Moving House And Kids
May 23, 2011
Tips on moving! Have you moved across country / to a different country? With a wife and two kids? How did you organize it? I am looking for specific things that we need to add to our checklist / to-do list. Are there any good checklists out there already? We will need to line up housing. What did you forget about? What did you do that you shouldn't have done. How do you line up housing when your thousands of miles away. Specific packing / organization tips? I would like to prevent this move from becoming stressful. Please help our family move with the least amount of pain. Moving to Austin Texas if it matters.

The best move advice that I ever got was to frontload the time without your stuff.
Specifically, if you're going to be without your stuff for 1-2-3 weeks, you should have that time happen when you're still in your old place.
This way, you already know the lay of the land - where the local pharmacy and grocery stores are, what parks your kids like AND you have an established network of friends and neighbors from whom you can borrow things.

We did this with our 2-year-old and borrowed an airbed and a card table/chairs, kept a set of plates/silverware/cups that we got rid of on our last day, brought our wireless router and sheets with us in our luggage. We gave away our pillows on the last day too. We had a pot in our luggage.
Our trip was tough because we were leaving a warm climate and moving to a cold one. So I shipped out coats/sweaters/etc and ordered things on Amazon to arrive the day that we got there -- cat litter, TP, paper towel, kid snacks, new silverware and plates.
We immediately bought an airbed, pillows, sheets, card table/chairs.
We stayed in a hotel one night - mainly because our flight got in pretty late - because we didn't want to mess with setting up an airbed while tired.
Our stuff came about 5 days later, as per our plan of frontloading the moving company. It worked out well.

In terms of keep and move versus buying a new one.
Our move was paid for by one of our new jobs. Even so, I had an attitude of "why keep this $12 trash can when we can buy a new one in new location?" while we were packing. I thought that I was being smart. (And I was on a purging spree).
Well, upon arrival in new location, we easily spend a few thousand bucks on a bunch of stuff that we gave away in old location that we could have possibly kept (fan, bathmat, mop, curtain rods...)
Considering that we had our move paid for, we could have just kept the old stuff and saved ourselves money.
I don't know if your move is being paid for, and as I recall you're moving from a different country, so it might be more expensive. Either way, I'd sit down and think about how much everything is valued and if it is worthwhile to keep something versus buy new.
This question
(which belonged to me) was incredibly helpful.

One suitcase for each person packed with a set of sheets, a set of towels, toiletries and other necessities, necessary lovies for the kids and some toys, and several days of clothes. Even a pillow in the suitcase if it's very big, or take some pillows with you in the car, or a big box labeled PILLOWS or something ... anyway, know where to find the pillows.
I always have the beds placed first and have one person make the beds. Toiletries and towels into the bathroom. That way when people get tired you can take showers and go to bed. And wake up and have clothes. Most everything else you can deal with (you can always eat out, order pizza, get take-out, buy paper plates to tide you over), but beds, baths, and clothes are pretty necessary.
Last move I made I got flourescent office labels in addition to the "KITCHEN" and "BATH" and so forth labels for the movers. Anything with a bright pink label was "unpack/place first" -- dishes, computer stuff, stuff that other stuff lives in or on, a box of favorite entertainment items/books to read next, towels, etc. Bright yellow was "unpack second" -- books, DVDs, out-of-season clothes, etc. Bright green was "unpack third" -- out-of-season sports equipment, Christmas decorations, sewing machine, whatever. Things that were going to be stored half the year anyway or whatever. That was surprisingly helpful. We got all the "pink" boxes and items unpacked/placed right away, and then we could take our time with the rest, and it helped things move in an orderly fashion.

I moved across country with 3 kids 3 or younger. First thing we did was determine a general area to live. Then we researched schools. Then housing. We were recommended a Realtor that gave us a lot of local advise and contacts such as handyman, plumber, electrician, and the like. One thing that really helped us meet people was joining a local swim club. We moved in the summer before school (pre-school) started and before most mommy and me classes were going so meeting folks was harder yet they were all sitting by the kiddie pool at the local club. We had our kids stay with the grandparents for a week at the beginning while I unpacked the necessary things. We unpacked the kid's rooms first. Packing the kids stuff in clearly labeled boxes with toys and books separated out for easy access was important. Also, if you use pro movers, labeling the boxes with names of rooms and then having them put the box in the appropriate room when they arrive was a big help. Moving boxes from room to room sucks.
One thing that we did not do that I would do next time is analyze the cost of moving things like a couch versus buying one when we got here. We had a company paying for the move so the cost was not as big a factor, but it turns out that it may have been cheaper to make different decisions with respect to some of the old furniture we had. Also, we would have shipped books via book rate if we had been paying ourselves.
We were moving enough including putting two cars inside the moving van that we were the only items on the truck. We got the cell phone number of the driver so we could contact him and find out where he was and what his timing was for arriving.
Also, inspect your stuff when it arrives. No matter how careful movers are, things do get damaged. The time to make a claim is when it arrives. Furniture broken or the like. Take pictures of items before they are loaded onto the truck and you have a reference for insurance purposes.

When the mover does a final check of the truck and finds an oddly shaped thing that you don't recognize and he asks if it's yours, say yes. A week later, when you find out that one of the hand grips on the rocking horse is missing, it'll be too late to get it back.
Furniture arranging: if you're able to line up housing before you move, try to get exact room measurements (including the length of the odd short bits of wall; and if you have floor heat registers, add them to the floor plan). Measure the footprint of all the furniture you're taking with you. Then, make a scale drawing of the rooms and of the furniture footprints (either on Photoshop or on paper) and play with moving all the furniture around. You get to try out different arrangements without lifting all the physical furniture. The final result won't exactly match reality, but it will be close and only need some tweaking.

I asked
a similar question
a few years ago about finding a checklist. Someone linked to a Canada Post site that seems to now be gone but
here is an archived page
. I used to basically live in Seattle and Vermont so I did the x-country move once or twice a year on a smaller scale. My biggest pieces of advice would be
- If you want to minimize pain, seriously do the "sell everything and buy new things" approach for most stuff. This may cost you some money as k8t says but it is great for minimizing hassle
- Have a clipboard list with a list of what is in boxes [generally speaking] and have boxes just lettered A, B, C
- Have one or two "unpack first" boxes - you will need a shower curtain and towels and toilet paper and a bar of soap and some basic eating utensils and a trash bag for the first three hours, comfy bedding for the first night, familiar toys for the kids
- Carry really fragile stuff in the car with you if you're driving.
- If you can mail some other stuff in advance to friends or work it can also help you have some stuff when you get there
- Don't leave anything behind to get later
I stayed in a delightful Austin teeny AirBnB place when I was there for SXSW. If you'd like a place to arrive/crash that isn't a super8, drop me a note.

Liquidate EVERYTHING that you can. ie. SELL ALL YOUR SHIT.
That GREATLY reduces the stress of the actual move.
If there is stuff you want to keep for sentimental, or whatever reasons...fine. But, you just don't need to bring your aunt's fine china when you first arrive in austin. Pack it up...and have someone send it out later when its presence won't be a burden.
Memail me for loads of advice. We basically planned it 3-4 months in advance (and it looks like you are right on track).
The most important thing is to be able to differentiate the important from the unimportant.

I moved from New York to Seattle with a husband, a cat, and one kid. It went like this:
The cat went first, flying with my wonderful in-laws. He stayed with them until we got settled.
We had movers in NYC pack up our stuff and store it, other than the essentials we packed in two enormous suitcases.
From NYC we arranged a short-term, furnished apartment in Seattle with an Internet connection so we had a place to move to. I found out the address ahead of time so we could do change of address forms.
We picked out a car (test drove in NYC) and ordered it from a auto dealer near SeaTac.
Our plane landed in the evening, so we spent the first night in a motel near the airport.
Mr Corpse walked to the car dealer from the motel our first day and drove it back to the motel, then we drove to the short-term rental.
After we found a normal rental we got the movers to bring our stuff there.
Important tip: you can't start packing too early.

Interesting timing as we just said farewell to close friends moving from the East Coast to Austin, just last night.
We made the move from Southern California.
The cost of our move was covered, but recommending what many others have already said - get rid of as much stuff as you can. Since making the 'big move' we've done three smaller moves since, and we found lots of boxes that were never opened in eight years! Hauled, carted, stowed, and re-hauled - all for no reason.
We had a family of three, the spouse and child went to visit her parents abroad for a few weeks while I did the final packing / cleaning, and then the initial settling in. Not for everyone but I was happy to handle the stresses of all that myself, also it reduced the burden of having the majority of your belongings in-transit.
For housing we found a rental house for 18 months until we could zero-in on exactly the neighborhood we wanted to settle down in. YMMV with moving twice, for us it was totally worth it. Hard to judge what a neighborhood is like with a weekend or two visiting temporarily. We had one weekend (paid-for) to visit and find housing; made a flurry of phone calls / emails via Craigslist for rental house showings, about six weeks prior to our target 'move date'. Ended up renting a place close to some friends in the area, which certainly their proximity was a godsend while we lived nearby.
Saved a bunch of money picking up free moving boxes off of Craigslist; you have to move quickly though!
can help with choosing a professional mover; we had several very competitive bids.
(where you pack it / unpack it yourself) is another option. We found that the 'u-pack / they haul' large standard moving boxes were surprisingly expensive and not cost-effective. We ended up with United, and they were great.
Looking over my files, here's one
, here's
, and here's a useful ask.mefi
. Accessing these resources and taking heed to a lot of this advice meant that there were no regrets (at least that I can remember now!)

Moved across the country with 3 kids under 3. Based on what we did right and wrong: Get rid of as much crap before you leave as possible. Try to move boxes directly into the new house in their proper rooms. If you have a spare room, attic or basement, do not under any circumstances plan move all your stuff into that room and unpack from that room over time. Carry with you personally what you need physically and psychologically for say 2 weeks (even if your stuff is only supposed to be 2 days of a gap). Do NOT label more than one box "misc. items" (or equivalent). Pack an 'open first' box with a roll of toilet paper, and other items you think you might need relatively quickly.

Yesterday, Eric Holder appeared on Meet the Press to announce the next step in America's ever-quickening decent into a police state. With the conservatives' continuous quest for the reversal of civil liberties in favor of control from above, (which, in an Orwellian twist of fate, is something they seem to rage against at the same time) we again discover a "need" to fix something that has not been broken and is well documented as working. The next sorry step we find ourself at is the beginning of the destruction of Miranda rights.
Mr. Holder has uttered a vague and ominous decree that Miranda rights need to be "more flexible" for terrorism suspects. No, I don't know what this administration plans to do and there is an importance in waiting to find out, but we need to understand what this can mean. As Cynthia Kouril at firedoglake.com points out, "a Miranda warning is not transubstantiation." It does not suddenly create rights, it only reminds those of the rights they already have upon arrest. So does Mr. Holder mean to say that reading a suspect this Miranda warning will become more flexible (as in whether it needs to be done), or is he actually saying that the rights conferred upon suspects will become "more flexible"?
As I understand rights, they are binary and either exist or don't. So it isn't out of the realm of possibility that our attorney general is toying with removing our rights if charged with something related to terrorism – which seems to destroy any notion of due process! This begs the most important question: What is terrorism?
"Terrorism" is a word that conveniently doesn't have a permanent definition and over the course of 200 years has defined a myriad of acts. Words like "terrorist" seem rather to define in the contemporary U.S. violent political acts performed by non-whites. When the acts are performed by whites or friendly governments (and our own) those labels are rarely applied. But even if this weren't bad enough, we must return to the fact that "terrorism" is a word with a very fluid definition. Who decides what terrorism is? If it can be defined by political interests then it can be used to target you and it will be when anything you do threatens the status quo.
So what is the problem that necessitated such action? Is there a problem with the Miranda warnings? Not according to Mr. Holder who said Sunday, "The [Miranda] system we have in place has proven to be effective." And indeed he is right, those arrested and Mirandized have cooperated with investigators. The Right, who have attacked any strategy of treating those charged with terrorism as anything remotely human, seem to be fixated on television shows, comic books, and movies that depict ludicrous "ticking time-bomb" situations that just do not exist in reality. They seem to picture interrogations consisting of a terrorist twisting his mustache and laughing maniacally while taunting the investigator with threats of unparalleled destruction unless he is immediately released. Despite these delusions, Mr. Shahzad is indeed cooperating as did Mr. Mutallab. And what if they didn't cooperate? Senator Kit Bond, in arguing against Miranda warnings, actually made the case for them when he said we "have enough evidence that you could convict them" without confessions or further information. It is in their best interest to cooperate, as their court-appointed attorneys will often work to make them realize.
So while this seems to strengthen counter-terrorist efforts it is an injustice against us all. Eugene Debs recognized this as he said, "[W]hile there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free." The removal of rights against some is really the removal of rights against us all. When we work towards a better world that strives to replace the status quo, we will eventually come face to face with those that would defend the inequalities and crimes of our world. That is when, violent or not, you become the terrorist.

I, too, have an amendment I'd make. With regards to rule 4 mostly. DPS: your threat-wipes are to be used IN CONJUNCTION WITH running to the tank, NOT in exchange for. The worst thing thing you can do when a tank has no threat on the mob that's eating you is to fade(/invis/vanish/etc) and cause the healer that's been trying to keep you alive get one shotted.
Also, adding to what sentinel said: if an 'X' is marked in addition to the skull, this is typically supposed to be second to die. It amazes me how so often this is ignored (yellow goos tend to die first, even though shadow and cobalt are X and skull, respectively).

NFC South
Final Thoughts On The 2012 Atlanta Falcons
It's tough to consider a team that finished the regular season 13-3 as not having lived up to expectations. Some would say that since Atlanta finally won a post season game for the first time in nearly a decade, the season was a success. Others would argue that because of the way Atlanta finished the season, it should be considered a disappointment.
Falcons Fans: Who to Root For in Wildcard Weekend
It may not be simple, but it's straightforward: a Viking win over the Packers means Atlanta hosts Adrian Peterson and company. A win by the Packers and Atlanta will face whoever wins the Sunday match-up of the Redskins and Seahawks. But which of these three teams gives the Falcons the best chance to win? Read more to find out.
The Falcons' X-Factor For Super Bowl Success
In any competition, there's always an unknown, an X-Factor that people didn't count on. For the Falcons, with nearly the same lineups as the 2011 squad, how did they improve from 10-6 to 13-3 this season? What was their X-Factor?
Muscle Hamster Runs Over Falcons, Abraham And Robinson Injured
Finishing the regular season 3-3 against the NFC South, expect a lot of questions for the next two weeks about the Falcons still being a one-and-done Playoff team or if they will finally get over the hump.
Three Atlanta Falcons To Play In Pro Bowl
The last time the Falcons had a 13-3 season, they sent nine players to the Pro Bowl. Even though Atlanta could end up with a better record than that, it isn't showing up as far as Pro Bowl selections.
Hello Kitty This: Newton Dismantles Falcons
The Atlanta Falcons were simply outplayed in every facet of the game against the Carolina Panthers. The only good thing about this game is that Atlanta still has four weeks before the Playoffs begin to fix the problem's this team still has.
Falcons Make Use Of Extra Days, Prepare For Round Two Against Carolina
It's a tradeoff: on one hand you have just three days to prepare for a game on Thursday, but on the other hand once that game is over, you have ten days to prepare for the next one. Will Atlanta make use of the extra days of rest and preparation?
Atlanta Clinches NFC South Title, No Plans To Take Final Four Games Lightly
As a twist on the famous Shakespeare quote: To bench or not to bench? That is the question that plagues many an NFL head coach once his team's place in the NFL Playoffs is determined. Just don't expect Atlanta to follow the norm.
With Atlanta's Division Title, NFC Playoff Picture Now A Little Clearer
With a quarter of the season still left to play, the seeding in the NFL Playoffs has started to take shape. Atlanta has guaranteed at least one home game but of course is looking for the number one seed in the NFC.
Falcons' Third Quarter Report Card
In the span of four quick weeks, Atlanta saw its franchise-record winning streak end, Matt Ryan setting an infamous career pass record and ended an NFL record. To say the newsworthy moments this past month have been fast and furious is an understatement. Now with four games left, how have the Falcons been doing so far?

Wednesday's TUF brought in 870,000 viewers, up 14 percent from last week. I will check, but I think that's the second highest rated show in the station's history, helped by a lot of NFL promotion Sunday.
Last week's show also did 300,000 more viewers over the next three days on DVR viewing. That may not be good for advertisers, since those on delay may skip commercials, but for building the show and the PPV, it's very significant.

5 of the weirdest dating advice column questions
Should I be honest about my identity?
Advice columnist Dr. Cary received a strange question from a phone-sex operator. "I met this guy on the phone line five years ago," Telephone Temptress wrote.
Video: Biggest couple turn-ons
"He is very much in love with my character … the problem is I don't look anything like the character." She wondered whether she should quit her job and her relationship or just tell her telephone lover the truth.
Dr. Cary's straightforward answer: "I suggest you quit and move!"

Is breaking wind a deal breaker?
So Incredibly Humiliated wrote into Slate's "Dear Prudence" column to reveal an embarrassing post-coital situation with her boyfriend. She wrote: "We made love and fell asleep naked next to each other. Then, in the middle of the night, I woke up to the sound of my own fart ... I'm sure he heard it, because he is a light sleeper. I don't know if I should talk about it … What should I do?"
Prudie advised the gassy gal to put the incident behind her. "It's not worth mentioning," she responded. Perhaps earplugs would also help.
Is my cat gay?
The late and legendary advice columnist Abigail Van Buren received some doozies over the years.
Video: Silly sex euphemisms
One question involved the sexual orientation of a jaguar. A couple attempted to breed their exotic cat, but to their dismay, he wasn't interested in his arranged partner. "My wife says she thinks our cat is a homosexual," Serious in Florida wrote. "Abby, have you ever heard of a gay cat? I'd really like to know."
Abby consulted a veterinarian who told her, simply, "some cats refuse to breed in captivity." Gay or straight, even jaguars need a little romance.
Is he dating his sister?
Poor Second to His Sister. She was so excited about her "amazing and sweet" boyfriend of six months—until she met his sibling. "He constantly had his arm around her or was holding her hand (and sometimes mine, simultaneously)," the girlfriend wrote to The Frisky's Wendy Atterberry. "The 'pet name' that he calls me turned out to be a variation on his nickname for her." What's more, the boyfriend used his "flirtatious moves" on his sister, too. "Play wrestling, tickling, picking me up, etc. were also things that he did with her! It felt … bizarre."
How did Wendy tackle this one? "You can only hope that in expressing your discomfort, he will say something to put you at ease and change his behavior," she advised.
Should guys knit?
Another "Dear Abby" gem involved a young girl concerned with her crush's knitting hobby. "I would really like to get to know him better but my dorm sisters tell me there must be something wrong with him. Can a boy be normal and knit in public?"
"He certainly can," Abby responded. "And any male who knits in public is obviously masculine enough to defend himself."

Thanks for posting thebusyeducator site -- I just read the 100+
pages (downloaded for free), and found some EXCELLENT
explanations of the subtle things that good teachers do on a
moment-to-moment basis in the classroom.
However, I disagree strongly with a few of Plevin's suggestions.
1) He suggests that a teacher should constantly question
students, calling on them to keep them on their toes. BOO! I
suggest that teachers should avoid this strategy at all costs,
because it creates a constant sense of tension (aka "danger") in
the room. Therefore, it directly interferes with a truly Safe
and Supportive environment.
I would suggest setting the students up for success, saying
something like, "Turn to your neighbor and see if you guys can
do this problem: What is the square root of 49 times 3 divided
by 2. Go!" Then, after giving them time, ask the question, "So,
did anyone come up with an answer they'd like to share?" This
sort of strategy will keep the kids far more engaged than the
traditional teacher-led Q & A, and will give them a safe way to
successfully share.
2) He suggests using what Alfie Kohn calls "seductive praise," a
method whereby the teacher looks for people to praise, and then
praises them in the hopes that other students will want some of
that praise, too ... and will choose similar 'good' behavior.
I say that this method is manipulative and unnecessary.
3) A related point is that Plevin gives a lot of teacher-centric
language ("I really like that, Tommy."), thus reinforcing this
notion that the teacher is the one to please.
I suggest that the teacher focus on what the student has done
successfully, rather than constantly introducing the fact the
teacher does or does not like it. "Wow, Tommy, your use of
shading in that portrait is quite complex. You really captured
that mood you were talking about wanting to explore! Good for
you, man. Good for you."
But the download is worth reading overall!
All my best,

Business Ideas in the News / January 9, 2012
Leading greeting card publisher and franchisor, Card Connection, has today announced that its Middlesbrough and Darlington Franchise area has been offered for sale. Having been in operation since October 1995, this franchise offers the chance to earn an income from day one by buying an established and profitable business, while also joining one of the UK's most successful franchises.
"Because Card Connection's franchise network in the UK and Ireland is complete, the only available opportunities now consist of acquiring an already-established business from an existing franchisee," explains Andrew Cutler sales and franchise director, Card Connection. "This territory is only on the market due to the retirement of the current franchisees and therefore represents an exciting prospect for someone looking to run their own franchise business.

Fall Garlic Fun on the Farm
Posted by James Eisenstein on 11/14 at 10:00 AM
It is now late fall on the farm, and the last vegetables have been harvested. Time to sit by the fire, do our nails, and dream of spring, right? Yes? Shows how much you know about life on an organic vegetable farm.
Now is the time to plant next year's garlic. Notice the nifty planting grid our intrepid intern Hannah is using to make sure the cloves are properly spaced. If you squint and look at the front of the wooden form, you'll discover both some intact garlic bulbs and some individual cloves ready to stick into the soil.
We use a special system for breaking out the individual cloves from the garlic bulbs. It consists of scratching with a fingernail where the stem comes out, peeling off some of the outer skin, muttering, and grunting. Somebody should really invent a machine for this.
We planted about 1,800 bulbs on last Thursday to complete about one-third of the planned crop.
It is satisfying work, bolstered by the knowledge that our CSA (weekly harvest share) and Farmers Market customers will reap all the benefits of garlic breath next year. Just get them into the ground, mulch them if you have time, hoe them regularly next year, and enjoy a big harvest next July.
But do you remember farming's central motto? "It's always something." All we need is good weather (no problem there, as this year's extremely cold, wet spring, July with no rain, and floods for most of the rest of the fall attest). Oh, and find the time to cut off the garlic scapes so the crop doesn't go to seed and produce teensy bulbs. Only then is it time to sit back and watch our bumper crop flourish.
Well, not quite. Here is an excerpt from Field Commander John's last newsletter to his CSA customers: "I spent a very unpleasant evening yesterday learning about the horribly destructive garlic bloat nematode, Canada's latest gift to the U.S. and my least favorite Canadian import after Molson Light. Unknown in this region even two years ago, it is now wreaking havoc all over the place. Every year it seems there is one (or more) new difficulty to deal with, part of the wonderful adventure of discovery that is farming. Between these nematodes and the Mexican bean beetle, I'm beginning to really regret the NAFTA treaty."
Our little bloat nematode friends wiped out a good portion of our garlic crop this year. This fall's planting pretty far away from last year's planting, and we are devising several nifty incantations to keep them away from next year's crop. Wish us luck!
We are not finished harvesting either. Both our high tunnel and greenhouse have hardy greens growing (including kale, bok choi, tat-soi, mache, and even a little spinach), and some hardy plants are still alive and growing in our fields under row cover. Spare time is being spent on writing an ever expanding "to do" list.

Hi James, glad to hear you have some ideas in place to prevent bloat nematode next year. It's no fun stuff to deal with. I use fresh garlic from my garden in many of my dishes, and losing a big portion of my crop would be devastating. So far I've been lucky, but it does make you worry! Please, keep us posted on how your harvest goes next year. Best of luck!

Top 10 K-Pop Music Videos on Youtube for the first half of 2012
The world's largest video site, Youtube, has released a list of the top 10 K-Pop music videos for the first half of 2012 counting international and domestic (in Korea only) views.
In the first half of this year for international views, the most popular K-Pop music videos came from Big Bang. They recorded the highest number of hits for Fantastic Baby, Blue (2nd) and Bad Boy (4th). Girls' Generation's subunit debut single, Twinkle, followed in at third.
In June, Big Bang's special edition album "STILL ALIVE" was released and their title song Monster also ranked sixth on the global ranking. Big Bang has set a record for having 4 music videos in the top 10 global list. Included also in the rankings is f(X)'s Electric Shock which was released in early June, and only a month later, ranked fifth on the chart. Next are SHINee's Sherlock, the Wonder Girls' Like This, and 4Minute's Volume Up.
For the domestic views, the list is slightly different. Most domestic users during the first half of this year watched Sistar's Alone. Their sensual images and choreography received attention helping their domestic hit. Taetiseo's (Girls' Generation subunit) Twinkle, was second on the list, followed by the Wonder Girls Like This. Big Bang's Blue and Fantastic Baby ranked 4th and 5th respectively on the national chart, and f(x)'s Electric Shock followed in 6th. T-ara's Lovey Dovey was also included in the ranking, while rising group Busker Busker's Cherry Ending ranked ninth.
Google Korea's managing director Seo Hwang Guk said, "K-Pop has already established itself as a genre worldwide that people enjoy. A variety of K-pop and other genres are being introduced on Youtube, and this allows for more domestic and foreign users to exchange content and spread the influence of K-pop. This steady wave is expected to be sustained."

According to Bloomberg, the decline in 2007 compared to 2006 is 3%. Modest over-year, yes. But the setback experienced in the credit markets because of the subprime crisis has created a real break. Thus, in the first half, a record 616 billion euros had been issued against 285 in the second half. For companies that have made the leap since August, the rising cost of money, after an incredibly positive it is true, is clear. For example, GlaxoSmithKline has sold 3.5 billion euros of debt to ten years by paying a risk premium of 115 basis points six times over two years ago, reports Bloomberg. 2008 promises to do much better, at least for the first month. Volatility remains high, a sign of extreme nervousness persists. Above all, the rating agencies which reassess in depth since the fall of many of their analysis do not expect a good year. Standard Poor's thinks so degraded more companies in 2003 than it will reassess. A first since 2003, when Enron had caused a great shock to the debt markets.
J. Van Ruymbeke will investigate suspicions of obstructing justice and perjury in the case of the attack of 2002. But any retrocommissions to finance the campaign of 1995 Balladur will not be taken into account.
The Minister of Agriculture, Bruno Le Maire, has announced a plan to aid of 330 million euros, of which 30 million will be paid immediately. Measures that have not been unanimous and angered nearly 500 farmers in Rennes.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I had a long discussion with some friends about these stats the other day, when they first started making rounds on the net. We basically came away with what I believe to be 3 very valid points:
1) Warlocks are amazing in PvP... as long as they can be kept alive.
2) A DK/Pally combo is so strong, that any other DPSer thrown into the mix will do fairly well -- but Warlocks complete the trio amazingly well due to DoT dmg and a spammable Fear.
3) Warlocks are fine... minimal changes are required at best (something I really believe to be true).
Shamans are the healers of choice for many Warlocks atm, btw. But really, a good Holy Pally is hard to beat.

My lesbian girlfriend has never been with a man and doesn't want to be...but I like cock too...so I make her participate in my fun, to prove that she loves me. She has to fluff/suck his cock for me. She has to 'fluff' my pussy with his cock & balls right there...she has to guide his cock into my pussy...all of this is difficult & humiliating for her...she watches me enjoy that nice big, thick cock, something she's not able to give me...she sucks my pussy juices off of that thick cock and then the ultimate humiliation: she had to clean up the creampie! (100% real cum in pussy creampie, something VERY RARE in my vids these days.). As if that all wasn't enough, I also make her give herself an orgasm while looking at the cock that just fucked her girlfriend.

Adoption Subsidies
Adoption subsidies, also known as Adoption Assistance Payments (AAP), are offered by all states to assist adoptive parents manage living and care costs for children with special needs adopted through the U.S. foster care system, and in some instances, adopted privately (domestic only). Federal subsidies are not available to children adopted internationally.
Each state sets its own subsidy rates, definition of "special needs," and process for negotiating and re-negotiating subsidy amounts, within the framework of the federal Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act. Yes - parents can negotiate prior to adoption and re-negotiate rates at later dates, depending on changing needs of their child.
Payments generally continue until a child reaches 18; however there are circumstances where they can be extended to age 21. If adoptive parents die, payments stop. They also stop if parents are no longer legally responsible for the child, as in the case of emancipation of a minor, a legal process in which the minor child becomes legally responsible for her/himself.

This Is The Era Of The Storyworld
By Ted Hope
One-off film is a fool's errand. When the biggest challenge before filmmakers is not creating great work, or getting good work financed, but actually getting people to watch interesting and ambitious cinema, we must recognize that practices and processes must change.
As I like to stress, the only sane response to an overabundance of leisure time options in general and media in particular, is for filmmakers to be even more prolific and ubiquitous. As a creator if you want to improve your chances of your work finding an audience you need to increase the opportunity people have to discover your work. You need to have more work in more places. You need to connect that work with multiple audiences and vice versa. You have to also facilitate deeper engagement with that work and hopefully be able to sustain that work. It's a hefty order I know.
One-off film is what the film industry and culture has been uniformly based on, with the exception of Hollywood's obsession with franchises. Sequels and their ilk serve to increase awareness of that tale. One film's marketing positions the next in the series. But these are just serials. They are rarely multiple platform efforts, or if they are, the story and content is generally just repurposed for that platform, not respecting that platforms bring different contexts, audiences, and practices with them.
I look at storyworlds as multiple and cross platform plays, that allow for multiple forms of engagement, participation, collaboration, and even authorship. Storyworlds can apply to both fiction and nonfiction, and they don't have to be consistently narrative. They are perfect for this digital time when completion is yesterday's way and today we can revise, re-iterate, and consistently experiment and adapt.
I recognize that many use "storyworld" as a term to sum up a more comprehensive narrative world, but I find it an apt term for cinema and its extensions that share a thematic but is spread across multiple platforms. I find it a more audience-friendly term that transmedia or cross platform. People don't know what they want if they can't define it. They need a name they like to articulate their desire and I can't picture people every saying with a straight face that they are looking to go deep into a transmedia experience. Okay, "storyworlds" may not be much better, but they are preferable for me. When I hear storyworld I see a sphere before me, not a line or an object but an entire universe, complex and intricate but yet a simple beauty.
My wife Vanessa Hope is also a filmmaker. When she was 18 she decided to move to China. She studied the language. She studied the culture. She studied the politics. For years she was an academic, doing a dissertation in anthropology with a focus on Chinese cinema. After producing a couple of excellent films, both of which got into Sundance, she recognized the time was right to direct her own film, and of course she wanted to focus on China, and namely the effects of our diplomatic policy these last forty years. It is not a small subject, nor an easy one to tell. She had to follow many story lines, some that ultimately did not fit into the feature. She also had to confront that the subject was in a constant state of change — yet she remained fascinated by this marriage of two nations that has profound ramifications for everyone.
Vanessa filmed and she filmed and she filmed. She edited and she edited and she edited. Neither one ever seemed like it would come to an end. And know what? I don't think that it should. Vanessa recognized that she wasn't make a film. Vanessa recognized she was building a STORYWORLD. We may have two features. We have perhaps as many as thirty online shorts to make. We just premiered the first festival short, CHINA IN THREE WORDS, at the Palm Springs International Short Film Festival. And we just launched what we hope to build into a collaborative web-based creative community on the subject ChinaUSA.me. Right now, it is just a mailing list sign up, but we plan to evolve. And can with your help.
To me, what we should be trying to make is not just features, but work that has multiple extensions, web series, festival shorts, and participatory/collaborative websites. We should find things to build together. Our work should continually evolve. It's form should be applicable to the platform it is on. That is a storyworld. That is storytelling for the time we are living in. Let's give it a whirl.
As we work to our goal, please let us know of any other Cbina/US themed content that captures this relationship at this time. Thanks.
And for an initial taste, here's the trailer for the festival short: http://vimeo.com/63940004Tweet

Every person to whom I've sent the Spice Girls' video for their underappreciated 1997 single "Stop" has responded with something akin to a "yay," so I figured I'd pass it along as a way to make up for both the ickiness unleashed in that previous post about the latest batch of Oprah-revealed unpleasantness and all the total bummer Sugababes news that's been breaking this week. Feel free to comment with your favorite video from the five-headed pop hydra, although anyone who tries to say that "Holler" is any good at all is fired. [Dailymotion]

The Boston Red Sox and the Portland Sea Dogs (Class AA; Eastern League) extended their player-development contract (PDC) through the 2018 season, in a deal announced tonight.
Red Sox Director of Player Development Ben Crockett and Sea Dogs Chairman Bill Burke made the announcement.
The Sea Dogs and Red Sox last extended the affiliation in January of 2011, when a two-year extension was announced, taking the contract through the 2014 season.
"As we prepare for our 20th season of Sea Dogs baseball we are thrilled to announce this new agreement," Burke said. "It is an honor to be associated with the Boston Red Sox, one of the greatest franchises in professional sports, and we are pleased to let our incredible fans know that this relationship will continue well into the future."
"We feel incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to continue the legacy our father created, and our partnership with the Red Sox is a cornerstone of that legacy," said treasurer Sally Burke McNamara. "We thank the Red Sox for the confidence they've placed in us and we will continue to do everything we can to provide them with the best possible environment to develop future big leaguers. "
"The Portland Sea Dogs and the Burke family have been tremendous partners in the development of Red Sox minor league players who have played at Hadlock Field," said Ben Crockett, Director of Player Development for the Boston Red Sox. "We are excited to extend our relationship and look forward to continued success in the future."
The Sea Dogs originally entered into a contract with the Red Sox following the 2002 season, ending a nine year affiliation with the Florida Marlins. Upon changing affiliations the Sea Dogs changed colors from teal to red and blue. Additionally, the Sea Dogs erected a likeness of Fenway Park's famed Green Monster in left field at Hadlock Field. The skyboxes at Hadlock Field were also renamed in honor of Red Sox legendary hitters.
The Sea Dogs have advanced to post-season play four times in ten seasons since becoming an affiliate of the Red Sox, including capturing their first Eastern League Championship in 2006. Sea Dogs alumni currently with the Boston Red Sox include Daniel Bard, Clay Buchholz, Felix Doubront, Jacoby Ellsbury, Jose Iglesias, Ryan Kalish, Ryan Lavarnway, Jon Lester, Will Middlebrooks, Dustin Pedroia and Junichi Tazawa.
Here's a look at the current affiliate status.

In order to obtain a clear idea of the geological relations between the various groups of eruptive rocks coming within the scope of this paper, it will be necessary to sketch briefly the leading features of the geology of the region; the more so since the connection between the intrusive and extrusive bodies must be traced across a profound fault, which has affected a large area, and has permitted subsequent erosion to expose deeply seated intruded bodies by the side of contemporaneous surface extrusions.
Electric Peak, 11,100 feet in altitude, lies on the northern boundary of the Yellowstone National Park, 10 miles from its western line. It is the highest point of that portion of the Gallatin Mountains situated within the Park limits. These mountains have been carved out of a block of sedimentary strata composed of limestones, shales, and sandstones of Paleozoic and Mesozoic age, which range from Cambrian to Cretaceous. This block, about 14 miles wide, at present occupies the trough between two great bodies of Archean rocks, and trends northwest and southeast. It has been subjected to a succession of dynamical forces, which have bent it into a general synclinal fold, the axis of which lies near the northern body of Archean, and trends northwest and southeast. They have also produced a number of smaller transverse folds and faults with a nearly north-northeast and south-southwest trend.
The general synclinal movement was accompanied by a series of intrusions of igneous rocks, which found their way between the sedimentary strata, wherever the fissile character of the beds presented planes of least resistance to the dynamical forces engaged in bending them. These intruded masses formed immense laccolites and thinner sheets, that penetrate the more fissile strata for miles, with only occasional changes of horizon.
One large body of eruptive rock is located about 4 miles southwest of Electric Peak, and appears to have been the source of a great number of the sheets, which are intercalated between the Cretaceous shales and sandstones of this mountain. As a result of the main synclinal movement the strata at Electric Peak have a general dip toward the northeast.
After the intrusion of the eruptive sheets a more local synclinal break occurred in the neighborhood of what is now Electric Peak, its axis trending northeast and southwest. The southeastern side of the fractured mass suffered the greater displacement, the strata being turned up vertically in some places. This break produced one or more large fissures and numerous smaller crevices, along which igneous rock was again forced through the shales and sandstones, in the form of a stock and dikes. The stock is located near the axis of the break, and the dikes, which are mostly vertical, branch out into the sedimentary beds for a short distance, and cut across the intruded sheets or cut between them where they had been previously turned up on end.
The igneous magmas which accompanied the convulsive movements of the ruptured strata and forced their way between them to cool as intrusive bodies, also reached the surface of the earth in places and took the form of extrusive masses. The ejected rocks were probably erupted from a number of different vents whose position was governed by the nature and extent of the fissures in the sedimentary rocks. They poured out as flows or massive eruptions and were subsequently blown to pieces and thrown into breccias and were occasionally cut by dikes. They undoubtedly formed very extensive bodies of volcanic ejectamenta which covered a large area of country.
After the intrusion of the stock and dikes just mentioned, and after the accumulation of the volcanic breccias, the region was broken by great faults. These faults trend nearly north and south and have caused great changes in the relative vertical position of the severed rocks, so that, after extensive erosion, deep-seated strata and intrusive bodies of erupted rocks are now exposed by the side of extravasated surface lavas.
The great erosion which carved the faulted blocks into the steep mountains and valleys of the Gallatin Range was followed by the eruption of the vast flows of rhyolite and less abundant basalt that form the plateau country to the south, since which time glaciation and erosion have still further modified the contour of the country.

You really don't have to tell us twice
12:51 a.m. — 7300 block of Point of Rocks Road. Suspicious Incident. A homeless man reported that the owner of a vacant house under renovation had given him permission to sleep outside the house because problems earlier had occurred on the property. Two 21-year-old men and a 19-year-old came onto the property and walked around the wooden fence that separates it from an adjoining property's clubhouse. When they walked up to the house, the homeless man confronted them. They ran away from him, then went around the fence again. The homeless man reported that he saw the three young men kick the wooden fence to get through it. The responding deputy found boards missing from the fence. However, the deputy said if the men had kicked the boards to get through the fence, the boards would have split or broken. The deputy found the boards near the fence in good condition; they just needed to be nailed back in place. The three young men said they knew the previous owner of the residence and had received permission from that person to fish on the property as well as to use it as a cut-through to the adjacent property. The men denied having taken the boards off the fence. The deputy contacted the current homeowner, who said he did not want the three young men on the property. The deputy warned them not to trespass again. The deputy also told the young men to stay away from the house because it was unsafe

Hit me with your best shot
3:10 p.m. — 600 block of Cedars Court. Battery. Two brothers got in a fight with their uncle after accepting his dare to steal a steal a shot from an outdoor bar. The shot-stealer said that his uncle punched him, and he then pushed his uncle to the ground. The man said that his uncle bit his right thumb. A witness told police that both brothers instigated the incident. Police arrested both men for domestic violence and handcuffed one man to a gurney while he was transported to a hospital for treatment. Police also completed a probable-cause affidavit charging their uncle, who was also transported to a hospital, with domestic violence. The men had been drinking all afternoon.

The scholarships were made possible through the Sheridan E. Brown Memorial Scholarship Fund. Both students plan to use the funds toward a career in music.
