Notes: Lincecum likely to be skipped
Off-days cut need for fifth starter; Aurilia hopes rest, shots help
By Chris Haft / MLB.com
SAN FRANCISCO -- Although Tim Lincecum will make his next scheduled start Monday against San Diego, Giants pitching coach Dave Righetti said Friday that the struggling rookie likely will miss his following turn in the rotation, which would give him only one more starting assignment before the All-Star break.
The combination of scheduled off-days, Lincecum's status as the team's fifth starter and the Giants' fervent desire not to watch him continue to unravel prompted the decision. With off-days slated for Thursday and July 2, San Francisco can keep the other starters on their regular four days' rest and wouldn't need Lincecum until July 7, the next-to-last game before the break.
"Unless one of the other pitchers has a problem with health, he probably will have to skip a game," Righetti said. "I plan on skipping somebody; four guys is all we're going to need with those days off. Most likely it'll be the fifth guy."
Since posting a 2-0 record and a 3.24 ERA with 22 hits allowed and 39 strikeouts in 33 1/3 innings over his first five starts, Lincecum has gone 0-2 with a 10.61 ERA, 23 hits allowed and 21 strikeouts in 22 innings through four outings.
Righetti expressed hopes that Lincecum's learning process can "slow down for him a little bit" to allow him to catch his breath, figuratively speaking. Because Lincecum's professional career began late last season, he has relatively little prior experience to tap for wisdom. As Righetti said, "There's nothing to reach back on -- 'Remember when this happened?'"
Righetti emphasized that the Giants remain confident in Lincecum.
"As long as he understands that everything's going to be the same, we're not going to panic on him," Righetti said. "We know how tough it is, but we're not going to baby him, either."
Righetti hasn't noticed any extreme mechanical problems with Lincecum, 23.
"The same thing he's doing when he was getting hit, he was doing when he was throwing it by them," Righetti said. "You just don't want him to back off."
Familiar scene: The grandstand aisles surrounding the visitors' dugout were choked with people before the Giants' Interleague series opener against the New York Yankees -- the teams' first meaningful confrontation in San Francisco since Game 7 of the 1962 World Series.
Obviously, the sight of the Yankees stretching and taking batting practice was a novel experience for their displaced fans and Bay Area residents who rarely, if ever, see the New Yorkers in the flesh.
Righetti, who pitched for the Yankees from 1979-90, understood the fascination.
"It's probably like the Original Six in hockey. Certain teams are going to have certain amounts of people always there," Righetti said, pointing out that teams such as the Cubs, Dodgers and Giants also enjoy a nationwide following. "The Yankees certainly have their share."
Asked if seeing his old club across the field felt special for him, Righetti replied, "I'd be lying if I said it doesn't."
Aurilia's pain: Infielder Rich Aurilia doesn't expect to do anything regarding his strained neck until Monday except ice the sore area, rest and undergo treatment. Aurilia also has been sleeping with a neck brace to prevent any pinched nerves from developing.
Aurilia received two injections Thursday, duplicating treatment he received before he went on the 15-day disabled list last Monday. Aurilia's hoping that the shots have a cumulative effect.
"I felt fine three days after the first shots," said Aurilia, who felt so miserable after playing last Saturday in Boston that he couldn't fall asleep until 5 a.m. "But a swing is a violent thing. When it's involving your arms, shoulders and neck, it's not going to help things."
Standup lineups: Expect the announcement of Saturday's lineups on FOX's broadcast to be funnier than usual when comedians Robin Williams and Billy Crystal do the honors. Crystal, a Yankees fan, will announce New York's lineup, while Williams will get the start opposite Crystal for the Giants.
Draft signings: The Giants signed 31 of their selections from the First-Year Player Draft earlier this month, including shortstop Nick Noonan, a "sandwich" pick who was taken 32nd overall, catcher Jackson Williams (43rd overall) and shortstop Charlie Culberson (51st).
Coming up: The Giants and Yankees continue their series Saturday at 12:55 p.m. PT. Matt Morris (7-4), the Giants' leading winner, will oppose New York right-hander Chien-Ming Wang (7-4).

- Title: As You I've Felt The Same
- Premiered: 2005-03-08
- Categories:
- Lifehouse Simon
- Anime:
This video evolves around Subaru and Kamui. I took inspiration from the Dream sequence (episode 13): they both suffered loss of a beloved one, because of one special person. So, they closed their minds, hid themselves within their hearts, "the cage", "the only place where they will leave you alone", where they think they won't feel anything at all, and stop the pain they suffer.
A couple of notes:
- "The lies they've told to you": It's Subaru saying "There's no way for everyone to have happiness". Kamui proves him that he's wrong: even dying, he's happy because he could bring back Fuuma, and live in his heart.
- My first video about Subaru where I didn't use the "Subaru-kun, boku wa...kimi o..." sequence! O_o
- My favourite parts: "Refuse to feel anything at all", and the ending, with Fuuma staying on top of the Tokyo Tower, and then all the memories of Kotori's and Hokuto's departures... ^__^
Catch your breath,
Hit the wall,
Scream out loud,
As you start to crawl,
Back in your cage,
The only place,
Where they will,
Leave you alone,
'Cause the weak will
Seek the weaker until they've broken them,
Could you get it back again?
Would it be the same?
Fulfillment to their lack of strength
At your expense,
Left you with no defense,
They tore it down.
And I have felt the same, as you I've felt the same,
As you I've felt the same
Locked inside,
The only place,
Where you feel sheltered,
Where you feel safe,
You lost yourself,
In your search to find,
Something else to hide behind,
Cause the fearful always preyed upon your confidence,
Did they see the consequence?
They pushed you around?
The arrogant build kingdoms made of the different ones,
Breaking them 'til they've become,
Just another crown,
And I have felt the same, as you I've felt the same,
As you I've felt the same, as you I've felt the same.
Refuse to feel,
Anything at all,
Refuse to slip,
Refuse to Fall,
Cant be weak,
Cant stand still,
You watch your back,
'Cause no one will,
You dont know why they had to go this far,
Traded your worth for these scars,
For you're only Company,
Dont believe the lies that they have told to you,
Not one word was true,
Youre alright you're alright
Youre all right
And I have felt the same, as you I've felt the same,
As you I've felt the same, as you I've felt the same.
Feedback is always appreciated.

This Week in DVD: Hellboy II, Kung Fu Panda, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and More
Posted on Tuesday, November 11th, 2008 by Adam Quigley
This Week in DVD is a column that compiles all the latest info regarding new DVD releases, sales, and exclusive deals from stores including Target, Best Buy, Circuit City, and Fry's.
Please don't take the commentary on the movies and TV shows too seriously, as they're meant not to be reviews but rather previews that include the general thoughts and ramblings of a twice-committed DVD addict. In regards to movies and shows the author hasn't seen, the DVD release is placed in its respective category based on critic and audience response. Those who find that approach questionable are welcome to leave a comment stating their thoughts, and we'll be happy to ignore it.
(Available as single-disc and 3-Disc Special Editions)
As much as critics may have loved Hellboy II, I felt strangely alone when proclaiming amongst fellow movie geeks that it was one of my favorite releases of 2008. Nobody was claiming it was a bad movie, but audiences just weren't all that enthusiastic about it. This is a shame since, much like the first film, this sequel managed to flawlessly combine creative and visually stunning action sequences (with a strong focus on practical effects over CGI), cool characters, and a well-told storyline that wouldn't have been nearly as interesting in another filmmaker's hands. The difference, though, is that all these things are handled even better the second time around. Hopefully it'll build a stronger following on DVD.
Blu-ray? Yes.
Notable Extras: The single disc includes an audio commentary (with director Guillermo del Toro), another audio commentary (with cast members Jeffrey Tambor, Selma Blair & Luke Gross), Set Visits, Troll Market Tour with Guillermo del Toro, Zinco Epilogue Animated Comic, and deleted scenes. The 3-disc DVD includes both the single disc extras and Hellboy: In Service of the Demon, Prologue, Production Workshop, Pre-Production Vault, Marketing Campaign, Script, and a digital copy of the film.

Where? Circuit City.
Also available is the Collector's Set ($39.99) of the DVD…
(Available as single-disc and 2-Pack with Secrets of the Furious Five)
I don't think anyone could've predicted such a silly-looking movie being as incredibly entertaining and, dare I say it, intelligent as this. Cleverly parodying the kung fu film genre, Kung Fu Panda manages to provide an easy-to-understand storyline for kids that also plays on the clichés older audiences are accustomed to seeing with such a predictable storyline. It's the rare non-Pixar film that finds the perfect balance for children and adults, complete with surprisingly badass action sequences.
Blu-ray? Yes.
Notable Extras: The single disc includes an audio commentary and featurettes ('Meet The Cast', 'The Tech of Kung Fu Panda', 'The World of Panda: Conservational International Piece'). The 2-Pack with Secrets of the Furious Five includes both the single disc extras and more featurettes ('Secrets of the Furious Five', 'The Tech of Kung Fu Panda', 'Learn To Draw', 'Sound Design', 'Learn the Panda Dance', 'Do You Kung Fu?', 'Mr. Ping's Noodle Factory', 'Chopsticks', 'Inside the Chinese Zodiac', 'Animals of Kung Fu Panda', 'What Fighting Styles are you?', 'A Day in the Life: Shaolin Monks in Training', 'KFP Shuffle').

Amazon – $15.99 |
*With the exception of Best Buy (where the price remains the same – $15.99), these prices do not include the 2-Pack with Secrets of the Furious Five, which costs $22.99 at each of the listed stores (including Amazon).
What? 3-disc pack ($22.99) includes Secrets of the Furious Five and Activision PC game.

What? Free Kung Fu Panda figurine.
Where? Best Buy.
What? Free ultimate sticker book with purchase of double-feature edition (which includes Secrets of the Furious Five) ($22.99).
Where? Circuit City.
I always feel like I should like Takashi Miike's films more than I actually do. With Sukiyaki Western Django, I found myself struggling through the borderline incomprehensible storyline and unapologetically self-referential attempts to pay homage to the western film genre, while also enjoying the hell out of the beautiful cinematography and supremely epic shoot outs and battle sequences. And yet, even after saying "holy shit that was awesome" to myself for about the fifteenth time, I somehow still found myself occasionally getting bored.
Blu-ray? Yes.
Notable Extras: Deleted scenes and a making-of featurette.
Target | Best Buy | Circuit City | Fry's |
Amazon – $19.99 |
Obviously I'm not the target audience for this film (read: I'm white), but as a fan of Mekhi Phifer, Delroy Lindo and Idris Elba (who plays Stringer Bell on The Wire), I may just end up checking it out anyway. If you're in a holiday mood and are looking for a good movie to watch with the family (and don't mind dealing with the expected genre clichés), this looks like it could make for a heartwarmingly pleasant rental.
Blu-ray? Yes.
Notable Extras: Audio Commentary, deleted/extended scenes, and a making-of featurette.
Target | Best Buy | Circuit City | Fry's |
$19.99 | $17.99 | $19.99 | |

I would love to bitch-slap George Lucas. His eagerness to destroy the legacies of the franchises fans hold so dear to their hearts is sickening. This has never been more evident than with The Clone Wars, a CGI precursor to a Cartoon Network TV show that was originally meant to air on television. Now, I haven't yet seen the film (the horrible reviews haven't offered a whole lot of incentive), but only a real douchebag would take something that's clearly suited specifically for TV and force it into theatres, thus fooling unaware audience members into emptying their pockets for what they're assuming is a legitimate theatrical release.
Blu-ray? Yes.
Notable Extras: The single disc includes only an audio commentary, while the two-disc includes that as well as featurettes ('The Clone Wars: The Untold Stories', 'The Voices of The Clone Wars', ' The New Score', 'Webdocs'), deleted scenes, concept/production art gallery, a Hologram Memory Challenge, and a digital copy of the film.
Target | Best Buy | Circuit City | Fry's |

*Does not include 2-Disc Edition, which costs $22.99 at each of the listed stores (including Amazon).
What? 2-Disc Deluxe ($22.99) and Blu-ray ($26.99) include exclusive Red Clone packaging and Shipyards of Doom 96-pg. graphic novel.
Where? Target.
What? Exclusive Steelbook for 2-Disc Edition ($22.99).
Where? Best Buy.
Whereas This Christmas represents a respectable effort geared towards urban audiences, The Perfect Holiday shows us the exact opposite. I caught about fifteen minutes of the film in theaters while waiting for another movie to start, and was appalled by just how bland, unfunny and poorly made it was. Movies like this are the reason films featuring primarily African American casts struggle to get any respect in the film world. Tyler Perry isn't helping either.
Blu-ray? Yes.
Notable Extras: Filmmakers' commentary, a featurette ('Wish List: A Perfect Holiday in the Making'), and video diaries ('7 Days on the Set of Perfect Holiday').

Reply to: | meaning of Shreyan by Manish |
The name is unfamiliar, and the exact form is unknown to me in Sanskrit.However, there is a set of words shrI, shrA, shrai, which seems to have originally meant something like to mix, boil, cook etc. I do not know the exact relation between this cluster of meanings, but one of them shrI soon picked up the additional meaning of `to diffuse light' and thence to light,lustre, glory, beauty and thence to prosperity, high rank etc. It was, for example, used as the name of the goddess of wealth, and is still used as the honorific (equivalent of Mr. or Sir in English), with a connotation of someone who is good and holy.
There is a word shreYas which, in form, is the comparative from shrI, and is usually parsed as beautiful, propicious, blissful, fortunate, happy, etc. A possible etymological reflex of this word in Greek, κρείων, means lord or master. This word could mean most blessed or favorable, and the feminine form, shreYA is used as a name.
Shreyan is not a form of this word that I recognize. However, it is completely possible that this is used in some modern Indian language, and is considered a form of the Sanskrit shreyas.

This reissue commemorates the 50th anniversary of Grainger's death in February 1961. Harmonium, four guitars, two mandolas, two mandolins, two ukuleles, piccolo, three clarinets, bass clarinet, bassoon, contrabassoon, two alto saxophones, horn, strings, piano, baritone and choir: and that's just the scoring for one piece, the famous sea shanty Shallow Brown. Grainger's Jungle Book cycle is here recorded for the first time. The eleven contrasting movements vividly portray the sentiments of Kipling's poetry and Grainger wrote of the cycle that it was 'composed as a protest against civilization'.

I can describe ten things I know about the US, and ten more about the world from memory..and I am betting that you cannot even tell me ten things about Ao Te Aroa without getting a book or Google open. I am betting you have no idea what Ao Te Aroa even IS, let alone a marae.
I will put my knowledge of the USA, and the rest of the world, against your insular and narrow minded view of your own pig wallow and little else, any day of the week.

08-28-2008, 06:20 PMThese idiots have been charged with drug and weapons charges. They have not been charged with an assassination plot. Got it, moron. One of them was released on a $10k bond. A lefty Denver judge would not have allowed bond period if he perceived the threat was real. Do you know who Robert Jewell is dummie?

Stack drill made for aerospace composite/titanium stacks
A new stack drill from Kennametal for aerospace composite/titanium stacks can operate with or without through-coolant for chip evacuation. The B55_DAL drill handles CFRP-metal stacks in hole diameters from 0.1875 to 0.625 in.
The drill can be applied in all combinations of stacks: CFRP-titanium-aluminum, CFRP-titanium, CFRP-aluminum, and straight titanium or aluminum. Its double-angle point design allows excellent centering capability, and the sharp edge cuts and exits cleanly without burrs, says the manufacturer.
Several diameter and length variations are available for all holemaking operations, including those using robots or automated drilling units.

The Brown Derby, Southern Pacific night train, Hollywood Bowl, Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe, the Three Stooges — don't say Los Angeles doesn't have history. The past might not be as deep and faded as in some places, but it's there.
1. The start of Westwood and Santa Monica Boulevard, 1922
If you're not following the Twitter account of historian Michael Beschloss, stop reading right now and go there first. We'll wait for you. OK, you're back? Good. Beschloss took to Twitter just last year, but he's a natural at the medium. Throughout the day he posts historic photo after historic photo, some having to do with current events, other just being generally interesting. A lot of the photos focus on NYC and DC, but the City of Angels makes an occasional cameo.
Here we present eighteen historic photos of Los Angeles from his Twitter feed. Grab us a steak sandwich at the Brown Derby while you're there.
2. Hollywood, viewed southwest from Laughlin Park, 1905
3. This has been called earliest known photograph of Los Angeles, taken about 1862
4. Nighttime WWII epic staged at the Hollywood Bowl to sell War Bonds, 1944
5. Helen Keller in Hollywood, being asked by Charlie Chaplin if she likes him, 1918
6. Dedication of LAX, complete with a flock of biplanes, 1930
7. Newly-built Los Angeles City Hall, buzzed by a Ford Tri-Motor airplane, 1928
8. Richard Steinheimer's Southern Pacific night train, Glendale, 1950
9. Beverly Hills, 1937

Weight gain is a possible side effect of nearly all antidepressants. However, each person responds to antidepressants differently. Some people gain weight when taking a certain antidepressant, while others don't.
Generally speaking, some antidepressants seem more likely to cause weight gain than others. These include:
While some people gain weight after starting an antidepressant, the antidepressant isn't always a direct cause. Many factors can contribute to weight gain during antidepressant therapy. For example:
If you gain weight after starting an antidepressant, discuss the medication's benefits and side effects with your doctor. If the benefits outweigh the side effect of weight gain, consider managing your weight by eating healthier and getting more physical activity while enjoying an improved mood due to the medication.
You can also ask your doctor if adjusting the dose or switching medications might be helpful — but again, be sure to discuss the pros and cons before making such a decision.

Advent and Christmas Stories
This illustrated treasury of over fifty stories, verses, songs and puppet plays range from Advent and the Twelve Days of Christmas, to the flight into Egypt. Estelle Bryer and Janni Nicol tell their favorite Christmas stories with an approach that is both simple and profound. They draw on their lifelong experience as Waldorf kindergarten educators, puppeteers, and as mothers. These stories will delight young children, and invite parents and teachers to become more confident storytellers.
Estelle Bryer and Janni Nicol offer a treasury of Christmas stories that create a peaceful, enfolding space for our children, where wonder can do its healing work. Each of these tales inspires us to take a deep, fulfilling breath of imagination and let Christmas radiance grow in our eyes, words and hearts. They lead us beyond the ordinary laws of nature into the truth of miracles and wonders: we discover the holiness of rabbits and birds, turtles and trees as they guide the holy family.
Nancy Mellon, author of Storytelling with Children
Warm, wonderful, delightful! Highly recommended!
The Shifty Lad
Shifty Lad is sort of a Loki/Coyote figure who comes creating mischief, but also with wondrous stories to tell, so wondrous that they even save his life. In these tales of roguery and cunning, we learn about his childhood, how he longed to become a thief (and became one!), and his life as a villain of the highways and byways. We learn how he outwitted the Dark Stranger, and how his gift of storytelling saved his own life.
And, we get to hear his stories, collected by P. L. Snow from the Celtic cultures of Scotland, Ireland and Wales. They are beautiful, traditional folktales that speak of human nature and touch our hearts with laughter and tears. This is a great collection of timeless tales wrapped in Shifty Lad's delightful story - a real treat!
Ages 8 to adult.
Over the Hills and Far Away
Stories of dwarfs, fairies, gnomes and elves from around Europe
Edited by Els Boekelaar and Ineke Verschuren
Illustrations by Daniela Drescher
Add a reviewStories of dwarfs, fairies, gnomes and elves - as well as nature beings by other names - are among the most universal in humanity's storytelling pantheon. Regardless of the culture of origin, they share insights into the wisdom of nature and the effect of human morality upon it. In fact, all such stories I've ever read or heard told are in one way or another morality tales -- only here, the human's morality affects nature and her beings and they, in turn, affect the destiny of the people involved, whether for good or ill. The reverse can also be true: naughty nature beings have their effect in the world and the world and more evolved beings respond to counter it.
However, there is a warmth to these tales that most morality tales lack: even when the deeds arise out of the lower nature of people, or from a recalcitrant gnome, there is a sympathy in the telling that leads to a type of heartwarmed understanding. In short, this quality makes them wonderful for children (and adults, I might add). These stories invite the child into the heart of the world, and evoke a desire to be helpful and kind in the process.
Most of the tales in Over the Hills and Far Away are ideal for children 6-10 years old. Some of the simpler ones would be lovely for children 4 years old or older. This is a wonderful collection of stories made even richer by Daniella Drescher's beautiful paintings.
Best Loved Folktales of the World
I am so happy to be able to offer this collection to you. It was one of our family's favorite treasures, containing story after story that we loved and worlds we explored. It has also been one of those books that over the years goes in and out of print. Happily, we again arrive at a time when it is available for families and teachers and, most importantly, our children.
Best-Loved Folktales of the World is a collection of over 200 folk and fairy tales from all over the world. It is also the only such collection of which I am aware that covers all areas of our planet and represents all major cultures with beauty and integrity. The stories are arranged geographically and include the familiar (to us) classics such as "Snow White" and "Sleeping Beauty" as well as their counterparts for around the world - and much more besides!
These stories are delightful, enriching, satisfying. They also offer a loved-filled feast prepared by the heart of our world. May you enjoy them for years, as we did!
The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales
Pantheon Edition
Introduction by Padraic Colum
Commentary by Joseph Campbell
Add a reviewThis is the classic Pantheon edition of the Haus Marchen ("house stories") collected by the Brothers Grimm. This collection has nurtured children's imaginations in English-speaking Waldorf kindergartens and first grades throughout the world. The richness of imagery and the ultimate truth of the tales is a gift to every child fortunate enough to hear them told by a loved adult. It is also a gift to the adults who are able to share them with the children in their care. One of the few books that genuinely belongs on every home and schools "must have" list.
An Illustrated Treasury of Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales
From Nancy:
Anastasiya Archipova's incomparable illustrations bring to life the wonder and mystery of these well-known and well-loved stories from Hans Christian Anderson. The stories chosen for this collection are also some of my personal favourites from my own childhood - stories that I think every child who hears them will carry in their hearts for life. I can't recommend this beautiful book highly enough.
From the publisher: Hans Christian Andersen's classic tales of foolish emperors, lonely mermaids, icy queens and clever princesses have delighted children and adults alike for nearly two centuries. The stories' unique magic and wonder make them essential reading for any childhood.
This beautifully illustrated collection of Andersen's best-loved fairy tales includes:
- The Princess and the Pea
- The Snow Queen
- The Emperor's New Clothes
- The Little Mermaid
- Thumbelina
Each story is brought to life with charming illustrations by Anastasiya Archipova, illustrator of dozens of children's books.
This gift edition of Andersen's tales is designed for little hands and will make a beautiful addition to any bookshelf.
For readers 5-8 years old.
This title replaces the out of print Favourite Tales from Hans Christian Anderson.
216 pages, 7" x 8 7/8", 2014.
Tales from the Kalevala
Tales from the Kalevala is another one of those books that I have heard so very many people ask for over the years: "Is there a Kalevala in English that tells the story in a way I can use in the classroom/to teach my children?" Now I can answer "yes" - and it is a lovely, well-told tale indeed.
Rudolf Steiner recognized the stories of the Kalevala as having the clearest pictures of an earlier phase of human soul development. He also said that in addition to telling us much about the particular experiences of life in Northern Europe, the stories also offer insights into humanity's earlier time on Earth as well as glimpses of our future development. Steiner went so far as to say that he believed the Kalevala would become as important in the future as the stories of Ancient Greece have been in the past.
The Kalevala is used in the 4th grade curriculum in Waldorf Education. Irmgard Burtscher is a class teacher in Liechtenstein who prepared this prose version of the stories to help other teachers present them to their students. Schiffer's translation brings these robust tales to our door with an English that is at once modern, yet retains the flavor of the ancient world. Do enjoy!
Nordic Gods and Heroes
One of the world's greatest storytellers has given us what I believe is the most elegant and engaging versions of the core of Norse mythology. Padraic Colum's retellings of these timeless stories of the rather raucous pantheon of Norse Gods, giants and heroes will draw you and your students or children into the story, hold you there through to the end and when it is over, leave you hoping for more stories to come. This is a reprint of Colum's book that was originally published in 1920 -- and what a wonderful thing it is to have it available here and now!
Among the many stories in Nordic Gods and Heroes are:
- Iduna and Her Apples - How Loki Put the Gods in Danger
- How Freya Gained Her Necklace and How Her Loved One Was Lost to Her
- How Frey Won Gerda, the Giant Maiden, and How He Lost His Magic Sword
- The All-Father's Forebodings: How He Leaves Asgard
- Odin Goes to Mimir's Well - His Sacrifice for Wisdom
- How Thor and Loki Befooled Thrym the Giant
- Ægir's Feast: How Thor Triumphed
- Loki the Betrayer
- Baldur's Doom
- Sigurd at the House of the Nibelungs
- The Twilight of the Gods
And many, many more!
Norse Myths
I have been looking for a good collection of Norse Myths for some time - and have been wanting to offer this one for even longer. Every time I asked, however, I was told that it was unavailable. I kept asking, though, and at last heard that once again there were copies on the publisher's shelves! from
If you are unfamiliar with Norse Mythology (as I also once was), the introduction is priceless. In it the author outlines the Norse Pantheon, the relationships of the gods and the progression of the myths from The Creation to the Ragnorak.
Crossley-Holland has selected 32 myths that capture in vivid story the tales of these boisterous, courageous, cruel and passionate gods. You'll find Thor, Odin, Baldur, and Loki and a host of other fascinating gods and giants, and watch as the world of the Vikings moves from hopeful beginnings to abundant (and often clashing) life to the final battle that brings a close to that world.
This is a collection that is worthy of both child and adult. Recommended without hesitation!
Norse Mythology and the Modern Human Being
This is a valuable study of a mythology that has as much to do with the future of human evolution as it does with these old stories of the Norse gods. Uehli moves systematically through the major figures in this ancient saga, reflecting on the deeper meaning and showing why they are so valuable for children, especially those in the fourth grade. It will provide insight for teachers, parents, and other adults who hope to answer some of the life questions of today.
Norwegian Folk Tales
Jacob Grimm once said that the Norwegian folk tales "surpass nearly all others." This collection, long held as a treasure in Norway, justifies that opinion. Within these captivating tales we meet witches, trolls, and ogres; sly foxes and great, mysterious bears; beautiful princesses and country-lads-turned-heroes. Collected here in a sparkling contemporary translation by Pat Shaw Iversen and Carl Norman, these tales brim with the matchless vitality and power of their original telling. Included also are the rich illustrations of Erik Werenskiold and Theodor Kittelsen.
These tales are a delight to read and delicious to retell!
Swedish Folk Tales
Illustrated by John Bauer
Hardbound, large format, richly illustrated with amazing paintings
Add a reviewfrom "Leap Elk and Little Princess Cottongrass"
This dazzling collection of twenty-nine illustrated stories, retold by some of the greatest Swedish writers, includes:
- "When Mother Troll Took in the King's Washing" by Elsa Beskow
- "The Magician's Cape" by Anna Wahlenberg
- "Leap the Elk and the Little Princess Cottongrass" by Helge Kjellin
- "The Four Big Trolls and Little PetHer Pastureman" by Cyrus Granér
- "The Trolls and the Youngest Tomte" by Alfred Smedberg
- "The Ring" by Helena Nyblom
- "The Seven Wishes" by Alfred Smedberg
- "Stalo and Kauras" by P. A. Lindholm
- "The Maiden in the Castle of Rosy Clouds" by Harald Ostenson
- "The Boy and the Trolls, or the Adventure" by Walter Stenström
- "The Crofters and the Gnomes" by Anna Wahlenberg
- "The Golden Key" by W. E. Björk
- "The Giant Who Slept for Ten Thousand Years" by Einar Rosenborg
- ... and many more!
John Bauer's original and evocative illustrations bring these classic Swedish folk tales to life. His art seems to me to be a combination of earthly idealism and a fascintating evocation of spiritual reality (or perhaps "elemental reality"). It is no wonder that he is so beloved in Sweden. This collection, paired with his paintings, makes this a book to treasure for generations.
Because of the complexity of some of the themes, as well as the rather robust encounters of humans and elemental beings, I personally recommend this collection for children ages 9 and older, though some of the stories are appropriate for younger children.
Russian Fairy Tales
This is the largest collection of these beautiful, rich stories that I know of. Beautifully retold, charmingly illustrated in Russian folk-art style, this is a treasure that will serve you and your children for years and years. Nearly 200 characteristic and colorful traditional folk and fairy tales are brought together in the only comprehensive edition available in English.
I especially love the Russian tales because they are so richly woven - there is a glorious "fullness" to them, with a wonderful sense of detail that never mires, but always results in the most engaging, most multi-layered folk tales I have encountered. Our children heard and read hundreds of fairy tales - these are the ones they most often mention as still living in their adult hearts.
As Eudora Welty wrote when the original edition was published in 1945, "These tales are gorgeous."
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!
English Fairy Tales
At the end of the 19th Century, one of England's greatest folklorist (and a mighty storyteller!) brought to life so very many of the folk tales succeeding generations have loved as their own. The kings and queens, the wicked giants, clever youngests sons, talking animals and trees, magic cloaks - all are the ingredients of wonderful stories that stir the imagination and delight the heart.
In this volume you'll find many tales you already know and many that will be new to you. "Jack and the Beanstalk," "The Story of the Three Bears," "Henny Penny," and 40 more await you and your children.
Celtic Myths and Legends
T. W. Rolleston
with 76 illustrations from the original edition as well as background essays on the history and culture of the Celts
Add a reviewFor those who would like to learn something about the people behind the great Celtic myths, this edition is a gift. Originally published in 1917, it gathers together in one place pretty much the full core of Celtic mythology and historical legends. The author, in addition to lending these stories a voice through which the magic and panoply of these tales that now belong to the entire world, also illuminates the world of the Celts through his introductory essays. Those essays, in my opinion, make this book a resource to be treasured.
As for the stories, they are pure enchantment. Focusing mainly on Irish myths, Rolleston takes us into the myths of the Irish invasion and the early Milesian kings. You'll meet Queen Maev, Cuchulain the Giant, King Arthur and his knights (including the Grail quest) and much more.
In the Waldorf curriculum, these stories will fit nicely into the history and literature of the 6th grade. Outside Waldorf schools, I would recommend them for anyone 12 or older.
Celtic Folk and Fairy Tales
This collection of Celtic tales is most noteworthy for its inclusion of many tales that are (at least in our day and age) "for adults only." Or, at least for those over 13 or so. For this, we owe him a great debt of gratitude, as these tales give glimpses into the life of the Celtic peoples, most often in relationship to the incoming Christian religion. This sort of glimpse into a more living history is rare and informs in ways that simple statements about the outcomes of battles, who ruled whom and when and so forth cannot do. I can't recommend reading these and other such tales to highly - they are treasures.
There are, though, several stories you may happily share with children: "Jack the Cunning Thief," "The Greek Princess and the Young Gardener," "The Russet Dog" and many others. For these tales, this book will find a place as stories at bedtime and in lessons - many are relatively unknown and quite wonderful, too.
For children ages 7 and up when wisely selected by an adult; for adolescents and adults on their own.
Myths of the World
A treasure house of stories from ancient myth and legend, told by one of Ireland's greatest storytellers.
"The interest of this book lies in its scope and in the engaging way in which the myths are recounted. Suitable for bedtime reading either to yourself or your children."
— Scientific and Medical Network
Here is a comprehensive collection of tales that have carried deeply human meaning through the centuries. You will find all the legendary heroes and tragic characters of ancient times—Iris, Osiris, Gilgamesh, Hercules, Pandora, and many more.
Padraic Colum shows the close relationships between past cultures by including stories from ancient Egypt, Babylon, Greece, Rome, Ireland, Iceland, China, Japan, New Zealand, Mexico, and Peru. A feast for the soul!
This classic collection will entertain and enlighten children of all ages.
Great Myths of the World
Selected and Retold by Padraic Colum
Identical to Myths of the World, but in an older typesetting.
Add a reviewAs a tour of the world's great civilizations and the myths that give voice to their cultures, Padraic Colum's stands out as being not only sweeping in scope but beautiful in voice.As a tour of the world's great civilizations and the myths that give voice to their cultures, Padraic Colum's stands out as being not only sweeping in scope but beautiful in voice. Colum has selected what I will call 'keystone myths' from the ancient cultures that have informed our modern world:
Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Post-Christian Judaism, Greece, Rome, Graeco-Rome, the Celtic world, Finland (Kalevala), Iceland, India, China, Japan, Polynesia, Peru, Central America and Mexico, Zuni.
Colum also treats us to his wonderful essay, "The Significance of Mythology."
This one-volume edition carries within its covers more cultural heartbeats and beautiful vision than any other single book I can think of. Great Myths of the World is a book to enjoy throughout a lifetime. In Waldorf education, many of these myths are at the heart of 4th and 5th grade curricula.
Plays for Puppets
Don't let the cover fool you - this little gem is filled with life, love and everything you need to prepare and present simple puppet plays for the young children in your care. In addition to twelve plays that include both traditional fairy tales and delightful original stories, Zahlingen also introduces and clearly describes the simple art of puppetry as practiced in Waldorf kindergartens - plus there are patterns and instructions for simple marionettes to make yourself. A treasure that will carry you far beyond its covers.
Stories for the Festivals of the Year
I had never heard of this little treasure of a book until a few weeks ago. In fact, I had never seen a copy until those I had requested sight unseen arrived at my door.
It's been a long time since I was in a community where simple yet deep and beautiful stories were told at festival times -- Irene Johanson has brought that all back to me and offers it to anyone who opens her book. Although these tales for the Christian festivals are indeed told for children, it is hard for me to imagine anyone who could listen to or read these stories without loving them.
Most of the stories are quite short, which is good not only because they can be told at bedtime, but because there is so much imaginative gold contained in each that these small portions allow the heart to wrap itself completely around the stories and lets the mind imagine each one to the fullest.
- Easter, Ascension and Whitson - 9 different stories
- Legends about St. John (the Baptist) - 10 stories
- The Marriage of the King's Son (for Michaelmas) - 3 stories
- The Animals' Joy at Christmas - 6 stories
- Star Legends for Epiphany - 6 stories
- Holy Week - 6 stories
Puck the Gnome
Written by master storyteller, Jacob Streit, Puck the Gnome is one of the most delightful children·s stories to appear in quite awhile. Puck is a hard-working fellow whose one foot faces forward while the other faces backward (something many of us can relate to, I suspect). Streit's delightful tale illuminates the world of the hard-working gnomes through the courage and antics of the one who's literally coming and going at the same time. The moral insights, wisdom, humor, and true goodness found in Puck·s adventures will delight both children and adults. The illustrations by Georges Feldmann are truly magical.
Stories of Gnomes and Trolls

Queens schools that were hit hard by Hurricane Sandy are among 39 citywide learning centers set to receive a boost of relief funds.
City Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott and the mayor's Fund to Advance New York City announced this week new programs to provide long-term assistance for students in schools severely affected by the October superstorm.
The grant commits more than $2 million to fund mentoring, counseling, social services and academic support.
"Students in areas hardest hit by the storm lost a significant amount of time in the classroom, and this funding will allow us to provide them with services to get them back on track for success," said Walcott. "We are so incredibly thankful to generous New Yorkers and concerned donors around the world. Without their contributions to the mayor's fund following Hurricane Sandy, these grants would not have been possible."
In all, 17 schools in Queens will receive the relief funds in this initiative, administered by the Fund for Public Schools. Thousands of students were displaced or relocated from their schools due to the storm, creating unanticipated learning gaps and other challenges, according to Julia Bator, chief executive officer of the Fund for Public Schools.
She said the grant would allow the city Department of Education to make great strides in supporting these students through mentoring and supplemental academic support.
"When Hurricane Sandy disrupted so many New Yorkers' lives, the city's schools were a source of comfort, continuity and inspiration to students and families in need," said Bator. "This grant from the mayor's fund will enable schools to continue to go the extra mile to ensure our students feel safe, cared for and ready to learn."
Among the Queens schools set to receive funds through this initiative is Beach Channel High School and Channel View HS in Rockaway Park as well as PS 105 in Far Rockaway.
The DOE will allocate $1.3 million of the grant funds to support expanded mentoring and counseling programs in the schools, serving more than 16,000 students. The remaining $715,000 will provide expanded online tutoring and extended after-school time for 13 schools that serve more than 13,000 students.
"We know that many families' lives were disrupted as a result of Hurricane Sandy and one consequence was children missing valuable school time," said Megan Sheekey, president of the mayor's Fund to Advance New York City. "This initiative is making it possible for students to catch up on learning they may have missed and also receive the vital counseling and mentoring services to further help in the recovery process."

Keeping Your Kids Safe on Halloween
Is it just me, or is it a scarier world to raise a kid and go trick or treating in?
-April Daniels Hussar
I don't know if every generation of parents felt like this – they probably did – but lately the world has seemed a scarier and scarier place to try to raise a child in safety and security. Just about every day there's some mind-bogglingly dreadful story on the news about another kidnapping or murder or gang rape. Roman Polanski has supporters (?!); Caylee Anthony's mother wants the murder charges dropped, Richard Heene exploited his child (heretofore and forever known as Balloon Boy) to try to achieve the dubious fame of Octomom and Jon and Kate; and Jaycee Dugard … well, she may be home with her family, thank goodness, but that was a long, horrific 18 years.
So what's a mommy to do? Packing up and moving to a tropical island without cable doesn't seem like a viable option. But neither does tying one end of a long string to my daughter and the other one around me, though that's tempting.
Of course, there's always good old-fashioned GPS. Sprint is advertising "Family Locator" for their cell subscribers in Tennessee and Virginia, which offers parents: "Real-time interactive satellite maps with street addresses;" as well as "SafetyChecksSM that send automatic notifications of the child's location on specific days and at precise times;" plus the "ability to see where children have been by using maps featuring seven days of historical locations." (So you were at Johnny's house, eh? Well, let's see about that!)
Read: The Best Halloween Movies for Kids
And for those of us who don't live in TN or VA, we can head over to Best Buy for a Little Buddy Child Tracker. For $99 parents can "keep tabs on your child at all times with this small but sophisticated device that combines GPS and cellular technology to provide you with real-time location updates." It's small enough to fit "easily into a backpack, lunchbox or other receptacle, making it easy for your child to carry so you can check his or her location at any time using a smartphone or computer."
I don't know. I understand the motivation behind these products. And I'm pretty sure it's only a matter of time before they get smaller and smaller and can be worn on a necklace or, who knows, a tiny implant. And knowing how paranoid I am, I will never say never. But for now, these devices seem like one more way to drive me into an early neurotic's grave.
In the meantime, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (the very name and existence of which causes an instant lump in my throat) offers this list of 10 Things Parents Can Do to Make Halloween Safer.
They have some good, if obvious, advice, from "carry a glow stick or flashlight" to "ALWAYS walk younger children to the door to receive treats and don't let children enter a home unless you are with them." I mean, duh. But then there are some tips that make me wonder if the whole idea of Halloween is just outdated and has no place in the world we live in:
BE SURE children do not approach any vehicle, occupied or not, unless you are with them.
TEACH children to say 'NO!' or 'this is not my mother/father' in a loud voice if someone tries to get them to go somewhere, accept anything other than a treat, or leave with them. And teach them that they should make every effort to get away by kicking, screaming and resisting.
Gulp. Thankfully my own child isn't anywhere near old enough to even want to go out trick or treating herself (I'm thinking about 35 sounds good). So on Saturday night, I'll help her into her sunflower fairy costume, put on the crown we made together, and hold her hand. And it won't just be the melted chocolate and lollipop drool that keeps me stuck to her like glue.

FIVE THINGS: Flyers at Tampa Bay Lightning
by Staff Writer / Philadelphia FlyersThe Flyers come into tonight's game with their last three games decided by a 5-2 score, winning the last two… Tonight is the first time the Flyers will face Tampa Bay with Ryan Callahan in the lineup, he has recorded 11 points (6g-5a) in 17 games since joining the Lightning… The Lightning own a 23-10-6 mark at home this season and are 6-2-3 over the past 11 games on home ice… With three games remaining, the Flyers are tied with Detroit and Columbus entering tonight's game, but have a game in hand on both teams, and could still face a few different teams in the First Round of the playoffs, while the Lightning are fighting for home-ice advantage in the First Round with Montreal, sitting in third place and three points behind the Canadiens with one game in hand.
The Flyers are winless against the Lightning so far this season, going 0-2-0, and will be looking to avoid getting swept by the Lightning for just the second time in franchise history and first since the 2005-06 season (0-4-0)… The Flyers haven't had much success in Tampa either, going winless in their last four trips dating back to 2010-11… During this year's season series, the Lightning have scored six of their 10 goals in the second period, while the Flyers have been held off the scoresheet in the first period, scoring all five of their goals in the second & third period… The Flyers do own winning records against Tampa, going 22-19-1-1 on the road and posting an overall mark of 42-29-8-3.
The Flyers have killed off their last 20 penalties on the road dating back to Mar. 2, and have allowed just two power-play goals to the opposition in their last 11 road games, going 34-for-36 dating back to Jan. 22… The Lightning have scored a power-play goal in eight of their past 12 games, going 13-for-52 (25%)… Tampa Bay goaltender Anders Lindback has started each of the past five games against the Flyers and owns an all-time record of 4-3-0 against Philadelphia to go along with a 2.30 goals-against average and .918 save percentage... Flyers defenseman Mark Streit comes into tonight's game with a three-game assist streak, posting five assists in that stretch… Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman is tied for 4th in the NHL among defensemen in scoring with 53 points - he has 10 points (2g-8a) in his past 10 games.
The Flyers captain is coming off a two-goal performance in south Florida bring his point total to 81 points in 79 games… He is one point shy of finishing the season averaging at least a point per-game for the third consecutive season… He now leads the Flyers in points (81), goals (27) and assists (54) and his 81-point total currently ranks fifth among all NHL players… He also leads the team in points on the power play (34), game-winning-goals (7) and all Flyers forwards in average time-on-ice (20:32)… Giroux has three points, all assists, in two games of the season series thus far and averages nearly a point-per-game against the Lightning with 17 points, 14 of them assists, in 19 career games. | Palat is a serious contender to take home the NHL's Rookie of the Year, Calder Trophy… The first-year forward ranks second among all rookies with 57 points, 35 assists and ranks third with 22 goals while leading all rookies in plus-minus at +30 in 79 games… His 57 points are tied for second among all players on the Lightning… Recently Palat has been riding a four-game point streak with three goals and six points in that span… Against the Flyers this season, he has one goal in two games, but has a pair of goals in three career games against Philadelphia. |

At first the diction of the poem seems unremarkable. There are no odd, unusual, or difficult words. A careless reader might not even think of noticing the diction, but that would be a mistake. Creeley has very consciously picked out words that do not call attention to themselves. There has long been a struggle in American writing between stylists who utilize uncommon diction and unusual imagery and those, like Creeley, who try to use common speech. This struggle goes back centuries, hearkening back to the English Civil War and the elaborate and erudite poetry of the cavaliers on the one hand, and the sturdy and direct Puritan texts on the other. Creeley has enlisted the banner of plain speech and straightforward expression.
The poet makes extensive use of the device of enjambment in this poem. Enjambment is the technique of continuing the sense of a line forward...

A Southern California man suspected of being part of a Korean organized crime group was sentenced to 10 years in prison Monday for his role in a botched home invasion.
Korean-born Choon Bok Lee, 56, pleaded guilty in September to two federal racketeering charges stemming from the 2009 home invasion in Las Vegas. The victims were part of the local Korean community.
U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro also sentenced Bok Lee on Monday to three years of supervised release after he gets out of prison. He is to undergo substance abuse treatment.
His lawyer, Chris Rasmussen, told Navarro that Bok Lee has a methamphetamine addiction and participated in the home invasion to obtain money to fuel his habit. "He wants to try to beat this addiction," Rasmussen said.
In October, Bok Lee, who is in federal custody, filed a three-page handwritten petition seeking to dismiss his assistant federal public defender, Shari Kaufman, and withdraw his plea.
He contended that Kaufman had denied him an effective interpreter and "coerced" him into signing a plea agreement he didn't understand. Following a closed hearing, Navarro replaced Kaufman with Rasmussen and appointed a new interpreter to sit down with Bok Lee and go over the plea agreement.
Bok Lee and two other defendants, Ki Chong Yoo and Hyo Seong Kim, were charged in a six-count superseding indictment in February 2011 in a case handled by federal prosecutors who specialize in organized crime. Chong Yoo is awaiting trial. Seong Kim is at large.
The three men, looking for cash hidden in a safe, showed up in December 2009 at the Las Vegas home of a couple who own a Korean restaurant, according to court documents in the case.
A nanny let them inside, and they waited for the wife to come home. When she arrived, the intruders grabbed her, put a pillowcase over her head and ordered her to give them the code to the safe, the documents allege.
The woman told the suspects she didn't know the code, and she was ordered to persuade her husband to come home. When the husband arrived, the men struck him in the back of the head with a flashlight and then used a stun gun on him, the documents allege.
In the confusion, the wife slipped out of the house and called police at a neighbor's home. When the intruders learned she had escaped, they fled in a vehicle with California license plates.

Behold Yo Soy Sauce: the CacheFlowe/Brer Rabbit collaboration two years in the making
So, this first release from Yo Soy Sauce has been in the works for a while -- two years to be exact. The collaborative effort between local electronic guru CacheFlowe and Flobot MC Brer Rabbit officially drops as a single tomorrow, but the duo handed us the video for "Juke Box" over the weekend.
The track also features the delicate voice of Paperbird's Esme Tiger Collins doing some hilarious verbal gymnastics over a tripped-up booty house beat, as well as little of her usually beautiful vocals thrown in at the end.
"We've been experimenting with lots of different styles and making up new genres, like Afrobit, Baroquen Beat, Southern Soul Hop and Opera Hop," says Cacheflowe of the strange concoction. We're still not sure what to think of this first track, but we have to admit that any booty house beat is a good beat. And we're definitely all ears when it comes to finding out what a genre like "Afrobit" might actually sound like. Have a look.

Steamboat Springs When Libba Turner heard that a group of teenagers, including a boy from Denver, was attacked by a grizzly bear in the Alaskan wilderness Saturday, she thought about her 26-year-old son living in Steamboat Springs and how lucky he was to survive a bear attack seven years ago.
"Every time I read about a bear attack, it brings the memory of his encounter back to me, and I get goose bumps," she said. "It amazes me that he survived. People hardly do that."
Denton Turner, who works in the Honey Stinger and Big Agnes warehouse, was attacked by a mother grizzly bear while hiking in Yellowstone National Park in 2004 and was able to walk away after the bear stopped her assault. He said it has taken years for him to be able to hike, bike and fly-fish in the wilderness with the level of confidence he had prior to the attack.
"It changed my life. Every day I think about it, especially here" in Steamboat, Turner said. "I would say my respect and my awareness of the outdoors is 100 times what it was before that day."
Turner was hiking alone at dusk when he encountered a grizzly bear and her two cubs in Yellowstone's Hayden Valley. Before the encounter, he had pulled out his binoculars to try to identify an elusive bird.
"Then I heard a snap of a twig behind me in the sagebrush, and I turned around, and a big, huge mamma grizzly bear was staring at me," he said. "I froze up."
After the bear charged him, he played dead as she clawed at him and bit him near his armpit. In the fetal position, he said he thought he was going to die.
"I never felt pain at all during the whole encounter," he said. "I just laid there as long as possible."
The grizzly stopped her attack, and Turner was able to walk back to his car. He said he didn't realize the extent of his injuries until he saw his reflection in a window.
"I don't think I panicked until blood started appearing in my shirt," he said.
He then waved down a motorist who took him to a hospital.
Turner said recent stories about bear attacks, including a hiker killed by a grizzly bear in Yellowstone earlier this month, and other encounters with wildlife remind him how lucky he was to walk away.
"I really think I'm the best case that I've read about," he said. "I definitely feel lucky. Nobody I've read about has come out as clean as me. They were either seriously injured by the grizzly or they were killed."
Turner shared his story with students at Steamboat Springs Middle School in May, and he hopes to continue to use his encounter with the grizzly as an educational tool.
"I talked to them about hanging your food up and not cooking food inside their tents," he said. "I hope my story can help people be more aware and be more safe."
He also said that he feels safe hiking with larger groups of people, and tries to make more noise while hiking alone on trails to avoid surprising animals.

Moffat County officials to be sworn into office next week
For Moffat County Clerk and Recorder Elaine Sullivan, Tuesday will be one she won't soon forget. And even though she has done it twice before, she doesn't think the day's activities will be any less moving. Sullivan will join seven other elected officials at 1 p.m. Tuesday in Moffat County District Court to be sworn into their respective elected offices. The ceremony will be a completely new experience for some, and for others it will be one they have had the honor of participating in several times before.

Affordable housing and cyclist groups don't like neighborhood planning groups
Marty Graham 3:19 p.m., March 30
A trip to Norway is incomplete without getting out on the water to experience the fjords. The sea plays an essential role in the history of Norway, exemplified by some of its most notable museums: the Viking, the Fram, the Kon-Tiki and the Norwegian Maritime Museum. But inland waterways and fjords reveal the country's essence and striking beauty.
After experiencing Oslo, one of the most underrated cities in Europe, I made my way to Bergen on the west coast. From Bergen I booked a one-day cruise on the Sognefjord, considered one of the most spectacular fjords in Norway.
The first train from Bergen to Myrdal had some lovely scenery, but views were simply amazing on the second leg, Myrdal to Flam, as we descended into the valley. The train stopped briefly at a waterfall and other scenic locations for picture taking.
The weather was a bit gloomy as I climbed aboard a crowded vessel with tourists from all over the world, but the spectacular nature of the fjords revealed itself despite the clouds. I wandered inside the ferry as a light rain began to fall and was puzzled by the sight of a few tourists who were oblivious to the surrounding wonder, particularly one Japanese gentleman sleeping like a baby. Why would somebody come so far to take a nap amidst this beauty? I decided that despite the drizzle and wind, outside was the place to be. This is Norway, after all; you can't expect the same skies as the Italian Riviera.
As we rounded each bend, our view opened up to awe-inspiring green cliffs and valleys. I occasionally spotted a little farm dwarfed by the mountains. Eventually the sun poked through the clouds, producing magical vistas.
After the boat docked, a beautiful rainbow graced the countryside – a fitting way to cap off the journey. Rain or shine, a fjord cruise offers scenic rewards that cannot be matched.

When it comes to the hedge fund industry, where billions of dollars are made and lost each year due in part to the accuracy of information, precise measurement and reporting on the scale of the industry itself appears frustratingly imprecise and hence unimportant.
At the end of the fourth quarter of 2011, estimates of hedge fund industry assets under management (AuM) ranged from a low of $1.64 trillion to a high of $2.46 trillion or more, an astounding difference of at least 50%.
At eVestment|HFN we estimate the industry's size to be on the high end of that range. Our estimate through January 2012 was $2.49 trillion.
Read About "The 40 Highest-Earning Hedge Fund Managers"
While these variances have existed over time, there's been little, if anything, said to address the differences.
Two factors may be to blame: producers of AuM estimates may be reluctant to share methodologies behind the estimates and media reporters may be reluctant to question a source for fear of losing access to information.
But here is some background that might provide some insight and clarity on the size of the hedge fund industry.
