App Spotlight: Receipt scanner Piikki is free, today only
Receipts are the bane of my existence. I'm constantly misplacing ones I need to file for expense and travel reports. Isn't this the 21st century? Why do we need to save bits of paper anyway?
In the future, I'm sure all business expenditures will automagically find their way into the proper reports, probably through some mashup of RFID, Bluetooth, and Excel 2063. In the meantime, there's Piikki for iOS, which converts snapshots of your receipts into expense reports.Read more »

Recall: More than 10,000 Subaru Foresters for curling floor mats
Heat can warp the mats and cause them to block the driver's pedals in 2014 models.
Subaru is recalling 10,137 Foresters to fix floor mats that can curl and block the driver's pedals, according to filings with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Floor mats on certain 2014 Forester crossovers can curl "when exposed to heat," Subaru said, which could mean anything from engine and transmission heat radiated through the driver's footwell to ducted hot air from the climate-control system. On April 1, the automaker found 21 Forester models at a Washington state port with curled floor mats and later instructed dealers to remove floor mats after finding that the resin used on the mat's backing was defective.
Subaru dealers will begin replacing all four carpeted floor mats by the end of April. Owners can call Subaru at 1-800-782-2783 for more information.

A tour of Tokyo Disneyland: World Bazaar
Written by Robert Niles
Last Sunday morning, I woke up as Mount Fuji appeared in my window.Tweet
Two hours later, I'd be on the ground in Tokyo, stepping off a bus just outside the gates of Tokyo Disneyland.
Tokyo Disneyland was the first Disney theme park built outside the United States, opening in 1983. But the park closed for a month earlier this year after the devastating earthquake and tsunami crippled power supplies and transit routes in much of Japan. Today, there's no obvious sign of damage or disruption at Tokyo Disneyland, which remains one of the world's top theme park destinations.
And for good reason. Visiting Tokyo Disneyland is like visiting the best of Disneyland and Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom - at the same time. There's Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean, and Disney World's Haunted Mansion. There's the immense Cinderella's Castle, just like at Disney World, but there's an attraction inside it, too, just like at Disneyland.
But Tokyo Disneyland takes it U.S. counterparts one better, preserving elements long gone from the American Magic Kingdoms. Want to see the Country Bear Christmas show? Or visit Fort Sam Clemens on Tom Sawyer Island? Better catch a flight to Tokyo, because this is the only place where those attractions still exist. At 115 acres, Tokyo Disneyland is larger than the Magic Kingdom (107 acres) and Disneyland (85 acres), too.
All this week, we'll explore the lands of Tokyo Disneyland. So let's start with the beginning:
Whoops, I meant World Bazaar.
The Main Street USA name isn't the only thing missing from Tokyo Disney's entry land. There's no railroad station, either. (Tokyo Disneyland's railroad is called the Western River Railroad, and circles just Adventureland. We'll visit that tomorrow.) With no train station to go around, you simply pass under a short portico, and you're there.
But Tokyo Disneyland's World Bazaar trades that train station for... a roof.
The glass roof that spans World Bazaar provides shelter from Japan's occasionally inclement weather, though the rest of the park remains exposed to the elements. World Bazaar's also unique among Disney entrance plazas in other ways, too.
The Christmas decor is up in World Bazaar
Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom follow essentially the same layout: Main Street leading to the "Hub" - a circular plaza from which extends "spokes" to the main lands in the park, including Adventureland, Frontierland/Liberty Square, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. An outer wheel connects the land, but it doesn't go all the way around. The only way back to Main Street is via the Hub. Here's a rough sketch:
Tokyo Disneyland follows a different basic layout. The biggest difference is that the outer "wheel" completes the circuit. It goes all the way around, meeting in the middle of World Bazaar. That means that the land has two streets, the Main Street running north/south, and a complete Center Street running east/west. (In Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom, Center Street's just a stub on either side of the middle of Main Street.)
World Bazaar also doesn't go all the way to the main hub in the park. Instead, it terminates at the Partners statue of Walt and Mickey, which stands in a "mini-Hub" that precedes the main hub.
Here's the park map:
Also, when you walk into Tokyo Disneyland, you are facing south, as opposed to when you walk into either Disneyland or the Magic Kingdom, where you are facing north. (Which makes photographing the park difficult, as I was facing into the low December sun when I faced the castle.)
Another difference? Many of World Bazaar's restaurants and storefronts include public second floors. In the US parks, the second floors are simply facades in front of upper-level office space. And Disney Imagineers use a forced perspective effect on those facades, to make the structures seem larger than they really are.
In Tokyo, there is no forced perspective. The second floors are actual sized, with a roof on top of them. The forced perspective effect used in the United States is missing, making World Bazaar seem a bit... top-heavy to my eye, which is used to the scale of the US Main Streets.
With no railroad of Main Street vehicles, there are no attractions in Tokyo Disneyland's World Bazaar. But there are six (yep, six) restaurants. (Click through for more photos, full descriptions with menu selections, and reader ratings.)
Most of the restaurants offer plastic displays of their selections, such as this pasta course from the Eastside Cafe.

Ready for some rides? Join us tomorrow, when we'll continue our trip around Tokyo Disneyland with a look at Adventureland. Also: Westernland and Critter Country, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland.
Readers' Opinions
From Brandon Mendoza on December 12, 2011 at 11:59 AM
Great beginning of the tour! I especially like the detail of how the forced perspective makes World Bazaar look top heavy to your eye as it would to most of us in the U.S. parks.
I'm guessing that to many of the repeat visitors of Tokyo Disney, it's what they're used to.
Robert, did you happen to get some input from a local that speaks English to compare and contrast these POV's? I think that could add a nice touch from one Disney Park local to another Disney Park local.
Really excited for this series of updates as I don't see myself going to Tokyo anytime soon! WDW takes priority for me!
From James Rao on December 12, 2011 at 8:05 PM
Great detail, commentary, and pictures. Keep 'em coming. I now have a reason to live, at least for this week!
From Robert Niles on December 12, 2011 at 12:45 PM
Remember, too, that next week is Universal Studios Singapore and the week after that is Tokyo DisneySea. We'll take care of you all the way up until Christmas!
From Ashleigh Noad on December 12, 2011 at 3:18 PM
Can't wait for the next update. Not too sure what I make of the roof...
From Joshua Counsil on December 12, 2011 at 3:23 PM
Nice detail. Really looking forward to Tokyo DisneySea.
From Ed Newman on December 12, 2011 at 3:42 PM
Wow. Nice start of the "tour" Robert. Breaking it down into smaller daily increments makes it easier to digest and understand.
I think the roof idea would be appreciated at Disneyworld - MK. The Florida weather can be "inclement" at numerous times (as we experienced last June).
Looking forward to learning more about the Disney parks in Japan.
From José María Sandoval on December 12, 2011 at 8:17 PM
Great report!
From 220.127.116.11 on December 12, 2011 at 8:49 PM
Is the roof because it is rainy or colder there? I'm not sure what Tokyo weather is like....... but I kinda like the roof. It's okay because it does not go all the way up to the castle..... so it does not conflict with it.
From Ricardo K on December 13, 2011 at 8:01 AM
Fantastic! I had the opportunity to visit TDL in 2007 but I was so short on time that I didn't get to see all these great details! I somehow managed to visit both parks though. I do hope I get to go there again soon with more time to explore everything!
Looking forward to reading the next articles!

ADHD Drugs Can Cause Hallucinations in Some Kids
Reuters: Drugs for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder can cause children to have hallucinations even when taken as directed, U.S. government researchers said on Monday.
U.S. Food and Drug Administration researchers analyzed data from 49 clinical studies conducted by makers of the drugs and found they can cause psychosis and mania in some patients, including some with no obvious risk factors. In some cases, children hallucinated that worms, bugs or snakes were crawling on them.
"Patients and physicians should be aware of the possibility that psychiatric symptoms consistent with psychosis or mania" might arise in the course of treatment, Dr. Andrew Mosholder and colleagues wrote in the journal Pediatrics.
Their analysis provides fresh detail about known risks of the drugs, which include Novartis AG's Ritalin and Focalin XR, Shire Plc's Adderall XR and Daytrana patch, Johnson & Johnson's Concerta, Eli Lilly and Co's Strattera and Celltech Pharmaceuticals Inc's Metadate CD.

The Road to Redemption
Ten weeks before the '10 Power Tour(r) kickoff party, we freed the car from the corner of the shop and took inventory. Our naive outlook was that we'd find a broken valvespring, fix a fuel tank leak, change some fluids, put new tires on the car, and hit the road. Wrong! A peek under the valve covers did not discover a broken valvespring. Digging further reminded us that this car had hundreds of precision parts, all custom-machined to work perfectly together. Exactly what made the Pavement Pounder so cool and unique is what now made it so daunting to rebuild in a short time. Mild panic ensued and we called engine builder Kurt Urban to see if he'd help us with the engine. After sitting unloved for a decade, the Pavement Pounder was disassembled in a weekend and parts were sent in every direction to prep it for its next cross-country drive.
The mystery valvetrain noise turned out to be a broken tip on one of the titanium valves, and several others looked like they were on the way to destruction, too. We also found heavy scoring in the pin area of five of the pistons, probably due to the vacuum pump we ran on the engine (it was worth 22 hp but has a tendency to suck oil off the cylinder walls). The rest of the engine looked pretty good, but it would welcome a fresh set of rings and bearings.
While The Engine Was Out
The only known problem with the rest of the car was a leaky fuel tank (that and a big dent when the car fell off the floor jack while we were jacking it up to inspect it). Charlie Thurman at Superior Radiator built the original tank, and he was happy to knock out a replacement, as well as a new radiator, when we found ours full of corrosion from sitting so long without an anode. We checked the brakes and filled the master cylinder, put new System 1 fuel filters throughout the fuel system, replaced the 15-year-old Optima YellowTop battery, replaced the fluid in the TH400, and mounted a new set of BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires on the original Halibrand wheels. We pondered whether we should heed conventional wisdom, which says to replace any braided-steel fuel line that's more than about seven years old. Checking the calendar and our Visa bill, we decided to ignore it and see what happened. More on that later.
Engine Rebuild
We called on Comp Cams to deliver a valvetrain that was more durable on the street but not weak on the top end. Our request was the biggest solid roller cam the company had that wouldn't kill a set of lifters in 3,000 street miles, and Comp delivered (see the captions for details). Urban also recommended some other small changes and buttoned up the bottom end while we made final repairs on the car.
The Final Yard
In 1998, the Pounder was started for the first time at 5:30 a.m. the day we left for Power Tour(r). We didn't do much better this time around. The rebuilt engine was finally in the car and ready to fire at 10 p.m. the day we wanted to leave for the Painless Kickoff Party. We primed the electric fuel pump, and gasoline seeped from the carburetor feed lines. Remember those braided-steel lines we mentioned earlier? The rubber hose inside the braided-steel had decayed. We scrambled around the shop and dug up some equally old but unused braided-steel line to replace those short leads and just hoped the primary lines from the tank up to the regulators would make the trip. The seals in the Dominator carb were also shot from sitting so long, but we had a spare Dominator in the trunk that we had built for the '98 Power Tour(r), so we bolted it on, static-set the timing, and hit the ignition key. The 557 roared to life like it had been waiting for permission. At 12:30 a.m., we were ready to hit the road.

Stop Telling Me to Breastfeed!
The fact of the matter is, it's a woman's choice. It is not my mother's choice, it's not the pediatrician's choice, and it isn't your choice. It is MY choice. So leave the breastfeeding decision up to me, OK?
Momlogic's Talitha: It's incredible to me that such a personal topic -- like breastfeeding -- can have such a public outpouring. Frankly, I am beyond over it. I cannot tell you how many times I have had to explain my uncertainty about breastfeeding -- especially to doctors: "Can I ask WHY?" they ask me. I always feel like my answer isn't good enough for them, as they then follow up with: "Well, it's definitely best for the baby, that's for sure, so even if you can just do it for X amount of time, that would be great. Even if you could just do it for six months, or three months!" Wait, did you not hear what I just said?
It's the parents' decision how they want to raise their children, and it's the parents' decision how they want to feed them. I don't comment on what you are putting in your own mouth, even though it is ridiculously unhealthy. What gives people the right to even ask "Can I ask why?" No, you cannot. It will be simply a decision we make based on what is best for our family.
The other day, as my husband and I were meeting our baby's potential pediatrician, he stuffed a bunch of leaflets in my hands. On the cover: "Our office is pro-breastfeeding!" Immediately, I had a judgment against the office. It's like going to an OB/GYN appointment and finding, displayed on their door, "We are Pro-Life!" This is the patient's business, not the doctor's. As we sat down, the doctor goes: "So I assume you will be breastfeeding," and without waiting for a response, continued his speech about office procedures and vaccinations, etc. I wanted to say, "Excuse me! I assume you feed your children only organic food, and I assume you don't eat any fast food, and I assume you encourage your kids to exercise, and ..." Why are you assuming? As with whatever happens in your household, what happens in mine is my business, not yours.
By the way, I am not an uneducated mom, OK? I know the benefits of breastfeeding. But how do you know that I haven't tried before and it didn't work for me? How do you know what my family's financial situation is and who will remain at home with our newborn?! How do you know I am even capable of breastfeeding? How dare you assume!
No matter what I decide to do (and in case you're wondering, I really don't even know yet), I am going to play it by ear, see how things go. But no matter what, I'll try to be the best mom I can be. And isn't that the most important thing?!
THANK YOU! i couldn't have put it better myself!!!
oh wow well here is a refreshing new topic that has not been talked to death about. How original!!! I have a feeling that this is going to bring some very nice and civilized comments very soooon
It sounds like you are having a discussion with yourself. Like you are feeling guilty because of your preposition on not wanting to breastfeed. If you are an educated mother, as you mentioned, then why are you getting so offended by the doctors? If my doctor was insisting on something it was going to be good for my baby, I would not get offended even if I disagreed. I breastfed for 18 months and even though it was a super smooth experience for me, it is a personal choice, like you said.
The physicians are interested because it is in the baby's best health interest to be breast fed. So, it would make sense they would be pro-breast feeding. The best physician/health care provider will see the patient with a holistic view, and that does include what they eat, where they live, family situation, etc. Just as with ourselves, a baby's health is related to their environment. I mention this so you may be able to lower some of your defenses about the perceived "noseyness" (for lack of a better term) of your physician and health care providers.
Yes, it is also true that parents make decisions for their children. Sometimes these are good decisions, often bad. It just is the way it is, like it or not.
Obviously, you are aware of the benefits of breastfeeding from increased immunity to better health and less risks in the child's adult life.
And, yes, the choice is yours. Our children are totally dependent on the adults that birth and raise them. May we all really do the best, not just what we may perceive is the best or what was done for or to us.
I wish you all the best.
THANK YOU!!!! I NEVER breastfed, and all 4 of my children are just fine! That is what formula is for. I really and truly do applaud women who breastfeed their children, that is great, but I personally find it repulsive (for me). Just because you don't breastfeed, doesn't make you a bad mother, or affect your ability to bond wit your child. I have a close and loving relationship with all of my children. If you want to breast feed go ahead, but remember,it is a CHOICE!
Thank you! I actually had a great experience with my ob/gyn and pediatrician but I get so tired of other moms and the media forcing the breastfeeding issue. I actually wasn't able to breastfeed because of a medical condition and for the first month or more I felt like I was somehow a bad mommy because if I cared more (or something like that) I'd try harder to breastfeed. What's important is that your baby is well taken care of and is getting bonding time with you. My daughter is almost 2 now and I can tell you she is extremely healthy, gorgeous and just a joy to be around. I don't see any indication that formula has been a detriment to her.
AMEN!! Seriously, I worked in daycare forever. Breast fed kids are no healthier/smarter/more well adjusted than formula fed babies. If anything they seemed to be more cranky. I haven't seen any real life proof that it makes any difference. SO bf if you want or use formula - what ever works - it really makes NO difference at all.
Thank goodness my dr. wasn't all militant about bf'ing. He just said "Do what's best for you as a mother because that is what's best for the baby" and that's the truth.
I'm lucky that my pediatrician wasn't for forcing mom's to breastfeed because it would have killed my child. I've never felt guilty about not wanting to breastfeed. My child is healthier because I didn't and if people choose to judge or whatever then so be it, their issue not mine.
Thankfully our pediatrician was supportive either way. After my child's birth it was a disaster. Hounding from the nurses in the hospital, snippy judgmental remarks from breastfeeding moms. It was never ending. There are reasons that it just DOES NOT WORK for some people! Leave people to make their own choice without judgment. Oh, and the funny thing is that I run a daycare and often times Iâve noticed that the moms who were militant breast feeders are the ones later on always swinging by McDonalds on their way home from work. Nice! They obsessed over feeding their infant the "best" but often they are the ones that later on stuff the junk in their child's mouth. Do I harass the moms that feed their kids crap? Nope, their business. I feed my children an extremely healthy, organic diet and am extremely careful about food choices. Do I think thatâs best? Yes. Do I shove it in other peopleâs faces? NOPE! It is THEIR OWN DECISION!
It's silly that you would be so upset about your doctors being concerned about your child's well being, because that's all they're doing. Comparing a declaration of being pro-breastfeeding to being pro-life is such an unfair comparison it's not even funny. They're trying to be encouraging. Sure yeah whatever it's your choice, but guess what? You still need to be a responsible mother, and the doctors are just trying to help you out with that. And no, of course I'm not saying that moms who don't breastfeed aren't responsible. I'm saying that there are a million studies that prove starting newborns on breastmilk is 100% the most healthiest choice. It is not the same as an adult eating fast food or not. Having said all that, I have empathy that you would feel bullied sometimes by doctors, who have a tendency to do that, no matter what the topic.
I agree with some of the comments your saying but it's been great for me and baby.We,been doing this for 9 month and by a year I hope to stop but my Dr Miranda was the best Peds he never assume anything only hope.
You go girl!!!!
I agree that it is your choice, and your choice alone. But I think that it is a little ridiculous that you had a judgement against the doctor's office simply because they proclaimed themselves pro-breastfeeding. In a culture where bf'ing moms still do not get enough support, and where doctors are so incredibly under-educated when it comes to bf'ing, its nice to see a doctor who is supporting moms that choose to breastfeed. Finally, a doctor who's only solution to latch problems won't be "Here, take some formula home." Yes, its your choice, but don't get your panties in a twist just because people want to encourage you with breastfeeding. Big deal.
it's NOT a choice…it's your baby's right to have the nutrition they are meant to have. formula is inferior.
No doc should "assume" your choice since formula babies aren't walking around radioactive. They should wait for an answer, perhaps try to change your mind by telling you the beneits and then leaving you the hell alone after that no matter what you pick. I think this mom was saying how she felt at that moment and I don't think she is saying run away from this practice and their pushy brochures. She spoke of her very own experience. I support BOTH options as I've used both for each kid I bonded with PERFECTLY, whether bottle or nipple!
It's not some unknown fact that breastmilk is THE BEST. Doctors know it and mom's know it. Until reports surface the formula-fed babies can rotate their heads "Exorcist"-style, why do people pass judgements?! And they do pass judgements all over the place, from right in your face to blogs.
To say the bond is disrupted is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Adoptive parents can't bond? Father's can't bond? A mom with a medical ailment preventing breastfeeding can't bond as well? Bollocks!!
I'm sick of the Bottle vs. Breast as well as Working vs. Stay At Home battles. Shut up, women! Support, no matter what the choice, should be the main focus, not look down smugly at your fellow mom because she does things opposite of you! Aren't we supposed to be the smarter sex?
Come down off the soapbox and take a chill pill. Until formula becomes illegal or causes heart failure, save the judging and do something positive. Promote breast milk all you want, yes!, but there's no need to look down on formula moms. Never!
I support BOTH options and all moms busting their butts to raise wonderful little ones, our future. Parenting can be stressful enough without people breathing down your neck over milk choices. Get real!
Healthy mom=healthy baby. Something sorely overlooked is the use of medication that prohibits breastfeeding(BF). I have anxiety/depression and met with my ob/gyn a year before getting pregnant to discuss my options. Staying on meds meant a healthy, happy me, but no BF. I always meant to BF. It was heartbreaking. I mourned, and I moved on. I found people very understanding, although not as judgmental as most magazine articles and blogs make them out to be. I now have a healthy 2 year old who's been sick once and has a voracious appetite for life and almost everything else! Thank goodness I didn't BF - he would've sucked me dry! If my BF experience taught me anything, it was to roll with the punches. It was a good way to start.
I think breastfeeding is wonderful! But seriously, why so angry? It makes me wonder how you react to other silly situations. How classy!
or pediatrician did ask how we were feeding, but only to give us the appropriate bag of goodies.
Breastfeeding is not a CHOICE, its your baby's RIGHT. Unless you physically can't breastfeed you should at the very least be TRYING to. Why is it so hard for women to understand this? It is scientifically proven that formula is inferior to breastmilk. Why wouldn't you want to give your child the best???
If you want to bring "your financial situation" into this, breastfeeding is a lot cheaper than formula feeding. Even if you have to go back to work you can pump, or at the very least nurse part-time.
I don't understand why people are having children when they don't want to at least try to do what is BEST for them. I understand stuff happens. I will be the first to admit, breastfeeding isn't easy, but for god sakes, at least try.
I, for one, am glad to hear that there are pediatricians out there like the one you encountered. Like someone else said, it is your child's pediatrician's business whether or not you breastfeed. Scientific studies have shown that breastfed babies are healthier. I'm puzzled as to why you wouldn't want your doctor to help you give your child the healthiest life possible. Doctors are in the healthcare industry, why is it so offensive that they'd want you to provide your child with the healthiest nutrition possible?
I would have thanked my lucky stars for a pediatrician like that. I constantly ran into doctors trying to get me to supplement and to switch to formula.
But I can totally understand why you're upset. Its obviously not because you're defensive and guilty. It must be because those horrible doctors want you to, GOD FORBID, do what's best ft your baby.
[eye roll]
Women have fought for years to have more support and education about breastfeeding. This is a GREAT thing.
I am so happy your doctors encouraged breastfeeding. GOOD FOR THEM!

Bigwig and Vervain :)
Vervain is a bully-looking rabbit soldier of General Woundwort. Here he doesn't look the best, I'll create a better design for him.
Bigwig. The most badass rabbit of the world. Fighting rats, cats and General Woundwort, infiltrating a militarized rabbit colony and saving lots of rabbits… I love him.
Two Efrafans, Groundsel and Chervil. I'm a bit puzzled because I'm not sure who was Chervil in the Hungarian translation (I'm Hungarian you know, and this is the first time I read the book in English). I only know he was Sherbyl in the movie and he was Blackavar's guard, but not in the book.
Groundsel is a very loyal soldier of General Woundwort, but he is a good guy. I tried to give him some cat-tish look.
Two new rabbit portraits: Pipkin and Dandelion, two nice guys. :)
Pipkin…he always reminds me a hobbit. His name sounds almost like 'Pippin' and his shapes in the movie were round and chubby. :) I like him, he is the nearest of the rabbits for the word "cute".
Dandelion is a storyteller and a very good runner. I tried to draw him similar to a hare, but I failed, his eyes are too big and I'm not satisfied with him at all.
A new character design: Cowslip. He was the favorit one to design, actually, I hate him in the story. I liked his act and look in the movie, it inspired me a lot.
Bluebell and Captain Holly, two more Watership Down rabbits.
Bluebell is a funny guy (he always reminded me Cuthbert from Stephen King's Dark Tower) so I wanted to make him smirk. Well, I failed, his face looks a bit…strange.
Captain Holly… I like him. He's just perfect. Maybe a bit too nice.
Those who escaped Efrafa. A portrait of Blackavar and Hyzenthlay.
Blackavar…well, maybe he is a bit too black and his ears are too much torn but I like him this way. When I read the chapter where we first met him… the most shocking part was as he said "the Council was merciful… I don't remember anything else, sir…"
I liked Hyzenthlay. She was such a brave and strong-hearted doe. But I always wondered why she wasn't the mate of Bigwig but Hazel. I liked her design in the movie that's why she has blue eyes and dark fur.
Till now I made several rabbit portraits, I designed almost all of the characters, but there are very few which are colored. So after that, you should wait for me to color another few ones :)
They are Boxwood and Haystack, two of the rabbits from the hutch. I like Himalayan rabbits, they look so pretty. I tried to give them some Asian look, especially the female, to show their difference from the wild rabbits.
Here are the first two rabbit portraits of the coming-soon-soon-soon comic Watership Down comic. They are Blackberry and Silver.
Blackberry was the mind of the group, he found out thing like discovering the usage of the boat.
Silver was a young member of the Sandleford Owsla, who joined the group because the older ones always pulled his leg because of his fur-color.
You've probably seen it on DA, so it is no spoiler to upload it here. This is one of my… well, we can call it early character designs. They are the rabbits of Efrafa.
I've made more designs so far, colored an unclored portraits but I'll only upload them when there will be more of them :) I don't want to spoil everything!

The Jeffersonian Rain Gauge is a practical instrument that can also serve as art or décor in your favorite outdoor space. The intriguing brass Jeffersonian Rain Gauge is a statement maker.
Inspired by Thomas Jefferson's affinity for invention, this unique device uses a float and lever design to measure up to 5" of rain (or sprinkler water) in 1/5" increments. As rain fills the vial of the Jeffersonian Rain Gauge, the red ball rises, consequently causing the steel arm to climb up the 5 inch scale. This gauge will turn into the wind to ensure the most accurate measurement or may be tightened down to fix its location.
The brass Jeffersonian Rain Gauge includes a pressure treated wooden stake for ground installation and a hanger bolt for mounting on a deck or other desired location.
The Jeffersonian Rain Gauge is crafted from solid brass, glass and stainless steel. (Glass vial not to be left out in freezing temperatures.) Quality construction with a lifetime guarantee!
- Dimensions: 12 1⁄ 2 " (318 mm) wide X 42" (106.7 cm) tall

|Broncos | Juwan Thompson stands out
Fri, 08 Aug 2014 09:49:49 -0700
Denver Broncos RB Juwan Thompson, who was an undrafted rookie, had six carries for 59 yards in the team's preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks Thursday, Aug. 7, including a 20-yard scamper on a third-quarter drive. Thompson has not disappointed in training camp, and he has a good feel for pass protection and can catch the ball. He's also the biggest back on the roster at 225 pounds. Thompson is currently the No. 4 running back on the depth chart.
Fantasy Tip: We all know how important pass protection is for running backs as they seek playing time, especially in Peyton Manning-led offenses. That's a plus for the rookie. He's buried on the depth chart for now, but tuck his name away in case Denver's backfield is ravaged by injuries.

|Broncos | Juwan Thompson moves up depth chart
Fri, 01 Aug 2014 22:21:13 -0700
Denver Broncos RB Juwan Thompson has moved to the front of the undrafted rookie running back pool and into the No. 4 spot on the depth chart behind RBs Montee Ball, Ronnie Hillman and C.J. Anderson. His ability in the passing game might give him a leg up in the race with RBs Kapri Bibbs and Brennan Clay.
Fantasy Tip: Thompson was a solid tailback on an overachieving Duke team in 2014 for head coach David Cutcliffe, who is very familiar with QB Peyton Manning. However, even if Thompson were able to hang on and win the No. 4 job, he would still need an injury or two to gain fantasy relevance.

Because Far Cry 2 is one of those open games where you have to exercise a whole bunch of investigative thought and careful planning, I restarted my game with the aid of a walkthrough. The immediate popular response to this kind of thing is to label it as a form of cheating, and it maybe it is, for what it's worth. However, I don't think it's worth all that much.
Specifically, I've quite enjoyed the process of receiving my instructions from the walkthrough and carrying them out. There's even a strange whiff of authenticity in the process – the idea that I'm a mercenary who receives specific instructions as to what my 'handler' (the walkthrough author) wants me to do. In the game I follow instructions, after all, just not instructions so exact. On the balance, I'm enjoying the experience of doing what I'm told and reaping the rewards, it's nice.
A further benefit, again related to authenticity, is that if I follow the instructions in the walk-through, it tends to yield a more 'realistic-looking' game in output. Knowing how to sneak around an enemy camp rather than stumble around being shot at makes me feel more satisfied with the representations of the game.
One clear fact, damning for many, is that it makes the game less challenging. Frankly, I don't always have the time to be challenged.
I was surprised to encounter an actual ethical 'moment' in a game today. I'd just started play Far Cry 2, being interested in the whole "open world" genre of shooters. After a jeep ride to a war-torn area, discovering my avatar has malaria, and being stranded in a hotel in the centre of some kind of combat, I took control of the avatar. I grabbed a gun, obviously, and tried to pursue my assigned objective of "escape the hotel."
I shambled around the hotel for a while, vision blurred by malarial episodes. Eventually, I made it downstairs and looked out the front door. There was a guy out there with an assault rifle, shooting at someone – but not me. When I moved my cross-hairs over him, they went red. I aimed at him, fired, and killed him.
I have been kind of haunted by this action ever since. After all, should I really be shooting people just because there are red cross-hairs involved? (Also, if I hadn't been playing in Easy mode, I wouldn't have had cross-hairs in the first place.) It really was the first time in a while that I've had that feeling of possibly doing something wrong in a game. There were at least three contributing factors:
Basically, the general lack of "moral information" both in the fiction of the game and its rules, led me to have some kind of genuine ethical problem. Which is cool.

since you guys seemed to enjoy bellatrix, let's have a go at another favorite character-fleur delacour. we first meet fleur when she's competing in the tri-wizard tournament at hogwarts as the beauxbatons champion. she was supposedly one of the most beautiful girls, like ever. being part veela, she attracted pretty much every guy at hogwarts especially ron. at first, fleur was annoyed with harry and ron but after harry saves her sister's life, she comes around. she sticks around as ron's sister-in-law after marrying his brother bill and aids in the fight against voldemort. all around, a stand up part veela kick ass witch. good for her. go fleur.

scarlett o'hara, the scourge of my childhood. gone with the wind played frequently in our house growing up, thanks to my mother who has an affection for epic romances and period pieces. despite my best efforts to avoid this film, i caught snippets of it here and there and pieced together the whole story. i always found scarlett pretty funny, her crazy antics never failed to amuse me…particularly when she's being her melodramatic self and chasing after men. scarlett was quite manipulative from what i can tell, she used others around her and lied about her feeling for friends, family and others. ms. o'hara was also obsessed with her appearance and status, noted by her waistline concerns and sadness when she couldn't attend social functions. as the story unfolds, she becomes calculating and rather tragiv. however, all her scheming gets her just what she deserves though and who could forget that amazing line, "frankly my dear, i don't give a damn." scarlett lands back where she belongs at her crazy plantation, tara to bring it back to it's glory days.1: chillin' at 12 oaks: dress by tracy reese, shoes by prada, hat by oscar de la renta, necklace by kate spade new york2: rhett, i need some cash: dress by isaac mizrahi (not made of curtains), shoes by michael kors3: "after all, tomorrow is another day"—back to tara: shirt by marni, overalls by ralph lauren, scarf by marni, boots by tory burch

How disappointing! This cornbread was very bland. I made this for a dinner party, and had to appologize to my guests for
Super-Moist Cornbread
KikiLikes2Cook Posted: 04/03/09
dunwoodygal Posted: 12/21/08
I served this with chili with butternut squash and it was sooo... good It was very moist and had a good crisp crust, I would recommend it as a "go to" cornbread recipe.
NaNaMO1 Posted: 01/07/09
My husband and I loved this cornbread. It is very nicely moist and firm. The corn kernels add a nice texture. It comes out of the pan looking like a picture from a magazine. I would not hesitate to serve this to guests or take to a coverd dish supper. I might add a little salt next time.

Clegg v. Farage: The numbers behind the words
The two EU debates have left us with a brain-frazzling amount of facts and figures. Both leaders called for the facts, but both made false claims, from the wilfully misleading to straight up lies.
1. Farage: The EU costs us £55m per day
The contributions made by businesses and government tot up to £20bn. But when you include what they get back, the final balance comes in at £8.6bn per year, or £24 million a day.
Verdict: Misleading
2. Farage thinks you'll vote differently to 'their' view, and get Britain out of the EU.
Not so fast. Assuming he thinks the other major parties want the UK to stay 'in', he would, at this moment, be wrong.
Verdict: FALSE (It's closer than he thinks).
3. Clegg: Many people believe that we should have a referendum when we have an important question to answer, when new powers are being transferred from our country to the European Union.
Well no, not quite. The British public hasn't been asked for a while, but according to a Populus poll published in June 2012, people were pretty keen – 82% wanted a vote 'now' or 'in the next few years'.
Verdict: FALSE (But the poll was 2 years ago).
4. Farage: Only 1 in 3 UKIP voters are former conservatives.
Not far off, but 45% of the UKIP support base voted Conservative in 2010, according to a series of YouGov polls. This is considerably more than Lib Dem voters who have switched, who make up 15% of UKIP supporters.
Verdict: FALSE.
5. Clegg: 1.5m Brits live elsewhere in the EU
He's right, in fact it's even more than this – 1.8m Brits live in Europe, and Spain has more than a million of them. This means that we have around 540,000 more Europeans living here than we have Britons abroad.
Verdict: TRUE.
6. Farage: We've had a massive oversupply of labour, and you've seen your wages go down over the last ten years as the cost of living has gone up.
Real wages, that's wage increase minus inflation, have fallen by about 2.2% a year since the recession, but Farage's claim that they've been falling for ten years is wide of the mark. Wages rose every year all the way back to 1996.
Verdict: FALSE.
7. Clegg: 9/10 of new jobs (in last year or two) have gone to British workers
Official figures show net employment rather than new jobs, so analysis is tricky (for example, people can hold more than one job). The estimates range from 23 new jobs per 100 taken by immigrants, to 'virtually nil'.
We don't know if those jobs would have existed without immigration, and we left Europe Britain wouldn't stop accept working migrants.
Verdict: We can't tell.
8. Clegg: Since 2004 about 2m people from elsewhere in the EU have come to our country, and half of them have returned.
Clegg's about right with this figure, but the sharp rise in February of this year, shown in the graph below, does back up Farage's view that the UK won't be able to do anything if more decide to come.
9. Farage: the majority of long term immigrants to the UK come from Europe.
Clegg's about right with this figure, but the sharp rise in February of this year, shown in the graph below, does back up Farage's view that the UK won't be able to do anything if more decide to come.
Verdict: TRUE.
10. Farage: the majority of long term immigrants to the UK come from Europe.
Wrong. Although net immigration has clearly fallen in recent years, compare this graph to the one above and historically more non-EU migrants have settled in the UK. If Farage means from now on he may have a point, but it would be pure speculation.
Verdict: FALSE.
11. Farage: We need to build a house every 7 minutes just to cope with immigration into this country.
Migration Watch figures say over the next twenty years five million of the projected eight million rise in population will come from immigrants.
Their sums say: 130,000 (EU) + 140,000 (non-EU) – 70,000 emigrants = net immigration of 200,000 per year.
Times is by 20 and you get 4m. The extra 1m they've added uses the ONS fertility rate figure, for non-EU born citizens, of 2.21%.
Verdict: Misleading (We could do with more houses though).
12. Farage: 75% of our laws come from Brussels / Clegg: No, it's only 7%
They're both wrong. Farage's figure is reportedly based on the words of an EU commissioner, Viviane Reding, who later admitted she was mistaken. As Clegg repeated yesterday, he is using House of Commons briefing papers. The paper actually says, "It is possible to justify any measure between 15% and 50% or thereabouts."
13. Farage: 45,000 children from Eastern European were on British child benefit. Clegg retorted that it was a "very small" proportion of total child benefit.
They're both right. The £55m paid abroad represents just 0.45% of the £12bn child benefit bill.
Verdict: TRUE.
14. Farage: FDI is coming into Britain faster than the rest of EU put together
An EY report, published in 2013, said that Germany was the most attractive option for investment in the period 2013-16. The UK has had the highest share of investment each year for the last ten years.
But Britain isn't gaining new investment faster than the rest of the EU put together. In 2012 Germany and France together secured 1095 FDI projects, and the UK 697.
Verdict: FALSE (but Britain still does well)
15. Clegg: the EU is the world's largest economy.
And, he's right. If you take all the countries together it's £100 billion bigger than the US. And you can bet his spin team were pleased with that one.
Verdict: TRUE.
16. Clegg: 3m jobs are linked to our position in EU.
Clegg's figure is a little out of date - at 4m it's actually more. But they are linked to Europe and not our position in the EU.
Would these jobs be at risk if the UK left the EU? Not overnight, said the author of the original study, but they might become 'a bit more vulnerable'. Backed in part by this EY report, Farage says any of these jobs lost would be supplemented by more jobs from Asia and the US.
Verdict: It's even more, but they're not necessarily at risk.
17. Clegg: the EU employs the same number of bureaucrats in Brussels as Derbyshire County Council
They do employ a similar number of people, but not necessarily bureaucrats. There were 36,159 public sector jobs in Derbyshire CC, and 33,000 employed in the European Commission.
Of course this also doesn't allow for those employed in the Council of the European Union, the European Council, the EU Court of Justice, the European Central Bank, the Court of Auditors, but of course, they're not all in Brussels.
Verdict: Misleading (And you've got to ask how many employees Derbyshire County Council needs…)
You might not be surprised to hear Nigel Farage came up with more false facts than his opponent, but then he won the debate hands-down. So the question is, who are you going to vote for come 22nd May?

Young, Asian and Unemployed? Know thyself.
Struggling to find employment or even land an interview and find yourself or your friends blaming racist attitudes by New Zealand employers? I urge you to think again.

Stylish DIY Project Idea: Copper & Leather Weave Side Table
Style by Emily Henderson
We always love a good industrial pipe project (curtain rods, work tables, and everything else from barn doors to bed frames) and this stylish DIY comes from none other than Style by Emily Henderson. Copper and leather, both very on-trend for this year, turn a simple side table into a glamorous accessory.
The project actually looks more complicated than it really is. The tutorial suggests using a tube cutter to cut your own pipe, but if you buy yours from Home Depot, you might be able to have them cut it to size for you. As for the leather, no need to buy a whole skin or hide — a pile of scraps is plenty if you're only making a small table.
(Cat not included.)
See the full tutorial on Style by Emily Henderson.

Like the idea. Love the cat.
And it comes with a Kitty Seal of Approval too!
You can't go wrong with copper and a black kittie!
Agree with NumberC. The copper should have been polished I think.

Fracking in Arkansas has become a popular since the increasing production of the Fayetteville Shale.
- The Fayetteville Shale is a geologic formation of Mississippian age (354–323 million years ago) composed of tight shale in Arkansas. It is named for Fayetteville, Arkansas and requires hydraulic fracturing to push up the natural gas contained within. The practice of hydraulic fracturing the shale began in Arkansas in 2009.
- The Mississippian Fayetteville Shale contains gas in the Arkansas part of the Arkoma Basin. The productive section varies in thickness from 50 to 550 feet, and in depth from 1500 to 6500 ft. The shale gas was originally drilled through vertical wells, but operators are increasingly going to horizontal wells in the Fayetteville.
- In April 2009, 1- to 3-kilometer-deep fracking wastewater disposal wells were sunk in the vicinity of Guy (population 706) and Greenbrier (population 4706), Arkansas. Shortly after, there was a cluster of earthquakes near Greenbrier. The Guy-Greenbrier area had had only one quake of magnitude 2.5 or greater in 2007 and two in 2008, but there were 10 in 2009, the first year of deep disposal, and 54 in 2010. Geologists warned the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission, the state agency that regulates deep injection, to "watch out" for more earthquakes. In October 2010, a magnitude 4.0 struck about a kilometer northeast of the deeper of the two new wells, and on November 20, a magnitude 3.9 struck 2 kilometers farther to the northeast toward Guy. Then, in February 2011, magnitude-4.1 and -4.7 quakes struck to the southwest of the deeper well, toward Greenbrier. By spring 2011, nearly 1000 recorded quakes had struck the area since the wells had started up.
- The State Oil and Gas Commission was concerned enough about a probable link between the disposal wells and the earthquakes that in July 2011 it ordered that one well be shut down, and it placed a moratorium on new ones in an 1,100-square-mile area. Three other disposal wells closed voluntarily. While small earthquakes are still occurring in the area, their frequency has declined substantially.
- An article in Science later explained that "data from the seismometer network… painted a detailed picture of exactly how the injected wastewater triggered the [Arkansas] quakes. It was injected into an aquifer 3 kilometers down, where it increased the pressure of groundwater in the rock's pores and fractures. From there the increased pressure due to injection spread through a previously unknown buried fault into the underlying rock, triggering quakes on the fault as it went.
- In 2012, some residents of Faulkner County affected by earthquakes filed a lawsuit against subsidiaries of Chesapeake Energy, which operated two of the wells, and BHP Billiton, which acquired the wells from Chesapeake as part of a larger purchase in 2011. The suit alleges that the quakes were caused by negligence, amounted to trespassing, and created a public nuisance, and that the companies knew of the risks.
Air Pollution and Silica
- In July 2012, two federal agencies released research highlighting dangerous levels of exposure to silica sand at oil and gas well sites in five states: Colorado, Texas, North Dakota, Arkansas, and Pennsylvania. Silica is a key component used in fracking. High exposure to silica can lead to silicosis, a potentially fatal lung disease linked to cancer. Nearly 80 percent of all air samples taken by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health showed exposure rates above federal recommendations. Nearly a third of all samples surpassed the recommended limits by 10 times or more. The results triggered a worker safety hazard alert by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
Fracking Legislation in Arkansas
- In October 2010 the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission issued proposed amendments to Commission Rule B-19 "Requirements for Well Completion Utilizing Fracture Stimulation" for commentary.

Tammys Hill delights locals
Liam Lennon trains Tammys Hill
(Healy Racing Photos)
The seven-year-old is trained by Liam Lennon and owned by Patsy Smyth from Poyntzpass, Co Down. His son James Smyth did the steering.
"He travelled well the whole time. I took my time and coming to the second last I sent him on. He's coming to himself and could be a Foxhunters type," James Smyth said.
The 3/1 second favourite kept up the gallop from the second last to beat 9/4 favourite Salsify by three and a half lengths.
Owner Patsy Smyth added: "We bred him ourselves. He's a good 'un!"
It was a further nine and a half lengths back to Merchant Royal in third at 14/1.
In view of another clash between Tammys Hill and Salsify in the Foxhunters at the Cheltenham Festival, bookmaker Stan James goes 10/1 joint favourite (from 12/1) the former and 10/1 joint favourite from 8/1 the latter.

Q. Any tips to get the best deal on renting shop premises?
A. The extent to which a landlord will be prepared to negotiate over a rental agreement will obviously depend on the desirability of the area in which you want to be. However, given that there are so many shops standing empty you are likely to be in quite a strong position when it comes to securing a good deal. In addition, as landlords now have to pay business rates on empty shops they are generally much keener than they were to get someone in to fill the space.
Go armed with as much information as possible – talk to shops nearby to find out how much rent they pay, and count the number of empty shops in the area. Ask for a rent-free period at the start of the lease – landlords are usually happier giving this than a rent reduction because it does not affect the rent per square foot they can charge. Insist on a break clause to be included for halfway through the rental period. Ask for help with any refurbishment that needs doing.
Finally, draw up a list of several shops you would be happy with so that you know you can always walk away if you don't get a deal that pleases you – if a landlord senses you are desperate to secure a particular shop they will be much less willing to negotiate.
Q. How can I guard against IT equipment (desktop computers in particular) becoming obsolete every two years?
A. A great way of keeping software up to date is to use a cloud-based system instead of buying the software outright. Companies offering accountancy software packages such as Sage, are increasingly moving their products to cloud-based systems, which you pay for on a monthly subscription basis rather than with a one-off fee.
The big advantage of using a cloud-based system is that the software is continually updated by the provider to incorporate the latest accountancy and VAT legislation, and to provide up-to-date exchange rates, for example.
As for desktop computers, the best way to avoid them becoming obsolete is to lease the IT equipment you need rather than buy it. Leasing packages typically include the option to upgrade, change or modify your equipment every 18 months or two years.

Unlike a lot of automakers that have already shown their commercials for the Super Bowl, Audi is taking a slightly different approach on how their building up interest for their two 60-second ads that's going to be shown during the game.
The German manufacturer has yet to release their two commercials, instead opting for a more conservative and more interesting approach in the form of two teaser videos.
Centered around the "Luxury Prison" campaign as an ode to the company's approach in progressive luxury, the two teaser videos gives us a good look at life inside the Luxury Prison.
In the first teaser video, some of the incarcerated 'felons' of the prison talk to a group of young thrust-fund babies on the perils of their high-brow lifestyles with the hope of educating these spoiled brats from avoiding serving time at the prison.
The second video features world famous saxophonist Kenny G playing the role of the prison's official "Riot Suppressor", a title he received for having the all-important role of de-escalating riots before they blow up into a full-on caviar throwfest.
These two videos serve as teasers for Audi's two 60-second commercials that will be shown at the Super Bowl. One thing that's worth noting about these two ads is that the Audi A8 luxury sedan will play prominent roles in both advertisements.
We don't know what kind of role capacity the A8 will have for the two commercials, but as Audi hopes, we're dying to find out. In the meantime, check out these two teaser videos of the 'Luxury Prison' after the jump.
