Adjustable Height Mojo Play Table is rated out of 5 by 41.
Rated 5 out of 5 by momoftheboys from Cutest little chairs ever I purchased 2 orange and 2 green mojo chairs and they are the cutest little chairs ever. They arrived at my house in perfect condition AND preassembled. I was expecting to have to assemble these on my own, but to my surprise they were already built. They are really sturdy, as I will sit with my boys on them while they color. The style of these just fit perfect with the rest of our playroom decor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MamaBree from LOVE these chairs! These are high quality, VERY sturdy and VERY adorable! I got 2 lime green ones to go with my sons play table and he thinks they are the coolest. All his friends that come over to play comment on how "cool" they are.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LizW from Excellent table I don't normally write reviews, but I feel very strongly about this table, so wanted to submit a report. I am extremely pleased with this table and the rolling storage bin. The table is beautiful and very well made. The furniture is heavy and well crafted, the rolling storage bin has nice strong wheels and the product looks great in our house. We're using it as both a coffee table & a play table for our daughter and I feel pleased having it in our living room as it fits in with our regular decor without looking like the house is dominated by our child. The storage bin keeps her toys within reach but out of sight. While the table was a bit more expensive than others I could have purchased, I feel that I received full value for the money I spent, and it's adjustable height means we can use it for years to come. Excellent product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mom2Bear from nice chair! My son picked this out himself after seeing it on the website. He's 3 so I was apprehensive; not something I would've chosen. I should listen to him more often! It's nicely constructed and attractive, I can even sit in it with no problem. I'm going to order another one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SuzanneIN from Great piece I bought this table with the intention of using it as our coffee table. My kids are older now and do not use it for trains or the like, but I wanted a piece of furniture with a large enough surface to do jigsaw puzzles. The lip around the end is perfect to catch the pieces. We use the drawer to store quilts when they are not being used for cuddling. The directions were a little tricky at times but the customer support was more than helpful. I'm quite pleased with the piece and would order from Land of Nod again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LindaC from Great table! Very sturdy and modern design. My 15 month child loves to assemble his train set on the table and scribble/doodle. Perfect height for him and I can adjust it when he is older.

Rated 5 out of 5 by amommy4ever from Awesome & Stylish I first saw this table and chair set at a local car wash place. I had to track down the owner to find out where he purchased it because I fell in love with it. Was not surprised when he said Land of Nod because I have always loved their stuff. I went home and ordered it that day for my little boy's playroom. It arrived quickly and the setup was a breeze. My son loves to sit on the little chairs(I bought the ones pictured). He uses this table everyday and although it was a little more expensive than I wanted to spend it was well worth it and we will be able to use it for a very long time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JillC from The perfect table! This table is great! It's beautiful, high quality and can hold so much with the storage bin. My son can easily pull the rolling storage bin out by himself to look for a toy, and on the flip side, he can easily put his toys back in and push the storage bin back under the table. It's the perfect height and has a lip around the top of the table, so cars won't roll off the edge. We had looked for a play table that didn't look like a play table for years, and now that we have this, we wonder how we got by without it. I highly recommend this table for a playroom, family room, etc. It'll clean-up and dress-up any room.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SEF28 from Great table We purchased this table because I loved that it was a 2 in 1 table. We have the low table up now and it is great for my 2 year old. The table was easy to assemble and very sturdy. The chairs are very sturdy as well which is nice that adults can sit on them too. Also we like how the storage bin can roll open to either side of the table.

Rated 5 out of 5 by mizolga from Our new coffee table We were looking for a modern table that looked as good in adult land as kid land and this one fit the bill. We will most likely always use it in the down position as it is now our new coffee table in the family room. It has proven sturdy and we love the rolling, completely discreet toy box underneath. I doubt we would have been ok shelling out so much for just a playtable, but with double duty as a coffee table, we feel it is a great value.NOTE: the playmat has to be cut to fit and does not fit the entire width of the table. Hopefully land of nod will correct this in the future. In the meantime, we think a slightly ill fitting playmat is better than no playmat and it still protects the table.

Creator of 'The Wire' Says 'There Are Now Two Americas. My Country Is a Horror Show.'
Photo Credit: Shutterstock.com/Lightspring
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
America is a country that is now utterly divided when it comes to its society, its economy, its politics. There are definitely two Americas. I live in one, on one block in Baltimore that is part of the viable America, the America that is connected to its own economy, where there is a plausible future for the people born into it. About 20 blocks away is another America entirely. It's astonishing how little we have to do with each other, and yet we are living in such proximity.
There's no barbed wire around West Baltimore or around East Baltimore, around Pimlico, the areas in my city that have been utterly divorced from the American experience that I know. But there might as well be. We've somehow managed to march on to two separate futures and I think you're seeing this more and more in the west. I don't think it's unique to America.
I think we've perfected a lot of the tragedy and we're getting there faster than a lot of other places that may be a little more reasoned, but my dangerous idea kind of involves this fellow who got left by the wayside in the 20th century and seemed to be almost the butt end of the joke of the 20th century; a fellow named Karl Marx.
I'm not a Marxist in the sense that I don't think Marxism has a very specific clinical answer to what ails us economically. I think Marx was a much better diagnostician than he was a clinician. He was good at figuring out what was wrong or what could be wrong with capitalism if it wasn't attended to and much less credible when it comes to how you might solve that.
You know if you've read Capital or if you've got the Cliff Notes, you know that his imaginings of how classical Marxism – of how his logic would work when applied – kind of devolve into such nonsense as the withering away of the state and platitudes like that. But he was really sharp about what goes wrong when capital wins unequivocally, when it gets everything it asks for.
That may be the ultimate tragedy of capitalism in our time, that it has achieved its dominance without regard to a social compact, without being connected to any other metric for human progress.
We understand profit. In my country we measure things by profit. We listen to the Wall Street analysts. They tell us what we're supposed to do every quarter. The quarterly report is God. Turn to face God. Turn to face Mecca, you know. Did you make your number? Did you not make your number? Do you want your bonus? Do you not want your bonus?
And that notion that capital is the metric, that profit is the metric by which we're going to measure the health of our society is one of the fundamental mistakes of the last 30 years. I would date it in my country to about 1980 exactly, and it has triumphed.
Capitalism stomped the hell out of Marxism by the end of the 20th century and was predominant in all respects, but the great irony of it is that the only thing that actually works is not ideological, it is impure, has elements of both arguments and never actually achieves any kind of partisan or philosophical perfection.
It's pragmatic, it includes the best aspects of socialistic thought and of free-market capitalism and it works because we don't let it work entirely. And that's a hard idea to think – that there isn't one single silver bullet that gets us out of the mess we've dug for ourselves. But man, we've dug a mess.

IMO make it so when you Zone in to a certain area, like a PVP area. In the PVP area you have the battle masters, arena and etc. WG and Hellfire and etc would just have to remain PVE imo. But your talents change to the "pvp" ones then you zone in, then when you zone out of the area They go back to the "pve" ones.

Dead Space (Xbox 360)
The monsters are coming.
I know, because I can hear them. They scuttle overhead, through the air ducts. I can hear the cold tick-tick-tick of their limbs against steel. What's that up ahead? Did I just see something moving in the shadows?
Lights flicker. Corpses are littered about. In their dying moments, these dead people apparently found the strength to write helpful and not-helpful messages in blood on the walls. Someone wrote, "Cut off their limbs!" (Helpful.) Someone else wrote, "This ship is f***ed." (Not helpful, but obviously very true.) The developers do a terrific job of laying on the terror nice and thick in Dead Space's opening moments.
And then, suddenly -- boo! -- a monster appears.
It's running towards you. It looks like a man crossed with a praying mantis. You shoot off a wing, and it keeps coming. You shoot off a leg, and it crawls. You shoot off its head, and it uses its last wing to crawl towards you.
Finally, once it's dead, you think, Wait a second. Was that thing wearing pants?
Yes, some of the monsters wear pants in Dead Space. Maybe there's a monster pants store somewhere. I can picture them, trying on their ragged, gore-covered pants, saying to one another, "Do I look scary in these?"
The point here is this: Dead Space is actually frightening, before it parades out its various creatures.
By "various creatures" I mean the crawling ones. And the fat ones. And the ones that look charred, like they were on the hibachi for too long. And the little ones that wave tentacles at you, which shoot some weird darts. And the big, armor-covered ones, which are in the habit of galloping past you, conveniently exposing their unarmored backsides.
Dead Space tells the story of Isaac Clarke, one-fifth of a rescue party sent to investigate a troubled mining ship. Within the game's opening moments, the five-person rescue party is reduced to a three-person rescue party. There's a curiously bitchy woman, a bald dude and you. (You just knew those two blank-faced guys weren't going to last long.)
For the remainder of the game, bitchy woman and bald dude give you things to do. Most of these so-called "missions" feel, at best, like random excuses to get you to some far-flung part of the ship. And at worst, they feel like petty errands. "Isaac," the bitchy woman says to me, "You need to go to the cargo bay and get the gravitational centrifuge switched back on."
That's describes the majority of Dead Space's missions: Go here. Do this. Go there. Do that. Fight a few monsters. Maybe fight a boss. And pick up my dry cleaning on the way back, if you don't mind.
The game has all the classic survival horror ingredients: underpowered weapons, limited ammo and a painfully slow-moving avatar. Well, Isaac doesn't exactly move: He lumbers and lurches. Your task is to kill (or avoid, if you can lumber and lurch away) the monsters, solve the occasional rudimentary puzzle, make efficient use of the bits of ammo you have, and explore the ship, all in the name of creeping yourself out.
We're going to need some of that orange sawdust that the janitor used to spread on puke in elementary school.
A massive, empty spaceship full of corpses seems like it should be fertile ground for a survival horror game. Unfortunately, I felt like I was constantly traversing the same hallways, climbing the same sets of stairs, and enduring countless wasn't-I-just-here moments. Looking at my notes, I see that I've written "FEELS LIKE I AM SPENDING A LOT OF TIME RIDING IN ELEVATORS."
Blame BioShock for spoiling me, but this vacant spaceship never felt like a real place to me. I never believed -- not for a second -- that actual people ever lived here, the way that I did in practically every moment of BioShock. Sure, there were toilets -- the squarest damn toilets I've ever seen -- and trams, and waiting rooms, etc. But the architectural proportions of these places always seemed off, making the whole ship feel sort of like a dollhouse that's been cobbled together from the parts of other dollhouses.
I did appreciate the retro aesthetic of Isaac's mining suit. I like how he hunches over as he walks, as if that big, diving-bell helmet is simply too heavy for him to carry. He looks more like a reluctant welder going to work rather than your typical videogame bad-ass. That's a good thing.
The game plays some nifty Eternal Darkness-like tricks on you during the later stages, making you question if what you're seeing -- and hearing -- is real or not, making you truly feel as if Isaac is slowly becoming psychologically unhinged. The soundtrack is simply superb: Even on my fairly low-end 5.1 surround sound system, I heard machinery clanging off in the distance, this hiss of air vents kicking on and, occasionally, weird, soft voices whispering from somewhere. At least, I thought I heard whispers.
Yet there's also a hint of sweaty desperation in Dead Space. In the name of mixing things up, the developers unwisely included several zero-gravity sections in the game. During these sections, you can float and fly around, solving puzzles and fighting monsters. In theory, a good idea; but in practice, zero-gravity doesn't work. Typically, I'd lose my bearings, losing sight of where I was supposed to go. And it's in these moments that you can depend on the developers dropping several monsters into the environment, making the game's camera spin out of control, while the monsters take turns giving you zero-gravity wedgies.
But the most unforgivable flaw of Dead Space can be found in the inherent stupidity of the monsters. Remember that moment in Resident Evil 4 -- what, you thought I was going to make it through the entire review without invoking RE4? -- when one of the possessed villagers barks out orders in Spanish to the other possessed villagers? I remember thinking, Shit, these mofos are organized. There was always this sense that there was a pecking order, a social hierarchy that was respected by the evils in RE4.
In contrast, the evils in Dead Space are an unorganized lot. Their sole motivation: kill, kill, kill. Their sole combat tactic: to run headlong at you, waving their arms above their heads.
If only the things you lumber everywhere to fight exhibited some crude smarts; if only they did something vaguely interesting, or different, now and then. Instead, in the end, it's their far-too-predictable behaviors that diminish the dramatic momentum Dead Space begins with, making the sojourn into space tedious instead of tense.
This review is based on a retail copy of the game provided by the publisher.

DVD movies that you buy or rent can be viewed on your computer using a number of DVD player programs, but there are a few downsides to this approach - especially for laptop users who travel a lot:
1. Battery life on laptops is greatly reduced by the mechanical spinning of the DVD drive.
2. It's a pain to swap out DVD discs for each movie, let alone pack the discs along if you're on a vacation or business trip.
3. The spinning DVD drive is noisy and can be annoying for passengers sitting next to you.
For these reasons, it's often desirable to convert each DVD movie to an electronic format so they can be viewed as videos. This approach lets you store several videos on your hard and play them as often as you like without having to swap out DVD discs. Your battery life will also be a lot longer, because you won't have to keep a DVD drive spinning to watch the videos.
Converting commercial movies into video format requires software that's able to crack the copy-protection and convert the movie into common digital video formats, such as Quicktime's .mp4/.mov format, or Windows Media's .wmv format.
In this article I'll show you 5 easy steps for converting copy-protected DVD movies into videos using Wondershare's DVD Ripper Platinum program. You'll be able to convert your movies into numerous formats for viewing them on your computer as well as mobile devices like the iPhone, PSP, Zune and even an Apple TV.
To get started, download Wondershare for Windows (also available for Mac) from their website and follow along with the steps below:
1. Install and start Wondershare DVD Ripper Platinum, and insert the DVD movie into your disc drive.

Shower Curtains: Long or Short?
A while back I blogged about fabric vs. plastic shower curtain liners. Maybe I am over thinking the bathroom, but recently a related subject came up while chatting with a friend-- how long is a shower curtain supposed to hang?
In my opinion, shower curtains should never touch the floor, or be as close as shown in the photo above. In general, bathrooms are small damp rooms so the area should remain fairly sterile, clutter free, and light on fabric. The idea of a fabric curtain hitting the floor creeps me out because it will invariably get wet and possibly moldy over time.
My friend reasoned the opposite point of view, saying that the base of most tubs are so ugly (think plastic) that it's always better to cover them entirely with a pretty curtain.
So I ask you, readers, what's your point of view?

I like the look of the longer shower curtain, but I usually keep mine about 1-inch off the bathroom floor. If it were just me, it would probably be fine to have a longer curtain, but I live with a man who likes to seal off the bathroom and steam himself for an hour, so mold and general ickyness is an issue in our bathroom.
Personally, I like shower curtains to hang about 2 inches up from the floor. That way, hairs don't get trapped under it, the bathmat will fit under & it won't get soaking wet from the puddles that always form (from my kids showers, I swear, not mine!)
If you have a curtain that hangs lower, it will just need washing more often.
I agree, 1-2 inches off the floor is good.
My shower curtain hangs to about the middle of my tub base. I did this partially for the cleanliness reasons listed above but also because placing the rod higher really raised the ceiling an elongated the space in my not-so-big bathroom. Also, the simple but interesting vine pattern on my chosen curtain serves the same purpose as an accent wall if, like me, you are renting and not allowed to paint :)
Mine are 1-2 inches off the ground and they are staying there. However, Martha Stewart recommends the shorter length. Just saying...
In a claw foot tub, a floor-skimming curtain is really impractical.
Since the inside "floor" of the tub is 2 or 3 inches higher than the bathroom floor, a curtain that skims the floor of the room makes for a liner that overlaps the tub floor. This makes your standing space in the tub smaller, and it's easy to slip on the liner as you get into the shower.
we recently moved into an old brownstone in Jersey City with the original clawfoot tub. we LOVE the look of it, but are having a hard time figuring out a practical way to hang a shower curtain. we have the D shaped rod going all the way around with 3 liners to encompass the entire tub. we haven't put up a fancy outer curtain because we're not quite sure how to do it... any tips?
I have hideous yellow and green tubs so mine are as close to the floor as possible! I do make sure the floor is wiped clean and dry daily ; ) If I had a claw foot, I would definitely opt for the shorter curtain.
Re: Akay -- You could always hang a shorter liner inside the tub than the curtain outside of the tub. Also, if it's primarily used for bathing rather than showering, you don't really need to bother with the liner.
I hang my curtain shorter because of the Shower Curtain Effect -- when the curtain blows inward while the water is running.
When I moved in, the rods for my claw footer were mounted lowish, and the curtains pretty much engulfed me when the shower ran. I moved the whole thing about a foot higher on the wall to see if it would help, and now only the very bottom of the curtain billows inward.
Does anyone know where to purchase the shower curtain featured in the first picture? It's just what I've been looking for! Thanks
I agree on top height. It can't be so short that the water spills over the top for taller people and guests, but it can't be so high that no light gets inside the shower.
For the bottom height, I prefer 1" all around: window curtains, shower curtains, etc. It's enough that problems are hidden and moisture doesn't adversely affect it in a clean bathroom. 2" I also think is acceptable, but that's my upper limit.
My shower is on the long side and hangs a fraction of an inch above the floor but my white tub is pretty plain. Maybe if I had a fancy more expensive one I'd opt for the shorter version. I've never had an issue with mold because I also use a shower liner. As soon as mold develops on that liner I simply go to BBB and get a new one. Problem solved.
I like longer shower curtains. I feel like it hides the tub, and if your tub isn't the most amazing you can hide it with a gorgeous curtain.
Too short looks skimpy or cheap. It's like a dress - it shouldn't puddle on the floor, but it shouldn't awkwardly show your ankles either.
@paticleman - you can easily clean the shower curtain liner rather than buying a new one all the time. You can soak it in a hot tub for 30 minutes with some bleach, and agitate it a couple of times and things come right off without any elbow grease. You can also wash it in your washing maching with a towel or two, and again, everything comes clean without any elbow grease. Just kinda hate the thought of good plastic going in the landfill before it's time...
I have a cleaning lady, and when the agency came for the initial house inspection they asked me to use the longest curtain available, as it is most efficient in preventing water from dripping out and staining the floor tiles (we have hard water that stains white).
Due to the layout of my bathroom, a long curtain is impossible. My vanity cabinet is tight to the side of my tub so there was no way to fully close a long curtain. I ended up hemming my fabric shower curtain to just skim the top of the tub and I have a clear liner that runs long inside of the tub. This allows the curtain to close all of the way without water escaping and I find that I really like the look. It's very tailored and clean lookin - plus no dust bunnies or hair sticking to the bottom of the curtain!
I don't use a liner. The curtain is fabric, but it's not like water goes through it. It just gets wet. It's a deeper color so it doesn't show stains. When I feel like it, I just put it directly in the wash. I'm not sure how long it is... probably midway through the base of the tub.
@Gilliane, Restoration Hardware has extra-long shower curtains in nice linens and waffle weave. I just was hunting today for this! We are just now redoing our bathroom, and are having a shower curtain track put on the ceiling. We need an "L" shape, and i am sick of the pole in the middle of our regular rod (to hold it up at the bend) stopping the curtain. There's a light in the shower ceiling and a curtain at the far "open" end, so light is not an issue. I think it will be great to have that clean look of no rod, and hope to leave the curtain open most of the time, tho i completely get the mildew worry - at least in winter, it's not a problem with our dry New England houses.
Does anyone have any caveats they can share about my ceiling mount track idea? I haven't seen it around really, it's just a notion I had and found a supplier online. Is there anything i should be aware of before we take the plunge??
A shower curtain can be closed until it drys, avoiding mildew and then opened to get it away from the toilet.
I have a shower curtain that is much higher than normal, because I put the shower head at 84", and it come to a few inches from the floor. I hadn't put the rod in through the tiles - but I have extra tile, should I need to change something.
I prefer the look of a longer curtain, about 1 inch from the floor.
The exception would be for a really gorgeous bathtub, like a claw-foot or amazing minimal bath or something.
It must be an American thing to have a fabric shower curtain and a liner... in Europe (as far as I know) people just have one shower curtain, used inside the tub/shower while showering and hanging outside when not
My bathroom requires an extra-long shower curtain. I have a basic white with a slight waffling look and sheen. It's good for the clean spa look I like. But I would love to find more variety in modern extra-long curtains. I got mine from Amazon, and have seen a few at Bed Bath & Beyond and a couple other sites, but I would love any tips on where to find more. I know that I could have one custom made, but those are around $200 and for me the idea is being able to switch up when the fancy strikes me. Thanks!
I think the appropriate shower curtain length has a lot to do with the height of your ceiling and also the height of your bathtub. I have a loft with 14' ceilings, a very deep soaking tub, and tile bath surround that goes about 7.5 or so feet up the wall. Because my shower curtain rod is near the top of the tile surround, I have to have an 84" shower curtain. Otherwise, the curtain would only come down a few inches past the top of my tub. I know that's a confusing description, so I apologize.
But I have seen many people with similar configurations as mine who have short shower curtains and it's a horrible look! I think people don't realize that they have to go the extra step to get extra-long shower curtains. It's a must.
Longer curtains look best! But I dont think it should touch the floor either.
I think that the outer shower curtain should be 2 to 3 inches from the floor.
In response to other posts about the shower curtain liner, you can always hem it to fit. I bought a fabric liner from Bed, Bath and Beyond, then I hemmed it and re-installed the weighted bottom so that it was the right length and so my curtain could hang lower.
I think that shower curtains are of mid height so that they can't touch the bathroom floor. By this shower room is covered fully & curtain didn't get wet from the bottom.

dis is me. I make dis face when I git grossed owt.
Last one. This was taken on the day of my grandpa's funeral (the only funeral I've ever been to). My brother-in-law was the only person I'd talk to about it. He was so high that day he burnt his face on fire coming out of the grill. time flies. August 2009
No, I'm not high. I just suck at pictures.
I've posted this before but I just noticed that my former brother-in-law just put me on limited profile on facebook. He was the closest thing to a brother I ever had.
I don't think I ever posted this because I look kinda gross in it… fuck it. yes I'm fingering my bellybutton.

Franklin - Police are seeking a 30-year-old Waukesha man who led officers on a high-speed chase during the early morning hours of Christmas Day.
According to the Franklin police log:
Officers began pursuing a maroon 1996 Chrysler Concorde after the driver suddenly turned off his headlights and started speeding in the 7800 block of West Imperial Drive, shortly after 2:30 a.m. Dec. 25. The pursuit ended when officers lost sight of the vehicle in the 8200 block of West Winston Way.
At 3:14 a.m. police received word that the car was discovered in the back yard in the 8200 block of West Winston Way. The driver had apparently hit the curb at the dead end of Winston Way and continued driving onto a residential property. The car struck a window well and electric meter on the west side of a home before crashing into a brush pile in the back yard.
The driver, a 30-year-old Waukesha man, was not in the vehicle and officers were unable to find him.

Lured by easy money and the heat of fame, Dean sells out to an unstable rock band, stomping the dreams of so many who see him as their only hope. World-famous DJ "Delicious" must now tackle his own worst demon-himself-if he is ever to conquer his "handicap" and find true healing.

2010 Guide Analysis: The numerous paparazzi photos of Orlando Bloom dressed as a shirtless, full-body tattooed grungy rock band member in the film has taken much of the attention off 'Sympathy' itself which may surprise people when it premieres at Sundance in competition. Actor Mark Ruffalo makes his directing debut on the story penned and starring Christopher Thornton as the titular DJ, and though the story sounds somewhat like a Lifetime telemovie, this should pack more promise.

Lancaster County Man Charged with Killing Girlfriend and Unborn Child
A Lancaster County man is charged with killing his girlfriend and unborn child. Police say 22-year-old Matthew Becker shot and killed 21-year-old Allison Walsh, who was seven and a half months pregnant.
Reports first came in saying Becker was cleaning his gun when it went off, but District Attorney Craig Stedman says that's not what happened. He says the gun shot was meant to kill Walsh.
Walsh and Becker were living together at his parent's house on North Colebrook Road. Officers say the night this happened, Walsh had gotten into bed.
"Shortly after that, Mr. Becker went across to the other side of the room, picked up his newly purchased handgun, loaded it, cocked the slide back, walked towards her, pointed the weapon at her and shot her in the head," said Stedman.
Stedman says Becker didn't call 911, something he says that stands out in the case.
"911 was not actually called until Mr. Becker's parents came home. There was no one else home at the time," he said.
Stedman says emergency crews tried to save the unborn child and that she lived for about seven minutes. He says Becker had a motive.
"He was not happy about the pregnancy. He did not want to have the baby, that she was considering moving out and looking for a way to get out of the relationship and it's unfortunate that she wasn't able to do that," he said.
Stedman says Becker gave several versions of what happened that night. He says all of his stories have been inconsistent.
"There's nothing we can do to bring these lives back, but we're going to move forward and make sure that justice is done in this case," he said.

Rather unprecedented news out of Baton Rouge today -- the No. 1 preseason-ranked college football team has kicked its star player off the squad.
Tyrann Mathieu, better known as the "Honey Badger", has been permanently dismissed from the LSU football program.
There was no indication of the offense, and coach Les Miles refused to elaborate on the reasoning in his Friday press conference announcing Mathieu's dismissal.
Mathieu had been suspended one game last season for failing a drug test. But this is LSU -- even JaMarcus Russell played for this team without getting suspended.
"This is a very difficult day for our team," LSU coach Les Miles said in his press conference addressing that Tyrann Mathieu is kicked off the LSU team. "We lose a quality person, teammate and contributor to the program. However, with that being said, we have a standard that our players are held to and when that standard is not met, there are consequences."
Mathieu was awarded the Bednarik award as the defensive collegiate player of the year last season and was a runner-up for the Heisman Trophy.
Last season the "Honey Badger" scored two touchdowns on kick returns and two more on fumble returns. He had two interceptions and caused six fumbles.
LSU was named the No. 1 team in the preseason NCAA coaches poll. The committee may want a do-over on that one now.
Theoretically, Matheiu could sit out the year and re-join the LSU team -- but that won't happen. Miles said so much himself in Friday's press conference.
"I can't imagine he would be here and not want to transfer and go play football," Miles said at the press conference. "We will help him in every way we can."
Mathieu is a junior, and can only play this season if he transfers to a FCS school. Because of the dismissal, he cannot play this season for a Division I Football Bowl Subdivision college.
That's too bad, 'cause it would be awesome if the "Honey Badger" went and played for the Wisconsin Badgers.

Whitney Museum Presents: "Jeff Koons: A Retrospective" http://bit.ly/1lP2oBk
Our Jeff Koons retrospective opens a month from today!
We're excited to announce the first exhibitions to be presented in our new building, opening downtown in spring 2015.
The inaugural installation will be the largest display to date of the Whitney's permanent collection, utilizing all galleries in the building. Following this will be an array of exhibitions devoted to the work of Archibald Motley, Frank Stella, Laura Poitras, and David Wojnarowicz, as well as a show of hundreds of works gifted to the Whitney and the Centre Pompidou in Paris by Thea Westreich Wagner and Ethan Wagner.

Invited to assemble a "show within a show" for the 2014 Biennial, Julie Ault selected as points of entry works by David Wojnarowicz (1954–1992) and Martin Wong (1946–1999) from the Whitney's permanent collection, exhibiting them alongside artifacts from these artists' personal archives, held by the Downtown Collection at New York University's Fales Library.
Marvin J. Taylor is an archiving activist and the director of the Fales Library and Special Collections at New York University. Read a conversation between Taylor and Ault, which is part of Ault's contribution to the 2014 Biennial.

For the first Biennial, artists—among them Grant Wood, Arshile Gorky, and Georgia O'Keeffe—were invited to submit works of their own choosing, continuing the tradition of nonjuried exhibitions surveying new American art which began at the Whitney Studio Club in 1918.

Whitney Stories: Vincent Punch from Whitney Museum of American Art on Vimeo.
During the nearly fifteen years that Vincent Punch has been a guard at the Whitney, he has seen myriad exhibitions, snapped countless candid photos, and developed a distinct eye for spontaneous visual arrangements that take place every day in the galleries. In this Whitney Stories video, he shares his observations on working as a guard, and offers his unique perspective on the Whitney and its future.
The 2014 Biennial is on view through May 25. See it today at the Whitney, or everywhere else tomorrow.
Behind-the-scenes look at the planning of Jeff Koons: A Retrospective. The exhibition, which will fill nearly the entirety of the Whitney's Marcel Breuer building, opens June 27.
#AmericanArtIs an ongoing conversation. The 2014 Biennial is up for debate. Love it? Hate it? Have your say.
#AmericanArtIs UP FOR DEBATE. The 2014 Biennial is on view now. See it today and tell us what you think.
Putting the finishing touches on the 2014 Biennial. The exhibition opens Friday!
With film, it's hard to locate the artwork: Is it the projected image? The projection beam? The room in which it's being projected? It's a constellation of things rather than a singular object. I think that's a metaphor for how a lot of artists working in a broad range of media function now.
— Stuart Comer, one of the three curators of the 2014 Biennial. In the second installment of a three-part Q&A in Whitney Stories, Comer, Michelle Grabner, and Anthony Elms discuss their curatorial approaches as each organizes a floor of the exhibition.
The 2014 Biennial catalogue is now available! Pick one up at the Museum Shop.

Ooma has been sending me emails, that the Ooma hub will have no future development. An upgrade to the Telo is available for just $99. Accepting a Telo requires accepting current Ooma terms of service.The email contains the following

But don't wait, this offer won't last forever!
Thanks for the news!While it is understandable that Ooma will freeze development on the hub, the fact that they will limit the customer support seems to be in bad faith.This is a poor decision by the company....
Clearly the light has dawned on them that their original business model is unsustainable, and further that those still working under that model are a net loss to them. Not at all surprising and worth riding it out as long as they let you. Hopefully they'll start having a positive cash flow soon and can continue long term.
I hadn't realized development on the Hub was still ongoing, but I don't think anyone in their right mind would spend $100 for the privilege of reduced service (no CNAM) and monthly fees.They just announced a business product targeted towards small businesses. I hope that brings in some good cashflow for them to sustain the Hub users.
I just received the notification yesterday.As for support, the Hub has been around long enough that any serious bugs will have been worked out of it by now (I can't even remember the last time that I needed to contact the company regarding any Hub problems). If the Ooma network itself is down, I would expect them to respond and fix it, regardless of whether I am using a Hub or a Telo.Just to cover myself (in case the company should do a Sunrocket and close up suddenly), I found a Polycom IP 331 phone in a thrift shop the other day for almost nothing and I am looking at my options to set it up for a free (or a very low-cost) plan as a backup VOIP solution. From what I have read, this model is not as full-featured as more expensive Polycom IP phones, but it should be "good enough".
Clearly the light has dawned on them that their original business model is unsustainable, and further that those still working under that model are a net loss to them. Not at all surprising and worth riding it out as long as they let you. Hopefully they'll start having a positive cash flow soon and can continue long term.
It's not practical for a company to provide endless support for a product. The Hub is old and becoming outdated. It cost any company a lot of money to support their older technology. Like every tech product, sometimes you have to move on.FYI - I use Google Voice in connection with my Telo. My number was ported to Google and the Telo integrated with the GV service.Using GV only, as in no Ooma, here is what I noticed. The audio quality is horrible.But when I use GV to just forward the calls to Ooma, it works fine with both incoming and outgoing.Google needs to work on the quality of the actual telephony service. But as a forwarding service and a voicemail system it seems to work fine. The transcription service is horrible. It rarely transcribes accurately.--Atheists swear there is no Heaven, but pray there isn't a Hell.
It's not practical for a company to provide endless support for a product.
Free for life is a sort of ambiguous statement. Who's life? Your life? The life of the box? Or its supported life?So in this case, it appears its a little of free for its supported life and free for the product life. It is not going to be actively supported, but as long as it works, it will be able to make and receive calls.Seems to me Ooma is living up to their commitment.I dunno know, I have two Ooma Telos right now and both have premium service. It has an incredible amount of services built-in for less than $14 a month per Telo.It's worth it for me. One of the reasons I never went with Ooma to begin with (pre-telo days) is because I did not believe that it was a viable business model with only selling a box with no monthly fee.Now that they are charging a very modest fee, it gave me confidence to move forward.One Telo has the number ported to that account and the other Telo is using Google Voice integration.Very happy with Ooma. Especially like the community and personal blacklist features.--Atheists swear there is no Heaven, but pray there isn't a Hell.
I am not surprised. They will always need a way to "upgrade" their platform to stay in business. With company charging next to nothing for service "kinda like MJ", they have to continue fighting to gain customers and or inject cashflow by churning equipment.I saw it coming, and MJ is next. I can smell MJ will be coming out with a new "upgraded" device that you'll need to pay $50 for.
No different than anything else in technology. Computer equipment has a life of 3 to 5 years. If you don't upgrade, computer manufacturers jack up maintenance fees to get you to upgrade. EMC wants it at 3 years, IBM and HP are OK up to 5.Frankly as far as Ooma goes. I don't mind paying for Premium, it's a good deal and it's cheap. I only paid $99 for the Telo on a Woot deal. Since I was paying $33 a month for service from TWC, I'm ahead the first year.Ooma works well and feature rich. It's worth it.--Atheists swear there is no Heaven, but pray there isn't a Hell.

Ooma indeed stepped in it....... with the "lifetime" thing. It's not a sustainable business model. I have an Antivirus vendor that at one time offered that....... 99$ lifetime per computer. They HAVE honored that, but still they wised up after six months. The new model is X for the first computer, Y for each additional, renew yearly.
You cannot get money from a company without a lot of money. Lawyers sue Ooma, Lawyers win, Ooma files bankruptcy, Lawyers lose all the money they spent, Ooma resurfaces with zero debt and new business model. The Lawyers (sharks) will only feed where there is a meal. No meal at Ooma.--Atheists swear there is no Heaven, but pray there isn't a Hell.

In my opinion, the move by Citic is a reaction to what that company worries is the beginning of a wave of defaults that could overwhelm the trust (and security company) sector's ability to make good investor losses out of the pockets of trust companies.
This will open up a legal can of worms that China's courts and financial regulators are unprepared to deal with. The courts will have to decide if trusts were sold with any implicit guarantee. And whether trust companies can be sued in the event of a default by a borrower. And how much legal responsibility flows back to the bank through affiliated trust companies and through investments that the bank sold to the trust company. (Complicating all this will be the clout of the politically connected wealthy who have bought wealth-management products.)
The big question is what regulators will do with all these off-balance-sheet assets. If banks were required to put them back on consolidated balance sheets, a rise in defaults could damage bank capital ratios just when China's banks are trying to meet new international capital requirements and to make further inroads into global financial markets. Anything that required Chinese banks to buttress their capital requirements would reduce the money supply just when China was trying to increase the money supply to stimulate the economy.
The potential cost
On the precedent of past financial crises, and especially the Asian currency crisis of 1997, I think the odds are very low that Beijing will do anything that raises the bad-loan ratio at China's banks or that might force them to raise significant capital at this point in China's economic recovery. In the aftermath of the Asian currency crisis, Beijing's financial regulators buried massive bad loans by creating new financial companies that bought the bad debt of China's banks and took it off the banks' balance sheets. Then, through complex transactions, these new financial entities buried that bad debt.
That effort wasn't cost-free. China's growth rate for gross domestic product dropped from 9.3% in 1997, before the crisis hit the country's financial system, to 7.8% in 1998 to 7.6% in 1999 before rebounding to 8.4% in 2000.
This time, China is starting from a weaker economic position -- China's growth rate bottomed at an annual 7.4% rate in the third quarter of 2012 -- in a world where developed economies are still digging out from a severe financial crisis and the subsequent Great Recession. And currently, China has much bigger ambitions for its banks on the global financial stage and for the global role of its currency. Those ambitions would be damaged by an Asian currency style crisis -- and fix.
I don't see a Chinese banking crisis crashing China's economy in 2013 any more than it did in 1997. But it certainly wouldn't be good for the share price of China's bank stocks or for the important real estate and financial sectors in China's stock markets. And even if it knocked a percentage point or two off China's economic growth, that's growth that the global economy sorely needs.
I'd watch carefully to see how China's banking crisis develops and how serious it might become.
In doing that observing, I'd pay attention to bad-loan ratios at China's banks -- the official reported rate of 2% or less is clearly understated, so I'd pay more attention to whether it starts to rise than to its absolute number. I'd pay even more attention to companies in China's non-bank financial sector such as Citic Securities and Haitong Securities -- and their related trust companies -- to see how much of the problem they recognize and how they cope with it.
And finally I'd look at moves by the People's Bank to see if China's central bank is getting nervous about bank reserve requirements. If the People's Bank should start to raise reserve requirements even while China's efforts to increase economic growth are unfurling, then I think we've got signs that the banking crisis is bad enough to worry Beijing.

"To see the crisis, you have to look past the official balance sheets of China's banks to the gray areas of China's financial industry,..."
Don't we have exactly the same problem in the U.S. shadow banking system? (aka off-the-books derivatives and swaps). The only difference is the size of ours isat least 100 times bigger.
The biggest issue is that the numbers provided have been produced and approved by the PRC as they see fit. They own the banks and the investment firms (owned/managed by Party members families), can manipulate anything including the published GDP or inflation/unemployment rates.
Speaking from experience, there is no real transparency or accountability in China, so take the values given with a grain of salt (or make up your own number like they do).
Until the banking regulators can suspend the offshore banking practices in Cayman Islands,Channel Islands,Cyprus,Dubai,Bermuda and
Cuba,it will be impossible to either regulate or control any lending practices.
Insurance companies,shipping companies,multinational corporations,and individuals can maintain the illusion of solvency because their records are invisible,and unattainable under present accounting principles.
First,the Chinese government is trying to stem the flow of cash and assets into Macau,a fruitless task since few if any Chinese leaders will admit there nation has an enormous criminal society.
Secondly,Chinese and many Italians,Spaniards,Portuguese,Indians,Middle Easterners,Africans,and South Americans do not believe in a well-regulated and honest tax system.They believe their money is controlled by their extended family leadership,and should not be open to the inquisitive eyes of revenue agents.
Lastly, the assets held by various offshore banks are the source of problems for almost every divorce attorney in the world.If you examine the statistics around the globe you can see a correlation between divorce settlements,child support,and violence.Individuals think their children can be kidnapped,and definitely believe their assets can be stolen by unworthy spoutse.

Brilliant! What we need to do is borrow $20T more, create a new country "Defaultstan", pass it our national debt, and then declare them responsible. Problem solved

- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup half-and-half

Until his ninth year the boy about whom this story is written lived in a house which looked upon the square of a county town. The house had once formed part of a large religious building, and the boy's bedroom had a high groined roof, and on the capstone an angel carved, with outspread wings. Every night the boy wound up his prayers with this verse which his grandmother had taught him:
"Matthew, Mark,
Luke, and John,
Bless the bed that I lie on.
Four corners to my bed,
Four angels round my head;
One to watch, one to pray,
Two to bear my soul away."
Then he would look up to the angel and say: "Only Luke is with me." His head was full of queer texts and beliefs. He supposed the three other angels to be always waiting in the next room, ready to bear away the soul of his grandmother (who was bed-ridden), and that he had Luke for an angel because he was called Theophilus, after the friend for whom St. Luke had written his Gospel and the Acts of the Holy Apostles. His name in full was Theophilus John Raymond, but people called him Taffy.

Over the years, UFC president Dana White, has made it known of his disdain for Bellator, and specifically Bjorn Rebney's business tactics. When the UFC was attempting to sign Eddie Alvarez to a very lucrative offer, Bellator's ludicrous matching clause caused Alvarez to sit out a year before accepting a Bellator contract.
After Eddie Alvarez defeated Michael Chandler in their epic rematch, Dana White took to twitter to express his feelings about Rebney's top dog losing.
I'm hearing Djork oops Bjork got served a big fat plate of Karma tonight Congrats Eddie!!
— Dana White (@danawhite) November 3, 2013
Dana's tweet seemed even more poignant after this ZombieProphet gif of Bjorn Rebney being upset over the decision went viral.
Today it was announced that Bellator 106 was the company's most watch event in their history with 1.1 million viewers. Rebney, armed with the news of the event's success, decided to take a jab back at Dana White:
@danawhite If Fight of the Year & 10 times better ratings than you did on your last televised show is Karma, bring me another plate.
— Bjorn Rebney (@BjornRebney) November 5, 2013
Let's hope this is just the beginning of the war of words between both men.

Recent editorials from Florida newspapers:
Jan. 6
The Tallahassee Democrat on freeze warning:
Yes, it's that cold, so prepare yourself, your neighbor and your pets for bone chilling weather this morning and Wednesday, when temperatures are expected to be in the low 20s, but actually feel a lot colder with the wind-chill factor. Temperatures could reach the single digits in some parts of our area this morning, with temperatures not expected to rise above 35 degrees during the day.
Be prepared for a repeat on Wednesday morning.
This is the time of the year when we can expect to experience chilly mornings. Some of you may remember the record-breaking 18-degree temperatures in January 2012. Parents of children returning to school from the winter break this morning need to make sure those children are bundled up and secure with layers of clothing, especially those children who will be out waiting at bus stops when some of the coldest temperatures are evident.
Another critical group is the city's homeless population. City and county officials, along with members of various faith-based communities have worked diligently and quickly to ensure that the temporary cold night shelter is open tonight and Wednesday night. This community is served well by the congregation of Jacob Chapel Baptist Church, 2333 Lake Bradford Road, where members have opened their doors to address this important community need. The temporary shelter is open to men, who will be bused from The Shelter downtown to the church at 9 p.m. If you know of someone in need, make sure they are pre-registered at The Shelter by 6:45 p.m. Women and families with children will be allowed to stay at The Shelter.
It's also important to check on seniors in your neighborhood, as they are among the most vulnerable and possibly in need of blankets, clothing and emergency services.
Stay safe, protected and prepared.

The Gainesville (Fla.) Sun on throwing bombs:
If only U.S. Rep. Ted Yoho put as much energy into writing bills with a realistic shot at becoming law as he did crafting clever acronyms.
Yoho, R-Gainesville, last month introduced two measures related to the Affordable Care Act. Not surprisingly, they're more about firing up his tea-party base than seriously addressing the country's challenges involving health care coverage and costs.
The Nullifying the Unconstitutional Mandate By Evaluating Results, or NUMBER, Act would repeal the Affordable Care Act if the Obama administration fails to meet its goal of 7 million people being enrolled in health-care exchanges by March 31.
The Government Lacks Insight To Choose Health, or GLITCH, Act would implement a 5 percent salary cut for Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius for each month that the heathcare.gov website isn't fully functional.
We're all for holding Sebelius or another administration official accountable for the disastrous rollout of the website. In fact, Yoho had a strong case in joining 33 other House Republicans in calling for Sebelius' resignation.
But cutting her pay is politics at its most petty.
Yoho's first bill is similarly silly. It's not as if he hopes the measure will create pressure that leads to the enrollment goals being met. Instead, he's rooting for the Affordable Care Act's failure without offering any alternative that covers millions of uninsured Americans.
While we don't expect Yoho to become a cheerleader for the Affordable Care Act any time soon, he should lay off legislation that lacks even a remote shot of becoming law. Throwing bombs at the president's signature achievement may please the tea party, but it does nothing to improve the lives of Yoho's constituents.

The News-Journal, Daytona Beach, Fla., on state surplus should be used to help WORC:
With the state government's surplus fattening, it's time for legislators to examine their priorities for that extra cash.
There is plenty of talk of a $400 million fee cut for motorists, and that's a laudable goal. But discussion about any surplus should also include how it might be used to help the mentally disabled in the Sunshine State.
Last week, Work Orientation Rehabilitation Center Inc. (WORC) closed its doors in Bunnell due to a lack of funding. With the closing, Flagler County lost a vital service for the mentally disabled and their families.
The vehicle registration fee cut that Gov. Rick Scott wants would give back $25 to each motorist. But aid to the mentally disabled would have a much bigger payoff. And the need is major.
That the Bunnell center is being forced to consolidate with the Volusia County office just adds a degree of difficulty to the families of citizens with developmental disabilities in Flagler County. If people cannot find care for their mentally disabled adult sons or daughters, then a member of the household often has to drop out of the workforce to care for that family member. That has very real costs to both the household and the community.
It is for this reason we taxpayers pay a portion of our taxes to help pay for social programs that WORC and similar agencies provide. These programs assist the most vulnerable in our communities. The programs enable other members of households containing mentally disabled adults to continue working themselves, so the funding pays off in more than one way.
No doubt, the recession, followed by years of weak recovery, have been tough on all Floridians, and on state coffers as well. The state Legislature and former Gov. Charlie Crist raised the auto registration fees in 2009 to help balance the budget. Giving some of that increase back to motorists is a worthy idea to consider.
But there are other vital areas of the budget, ones involving social-service agencies, to consider as well.
It seems likely that 2014 will be a year in which Florida sees solid growth in the private sector and, as a result tax coffers should see a surplus. Some estimates have pegged the surplus to be as much as $1.2 billion.
There's nothing wrong with Scott's goal to give some of that surplus back to citizens in the form of reduced vehicle registration fees.
But part of the surplus should also be earmarked to strengthen services for people in the state who have developmental disabilities, mental illness or addiction struggles.
