Also see: Ubuntu Laptop Buying Guide
Getting a new laptop is always fun, no matter which OS you prefer. However, getting Ubuntu installed on a new notebook can be a hit or miss process. Despite those who downplay the compatibility issue, installing Ubuntu on a laptop designed for Windows doesn't always go as planned.
In this article, we'll examine the advantages and disadvantages of laptops with Ubuntu pre-installed, laptops without an OS installed and putting Ubuntu on laptops with Windows installed.
When you wander into a big box store or order a laptop from a popular national vendor, chances are excellent you're going to end up with a laptop that has Windows pre-installed. Things start to get complicated when you want to install a Linux distribution like Ubuntu onto these units. It amazes me when individuals are surprised when something like the audio or wireless chipset turns out to be problematic when installing Ubuntu on a Windows laptop. Of course, it's not "always" going to work out of the box, you purchased the laptop with a non-Linux OS installed!
Granted, I'm familiar with the usual reasons why someone would purchase a Windows build laptop to install Linux on it. Usually, folks purchase these laptops because of their price, but sometimes because they really like the design. Whatever the case, there are some things you need to know before you rush out and buy a laptop running a non-Linux OS:
Another option for purchasing a laptop is to buy one without an OS installed. The obvious advantage is that it will save you having to wipe the old OS before installing Ubuntu. On the flip side, however, you're once again left in charge of making sure the laptop's compatibility is on par with your expectations. Generally, this isn't considered too much trouble, unless you happen to run into issues that the Ubuntu documentation can't help you overcome. Personally, I've never been a big fan of no-OS laptops. They seem great at first—unless a compatibility headache happens to crop up later on.
Now obviously, there are ways of increasing your odds of finding a successful no-OS laptop to meet your needs. The best approach for taking this route would include the following:

Back around March 12th a small rumor started from the MLPArena forum boards about the possible return of John de Lancie to MLP. A member by the name of Fluttersquid had attended the Toronto Comicon, and after the panel had gone up to JdL to get a picture of Discord signed by him. He laughed and started talking about the lack of females approaching him. She mentioned MLP to him and he gave out a little spoiler, namely about returning to the show. (Thread found here).
Since we didn't have a second source outside a forum post, we didn't bother to post about it, but it seems someone has recently uploaded JdL's panel from the Comicon, where at one point (about 29:22) someone asks if he had thought about doing more voice over work, such as he did in MLP. His response is "I've done actually another MLP, which is coming out."
It is most likely that JdL will reappear as a voice in Season 3, as way back when Season 2 first started he made the response on twitter of roughly saying that he wasn't in anymore episodes, but if we wanted to hear him next season, to let Hasbro know. JdL's entire panel (roughly an hour) can be found after the page break.

Marketing your Website to your Visitors
Today we will examine some new ways to market your website so that you can get the full effect out of your visitors. These steps should help you ensure that you are able to take advantage of your high amounts of web traffic and then convert them in a way that will allow you to increase your revenue over time. Essentially this method should teach you to make money off of your investment through the careful usage of your website. Marketing comes into play in a few different ways in this scenario because you need to get the best promotional component out of your website as possible, this means that you need to be able to make your website look better than it really is if there are any problems but in general you need to be able to control the way that your website is seen by its visitors. Once you have mastered this skill you will have a very easy time at completing as many promotional campaigns as you wish and being able to market your website to new people will work even better. As time goes on you will be able to use this method to overcome obstacles in the promotional efforts of your website, if you are having a rough time with one specific period of your website this method should give you exactly what you need to be able to actually turn that bad part around into a next positive quarter.
How to Market It
There are a few different ways that you can go about marketing your website to gain viewers and increase your revenue stream, but the main one which is chosen by the main online SEO and website experts would be a strong collage of different efforts like SEO, web traffic, and social media. Promoting your website should be thought of in the same way that you would market a product to the mass media but in this case you are going towards a much more specific and niche market. You need to be on the top of your game always and be able to control your market better than anyone else to come out on top. Lets start off with one of the basic ideas here, marketing your website to the public, how would anyone usually go about gaining some viewers to at least take a look at their product? The best way to market a product is to get it on a Television show or some type of advertising that will make people want to go talk a look at what you have to offer and in this instance since we are dealing with a website specifically here the best thing you can do is invest in direct web traffic. Usually people will have to become their own middleman and try to get the advertisers or at least the other people to promote their product while just being an average user who gains nothing special from the company, but in the online world you can directly connect with the people who are going to be promoting your website and controlling its strength so this gives you a much great amount of flexibility.
Promotional Efforts in Marketing
When you are trying to market your website to the largest amount of people as possible you need to consider all of the possible outcomes and one the strongest ways to actually achieve your goals will be integrated a diverse amount of possible strategies into your program. We just covered the basics of SEO and why web traffic works so well in conjunction with it. Web traffic allows people to gain what ever amount of web traffic they desire for a certain price point but it also means that you will not lose a large chunk of the money on the conversion and the usual middleman who will have to pay the people to promote the website down the road. Next up is the actual SEO efforts which can play a big role in this process too if you know what you are doing. If you are able to SEO your site well you will gain tons of visitors for free which makes this specific part of the method one of the most cost efficient ways possible to gain viewers but you are susceptible to Google changes which can knock you way out of the rankings without some extra work.
Bringing it All Together
The final piece of the puzzle is definitely bringing all of your efforts together to create a strong and solid promotional campaign for your website. Some main things that you should also think about are the fact that you always need to stay positive in this way, sometimes things will not turn out as you had originally suspected but if you give up at this point you will just end your time at a loss without putting enough true effort into it. Try to make sure that you have tried a variety of paths in SEO, web traffic, and other promotional efforts before giving up on one of the strategies because for the most part they all play together to give one of the strongest and most reliable ways to market your website to the general public. This way you should be able to reach the largest amount of people that are interested in your niche and these people should at least be the ones that will most likely want to join all of your social networks to help you grow your website even further. Once you have spent a sufficient amount of time trying to learn these concepts you should get better and better as time goes on because practice always makes perfect and therefore even your streamlining efforts to increase your revenue should increase with time and you will almost always be learning new ways to make and keep your current viewers. The main problem here can be that sometimes when a website strives to gain more followers they alienate their current ones and this can cause huge problems if you do not have the visitor count to increase back up to where you used to be or hopefully greater than where you used to be before the problems started.

Review by Colonel Joe Robinson (author of the Handbook of Imperial Germany, Great War Dawning and The Last Great Cavalry Charge): "expecting a rather focused look at mid war Saxony in Flanders, I was seriously impressed by the robustness of the study. This is a book that any fan of world war one should possess. I really felt there were three books and at the end I wanted another in the series… there really should be a series if indeed the authors can resource it. Initially there is a mindnumbing set of details about Saxon actions broken down by unit and year. While this might seem like mundane research, suddenly the style of the authors and publisher comes to the front. This is the best picture collection I have seen in a book. The publisher and authors interspersed the pictures and maps throughout the text along with insets telling side stories. The affect was incredibly good. The pictures are clear, well annotated and not the normal "repeated pictures". While the story is book 1, it is the collection of pictures that put you on your feet. Rare, well explained, and integrated into the text. This is not the standard picture section that my books have been relegated to. This is real time expansion of your understanding. These pictures no doubt took a lifetime to collect and I am very pleased to have read it. Just when you thought this was well worth the money you come along to chapter 9. OMG The series of individual histories of soldiers and officers during the war. This is complete with pictures and letters from the soldier. This long chapter could not have been assembled without a serious collection of diaries and papers. All translated nicely into English and a real treasure trove that makes his third book worth the price of admission alone. You will not regret this one at all."

"The Vernonia Incident" (1989)
Official fan page and website for the original 1989 production. A full-length feature film, shot in Vernonia Oregon.
"The Vernonia Incident" , also known as "Lynch Mob Vigilantes", is a full-length feature film which was shot in the city of Vernonia Oregon in the spring of 1989. The filmmaker is Ray Etheridge, who graduated from Vernonia High School in 1970. Ray had been working as a cameraman in Los Angeles, and in his spare time he fashioned a script about a robbery in a small, rural town. Vernonia was an easy choice for the movie's location, and once the decision was made to shoot in Vernonia, planning began.
Several months later, Ray made the long drive from Los Angeles to Vernonia, setting up an office in the home of his mother, Emma, who also offered the use of her home as one of the major filming locations. An old 16mm movie camera was purchased from KATU Television in Portland Oregon, which had been used by the news department in the days before video tape. Ads were placed in Vernonia's newspaper, "The Independent", for actors, shooting locations, and crew members. Gordon Smith and Chuck Hendryx agreed to allow filming in their Sentry Market, and made one of their vacant properties available to conduct actor auditions. Auditions were held over a three-day period, and over 70 people were chosen to play parts in the film.
The script required the use of over a dozen "chase cars", which would be purposely "crashed and burned" for the movie. A deal was struck with Ed Biros, who owned the local "auto junk yard", to provide driveable cars, deliver them to the filming location, and then haul them away once the cars had been filmed. Ed also provided one of his flatbed tow trucks to be used as a "camera car", upon which a car could be filmed without actually driving it.
The script also required a lot of gunshots and explosions, for which a special "powder license" is required. Ray struck a deal with Jim Gardner, whereby Ray would teach Jim some of the "Hollywood tricks" that he had learned, and Jim would be the one to actually handle the explosives. The end result was impressive. Electric "squibs" were attached to actors to simulate gunshot wounds, and a mixture of dynamite and chemical fertilizer was used to "blow-up" the picture cars. Jim also provided a "water truck" which was used to put out the fires that we had set in the cars.
The "exterior" of the farmhouse in which a family is "held hostage" was the home of Bruce and Donna Hepler. The "interior" of the farmhouse was shot in the home of Associate Producer Emma Etheridge. The walls which were "shot to bits" by the angry posse were actually false walls constructed in Emma's garage, which perfectly matched the "real" walls inside her home.
Actors were allowed to use their own guns in the film. In many carefully controlled scenes, LIVE ammunition was fired on-cue into targets placed just off-camera. In scenes where gunmen were shooting at buildings or around people, "blank" ammunition was used. Each and every shot was carefully counted and monitored, and safety checks were made after each scene was filmed.
FORMAT and BUDGET
"The Vernonia Incident" was shot on 16mm film, on Kodak 7240/7250 stock. (VNF/Ektachrome). The film was processed by Technifilm in Portland Oregon, where it was transferred to 1-inch video tape for editing. The movie was edited (on tape) at Sunset Post, in Glendale California, and the audio was re-recorded at Future Post in Burbank, California. This "low-budget" film cost $67,000 to produce, of which $40,000 was to shoot the movie, $14,000 to re-record the sound track, and $13,000 for editing.
Due to problems with the film's recording equipment, the original soundtrack was rendered virtually useless, so the entire soundtrack had to be reconstructed from scratch. Eight professional actors were hired in Los Angeles to "voice" all of the performers in the movie, with each doing numerous parts. This practice is known as "looping", or ADR. In addition, all of the sound effects, such as gunshots, door slams, car engines, helicopters, and so on, were all reconstructed by a "foley", or sound effects artist. The entire process of re-building the soundtrack took 5-days, at a cost of around $2800.00 per day.
Editing was first done by viewing and "editing" VHS copies of the 1-inch masters. The VHS tapes, and "time-code" notes were then handed over to Sunset Post, which cut the 1-inch masters to match the VHS "paper edit". This process took 3-days, at a cost of approximately $500 per hour, or $4300.00 per day.

text: Three people were injured in a two-vehicle crash north of Aberdeen on Saturday evening. The accident, called in at 7:13 p.m., occurred at the intersection of Brown County Road 10 and 128th Street, just north of the Brown County Fairgrounds, according to South Dakota Highway Patrol Trooper Carl Stearns. Stearns said a car driven by Dustin Stahl, 15, of Aberdeen was westbound on 128th and a pickup driven by Glenn Ringgenberg, 59, of Columbia was northbound on Brown County 10. Stahl failed to stop at a posted stop sign, Stearns said, and the vehicles collided. The pickup entered the ditch. Ringgenberg was not injured. Stahl, who had to be extricated from the vehicle, as well as two passengers, Cody Kriz and Andrew Moinichen, both 15 and of Aberdeen, were taken by ambulance to Avera St. Luke's Hospital in Aberdeen. Their conditions were unavailable late Saturday.

Is that I am very lucky. My family is the best. My friends are the best. Lucky is an understatement!
My mom & sister hosted the most beautiful & thoughtful shower of all time for me! With the help of my momager's manager Heidi they found an amazing venue called Liberty House that has a gorgeous city view. My Aunt Isabel and cousin Kate created A PURPLE CANDY BAR that was perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!! Purple snickers, purple laffy taffy, purple kisses, purple cupcakes, etc! I loved it!!!
The shower was wine themed and was complete with wine pitchers with flowers on each table and a wine wishing well! (How cool is that? SO COOL!!!)
My mom & sister read a cute panty themed poem and now I have underwear for every life occasion to come! It was hilarious and so much fun.
Margot-ria's (champagne sangria) was a'flowin' and my favorite ladies from near and far were there! I was blown away by how many people flew in for it, and it made the day that much more special! I was gifted a COUNTLESS amount of amazing things, that Tristan & I plan to keep and treasure forever.
Having so many people wish you well and offer their love and support all in one room, at one time, is truly amazing. It was a day I will never forget!
From the shower, we started the Bachelorette party! I wanted to do both events on the same day because so many had flown in. Seriously it wasssss the Best. Weekend. Ever.
I'm still recovering ;-)
Next up, THE WEDDING!

He has a recent Lions tour under his belt and a number of top clubs chasing him, but there is still no place for Stuart Hogg in the Glasgow Warriors starting line-up for Friday evening's RaboDirect Pro12 semi-final match against Munster at Scotstoun.
Instead, Peter Murchie is at full-back as Glasgow chase their dream of a first appearance in a major final. Murchie lacks Hogg's alacrity in attack, but he is seen as a better player in defence, with a particular strength under the high ball.
Even so, it is a big call to omit Hogg, who does not even have the consolation of a place on the bench.
The decision by Gregor Townsend, the coach, provokes suspicion that he has been unimpressed by Hogg's excitable ways recently, and that he might not trust the player to retain a cool head in the febrile atmosphere of a home play-off.
However, the coach batted away that suggestion, explaining that a niggling injury and lack of game time – the consequence of Hogg's sending off when playing for Scotland against Wales – had swayed the decision against the 21-year-old.
"Stuart knows he has probably not had enough rugby," Townsend said. "We are in a great situation at full-back and Peter Murchie was outstanding against Edinburgh and very good when he came on at the weekend.
"Stuart has played well, but he has not been able to have a full game with his back injury. We pick what we think is the right side to win a game."
While one fans' favourite is left out, another has fared rather better. With the emergence of Tim Swinson and Jonny Gray as full international players over the past 12 months, there was an impression that long-serving captain Al Kellock was slipping down the second-row pecking order at Glasgow, but Townsend has decided that the 32-year-old's experience will add composure in what is likely to be a fraught contest.
Even if Kellock's powers as a player have waned a little, he is acknowledged as probably the best leader of a Scottish club side during the professional era.
With Paul O'Connell as Kellock's direct opponent, Townsend agreed that hard-nosed rugby nous had swayed the decision. He also admitted that his captain's communication skill, particularly with referees, had been a factor.
Kellock is the sole survivor from the Warriors' starting XV for the first-ever Pro12 semi-final – against Ospreys – in 2010.
The side have now reached the play-off stage in four of the past five seasons, and Kellock believes that they are now ready to go one step further, his conviction strengthened by the fact that Glasgow go into the game on a run of eight straight wins in the Pro12.
"We talk amongst ourselves about how well we have done," Kellock said. "In the past maybe we would have talked about how they don't respect us but I don't believe we are underdogs, playing on our own park after winning eight in a row. If we focus on ourselves we can win this game.
"Also we have to look at Munster and do our analysis and realise where they are strong – and they are a strong, strong team. I don't worry about opinions that come in any more, we are very much focused on ourselves."
Intriguingly, the two regular-season games between Glasgow and Munster were both won by the away side. In October, the Irish side played a tight, contained game and left Glasgow with a 13-6 victory. Yet in the return fixture last month, Glasgow stunned Thomond Park with their bold approach, scored three first-half tries and won 22-5.
Those results make the semi-final difficult to predict, but Townsend pointed out that the picture was also clouded by the fact that Munster have two very distinct styles of play, and are likely to switch between the two in an all-or-nothing game.
"They passed the ball more than any other side last season, which is very different to what Munster did in the past. But they have mixed that up with the traditional Munster game. You have forwards running hard at you, especially as they get further up the pitch and closer to the try line."
Communications giant BT has emerged as the front-runner to secure naming rights at Murrayfield. Scottish Rugby Union officials have refused to comment, but it is understood that a seven-year deal worth up to £20 million is close to being signed.

Re: Fra OH! Be Won! Can OH! Be? waves to Illuminati
My vote for best post ever.
It's by fra_nothing:
"Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire [shall be] to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee." (Gen. 3:16)
This should really be translated as, "and thy lust for domination shall be directed toward thy husband, but still shall he have mastery over thee."
When the knowledge of good and evil came into the world it destroyed natural law by dividing will against itself. The man is the hierarchical authority over woman.
God first
Christ second
Man third
Woman forth
If a woman is bent on evil, she will not live in natural order. She will always be bent on dominating men, because she senses truly that man is her hierarchical master.
In short, if men are to have any hope, then they must 'strap on a pair' and be a Man!
If women are still bent on rebellion, then they will be crushed under the foot of Men. We will not stand for their witchcrafts and manipulations borne out of their ravening weakness and unbridled lust for domination.
If a woman will not live as a woman, then she will be obliterated by equalibrium. We are men. The rule is ours. And we WILL NOT give it to another!

The United States and North Korea have held talks for the third time this week in a bid to find a way out of their dispute over the North's nuclear weapons programs. But the three-hour meeting on the sidelines of six-party nuclear talks yielded no breakthrough.
Following the meeting, the United States and North Korea agreed Thursday to continue bilateral negotiations to resolve their differences on how to end North Korea's nuclear weapons programs.
The top U.S. envoy to the talks, Christopher Hill says differences remain.
"We had a long discussion with them [North Koreans]," he said. "There's certainly some points of agreement, but there continues to be points of disagreements."
The two sides have been at odds over the process of any disarmament plan. U.S. officials say the North is concerned over "sequencing", meaning which country makes the first move and when.
But Alexander Alekseyev, head of the Russian delegation to the talks, told reporters Thursday nobody from either delegation had called Thursday's talks a failure.
"We got a feeling that is was a very difficult, concrete talk and maybe it was the first time both sides spoke so deeply for such a long time about, not generalities, but concrete problems," he said.
On Wednesday, North Korea reiterated its demands that the United States normalize relations, give security guarantees and withdraw nuclear weapons from the Korean peninsula before it dismantles its nuclear programs.
The United States has consistently pushed for a verifiable and complete disarmament first, before giving any concessions. The United States and its ally, South Korea, also deny there are any nuclear weapons in the South.
Qin Gang, spokesman for the Chinese delegation to the talks, says the nuclear issue is complicated and that it is too early to say whether the talks are close to a breakthrough or a breakdown.
Mr. Qin says the process is moving forward in the right direction.
U.S. envoy to the talks, Christopher Hill, said Thursday he expects all parties to begin drafting a joint statement in the next 24 hours.
But Mr. Hill says this will not be a definitive statement.
"We had a lot of discussions with a lot of the delegations," added Mr. Hill. "We'd like to see if we can put some of these thoughts down on paper and see where we are."
Officials say the participants are trying to reach a consensus on "agreed principles", which includes a common definition of the concept of "denuclearization". They say the North Koreans appear to have a broader interpretation, which could touch on the South Korea-U.S. defense alliance.
Officials say the agreed principles could form the basis of a final settlement. But when this final settlement could be reached and in what form, is still uncertain.
The talks, which also involve South Korea and Japan, resumed Tuesday after a 13-month boycott by North Korea.

Origami articles
Here are some origami-related texts written by me.
On my web page
Makalu assembly tips
Robert J. Lang's Makalu (Six Intersecting Pentagons) is an interesting wireframe model and part of his Himalayan Peaks series. This articles contains some tips on assembling the complete model (which is the hard part of making it) once you've folded the units.
FIT assembly tips
Five Intersecting Tetrahedra (FIT), designed by Tom Hull, is probably the most popular model of the woven polyhedron type. While folding the units is quite straightforward, connecting them in the proper manner is not. This article describes the rules I use when I assemble this model.
Envelopener usage and care
Envelope openers are very useful tools for origami folders, but they have a number of quirks. This text describes some techniques I found useful for avoiding split corners and other mishaps while cutting paper with envelopeners.

"A $29 home energy audit that determines the safety of the indoor air and determines how to save up to 40% off energy bills is a no-brainer for any homeowner," said Mr. Radly.
Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) January 18, 2013
Each year, more than 400 Americans die from unintentional CO poisoning, more than 20,000 visit the emergency room and more than 4,000 are hospitalized due to CO poisoning. Fatality is highest among Americans 65 and older.
It was recently reported that an energy audit helped save a woman's life by discovering the old furnace and water heater were leaking carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that can only be detected with a carbon monoxide detector or testing equipment. The details of the report can be read here.
One Clean Planet urges all homeowners to have an energy audit, not only to learn how to save money on energy bills, but most importantly to ensure the indoor air is safe. "One Clean Planet has performed thousands of energy audits for homeowners who wanted to save money on energy bills, and the majority of the time there are air quality safety issues that need to be addressed before the energy solutions can be installed," said Adam Radly, CEO and Founder of One Clean Planet.
One Clean Planet is the nation's largest home energy company and has performed over 13,000 energy audits. One Clean Planet has found health related issues with over 30% of the audits the company has performed and now in markets such as Massachusetts they are performing home energy audits for just $29.
"A $29 home energy audit that determines the safety of the indoor air and determines how to save up to 40% off energy bills is a no-brainer for any homeowner," said Mr. Radly.
About One Clean Planet
One Clean Planet has been established to help people maintain a healthy lifestyle and a healthy planet.

Herbert Pelham, 7th Marquess of Hexham, known as Bertie, is the owner of Brancaster Castle in Northumberland. He is second cousin once-removed to his predecessor, under whom he served as Brancaster's agent. On New Year's Eve 1925, he married Edith Crawley and became stepfather to Edith's daughter, Marigold.
Background Edit
An only child, Bertie grew up in the area around Brancaster, and came to visit the castle every so often. In 1923 after his father died, he left the army and was made Brancaster's agent. He and his cousin Peter, the 6th Marquess of Hexham, were very good friends.
Biography Edit
2014 Christmas Special Edit
When Lord Sinderby rents Brancaster for the grouse season in 1924, Bertie is invited to attend along with the Crawley family. He offers to have Lady Edith Crawley stand next to him while he is shooting. He remarks he has very few ambitions in life, for he is very content where he is.
Later, he asks Edith to dance with him after she dances with her brother-in-law. He notes she seems anxious, and she explains that she and Tom were talking about "our ward" - a girl her family adopted who is growing up at Downton (who is in truth her own illegitimate daughter). Tom had revealed to Edith that he knew who Marigold was and agreed to keep her identity secret.
Edith asks Pelham about his cousin, Lord Hexham. He eventually asks her if she always asks so many questions.
1925 Edit
Some months later, Bertie and Edith meet in London. Bertie asks Edith out for a drink. At the magazine office, Edith fires her editor, Mr Skinner, and then meets Bertie to tell him she is on a tight schedule to finish the editing and lay out of the next issue by four o'clock the next morning. Pelham immediately offers to help her.
When the magazine is finished Edith thanks Pelham and is grateful for his help. He tells Edith how she inspires him, something which Edith finds flattering.
Edith and Bertie meet in London where they share some personal stories, and then have tea at Edith's flat where they share their first kiss. Pelham tells Edith that he couldn't stop thinking about her. Edith tells Pelham that he is very sweet. Bertie admits that he has not got much to offer Edith as an estate agent.
Edith invites Bertie to Downton's Open House. Edith meets Bertie at The Drive, where they share their second kiss. Before dinner, Edith introduces the children Sybbie, George, and Marigold. During dinner with the Crawleys, Bertie realizes that the family does not have a plan for the Open House for the village the next day and he quickly devises a successful day.
He later came with the Crawleys to watch Henry Talbot and Charlie Rogers race at Brooklands with Edith but the event ended tragically with the death of Rogers. He later spends time with Edith in London at Rosamund's home. Pelham tells Edith he loves her and proposes marriage. Edith is delighted but she does not immediately give Pelham a proper answer.
His cousin, Peter, dies in late July/August 1925 and Bertie succeeds to the title of Marquess of Hexham, becoming the seventh. Soon after the former Lord Hexham's death, Bertie stops at Downton Abbey at Edith's invitation on his way down south to Lord Hexham's deathplace in Tangiers. Bertie has decided to not disturb his cousin, who had already been buried, but will settle his affairs in Tangiers then return home and have a memorial service, to which he hopes Edith will attend.
Bertie eagerly awaits an answer to his proposal, but Edith hesitates due to her having to eventually tell him about Marigold's true parentage. He explains to her he is nervous about his new position and wants her by his side to help him through it, hinting that his widowed mother, the only family he now has left, does not have much respect for nobility.
The following morning, Edith is cornered by Mary into telling Pelham the truth. He is shocked by this, and he calls off his proposal, but he does so because he is hurt that Edith didn't trust him with the truth. He leaves soon after for Tangiers, but not before Edith and he wish one another luck.
2015 Christmas SpecialEdit
Bertie and Edith meet up again in London at the Hotel Ritz,a meet up organised by Mary and her aunt Rosamund. Edith is surprised to see Bertie again. Edith revealed to Bertie that he broke her heart and that Marigold is still a threat and that Bertie's mother wouldn't accept her for it. However Bertie revealed that ever since he broke up with Edith, he has not been managing well and reveals that he wants Edith back and also wants to marry her.
With their engagement back on, Edith, along with her parents, Lord and Lady Grantham, are invited to Brancaster Castle to meet Bertie's formidable mother. Mrs Pelham is initially pleased until she complains about the late Peter Pelham's immoral behaviour, and her hope that Bertie and his wife will uphold higher moral standards. Bertie sternly shuts her down. Later Edith, worried that her history would make her unsuitable for the role, came clean to Mrs Pelham about her past about Marigold being her illegitimate daughter. Although Mrs Pelham is initially against the possible marriage of her son to Edith, Bertie sticks up for Edith and claims he will marry her nonetheless and that he is not a child anymore and will make his own decisions.
Various guests are invited for dinner as Bertie was planning to announce his engagement to Edith. Mrs Pelham, about to say something horrid, is quietly reminded by Robert that she'll lose her son if she does so. Mrs Pelham holds her tongue and instead wishes happiness for Bertie and Edith and toasts them, as everyone does. After the grand dinner was over, Mrs Pelham is over by Edith and says that she was glad that Edith was upfront and honest with her, so therefore she agrees to the marriage and thinks it will be a success. Bertie and Edith share a kiss.
Bertie and Edith get married at the St Michael's Church at Downton with everyone in attendance, including his mother. They host a large reception in the Great Hall at Downton Abbey. As they leave for their honeymoon, Mrs Pelham wishes Edith luck and happiness.
Bertie and Edith leave for their honeymoon and share another kiss in the car as the clock strikes midnight for the New Year, 1926.
Quotes Edit

This traveling exhibition is the first retrospective of the artist's paintings in two decades. Motley's scenes of life in the African-American community, often in his hometown of Chicago, depict a parallel universe of labor and leisure and are infused with the rhythms and colors of jazz. His portraits are voyeuristic examinations of race, gender and sexuality. Also included in the exhibition are his noteworthy canvases of Jazz Age Paris and 1950s Mexico, as well as works that address slavery and racial stereotypes.

Halter TopTiare In Olive

Elastic holds securely at the waist and top, traditional tubetops are elastic down the whole of the bust.
These dresses are the same tailoring and fabric as their top of the line hawaiian shirts. High quality rayon fabric retains both its color and texture and is cool to wear in heat and warm in the cold.
Olive Tiare Halter Top... $59.00
"Another Fine Genius Goods Store"
Gardenia taitensis Tiare Flower is an evergreen tropical shrub that grows to 4 m tall, it has glossy dark green leaves that are oppositely arranged along the stem. Native to the highland shores of the South Pacific, it has the distinction of being one of the few cultivated plants native to Polynesia. It is the national flower of French Polynesia and the Cook Islands.
Halter tops are a style of strap which holds up women's clothing which features a single strap or material which runs from the front of the garment around the back of the wearer's neck, and which enables most of the wearer's back to be uncovered. The term is derived from the halter, which is placed around an animal's neck. The halter style is commonly used with swimsuits, which enables the wearer to maximize sun tan exposure on the back and minimize tan lines. The halter style is also used with dresses or shirts, to create a backless dress or top. The neck strap can itself be covered by the wearer's hair, leaving the impression from behind that nothing is holding the dress or shirt up.
NOTE: Colors vary slightly between one computer screen and another. There may be minor differences in coloration between what you see on your computer and the top you receive in the mail. Mahalo!

Lee Hong Ki leaves mysterious and strange messages on Instagram
What's going on with Modern Farmer star Lee Hong Ki? That's the question on everyone's mind after he posted two strange messages on Instagram on October 22. The first message was short and simple and read: "It will break out soon. Are you doing your job right?"
Following that, he posted a photo of one of FTISLAND's posters from Japan along with this message: "You tell me that I've changed. That painful word changes me. These days when I feel like I've become most like human...That word changes me. An apology for each others mistakes... To me it seems natural but you... you don't say anything. My Heart aches today."
The photo Hong Ki posted along with the original messages:
(Photo Credit: mwave via Lee Hong Ki)
Can Rain and Krystal overcome a tragic past to find new love? Find out in My Lovable Girl
Both messages were since deleted, no one knows what they mean, and there has yet to be an update about it. Just taking a guess and speculating, maybe he's having some sort of issue with one of the group members. That's all I got out of it, how about you? What do you think Hong Ki could be referring to?
But since we're stuck guessing for now, we might as well stay positive and enjoy him in his current role in the new K-drama Modern Farmer, which you can view here.

INT: Anna Faris
I love Anna Faris. She is stunningly beautiful and is a damn fine actress. Her work in SMILEY FACE and the SCARY MOVIE franchise has offered her a chance to show how well she can take on comedy. But she has also had the opportunity to take on a few more serious films including a small but memorable roles in LOST IN TRANSLATION and BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, and of course one of my favorites, MAY. She returns this summer to try and gather a few laughs in THE HOUSE BUNNY. While I didn't quite like the film, it really wasn't made for a guy like me, I think it is the type of film that will appeal to pre-teen girls. Sure, Anna looks incredible, but the "be yourself' message felt a bit too Hannah Montana for me. Yet I still appreciated the work of Ms. Faris, and she even made me smile a few times as a Playboy Bunny ousted from Hugh's mansion.
Hey, did I mention I love Anna Faris? Well when I sat down to talk one on one with her I quickly was reminded why. She really is absolutely charming and incredibly easy to talk to. It is not everyday you get to talk with somebody about SORORITY BABES IN THE SLIMEBALL BOWL-O-RAMA. But Anna went along for the ride and had fun with it. It is great to see her in another starring role, even if the film didn't work for me, I think that more people will see what she can do. It's refreshing to see such an attractive woman willing to go all out for a role. And this Friday you can check out THE HOUSE BUNNY at a theatre near you.

Congressional attacks on public media seem to come as regularly as NPR fundraising drives. Every year, as the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) pleas for federal funding, some members of Congress denounce public media altogether, while others quietly vote to shave off another sliver of subsidies, rather than eliminate all funding. In the end, the CPB limps away still intact, but wounded.

Hardly a day passes without another black eye for the Little Rock School District.
It's fallout from last September's school board elections, which produced a new majority opposed to Superintendent Roy Brooks. Brooks earned his trouble. He treated board critics with contempt. He cut secret deals with fat cat private school patrons intent on using the public schools as a laboratory for untested pet projects. He declared war on the Classroom Teachers Association, which is not the gang of incompetent union thugs many suppose. He summarily dismissed concerns of inner-city neighborhoods. He ousted administrators by the dozens (not all of them deadwood, despite the received wisdom in the Little Rock business community).
Did the new board majority — Katherine Mitchell, Charles Armstrong, Dianne Curry and Michael Daugherty — do any better? I'm afraid not. They've treated Brooks roughly. They've worked in secret on a plan to remove Brooks and install administrators more to their liking. They've disregarded board policy and fine points of the law. Their maneuvers have been clumsy, a tragicomic series of poorly scripted surprise attacks.
Last weekend, Board President Mitchell unilaterally notified nine administrators after sundown Friday that they might not hold the same jobs next year if Brooks is terminated. She gave no formal advance notice to the board or public about her action, though at least one board ally said he'd been told informally. Notices of potential job changes are a matter of routine when school reorganizations are pending, but they are typically delivered by a superintendent. The notice had little legal meaning. On the face of Mitchell's letter, it seems to have been meant to silence the administrators in the ongoing effort to fire Brooks. (Indeed, he sued Monday making that precise point, though his suit is dubious legally. In short, he sued over damages that have not yet occurred.)
It should be evident to all that Brooks cannot successfully lead the Little Rock School District any longer. The board majority is within its right to change leadership if it can't work with Brooks. But they should simply buy out his contract, a decision he can't appeal in court. Mitchell believes there's cause to fire him. As I go to press, I have yet to see proof sufficient to change hardened minds on this point. The desire to punish Brooks has had ill consequences, however. Legal fees have mounted. And now Brooks has put the district back in the federal court it recently escaped.
Extending the fight guarantees more bloodshed. In September, we'll see the business community mount an all-out effort to shift the balance of power by defeating Brooks' foe Michael Daugherty in his black-majority district. It will be ugly and racially charged.
We've had enough fighting. The current board majority should negotiate a paid Brooks departure. It should reach out to those making efforts to improve board communications. A baggage-free interim superintendent with no interest in the permanent job, perhaps assisted by an academic or business executive, should be brought in to lead the district during a careful search for a successor.
Kids in the Little Rock School District are more important than Roy Brooks, whether your desire is to humiliate him or to save his job. It's time to start over. Sooner rather than later.

The mass-affluent are getting more serious about long-term financial objectives, although there is still a major gap between their retirement savings and retirement goals.
Retirement investing has moved back to the top priority again for mass-affluent Americans while paying down debt slides to second place, according to the most recent semi-annual Merrill Edge Report.
The report defines mass-affluent as people with $50,000 to $250,000 in total household investable assets.
This group-which numbers about 33 million households-is finding its "financial equilibrium," Merrill Edge said in a press release. After the financial crisis, this segment focused primarily on paying down debt as its top financial concern.
But now, investing for retirement is the top concern for 39% of respondents while paying down debt is the second concern at 26%.
Moreover, the mass-affluent has suddenly become aggressive as 77% of respondents are looking to actively grow their retirement nest egg. Indeed, they still have a lot of ground to cover as the average goal is $732,000, much higher than the average savings of $161,000.
"It's encouraging to see that mass-affluent investors are switching to a long-term view of their finances and that they are looking to place their debt behind them," said Alok Prasad, head of Merrill Edge, in a press release. "As the economy continues to come out of the downturn that began in 2008, this is a good time for both men and women to establish better money habits and set challenging, but realistic, retirement goals."
To be sure, the liability side of their portfolio is still very much in mind, as 44% listed paying down debt as their top financial accomplishment in the past year.
A final piece of good news for the advisors who cater to the mass-affluent: There are a lot of potential clients. Just 40% of the respondents said they get financial information or guidance from advisors while 28% get it from family and friends. This metric remains consistent with the last installment of the Merrill Edge Report from earlier this year.

Month: September 2003
Within days of tipping over and exposing its roots to the world above ground, my neighbor's maple tree has gone leave-crumbling crispy. Something that had been huge and strong and green and alive turned into something broken and splintered and fragile and dead. Without its familiar roots burrowing into the same ground and soaking in the same water it has for the past forty years, it is nothing. It couldn't find another way to take water, or hold on until someone could right it. It simply had no mechanism for adapting to its new circumstances. It is dead. That's why I always thought those "What kind of tree would you be?" questions didn't make much sense - what kind of tree would I be? I wouldn't - I'd have been dead decades ago.
It seems to be done now - as I wrote those words, the sun came out. Perhaps My Run of Bad Luck is over. Around our neighborhood, in fact, there was mostly very good luck. Only a few big trees went down, and it looks like minimal property damage. Excellent luck at this address - at worst the electricity flickered last night, and a fair-sized limb dropped onto the back roof. Otherwise, it was just a great evening to watch the forces of nature in action. Apparently I'm an exception, though, as the rest of the metro area didn't do so well. There are millions of homes without power, and the water supply in Fairfax County (suburban Virginia) was contaminated after the treatment plants lost electricity (no back-up generators, apparently). Alexandria, as usual, is swimming in floodwater. ~ While I think that emergency planning is always a good idea, I think that OPM and WMATA overreacted a bit. The Federal government really didn't need to close for the full day yesterday, and today I drove downtown with little trouble. On the other hand, erring on the side of safety makes sense. I'm just not sure whether an error of that magnitude was justified. (Edited to say: It was. Completely. If for no other reason than you really didn't want to squeeze millions of people who had not had a shower for a day or two into office buildings the next day . . .. The streets of Arlington and downtown DC were filled with thousands of people looking for something to do last night, and there were quite a few you didn't want to get too close to. ~ I went for a walk around the neighborhood early this morning, to see what had happened. Mostly branches and limbs everywhere, but one street was blocked by a tree, and another tree will make some new homeowners quite upset. A giant maple (at least 70 foot) took out their deck and detached garage. The house was just bought a week ago. Ouch.
I rode the Custis and Washington & Old Dominion ("WOD") trails today. For the first time this year. It felt like it. Nothing felt like it did when I rode it daily. Or looked it. My pace, from the beginning, was cut by 2/3rds. I cannot attack a hill anymore. Rather, I repeat to myself the admonition I drive my new-to-cycling friends crazy with - "use your gears!" And slowly, but surely, I make my way up the hills at 5-10 mph. The uniforms at the day school have changed. The soccer fields near the Turn-Where-The-Cyclist-Sued-The-County appear to be turning into tennis courts. One of the many floods that happen regularly along the Custis finally took out some of the older trees along the stream banks. I ride so slowly I am actually passed by a runner. I think I hate him. There are now some paths around the far side of the couple of the giant light pole bases. Before, they narrowed the path against the freeway retaining wall. Now you no longer have to cringe and wish yourself skinnier when you pass oncoming trail traffic. I am not tempted to cut through the Brandymore Castle hill woods, which is riddled with single-track trail. There are no children on the soccer field in Benjamin Banneker Park. The Masonic Lodge has erected a new memorial along the trail, near the spot where I once nearly caused an awful collision through my own lack of control of my new road bike. Mile 5 brings a pain to my right knee that slows me down to little more than a walking pace. Mile 5 is usually the end of my warm up. The raspberry bushes have no raspberries. The "fitness station" equipment along the Falls Church section of the WOD has been painted blue. I have to sit for a long while at my turnaround point in West Falls Church. The Bluemont Junction Trail is finally open. And catching the light just right at the bottom of the hill so that I can use the speed to get up the other side is no longer a convenience, but a necessity. But not everything was different- Taking the lane in traffic does not bother me, though I expected it to. I can still hit 28 mph on the first hill. I still do not cringe at the site of my worst bike accident ever, where I slammed into a concrete wall at speed. Groups of retired Marines still run in packs during the day. They understand "on your left!" The air is still cooler under the bridges (and will be warmer in the winter). The firemen are still grilling outside of the fire station. I can still use clipless shoes and pedals. The water fountains are still working. Other riders on mountain bikes still nod uniformly, and those on road bikes just as predictably blow by without a sign of acknowledgment. My bell still rings loudly. The length from my entry onto Wilson Boulevard near Bluemont until I arrive home is still the perfect cooldown ride. And best of all, I still got the same feeling I've had at the end of every ride since I first tried these trails in 1997 - I feel that I am better for it. So I guess things weren't all that different. It will all come back to me soon enough. Just like riding a bike, really.
Specifically, I am afraid of moving. Of things that move. Mostly it is just things that move too quickly. Or might require that I get out of the way on short notice. I haven't always been like this. Or really ever been like this. The physical world has never scared me. As a kid, anyone could point me at a ramp and I'd run my bike off of it. I was never really very good at it, but I loved skating and poured myself into it (and there is nothing like dropping into a 10 ft. half pipe to teach you about the importance of committment . . .). In recent years I've picked up the pace of my mountain biking, become more adventurous with my skiing, and had even planned to try skydiving this year. I was not afraid. I thrilled to these things. The physical risks and pleasures. I 've slammed into concrete walls and picked myself up and finished a ride. I've gone head over heels off of a bridge and into a gulch, only to laugh about it the rest of the day. Part of the fun was the risk. The possibility that things just might go wrong. No more. I am now afraid even when I am just walking. I worry that I cannot get out of the road quick enough. I fear that I will stumble in a crowd of kids. I am convinced that I cannot make it down a stairway without holding tight to the railing. A life that had no physical fear is now full of it. This has to change. Yesterday I finally found it within myself to get back on my mountain bike. I pulled it out a week ago. Cleaned and lubed it. Pumped the tires. Adjusted just right for service as a pavement bike. Ready for me. Ready to double the 3000 miles I put on it in the past few years (but not a single mile yet this year). So I pulled it out onto the street and got on the bike. And was terrified. Just sitting there. What if I have to stop short? What if I need my right leg? What if I push it too hard? Answers to these questions could only be learned by testing them. So off I went. And for 2.29 scary miles around the neighborhood, I learned no answers to those questions. But I did learn that it is possible to go 2.29 miles on a bike. I am still afraid. Very. But maybe - just maybe - a little less so.

Edinburgh hosts Scotland's largest school MUN Conference
One of Britain's largest Model United Nations Conferences took place in Edinburgh this weekend.
Over 600 teenagers took part in the three-day conference at George Watson's College. Now in its sixth year, it is the biggest school-based MUN in Scotland and attracts participants from as far afield as Egypt and Turkey.
Alexandra Wingate reports exclusively from the conference.
What is an MUN?
An MUN is a replica of the United Nations. As well as having a secretary general and a number of chairs, the conference consists of a variety of committees, a security council, a general assembly and an emergency debate.
Participants are assigned a member state which they then represent in various discussions. The challenge is for delegates to accurately portray the political policies and moral values of their assigned country, which usually differs in varying degrees to that of their own nation.
How does an MUN work?
As in the real United Nations, an MUN is primarily split into different committees which are attended by one delegate from each state. In George Watson's case, these consist of economic, environment, health, human rights, media, and political, with as many as 48 countries represented in each committee.
After lobbying for support, delegates can put forward a formal resolution for discussion. The proposal is then debated with opportunities to add amendments before the final resolution is voted on by all members. This format is replicated throughout the conference, in both the smaller security council and the large general assembly attended by all delegates from all countries.
The debates are formal and procedures are carefully overseen by a number of chairs. Discussions are detailed and rigorous with a typical session lasting around one to two hours.
Possible Junk Food Advert Ban
Scotland's Public Health Minister, Michael Matheson, has introduced a pre-9pm ban on the television advertising of foods which are high in fat, sugar and salt content.
Matheson has also written to Westminster Health Secretary Andrew Lansley asking whether he would support a move to introduce this ban across the UK.
"We want to introduce a pre-watershed ban and are looking to the UK Government to support such a move which would carry the additional benefit of encouraging our partners in the food industry to reformulate their produce to lower salt, fat and sugar content," said Matheson.
The ban would restrict the viewing of junk food and sugary snacks and affect a wide range of corporations such as Pizza Hut, Mars, Cadbury, KFC and McDonalds.
With the highest obesity rate in the UK, the new proposal is intended to combat Scotland's obesity problem. Particularly Scotland's childhood obesity which is a concern for heath experts with 1 in 5 primary school children being considered overweight. Currently there is a ban on advertising junk food during children programs, how ever Matheson is seeking tighter regulations and further actions.
"Broadcast advertising influences the choices made by children and can shape their attitudes to food as they grow into adulthood. Tackling obesity and encouraging people to make healthier life choices is one of the most important things we can do to improve the health of our nation," continued Matheson.
Even if Westminster refuses to join with the ban, the Scottish Government with still mover to introduce the ban within the country.
Mother's Day
By Silvia Montes and Sam Khan-McIntyre
Mother's Day
Mother's day has it its origins deep in history, falling on the middle Sunday of Lent, the Christian time of fasting.it has been celebrated on this day since the 16th century.This day was chosen because the fasting rules were relaxed, due to the biblical story of feeding the five thousand.
It is believed the celebration is influenced by the Roman Spring Festival of Cybele, the Mother Goddess.The date for this was chosen by Christians as the religion spread.
400 years ago, this was the day when people visited their mother church, it was said they had gone 'a mothering'.This was the largest church in the area, and where they had been baptised.
Click on this link for Simnel cake, a traditional British cake with young servants baked and took home to their mothers on this day, the only day of the year they were allowed to visit their families.
This may be a special present to bake this year to show your mother how much you love her and make her feel special with something personal

Guinea pig sets new world record
New record: Truffles makes a daring leap Video: YouTube/ The Courier
A Scots guinea pig has joined the ranks of many animal stars from across the world to break a record in the Guiness Book of World Records 2013.
Truffles, from Rosyth, Fife, jumped 30cm (12in) smashing the previous record held by London rodent Diesel who cleared a gap of 20.5cm (8.07in) in 2009. He has had his feat confirmed by the record breaking institution and will take part in a publicity for the launch of the latest edition of the book.
Thirteen year old Chloe Macari trained her pet to leap the distance after being inspired by Disney film, G-Force, in which a group of guinea pigs become special agents of the FBI.
"I had two shoe boxes and these cushions between them for safety," the youngster explained. "We kept moving the shoe boxes further and further apart. We started at around 15cm and he was quite good. He got to 20cm and then 25cm very quickly, within a few weeks."
The giant leap was filmed to ensure the record could be approved.
Edinburgh University may see a 24-hour library
A campaign will be launched during the Students Association elections at the end of March for the main library building on George Square to be open 24 hours a day.
The Student Council has already managed to extend the opening hours to 2:30am, and have previously argued for a 24-hour policy. Members of EUSA will now add their voice to the campaign, which is also keen to see other areas of the University, such as the Chrystal Macmillan building, extend their opening hours.

'No Smoking Day' urges Scots to quit
With 25% of adults smoking cigarettes, Scotland has the UK's highest percentage of smokers according to Government statistics. With this in mind, the nation will participate in the 28th annual "No Smoking Day" on 14 March, Ash Wednesday.
This year the British Heart Foundation has merged with the "No Smoking Day" charity, to support anti-smoking events at thousands of venues across the UK.
According to The Director of Policy and Communications for the BHF, "by joining forces we can enhance the No Smoking Day campaign and extend its reach, helping more people to quit… for both organisations, the opportunities posed by this merger were too good to miss."

Capital scrubs-up a Mile!
This week volunteers, business people, residents and council workers have been cleaning up the Royal Mile. The work is helping to conserve and manage the famous street to stop its reputation slipping. After a workshop organised by the council thirty people split into groups of four to repaint, pick up litter and remove graffiti from Castle Hill, Lawnmarket, High Street and the Canongate. A Royal Mile Manager will be appointed to help make the street "feel better" to walk around and the council believe the project will continue over 15 to 20 years. Edinburgh Napier News visited the Royal Mile today to have a look at this weeks result and find out people's thoughts.
New Pinhole Exhibition Invites All to Get Involved
The Botanic Gardens have today unveiled a new festival focusing on pinhole photography. The event is scheduled to run for two weeks, and is designed to be accessible to both professional and amateur photographers, as well as interested members of the public.
Kenny Bean organised the exhibit and has been working as a photographer for 25 years, branching out into pinhole photographs around 5 years ago. He described how "film cameras and digital cameras are quite strict in the photography that you do – you can see the image come back so you know its going to work, whereas pinhole photography is very random. You're not sure what you're going to get so it's more of a surprise and it's a different challenge to get a picture out of a pinhole camera than a digital camera."
The festival includes works by Jason Cornell, an artist who places a pinhole camera in his mouth and photographs everyday objects, as seen from the back of the throat. Minnie Veiss, another proponent of the art, uses a Camera Obscura set-up in conjunction with pinhole techniques.
The Stills Gallery and the Camera Obscura building are also involved in the project, with the gallery hosting a reading room where people can learn more about methods and techniques. The Camera Obscura is hosting children's workshops where kids can make a working camera obscura, which they can then take home.
The festival is open every day from 12 till 4pm, and features an open dark room for visitors to use as they wish. For complete novices, Bean explains that they are running "a beginners workshop, 2 till 3 o'clock every afternoon, so they can come and learn…how to take photographs with biscuit tin cameras…and then once they've learned how to do that they can come back…and just carry on working in the dark room themselves."
Lothian buses hike prices again
Bus passengers in Edinburgh are facing a new round of price increases this week. This marks the second price rise by Lothian Buses in 12 months.
As of the 4th of March 2012, single fare prices are rising from £1.30 to £1.40, while day passes are rising from £3.20 to £3.50. There have been no changes to student, child, or concession fares. The last price rise was in April 2011, when single fare prices rose from £1.20 to £1.30.

Why I Will Never, Ever, EVER Get a Tattoo
Would I have to start planning outfits around the tattoo like I plan for weather?
I could ask questions to Annie all day trying to get her to get angry (she never does), but I'm also kind of a weirdo.
I tried to think of the most annoying questions to get a provocation but as you can see Annie is cool as a cucumber -- even when I asked her, "So what are you going to do when your looks and beauty fail you?"
I know, I'm the worst.
But after Corynne made us go back to work, Jane's daughter Charlotte came barreling in like a very delightful tornado. That's when I made Annie describe all of our styles -- and asked what I could do to make her cry.
Spoiler alert: There is no crying in this video.
We're going to shoot more footage around the office, but I'd like to know what you'd like to see. Do you want to see us coming up with story ideas? Editing stories? Out in the wild as we are experiencing stories? Mud-wrestling in the office?
Will you tell us?
