The Yamaha FZS1000 Fazer is a streetbike with an R1 engine – it could have been a compact brute of a machine with fearsome manners and ability to waste sports bikes below 80mph. But it's actually a big softie with plenty of punch. Arguably the ultimate all round bike – a Yamaha FZS1000 Fazer does the lot and does it ...

As Suzuki's much anticipated and long overdue early 1990s CBR600 rival, the Suzuki RF600R nearly came up trumps. Nearly, but not quite. The Suzuki RF600R's revvy engine, fine handling and roomy comfort are plusses. Frankly weird styling and brittle build are downsides. Still; good value though…

Microsoft reported Q2 earnings last night, with overall ad revenue up, mostly from display ads and a "modest increase" in search.
"Advertising revenue grew 20 percent over the quarter and we're happy with that," said Chris Liddell, Microsoft's CFO. "On the search side, we lost market share, and we're clearly not happy with that."
Increasing search queries contributed to search revenue growth on a year-over-year basis for the first time since the transition from Yahoo's paid search ads to AdCenter in the U.S. last year. But Microsoft is scaling back its revenue forecast from search this year, estimating revenue growth in the online services business between 3% and 8% for the year and 4% to 10% this quarter.
According to comScore's December numbers, Microsoft had a 10.5% share of searches last month -- down from just over 14% at the end of 2005.

A Bible For The 21st Century Combining Traditional And Newly Discovered Texts
Brief Description:
A provocative new edition of the New Testament that includes ten more recently found texts, selected by a council of scholars and spiritual leaders, alongside the classic books, with introductions and contextual background from Hal Taussig.
HMH 2013 603 PP. Cloth
(out of stock but can be backordered)
It is time for a new New Testament.
Over the past century, numerous lost scriptures have been discovered, authenticated, translated, debated, celebrated. Many of these documents were as important to shaping early-Christian communities and beliefs as what we have come to call the New Testament; these were not the work of shunned sects or rebel apostles, not alternative histories or doctrines, but part of the vibrant conversations that sparked the rise of Christianity. Yet these scriptures are rarely read in contemporary churches; they are discussed only by scholars or within the context of being "gnostic "gospels. Why should these books be set aside? Why should they continue to be lost to most of us? And don't we have a great deal to gain by placing them back into contact with the twenty-seven books of the traditional New Testament - by hearing, finally, the full range of voices that formed the early chorus of Christians?
To create this "New New Testament," Hal Taussig called together a council of scholars and spiritual leaders to discuss and reconsider which books belong in the New Testament. They talked about these recently found documents, the lessons therein, and how they inform the previously bound books. They voted on which should be added, choosing ten new books to include in "A New New Testament." Reading the traditional scriptures alongside these new texts--the Gospel of Luke with the Gospel of Mary, Paul's letters with The Letter of Peter to Philip, The Revelation to John with The Secret Revelation to John--offers the exciting possibility of understanding both the new and the old better. This new reading, and the accompanying commentary in this volume, promises to reinvigorate a centuries-old conversation and to bring new relevance to a dynamic tradition.

Swedish Nursery Rhyme – Rida Rida Ranka
Posted on 06. Feb, 2013 by Marcus Cederström in Culture
As I've written before, I sometimes do fieldwork in the United States, interviewing and talking with Scandinavian Americans. It's a great experience and I get a chance to meet a lot of wonderful people and hear some amazing stories. One thing that has popped up a couple of times is an old nursery rhyme that a lot of people remember from their childhood. In fact, I remember it from mine also!
It's called Rida Rida Ranka and has quite a few different variations. Rida Rida Ranka means to ride on a rocking horse or to ride on someone's knees. Usually this little rhyme is said while bouncing a child on one's knees. I've included a couple of versions below:
Rida rida Ranka
hästen heter Blanka
Vart ska vi rida?
Till en liten piga
Vad kan hon heta?
Jungfru Margareta
den tjocka och den feta
Here is a very rough translation, minus the rhyming.
Ride, ride a rocking horse
The horse's name is Blanka.
Where shall we ride?
To a little girl.
What is her name?
The Virgin Margareta
The chubby and the fat one
Rida, rida ranka,
hästen heter Blanka.
Liten riddare så rar
ännu inga sporrar har.
När han dem har vunnit,
barndomsro försvunnit.
And again, a very rough translation:
Ride, ride a rocking horse
The horse's name is Blanka.
Cute little knight
You have no spurs yet.
When you have won them
Your childhood will disappear
I've also included a really great YouTube clip with the nursery rhyme:
For a few more versions, check out Rida rida ranka. Enjoy!
4 Responses to "Swedish Nursery Rhyme – Rida Rida Ranka"
Your blog about Rida rida ranka was sent to me by me friend who's 100%Swedish. I'm 50% Swedish and 50% Norwegian. I remember my mother reciting the poem to me when I was young. I think the version she said was the first one. I can't speak Swedish. She could. What I remember bestis the rhythm of the words
I grew up in Western Wisconsin and am 65.
Thanks for the good memory.
Very sweet! We have this type of song in Russia, too. Interesting how many nationalities ride their children on knees singing?)

Help! 1970's brick fireplace
January 26, 2013 in Design Dilemma
Check this out for a 1970's brick fireplace. Husband loves it, I hate it. Any ideas?
Denice Shuty
Cover the 70's brick with a lighter colored veneer stone. Also, paint the ceiling beams to match the ceiling color, but use a satin finish for a subtle contrast. It will uplift the whole room.

I would not hesitate to paint your brick fireplace. We had a similar one built in the 50s in our last home, it did not look good with our furniture. We painted it in a soft pale blue colour to match the furnishings it looked really good.
If I were you I would start off with a ligh soft colour to see if you like it. It will transform and lighten your room.

It does appear very dark and covering it with stone veneer would update it dramatically. The other thing is that you have very small decorative items on it. They should be much larger. Perhaps a large print centered on the fireplace. Perhaps some floating shelves with art.
I would modernize it by removing the mantel, painting the brick a dark walnut brown, painting the ceiling beams two shades darker than the ceiling. In my opinion, painting the brick a light color will work against the architecture of the room.

I vote for cladding with a large format tile, it will really give it an updated look. If buget is a concern, my second vote is for painting the tile - the mantle could stay or go.

You may not believe me, but this fireplace at my sister's house looked much like yours when it started. 70s - very dark brick, small mantle, hearth all along bottom with bookshelf on the left. They removed the hearth and the bookshelves and covered the existing brick with wood and moulding for the bead board effect. They used thin-bricks to cover the brick around fireplace and custom made the cherry mantle.
For your fireplace, I dont see any reason why you couldnt drywall over existing brick. That way you could define a smaller fireplace. Thin-brick over the hearth and the fireplace and add a mantle with legs that you like.

Here are some simple easy quick fixes. The scale of the mirror and lamps is wrong. The mirror should be twice its current height. Maybe replace the lamps on either side with topiaries about 2/3 the height of the mirror. The clock to the left of the mantel is too small for the space so for now I would suggest just removing it. A little facelift :)

Could you be a little more specific about the love hate relationship, is it the brick, the layout, or the fireplace itself. Many options depending on your needs.

HI -- The fireplace is good everything else is not.Where the TV is on the right - is that wainscotting ?? If it is -I would remove that and paint the wall behind the TV a darker color out of the brick colors.That should make that wall look more unified . Add a string of track lighting behind the beam (the fireplace side ) that should help with the darkness. Your decor items are too small . Find a bigger or fancy-er clock (retro starburst style) for the left side . Then have a big round mirror or a painting almost resting on the mantel then one interesting pottery vase (maybe with a twisty twig ) a little off from center in front of the mirror/painting. And that's all it really needs.

Every day should be Earth Day.
That said, the official Earth Day celebration takes place once a year, an occasion when over a billion people in 190 countries take action, whether in the form of planting trees, cleaning up their communities, or doing anything else that says "I love you" to the environment.
This time of year, corporate philanthropy leaders often look for ways to shine a spotlight on their companies' efforts at greening the planet. Dayton Hudson Corporation, now better known as Target, got the ball rolling on this front by giving out free trees to its customers on the very first Earth Day in 1970. Ever since, business leaders have increasingly fired up their entire organizations in creative ways to demonstrate concern for Mother Earth.

As evolving technologies keep us hooked to new and updated gadgets, and Americans now own (according to the Environmental Protection Agency) an estimated three billion electronic products, one inconvenient question lurks constantly in the shadows:What are we supposed to do with all of our old gizmos? While responsible businesses and consumers want to recycle their outdated technology equipment - and often think they are - the reality of the electronics recycling business is an eco-horror show. Rife with misperception and abuse, the e-waste industry is notorious for cashing in on the good intentions of those who want to do right by Mother Earth and then delivering nothing but more problems for old mom.
This post was featured in Forbes.com.
Studies show that engaged employees generate an average of between a quarter to a third more profits for their companies. Fantastic, right? But here's the question: do you think that most of your employees are engaged?
If you answered yes, chances are you're dead wrong. According to one eye-opening study, fewer than a third of all employees can be classified as actively engaged at work. Put another way, some industry statistics show that 66% of employees are disengaged and 60% are actively looking for work.
This rampant disengagement or semi-engagement hits where it hurts - your bottom line. As HR.com writer David Bator put it, since you pay a disengaged employee 100% of their salary for 50% effort, if we assume that the average salary of an employee in a 500 person organization is $50,000, then the annual cost of disengagement for that company is over $8M, or $34,200 per day.

Iowa-American Water is asking the Iowa Utilities Board for a rate increase.
Since the last rate increase in 2011, Iowa-American says it will have invested approximately $26 million into the Clinton and Quad City areas by the end of 2013. But they say, more improvement is needed.
Iowa-American says it is asking the IUB for an increase in annual revenues of approximately $6,440,000 or 18%.
The proposed effective date is set for May 29, 2013, although the company is planning on establishing an interim rate, to be collected subject to refund, effective May 10, 2013.
As part of the process, the IUB will hold two customer comment meetings. Additional meetings may be scheduled as public interest warrants.
The meeting is scheduled for Monday June 3, 2013 at 5:30 p.m. at Scott Community College in Bettendorf, Iowa.
The second is set for Tuesday, June 4, 2013 at 5:30 p.m. at the Clinton Moose Lodge in Clinton, Iowa.

Can I get into Caltech or MIT?
by erikreinhart

Mar9-11, 11:18 PM
What I think is a better question to figure out if you'd love or hate MIT is the question "are you bored?"
If you are aceing all of your classes, and you hate the fact that you are aceing the classes, and you'd really prefer somewhere that you end up doing badly if it means learning something new, then MIT will work. If not (and there is no shame in saying that you would prefer to keep aceing your classes), then it won't.
Mar9-11, 11:24 PM
Personally, I'd like to see MIT expand to take in 10,000 or 1 million students rather than the 1000 that get admitted now, but the Cambridge campus is too small. People wonder why MIT puts all of its classes online, and this is why. It's so that you don't have to go through a stupid committee to take 18.01.
If you have better information that contradicts what I'm saying here, let me know.
Mar10-11, 04:21 PM
Hey there.
I do not go to MIT, but I know some people who do go to MIT and the kids who go there are certainly brilliant and above par, but grades is tangential to their acceptance. You can win every competition have a 5.0 on a 4.0 unweighted scale, get perfect scores on all your SATs, but if you don't express a passion you will have trouble getting in... Well that might be an exaggeration for this case. However, the most important thing is portraying in your essays that you DO stuff... What little projects have you done? Did you randomly decide to make a cross bow one day? Are you working in a lab? How did you get into Half-Life 2 mapping? How did that change over time?
In short, be interesting and it will increase your choices exponentially. Don't be a cookie cutter student, dont write the essay 75% of high school students write, write about something you are passionate about, write it well and enforce that you are interesting. Also, you might be tempted to write about the struggles of IB or your academic program... Try to keep it as personal as possible, this is about you, not every IB/AP student.
Still everyones chances are slim and it is a luck of the draw situation regardless of how smart you are.
Mar10-11, 08:37 PM
Twofish-Quant, have you had a chance to look at a place like college confidential to see what the typical MIT/Caltech/HYP applicant looks like these days? It is pretty much guaranteed he/she has a very high (3.9+) GPA along with a 2200-2300+ SAT score. Even then, these schools reject plenty of perfect scorers every year. Times have changed drastically over the past few years. MIT now admits just under 10% of applicants, which has dropped significantly from what it was even 10 years ago. The game has gotten tougher and tougher.
I have stats that should put me in the "top 1%" of test takers and I go to a fantastic high school, but I didn't even bother applying to the top ivies / MIT. The only people I know who got in had rather rediculous GPAs/SATs/extracurriculars. Why would they pass on the guy with a 4.0 / 2400 / great extracurriculers for someone with a 3.8 / 2100 / ok extracurriculars...
They draw the bar somewhere, and the bar keeps rising, although it probably has "topped out." They don't just admit the guy with worse scores because he adds "diversity." Unless he brings someone else outstanding, he won't get admitted.
Mar10-11, 09:05 PM
Can anyone provide evidence that the average student would get a better education at one of these "top tier" colleges verses state?
Besides lack of certain research opportunities I'm not seeing what puts these colleges above others in terms of educational quality.

twofish, i may have less information than you about MIT admissions. I have friends on the faculty there but did not go there myself, and my opinions are based on my own experiences elsewhere. On that basis i thought it unlikely that a student with 3's on his AP exams would either find admission or success at MIT. Do you have other information? E.g. did you gain admission to MIT with such scores?
I gather that you found MIT very challenging but also very fulfilling. In my estimation that means you did not find it "overwhelming", at least by my interpretation of that word. In my experience although there are tenacious people like yourself who respond well to conditions they find almost overwhelming at first, more are not. Thus as an advisor for over 30 years, I have learned to be conservative with my advice to the typical student. Still I am always happy to learn of cases like your own where a student rises above his initial impression.
I am especially happy to know that you took away from your experience at MIT an inspiration of what a top school can offer. I take that as a compliment to your stamina and ability, and also to the skill of the professors there.

to skrew, i feel it is unwise for an average student to go to a top tier school, since he/she is unlikely to arrive there with the same advantages as the students coming from elite schools. every talented student can eventually achieve outstanding success, but more easily if he or she is trained at a rate commensurate with their background. in the end it does not matter whether a student takes 10 or 20 years years to flower, as success at 30 or 40 years of age is essentially the same.
My opinions are of course not necessarily correct, but they are my best assessment, after a long career of advisement, teaching, and research.

Mar11-11, 01:36 AM
Also MIT is considerably more supportive in some ways than your average state public university. If you go to your typical state school and you fail freshman physics, then you are out of the game, and state schools often have weed out classes to get rid of students.
Since MIT has already done the weed out at the admissions level, there's no pressure to get rid of students, so if you fail freshman physics, then it's not recorded on your transcript, and you have a second bite of the apple.
I hate easy. I get bored by easy. I want hard.
Mar11-11, 02:31 AM
Before they toss you into the ocean, they want to make sure that you won't drown. If you randomly decide to make a cross bow, then when everything goes totally bad freshman year (and this happens to everyone), you go out with your friends and build a trebuchet that shoots watermelons toward East Campus.

When I was thinking about what university to go to, I went to a presentation by a dean at the University of Florida in which he was talking about the honors program. I mentioned that I wanted to study both physics and writing, and he thought I was joking. I crossed UF off my list.
a) I never had a multiple choice test at MIT. Every test that I ever took was hand graded with a lot of partial credit and notes explaining what I did wrong. What this means is that when you have the tests for intro calculus graded you have the entire math department in a room grading tests.
b) No weed out classes and large curves. Most classes in physics were A/B centered, which meant that you were likely to end up with a decent grade if you did the work.
c) Students were on the major faculty committees and had real input into how the university was run.
d) Meeting people that were pretty serious about physics and math
e) e-mail and internet access. That isn't a big thing in 2011, but I went to MIT in 1987, when it was a really original idea to give students e-mail and internet access. I think I was one of the first people in the world to use this new gizmo called the WWW in 1991.
The thing about these things is that none of them are magic, and you could replicate it without too much trouble outside of MIT. Also everything that you find at MIT will likely find its way to the rest of the world, but it's cool to see something five years before everyone else does.

I personally go to Boston University, which is right across the river (hence why I know my fair share of MIT kids). At first it seemed daunting to me, since I am in engineering, to have them so close. In the end I feel pretty luck because I can benefit from a lot of the things MIT does... For example, most guest lectures, the awesome electronic music concerts, EC, hackathons, knowing awesome people...
Also, a lot of these things called hackerspaces are showing up around different schools. BU has one called BUILDS, which focuses on Engineering and Comp Sci. We have a lot of real world electronics projects, as well as, code projects. Brown has one that is pretty good, so does North Eastern... I don't know about Harvard or Boston College... Hackerspaces are a great way to bring a certain aspect of MIT "lets just build it" attitude to any other school, especially if the club gets college funding.
One warning about MIT, from my observations: it has a very strong and unique culture, which is not always what you might think from the "type of kid" that would go to MIT. If you get accepted, you really need to inspect dorm cultures and make sure you will enjoy the culture there, because if you don't you will be miserable.

twofish, you sound as if you had a really wonderful time at MIT and still are having one. I am still not inclined to advise many students to follow your lead, unless their record clearly indicates excellence. As a college professor since 1970, giving academic advice has been part of my job, and of course it is not easy to do it well. I started out being more optimistic about the chances for success of most students I advised, based on the experience of a few people like yourself in bucking the odds. I found out that such cases are rather unusual, and most people tend to have unsuccessful experiences when they overextend themselves.
Perhaps all those years of reality checks have made me less suitable as an adviser for very gifted and hard working people. I am glad to have your spirited and enthusiastic advice here, but it may not serve everyone well who is looking for a place to flourish.
E.g. When my son was applying, Stanford sent out FAQ's for applicants that included the question: "should I take harder classes even if it means I get some B's, or is it better for my chances of acceptance to have all A's?". The answer of course was: "Successful applicants to Stanford tend to take harder classes AND get all A's." It was my impression that this is still the attitude of admissions offices at very selective schools like MIT.
I went to Harvard in 1960, and saw many young people there become disillusioned and unhappy because they had hoped to be stars as they were in high school, and found themselves unable to shine in that environment. The courses in physics in those days were certainly not A/B centered, and the attrition rate in the elite honors math classes was over 50% per semester. Most of those who fell by the wayside did not continue in their originally chosen field.
On the other hand since then I have known more people who went to schools like Rice, or Haverford, or Grinnell or Swarthmore, and became scientific stars later. The people who went to the wrong place for them at the wrong time in their careers, just left the field. I often see the attitude expressed here by young people that if they could just get into the most prestigious school, then all would be well. This is not my experience. I definitely believe it is not who you know but what you can do that matters, and you usually develop that ability with good teaching, not just being thrown into the water. Of course there are remarkable exceptions, but they are just that, exceptions.
I have also coached high school students who wanted to enter top tier schools, in several variable calculus, Galois theory, number theory, fractal geometry, and topology. Some of them have been accepted to MIT, Harvard, and Chicago, and took very challenging classes at those schools, of which they were very proud. But I am not sure those classes helped their training as much as their egos. None of those students became scientists. Some who went to somewhat less famous schools however are today active and productive mathematicians. I conclude that a person whose main desire is to do mathematics is more likely to become a mathematician than someone whose main desire is to get into MIT or Harvard.
Still I applaud your success and your desire to encourage people to shoot for the stars.

I can say that there is a minimum level of math skill and if you don't meet that minimum level, it's a bad idea for you to go because you won't be able to keep up with the work. That minimum level is probably something like 650 on the SAT. You also need to do decent on the standard college prep course.
However, the number of people that meet that minimum level of math skill is rather high (and pretty much everyone on the list). If you've taken calculus and pre-calculus in high school and you don't have any particular problems with it, then you have the basic math skills that you need for the MIT curriculum, and at that point you shouldn't be excluded because of grades or GPA.
At that point it becomes an issue of mental toughness and other personality traits, which is something that you can't see with test scores. One thing about things like motivation is that the student probably knows better what they want they I do. I can't tell from talking to someone whether they *really* like science or are just saying the right things to get something.
Also, this is why I call the MIT admissions process, bogus. You are trying to figure out a human being based on a short one to two page essay. Ultimately you can't. Lot's of people don't get in that should. Some people get in that shouldn't. However, when I've seen people that have done badly at MIT, it's never been because they just couldn't handle the math. It's trivial to write a test that would exclude people that are clearly unqualified to get in, but most high school students that have taken pre-calculus would pass that test. The really bad things that cause people to drop out or worse are personality issues.
The culture of MIT embraces failure. One thing about MIT grading is I've never had a test in which anyone had any chance of getting a perfect score. That's intentional, and it's designed to teach you something. You are an idiot. But the cool thing is that you are an idiot, but so are your teachers and your administrators. They are idiots too. If you aren't being an idiot, then you aren't inventing new stuff, or doing new things.
I don't know of anyone that went to MIT that didn't have something like a nervous breakdown at one point. But you learn at MIT how to handle nervous breakdowns and bad moments. The thing that I loved about MIT was that I think I was working at the limits of what was physically possible for me. My body and brain just would not let me work harder than I did, and I taught myself tricks for being productive, and figured out what worked, and didn't work.
Just to give you a funny example of "what I learned at MIT." At home, my mother always told me to eat my vegetables. Once I ended up at MIT, I could eat whatever I wanted, and after two months, I just felt lousy and I constantly had stomach problems. It's because no one was telling me to eat my vegetables, and so after I did those problems disappeared. That's the type of thing that you learn at MIT.
Personally, it was a relief for me. One of my deep dark secrets in high school was that I hated being number one. I found MIT to be a relief because since it was impossible to be number one, there was no point in trying and no shame in failing. The other one of my deep dark secrets in high school was that I was profoundly lonely. I was really the only science geek in my school. The nice thing about MIT was that I was now in a school full of science geeks, and "science was cool."
The problem with MIT admissions is that there is no way that I'd put any of this on an admissions application, partly because I didn't realize a lot of this stuff was going on at the time. If you really want to see whether someone will thrive at MIT or not, you have to look into a person's soul, and the student coming in knows more about their soul than the admissions committee.
Part of what I'm trying to do is to scare people away from MIT.
One of the things that the physics department at MIT did was to totally revamp the intro physics classes 8.01 and 8.02. The political reason for this was that there was serious talk of dropping physics as a general institute requirement, and if the physics department didn't do something original with 8.01 and 8.02, they would have lost that battle.
There is a persistent academic fight at MIT that started when I was there and is still going on between the "old school" physics/math people and the "new school" biology/management people. One thing that was traumatic for me, but probably good in the long run is that because you had different professors telling me different things, I had to figure out for myself what worked for me.
Also, it really depends on the student and the place. One reason that MIT worked well for me is that there was never anyone that told me that I couldn't do something.

SPOKANE, Wash.--Sex trafficking is a big business in the Inland Northwest. Leaders in the fight against illegal sex trade gathered at Gonzaga University on Tuesday for a forum.
The state of Washington was given an A grade for their fight against sex trafficking.
"People that go out and target young girls, stalk them and try to recruit them into the seedy underworld and will beat them or rape them and do all sorts of things to keep them involved," said Senator Mike Padden.
The Canadian border, port cities and lots of land to operate make the State of Washington a haven for the sex trade according to officials.
Senator Mike Padden from the Spokane Valley spearheaded and helped pass legislation in the last session to stop human trafficking in Washington State.
Padden said while it is difficult to track the actual numbers the anecdotal effects are clear.
"They can require these young gals to be doing up to 15 sex acts a day...there's all sorts of money they make on it," said Senator Padden.
Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich has also been a big leader in the fight. He said sex trafficking can be anything from pimps selling girls on the street to criminals who advertise sex for sale on websites like backpage and craigslist. He said many of the women are held against their will.
"They'll come into the area, stay about three days, conclude their business then move on because any longer than 3 days they can start being detected," said Knezovich.
Padden said Washington has come a long way but said the fight is not over.
"Hopefully we can be a model to other states," said Senator Padden.

What's your favourite mascara color?
Beautiful with Brains says: black!
Blackest Black is my favorite :>
Phyrra´s last blog post ..Vicious Cosmetics
I also use black. I had a deep purple mascara once and I really liked it.
Dao´s last blog post ..Black Swan FOTD
I guess Black is EVERGREEN! I mean since we all have got black lashes, so more or less it is a default color which looks best on everyone.
shruti´s last blog post ..Giveaway at Libby's pink vanity
Black and purple!
Dee´s last blog post ..EOTD – Sunset Look Revisited and Revised
Black is definitely evergreen. Other colours just looks odd on me. Hence, I stay away from them.
But I guess for blondes or brunettes, using brown or dark brown mascara works well on their eyes too.
black and it is never others!
Well, besides super dark black, I love vibrant blue mascaras!

You can also get a chicken from a vendor at the racetrack in Thousand Needles. Don't know if this is different than the Westfall quest reward but probably not.
If you're Alliance, do a quick search for the Lil' Timmy when in Stormwind. On my server, the white kitten sells consistently for 200g at the neutral AH, and around 100g at the faction AH. So this is a really easy way to build up some money when you're lower level.
Wow, that is cheep, I just sold the White Kitten on the Neutral AH on my server for 800g.

Jazz forward, Jeremy Evans, completed what may have been the best defensive and offensive sequence this preseason. After quickly closing the gap on Ronny Turiaf's 15 foot jumper, Evans recovered the blocked shot and raced down court for a thunderous dunk over Turiaf on the other end.
When an opponent draws "ooh's and ahh's" on the other team's home court; it's worth a watch.

Kid Flash - Young Justice
I previously established my son's love for the idea of The Flash in this post as one of pure simplicity: small children love to run around as fast as they can for its own sake. So a super powered speedster? Easy sell.
An even easier sell was The Flash's young protege Kid Flash (who I previously posted a drawing of here), as I've already discussed his love of/connection with kid sidekicks. He first learned of the existence of young Wally West when he appeared on a McHappy Meal toy (illustrating the importance of licensing in growing your audience), which led us to start watching the Young Justice TV show. It quickly became my three-year-old's favourite show, and truthfully, one I really enjoyed watching as well. And of The Team, Kid Flash quickly joined Robin as his favourite character in the DC universe.
So it was no surprise when KF shot to the top of the list of characters he wanted me to add to his wall of construction paper creations. The only drawback is that the character design of the Young Justice TV series, while gorgeous, is a lot more complicated than the streamlined art of the Timm-verse or Batman: The Brave and the Bold, which usually served as the models for my scissor art. Which meant I had my work cut out for me. Get it? Cut out?
Let's move on.
The big challenge involved the padding in the legs and shoulders, which are the same colours as the part of the costume they are featured on. Since the ethos of this project is to minimize the use of any medium other than coloured paper (i.e., not use pens to fill in detail), I didn't want to just draw the padding in. So I cut the shape of the padding of the thigh, calf, knees, shoulders in black, then pasted the colour (or colours in the parts with shading) onto the black to create the sense of outline.
And since that took so much work, I cheated a bit more with the fingers, gloves, hair, and boots and just went ahead and inked them in. Either way, it looks pretty sweet.
As for the character himself, I'm also a fan of the Young Justice version of Wally West. In the first season of the show, he was a refreshing injection of energy for a genre that too often likes to focus on how hard it is to be super-powered. Look, I get it. I grew up on Chris Claremont X-Men, so I know all about the draw of melodrama and angst. But now that one of my primary connections with this world is through sharing it with my toddler, I'm drawn to things that keep it fun.
And Wally West is fun. He enjoys being a hero. He's an id-driven teenage boy who likes to hang out with his bros and is constantly, laughably hitting on the ladies of the show. He goes home to his mom and dad, who know about his superhero life and support him, and affably tells them about his day and his adventures. And like all teenage boys, but especially ones that are supernaturally active, he is always eating. Which, I must say, has been very helpful for us to get a distracted little boy to focus at meal times. "Kid Flash eats all his food". "If you want to be fast and strong like Kid Flash, you need your fuel".
So thanks Wally.

Serious Case Review - Ian Huntley
Final report
North East Lincolnshire Council's Response
Statement from Julie Ogley, Executive Director of Community Care, on behalf of North East Lincolnshire Council.
Sir Christopher Kelly's Response
Statement from Sir Christopher Kelly.
Area Child Protection Committee's Response
Statement from the Area Child Protection Committee
The circumstances leading to the tragic deaths of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman at the hands of Ian Huntley are well known. The publicity surrounding Ian Huntley's trial, and the report of the public inquiry conducted by Sir Michael Bichard published on 22 June 2004, have drawn attention to the fact that before he moved to Soham Ian Huntley had had a series of relationships or sexual encounters with a number of young women while he was living in North East Lincolnshire in the 1990s. Some of these young women, and Ian Huntley's involvement with them, were known to social services. Some of the contacts were known to the police, and some to one of the schools in Immingham which a number of the girls attended. In retrospect Ian Huntley's history of serial sexual exploitation should have rung significant warning bells. But the connections were not made.
A serious case review was set up to consider how well the statutory agencies in North East Lincolnshire responded to the individual needs of the young people known to them who had contact with Ian Huntley during the period before he moved to Soham. In writing this report, it has been made clear where instances of practice have fallen short of an acceptable standard. But the main objectives have been to understand what happened and to seek to draw any necessary lessons so as better to protect and look after vulnerable young people in the future. To that end a number of recommendations were addressed to the statutory authorities in North East Lincolnshire and three addressed to the Government. The recommendations are summarised at the end of the below report.
The serious case review report and related responses are on the right hand side of this page.

History of Batangas City, Batangas, Philippines
Spanish missionaries first set foot in Batangas City in 1572. The settlement was founded in 1581 and named "Batangan" because of the numerous big logs that abounded the Calumpang River. The logs were called "batang" by the natives who settled near the river and called the settlement "Batangan". This name was modified and became Batangas in 1601. Don Agustin Casilao was appointed as the first Gobernadorcillo. Since 1754, the city has been the capital and administrative center of the province. Batangas became a city in 1969 through Republic Act. No. 5495.

Natural Resources of Batangas City, Batangas, Philippines
- Protect the environment
It is sad but true that as of the year 2012 the rivers of the Philippines continue to be the #1 Sewer Systems of the Philippines.
Protect & Save the Rivers. Do not let your sewer drain into the river. Your community can be the first to initiate this project.
Build your riverbank protection with a built-in gutter system. Reforest within Ten Years - Guaranteed!
Let us plant more trees in every barangay in the entire Philippines. It does not make any difference if the barangay is urban, partially urban or rural; we need more trees. Trees will prevent erosion, provide oxygen, prevent green house effect, and even a place of business for the shade tree mechanic.
The Philippines is a tropical country and practically anything will grow. The DENR has the planting trees project that goes on every year. Lots of picture taking for the media. Planting trees one by one is the "human" way of doing it. This individual planting of trees is good if done to "line" the roads and highways with trees or along fences or property divisions, or if you have a plantation.
To reforest the nation of the Philippines we have to plant trees the "mother nature" way. Sow the seeds during the rainy season. Go deep into "bald" forests and plant trees by sowing seeds. If there's not enough volunteers to do this, use the military helicopters to fly over the designated areas and sow the seeds.
Guaranteed within a few years, The Philippines will be lush again. >>Read More
We are using our rivers as our sewer system. If you ask a Filipino, "Are the Filipinos a clean people?" The answer is an automatic, "Yes!". However, the Filipinos are suffering from the same disease or attitude as most people do, and that is the "NIMBY" disease or "NIMBY" attitude. (NIMBY) Not In My Back Yard. So it is OK to dump my garbage and sewer there. Not mine! Someone else will take care of it.
This attitude is killing our rivers. Your great-grandparents, grandparents or parents were once proud to tell the stories of how they enjoyed swimming in the river behind your house or nearby. However, you can't say the same or tell the same stories to your kids or grand kids. Why? Because your generation is killing the river.

PIA Press Release
Thankful Batangueños vow "strong support" for PGMA
Batangas City (28 March 2008) -- The provincial government of Batangas has vowed its strong support for President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as it thanked the "untiring" Chief Executive through a Provincial Board Resolution of Support for all the graces that the province has so far received from the Arroyo administration.
The President was informed about the provincial resolution strongly supporting her after she had alighted from a bus that took her on a windshield inspection tour Wednesday (March 26) of the newly-paved 20-kilometer portion of the Southern Tagalog Arterial Road (STAR) that links the Tambo interchange in Lipa City with the Balagtas interchange in Batangas City.
Sponsored by Batangas Vice Gov. Antonio "Marc" Leviste II and co-sponsored by all 12 provincial board members, the resolution dated March 24 thanked the President "for extending numerous projects and programs to Batanguenos and the province of Batangas."
"Her Excellency Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has been constantly developing the foundation for a robust and more progressive Philippines (and) has effectively widened the various socio-economic programs to increase growth and cut poverty," stressed the Provincial Board's Resolution of Support that was approved by Gov. Vilma Santos-Recto.
Recalling that President Arroyo had unveiled in her 2006 State-of-the- Nation Address (SONA) "her programs to upgrade all ways of transportation such as roads, bridges, port services and railways, among others, which are aimed at establishing economic 'super regions' to goad the development of our nation," the Batangas leaders then provided a litany of what Batangas had so far obtained from the President's super regions vision:
"As a result thereof (super regions), the Western Roll-on, Roll-off (RORO) Nautical Highway in Batangas City that connects Southern Luzon to the Visayas and Mindanao is a big success;
"The Calatagan-Lubang Port has been completed; several bridges under the President's Bridges Programs have been constructed all over Batangas province;
"The modernization program of the International Port of Batangas was turned over and inspected by the President last January 26, 2008;
"The road-widening project of the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) and the construction of its extension up to Sto. Tomas, Batangas is ongoing;
"The realization of the development of a 'cyber corridor' to attract investments for the call center and business process outsourcing (BPO) sectors has been achieved; and
"The continuation of the STAR from Lipa City to Batangas City is now open for public use."
The resolution further dubbed as "clear, achievable and within reach" the President's "vision and promise… for the so-called 'Metro Luzon Beltway' which includes the Province of Batangas and the rest of Region IV into a globally competitive urban economic and tourism hub through infrastructure developments."
"The Provincial Government and Provincial Board of Batangas (are) optimistic that the priority and objective of the President's economic plan is to continuously harness together the major economic provinces and regions such as Batangas and Southern Tagalog, respectively, and make it larger than the sum of its parts, giving our kababayans the much-needed opportunities for progress," added the resolution which concluded, thus:
"The President (is) worthy of the gratitude and support of our kababayans for her untiring and resolute efforts to improve the quality of life of our people through strengthened partnerships, strong leadership, and excellent economic policies.
"As duly-elected representatives, we renew our confidence in the Arroyo administration, and we encourage the Filipino people to unite for the achievement of a common vision, and uphold the rule of law in order for our government to move on and realize a peaceful, progressive and stable nation through genuine reconciliation."
The President was joined in her bus ride cum drive-through inspection by Batangas officials led by Governor Santos-Recto, Rep. Mark Llandro Mendoza, Rep. Eileen Ermita-Buhain, Transportation Secretary Leandro Mendoza, and former Sen. Ralph Recto, among others.

This Wine Is Rated:
The wine is fermented and aged in natural cement tanks imported from France, allowing for this varietal's clean aromas to shine bright. This wine sees no wood, helping to maintain the bright fruit characters and minerality produced from the Chardonnay grapes.Mineral driven nose with citrus shining through. Cement tank fermentation and aging bring out aromas remindful of the first rain of the season or a wet rock. Soft and round entry with an acid backbone informs you these grapes are grown in a cooler climate. Mid palate reveals ripe fruit such as lemons, gooseberry and grapefruit. Finishes dry while the acid comes and goes in a balanced fashion. Laser sharp minerality carries through from start to finish on both palate and aroma. - Winery

Improperly discarded cigarette sparks sofa blaze
A working smoke alarm recently installed by Central Kitsap Fire & Rescue alerted neighbors to a fire inside a Northlake Mobile Home Park residence Sunday, June 28 and prevented the potential loss of an entire home.
Several people called 911 after hearing a smoke alarm around 1:15 p.m. in the Bremerton mobile home park. Witnesses then noticed smoke coming from the back of a home.
No one was home at the time the alarm sounded.
One neighbor ran down the street, located and alerted the homeowner who then ran inside and discovered a smoldering sofa. The homeowner and neighbor removed the sofa from the residence and waited for firefighters to arrive.
Navy Region Northwest Fire and EMS and CKFR firefighters used a fire extinguisher to snuff out the blaze. Damage was contained to the sofa.
An improperly discarded cigarette caused the fire.

Using Hallways for Book Storage
True, most of us don't live in homes with grand hallways like this. But the photo definitely got us thinking that passageways, at least wide enough ones, provide an under-utilized book storage option.
We spotted this photo on AtticMag. It accompanied a post about rugs in a bookcase hallway. Rugs aside, the post raises a good, obvious point — hallways are a potential hot-spot for book storage, if your hallway is wide enough. Even if it's narrow you could put a high shelf (above door height) that runs the perimeter of the hallway space or just down one side of the hallway.
Have you utilized a hallway or entry way as a book storage zone?
16 Comments
Anyone have a source for those globe lights?
i love the idea of a shelf lining the entire hallway above the doors. i think i will use it.
I have way too many books and a pretty small apartment, so I use this hallway space for an extra little bookshelf. I might get a taller one and just cover up the whole wall!
While lovely, it does have some functional problems.
Whatever artwork is on that right wall is going to receive pretty heavy sun, so don't put anything of great value unless both the windows and framing glass are UV protected.
Also, the reflection off of that wall potentially can damage the books as well. Especially those closest to the windows.
So, great look. Just take care when implementing.
are the books arranged the same way on every shelf?
you had a post about this just a month or two ago...
I'm combining two standard closets (about 4' wide), the hallway side will host a pantry (though now I'm thinking a library would be more interesting after that photo), the bedroom side will host an office alcove. Trying to think of this small house like it's a boat and that every inch counts.
Love it. No more boring halls.
just wanted to say i'm so glad i clicked on your link because your cord storage idea is GENIUS!! i'm so gonna copy it!
This hallway draws me in. I love it.
so grand, yet cosy at the same time! I want to live in this hallway!
Rasabasa- Thanks, yeah my boyfriend is a serious cord hoarder, so I used this product from Ikea
I think it is intended to be used under a desk, but instead I just screwed it onto the inside of the closet door- so far it is working pretty well!
I do this. My upper level has a wide hallway along one side (It is a converted attic, and the ends are used for bedrooms, the middle for the stairs and the hallway) so I have put short bookcases along the length of the short walls (the sloped ceiling means the walls are short), and a pair of taller bookcases on the taller ends. I also put an easy chair and floor lamp at one end to make a reading nook right outside the master bedroom. The cats probably sit in the chair more than I do, but it's a great use of what would probably otherwise be underutilized space. It would be better if all my books fit there, but being the bibliophile that I am, that would be difficult...
For a while I've been thinking about this idea, I also love that I don't have to look at them all the time!
Love this and the benches too!
My house has a decent sized hallway in it. Not as grand as that one, but I think I may place two bookshelves in it with a bench inbetween for putting on/taking off my shoes.

Roseate Spoonbills are among the hundreds of wading birds flocking in unusually high numbers to two ponds at the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge west of Boynton Beach.
For about a week the ponds beside the refuge visitors' center have become a birdwatchers paradise, thanks to a combination of lowered water levels and diminished oxygen in the water. That makes fish easy prey for wading birds such as Egrets, Herons, Wood Storks and Ibis.

Alright just trying to be clear on now I'm 60 it really isn't a point to go for 60 gear at all really just 70 gear. But as far as the Tier Sets. I don't know about Tier 6, but I know Tier 4 & 5 is sold buy a vendor in Shatterath City. I had my lvl 45 BE Priest summon there just to see what he look like in them. But I don't know what the cost is. I do see the token icons though as the price. I hope I understand correctly, but you only get the tokens by doing instances in Heroic mode, at least that's what is stated in the BC guide. I'm too assume that depending what instance you do in Heroic drops that instance Heroic token and you take that token to the vendor.
And to answer how tokens drops. I believe the guide said 1 for everyone.
