plus, we'll give away a lot of cool toys, have a ton of smart people who are working on the next generation of HCI in one place, and have some fun surprises. And we are doing it in an environment that is especially tuned for a conference like Blur.
I'm incredibly excited about what Eric has put together for this year's Glue Conference (as I wrote about the other day). He's setting a high bar for Blur, where the goal will now be to have a few brains explode! Get ready – it's never dull around here.

Happy Birthday, Armie Hammer!
Happy 26th birthday Armie Hammer!
prayer circle armie hammer
aka the man who is a critically acclaimed actor with SAG nomination, who is 6'4, universally attractive, grew up fishing in the caymen islands, and ties knots for fun
is cast as finnick odair
They are SO close to their next goal!!!
Here is why I believe Armie is perfect for Finnick, and why I campaign for him-
- Look wise, he is perfect. Finnick needs to look like a masterpiece. Armie has that. He is VERY tall, his voice is endearing, and he looks like a prince!- plus HE LOOKS LIKE A MAN. I've seen too many people wanting to cast people who can pass as high schoolers for Finnick, which will not do. Especially when Jennifer already looks a bit old.
- He is the perfect age!!! Finnick is 24, Armie is 25!
- HE CAN ACT. He has a Screen Actors Guild nomination, and has been in major movies. There is no denying his talent.
- His charisma is through the roof. He is hilarious, charming, and could pull off Finnick's dialogue effortlessly. Seriously, I DARE you to watch an Armie Hammer interview and not fall in love with him.
- BONUS: He grew up in the Caymen Islands fishing for food, AND he has said in an interview HE. TIES. KNOTS. This man IS Finnick.
I hope I could convince at least one person why Armie is perfection. Please stop by the Facebook page and give them a "like"!

Gearscore and ILvl don't necessarily follow each other.
ILvl is a straight average of the item levels of the items you have in each slot.
Gearscore weights different slots based on the item budget - for example, it will put more emphasis on the head, chest and leg slot items. It will also take into account the item quality. From a gear stat measure, Gearscore is more accurate.
So, you will usually have a different gear score from one person to the next, even though you may have the same equipped ILvl. If your gearscore is coming out lower then it probably means you have lower quality items in the key slots (chest, legs, head and possibly weapon).

Two years ago Ryan and I came across some white eyelash yarn while shopping at Michaels, and we decided to pick it up along with some other yarn since we thought it would be so cute to make a fluffy bear! I'm embarrassed to admit that this white eyelash yarn remained in a Michaels bag on a shelf in my desk as months and months went by. I continued to work on other projects and once in a while Ryan would say, "Hey, weren't we going to work on that bear with that special yarn we bought a while ago?" It wasn't until this past summer that we decided to finally pull out this yarn and use it to make an amigurumi!
This was my very first time working with eyelash yarn which is a type of novelty yarn that "appears as a thread base with several long strands spaced at even intervals that jut out at an angle from the main strand" (according to Wikipedia). The particular brand that we had purchased two years ago was "Patons Allure" in "Diamond" and more recently we purchased "Loops & Threads Luxurious Fur" in "Lynx" to make a second bear! It's interesting because both eyelash yarns are made of 100% nylon whereas previous yarns I've worked with are typically cotton or acrylic.
As you can see, eyelash yarn is very fuzzy! The white yarn had a more scraggly look to it…
The beige yarn was less scraggly and actually had a beautiful shimmer to it! It's neat how various eyelash yarns have different looks to them which help give the resulting amigurumi different looks too!
I was unaware of this at the time of purchasing the yarns, but they were of different thicknesses. And so, I ended up not being able to use the same pattern when making both bears because of this. As shown in the picture below, the white yarn ontop was bulky (5) while the beige yarn underneath was medium (4).
I started off making the white bear and since the white yarn was bulky, the whole pattern worked up very quickly! I began by working on his head…
When working with fluffy yarn, it is important to leave the "wrong side" of amigurumi on the outside as it is actually fluffier than the "right side" (read about "The RIght Side of Amigurumi" in my blog post HERE).
I must also warn you that working with eyelash yarn is not for the faint of heart or for beginners as it is extremely difficult/nearly impossible to see the individual stitches. Using a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round is imperative! I used a bobby pin before purchasing actual stitch markers as you can see in this picture below. If the next round was supposed to have 12 stitches, I knew that directly across from the bobby pin I should be at around 6 stitches and so a quarter of the way around the circle I should have about 3 stitches. This is how I estimated where to stick my crochet hook round by round :) Working with this yarn is also very forgiving, so even if you miss a stitch here or there or make a couple of mistakes along the way, it will not be visible!
When I was about to close up the ball we added our safety eyes! He looked so cute, and kind of reminded me of a soot sprite from Totoro!
Ryan then embroidered this sweet little nose on felt and glued it onto his face. I love how different noses can give amigurumi various expressions and character. Ryan always does a great job with the noses, and here he is showing off his handiwork!
I crocheted these tiny ears and then sewed them onto the teddy's head!
Next came the fluffy body!
For the limbs and the ears I used a lightweight (3) mercerized cotton ("Patons Grace"). This type of yarn contrasts nicely against the fluffy eyelash yarn and really helps the limbs and ears stand out! The arms are actually longer than the legs which gives a really cute look!
We knew we wanted to have this teddy hold something and we brainstormed different ideas…. I thought it would be SO cute if he was a crocheting bear so we quickly made some accessories for him with items we already had around the house! For the crochet hook we used some wire that we use to hang our Christmas ornaments onto our tree- Ryan cut and shaped the tip to make it look like a hook! And for the yarn, we used embroidery floss: Ryan tied many knots to form the base and then wrapped the embroidery floss around the knots while adding glue from a glue gun along the way so the floss would remain in place. To give you some perspective on how tiny his accessories are, this next photo shows a comparison of the yarn and hook with a Canadian penny:
Once we placed the yarn and hook into the teddy's hands he was all finished, and I absolutely fell in love with him! I love his sweet face and how fluffy he is, and of course I adore how he's doing my favourite hobby…crocheting! I decided to name him "Mochi" with the help of "artsysketchpaper" on Instagram! Mochi is one of my favourite foods and it is chewy and fluffy….I thought it would be the perfect name for this little cutie!
Here is a side view of Mochi!
As soon as we finished Mochi we knew we wanted to crochet him a little companion. Ryan came up with the idea of having a second female bear wearing a scarf using the same embroidery floss that Mochi was holding! Mochi would express his love by crocheting a scarf for his sweetie! And so, I quickly whipped up a second bear using the beige medium (4) yarn and adapted my pattern along the way. We gave her a pink nose and had her hold a flower for Mochi so that she could give him a gift too (the flower is from one of those scrapbook accessory kits)!
We decided to name the girl bear "Coco" which is short for coconut since it's fluffy and continues with the food theme :) Thank you to Betty, both Emmas, Kim and "disqus_bqN3KZ6mig" (I don't know why your name didn't appear, sorry!) through the blog comments and "iamanhera" on Instagram for helping me name her (as you can see, this was a popular name choice)! Here is a side view of Coco- I love how fluffy she is!
And here is a pic of Coco and Mochi together! I really appreciate your help in naming these two…. I could not think of any creative names for them and I am SO GLAD I could draw upon the collective minds of my blog readers!!! So many of you suggested very cute and meaningful names- I hope you'll use them for your own bears! I decided to call these two "The Fluff Bears" as a set! Who knows…maybe we'll be adding more bears to the Fluff Family in the future :)
To give you some more perspective on just how tiny these two are, here's a picture of me holding them! They fit nicely in the palm of my hand!
Aww, Coco and Mochi are so very much in love :)
[Arrow x Heart Flowy Tank Top by "The Steppie"; Necklaces by "Loft 82"]
Here is one last picture of the two Fluff Bears Coco and Mochi lounging in my crocheted basket (check out the blog post for the basket HERE). Aren't they just adorable?
Ryan and I wanted to show Coco and Mochi in action so we shot this little stop motion video for you to enjoy!
Prior to making Coco and Mochi, the only fuzzy amigurumi I had made were "Valentine Teddy" and "Fuzzy White Bear". The fuzzy look for these two was achieved by using a dog slicker brush to fuzz up the yarn. Using eyelash yarn gives a very different look as the individual stitches are not visible at all. This results in a very plush and furry amigurumi that does not even look crocheted! I really enjoyed working with eyelash yarn and I am excited to work with it again :)
I think it would be so cute to personalize these teddies by having them hold or wear different objects (e.g. guitar, book, hat, ballerina tutu) based on your own interests or the interests of the person you are gifting them to! The free pattern for these two teddies can be found HERE!!! Follow me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to get my updates :) Thanks for reading the story behind Coco and Mochi and I hope you're excited to make your very own fluff bears!
Here is a sneak peek of our newest amigurumi design! Aren't they cuties? They need names though (either individually or as a set)….do you have any ideas? We'd LOVE to hear your suggestions so please comment below!
The step-by-step blog post and free pattern will be up next week!
With Chinese New Year coming up, I wanted to create a special Chinese New Year Doll. Ryan and I thought it would be so cute if we could make a little bunny that she could hold since this upcoming year is the Year of the Rabbit! I knew this would be quite the challenge since it'd be my first original design and I wanted to make her quite intricate.
Ryan and I roughly sketched out different designs. Here's one of them:
My mind was swirling with ideas as I thought about how I'd make each piece, from her hair to her sleeves. I meticulously wrote down how I made each part and wrote out the pattern, which I am providing for free HERE.
I started off with her head and face, using 9 mm safety eyes and embroidery floss for her eyelashes and her mouth. She looks so funny when she's bald!
The hair was the challenging part. I wasn't sure what shape to make and how to position the hair on the head. If I made one big circle and sewed it ontop, it would simply look like she was wearing a hat (or that she had a bowl cut!). I really wanted to make a part in her hair as well. And so, I made two circles of varying sizes and overlapped them to create a side part for her! I flipped the circles inside out (as seen in photo below) since they fit the head better this way.
Then I made a red dress (red symbolizes good fortune and joy in traditional Chinese culture, and it's found everywhere during Chinese New Year) consisting of two parts: a tube and a circle for the bottom. I joined the circle to the tube with single crochets to create a frilly edge for the bottom. We cut out a cardboard circle, placed it in the bottom, and then filled her dress with rice so that she would stand nicely.
Next, I sewed a cute bun ontop of her head. Then we placed toothpicks in her hair (representing chopsticks of course :D) and Ryan used a glue gun to secure a little yellow and grey ball to the toothpicks. The glue gives it a nice oramental look, almost like a jewel or crystal.
I then made sleeves that flair out and two balls for her hands. Ryan helped me glue gun the hands into her sleeves. I attached the sleeves to her dress (doesn't it look like she's ready to give a big hug in the second photo?) and then tied her hands together so she's ready to hold something!
Now onto her little bunny toy! To make such a tiny bunny, I had to get special extra fine crochet thread as seen below:
My eyes were going a little wonky when I was making this bunny since the stitches were so tiny! I had to take breaks and work on it bit by bit. I pretty much made this bunny the same way as my other bunny, adjusting the pattern to make it smaller. Look how tiny the head is:
Assembling the little bunny didn't take too long. She sure is tiny, hey?
And now to place the little bunny into her arms :)
Here are some side views:
I had to bring out the other bunny too because they look so cute together!
And with some Red Pocket Money :)
Have a Happy Chinese New Year, everyone! Let me know what you think of my first original creation :) And once again, the free pattern that I've written out can be found HERE!

Aside from numerous national and international exhibitions, they have launched independent and innovative art formats such as: symposia / events / festivals / independent art fair / exhibitions with an international cast in Austria and abroad (Bulgaria, Belarus, Slovakia, etc., see CV), which they have fully executed, curated, organized, conceived, designed and graphically relayed. This cutting edge project's activities are about execution of contemporary exhibition territories and sites, new concepts, presentation formats, and a base for institutional critique activities.
ismTC is the first major project and research that we intend to realize together as a team in an all-female cast. This project substrate the synergy of artistic and theoretical intentions of both of us, relating to the gender relevant topics which have always been an immanent part of our artistic work.
The implementation of FEMIN
ismTC is for both of us a very compact and significant step, by realizing how we as artists, curators and female activists, gain more visibility and international media attention.
Iv Toshain was born in 1980 in Sofia, Bulgaria. She lives and workes in Vienna, Austria. After studying at Accademia delle Belle Arti di Brera in Milan, Italy, the National Art Academy in Sofia, Bulgaria and graduating MA at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, Austria in the master class of Franz Graf, she took part in numerous group and solo exhibitions in USA, Denmark, Czech Republic, Rumania, Poland, Austria, Bulgaria, Italy, Germany, etc. She has exhibited at the Museum for Applied Arts (MAK) in Vienna, Kunsthalle Project space Vienna; Laznia Centre for Contemporary Art in Gdansk; Kunstraum Innsbruck; Kuenstlerhaus Vienna; Museo della Permanente in Milan; Art Expo / MNAC in Bucharest; Museum Sammlung Friedrichshof in Austria. Since 2011 she is co/founder, the curator and executive organizer of the PARKFAIR – Avantgarde Art Fair for established and emerging contemporary artists at the third level of the open air parking deck of the Stadium Center in Vienna, taking place during the Vienna Fair.
In 2012 she was awarded the MIA AWARD 2012 for outstanding achievements of women with international backgrounds living and working in Austria in the category Art and Culture.
Her art combines architecture of imaginary and emotional spaces, sculpture, and painting. It operates through "functional visual communication", which refers to elementary structures, systems and universal symbols. At first sight, this may involve representational functions, but representation is not its purpose. As Deleuze and Guattari would say, art is a bloc of sensations, waiting to be reactivated by a spectator or participant. Art, then, can be understood as the name for a function: a form of magic or aesthetics, a function of transformation, experience, and communication.
ANNA CEEH (*1974, born in UdSSR, lives and works in Austria) is a Russian-born, Vienna-based artist who has been working for over 10 years in the international arts scene. Her body of work spans from self-portrait photography to video, electronic music and related applied research. In her most recent work, she takes a refreshing, anarchic approach to high-end inkjet printers. In working with reproductions, she subverts the meaning of the printers, the idea of photocopying and photographic reporduction. "By scanning in a subverted print and then printing it out on a 'properly' set up printer, its a sort of 'cure' for subversion!" says English writer, Richard Noyce, of her work.
She is co-founder (with Franz Pomassl) of the sonic research project ⁄S⁄O⁄N⁄I⁄C⁄ ⁄Z⁄O⁄N⁄E⁄S⁄ incl. ZONE Club (former RUS KLUB) series at Vienna Secession (2003-2012) and RADIUS Festival for advanced electronic music and related visual art from Post Soviet Countries at CAT MAK, Vienna. ⁄S⁄O⁄N⁄I⁄C⁄ ⁄Z⁄O⁄N⁄E⁄S⁄ Festivals and Events in Azerbajan, Belarus, Ukraine, Kasachstan, Lituania, Estonia, Russia (incl. Arctis, Siberia, Far East). (Honorary Mention Digital Musics & Sound Art, Ars Electronica 2011)

In his movie "School of Rock" back in 2003, Jack Black hated the man. A term he coined to all those who were on top of their league, the game-changers, those who deteriorated life in all its aspect. The man, was always someone who win and make you quit trying because they are the standards you have to compete with everyday of your life. The man was living in the spirit of each of every icon we'll feature on our Power Issue this year.
To the Filipino couturier to the Hollywood stars that gave inspiration to a lot of aspiring designers in the country and brought glory to our local fashion industry and proving that the Filipino mind when it comes to fashion can also be a front runner. Oliver Tolentino together with Michael Cinco and a lot other Filipino fashion designers who made it big in the international scene will always be a pride to our country, not just because they carry that pride and blood of our nationality, but for the effort of promoting our local products in the global fashion industry, making it a fine cut above the rest. Oliver Tolentino had Fergie, Melissa Rauch from Big Bang Theory, Amber Riley of Glee, Maria Menounos, Rachael Leigh Cook, Sophia Bush, Jessica Sanchez, Victoria Justice, and Emmy Rossum to name a few.
PEOPLE Asia just named her the National Sweetheart, and she embraced it as tight as her belief that she's the Princess of all media. Anne Curtis is everywhere. And that is the beauty we'd love to see every waking moment of our life. The beauty on the outside, the intelligence, the boundary she puts on when it comes to issues of fame, glamour, and personal life. She is a true definition of what an A-list celebrity is all about, and on BEING a celebrity. Everyone loves Anne Curtis. She made everyone looking up to her, love her craft, her personality, her boyfriend, and recently, her music. She will keep dominating EDSA with her numerous Billboard ads, and keep appearing on glossies, make more coming of age films, entertain you on daytime TV…because Anne Curtis ain't no drama queen. She's just a queen who owns the most gorgeous lips, being herself, keeping it classy.
The Superstar is back and bound to pick herself up again. Signed a contract on a TV Station and made an evening Teleserye. The Noranians revived themeselves as the fandom continues. With two entries at the recent Metro Manila Film Festival (Thy Womb and El Presidente), Nora Aunor ain't just earning money this time, she's earning back the glory and the respect that will always be placed on her lap in exchange of her acting prowess that will always be the standard every actress will set among themselves. The will to make more movies that really makes sense, that is the sports Nora Aunor will continue playing. Will she be the counterpart to FPJ's National Artist award? That is the question that we're all waiting.
The Filipino Flash. Yahoo Sports, Ring TV, Top Rank, named him Fighter of the Year. As for ESPN who named our very own Nonito Donaire, Boxer of the Year. After defeating Puerto Rico's Wilfredo Vazquez Jr., South Africa's Jeffrey Mathebula, japan's Toshiaki Nishioka and putting Mexico's Jorge Arce to permanent rest in his boxing career, there is no stopping Nonito Donaire as Boxing's next big thing. He is the Number 1 drug-free pound for pound boxer. He also overtakes People's Champ Manny Pacquiao in the Pound for pound ranking. Pacquiao at 7 and Donaire at rank 6. There is a bright future in the world of boxing as The Filipino Flash becomes the newest flag bearer proving the rest of the world,that we are the best fighters.
Paulo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV is someone to look up to. His web of interests just simply amaze us because those things define what an Aquino should really be all about. Aside from being an entrepreneur, Bam Aquino was also the former chairman of the National Youth Commission. He's running and the acting president of MicroVentures Inc. helping starting businesses to grow and earn well with the help of The Hapinoy Program. But what made Bam Aquino an even notable man was after he was chosen as one of the Ten Outstanding Persons of 2012. Right now, he is about to take on the role of being a public servant as he joins the Liberal Party as a senatorial candidate for 2013.
Kesz Valdez is the Pinoy Peace Prize awardee, the most prestigious award for children all over the world. Kesz was our young Efren Peñaflorida. Inspired by the beauty of helping his fellow street children, Kesz started this charity foundation that raises funds for the less fortunate kids on the street of Cavite. "Championing Community Children," was the name of that charity. This heroic move made everyone look up to him and realize for themselves what good things can come up from little kids. That at that very young age, already thinks of helping his fellow children, and making changes in their lives.
Miss Universe 2012 First Runner Up, Janine Tugonon, was both the least and most celebrated Binibining Pilipinas Universe we ever had. After losing at the the 2011 Binibining Pilipinas, she struggled making decisions whther to join the year after her loss. After winning the crown in 2012 and was chosen to represent the country in Ms. Universe, not everyone was enthralled with the big winner that night. She was bashed, hated, and summoned for all the negative things many people believe she can't do, like winning that Ms. Universe crown after two strikes at the beauty pageant for the past two years. After shaping herself up, janine Tugonon stood up for what she's worth and cobra walked her way to the highlight of the international pageant, the final two. So close to the crown. So close to winning the coveted title. So close to that huge slap to all her haters. But her victory in landing to that 1st runner up spot was already a solid proof that this year, we had the strongest contender we all underestimated. And for three straight years, we have skipped the fictional pattern of victory. Janine was our cobra. That unexpected bite at the crown was the feircest and most fearless battle we had on that Miss Universe stage. Now all eyes on the next contender we'll be having.

David Banner
Mississippi: The Album
The first single, "Like A Pimp," featuring Flip, has been blowing up the southern airwaves and getting big spins on BET, MTV and MTV2 while being added to radio play lists cross country. And that ain't even the tightest track on the album. Banner packs a wallop in the first five tracks where Lil' Jon, Lil' Flip and Pastor Troy are featured. "Might Getcha" and "Fuck 'Em" featuring Jon and Troy, respectively, are but two examples of the earsplitting, sonic riot showcasing Banner's aggressive and manic, tongue twisting, raspy flow. "Fuck 'Em" also contains additional vocals from Bone Crusher and a relentless, high-stepping tempo that Jackson State's marching band would be hard pressed to keep step with during half time.
The song "Mississippi," serves as a demarcation point, the start of the second half, because the album takes a noticeable dip in depth with the title track. The evocative blues feelings attained on nearly every track there after is largely accomplished through an instinctive combination of soulful vocals, live instrumentation--something virtually unheard of in southern rap--and mid- to up-tempo beats. Mississippi is a reflection of the maturity of a constantly growing, vis-�-vis, his strength is shown through a developed lyrical delivery accompanied by some of the most superb beats from down below. Cop it while it's hot; Mississippi is expected to move over seventy thousand units the first week out the gate.

"As guild leader, I always put my foot down when it was late at night and people wanted to discuss guild business. A Saturday at 2 a.m. is not the time for that!"
Why would it make a difference what time it is if the guild leader is online? I understand if they've put up DND or whatever, but why should guild members not discuss guild matters just because it's 2 a.m.? I work evenings from 3 p.m. to midnight, which means my play time is in the 12:30 to 3 or 4 a.m. range. If I wanted to discuss guild business, 2 a.m. would be a pretty good time if our guild leader was on. I don't think there should be one specific time that people should not discuss guild business just because it is that time, unless it's a time the guild leader put aside to play for themselves or whatever, or course.

Common Core Standards: Math
7. Solve linear equations in one variable.
One of the really nice things about math is that there's always one right answer. None of that wishy-washy, subjective, personalized, "What do you think?" stuff in math. Let English teachers deal with all that. In math, if an answer is right, it's right. That's it. The end. No questions asked.
Well… no, not always. Sometimes in math, there are no right answers and sometimes there are an infinite number of answers to a problem.
Make sure to clean your students' brains off the walls after their heads explode.
Standard Components
- Give examples of linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions. Show which of these possibilities is the case by successively transforming the given equation into simpler forms, until an equivalent equation of the form x = a, a = a, or a = b results (where a and b are different numbers).
- Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms.

It turned out a lame situation when Taylor got dumped by way of text message.

And who decides the kind of legitimacy they deserve or don't deserve? You? Western media? Western governments? The same people, I suppose, who decide that "we" are saints and "they" are demons. The sort of black-and-white worldview many here seem to be advocating is exactly what leads to war. Try putting yourself in the shoes of "the other side", try to find reason for their actions, because I promise you that everyone has a reason, very few people would put their lives on the limb on a whim.

(CBS) For the second straight year, the Bears are in a late-season free fall and might not make the playoffs.
But this time, Lovie Smith still has Jay Cutler and Matt Forte. Since the Bears beat the Tennessee Titans Nov. 4 to improve to 7-1, they've appeared to regress each week and have now lost four of their last five games.
If the Bears don't make the playoffs this season, should general manager Phil Emery fire Lovie and bring in someone new?

Also, there's the possibility that Cataclysm was not a well thought out expansion. Several factors which created the surge in Wrath were disregarded in favor of trying something new.
A lot of people INSIST that Cata is the most wonderful thing since sliced bread, almost because if it's not then their source of happy-time will crumble. It's not.
I lived for Wrath - loved it - right through to the end. Bringing in a whole continent with its own personality and feel was brilliant and felt very new and refreshing. But Cata: Tweaking old content and mixing the zones in with old zones needed to be done, but as an expansion it failed. Launch sales numbers do not equal a successful expansion. It left the player base feeling aimless and starved. 11.4 represents a lot of accounts left subbed, but not active, and endgame grinders.
Let's call a spade a spade. You get no bonus points for gushing all over them.

September 15, 2014 BOOKLIST
September 2014
Russell concludes the two-part adaptation of Gaiman's Newberry Medal winner, encompassing the final three chapters of the novel. Bod, raised by the ghostly denizens of a graveyard, is a young adult now, yearning for knowledge of the world of the living.
Launched in 1982 in response to a surge in reported book challenges in schools, bookstores, and libraries, Banned Books Week (held this year on September 21–27) is a time when hundreds of libraries and bookstores across the country set up displays, host events, and stage read-ins to help focus attention on the problem of censorship.
Smart and stylish. Everyone loves smart and stylish, especially when those two qualities pertain to travel guides. And National Geographic guides have smarts and style in spades. They not only help you get the best out of a place, they practically insist, by their bountiful and comely illustrations and their highly spirited text, that you get up off the sofa and go, go, go. It is with pleasure that we announce NatGeo guides as our best travel guide series of 2014. Some recent titles follow.
Regency Romances, set roughly from the end of the eighteenth century through the early years of the nineteenth century, when George IV acted as regent for his father, George III, feature fascinating details of dress, carriages, and the elaborate social mores of the ton, Britain's aristocracy. They often combine adventure and intrigue with romantic comedy, but what makes them splendid entertainment on audio is the witty dialogue, often better heard than read. To satisfy eager listeners, here's a core collection of the best of the best, organized by author.
Taking a Break
If Liz Carlyle didn't get bored so easily, she might never have become an author. The first time Carlyle, pen name for Susan T. Woodhouse, seriously considered becoming a writer was in the seventh grade, when a teacher told her she had literary talent. During her senior year in high school, Carlyle won a Scripps-Howard writing scholarship, and she majored in journalism in college. Carlyle did some freelance work for the local paper but worried that she might not land a full-time newspaper job after graduation.
It was a story the media found irresistible: two transgender teens—Katie Rain Hill, an MTF transgender, and Arin Andrews, an FTM transgender—from small Oklahoma towns met against all odds and fell in love. Katie was the first to attract attention when a Tulsa newspaper did an article on her, but both teens sprang to national celebrity when the TV program Inside Edition subsequently did a feature on them. By this time, they were represented by a British media content company, and, inevitably, other media appearances followed.
Booklist has always been a strong advocate of armchair travel—not that we pooh-pooh actually traveling with plane tickets and hotel reservations in hand—and to that end, we present here the best of travel literature reviewed in Booklist from September 15, 2013, to September 1, 2014.

Firefighters battled two house fires late Wednesday night, one in Chesterfield, and the other in Henrico.
No one was hurt in either fire.
Investigators are working to figure out what started the fire in Chesterfield. It happened a little after 11 p.m. in the 12000 block of Second Branch Road, which is not too far from River Road. When Chesterfield firefighters and EMS arrived on the scene, they found a two-car garage on fire.
However, investigators do know what caused a house fire in the 10000 block of Westek Drive in Henrico. It happened around 7:30 p.m. Investigators believe faulty wiring under the home was the cause of the fire.
When fire crews arrived, they found smoke coming from under the home. Their investigation led them to a fire in the crawl space under the home, and the fire made its way into the walls. The home has minor damage.

Finally a pair of gloves that allow you to really let your hands go while training MMA stand-up. The new Evolve-X gloves offer an incredible amount of protection for the striker's hands so you can work your Muay Thai and Boxing without compromising your ability to grapple and defend takedowns. Once the sparring hits the mats, you've got ample finger/hand mobility as well as padding over the knuckles and sides (great for those of you who love your hammerfists). 1.75" knuckle padding.
The dual strap system provides a secure and uniform tightness around the wrist. Even the wrist support has dense padding, ensuring that blocked head kicks don't leave you with a broken hand or wrist. Edges are covered with red contrast piping to prevent unnecessary scratches and abrasions while grappling. And the longer fingers help cut down on unintentional eye pokes. Steve Shepherd and the boys at Evolve-X really covered all the bases with these hybrid MMA gloves. In a league of their own.
Genuine leather construction.
Sizing:Measure the circumference of your knuckles (include handwraps if you'll be using them under the gloves) and compare to the following:14oz: 7"-8"16oz: 8"-8.75"
I own two pairs of the armorfit brand which was technically the first generation to these and I love them. I spoke with steve shepard the owner and he had sent me a few demonstration videos and early pictures before the release of this generation. They are great for light sparring for mma standup/ground and pound. I think they normally run $60 or more. It's nice because of the extra padding for hammerfist and ridgehand. Also it covers the second set of knuckles which is excelent. Because if you have ever spared with regular mma gloves you always catch you buddy with the exposed knuckles and that's just not cool. I would defiantly recommend these!
I like this look. Wish I could get them

The Role Of The Spartans In Ancient Greece
Germanic Tribes and later Norse cultures worshiped many of the Gods who know grace the names of the days of our weeks. Event he Angles and the Saxons venerated this pantheon. Viking refers to a profession rather than a culture. The Vikings took to their long ships and started raiding the seas due to the economic conditions of the 9th to 11th centuries. A surplus of a nobility coupled with the lack of availability of land caused many of these daring seaman to seek their fortune on the High seas.here.wordpress.com/2011/11/19/vikingsaxon-day-longboats-and-raids/'>This{{/tag} helps explain it more. Vikings would raid ships, castles and settlements. They may even capture Christian monks and sell them into slavery. Although people consider the Vikings to be fierce warriors, the most famous product of this time is a warrior known as the berserker, http://directtelevisionpackages.com/direct-tv/California/Direct-TV-Los-Angeles/, Berserkers, who were famous for their rages, were often sent out as shock troops at a start of the battle. They often did not wear armor and used their rage to make them a more effective fighting force. Historians still debate what caused the rages. Theories include hallucinogenic drugs or simple rituals designed to bring the warriors into a fury. When the raiding was done, they often went back to their families and lived quiet lives. They would return to their career when the seas were right.

On the Use of Ceiling-Price Commitments by Monopolists
AbstractThe establishment of an asking, or ceiling, price from which reductions can be bargained is a common selling practice. For a monopolist seller of a single object, this article characterizes the best such ceiling price and shows that its use is optimal among all incentive-compatible mechanisms in a class of situations characterized by customers (1) who arrive one at a time and so do not compete with other directly and (2) who learn their idiosyncratic willingnesses to pay only by incurring idiosyncratic inspection costs.

I'm one of those members not zealously pro-european. I joined for other reasons, and have to reluctantly swallow the european stuff as part of the package.
down with zeal, wherever it is, apart for zeal for life.
Over on his blog Iain Sharpe has wondered about the European views of Liberal Democrat members:
Are the Lib Dems really pro-European?…
Lib Dem attitudes towards Europe reminds me of G.K. Chesterton's The man who was Thursday. In this novel, the members of an anarchist cell are one-by-one revealed to be undercover policemen. In a similar way, Lib Dem activists, often portrayed in the media as starry-eyed pro-Europeans, are more often than not undercover Eurosceptics. Time and again I let slip in conversation to a Lib Dem colleague that I don't quite share the party's zeal for the European project only to be told that neither do they.
Genuine Euro-enthusiasts seem to me relatively thin on the ground in the Lib Dems.
The last Liberal Democrat Voice survey of party members to ask about Europe found:
The Lib Dems are traditionally identified as the most pro-European of all the parties, so it's interesting to see the different views among our sample of party members here. Although the single most popular answer (with 48%) is the most pro-integration response, not many fewer (37%) believe that the UK's position within the EU should remain the status quo, with no further push towards ever closer union. In total, 14% believe the UK is already in too deep, though full withdrawal is advocated by just 2% of Lib Dem members.
There are two ways of looking at the figures. On the one hand, a massive 85% of party members back the UK's membership of the European Union. On the other hand, however, a bare majority of the party membership, 51%, believes the UK should resist any moves towards closer ties.
What's your view on where opinions rest in the Liberal Democrats?
Add your comment...Please be polite, on topic and don't use multiple different names. Thanks!
I'm one of those members not zealously pro-european. I joined for other reasons, and have to reluctantly swallow the european stuff as part of the package.
down with zeal, wherever it is, apart for zeal for life.
I think in any case that it is important that there is a major pro-European party out there so that those who are so inclined have someone to vote for. Beyond this, the LDs are famously pro-European as a party, so presumably those who do not want closer ties with the EU don't have that as a very high salience issue if they've joined the party. The LD party has lost a lot of votes in not adhering to principles and policy that the public expects it to - if the public sees the LDs as pro-European then becoming anti-European would alienate the remaining supporter base, make the party look unprincipled to potential voters and likely not bring in many new votes as most other parties are varying shades of eurosceptic. Also, keep in mind that LDV polls are not "proper" opinion polling, and although useful, as far as I'm aware they are not weighed. As such I would expect a slant towards younger LDs who actually use the internet for campaigning and discussion - who may not have the same opinions as the membership at large. For instance, this group tends to be more economically liberal than the membership at large. So in my view LDV surveys are indicative, but not conclusive. I would agree that the membership is not universally pro-European. However given that the surveys would sample largely the same people repeatedly, there is no weighing to try and compensate for sampling error, the samples are relatively small, and there'd be a margin of error anyway - I would not be at all inclined to take it as read that 51% of members overall would resist closer ties! Overall, given that the data is merely suggestive and I cannot be too confident in it, and given the messages that adopting an anti-European position would send out to a voting public that already views the LDs as quite unprincipled (not an attack, it's just the sad reality on the ground) - if I were in charge of the LD party I would strongly advise against your adopting a eurosceptic position. It would probably backfire.
Duncan Moore: We have tried weighting the polls (by gender and region, to match the actual figures for the party's membership) and that makes very little different to the result. We couldn't weight by age as there aren't age stats for party membership we can compare the survey results with, but when I've investigated the data on all the other criteria we've tried asking about (e.g. length of party membership) it doesn't make much of a difference to the result. Nor does there appear to be a particular age bias. Also, when put to the test against other measures of party opinion, such as leadership election results, the surveys have all but once done very well. The one exception they survey got the result right but the margin off by a fair amount, reflecting (I think) that the survey as you would expect lean somewhat to the more activist end of the membership spectrum. However, on the specific question of Europe, the survey results do pretty accurately mirror the results of other research done by academics at UK universities into the European views of Lib Dem members and supporters. That's not to say the surveys are the same as full random samples of the party's membership, and caution should always be applied to the findings.
So 85% of Party membership is pro-European. What's provocative about that?
